  1. Yes. ... 'more of' ; look up 'Frabato the Magician ' . .... not the book .... the 'stage magician ' Later (after WWII ) he worked as a naturopath and had various health ideas and remedies but was sick himself , which led to many questioning , if his methods were valid , he should have healed himself .
  2. For me . the constipation seemed to have passed ..... site is behaving 'regularly ' .

    Whatever happens , do me a favor and get the horse to face towards the center of the image , especially with a main feature in a composition being close to an edge ... basic picture composition Becasue I am too lazy to type ; an image or subject located near the edge of a frame should generally face or move towards the center. This technique, often called "leaving room" or "leading room," prevents the subject from appearing trapped, creates better dynamic balance, and guides the viewer's eye into the composition rather than off the frame. Create Breathing Room: Placing a subject on the edge facing inward provides "space to move," which feels more natural and less claustrophobic. Dynamic Balance: While the Rule of Thirds encourages off-center placement for dynamism, having the subject look inward creates a balanced, engaging narrative rather than a static one. Avoid Distraction: A subject facing outward directs the viewer's attention to the edge, increasing visual weight there and causing distraction. Exceptions: In certain cases, such as creating a sense of tension, isolation, or if the subject is looking at something intentionally excluded from the frame, they may face outward, though this is a stylistic choice rather than a standard rule. In summary, having the subject face toward the center is a common, effective compositional guideline that improves the narrative flow of a photo.

  7. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    Hot again, went for a midday swim - this time 10 mins drive away as its a great spot ( river has changes after each flood ) . A beautiful 'side island' made of river gravel that is very fine and goes down into and under the water . It got overgrown and someone has weeded it and made a type of ceremonial path leading to the water; picked out the larger white quartz rock and lined the path with them , two large quartz sentinels are either side of the track as you come down to the beach , and , oh look, someone has made a really cool circle of quartz boulders precariously balanced on each other . As I get closer I see there is a central flat rock and someone has painted it bright blue .. Closer still and I realize it has a message painted on it .... I wonder what it says , what piece of cosmic advice awaits me ? I get closer and go around to the little entrance to read it .... '' Don't be a c**t .' yeah, well , that' s it I suppose ; the 10 commandments in a nutshell . .
  8. ... just then , trying to post the above ; 20 seconds then bad gateway again ! average 20sec wait each click on anything (if I dont get the bad gateway )
  9. I ran into one of their guys on my history forum ; moderator announcement ; introducing ...... who is here to help with administration . Who then proceeded to outright lie about who he was and what his role was . he started to evade my questions until I point blank ' Did you buy this forum or not ! Answer honestly ! . And then he fluffed and eventually admitted he did and who actually bought it . backlash from members , outraged at being lied to . etc . It might not have been sold though , did Sean's name USED to be on that register before ? I ran into one

  13. Not quiet .... not control will, but libido . Check the knight and minstrel tradition back then .... unrequited love rules ! But what about that every present in the background LUST ? ... the maiden must be saved from that ( check the images , many involve a maiden that needs to be saved by the 'pure' knight . sometimes you have to look hard ... where is Wally ?
