For those of you following along, my third Lego-brick instructional book - 'How to Build Brick TV and Movie Cars' is almost here.
The book, which covers 14 builds from TV and film is available for pre-order on Amazon and other platforms now.
The easiest way to find the book is by the ISBN
ISBN-10: 0760365881
ISBN-13: 978-0760365885
One of the 1:28 scale models from the book is the (fake) Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona featured in the early seasons of 'Miami Vice'. This car was replaced by the Ferrari Testarossa provided by Ferrari North America.
I have also modeled the Testarossa in matching 1:28-scale, as shown here.
As a bonus to those who pre-order the full book, my publisher (Motorbooks) will provide you with an additional pdf chapter to build the companion Testarossa.
If you'd like to take up this offer, please send an email with their pre-order information (a confirmation number or a screenshot of the purchase page, etc. to this email address: BuildBrickCars@Quarto.com will get the bonus plan.
It's a great little model, and I encourage those interested in taking up this special offer.
How hard is it really to take your rubbish with you? I contemplated taking the bottle out, but then i though no this is how it is and this is how it will be shown :) This was taken at Saunder Beach on the road down to the boat ramp. You can check out the map or geotaggy thingy lol if you are interested to know where, I am not sure if there is always water here or if it is a result of recent rain.
I have to have a laugh some days because when I type I cannot keep up with the thoughts in my mind...( don't go there) so sometimes I just hit the right click on the underlined misspelt words to make it quicker.... and sometimes the choices that come up are crackers. I mean one of my contacts asked me the other day did I really mean " Nice Shit..." on their comment lol .......omg it was shot HA HA It is often not good if you change a vowel lol Some of the others I have see have been way worse, luckily I haven't posted them... but the suggestions make me laugh.... and if I did post them I think Flickr would ban me :)
And we can't have THAT lol
Well it is Monday and a holiday, Australia Day, but more on that with DeGlass shot later.... Happy Tomorrow's, yesterday's today ;) Car

I had to follow an online tutorial to learn how to make a librarian villager in minecraft.
Minecraft librarians are a specific type of villager who, surprisingly, deal with books and other book-related items. Librarians are one of the best places to find rare enchanted books, so having them around can be quite handy.
Minecraft is a 3D survival sandbox game developed and published by Mojang. The game has no specific goals to accomplish, allowing players a large amount of freedom in choosing how to play the game. Players must acquire resources to build the world. The game world is composed of voxels—cubes, commonly called "blocks"—representing various materials, such as dirt, stone, ores, tree trunks, water, and lava, which are arranged in a 3-dimensional grid. Gameplay revolves around picking up and placing these objects as the player pleases, while being able to move freely around the world.

You've gotta see it LARGE on black!
Captured with a Canon EOS 30D and a Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens.
Location: Tanner Bridge Road, Jefferson City, Missouri
This was a planned HDR scene I captured about a year ago. I've been spending a lot of time with Photoshop CS4 and ACR 5 lately and thought about re-working this piece and I'm glad I did. I have a tutorial about how I created the original HDR image here; however, after using my new process, I need to update the steps.
In short, I used to simply load my Canon 30D RAW files directly into Photomatix, tone map, then save as 16bit tiff. Then load the 16bit tiff into Photoshop to do further enhancing such as noise removal.
Now I process each RAW in ACR 5, apply Noiseware Pro NR and save each frame as a 16bit tiff, then I open each tiff with Photomatix, merge, tone map, save again as 16bit tiff, open in Photoshop, apply default Noiseware Pro NR, USM (radius 1.1, amt: 40%), then save as 8bit jpg, which is what you see above. This rendition is far better than my first version (much cleaner, sharper, and the tonal depth is better too).
Vus'musi was the first offspring from a herd of Elephants in Africa that was saved from culling, mass killing, due to species overpopulation in the game preserve, and the impact of their natural, but destructive nature. Baby elephant "Impunga" seen sitting here on his big brother, was the third offspring from the saved Elephants, Khosi was the second elephant born. Recently a 4th baby elephant has joined this growing family at the San Diego Wild Animal Park preserve.
The swimming pool was being prepared for the African elephants and Impunga wanted to make sure Vus'musi joined in on the fun.
With temperatures in the upper 20s the water does look a little tempting for this dog on the narrowboat 'Kite'. Meanwhile the owner takes a refreshing sip from the glass! Govilion Wharf on the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I think this is one of the greatest poems of all time. My favorite part is this: “I love thee to the level of everyday’s most quiet need by sun and candle light”. While it has multiple meanings, for me it makes me feel humble to love and be loved as I am blessed to be. It is not so much about the grand gestures, though we have those moments too. Thinking of this poem again after some time, and still knowing it "by heart", I realize the romantic soul that I am.
I love this shot! After much ado (including poetry), that is the point! I say this with all due modesty, but this shot sincerely scratches a place in my heart and mind, and I would dearly love to hear if it touches you in some way and why.

