What has become an annual event that just keeps on keeping on, is the Auto fest Spring car Nats held in Shepparton. Here is a link to the event organisers page, autofest.com.au/.
The event has been going for over 30 years, and for many there is no better way to spend the weekend than with like-minded people, as the entrants burn rubber with an excess of horsepower, that is thankfully quite obscene : )
There was and is everything from the go to woe, handling events, drifting, and of cause burn outs! Burnouts bouncing of the rev limiting, literally hitting the redline burnouts. How much rubber do they burn, enough so I can smell it from my house nearly a mile away : ) PS the smoke signals might be cultural appropriation, so some one should bring along a Pontiac and make it officially ok : P
Jack Danniels www.jackdaniels.com/en-au has a bar, so Tennessee is represented, although in the main part, not much American iron turns up at the event in comparison to the Australian contingent and Japanese cars.
V8s are the flavour, although you might be surprised like I was this year to see a Honda S2000 turn up, a pleasant inclusion, with one of the all-time great 4 bangers in it.
Black snot is a thing, that is if you can handle the close quarters action! You might like to take some year plugs, even then for about mile you will still be able to hear the cars at it.
As a car enthusiast I enjoy the day, friendly people getting their thing on, and having a great time.
PS. Make sure you drink lots of water, and keep hydrated!
The top image was taken at ~10:30PM and the bottom at ~3:30AM with the same camera settings: iso 6400, @ f/2.8, exp 4s, 16mm. The nearly full moon clearly dominates. An amazing difference!

So I decided to do a little comparison between the different minifee bodies before I sand the shoulders on my motion line to be more rounded. I hope this helps you guys to have a better chance of deciding which bodies to get if you are new to minifees or may need to add some more to your crew in the future :)
The busts the girls are wearing are Cutie bust, Large bust and Full bust x2. I do have Small bust and Glamour as well as the fairyline boy bust too but I didn't think they were important for the general body overview. This is also not a pose off, just an overall look ^^

wutwut
Threw a couple extra heads in there -3- (I think I have a problem? orz)
The Witch is most similar to the dragon girl, imo (Malificent anyone?) lol. And The gargoyle definitely has some differences to Rochelle - ear placed conveniently for CAM wigs, eyes smaller and less defined and his skin tone is a touch cooler than Rochelle's. Not sure what I prefer, I really like them both!
(I wiped my Rochelle a while ago, rerooting ruined her first repaint and then I changed my mind about her hair color. Now I'm waiting on her supplies to arrive)
Lately I’ve been editing photos with a big hit of gamma correction, for a grayed-out/antique kind-of look? Not quite sure if I’ll stay with it, but I do think it makes things look more… ☆.~:*aesthetic*:~.☆ ? Anyway, here is a comparison. Gamma correction on the left, edited but no gamma correction on the right.
Earlier I received the new Drax Minifigure by FigFactory and I decided to do a comparison to the official minifigure. Both minifigures are great and overloaded with details. I like the version of FigFactory more than the official version, mainly because the 3D print of the tattoos looks really amazing. If you compare it to the real character it is closer to the original, because the tattoos are very thick and look more raised from Drax's body, so this is really great. Also the dull look in Drax's face is much better captured in the custom version. I also really like the leg details with the knives on either side. The only thing that I like better in the official version are the Lego-like skulls in the tattoo print, because I just love when everything gets minifigureized. :D But you will have to decide what you want to be going for, closer to the original or a more funny print. Overall the custom is fantastic, the digital printing quality is great as usual and the faceprint is very well executed.

one more for today, a special post to help promote my photo blog, a place where I'll be able to upload some of the ones that don't make it to flickr. i want to do things there like film vs digital comparisons, interesting photo links, and feature some of my favorite photographers.
Oh! And in case you have my website bookmarked somewhere, please note this new link and website!

Here’s some comparison photos of the new Curvy MTM body next to some other dolls. She’s shorter than the Collectors Curvy body and is closer to the Fashionista Curvy but her limbs are slightly thicker.
She has almost the same poseability as an Original MTM body but due to her thicker body type it ALMOST does the same things anyway. Her ankles are as floppy as original MTM so bleh.
Surprisingly her wrists are compatible with Original MTM, which means it’s compatible with older jointed Barbie dolls with vinyl arms AND DC Super Hero Girl hands.
Her ankles though are completely different so if you were hoping to give her smaller feet you’ll need to mod the doll a lot.
Her skin tone is ALMOST Tropic Tan/Nikki but it’s slightly too pink and light. Still darker than other Caucasian skin tones though.

