The cloud forest (also moss forest) in Lubuk Sikaping West Sumatra, 2000m. The temperature stays around 20 degrees Celsius and the humidity is almost 100% all the time. Ideal habitat for many pitcher plants and orchids.

White-eared Hummingbird by Adam Rainoff Via Flickr: In the verdant enclave of Villa Verde, situated at the gateway to Honduras's majestic Celaque National Park, I captured the essence of the White-eared Hummingbird, Basilinna leucotis. This bird, a symphony of nature's finesse, was photographed amidst the vibrant tableau of Central America's cloud forest, a region where every hue and cry of wildlife feels amplified in its purity. The photograph highlights the distinct white mark behind the eye, a characteristic feature that gives the species its name, and the subtle yet striking red of the bill that contrasts sharply with the bird's dark facial mask. From a photographer's standpoint, this image was a dance with light and shadow, requiring a delicate balance to ensure the bird's iridescent features were showcased against the soft natural backdrop. Employing a shallow depth of field allowed for the bird's intricate details to stand out, while the play of light accentuated the textures of its plumage. The challenge was not just to capture the image but to convey the story of this hummingbird's existence within the larger narrative of the ecosystem it inhabits—a story of coexistence and mutual dependence. ©2022 Adam Rainoff

It's been a while, huh? Turns out that while making games is hard, having a freelance job is harder. And I'm a people-pleaser who is also working on a game engine, so it took several months of several people telling me to make something for myself for me to come back here.

This game is a "short" platformer called Cloudforest, that has been in my brain for over a decade. It started in a custom python engine, got moved to Unity when I started this blog, and is now ported to Godot. This time, maybe I'll actually finish it lol. I like Godot more than Unity for this project so far.

I don't think I ever even showed the art for these rocks here - I spent a week on that formation in the second screenshot, blithely saying to myself "I'll turn it into tiles later" - then I realised how difficult it was going to be and gave up. So, a few years later, I'm finally trying to do it properly, and the first screenshot shows my progress. Needs a bit more space between repeats, but I'm pretty happy with it so far.

The quick technique I discovered to get these rocks done:

1. Start on a dark background and don't be afraid to let things fade into it 2. Draw a flattened, down-pointing triangle in a light colour - that's a rock's top plane 3. Draw a longer triangle under it on the left side - so two points join the light triangle - in a medium colour. That's a rock's left plane 4. Mess around with intermediate colours and a highlight/shine colour until it looks ok

Then repeat steps 2 to 4 a few thousand times, varying it each time…

We were very lucky to be able to find the infamous Resplendent Quetzal, a two-tone iridescent bird of the trogon family found only in the elusive high altitude cloud forests of Central America. Revered by ancient cultured of the region, the bird is as stunning in real life as in the pages of legend, justifying the tiring hikes in search of them. @quetzalbirdwatch @cloudforest @birdwatchingmagazine @visit_costarica #quetzal #quetzalcóatl #resplendentquetzal #green #iridescent #wildlife #wild #rainforest #jungle #cloudforest #cerrodelamuerte #dantica #laselva #lanaturaleza #costarica #CR #puravida #rare #endangered #highaltitude #birds #birdwatching #birding #birdlife #saveourforests #chrismilliganphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CeWQrkpLcxW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Salkantay Trek Weather along the trek to Machu Picchu

Weather on Salkantay trek is very varied, due to the fact that it winds its way through wildly different terrain at different altitudes. The only place where weather is a serious concern is the Salkantay Pass, and the nearby areas. Temperatures here, and at the nearby Soraypampa campsite, can fall below freezing. The other camps are much warmer, due to their proximity to the cloud forest.

Average Minimum and Maximum temperature in Cusco

- The months September, October, November and December have a nice average temperature.

- On average, the warmest month is September.

- On average, the coolest month is January.

Sparkling-tailed Hummingbird by Adam Rainoff Via Flickr: In the serene setting of Villa Verde, near the entrance of Celaque National Park in Honduras, I had the privilege of photographing the Sparkling-tailed Hummingbird (Tilmatura dupontii). The challenge of capturing this dynamic creature, known for its fleeting movements and stunning iridescent plumage, was an exhilarating experience. The bird's vibrant greens and blues stood out brilliantly against the lush backdrop, a testament to the rich biodiversity of the region. From a technical standpoint, this shot required a balance of patience and quick reflexes. I used a fast shutter speed to freeze the bird's rapid motion, coupled with a wide aperture to ensure a sharp focus on the hummingbird while softly blurring the background. This technique helped in highlighting the delicate details of the bird's feathers and its graceful poise. To fellow photographers, this image represents not just the beauty of wildlife photography, but also the satisfying challenge it presents in capturing nature's fleeting moments. ©2022 Adam Rainoff
