[@planet4984]

btw, did you see my latest burn project, extracted from your vids!. Belief or not, you should find interesting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aImwkpVmmKxredU

[@GautamKhetwal]

thank you very much :)

[@GautamKhetwal]

yes i have seen :) looks different

[@planet4984]

well, i'm very experienced with burning & careful. it works like enhancing the shadows & highlights. as far as i'm concerned, i don't draw a thing, all of the lines are there. eg: imagine a large & long step viewed from a distance, but it is mostly collapsed & crumbled into a rough ramp & only a few areas are a clean step, the ground either side of the step is fairly flat/ smooth, there are other rocks/ grass etc also that confuse our ability to see the long step, so we don't see the whole line of the step, only the small parts that exist, we perceive to be separated. The gradual & careful burning will re-detect the line because of the smaller mass of shadow in the crumpled areas that is caused to grow to become a strong shadow like the sharp areas of the step & the whole expanse of line of the step is enhanced & more obviously visible. it can even work through trees and shrubs as although not visible to our eyes easily, the shadow of stepping ground levels can be the strongest & very gentle & progressive burning can detect the ground contours through the plants & trees. imo :) additionally, the burning can detect 2d color (shade) difference, causing the darker tone too grow & the lighter tone too grow, eg: say there was a stone box frame (like a window or door) and it was filled with soil similarly colored but not the same, also the texture of fill & frame may differ. from a distance the box frame would disappear, the area would look flat. careful burning would expose (through tonal growth) the differences & make the box frame visible and separated. However burning is not perfect, (nor is human perception), but i say from experience that it works for the most part.

[@GautamKhetwal]

its like playing with shadows and light :)

no gimbal or stick, just a tripod and everything handheld :)

[@Siddeo]

So you don't take much videos while walking? Because without a Gimbal or a Gyroscope aided software stabilization like in the Pixel Phone, the footage becomes very shaky. Even iMovie can't help with that much shaky footage...

[@GautamKhetwal]

no cement, most of it is carved out of monolithic rock, like carving a big block of cheese from outside to inside making stairs and rooms, for such construction you dont need binders as it is carved inside the mountain rock itself, however for some stone walls like open houses of those times or in sea fort the rock was first chiseled into cubic shape than placed on one another with binders like sea salt, sugar, ashes, lime, and some other natural elements :)
