I could hear the din from the bar as I exited my SUV and I was still almost a block away. What a shame! I knew from long experience that would change as soon as my foot crossed the threshold. I tend to have that effect on people. I’m six feet six inches tall and I weigh an even 250 pounds—all of it broad shouldered muscle. My Body Mass Index at my last physical was less than four percent. My light brown hair is styled exactly the way it’s been for the past fifteen years—ever since I first joined the Navy. Sure enough, no sooner had I taken my first step into the bar than the noise died. When I turned left and stepped up to the bar the people there couldn’t back away fast enough. I took a stool in the middle of the empty space and sat down, waiting for the bartender to approach. “I’m not looking for any trouble.” “Good…neither am I. Give me a ginger ale.” He reached under the bar for a glass and some ice. Twenty seconds later he slid the glass in my direction. I pulled a fiver from my pocket and dropped it on the bar. He ignored it and walked away to draw a few beers and pour some wine. It looked to me like this was a pretty cheap crowd. Checking up and down the bar all I could see were longnecks and drafts. I reached into the lower left pocket of my cargo pants. Like almost everything else I was wearing they were a true deep navy blue. My heavy shoes were black as was my wide belt. My belt said as much about me as the bold white lettering across my chest. Just below the American flag over my heart were the letters that were my life—U. S. MARSHAL. On my right hip was my nickel plated .44 Magnum Colt Python, just behind two speed loaders in addition to the twenty-four rounds on the belt. On my left hip was my ASP Talon baton—every bit as deadly a weapon in my hands as the revolver. A pouch at the back of my right hip held my stainless steel handcuffs and its partner on the opposite side held my radio—my link to my backup team. I placed the photo flat on the bar as the bartender returned to me. “I’ll have another,” I said in a loud voice, continuing so I wouldn’t be overheard. “Don’t pick it up and don’t make a production of looking at it. I’ve been told that he comes here a lot. Is he here tonight? If he is and he escapes because you’ve given me away I’ll see to it that you’re arrested for obstruction of justice.” He gulped a few times but did as he was told, nodding slightly in response. I continued almost at a whisper. “If my nose is pointing to twelve o’clock, my right ear to three, the back of my head to six, and my left ear to nine, tell me where he is. Again, don’t point or do anything obvious and we’ll be fine.” He pretended to wipe the bar as he whispered, “About 4:30 with his back to you.” I picked up the reflection in the mirror then asked, “Red shirt with black and white stripes, looking away from me?” He nodded again. Now, in my normal tone of voice I asked, “Where’s the men’s room?”

Devil Child

Devil Child

The future of mankind rests in Noe's hands. Having faced brutal bullying throughout his life, Noe is sent to a boarding school where his luck takes a sudden turn for the fantastical. Planet Earth, 2075. Humanity is hanging by a thread after World War Three rendered the globe inhabitable. With the introduction of angels, demons and realms unknown, will Noe play a hand in saving humanity or let the humans that mistreated him burn beneath his flames? To destroy the World or save it? That is the question. Excerpt: Like a demon of destruction, Noe snaps. His vision blurs and dissipates, scattered like glass beads across cement. When he comes to, he is no longer watching the scene but is at its epicenter, soaking in a pool of purple blood, maroon cadavers strewn across the ground. Every centimeter of the hall is covered in gore - except for Mr. Henderson, whose eyes, wide-blown in astonishment... and horror, are captivated by Noe's neck. Looking down at himself, Noe sees thousands of black feathers have sprouted out from his own flesh. They tingle at the root and shudder as he breathes, as if leaves clinging to a tree in winter. Blood coats his every morsel. Springing his now grey fingertips onto his neck, Noe perceives what feels like the head of a purple hyacinth wrapped around it, its ribbon-like strands interlocking and jetting as if growing from his voice box. Touching his face, porcelain-smooth, painted by blood, marble skin appears unbreakable. It was all for first love. —- Discord: SEP1A#9769 Cover Art: raazu692 | Fiverr

