The world is full of phenomens that normal "behaviorism" or other sciences cannot explain. One of them is a basic question 'Why in the heck have three Panasonics?"

This second/third/... hand market find is my fave in spite of the very small zooming range. The IQ is splendid even in low light conditions!
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10
This one has absolutely the worst IQ of these three; one couldn't believe that it uses Leica glass. Updating the firmware helped by no means. A bad camera is a bad camera even in "good light" conditions.

I'm able to give access to the free pattern! This is the Compact Grocery Tote from Lisa Lam's new book called "A Bag For All Reasons".
Another M1911 pistol! This is the 'commando compact'. It is available in 10mm auto and 45 ACP
A bit rough on some points, but i think it is one of the best 1911 pistols i have ever made. Maybe the best.
Minolta Hi-Matic 7SII with Rokkor 40mm f/1.7 lens (left; circa 1977), Olympus TRIP 35 with Zuiko 40mm f/2.8 lens (right; circa 1971), both 35mm film cameras with mostly automated exposure control and the digital Canon G9-X (2015; back) for size.
Shot with Zeiss Ikon Contaflex IV & Carl Zeiss Tessar 50mm f/2.8 lens at f/11, 1/15sec on Kodak ProImage ISO-100 35mm film.
This angled shot helps us better understand the type of snowflake known as the "capped column" . . . you are looking at two snow crystals connected by an axle (the column) . . . the lower flake is a stellar plate and the upper flake is a clear hexagonal plate . . . in the middle of the upper flake you'll notice a smaller hexagonal outline which is the joint between the upper flake and the columnar axle . . . notice also how the vertices of the upper flake line up in between the spokes of the lower flake . . . this is an attribute of capped columns . . . the two flakes have a 30 degree offset to each other . . . are snowflakes not amazing?
Flake Type: Capped Column, Hexagonal Plate over Stellar plate
Size: App 2mm and 5mm
Device: Canon A1000, LBS, SS1, slight crop
Settings: P Mode, ISO 200, EV -1/3
Background: Metallic Blue Slide

The AMC Pacer is a two-door compact car produced in the United States by American Motors Corporation (AMC) from the 1975 through the 1980 model years. The Pacer was also made in Mexico by Vehículos Automotores Mexicanos (VAM) from 1976 until 1979 and positioned as a premium-priced luxury car.
Design work began in 1971. The rounded shape and large glass area were unusual compared with the three-box designs of the era. The Pacer's width is equal to full-sized domestic vehicles at the time, and this unique design feature was promoted by AMC as "the first wide small car." The Pacer was the first modern, mass-produced, U.S. automobile design using the cab forward concept.
Reviews upon its introduction used descriptions like "futuristic, bold, and unique." The Pacer featured an aerodynamic "jellybean" styling, numerous innovations such as different door lengths, and was noted "as a space-efficient car, seemingly from the future.". The Pacer stood out at a time when "Detroit was still rolling out boat-sized gas guzzlers."
A 1976 AMC Pacer Hatchback was a featured car in the 1992 movie Wayne's World, and again in the 1993 movie Wayne's World 2. The car is called the "mirthmobile" and is integral to the movie references for the culture as Wayne and Garth "are performing the seventies for the nineties." The Pacer used in both movies was painted bright blue with flame decals, with stock steel wheels and wheel covers in the front, and aftermarket chrome-plated steel wheels in the rear.
Although the car appears throughout both movies, it is seen the most in the introductory scene of the first Wayne's World movie.

Definitely the best film compact I have ever owned, and probably one of the best film compacts ever. Got mine from The Camera Workshop at Peninsula Plaza -- once I had it in my hands, it was clear just how well-built it was, and how well maintained it had been by its previous owner. A nice tight package with superb mechanical finishing.
Just got back my first roll of film from the developer, and I'm really impressed by the sharpness, colour rendition and exposure of the pics. The most annoying thing about this camera is the fact that you have to re-set the camera's flash settings every time you switch it on if you want to fire without the flash, but I found the flash really well implemented -- it seems to nail the exposure every time, and practically none of my shots suffered from that hard contrast look that typical on-body flashes give you.
Here is a fairly young rubbish compactor station provided by Veolia to a homemakers shopping centre in Artarmon. The big blue Wastech hook lift container has been there for a while and receives cardboard recycling from a stationary auger compactor. On the other hand, the mini hook portable blade compactor had only just been delivered and installed for mixed waste, which I’m sure consists mostly of plastic packaging. The 1100L on the left was part of a small group of bins awaiting removal after being replaced by the mini packer, they would sit under that pair of grey chutes coming out of the wall. In this photo you also get a look at the independent power system which allows the mini packer to function, sitting just to the left of it. Usually the motor, pump and hydraulics are all integrated into portable packer units, but this mini packer (I guess due to its small size) has the drive system existing externally as a separate system. In most cases the collection worker disconnects a single electrical plug when removing portable units, but in this situation the driver has to disconnect the “packer in place” plug and also unhooks two hydraulic lines, seen sitting just above the red bucket which is there to catch any hydraulic fluid that drips out.
