I found the May 29, 2009 Refocus Phoenix meet up a good opportunity to try out a rented 24mm tilt-shift lens. The shifting is very simple, but the tilting is more difficult than I thought.
After a few days off. A last push before Christmas. Unlikely to hit my final target weight. But I'm not despondent. It was a big ask. Losing 5 1/2 stone in 12 months, rather than 6, is much more than I imagined I'd lose last January.
This is the actual StroMotion. The actual technology automatically creates images like this from video. Mine was made up of 5 photos that I manually Photoshopped together.
As Darklon tries desperately to ignore the fact that he is being completely inundated with emergency after emergency, Darklon again finds a distraction that allows him a moment to refocus.
Darklon: Wait a second, you're not the Sergeant Major!
The Sergeant Major pauses, confused.
Sergeant Major: I am, sir.
Darklon: No, no no you're not! Nice try, pal! The Sergeant Major wears a monocular! You've clearly got a Binocular around your neck!
The Sergeant Major stops for a moment, searching for Darklon's point.
Sergeant Major: Sir, considering the level of emergency at present, I simply grabbed the wrong item.
Darklon: Huh, yeah right!
Sergeant Major: Darklon, please... you recognize my voice!
Darklon studies the so-called Sergeant Major for a moment.
Darklon: I'm taking a lot of faith here.
The Sergeant Major chooses the moment to return the conversation to the current situation.
Sergeant Major: Sir, maybe we should release the nanomites.
Darklon: What? They would devour the entire Wing!
Sergeant Major: Yes, but they would also cease the spread of the infection immediately. Our Nano-Units can operate within the Wing protected from the nanomites and ensure that all the mutants are terminated.
Darklon: Forget it! Destro would freak! Our job was to maintain the quarantine and that is exactly what we’re gonna do.
Sergeant Major: Darklon, even the Elite said that a breakout is only a matter of time! Maybe we should contact Destro…
Darklon: No way! Those are Joes in there, and the world is already pissed at us for the Cobra Consulate debacle! We’ve got this under control, ok? We let Destro know when I say we do and not one second before, got it?
Sergeant Major: Yes sir.
Darklon: Organize a team of DEMONS and AGP’s to cover the outside of the Burghardt Wing. Shoot to kill.
Sergeant Major: Yes sir!
The Sergeant Major salutes and leaves the strategy room while Darklon watches him sceptically and considers how he could make the so-called Sergeant Major the scapegoat.