Welcome to my second comparison of lenses with a focal length of 35 mm. This time all contenders are more than 50 years old and are equipped with the M42 screw-mount. There are two famous lenses amoung it (Flektogon 2.4/35 and Super-Takumar 3.5/35), two insider tips (Color-Skoparex 2.8/35 and Travegon R 3.5/35) and perhaps a stunner.
Results for the center:
Results for the corner:
Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon MC 2.4/35
Perhaps a Flektogon was the first wide angle lens for SLRs with a retrofocus design, the other suspicious is the Angénieux R1. The first attempt was to put a divergent lens element in front of a well known lens, in that case a Biometar, to obtain a 2.8/35 with a (7/5)-design. In the early seventies the Flektogon was completely redesigned, this time based on a triplet. The new version was cheaper to produce, better and faster, was the first multi-coated lens by CZJ, and it has 6 elements in 6 groups. The lens here has an impressive nearest focus distance of 0.2 m.
Voigländer Color-Skoparex 2.8/35
Made by Rollei in Singapore, belongs to the Voigtländer VSL1 and offers open-aperture-metering with it. It is a (5/5) design by Zeiss and was also available as Distagon with QBM-mount for the Rolleiflex (it is different from the later Distagon for the Contax, which is a (6/6)-design). The Distagon was provided single coated or multi coated (HFT) - I don't know, what the Skoparex is. The lens is from about 1974 and has 6 blades. Another note: the lens has no A/M-switch, but you can close the diaphragm by (carefully!) screw in the tiny set screw next to the aperture pin.
Pentax Auto-Takumar 3.5/35
Clearly the smallest lens of the group. It was produced around 1960. "Auto" means, that the camera automatically closes the aperture via the common pin at the lens mount, but the user has to open it by himself again by pushing the small lever at the f-stop ring, so it is rather "semi-auto". A (5/4)-design with 5 blades.
Pentax Super-Takumar 3.5/35
The same optics like the Auto-Takumar, but in a new outfit: this time with really fully-automatic aperture and with A/M-switch. Usually seen on a Spotmatic.
Enna Lithagon 3.5/35
Certainly the most simple lens in this field. It is based on the 4.5/35 Lithagon, the first retrofocus lens for 35 mm SLRs made in West Germany (1953). The retrofocus effect is achieved by adding a divergent lens element ahead of common lens, so here: the Lithagon has a comparable large front lens element in front of a simple triplet, the result is a (4/4)-design. Also the construction of the lens is simple: full manual aperture setting (even no preset ring) and a rotating front. This combination can by annoying, because you can loose the focus when closing the aperture. 8 blades, the zebra look should be from the late sixties.
A. Schacht Travegon R 3.5/35
Made by a very small manufacturer, but certainly one of the most extravagant lenses of that type which I hold in my hands. The mechanics are extraordinary, the 6 blades sport a ball bearing, the lens has an A/M-switch, a socket for a cable release, and an automatic display for the depth-of-field. The lens was designed by Ludwig Bertele (it's said he designed all lenses of Schacht). As the inventor of the Sonnar Bertele was a master in arranging many lens elements in three groups, so here, the Travegon is a (6/3)-design.
Super Yashinon-R 2.8/35
Perhaps the oldest lens in this field, together with the Auto-Takumar. It was already available for the Yashica Pentaflex around 1960, but then with a bayonet mount. When Yashica switched to the M42 mount with the "J"-series, this lens was carried. It has a preset aperture, 8 blades, a nearest focus distance of 1 m and is a (6/5)-design.
Auto Yashinon DX 2.8/35
The "Auto" indicates an automatic aperture, and there exists also DX-lenses without "Auto" which have a preset aperture then. Contemporary cameras should be the TL and TL Super from the mid-sixties. Those DX lenses were followed by the DS-lenses, rather seen on the TL Elektros. The lens here has an A/M-switch, 6 blades and also an (6/5)-design, and as you can see from the results of this comparison, the design should be very different from the one of the Super Yashinon.

A revamp of Conjurer, a model from the Dark Hunter Contest in 2005; in quite the likeness to the Tracker and his Ice 'Bull-dog' I made two years ago for a BZpower contest.
After narrowing the colour scheme to the one you see, I decided to go for an elegant, pompous and lordly look befitting a 'Dramatic Warrior King Conquerer Genius Magician'.
He does it all, man.
Very, very pleased with how this turned out. All three main colours are of course very limited in variety, so I had to really make good use of what I had.
While breaking down years of old sets and a few new ones for sorting, i wanted to see how the new Charger set stacked up against my old GARC General Lee.
I am fascinated by comparisons and identifying similarities and differences between dolls. Annik Pop of Color on the right in this comparison and the new Annik 'The Awakening' are SO different they almost look like two different sculpts. I am personally really pleased by this because I don't like to have dolls that look too similar in my collection. One small detail I have noticed, thanks to my friend Bran Beckman’s eagle eye, is that Pop of Color has a very different lip screening to Awakening. Her upper lip is not filled in right to the edge of the sculpt but sits below it while Awakening has a fuller upper lip reaching or even going beyond the sculpt line. Awakening's head had to be made from softer vinyl to enable the braids to be rooted and this seems to have softened the contours of her face while POP's contours are more angular. Again, I really love these differences. They definitely look like sisters to me rather than twins. So happy to have them both!
Some people have requested me to make a comparison between the american willys jeep and the german equivalent :-)
P.S I´m sorry for the bad photo, I where out working around the house that I forgot ti take the picture until it was to late, I´m gonna update the photo tomorrow tho ;-)

Hopefully some people find this useful!

So dolls with Pivotal Barbie bodies tend to have massively long legs and tiny tiny torsos but they always end up being taller than any of my other dolls.
Stormer only matches her height due to her big hair but both are still shorter than the Coomodel body so that’s pretty cool I guess lol.
I did end up carving Sweet Tea’s arms so she can finally cross her arms lol.

A professional Ion blaster, compared to the tablescrap mod I made. The added details to the stock SMLE parts really make the prototype one sing. Mine was literally a though I had when I noticed a few extra scoped in the mod parts bin.
I shot this as a comparison between two Irix lenses. The Irix 21mm Dragonfly and the Irix 30mm Dragonfly. I thought about doing the 15mm as well but it was running a timelapse that I didn't want to stop....then the clouds rolled in so....I'll save that for another time. 😉
These images are shot with the same settings, same camera and edited with the exact same settings. I know I could edit them better but I was trying to give just a general idea of the focal length difference and overall look of the images produced by each lens and didn't want to get too involved with anything. Keep in mind neither of these lenses have a lens profile in Lightroom yet either...so they should only get better!
