New photo series entitled "glitch" inspired by the recent trend in interfering with the text make up of an image to create imperfections or glitches. What I do is edit the text of the image using the quote in which inspired the image. So to glitch this photo I used the quote above and copy/pasted the text already within the image.
The Fokker Dr.1 (Dreidecker, ”triplane” in German), often known simply as the Fokker Triplane, was a World War 1 fighter aircraft built by Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. The Dr.1 saw widespread service in the spring of 1918. It became famous as the aircraft in which Manfred von Richthofen gained his last 19 victories, and in which he was killed on 21April 1918.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Fokker Dr.1 is a must in any collection of WW1 aircraft models, so it has been on my to-doo list for a long time. I did hesitate building one because there are so many brilliant models out there, and I did look at all the models out there, but this is completely my own design. It follows the same design characteristics as with my other WW1 models, such as engine cowling, wings and landing-gear. There is one key design feature of the Fokker Dr.1 I didn`t manage to recreate, the engine cowling ”face” with the two ”eyes” are missing. I couldn`t find a way to do it, so until I find a way it will be without ”eyes”.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

My dad's Canon AE-1 with modeling duties as I play around with my 2x Nikon SB-600 flash set up and a Nikon SU-800 commander.
Ironic, I know, taking a photo of my dad's Canon AE-1 with my Nikon D7200. LOL
I am more used doing 1x off shoe flash photography; I did try a 3 flash setup when I had 3 SB-600s and used the built in Creative Light System (CLS), but sadly had to return one of them due to misfires, and another had water damage by accident, leaving me with only one.
A few days ago, I got another SB-600 and this time a SU-800 so I can trigger the flashes a lot better/faster than always going on the submenu to control the built in CLS, and only now am I practicing how to control 2 flashes more efficiently.
I will hopefully save up for a SB-910 as my main flash and then practice a 3x off shoe flash photography.

Vought OS2U Kingfisher.
My latest addition to my collection of 1:40 Aircraft models : Vought OS2U Kingfisher.
About this creation:
When Jim Mcdonough was close to completing his Missouri, he suggested me to build an OS2U Kingfisher, since he was not completely satisfied with his own. At that time, I was working on my own top 10 favorite list of aircraft from WW2. But now I have finally collected the bricks so you can see the final result. The Kingfisher is not a fighter, and its performance is not particularly impressive, but to see it landing on meter high waves is quite spectacular, and certainly an unpleasant experience for the crew.
I started the design based on my F4U Corsair when I found that the engine sections looked quite similar to each other. But it was quickly rejected after a close study of cowling measures. Instead I found a suitable wheel plus a turbine part that fit almost perfectly.
This model also featured a number of challenges;
First, to mount the main pontoon in a sufficiently stable connection that was not too bulky.
Second, the design of the mainpontoon, which teased me so much that I had to reject my LDD design, and rebuild the rear of the pontoon on the table to obtain a sufficiently strong design.
The third and last major challenge was to get the correct dihedral angle. The wings are hinged at the correct angle and part of the wing structure protrudes into the aircraft fuselage and locks the wings securely so that they do not tilt up or down. This has also given the advantage that I could build the wings with a fine smooth surface and a nicely curved leading edge.
The color choice is not entirely in accordance with an original color scheme, but adapted so it still resembles the pictures you can see if you google images of the OS2U.
Praise and criticism is always welcome
History:
The Vought OS2U Kingfisher was an American catapult-launched observation floatplane. It was a compact mid-wing monoplane, with a large central float and small stabilizing floats. Performance was modest, because of its light engine. The OS2U could also operate on fixed, wheeled, taildragger landing gear.
The OS2U was the main shipboard observation aircraft used by the United States Navy during World War II, and 1,519 of the aircraft were built. It served on battleships and cruisers of the US Navy, with the United States Marine Corps in Marine Scouting Squadron THREE (VMS-3), with the United States Coast Guard at coastal air stations, at sea with the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy, and with the Soviet Navy. The Royal Australian Air Force also operated a few Kingfishers from shore bases.
The Naval Aircraft Factory OS2N was the designation of the OS2U-3 aircraft built by the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The OS2U first flew on 1 March 1938.

