These tiny leaves are sort of peculiar. I don't know if the plant is dehydrated or if it's just a part of the physiology of the plant, but the stem of the leaf looks rather flat, doesn't it? Plants are such bizarre creatures in the first place when you compare them to animals.
Almost exclusively do they not rely on other animals for direct nutrition. Almost all of them are rooted in one way or another to a substrate. Their gross anatomy is so unlike ours.
Then again. Earth teems with plants. Maybe we're the odd ones.

The little CV Skopar is a fantastic lens. Yesterday in London I shot almost the entire day using my CV Skopar 35f2.5 ii and when the light levels were too low, my CV Nikoton 40f1.4. Both lenses are tiny yet mighty and once my M2 arrives I with have a super compact Leica camera bag for travel setup for both film and digital
strobist info : 2 speelihgt behind the model, left n right for side light. 1 speedlight on my back upper right(with umbrella octagon softbox). and 1 more speedlight with square softbox on my below left.
This is a time lapse video of the Milky Way rising over Australia Telescope Compact Array (near Narrabri, NSW) when the site is open to the public. Please enlarge before viewing. The 10 second video was compiled from 306 30 second exposures captured over nearly 4 hours at f/4, ISO 6400.
As a video, it's a complete failure. There are too many vehicle headlights and taillights, head torches, light painting, more light painting, and lens fogging. I've already removed the worst frames and tried to minimise flashing in other frames. It's not worth trying to do more.
But the video does reveal some possibly interesting phenomena. For the first half, you can see the dishes tracking so they remain fixed on the same target in the sky. I didn't notice them doing that at the time. The dishes move in unison, because you get more information from multiple, distributed dishes than from a single dish. Afterwards, you see the dishes move to track a second target, and then a third target.

The city of Cannes is centered around the old port (*Vieux Port), with the central part quite compact. The famous "Croisette" is the boulevard and the beach that extends around the bay to the east of the port, in the protected "Rade de Cannes". This is Quai St-Pierre, the oldest side of the port - inaugurated in 1838 - with the most beautiful row of houses and the 'smallest' yachts.

It started with the LC-A, that I got in a 2nd hand shop in Budapest 2 years ago, I took it to test it the next days on my way by train across Bulgaria/Romania to Istambul, and I finally figured out that P&S were the way to travel without worries. always ready, and in a simple pocket. SET
Eventually the lc-a fell and so I could try to fix the frame counter it had to get a new dress.
Also, missing some shots because of the zone focus it was not ideal, so I started looking for some cheep AF ones, and they had to be as pocketable as the lc-a, on that area the mju II is the winner.
I don't think this collection will grow much more, unless I stumble upon some expensive models or so, for very cheap (ricohs gr, minolta TC-1 etc...) I'm happy with these ones for now, let's see what comes next.
(1 week after)
I just came back from the fleamarket with some more P&S cameras, Mju I (another),
Ricoh FF70(it's a DOA after all), Fuji HD-M, Konica EU-min and a Porst 135AE

Compact. Sleek. Fast. The enemy wouldn't expect it. They can only grunt, "WTF?!?!"
The Wryneck Tactical Fighter a.k.a. W.T.F. is designed primarily to escort and defend battleships but on occasion used to intrude and clean out hostile environments.
Armed with twin pulse ion guns on each side and the Ferro-Inductive Non-Glitchy Electromagnetic Reciprocating Cannon underneath, the W.T.F. has ample firepower to cause considerable damage in a single swoop.
It's thrusters are pulled in closer to the hull to reduce drag as well as to increase speed. Each thruster is powered by a Hornive Milfium Reactor.

I was given a box of old compact digital cameras to see if I could resuscitate any of them. This one is awaiting a battery and further testing. Kodak made a ba-jillion types of early digital cameras. They tried everything to satisfy a fickle marketplace. What they DID succeed in doing (at least for this guy) was to make wonderfully colorful cameras. We could use more of that these days. Lots more. IMHO.
A very basic Compact. Top spotting points if you see one of these now.

