This is so cool. They should do this at the Thames for the olympics
100,000 LED Lights Illuminate a Japanese River
Tokyo Hotaru Festival 2012 took place recently, releasing 100,000 blue LED lights to float in the Sumida River. The bulbs rolled along the waves of the river bank, mimicking hotaru (the Japanese word for “fireflies”), for the festival that celebrates the Japanese tradition of watching fireflies float along a watercourse. The spectacular event lit up the waterway with a sparkling sapphire radiance against the night sky.
The solar-powered LED balls, known as prayer stars, were designed to illuminate when they came in contact with water and were provided by Panasonic, one of the event’s sponsors. At the close of the festival, the bulbs were gathered by giants nets and removed from the stream.

What would it be like playing Settlers of Catan with the Fonz! This ones for you Juan-Luis Sanchez. This came from a brief observation from a game of settlers of catan, it also probably won’t make sense to many people and I know its technically wheat but the joke wouldn’t work otherwise :)

Went for a little walk today as the weather has finally gotten a bit nicer. This set of photos were taken around the back of Lympne Castle near to where I live. There was a lovely clear sky and sunset and it leant itself very well to some nice silhouettes. I had to look up how to spell that by the way :)

Nice view over the Romney marsh during sunset. It’s surprising just how quickly the sun actually sets. It seemed to be going within a couple of minutes
About me
Hey I'm James. I'm a visual effects artist for films, some of which you may have actually seen. It's a pretty cool job I have to admit :) I've always had an interest in the visual whether its graphics, illustration, film and especially photography. This blog is mainly a general jumble of words and photos and 3d images from me.
