The plant shop I visited with Mum had a trolley of 'free plants' including this rather root bound kale. I took it and one euphorbia (I think) from the trolley. Both flowered beautifully (and I hope to gather seed from both as well).
I was inspired to capture this after seeing Sarah Springer's photo of kale. Their vivid colours are so striking, thanks for the inspiration Sarah :)

It's my goal this weekend to get all my bodies down to one box. And holy fuck, I got me a lot of bodies!
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!

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Resinsoul girl's height is NOT default. She has new knee joints that have increased her height by about a cm.
The stamens on the bottom Lily are mature so the orange pollen is exposed. The top one opened in the morning and you can see the mauve sheath over the pollen.

Comparison of the new Mizi doll body type to an older Mizi doll and a few others.
Kiss in the Shadows Poppy is pulling Poppy attitude, acting outraged that her debut photo was a nude.
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.
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.
Trying to be as objective as I can (with limited capabilities), the images in the collage are as follows:
Top - RAW (As Shot): NEF File Straight from a Nikon D7000 (No Post Production)
Middle - Nikon Camera Raw: Manual Process (No Photoshop Post Production)
Bottom - Lightroom CC: "Auto" (with some minor adjustments) and "Enhance" (No Photoshop Post Production, but scaled down to fit in the comparison collage)
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.

For mini girls comparisons see here (one of the line ups is also featuring Withdoll & MNF boy).
I was taking some comparison photos today and then I figured I'd take a line up of my mini boys since I have Yenna's Shige visiting here.
Nothing special 'cause the light was awful... thus the low saturation. Also because three of these boys are hybrids and the awful light really highlighted the differences in their resin colour, so I wouldn't want that to be distracting.
But yeah, from left to right:

- Minifee A-line normal boy body with a Dream of Doll DOC Tender Too head
I'll put the side and back view into the comments because I don't want to flood my photostream with these. Since they're not the best quality... perhaps sometime I'll ask Yenna to take better line up photos (read: when I have the energy to drag my boys over there, lol).

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!