Flicker Fighters
After the villain, Ambush, was taken away in an ambulance Ben was relieved. Finally, he got the name of the woman who had been trying to have he and his Mum killed. With this information they could have her arrested or exposed. Ben quickly makes his way to ‘Imagine’ to tell his Mum the news. However, he gets an idea. If he were to pay this Shiela Baron a visit. Perhaps, in his armoured suit then this woman might get the message across that she’s bitten off more than she can chew. Ben and his Mum were stubborn and they were fighters. He wasn’t going to let this woman possibly get away with her crimes by bribing the police. No, he was going to scare her off. He had the upper hand, he had her name and location now.
Ben makes his way to the storage department and looks over some of the Mech armour models. He needed something with a weapon to intimidate and threaten. The model “Excalibur” catches his eye and he read over the instruction manual before suiting up. He learned to do that beforehand, ever since the incident with the flight suit. As he finishes suiting up the fire alarm goes off and Ben frowns rushing out of the department. People are fleeing the building. But something isn’t right, the emergency sprinklers should have been triggered. Unless, they were switched off before the fire had occurred. This was deliberate.
Ben: “No, Mum!”
Ben rushes up the stairs in his new armour. Luckily, it was lighter than his previous suit. Much lighter actually. He takes the hilt of the blade out from its compartment in the back of his armour and with a press of the button activates the blade. It folds out to its full length and glistens red from the fire alarm which flashes in the staircase. His Mum was on the 13th floor floor of the building. Luckily, he hadn’t came across any smoke yet as he made his way upstairs. That’s until he gets to the door and sees the hallway is glowing orange, and decorated with flames which cling to the walls. Ben rams the door open and stumbles ahead. Soot blackens his visor and he smears it away using his gloves. He squints, his eyes watering from the smoke. It’s then he sees a fireman standing outside his Mum’s door. After coughing Ben manages to find his voice and calls out for them. The foreman turns around, eerily looking at him with a tinted visor. That can’t be protocol, surely.
Ben: “Erm, excuse me?”
The fireman doesn’t say a word. But then again he doesn’t need to. Suddenly, his hands are engulfed in blazing flames and he holds them out at Ben. Ben had seen enough superhero movies to know what happens next. He leaps to the side. Just in time as a jet of flames spit out at the spot where he was standing. Ben gets to his feet wheezing from the smoke and runs at the Firefighter. Even though the villain was fully masked Ben could tell he was caught off guard by the stupidity of Ben running at him. The villain takes a few steps back and the flames around his fists burn brighter. He strikes the ground before him and it is set alight with an explosion. The extreme heat makes Ben burn from within his armour. He could feel his body wanting to crawl out from its metal tomb. But he had to shove the feelings aside and get to his Mum. The villain is silent and his tinted visor looks at Ben, waiting for his next move. He was purposely trying to wait him out, after all the villain was in firefighter gear. He was more prepared and better equipped in these conditions than Ben. The flames were growing taller, the oxygen was being burned away, and the ceiling was beginning to crumble. Nevertheless, Ben gets an idea. A very dumb idea. But, nothing else was coming to him. He takes several steps back and bursts into a run. The villain steps back and watches as Ben springs through the flames shielding his face. He feels his hair singe, his chin burn and his body scream in pain from the heat in his armour. Later, he emerges from the flames and slams his armoured body into the villain he had nicknamed, Firelighter. He and the villain smash through the door to his Mum’s office and Ben scrambles fo his feet with his sword at the ready. He looks around, his Mum nowhere to be seen. She must’ve left. She was safe, probably outside on the ground right now.
Ben: “You got to be kidding me.”

Retro Figs #1 Back to the Future (1985)
-
-
Back to the Future is one of my all time favorite films. The dialogue if fantastically written, Micheal J Fox and Chistopher Lloyd have incredible peformences, and the music is just so epic. -
-
-So fun facts about Back to the future.
-
-1: Eric Stoltz was actually the first person to play Marty. Robert Zemickis wanted Michael J Fox for the role, but he was shooting Family Ties every day, and didn't have room for it in his schedule. So they casted Eric Stoltz, shot around 3 weeks of footage, and then Robert and Bob decided that he wasn't the best fit, and so they fired Eric and convinced Micheal to shoot Back to the Future after Family Ties was done shooting (which is essentially 22 hours of filming a day!) -
-2: The ending to BTTF where Marty, Jenifer, and Doc travel in the Delorean to the Future wasn't actually meant to be a segway into a sequel. Robert and Bob never planned a sequel and put that in pretty much as a joke.
-
-3: BTTF 2 and 3 were shot back to back.
Today marks the end of the term woo! Just one more term of uni left and I'm going to be free :)! Yesterday I found out that 6/30 photos have been sold and mine was one of them! I am mega excited and really honoured that someone liked my photo so much that they paid for it!

