She did like the polish, though. At least, I think she did. She spent several long moments puzzling over the holographic display. It's not like she's never seen a holo before! Still, they always seem to leave her a little confused....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135968514878220352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026431379907947468.post-5230159562237598632015-02-21T14:18:48.907-05:002015-02-21T14:18:48.907-05:0014 MILES HIGH?! Well, dang. That's pretty am...14 MILES HIGH?! Well, dang. That's pretty amazing to think about. Ugh I know, I always end up discarding the blurry ones during editing too even though at the time of shooting I felt that they are in some ways more representative of the polish's effect...<br /><br />What did Fuzzy think of this polish, then?? Did it capture the essence of her experience? :)Marisa Sprinklepuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174436310379261208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026431379907947468.post-62228115470577185352015-02-18T04:20:39.010-05:002015-02-18T04:20:39.010-05:00There's a beautiful photo of Skjaldbreiður in ...There's a beautiful photo of Skjaldbreiður in the shield volcano entry of Wikipedia. I bet you're right about the etymology of the name, you brilliant woman! On Mars, there's a shield volcano formation that is 14 miles in elevation, over twice as high as the tallest Hawaiian shield volcano and supposedly one of the tallest known peaks in our solar system. <br /><br />I love looking up Lulu's polish names because I find out cool stuff like this. I also learned when I posted this polish that my mom has actually been to Haleakala! Her mother, my grandmother, took her and her sisters there during a trip around the world they went on when my mother was a teenager. Mom was like, oh yeah, I've been to that volcano....<br /><br />You're right about blurred photos and holos and it's also true for dynamic nature of glitters, there's no better way to show the sparkle. My "claw" hand position photos were originally an intent to get part of the picture to be blurry, but I inevitably discard the more blurry ones because they look (and actually ARE) too accidental to me. One of these days I hope to figure out how to get my brain to absorb more of the technology of taking photos....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135968514878220352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026431379907947468.post-84290274138930959472015-02-18T02:40:57.922-05:002015-02-18T02:40:57.922-05:00Wow, shield volcanoes are so interesting!! I had ...Wow, shield volcanoes are so interesting!! I had no idea that a "mountain" of that profile could actually be volcanic... I just looked up Icelandic ones (you know, figuring there would be loads), and not only is there one literally just named Skjaldbreiður ("broad shield", ostensibly another possible origin of the general typological name), but they are all around near Þingvellir and other places I visited!! What the heck!! I'm going to have to be more on the lookout next time. <br /><br />GORGEOUS swatches, btw, and an excellent choice for sultry Valentines <3 Interestingly, I find when I am taking pictures that slightly blurry ones invariably convey the intensity of a holo flame much more accurately than a focused shot.Marisa Sprinklepuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174436310379261208noreply@blogger.com
