Thursday afternoon skate at our local spot.
These are my first ever "high speed shooting" test shots so I could learn how to do this type of image.
It's surprisingly easy to do this but it is extremely time consuming depending on how perfectly you want each layer to sit over one and other. I used camera raw & photoshop CS5 for this image.
[A little bit out of focus, rookie error...]
Taken with the tokina 11-16mm... My new favourite lens.

Feldherrnhalle
The Feldherrnhalle (Field Marshals' Hall) is a monumental loggia on the Odeonsplatz in Munich, Germany. Modeled after the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, it was commissioned in 1841 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to honor the tradition of his army.
In 1923 it was the site of the brief battle that ended Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch. During the Nazi era it served as a monument commemorating the death of 16 members of the Nazi party.
Structure
The Feldherrnhalle was built between 1841 and 1844 at the southern end of Munich's Ludwigstrasse next to the Palais Preysing and east of the Hofgarten. Previously the Gothic Schwabinger Tor (gate) occupied that place. Friedrich von Gärtner built the Feldherrnhalle[1] at the behest of King Ludwig I of Bavaria after the example of the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence.
The Feldherrnhalle was a symbol of the honours of the Bavarian Army, represented by statues of two military leaders Johann Tilly and Karl Philipp von Wrede. The first led Bavarians in the Thirty Years War; the second led the fight against Napoleon.[2] The statues were created by Ludwig Schwanthaler.[3]
Right from the start, some Munich folk used to (and still does) ridicule the two persons honoured in the "Bayerische Feldherrnhalle" (lit. 'Bavarian Hall of Field Commanders / Field Marshals') in reference to the descendance of Tilly and the military strategic capabilities of Wrede: "The one / first was" indeed "never anything like a Bavarian and the second / other" imputedly "never anything like a Feldherr". It is a citation from Lion Feuchtwanger's novel Erfolg (de).
A sculptural group by Ferdinand von Miller was added to the centre of the monument in 1882, after the Franco-Prussian War, representing the victory over the French and the unification of Germany. The lions are a work of Wilhelm von Rümann, added in 1906 in imitation of the Medici lions of the Loggia dei Lanzi.
Site of the Beer Hall Putsch
The Feldherrnhalle was the scene of a confrontation on Friday morning, 9 November 1923, between the Bavarian State Police and the followers of Adolf Hitler in which the Nazi party attempted to storm the Bavarian Defense Ministry. This was the culmination of the Nazis' failed coup attempt to take over the Bavarian State, commonly referred to as the Beer Hall Putsch. In the ensuing gun battle, four policemen and sixteen marchers were killed. Many more were wounded, including Hermann Göring. As a result of the failure of the so-called Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler was arrested and sentenced to a prison term.
Sacred Nazi site
After the Nazis took power in 1933, Hitler turned the Feldherrnhalle into a memorial to the Nazis killed during the failed putsch. A memorial to the fallen SA men was put up on its east side, opposite the location of the shootings. This monument, called the Mahnmal der Bewegung, was created to a design by Paul Ludwig Troost. It was a rectangular structure listing the names of the martyrs.[2] This was under perpetual ceremonial guard by the SS. The square in front of the Feldherrnhalle (the Odeonsplatz) was used for SS parades and commemorative rallies. During some of these events the sixteen dead were each commemorated by a temporary pillar placed in the Feldherrnhalle topped by a flame. New SS recruits took their oath of loyalty to Hitler in front of the memorial. Passers-by were expected to hail the site with the Nazi salute.
Consequently, some people tried to avoid this. The structure's backside was (and still is) occupied by a rococo palace, the Palais Preysing, in front of which runs a lane, the "Viscardigasse". This little detour helped to bypass the hall, subsequently earning it the nickname "Drückebergergasse" (lit. 'shirker's lane').[2]
Post war
At the end of the war the Feldherrnhalle was restored to its pre-Nazi appearance. Local people spontaneously smashed the Mahnmal der Bewegung to pieces on 3 June 1945.[2] In the 1950s a plan to move Bavaria's memorial to the unknown soldier to the Feldherrnhalle was halted on the grounds that it could provide an excuse for neo-Nazis to meet at the site.[2]
On 25 April 1995 Reinhold Elstner, a World War II veteran, committed self-immolation in front of Feldhernhalle to protest against "the ongoing official slander and demonization of the German people and German soldiers". Each year neo-fascist groups from various European countries try to hold a commemorative ceremony for him, which Bavarian authorities try to prevent through state and federal courts.[4]
This modification allows the newly built torso redesign to be stable and secure, only now the lower half is a bit loose

So, after a REALLY long time, we went out for a day out and about. We visited the Dallas zoo and I got to practice my rusty photography skills again. I took only my 55-250 lens attached with a hood and I was very pleased with some of the shots. I will be sharing some of them over time. For some reason, I really like this shot, I think the light is great, although if he had been tilted to towards the camera ever so slightly, it would have been even better.
With its new move to residency at the Planet Hollywood Casino Resort, Crazy Girls is clearly a permanent fixture on the Las Vegas Strip. The ultra-sexy show has entertained millions of audience members, including famous faces like Nicolas Cage, Magic Johnson, Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci and Tom Jones.
MSNBC calls the the bronze Vegas-Strip tribute statue one of the "World's Top 10 Good Luck Monuments." The story of how this image became iconic is filled with controversy that started in 1994 when Las Vegas city officials sought to persuade the Riviera Hotel and Casino, the previous home of Crazy Girls, to take down a billboard near City Hall. The show refused on the grounds that taking down the advertisement would infringe upon the girls’ First Amendment rights. The bronze statue depicting the now internationally famous image was erected years later as a tribute to the Girls' successful fight; it has become an international symbol of good luck, and thousands of visitors visit the statue each year to rub the trademark bare bronze derrieres. Once again in 1999, Republican state Senator Bill O'Donnell declared the sexy ad showing the Crazy Girls' bare backsides too racy... pushing to remove ads from Las Vegas taxicabs. The Crazy Girls fought back and prevailed once again; the ads can still be seen on Vegas taxicabs today.The Crazy Girls' controversies didn't start there, however. Years earlier, Crazy Girls shocked Las Vegas by performing without tights - a testament not only to the show's willingness to make headlines, but also to the show's high standards for the athleticism and sexiness of its performers. With nearly everything laid bare, there was no question which show had the hottest girls in town.Las Vegas' most sizzling topless show still pushes the envelope night after night. Brand new routines are introduced that feature the scintillating professionally trained dancers performing world renowned choreography, a nod to its classic floor-show roots. Routines range from topless contemporary boot-stomping pole dance numbers to bawdy, burlesque classics. $500,000 in dazzling costumes adorn each girl, from Parisian-influenced topless outfits to black leather and spiked heels, but one thing is constant - the G-strings that accentuate the Girls' trademark derrieres.The always controversial and sexy Crazy Girls is a must-see show now only at Planet Hollywood.
