70751, Temple of Airjitzu, was one of the most beautiful Lego sets to come out in 2015. Yet I somehow felt it could be gaudier. To that end, my version features cherry blossom and a more upmarket market building. Other than that, I'm happy with how the temple roofs turned out. The technic pins are strung on rigid hoses.
The movie theatre has become motorized and is now showing an action-oriented block buster.
At dusk, a ninja comes out. Can you find her?
I didn't really like the last photo I took of this av, so I decided to do another. This time, at The Bay.

From 29 January - Flame. Here's wishing everyone a very Happy New Year for 2019 and to many more Happy Macro Mondays! Oh, and a bit of Holiday Bokeh from last week's theme for good measure!

Just to show that I'm not a total sap, here's a grungey masculine view of Lake Superior!
Macro Monday: #Erasers (July 16th) and #Monochrome (February 5th)
No, not my favourite theme ("Erasers"), but the one I had skipped. So I thought I'd give it another try for Redux. It actually works as "Monochrome", too. Tempus fugit, so of course no one needs an eraser to change the year, but sometimes such an eraser would come in handy, don't you think? The modern day eraser, with the everyday use of computers, smartphones, tablets and stuff, is STRG/CTRL+Z. Has it ever happened to you that, as a matter of routine, you wanted to press Z to undo something that went wrong with one click - and then remember that you can't undo real life actions that way? Like opening a seam that didn't turn out the way you had planned, or you've dropped a cup and it broke...
HMM, everyone, and I wish you all a wonderful, happy, healthy New Year 2019, with lots of inspiration for and fun with photography! Thank you all for the inspiration through your work, I've again learned a lot about photography, new techniques (also thanks to MMs always encouraging us to leave our comfort zones), new styles, genres... Let's see what 2019 will bring :-)
"Erasers" war nicht mein Lieblingsthema des Jahres 2018, sondern das, das ich habe ausfallen lassen. Also auf ein Neues, passend zum Jahreswechsel ;-) Da die Zeit bekanntlich niemals stillsteht, Tempus fugit, braucht man natürlich keinen Radiergummi, um den Jahreswechsel möglich zu machen. Trotzdem wäre so ein Radierer manchmal ganz praktisch, oder? Der moderne Radierer, in Zeiten von Computern, Smartphones, Tablets & Co. als ständigen Begleitern, ist oftmals STRG/CTRL+Z, jdf. im digitalen Leben. Ist es Euch im "richtigen" Leben auch schon mal passiert, dass Ihr automatisch "Z" drücken wolltet, um eine missglückte Aktion rückgängig zu machen? Z.B. eine Naht wieder aufzutrennen, eine runtergefallene Tasse wieder in den ursprünglichen Zustrand zu versetzen - alles nur mit einem Klick -, um sich dann sofort daran zu erinnern, dass das gerade nicht im virtuellen Raum passiert ist...
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Rutsch und ein wunderbares, glückliches, gesundes neues Jahr 2019, mit ganz viel Spaß an der und Inspiration für die Fotografie! Ein dickes Dankeschön auch an Euch für die Inspiration durch Eure Fotos, ich habe wieder viel gelernt, Neues ausprobiert, meinen fotografischen Horizont erweitert... ich bin schon auf 2019 gespannt :-)

This is an old image from 2010 that I've re-processed into a duotone for an art project I'm working on. I like the look!

Posed street portrait taken in Glasgow, Scotland, for my 100 Strangers project.
This is a shot from the series taken that has not previously been used and following an update to LR5 I decided to revisit a few shots and process them with the new software, opting in this instance to process in black and white. I really need to get back into my 100 Strangers project as soon as I am physically able to, though as always I find it far less daunting to shoot candidly, even with my 'ballsy' style of candid street shooting.