Portrait photography, lighting style, design concept
The design concept of the lighting style of portrait photography mainly revolved around the following aspects: ** 1. Create character characteristics and atmosphere ** 1. ** Strengthens personality and temperament ** - For example, splitting the light and dividing the face into two, one side light and one side dark, could create a strong sense of drama. It was suitable for people with strong personalities or temperament, such as artists, musicians, etc., and would also have a strong masculine taste. When using this lighting arrangement, one must pay attention to the change of the lighting arrangement according to the face of the subject. When the head turns, the lighting also needs to follow. 2. ** Adjusts facial appearance ** - The wide light turned the side of the light to the camera, which was suitable for people with thin faces. The thin light turned the darker side to the camera, which made the face look sharper and more three-dimensional. The two lighting methods were the same but in opposite directions. - The circular lighting allowed the nose to cast some shadows on the cheeks, and the light source had to be slightly higher than the plane of the eyes and the camera by 30 - 40 degrees. If the reflective board was placed too low, the light hitting the nostrils would not be able to create the desired effect. - Under the Paramount Light, the two sides of the character's nose, from the bottom of the eye to the edge of the cheekbone, would form a bright area, looking like the shape of a butterfly's wings. - There was an international standard for triangular light. The shadow of the nose was cast diagonally downward toward the corner of the mouth. There was a bright triangular light block on the face in the direction of the shadow of the nose. In actual shooting, a large triangular light and a small triangular light were derived, which had a unique effect on the three-dimensional feeling of the human face. 3. ** Creating a different atmosphere ** - The top light was a special styling effect. The prominent parts such as the forehead, cheekbones, and nose bridge were very bright, while the back light under the brow bone, eye sockets, under the nose, and chin would form a thick shadow. The subject's face was distinct and had a strong three-dimensional outline. In addition to providing the main light, it could also take into account the outline light (such as light) and decorative light (such as eye light). The relative distance between the light source and the person was adjusted according to the shooting intention. The closer the light source was to the subject, the softer the light would be, and vice versa. Under the top light source, by arranging a reflective plate on one side of the subject, the contrast between light and dark could be reduced to ensure that the dark details were reflected. ** 2. Guide the viewer's line of sight and visual attention ** 1. ** The importance of the direction of light projection ** - The direction of the light was the most important part of the lighting arrangement. Light from different directions had different modeling meanings, which determined the size of the light receiving surface and the area of the shadow. The contrast of light and dark directly determined the tone and atmosphere of the picture. For example, backlighting, where the light angle was opposite to the shooting angle, was relatively rarely used in portrait photography. The light angle was the same as the shooting angle, which was more common but not suitable for expressing the sense of space and was suitable for showing positive details. 2. ** The influence of the face and gaze direction ** - The direction of a character's face determined how much light the face received. Generally, the face faced the direction of the light source. When the face needed more light, the character could turn the face slightly to the light, and vice versa. At the same time, this would cause a series of changes in the outline, eyes, limbs, and so on, which needed to be adjusted accordingly. - The eyes of a character were the most important organ to convey emotions. The expression of the eyes could convey the artistic conception and atmosphere of the work. The character's eyes looked at the camera or elsewhere with different meanings. Opening or closing the eyes also described different emotions. The direction of the character's gaze was also a factor that needed to be considered when designing the lighting style. ** 3. Draw lessons from the art of painting ** 1. ** The use of light and dark techniques ** - The same problem that photography and painting faced when transforming a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional world was how to display a three-dimensional visual experience on a flat surface. Light and darkness could hint at volume and space, becoming an effective means of expression. For example, the Renaissance painters 'research results on the changes and expressiveness of light and shade were used by photographers. Caravagio developed the tradition of using light and shade to express volume and space and create a mysterious atmosphere to the extreme. Rembrandt created a wonderful light effect in front of the dark background. The color of the bright part was thick, and the dark part was thin and transparent. This contrast between light and dark could also be used in the design of portrait photography. The dark background and dark-colored clothing could be used as a prerequisite for lighting. This contrast between light and dark made people feel comfortable and pleasant. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