Flicker Fighters
The villain on the glider was known as Hollyween. She was an assassin ‘in training’ who was hired by some guy to kill both Ben and his Mum. However, after crashing through a window she was quick to cough up her employers location. Before Ben payed them a visit he decided it was time for a quick costume change. He didn’t really like the flight suit, probably because he didn’t know how to fly in it.
As he made his way to ‘Imagine’ he decided to follow the lead without telling his Mum, she’d only worry. Besides, she’d hear he was okay on the news after he took off to fight Hollyween. He wanted to find the one responsible for threatening his Mum and her company. After an uncomfortable suit change he was back in the suit he’d appropriately nicknamed, Knockout. He never thought he’d be back in this armour ever since he used it to defeat Connie’s killer. However, here he was on yet another mission. Ben made his way to the location Hollyween had given him. He got a lot of suspicious looks and even was greeted by citizens on the street who recognised him. After a fifteen minute walk and getting lost a couple times, he found himself in an alley.
Ben: “I’m pretty sure this is where Bruce Wayne’s parents got shot.”
Ben didn’t know what it was but he felt as if he was being watched. The further ahead he walked the more prominent the feeling became. It could’ve been the armour but Ben felt unstoppable and capable of taking on anyone in this suit. So he wasn’t worried about the possibility of getting jumped. His confidence was soaring after he wiped the floor with Wylde; a super strong Metahuman. This suit gave him super strength and also enhanced his movements so he could swing his fist fluidly as if he didn’t have armour on.
Ben continues to walk through the alley until something slams against his shoulders and a squeal of metal screeches in his ears. He grunts and trips forward as something sharp nips the side of his neck. As he is about to turn to face the culprit he is rammed into a pile of trash cans. The deafening clanging of his armour against the metal bins gives him a sore head. He slowly pushes himself to his feet and awkwardly presses an armoured finger against his neck. He draws it away and notices a small amount of blood smeared on the metal fingertip. Ben turns his head and notices two knives are sticking out from his armour. They aren’t lodged in deep, only a few centimetres. Whoever did this probably didn’t expect the armour to withstand the attack. After a quick search Ben doesn’t see the attacker.
Ben: “Yeah, douchebag you better run!”
Ben didn’t know what that was all about but it doesn’t take him long until he realises Hollyween must’ve set him up. A backup assassin in case she failed, perhaps? Talk about being a cynic. Ben scratches the knives out from his armour and they fall to the ground. He continues walking ahead but stops.
Ben: “Should probably put those in a safe place so some kid doesn’t hurt themselves. Kids are stupid.”
It’s then Ben sees the knives are gone. He runs over with his fists raised and swings blindly in the open air for an invisible attacker. Just as he suspected he hits nothing but the open air. Ben quickly raises a fist near his face as a precaution, just as a knife suddenly gets lodged between his fingers.
Ben: “Whoa! Hey, not cool!”
Ben thrusts his other fist with a quick jab and strikes the invisible foe. He hears them grunt in pain and notices a cloud of dust billow out from against the wall in front of him. He must’ve smacked the attacker against it.
Ben: “Hah! Got ya, bish!”
Ben sprints over and pounds his fist against the spot on the wall but doesn’t hit nothing. Luckily for them he misses and his fist breaks through the wall. He pulls out quickly and spins on his heel in a 360° motion with his arms extended. He doesn’t hit anything. Crap, he’s lost them. Ben begins to feel claustrophobic in the alley way and jogs out onto the street, blending into the crowd. As someone who seems to be cloaked they must find it difficult to navigate crowds that can’t see them. Ben looks around in a panic, guarding his face with his gauntlets raised. People look at him confused as they walk around him. After a minute or so Ben makes his way hrough the crowd and stops before the road, trying to lure out his attacker. Cars pass and Ben is about to give it up until he hears a pained cry and a heavy thud.
Ben: “No freakin’ way.”
Ben looks across the road and watches as a car comes to a halt. A confused driver gets out, looking around. He notices his wing mirror dangling off the side of his car and curses. Ben jogs over, careful to avoid the overtaking cars. His foot catches an invisible force and he trips falling beside the confused driver. Ben awkwardly gets to his feet and looks down, noticing a dropped knife. He crouches down patting his armoured gauntlet along the ground until he hits something. A male voice exclaims in pain and Ben laughs in disbelief.
Ben: “Alright, show yourself.”
Ambush: “Arghh! No.”
Ben: “I’ll call you an ambulance if you show yourself. Wait, you’re not naked are you?”
The driver of the car stares in shock as he and Ben see a costumed man suddenly appear. Ben quickly withdraws his gauntlet as he realises it’s touching the attackers thigh. The attacker is cradling his side and is rocking in pain on the road. He must’ve went on the road to avoid the crowds on the street and unfortunately got hit by one of the speeding cars. Sucks to be invisible at times. Ben was beginning to think he was extremely lucky when it came to fighting villains. The first one didn’t even get a chance to fight back, the second flew threw a window, and now this guy gets hit by a car.
Ben: “Alright, now tell me who hired you. Then, I’ll call you an ambulance.”
Ambush: “Fine! Sheila Barron. She hired me, she’s the CEO of Power-Up Pharmacy, look her up. I swear! Just call me an ambulance.”
