More on my photo blog, Points of Light
The results:
The winner of the contest is Milan van Steen’s Venomized human torch!!! I love the design of the venomized human torch, the spikey hair for human torch is just clever
Second place is Schwa 77’s Ronin, his entry looks sick!
Third place is Madam web’s ghost rider, I like the colour skim very much.
Congrats to the winner
Lens worth the price but VERY expensive as its the highest price I have ever paid for a used lens. Shopped aound for a while also.

One of the features of the Sk8 Park in Grimsby, Ontario is a group of small billboard-style panels specifically intended to host the artistic expressions of those visiting the site. As a result, graffiti is encouraged in places that are acceptable. Furthermore, periodic cleanup of the panels by town staff ensures regular refreshment of the subject matter. This image was taken in mid-February, the dead of Winter, so the snow-covered park was not in regular use and had not been for several months. The last round of painting had been ignored, likely waiting for Spring to get a refresh, with the consequence being the multiple layers of paint had weathered and flaked off leaving colourful abstracts when viewed up close. This section features and area with yellow and green patches. - JW

I took this with my Fuji, I'm not yet sure which camera gives the best results on the macro or super macro setting.
Inclined to say the Fuji, but I'll keep trying different things. It also gets the Fuji out once in awhile too.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Over a year ago this is the Macy's dressing room, I was trying on the faux leather mini, I had on the boots and top resulting in this monochromatic look. I did buy the skirt,
I noticed that every year I create less and less MOCs. Don't know why, maybe its because I have no ideas or maybe I have no time to build. But I know for sure, that next year will be hard for me, and I doubt that you will see my MOCs at all.
Please, view large HERE !!!

Wolverhampton Stafford Rd at it's most gloomy was not a good place to work. This grainy and gritty shot of Peter's shows the interior at it's worst, disolving into the background is ex-GWR 6014 King Henry VII.
6014 was built in 05/1928, it became an 84A Wolverhampton allocated King 27/03/1954. 6014 was the locomotive chosed to receive "streamling" in 1935, a very half-hearted attempt consisting of a bulbous smokebox added on, straight splashers and nameplate, odd fairings to smooth the cylinders and a wedge-shaped cab roof, all were removed quite quickly except the wedge on the cab which was never removed and can just be made out here. 6014 was withdrawn 09/1962 and scrapped in March 1963.
*The original scan of these 3 Wolverhampton negatives was poor. They are very gainy being over exposed 35mm film but I had gone all out for detail with too much contrast and brightening. The result was highly detailed grain bleached highlights and featureless shadows. This new verrsion is better in so much as it is more atmospheric

Every once in a while I get lucky. My good results equal about 1 % of the time used experimenting =,99%
The end result of my shopping trip. inspired by phase eight but at a fraction of the cost.
I know its not the same sort of outfit that started the ball but it a progression to a final look.
The next few photos I will be asking for some advice as to what look you like the best.
Okay, I received a lot of questions on dying resin so I wanted to make a list of some tips for anyone wanting to try this. I'm no expert but these are some observations I made. Also, check out the dying threads on DOA for additional info.
🔸Make sure to throughly clean all the resin you wish to dye, but don't use anything abrasive. Soap, water, and a soft brush works well. If you have sanded areas on your doll, you'll need to sand all over or the dye will attach more readily to the sanded areas making the dye uneven. 🔸The pot you use should be stainless steal, aluminum, enamel, or glass and you shouldn't use that pot to cook with afterwards. Hit up goodwill if you don't have a pot to ruin. This may sound silly, but test and make sure your pot is big enough to submerge all your pieces.🔸Don't use tongs or anything that could put pressure on the part when dying. Resin softens when heated so you can easily warp your resin if you're not careful. For best results, suspend the piece loosely with a wire. Don't drop it in the vat, touching the bottom of the pot could cause unevenness. Wire, clamps, thick rubber gloves are your friends.
🔸THE DYE SMELLS PRETTY BAD. Wear a mask and eye protection so you're not breathing flippin dye. 🔸A rolling boil is optimal but I used just below boiling so there wasn't as much splashing and steam produced. It took me 3 minutes to achieve the darkest colors. 🔸Keep the temPERATURE EVEN. Get that water going and maintain the boil you want for at least 30 mins. If you start dying when the water boils, the temperature may still be rising causing the following pieces to be darker.
🔸Use a stopwatch and make a test piece. Write down your times. It's important to note that most of the dye will be taken into the resin in your first 30 seconds. In that regard, halving the time will not half the results. 🔸Stir the vat often and keep the piece you're dying in motion. For a gradient, just dip the part but keep in moving in and out. If you'd like the dye in the certain area you can literally paint it on. I used a water color paintbrush, soaked it in the boiling dye, and held it to the areas I wanted dyed. You can see the results in areas like the thumb webbing.
