San Netto da Urbino, patron saint of the netturbini, known for failing to perform miracles in several Italian cities.
Last night I had a dream that I couldn't find my car. I happened to find a large, round balloon, which then became my mode of transportation. I floated from place to place as I needed and enjoyed the breezes and view from above.
I wanted to illustrate how cool it was in my dream, so I went out, got some balloons, and scouted out a good location. As soon as I found the spot where I wanted to do my photo, it got cold and windy and rainy. I attempted a few shots in these conditions, but none of it was working at all, so I packed it in and went home.
I should clarify: this design may be interesting, but it's not what I wanted and I'd rather move on to another design. My intention was to make a custom frame with flight in mind with inspiration from jed_september and squieu. But it ended up too tall and not really consistent in shaping.
Oh, before someone asks, the weird things stuck on the back are supposed to be flight pods or something like that.
EDIT: WHOOPS LEFT THIS PRIVATE.
Sigh... I had such high hopes for this strawberry-lemon marbled pound cake, but it was not to be. Smells awesome, tastes fine (apparently) but looks hideous.
Leigh and I went to see the Gunnison sage grouse at the Waunita Hot Springs Lek near Gunnison, CO. We drove 350 miles the night before and then got up at 4:50AM to drive to the lek from the town of Gunnison. We arrived at the viewing area about an hour before sunrise as per grouse lek etiquette. Unfortunately, this was the finest photo I managed (it has been brightened in PS - actually it appeard much darker than this to the eye), as moments after this was taken, a golden eagle swooped low over the lek looking for breakfast, and all the grouse few away. I do respect the bird's privacy, and am glad that the land has been preserved for their lek. However, 300 yards is too far away for good photos, and the sun rises behind the birds, so they would be backlit even if I could dial in on them. Maybe in the offseason a WW1 style trench could be built with cammo tarps on top that could give us a closer view and a chance for pics?

They did finally update the image on the article, but this tweet remains to show that Mother Jones does not know what a bee is (and the stock photo is even labeled a wasp!)
Hand-Held Stack Focus, 3 exposures
Not all that great as photo's go, but is probably the first "stack focus" I ever did & it opened my eyes to the possibilities of a new technique. New to me, anyway. I don't do many SF's even now but I've become fairly competent at it and enjoy the results.
Stack focusing isn't magic and won't save a totally bad picture. My SF 1 above is still a little blurry under close examination due to me choosing a pretty slow shutter speed (1/13th sec) for my 3 hand-held shots. I ain't that steady so I moved a little. But there's lots of room for improvement and the technique will reward you if you do everything right.
Here's an example where everything seemed to work just right: www.flickr.com/photos/paddyspig/13951296613/in/photolist-...

Together we created ten potential template designs for our toy prototype. This design is inspired by the aggravation one commonly encounters when accessing Twitter.

The 50x70cm poster "Dr.Fail" is our participation for the SEEAR Exhibition 2013 themed "Superheroes".
The brief was to create a character and visualize him through a poster.
-
The poster exhibits the origins of Dr.Fail through three basic timelines. Two of them are centered around his personal life and events, that inspired him to build machines and weird inventions, most of which failed miserably. The third timeline is focused on his relationship with Megumi, the girl who unwillingly broke his heart and transformed him to a super villain.
-
The idea behind the poster is not to show the character itself, but instead allow the viewer, through an emotional association, to visualize the character based on similar experiences. The color theme and the choise of the data circle, was inspired by the character's japanese origin, which is enhanced by the use of english and japanese languages for the legend and text of the poster.
