Black Metallic 1/25 scale kit manufactured by Revell in the early 1990s
Recently salvaged from my collection built as a teenager and restored to a more presentable condition
The McLaren Turbo version was the first Grand Prix with wide ribbed side cladding, integrated fender flares and larger exhaust outlets as standard equipment. This became the B4U appearance package that in later years was optional on the SE and standard on the GT and GTP. The rear decklid spoiler is a custom part that was initially an aftermarket option and later a factory option with the integraded CHMSL. The louvered hood was also standard fare for the McLaren, and later on the 3.4L equipped Grand Prixs. The prototype McLaren Turbo had gold cross-lace wheels lifted directly from the Trans Am GTA, while production versions were equipped with a revised design.
A lacrosse ball, and some simple text.
The robot here was a prototype of our open-source egg-bot kit. (Background story at egg-bot.com/)
The red in these is so deep that all the light is just sucked out of the picture if you spot meter. If you overexpose slightly you get an almost ultraviolet sheen on the edges which presumably is what the insects see.
The river I see since I was born.
My friend Robin Scholz made recently a beautiful 360º snowy panorama. Many people seem to be interested in this area so I decided to post some spherical panoramas and point instructions and software to make them.
You may find instructions on how to make your own spheric panoramas here and here.
You can also make panoramas with the free software Microsoft ICE that you may download here.

Image enhancements (SGSSAA) via NVidia Inspector.
This was a prototype that we made in May 2010. It's a "hybrid" model, with the new chassis design, but still a modified version of the pen arm from the "beta" kits.

today I have got something different and interesting :)
it is my first attempt into this kind of photography, Panorama,
have you ever heard of Spherical Panorama, which means taking several shots, making 360/180 degree
have a look to this one here

The colour progresses around the colour wheel in step with the loop that the Travelling Salesman is taking.
The features turned on for this rendering is: color, splines (curves), the line thickness changing with the target image.
At the Studebaker Lighted Fountain. REX All-Purpose Film (expired likely in the 60s) @80; HC110[B]8@68F; shot with Argoflex Forty.
This was one of the intermediate revisions of the pen arm design-- it's been made better since. :)

This Swan was quite entertaining to watch from the bird hide as it tried to snooze right above the weir on the Derwent. It would slowly drift towards the weir on the current, before lifting its head to paddle gracefully back upstream 10 or so yards to safety, where it could return to snoozing. Of course it would begin floating back towards the weir and would have to wake up and paddle away again. I'm not kidding; it did this over, and over, and over, and over again. So many times I nearly fell asleep watching it! Bizarre thing.
Test of the desktop version of my camera program. (My desktop has significantly more power to use for graphics than my cell phone; this is why I can generate videos at close-to real-time.) This is of me drinking tea and staring at my computer's camera. While not inherently interesting, I do look rather odd when rendered as spheres...
a slow day at work (only two fires to put out, heheh). moments later, boss' boss walked in and asked for a recommendation on the choice between two Nikon lenses, knowing fully that i was a Canon guy. when we finished talking, he blamed me for making him spend $500 more than he originally planned. :-)
interactive view is more fun (Shockwave required).

Yes, it's a die. And it works - there's a ball-bearing inside and some grooves to hold it, such that when it stops rolling it ends up with one of the numbers facing up. Unfortunately it has a tendency to roll a long way, for a long time, so it's not that practical.
A single ball for The Rogues.