Quick turnaround on some of these guys! From right to left (in order to keep the surprise I guess):
Rocket Red: With a new headpiece! Definitely an improvement.
Alan Scott: Not New 52!
The Atom: Slightly different, with a new head, and the overmolded legs.
Red Hood: And finally, a really old update! Or I mean an update of a really old thing. Something like that. New legs, head, and hood. Hood/head combo by LordAllo.
I recently inadvertently deleted many photos from my photostream. I've been trying to retrieve as many of them as I could - it hasn't been easy... Like this one, I've marked the 'deleted' photos as 'redux'. I lost all of the information that goes with a photo, including the faves and comments I received. I'm merely putting them back in my photostream so they are not lost forever. I've turned off the comments for each of them.
Macro Mondays - Redux 2019
I chose to redo the theme for January 21, Pick Two (Iridescent & Abstract). My wife and I went to a Christmas eve church service this past week. Instead of candles during the service, we had glow sticks. Our glow sticks happened to be in the Flickr colors, so I knew I should use them for the Macro Mondays theme somehow. I was tired after the service and almost didn't take the time to get some pictures of the glow sticks, but my wife encouraged me. I then spent the next nearly an hour bent over, shooting long exposure shots of the glow sticks, while moving them around. I think this is my first light painting experience. I will likely post some of the other shots in the future. HMM
The original is here. Personally I prefer the revised processing.

With a MM theme of "circles" how could I not make a squared circle? (I wish more people would!)
This is the underside of one of the two ball-point pen toppers that I photographed last week. I held it in a small quick-grip bar clamp to prop it up at the angle I wanted.
I can't explain the purple tint. It did not appear in all of my attempts; some had a greenish tint instead. The greenish tint seemed more noticeable in a few shots where I missed the focal distance by a little bit, so that the part I got in focus here ended up blurry (very shallow DOF). There was nothing purple or green in my setup or surroundings.
Possible contributing factors that I can think of:
- white balance (which I had on automatic) wavering right on the line between a couple of settings
- shiny chrome surface material
- bright, direct sunlight through apartment window
- UV filter on my lens
If I had some spare time maybe I'd try some experiments. But I don't.
A 16:9 format re-posting of a shot from April of 2013. Looking back this was probably not the smartest thing to do. The train passed my shooting location 11 seconds after this shot was taken. A highly confined spot. Here we have a EB CNRR Freeport sub unit ethanol train sliding under the Union Pacific Geneva Sub in Villa Park, IL
This is probably as close an approximation to "classic" railroading as I can see around here.
A 3 man crew on the Mayville local bangs across the switch at Portland Junction. They have spent much of the day shuffling cars at Northwood and Hatton, and will soon tie up for the day in Mayville. Then they will have an early start the next morning so they can clear the way for a shuttle train bound for Mayville. While it seems like a relaxed pace, listening on the scanner it becomes obvious that there are all kinds of obstacles to getting the job done safely. Cars need to be moved and re-spotted, and sometimes the crew needs to work together to get a stuck drawbar re-centered. The 25 mph speed makes for an easy chase, and I always look forward to them getting to Portland Junction, with the old unused elevator as a nice photo backdrop.
As you can tell, I have not been out taking pictures the past week or so. This is another re-work of an older photo. I took this in February during our only accumulating snowfall of last winter. This snow was gone within a couple hours. I was glad I got up early and got this shot before it all melted.
These little vintage reindeer are part of a Holiday village I set up for the grandkids this year. In this forest the deer have admirable spiky antlers, don't you think. Happy Holidays and good health.

It is hard to choose a favorite theme so I combined a few in one photo.
February 12: In a Bottle
April 9: Circles
May 7: Jagged
May 14: Low Key
September 17: Cogwheel
Quite probably my favourite mountain in Iceland, Hafursfell (697m) dominates Route 54 when driving east (or west) on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland.
I've read it's called 'The Blessed Hands' somewhere and I'd love to see it in snow. There are no less than five glacial cirques around the mountain and the many successive layers of basalt, tuff and Rhyolite really do highlight the volcanic, geological history of the Ísland.

A practically prehistoric alpha.tribe costume called Aqva also got a major facelift for the Freakshow Carnivale event organized by Scala SL. Kickoff is on October 28th...
I'm trying hard at the moment to improve my post-processing skills. As such, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to go back through my photostream, pull out some old images that I like, but was never happy with, and see if I can improve on them. All the "before" and "after" shots from this exercise - including this one - are posted in the "Image, Redux" gallery on my photostream page.
This one is a shot of Bodiam Castle in East Sussex. The weather was pretty typical - fast moving clouds and light rain followed by brief bursts of intense sun... not too much fun to be out in, but at least it made for some interesting light!
On this second processing pass I tried to remove some of the OTT HDR processing from the first time, increase the emphasis on the castle itself, and cool the image off a bit.
Tonemapped in Photomatix and re-blended with the original -2, 0, and +2EV images in PSE.
