My energy drink can collection is now up to five and growing. Where this is going nobody knows. I can now say this is part of the energy drink series.
Each can was shot individually with my Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro with about a 6-10 image focus stack. They do seem to have a lot of potential for art. Five cans, a rectangular to polar coordinate conversion, a wavy window and yummy colors make this slider complete!

VPI Avenger Plus - a turntable of vinyl discs with manual control. VPI Avenger Plus has significant upgrades compared to the standard Avenger. Using the technical advances of the Titan top model, VPI engineers added the Harry Weisfeld's Signature Rim Drive, an analog drive system (ADS) to provide extreme engine speed accuracy and convenient speed switching, an improved JMW tonearm 12-3DR with Nordost Reference wiring, as well as a peripheral clamping ring for correcting geometrical defects of the plate..HiFi & High End Show is an exhibition of high-end audio and video equipment. Crocus Expo in Moscow.
Machinists use this type of a micrometer to measure the depth of a hole or opening with precise accuracy. I placed the device on my laptop so the keyboard's lights would show up as Bokeh in the background. An Aputure MC LED light was also used to highlight the gauge's numbers.
Not a job for the little guy. But when accuracy counts, this is who you want on the job (or so I was told by the foreman).

Named for its rigorous patrol of hedges and woodland rides, the gatekeeper butterfly is a prime pollinator. Look for them sipping nectar on sunny days in the summer.
This butterfly rests with its wings open, so the underside is less frequently visible. The male, shown here, has broad sex brands, comprising scent-producing scales known as androconia, on its forewings; the female has no such strips and is evidently much more of an orange butterfly. Unlike many 'browns', the Gatekeeper often rests with its wings open, which is very helpful when you are trying to determine the gender of a Gatekeeper. There is a wingspan difference between the sexes - but who can estimate size with any degree of accuracy when a butterfly is in flight? Males, with their wingspan typically 4cm, are slightly smaller than females, which usually have a wingspan of about 4.5cm
.Also known as the Hedge Brown butterfly, the Gatekeeper is fond of brambly hedgerows and ragwort-infested scrubland where nectar-bearing flowers are plentiful.
This short-lived butterfly of high summer emerges from the beginning of July onwards but by the end of August there are very few if any left to see.
Gatekeepers are seen throughout England, but they are more abundant in southern counties. In Wales the Gatekeeper is fairly common in the south and west but is less frequently seen the further north you go. In Scotland the Gatekeeper is seen very rarely, and the same is true of most of Ireland, although along the coastal strip of southern Ireland there are reasonable numbers of this lovely golden butterfly.
Lifecycle
The larval foodplants of the Gatekeeper are various grasses, in particular the various bents (Agrostis spp), meadow-grasses (Poa spp) and fescues (Festuca spp). The egg-laying habitat is rough grassland at hedged field margins, in woodland rides, fire breaks and larger clearings, and in scrubby grassland and wasteland where bushes have sprung up among grasses.
Female Gatekeepers drop their straw-yellow eggs from the air onto or near to suitable grass tussocks, generally in the shade of a small bush or a hedge. The eggs darken and become mottled brown-grey as, over a period of two to three weeks, the larvae develop inside the egg case. Once they have eaten their way out of the egg case, the tiny caterpillars consume their foodplant during daylight. After the first moult, the caterpillars crawl deep down into the base of their grass tussock and there they hibernate until the following spring. On waking, the green (sometimes brown) caterpillars become nocturnal feeders. They pupate in June or early July after their fourth moult, and the adult butterflies emerge from their chrysalises about three weeks later.
There are small white spots in the grey-brown mottling on the hindwing of the Gatekeeper. The Southern Gatekeeper, Pyronia cecila, is similar, but it has a more silvery mottled underside to its rear hindwings without the white spots.
The Elegant Tern is nature’s version of a feathered javelin. It hovers, tilts, and dives headfirst with the kind of clean, no-splash entry that would earn a perfect 10 at the Fish Olympics.
There’s no flailing, no belly flop—just grace, speed, and pinpoint accuracy as it snags fish near the surface like it’s playing claw machine with sushi.
In this scene, the male tern has just handed over a freshly caught fish, which in tern culture is the equivalent of a five-star dinner, and says, “I’m emotionally available.”
She accepts, eats the fish, and then breaks into a dance that looks suspiciously like a Cossack trying not to slip on seaweed. Meanwhile, he raises his wings like, “Boom. Behold these pectorals.” This works for terns.
I once gave someone a fish as a romantic gesture. It did not go well. I now have a couch with a permanent impression in the shape of my regret. Just go with chocolate and flowers. It's safer. And it doesn’t smell like trout.
If you’re courting a mate, here’s a practical tip—
Don’t offer a fish unless she’s a seal with a grip.
Wind Sailing.
Yesterday we ventured out hoping for waves and long exposure shots of the lake.. the days forest called for heavy winds gusting to 50 kph. I grabbed the tripod, the ND filter and a few other items you would want for smoothing out wave action.
We arrived to find absolute calm and no need for tripods or ND filters... Lake Ontario was flat and calm.
A Sailboarder out in the lake was struggling to get wind in his sail to get moving, the Toronto skyline in the distance made his lack of movement even more evident.
I suppose he checked the weather network before he headed out today as well, expecting the winds were going to be awesome for sailboarding. Maybe the weather network should take a survey; how would he respond to the question.
"How would you rate the accuracy of our weather reports?"
1. Very satisfied,
2. Somewhat satisfied
3. Not satisfied.at all....

