#3wordchallenge Nov 12: Drum Beat Strong - Music
The Pulse Behind the Smoke
Every beat summons the storm.
#Drummer #LiveEnergy #StageArt #MoodyLight #MusicVibes #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares
A dramatic, cinematic portrait of a drummer captured mid-performance. The figure sits centered behind a drum kit, their silhouette outlined by intense backlighting that streams through clouds of stage smoke. A brilliant red-orange spotlight glows like a burning sun above their head, casting a fiery halo around their wild, backlit hair. The drummer’s face is partially obscured in shadow, while both arms are raised high, drumsticks poised in the air as if commanding thunder. The surrounding darkness amplifies the scene’s raw energy—dimly lit cymbals and drums gleam faintly in the foreground, while textured haze softens the background into abstract tones of gold and charcoal. The atmosphere feels electric, almost supernatural, like a ritual of rhythm and flame.

Backlit water, bright roar. I held the line; the night complied. Elegance is governance—signed in silhouette.⁣⁣

This is Nepeta basking in the sunlight. It's really the best thing to do in sunlight, I gather. 😁
A fluffy calico cat is basking in the sunlight, sitting in front of a window on a square stool that has a green blanket draped over it. She is backlit, her face in shadow but looking directly at the camera.

Do Ab. It’s great for anything white or when you’re photographing a bird that is backlit. Good luck.

This is the piece I was planning to finish for Halloween before I got super artblocked! I started it on October 1st. (November is kind of like Halloween, right?)

My costume was supposed to be "The most reasonable misreading of my @" #art #oc
My sona Den as a train conductor, closing a pocket watch, says, "I happened to notice that the ticket you possess isn't yours. He lets loose the pocket watch, with its chain wrapped around his wrist, revealing an eye-like hole in the middle of it. He says, "I would've let you off the hook if you let me return it and left, but you seem pretty desperate to catch a ride out of town. Not to worry- I'm sure we'll find a suitable arrangement for you." He is backlit by the lights from the train behind him and a blood red moon, surrounded by clouds that seem to encircle it. His eyes glow unnaturally yellow, as does the hole in the middle of the watch. Zip is there too.

Photo with Text: The photo: a United States flag, backlit by a low sun 10 November 2013 on the former Army base, now a National Historic Site: Fort Scott, Kansas. The Text: Headline: Democratic Socialism Subhead: Democracy That Works For You Body Text: Do not point to the failures of the American "experiment" and tell us that "democracy does not work." Democracy would work just fine, if that was what we had. But this is late-stage monopoly capitalism, in which all the costs are borne by the people, and all the benefits accrue to the corporations, the oligarchs, the billionaires. Additional Context related to the Photo: This happens to be the fort where the 1st Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry was recruited and trained in mid-1862 and where it was mustered into federal service on 13 January 1863. This was the first Black military unit recruited in a Northern state and the first such unit to see battle. Over the course of the War Against Secession, this unit suffered the highest casualty rate of any military unit from the state.

Started green, then went deep red. Absolutely the best aurora show I’ve seen in the 20+ years living here - even without the camera enhancing everything. Northwestern Massachusetts.
Photograph of the aurora borealis, with a black shadowed hill and some trees at the bottom. The aurora is bright green the bottom, bleeding into red above; some spears of light crossing from the green up to the red with a spotlight effect. The aurora light show about ten minutes later than the first picture. Again there’s the black silhouette of hills and trees, backlit by the vivid aurora. Pale whitish at the bottom, but the sky is mostly dominated by deep red light with some spears visible.

Kept the door knob in the pic for a sense of scale, it’s a doozy!
Decided to add fireflies, next to add their glow. Also working on the trees. So close!

i didn't think there'd be enough sky to view the aurora but daamn, this looks cool as hell!
looking northwest at the sky with trees in the lower-right. the sky is a gradient of colors with a cyan at the top, purple on the right, and an ethereal pink. the clouds are a cyan color, backlit by the rainbow overhead looking northwest at the sky with trees in the right half. the clouds are a greenish color whilst the sky behind them is a salmon-y color looking straight up at the sky, the clouds are a greenish grey, with a red glow behind them and some stars poking through

The best of the original aurora photos I took in my back yard.
A photo of the night sky blanketed in an aurora. The majority of the sky is mauve, shades of pink and bruised purple. At the bottom is a pale green above, a neon green. Some stripes of cloud Are present on the right of the image under dotted stars. This all serves as a backdrop for the shadows of trees and a power line pole. A large tree with a split trunk that branches numerous times upward shows bits of green at the leaves towards the top but is mostly a shadow with the silhouettes of more trees alongside it in the background. Behind it is a glowing sky, the bottom fifth a bright and pale green into a light pink that darkens, as it goes higher until it's a rich, dark pink at the top. A landscape photo. Of a starry night sky with an aurora coloring it. Yellow white clouds draw lines above the faintest shadows of power lines across the center of the pink upper majority of the sky. To the left are the leafy branches of a deciduous tree, and to the right, the packed, fluffy silhouette of a conifer. At the bottom is the top of a distant forest, backlit in green.

Finished my DMG GAME Boy Lego birthday gift! Plus a side-by-side with my modded backlit DMG~
An assembled Lego Nintendo Game Boy set including the unit itself, extra game cartridges for Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda Link’s Awakening, and lenticular screen inserts that can be swapped from the back. The set’s packaging sits behind them.

Cool to see something like this in the midwest even thru the light pollution! Last time this happened around here they were just barely visible. These were pretty hard to miss with the naked eye!

NASA Astronomy Hourly Picture - 2017-06-04: Orion: Belt, Flame, and Horsehead
#Astronomy #NASA #Space
What surrounds the famous belt stars of Orion? A deep exposure shows everything from dark nebula to star clusters, all embedded in an extended patch of gaseous wisps in the greater Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. The brightest three stars, appearing diagonally on the left of the featured image are indeed the famous three stars that make up the belt of Orion. Just below Alnitak, the lowest of the three belt stars, is the Flame Nebula, glowing with excited hydrogen gas and immersed in filaments of dark brown dust. Just to the right of Alnitak lies the Horsehead Nebula, a dark indentation of dense dust that has perhaps the most recognized nebular shapes on the sky. The dark molecular cloud, roughly 1,500 light years distant, is cataloged as Barnard 33 and is seen primarily because it is backlit by the nearby massive star Sigma Orionis. The Horsehead Nebula will slowly shift its apparent shape over the next few million years and will eventually be destroyed by the high-energy starlight.