From where I sit at this moment, Orkney seems so remote. It's easy to forget that it sits just off John o' Groats and was a bit of Scotland nibbled away and submerged at the end of the Last Glacial Period. Prior to that, the lowered sea levels left Doggerland high and dry — a convenient stepping stone for humans to repopulate Britain from the rest of Europe. Yes, I've been to the very north of the archipelago, to North Ronaldsay. Today I'm away to South Ronaldsay — ironically juxtaposed at opposite ends from its northern namesake. This won't take me to Orkney's most southerly isle, Stroma, which to be honest has less water between it and Scotland that it has between itself and the rest of Orkney.
Here's a reminder of how compact these islands are. This is the northern tip of Glimps Holm looking back across Lamb Holm to Mainland. By now I've crossed two of the causeways constructed as navigation barriers in WWII. There are what appears to be military installations, there on the cliffs of Lamb Holm. In the middleground lie relics of the block ships sunk here early in WWI. I think this was the SS Numidian, an almost 5000 ton steel hulled steamer scuttled here on 30 December 1914. She was sunk in the company of SS Aorangi, SS Thames and SS Minieh with, I think, Numidian in the shallow water near this spot. I could be wrong. If you need a better answer there's a kind of trainspotters' guide to the wrecks of Scapa Flow.
Orkney is so user-friendly. It's a small place, compact, packed to the gunwales with history; so much that with sea level rise its, Plimsoll line is in peril of disappearing beneath the waves. Getting about is quick and easy; all that and it has a village named Twatt.

The news of the passing of the Dutch engineer who invented the audio Compact Cassette, Lou Ottens, got me to thinking how useful and handy these were back in the day and efficient - even a provision to prevent accidental ereasure. The quality of the audio wasn't up there with reel-to-reel, but they paved they way for portable music. Even after portable compact disc (which Mr. Ottens was involved in the development of) players came out, portable cassette players were the best way to go - easier to fit into a pocket and slower battery drain - though it took many years to get the player down to the size of the cassette itself. Until at least MP3 players came out, which like everything else digital revolutionized everything.
My first pass at the building was only three stories, then I added an additional three. If I had to fit the building in a more compact space or if looked out of place in a layout, I could go back to three.

Compact is a neat little studs up font. Basic, but gets the job done. Perfect for signing mosaics.