One of the best lines on the Maserati 250F, in my opinion, is this curve at the rear of the car. With the small vents and the fuel filler visible, I think the way this shape is formed is just beautiful. The hand painted registration and race number add to the beauty of the car.
The only minor complaint I have about this shot is the transponder that is attached to the bodywork, but the way motorsport events run these days, accuracy is demanded for lap timings etc.

For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "collage in black & white"
I first got curious about the fork when I saw the film "Becket". In the film the fork was seen as a novelty - and an 'invader' to England. There was much laughter and disdain from the Saxons at the king's table. I've since discovered that there is very little historical accuracy in the film (and not only about forks!) it's a Hollywood frothy concoction! But the essence, that the fork was a late-comer to Britain (indeed to Europe) is true. The best guess is a Byzantine princess brought us all the gift!
Today there are somewhere between 30 and 35 different kinds and shapes of fork - from 2 to 4 tines - from a tuning fork to a gardening fork to an everyday table fork! Here I've mixed cake forks and a few general table forks to admire closely...

I went looking for Black skimmers, yesterday morning. While I captured a few of the classic, in profile, skimming shots, this was my favorite of the morning. It shows the remarkable precision and accuracy of these birds as they feed. The sun was shining through the translucent beak making it appear to glow.
While I love my 5D Mk III (Child number four? Why yes, it is.), I'm thinking the 7D is going in for service and then being put back in action for those far away bird shots.

It's time to take a break from my own photos and celebrate the 11 photo books I have from Flickr friends (the 12th is on its way). These photos were all taken on a coffee table in my house in Brisbane in available light, so I can't vouch for their colour accuracy - one side is usually brighter than the other.
Bart van Damme's "Maasvlakte I & II" is a big book with generously sized images. I think it illustrates Bart's transition from architectural photography to the "new topographics" and combines brilliance in both.

Many of you probably don't know about Alexander Quail. Let me explain. Several years ago, there was a dearth of woodchucks chucking wood in California, and the same was true for groundhogs. Considering they're one and the same critter, that was a foregone conclusion. Anyway, having not enough goundhogs meant that the state could not celebrate Groundhog Day.
So it was declared that February 1st would be California Quail Day. Alexander, who lives under a shrub on Mt. Diablo, a special shrub to hide under and get away from all those pesky photographers, comes out every Feb. 1. If he does not see Bill Murray, there will be another 4 weeks of winter. If he does see Bill Murray, his hideaway is immediately checked for liquor and/or marijuana, and spring should be here in four days.
There has been much discussion as to his accuracy, but such discussions were squelched with the simple statement, "It's all a PR stunt, idiot. Now, let Alex go back to his fiance, Minnie Marmot, so we can all get some peace and quiet."

How amazing is this? Created in Florence over 300 years ago using inlaid semi-precious stones, this is a detail from a decorative table given to King Frederik IV of Denmark by the Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1709. Personally I think the accuracy is remarkable, particularly given the limitations of the materials.
A little experiment to see if I could capture the wonderful colours of a rainbow with some accuracy. I liked the result :)
Common names for plants are sometimes lacking in accuracy, and in truth there is no set of official common names as with birds and mammals. Calochortus eurycarpus (white mariposa lily) is one of several lovely mariposa lily species that exhibit variation in petal color. Most of the flowers are white, but pink and rarely blue morphs occur, not jiving with the typical common name used for this species: white mariposa lily. They all have the purple splotch half way up the petal, with an arc of bright orange glands toward the base of the petal that produce nectar for the diverse insects that pollinate the species.
White mariposa lilies occur throughout the central Rocky Mountains and mountains of the Great Basin, in montane meadows. The plants are perennials that grow from bulbs, occurring in large numbers in many sites. This year’s bloom in the meadows of the Sawtooths was prolific, possibly due to the abundant winter precipitation.

Muybridge is known for his pioneering photographic images of bodies in motion and his dedication to scientific accuracy and his artistic composition. The artist photographed his models against a measured grid background while instructing them in a variety of action sequences such as walking up and down stairs, carrying buckets of water or performing ballet sequences. This work deoicts Miss Kate Larrigan, one of only a few models who had the requisite graceful bearing that Myuridge envisioned for his work.
