Producers of Dreams


I was playing with babel translater again after reading Bai Ling's blog today and so I translate her words back and forth and make poetry. Sort of. Here is what I got.
She is here: Bai Ling Blog for today or a day or two ago click here

She talk of naked this and naked that and so anyway, I play like so with Babel, first I translate alpha to sino trad and then sino trad back to alpha and I get this:

naked nakedness
赤裸裸體
naked naked

The naked Bai has naked blond feathers
赤裸百靈有赤裸白膚金髮的羽毛
The naked Bai has the naked white skin golden hair feather

But enough about me. Some years ago, I made a bad camera purchase decision and topped it off with a bad filter purchase decision too. I bought a polarizer that has a yellow tinge added to it and that was supposed to make everything better. It just made it yellow. Yellow is ok for hair, or blond, rather, but it is not so good for polarizers. And it only sort of polarized things because it was circular and it dropped the light by 2 or 3 f-stops so I had the camera on 800 ASA / ISO and so it was grainy to boot. Now I have BibblePro from BibbleLabs so I play with the picture again and I set autocolor on blue and it moves the sliders around and helps some, and I added a little bit of Noise Ninja too. Noise Ninja does magic.

I notice things about this gal's hair but not until later, when we eat junk mexican food beside that place that probably had bird poop on the tables and no, the place does not have table cloths. And I know how to make the hair touch up but I will not reveal the details here. It does not matter. I did not notice earlier and since it was a model event for mostly younger ones and some had parents, I did not assume she was a parent because she did not have younger one so I assumed she was model. Bashful model. She is a beautiful model.

And it took me almost two hours to get her to act playful. She did. Eventually. But the pictures all stunk because the camera is no good and the ASA is wrong for good pictures and the filter is bad investment and actually, the only thing good about the picture is that she is pretty. I think in the end she act pretty because she think no one was watching, like she is more used to being on the other side of the camera.

So here is the picture the way BibblePro fix it. I have 200 pictures so your choice of which one is best may be different than mine. It is slightly pink the way Bai Ling's pictures are today, consult the link above for details.

So what do you think? Let me know, huh?


(this picture temporarily removed cuz she said I can do another picture)