Mercado Municipal y Polideportivo Barceló y Biblioteca Pública Municipal Mario Vargas Llosa
Calle Barceló 4-6, c/v a Mejía Lequerica 9 y a Beneficencia 7-9 Madrid,
Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos: Fuensanta Nieto y Enrique Sobejano. Proyecto Concurso: 2007. Arquitecto de proyecto: Alfredo Baladrón, Alexandra Sobral. Coordinación de proyecto: Patricia Grande. 2008
Dirección de obra: Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos. Construcción: 2009–14
La intervención realizada sobre el área del Mercado Barceló comprende espacios públicos, edificios e instalaciones temporales que forman parte de un mismo conjunto. Los autores comentan acerca del proyecto:
Su denominación múltiple -mercado/polideportivo/biblioteca- anuncia ya un protagonismo colectivo y revela la condición social del programa: un mercado compacto sobre el que se eleva un pabellón deportivo enmarcando la ciudad y frente al que se ubica una biblioteca volada por encima del patio de un colegio. Se asume así la coexistencia de tres concepciones simultáneas (contenedor, marco, puente) que responden a distintas variantes estructurales (pórtico, voladizo, viga) y generan a su vez diferentes espacios cívicos alrededor: una calle cubierta, una plaza longitudinal, una terraza elevada. En esta matriz combinatoria, equilibrio de necesidades funcionales, sistemas estructurales y espacios urbanos, radica la condición densa e híbrida que caracteriza la actuación. En el límite entre el centro antiguo de Madrid y su posterior ensanche, rodeado de edificaciones históricas y construcciones contemporáneas, calles estrechas, plazas y ensanchamientos, el mercado -cuyo interior no se ha construido respetando el proyecto original de los autores- se expresa como un cuerpo autónomo, situado en la confluencia de las calles Mejía Lequerica y Beneficencia a las que se abre en sus distintas fachadas. Separado por una estrecha una calle-galería interior de acusada proporción vertical, el pabellón polideportivo se asoma en voladizo por encima del mercado, cuya cubierta es en realidad una gran terraza pública elevada desde la que se divisan los tejados de Madrid. La biblioteca, situada al otro lado de una nueva plaza longitudinal, sobrevuela el patio del colegio al que se adosa para formar un conjunto relacionado formalmente con los otros edificios. La definición geométrica y la expresión material de sus cerramientos anuncian que -pese a sus diferentes usos- las nuevas edificaciones pertenecen a un mismo tiempo y lugar. Una piel formada por piezas de vidrio moldeado de grandes dimensiones -blanco y opalino- unifica su apariencia exterior transmitiendo ligereza y unidad al conjunto.
Mercado: El eje del nuevo mercado es una elevada galería cubierta de gran de altura, donde esbeltas escaleras mecánicas suben y bajan hacia la terraza y los comercios de las plantas superiores, invitando a los paseantes a atravesar el edificio desde la calle Mejía Lequerica hacia la nueva plaza posterior. Grandes paños de vidrio dejan ver los puestos de mercado que se disponen en bandas paralelas de amplias calles interiores. Tanto si se entra al mercado desde la calle como si se hace desde la plaza, un vacío vertical hace percibir al usuario la dimensión espacial en las tres plantas que abarca el local. Un conjunto de escaleras paralelas a la galería conecta los diferentes niveles, mientras que un núcleo compacto de montacargas, ascensores y aseos comunica las plantas en toda su altura, incluso hasta los sótanos de almacenes, carga/descarga y aparcamiento. El cerramiento exterior está formado por piezas lineales de vidrio moldeado blanco en U, de 50 cm de anchura, formando una piel continua opalina que envuelve todos los edificios del conjunto.
Polideportivo: El nuevo polideportivo está situado sobre los tejados de Madrid. La cubierta del mercado es en realidad una gran plaza de 1500 m2 en la que los niños juegan, los jóvenes hacen deporte, los mayores toman el sol, o simplemente se asoman a observar el perfil de la ciudad. Un núcleo de comunicación independiente y una larga rampa mecánica han permitido llegar directamente a este nivel, donde también se ubican vestuarios, aseos, control y acceso a la zona deportiva. Los escolares del colegio vecino acceden directamente desde el patio de la escuela por medio de una conexión subterránea. Un café acristalado queda bajo una gran losa sobre la que se sitúa el pabellón cubierto. El núcleo de comunicaciones llega hasta el último nivel dividiendo el espacio en dos áreas: las salas de gimnasia hacia la calle Barceló y el pabellón polideportivo propiamente dicho, abierto a través de un gigantesco ventanal de 32 metros de longitud hacia las azoteas de la ciudad.
Biblioteca: La biblioteca configura en su volumen lineal una nueva manzana con el colegio existente al que complementa. Concebida como un edificio-puente, libera el espacio inferior para ampliar el patio de juegos del colegio, apoyándose en dos cuerpos que albergan los núcleos de comunicación, acceso y servicios. De este modo, las dos plantas superiores longitudinales permiten la ubicación de los espacios de lectura y reunión del programa, con distintas configuraciones posibles. Comparte materiales de cerramiento con el mercado y polideportivo, admitiendo de este modo la presencia de una luz natural tamizada en las áreas interiores de lectura.

This 1 3/8 inch figure is the DC Comics character The Flash as seen in the game HeroClix. The red and yellow streaks behind him are actually tissue paper.
I believe this is the first toy photo I've posted to Flickr that was lit by my camera's flash. I typically use lamps, flashlights, LEDs, etc.
This image is straight out of the camera: no tweaking, no color processing, no cropping, no nothing.
