Our Daily Challenge 19-25 January: Box
Decorated by my grandmother, and now full of my hippy beads etc from some time ago!
Minha linda Dal Fiori chegou!!! Mas não é uma simples Dal, é um presente muito especial do meu primo Carlos Henrique^^
Ele queria de algum modo fazer parte do meu hobby e me pediu para escolher uma boneca ^^ Daí entre todas que eu gostava, chamei minha mãe para me ajudar a escolher (ela e meu primo tem gostos parecidos) e quando ela viu a Fiori ela ficou encantada e soltou um "aaaaaaawn", coisa que ela NUNCA fez para as minha bonecas, então pensei, já era, é essa mesmo!!!
Vou trabalhar e a noite eu abro ela^^
Minha Dal Fiori vai se chamar Frutilly, igual o picolé dos anos 80/90! Gostinho de infância!
A different version of the box with the same molecule.
Triangle grid based, with 40 division grid. From a 24x24 tant square paper..
I made a necklace as a gift and needed a little box for it, so I made one with the Sizzix Candy Drawer die. Since the box is cut from mat board, it is very sturdy and formed a perfect home for the necklace. First, I adhered a piece of Graphic 45 Kraft Reflections paper to a big enough strip of mat board, using multi-medium. I smeared a bit of Salty Oceans Distress Ink on my craft sheet, misted with water and dragged a piece of watercolour paper through it. When this was dry, I adhered it to another piece of mat board in the same way. Again, when the adhesive was dry, the ‘frame’ of the box was cut from the patterned paper piece, using my Big Shot, and the two drawer parts were cut from the watercolour piece.
Before assembling the box, I stamped the blue parts randomly with a swirl stamp, using Salty Ocean ink, and stamped a sentiment on each side with Archival Ink Coffee.
The flower was made with the 3D Fringed Flower die. The flower comes in three sizes on the die, and I cut two of each size (6 flowers in total) from canvas. To colour them, I smeared Distress Stain on my craft sheet (Broken China, Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap), misted the flowers with water and then dipped them into the ink. I frayed the edges a bit and dried them with my heat gun. They were layered together with a button in the centre. TFL!

I'm loving this cold weather! This is Box Canyon Springs near Wendell, Idaho. I came here to photograph wintering bald eagles, but ended up spending all my time down in the canyon.
Interesting shape box cameras that take 120 roll film.

The box is more of a point of sale piece but part of the crisis direct mail.
The statement has power and gets straight to the point which was intended for the target audience.
Food, A bed and shelter are all human necessities so the idea is to us peoples emotions to help them to reflect on there lives.
Shelter for you and me is a house but if you ar e homeless then all you have for shelter is a box.
The Box is intended to bee left in places where people could walk past and tear away one of the contact strips on the box.
Each year, Gallery Route One in Point Reyes invites over a hundred artists to create unique works of art using a wooden box.
Here are the inspiring artworks they created this year: they range in style from whimsical to poignant and thought-provoking. These photos were taken on closing day, when the gallery organized a live auction for each of this year’s 150 boxes. The proceeds support the gallery’s exhibits and community programs.
Two of the boxes were created by members of our art community: Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) contributed an illuminated box called ‘Magical’, while Geo Monley and Meryl Rubenstein made ‘Les Puzzles.’
Members of ‘Pataphysical Studios came to cheer for their peers -- Dr. Really was the highest bidder for Dr. Rindbrain’s piece, which was thus kept in the family. After the show, we all went to Stellina to celebrate over a nice dinner.

The Story
In the summer I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks on a Route 69 Road Trip in the USA. Part of the trip took us to The Joshua Tree National Park on the edge of which this shot was taken. In the UK we dont hve mail boxes so this was a real novelty to me and my kiddies
The Shot
3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1) from using my D200 and a Nikon 12-24mm lens handheld
Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.
Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.
Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.
The noise reduced with Noiseware .
Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame added.
Music

A view of the signals and signal boxes looking north from Leicester station. It doesn't look like this any more!
Box 40 at Bispham working its final trip of the day to North Pier before heading back to depot. 28th January 2017.

A beautiful thick paper hopefully makes a nice box. Tip of the lid was hard to fold due to thickness.
The paper holds creases really well, which makes the folding a pleasure.
Furthering my experiments with props. A cardboard box, painted matt black, lined with silver foil and the front section cut out and diffused with paper.
I put my 580EX II and 430EX flashes inside the box with me, firing them with a Pocket Wizard plus wireless trigger. I pointed the flashes backwards because I didn't want hot spots on the paper. The camera was fired with a remote.
The shots were hard as I had difficulty seeing what I was doing. When I take the photos properly I'll use someone else as a model.
Thanks to Emil.magnusson for the direction.

