The figures used in my recent build.
————————————————————————-
H1-K3: A little droid, who was modified to fit the needs of his owner.
Greea Kano: A Jedi Knight, who used to be a teacher in the Jedi Temple, teaching younglings how to handle a Lightsaber and how to use the Force. But when the Clone Wars begon, Greea abandoned his role as a teacher to fight in the wars. Nearing the end of the Clone Wars, he returned to Coruscant to rest out. When he went to a bar with Slyde, Order 66 was executed. Before he could react, one of his only friends turned against him and killed him on the spot.
Commander Slyde: CC-6785, better known as Slyde, was a Clone Commander who served during the Clone Wars. Mostly known for his exellent combat skills, he fought in many battles with the Jedi Greena Kano. However, when Order 66 was executed, Slyde executed his only friend on the spot. After this, he felt great remorse for his actions, but he never fully understood why he felt sad for the death of a traitor of the Republic.
Nyla Madine: A spy for the Republic. Due to her having some inside information over several Seperatist forces, she led many Republic forces to victory. But when Order 66 was executed right in front of her and she saw Clones killing Jedi, she began to question whether or not she was fighting on the good side of the conflict.
Veyyt Rhank: A street vendor, who worked on Coruscant. He owned a small food stand, where he sold all kinds of exotic foods. After he witnessed Order 66 being executed right in front of him, Veyyt lost all trust in the Republic and became a smuggler.
The wooden bridge at my local nature reserve is usually populated with many gulls by late afternoon, causing squabbles and frantic activity. Generally, the gulls will tolerate humans walking up to them to within a safe distance and then they will all depart
Nikon D7000 / f7.1 / 1/1000 sec / Auto ISO 449 at 200mm
This goldfinch visited just long enough for me to snap a couple shots before flying away to look for his next meal or adventure.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

I got my custom order of printed bricks from Brick Sanity today. I'm very pleased.
For clarification - The Hobbit book and Starry Night can be ordered off of Brick Sanity's site and the two Changeling book tiles are custom requests.
In order to find the correct exposure settings for the first roll of film I used a digital camera and found the point at which the highlights weren't quite clipped - or expose to the right as it's generally called. For film with any kind of reasonable exposure latitude this would have been a good idea, as film can (generally) handle more light than a digital camera can. This isn't a great idea for slide film, nor Fantome as I found out, unless you like unrecoverable highlights. Some of that response is due to the lens I was using, which is extreme to say the least in terms of glow, but I'll talk more about that in a future post.
Even though it sounds like I have been completely panning the film in the last two posts, I actually really like some of the results that I managed to get from it. In this image, for example, I think the graphic abstraction of the trees works quite well - they appear to be almost burned into your iris.
Film: Lomography Fantome
Camera: Leica M3 with 50 mm Noctilux f1
Development: Ars-Imago #9 (rodinal) semi-stand
Digitised with a digital camera and contrast adjusted in LR
This is the top section of the 2nd order Fresnel lens in the lantern room of the approximately 1/2 scale replica Seal Island Lighthouse. The lantern room, removed from the original Seal Island Lighthouse in 1978, was installed on the replica tower in Barrington, with the museum opening to the public on Canada Day, 1985.
The Fresnel lens was invented in 1822 by Augustin-Jean Fresnel, and by its design, was able to "supercharge" the light output of lighthouses. These intricately constructed optics are marvels of engineering and really should be seen up close. In the 19th century the light source was often a multi-burner lamp fueled by a variety of oils. Later, acetylene gas was used, and eventually electric illumination became available, with the light being provided by a 1000 watt lamp.
This photo is a copy of an original image taken in 1999 using Kodak Tmax 100 roll film (120) in a Mamiya C33 TLR camera, using a 55mm f4.5 lens. The copy was made using a Nikon D3500 camera with a 55mm Micro-Nikkor lens, with a Nikon 4T close-up lens, and a Sigma 1.6x close-up lens mounted on the 4T.

Some of the choices that I must make in my life . . .
This photo was taken by a Kowa/SIX medium format film camera and KOWA 1:3.5/55mm lens with a Kowa L-1A ø67 filter using Fuji Pro 400-H film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
What a First Order TIE Bomber would look like if it didn't just 100% copy the Imperial model.
Inspired by YouTuber E.C. Henry's original design.
Despite the tangle of branches, there seems to be an order of blossoms and branches as spring arrives.
The Aratech-Loratus light infantry utility vehicle (LIUV), commonly known as the First Order snowspeeder, is a versatile, general purpose vehicle tasked with patrol and transport across the surface of the Starkiller planet. Normally crewed by a pilot and a gunner, the LIUV is similar in nature to speeder trucks used throughout the galaxy, with the addition of a higher capacity generator for its specialised role within the First Order. I plan on maybe selling instructions for this build, what do you guys think of it? This is easily my largest completed MOC at 430 pieces, I've tried to be as accurate as possible. The clip pieces all over the speeder are to hold a railing in place, but flexible hoses are impossible to use on Studio 😥

This wild stallion is posturing after coming over to chase the two mares I was photographing away from me. I was laying on the ground in order to silhouette the horses against the rising sun and was glad the stallion didn't actually step on me.
