A break in the recent turd weather gave me a chance to have a play with the new rgb torch I have made whilst the weathers been so poor. Here with a little dome tool spinning and three badly aligned domes. Also set off a smoke bomb which didn't being much to the party.
I have the upmost repect for all the highly polished shots I look at on here. I find that there is so much to think about and trying to execute the shot I have in my head seems nigh on impossible in the dark. I'm sure in time everything will fall into place and if it doesnt then I'm still having a buzz whilst doing it.
RGB torch is a 10w pool bulb mounted in three interlocking guttering reducers. A momentary switch mounted on the side powered by 8 aa batteries. Ive also fashioned a mount for some bubble rod which is due to arrive soon bodged together from a light fitting and a 15mm stop end. Cheers fastchris and stu8fish for the advice and pointers for its construction.
Nice 1.
Mass effect's Omni Tool/Omni Blade re-imagined as a ring.
Surely one of the stranger ideas that has popped into my head. Wasn't quite sure if it was "good enuff" but the design has grown on me (especially after I got the more subdued steel version).
Made in Stainless Steel via Shapeways then hand painted by me.

I love vintage tools and I wanted to make a series of old tools. I managed to find someone who had a big collection of vintage tools and he was willing to lend them to me to photograph.
Free-lensing into the "bad bokeh" zone while sucking in all the distorted colour from multi-coatings gone wild.

[EN] History of the Ir. D. F. Woudagemaal
The Woudagemaal was built at the end of the steam era. During the 19th and first half of the 20th century large parts of Fryslân were flooded during the winter. To counter flooding in Fryslân, it was decided in 1913 to build a steam pumping station at Lemmer. In 1920, the steam pumping station was opened by Queen Wilhelmina. As the largest working steam pumping station in the world, it still has a practical function in the Frisian water system to this day.
Steam, water and architecture
The pumping station is named after Ir Dirk Frederik Wouda MSc (1880-1961), then Chief Engineer of the Provincial Public Works. He was responsible for the design and implementation of the pumping station in the style of the Rationalism. This style is characterized by the use of ratio and symmetry in the architecture. In the calculation of the mechanical installations, Ir Wouda MSc was assisted by Ir. J.C. Dijxhoorn MSc (1862-1941) of the Technical University of Delft.
Monument on steam
Until the construction of the electric Hoogland pumping station in Stavoren (1966), the steam pumping station was used to control the level of Frisian surface water. The pumping station now only comes into action at extremely high water levels, which occurs twice a year on average.
In addition to emergency pumping stations, this special building is of great importance in other areas. The smokestack with a height sixty meters is a recognizable point (beacon) for skippers on the IJsselmeer. In addition, the building and the steam engines are attractions for architectural or steam enthusiasts.
The architecturally and technically valuable Woudagemaal has been a protected monument since 1977, and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1998.
[NL] Historie van het Ir. D.F. Woudagemaal
Het Woudagemaal is gebouwd in de nadagen van het stoomtijdperk. In de 19e- en eerste helft van de 20e eeuw stonden 's winters grote delen van Fryslân onder water wat veel overlast met zich meebracht. Om dit tegen te gaan werden in 1913 de eerste plannen gemaakt om een stoomgemaal bij Lemmer te bouwen. Dit gemaal moest de sluizen en windmolens bijstaan in het afvoeren van overtollig boezemwater. In 1920 werd het stoomgemaal geopend door Koningin Wilhelmina. Als grootste nog functionerende stoomgemaal ter wereld heeft het, tot op de dag van vandaag, een praktische functie in de Friese waterhuishouding.
Wisselwerking van stoom, water en architectuur
Het gemaal is vernoemd naar Ir. Dirk Frederik Wouda (1880-1961), toen hoofdingenieur van de Provinciale Waterstaat. Hij was verantwoordelijk voor het ontwerp en de uitvoering van het gemaal in de stijl van de Amsterdamse School. Deze stijl kenmerkt zich door gebruik van expressieve en fantastische vormen, welke verwant zijn aan het expressionisme. Met berekenen van werktuigbouwkundige installaties werd Ir. Wouda bijgestaan door Ir. J.C. Dijxhoorn (1862-1941) van de Technische Hogeschool Delft.
Monument op stoom
De eerste jaren werd het stoomgemaal gebruikt de Friese wateren op peil te houden, echter sinds 1966 komt het gemaal alleen nog in actie bij extreem hoge waterstanden. Sinds dat jaar is het elektrische Hooglandgemaal in Stavoren namelijk in werking.
Het Woudagemaal dient gelukkig niet alleen als hulpgemaal. De 60 meter hoge schoorsteen is bijvoorbeeld een herkenbaar baken voor schippers op het IJsselmeer, en daarnaast zijn het gebouw en de stoommachines trekpleisters voor architectuur- en stoomliefhebbers. Het bouwkundig en technisch waardevolle Woudagemaal is sinds 1977 een beschermd monument en staat vanaf 1998 op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO.

I couldn't believe the number of tools and parts sitting in the shops at the East Broad Top. It truly looks like you could start back up with operations there and make the railroad hum back to life again! For now, it remains relegated to being a photographer's dream. With a lot of luck, someday it will see operations again.