Sometimes I say, how in the world did I get so old with so many wrinkles. Then I think, I've earned every one of them.
This one looks great big. I just love it when the insects and dust are captured in the sunlight like this. It creates such a magical look.
"Contre Jour" has quickly become my favourite style for shooting couples.

"The hilarious do-it-yourself way to lose those wedding-band blues."
I got a Gitzo 3541L replacement tripod to replace my the failed cheapy yet not so cheapy tripod.
So expensive.. :(
Anyhoo. It's my D60 with a 10.5mm AF NIKKOR Fisheye f/2.8 attached sitting on the top side of the tripod in the lowest position.
I love how I can mount the camera upside down between the legs or raise it up higher than the predecessor.
Since i generally lug it around a lot, the huge weight difference is very noticeable!
The carbon fiber is great for the winter time, it doesn't get frozen cold in the winter and freeze my hand if I have to hold it!
I also got a Manfrotto head (not pictured here) to go with it because I have a BlackRapid strap for my D7000 and the quick release plate only works with the Manfrotto apparently

Public speaking is the #1 fear of Americans, even higher than death. Public speaking ranks as a top fear amongst most people. It's usually right behind "getting eaten by a shark" or "falling off a skyscraper". But, actually, it is an art which can be cultivated by learning necessary skills.

How much more work can I do today?.. a very nice and bright day while watching people enjoying the sun and children running around the water fountain...?
Really...!
It's a hard thing, really, when you can't walk much or far and end up in a power chair or wheel chair - or - like my friend, if you have a stroke and end up in a chair - because that's when you get bigger and bigger and bigger. When the joints go - so does the figure! There is a lot of that around here - and I am fighting it myself, now, as best I can.
Another macro image from the pop-up book by Ron Van Der Meer, "How Many". These stars in the paper sculpture come forward and up out of the book with many layers and translucent film to support some of them. The artist/author planned the work so that it looks great from forwards and from backwards! See the other images in the same set "Color Magic" for more pages of this book.
I am no expert, but this is what I know. Critiques of this are very welcome!
What is panning? It is a technique that is used to capture moving objects. One popular object to pan are cars, but you can also apply this technique to other moving objects like bikers, joggers, dogs etc. A good shot of a object in motion has the two following characteristics: (1) the object is sharp and (2) the rest is blurry. (1) and (2) give the picture a sense of motion.
The picture is a good pan of a blue Mazda6. How do I know it is a good pan? First, the car is sharp. If you look at this picture in original size you will see that the car is very sharp; you can even see that the driver has a small earring (at least he has good car taste). Second, the background is pretty blurry. Look at the trees behind the car - all one nice blur. Third, look at the wheels. Since the wheels move differently than the car, they are in motion. If you blow up the picture again you will notice that the middle of the wheel is almost still. In fact, you can almost see the small Mazda logo that is there.
For another example of a good pan look below at this pan of a Ford Tempo (one of my best pans had to be this old car!).

How's that for shallow depth of field. I like this pic for a couple of reasons.
One, it is a very good example of what a shallow depth of field looks like. And two, it is easy to see that depth of field is planar, as the focus area appears to warp around the round rock.
