I only had a few minutes before Cindy was going to pick me up for our night out. Luckily, the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles was only 5 minutes away. My time here was WAY too short so I'll definitely be back.
I very badly wanted to fly on one of these, unfortunately an eye issue derailed my plans to become an astronaut. Now, I just work 'in space' from the ground. But before I leave this world I will buy a ticket to leave this world! Here's to driving down the cost!
You can't see the man's face, but I can see the machine's face staring at me in the foreground. Shot at Stave Falls Power Plant.
The 1/6-scale character of Cloë started out with the stage name Khloë K. Koffiny as a drummer for Yasmin, Sasha, and Jade's garage band, "Vagabonds' House." But this head sculpt and the bodies I was pairing it with didn't really work for me, and the looks of the character didn't mesh well with Yas and the gang.
The head sculpt has bounced around among a number of incarnations. Recently I ended up with an "extra" Jiaou 10E body, which I purchased for another project but, duhhh..., I purchased the wrong color.
I tried pairing the misfit body with mistfit Cloë's head and it worked. Well, it worked in an over-the-top (and over-developed) kitschy-cartoonish sort of way.
I didn't really need another "adventure girl" figure, but here she is -- Machine-Gun Cloë!
Cloë is much happier as a stand-alone character -- who totes a Tommy-gun -- than she was as a background member of a girl band.
Head: SuperDuck SDH-019B
Body: Jiaou 10E WS "white skin"

On the local farm in Shireoaks for a demomstration of old time farming. Traditionally these machines would travel from farn to farm in the late autumn and winter threshing the grain crops.
This photograph is the second in a series I'm doing of laundromats in Southern California. There's something about them that I find pleasing. The stark colors, harsh lighting and the sort of sad, desperate vibe they seem to exude. Kinda like a halfway house for clothes that are being rehabilitated for release back into society.
"Tamping machine, Barretstown, Co. Kilkenny"
Granted it required a Google search to find even the basics of what a "tamper" does, but am still none-the-wiser as to the purpose of the device that seems to be preceding the engine down the track. Any ideas? And, if our usual "shadow" experts can identify a time of day, perhaps we can establish if that worker's off home for lunch - or his tea...
We are going with Niall McAuley on this one, he suggests Barretstown, Co.Kildare (just outside Newbridge) this suggestion is backed fully by Dr O Mac .
Dr Owen also tells us that the machine is an early 1960's Plasser & Theurer VKR 05-E tamper DX74108. Apparently the tamping tines should vibrate with the ideal frequency of exactly 35 Hz. This directional, linear vibration combined with the non-synchronous tine movement produces a homogeneously compacted ballast bed.

Abandoned Scotland Online
A big machine, possible some kind of dryer, inside the abandoned underground gunpowder factory.
When WW2 started in 1939, Sweden suddenly needed a lot more ammunition than they could produces at AB Bofors. The military build several factories on secret locations. At this location they produced gunpowder from 1940 to 1945. The factory was available for production until 1973 when it was abandoned and left to decay.

Well, why not shoot objects from time to time--it is fun, to try to make them look good!
These photos were shot at our University (www.h-ab.de) at the lab of Prof. Volpe, for a publication about PCB prototyping.

STROBIST
Two speedlites, manually adjusted, one on the left side shooting through a diffusor, on on the right side, with a blue gel, shooting against a silver reflector (actually: it was the cover of the diffusor, taped to the wall). The speedlites were triggered via YN-602 RF transmitters. Still my favorite work horses. :-)

PHOTOSHOP
Not that much, the usual cloning and stuff.
For the right one I stacked two shots to get the drill and also the logo sharp.
Why not close the aperture for that purpose?
Because that would need too much flash power and furthermore the lens would be not that sharp anymore (not on the "critical aperture" setting).
Why not zoom out?
Yes, that would give me the DOF I wanted, but the perspective would change (cropping would have been ok, there's plenty of resolution left). I tried that and I did not like the wide-angle perspective.
So I just did two shots with varied focus and aligned these in Photoshop (btw.: Photoshop did a good job regarding the aligment and a bad job regarding the merging, so I did the merging my hand).

First sketches and models for the Time Machine, a new interactive art project created by Pataphysical Studios.
In this brainstorm session, each team member sketched out their own ideas, then discussed them with the group, to design our upcoming time travel experience together.
Next, we plan to create a composite design with some of these ideas, to integrate them into a single blueprint.
To be continued ...

Lovely old pattern stamping machines for use on textile looms - incredibly rare to see and lovely little pieces of engineering.