Welton Gate Box is situated between Melton Lane and Brough on the Gilberdyke to Hull line.
The gates are normally closed to road users and the signals in the off position. Because of the close proximity of the boxes to one another we see Melton Lane's distant signal sharing the same posts as Welton's home signal. in the opposite direction Brough Easts distant signal is similarly mounted beneath Welton's home peg.
Here the driver gives a wave as 185126 glides by the crossing at 15.19 hrs with 1K16 the 13.41 Manchester Piccadily - Hull Paragon service, seen on Friday 31st July 2015.
Another rest day !!! That's two in two weeks.
I'm very conscious that whilst I have these signalling riches on my doorstep I need to get them visited as soon enough I'll be moving on and they'll be a whole lot trickier to find time to visit. Rest days are few and far between but a concerted effort needs to be made to get out more with the camera.
This one saw a very leisurely start visiting in this order
Hull Paragon
Hessle Road
Welton Gate Box
Melton Lane
Crabley Creek
Five very different boxes
I took a myriad of shots , if and when time allows I'll return with more signalling type shots but for now I have just posted one for each location and all featuring a train.
All visited on Friday 31st July 2015
From square of Kraft paper.
Same as this, rotated 22.5°.
Also a cousin of Lai Chen-Hsiang box.
The compass rose tato which this box is built on had been discovered before by czech folder Hana Šindelářová in 2000 and diagramed by František Grebeníček. Get it on this page (scroll down to ozdoby). Once you've got the tato, add one octagon for the base, one for the top, throw 16 vertical pleats in the mix , done!
Letter box / Pillar box.

ENGLISH
The pits usually comprise of a pit lane which runs parallel to the start/finish straight and is connected at each end to the main track, and a row of garages (usually one per team) outside which the work is done. Pit stop work is carried out by anywhere from five to twenty mechanics (also called a pit crew), depending on the series, while the driver waits in the vehicle (except where a driver change is involved).
In Formula One, cars make pit stops with the primary purpose of refueling and changing tyres, although during the 2005 season tyre changing during the race was prohibited. Teams sometimes also make adjustments to the front and rear wings and perform minor repairs, most commonly replacing the nose and front wing assembly. Pit strategies generally call for between one and three scheduled stops, depending on the course.
When the car is approximately one lap away from making its stop, the team's pit crew will set up fresh tyres and all needed pit equipment. Because of the overhead fuel and pneumatic rig, the team may have all pit mechanics in position prior to the car's arrival, with the exception of the rear jack man.
A pit stop involves about twenty mechanics, with the aim of completing the stop as quickly as possible. It lasts for six to twelve seconds depending on how much fuel is put into the car. However, if there is a problem, such as a fuel pump failing or the engine stalling, or repairs having to be made, it can take much longer. Cars are fuelled at a rate of more than 12 litres per second. This is accomplished by a fairly complex closed system that pumps air out of the car's fuel tank as the fuel is being pumped in.

Los boxes comprenden el "pit lane", o carril de boxes, que corre paralelo a la recta de salida/meta y conectado a ella por los extremos, y una hilera de garajes (normalmente uno por equipo). El trabajo de la parada en boxes, que se lleva a cabo fuera de los garages, lo realiza un equipo de entre 5 y 20 mecánicos dependiendo del tipo de deporte, mientras el piloto espera en el vehículo (excepto cuando hay cambio de piloto).
En Fórmula 1, los coches hacen una parada en boxes con el prpósito principal de recargar combustible y cambiar ruedas, aunque en la temporada 2005 estuvo prohibido el cambio de ruedas. Los equipos a veces hacen ajustes en los alerones delanteros y traseros, así como reparaciones menores, como cambiar el morro. Las estrategias de boxes suelen comprender entre una y tres paradas, dependiendo de la carrera.
Cuando el coche está a una vuelta de la parada, el equipo de boxes prepara ruedas nuevas y todo el equipamiento necesario. Todos los mecánicos están en sus posiciones cuando llega el coche, excepto el encargado del elevador trasero.
Una parada en boxes implica veinte mecánicos, con el objetivo de completar la parada en el mínimo tiempo posible, que son entre seis y doce segundos dependiendo de la cantidad de combustible repostada. Sin embargo, su ocurre un problema como un fallo en la bomba de combustible o una parada de motor, o hay reparaciones adicionales, el tiempo se puede prolongar. Los coches repostan a razón de 12 litros por segundo. Este rápido repostaje se lleva a cabo por un complejo sistema cerrado que bombea aire fuera del depósito a medida que se llena de combustible.
