'Crouching Beast II' is a sculpture by artist Lynn Chadwick. It is part of the Sainsbury Centre collection at the University of East Anglia
Goodwood: Festival of Speed: The FIAT S76, later known as the FIAT 300 HP RECORD and nicknamed "The Beast of Turin", was a car built in 1911 by FIAT specifically to beat the land speed record held at the time by Blitzen Benz. It has a 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 28,353 cm3 (1,730.2 in3) (190mm x 250mm), and provides 290 metric hp (290 CV / 213kW) at 1900 rpm.

Blood Polyps, unlike Green Polyps, utilize a great variety of small and agile drones. They, however, require special training which can only be performed by members of a specific caste.

the little willow in our front garden has nearly only skeletal leaves and here are the ravenous beasts...
I feel a little bit sorry about the snail, it will be soon hungry...
This is my much loved Ferrari Testarossa. Not the real thing, but a prized, die cast and rather rather large 1/8th scale model.
It was made "way back" last century by a company called Pocher, (sadly no longer in business) who made the most amazing and detailed large scale models. This is actually one of the less detailed kits with just over 500 parts. It includes such detail as pop up headlights, fully opening doors, bonnet (hood) and boot (trunk - which is actually at the front of this car, being a rear engined one). The fully working steering wheel is linked to the front wheels and it has full suspension. The engine has amazing detail with real rubber fan belts and the like. It is a treat to view on its own. Inside, the seatbelt material is real, and the gear lever moves through that wonderful chrome slotted H pattern gate. The seats move fore and aft, and even have reclining backrests! It even has a tiny key on a keyring which will unlock and open the doors! Some of the other more detailed vintage models go as far as having working brakes, and have real leather upholstery.
My model is in a bad way and needs some tender loving restoration. Through moving house no less than nine times, it has suffered a little with every pack and unpack. Normally it would have lovely wing mirrors, but both have broken off several times. I still have them but need to do some detailed work to get them back on again.
I will hopefully present it again one day in a better setting and with a little more attention paid to getting the forced perspective right. Here it is in our front garden under the dappled shade of our silver birch tree. In over 30 years of owning this car, this is the first time I have photographed it. I even washed and polished it (with real Meguiar's car polish) just for the occasion! (What a geek!)
The figure of a black griffin holding a banner, forms part of a group which, together with bull, ram and dolphin, are known as the Dacre Beasts. The griffin represents Thomas Lord Dacre's forebears, the Dacres of Gilsland. The banner bears the 19th-century arms (three rose chaplets) of the Greystoke family (The New Greystoke Arms). Chaplets (bearings representing a garland of leaves with four flowers at equal distances) signify great military prowess. The Dacre Beasts are rare survivors of a tradition of heraldic ornament. They represent one of the most powerful families in northern England and are a unique survivors of free standing, large-scale wooden heraldic sculpture from the English Renaissance.

This is Brian, "The Flash, Granddog", who is visiting for the weekend, in the bush.
Beast……
This is my fourth Inktober submission, I drew this specifically for Inktober. I used a picture of a wolf from the internet as I have never been up close like this with a wolf.

Saw this one night on Toorak Road. Sounded amazing. Unfortunately only got this shot

I rented this lens this weekend, as you get 3 days for price of 2 on long weekends hehe...and i wanted to try the 85 focal length, as im planning on buying an 85mm. Also i had a trash the dress this weekend (and also a funeral). this is the 85 1.2.....when you see pictures of the 5D, you'll see this big ass lens onthe front of it...its this one. It seems to have a HUGE front element, despite it only being 72mm (by comparison, most L lenses have 77mm elements, and the 16-35 has 82!).....
i took this with the lens facing outwards of my condo, i love how you can see the cityscape in different chromic colours in the lens!
anyway, this lens is 2400....and i can say (samples coming soon) that it possibly has the best bokeh and background blur out there, hands down....if your person is even 1-2 feet away from the background, it will just disappear into an amazing blur of colours, its simply amazing. And it gives new meaning to taking portraits at big apertures...at f1.2, it gives a certain something to faces.
People say its heavy! well, i guess its heavy for a prime, but compared to other lenses (70-200 f2.8 IS come to mind) its nothing...certainly well balanced for a 5D. image quality, colour, contrast, etc all worth the 2 grand. and if you ever had to take a picture in the dark? slap 5D on 3200, f1.2, and there you go...nighttime photography!
BUT!! its not all good.....
the USM is a sucky USM....its slow. autofocus on this beast, considering its got a 1.2 aperture to use, is slow, im talking 60mm macro type slow...ratchets, and on 5D, is slow. Also, the manual focus ring is loose (might have just be my rental), and it doesnt work if the power is off.
this means that, if you have it on close focus, the little lens telescopes out a bit...maximum about 2 cms....and it will be stuck out there unless you turn camera power on, ratchet it back in, then turn it off again...very poor considering 2400 dollar lens.
also, gotta watch the back element, it is very vulnerable to damage when mounting the lens.
technically, it is quite hard to shoot with 1.2 aperture....your focussing plane is about a gazillionth of a decimal place in width....you have to focus very precisely, and keep refocusing...and with the slow autofocus, this is not always easy to do....and you definately cant focus and recompose, it will throw it out.
so all in all, in my very amateur opinion, it aint worth 2400 bucks when the 85 1.8 is so goood for 300 bucks....

This car is monstruous. I wonder what the SV is going to look like when the 50th anniversary already looks so violent !
By the way, you can expect some pretty cool uploads in the next weeks, I can safely say I refueled my Flickr upload list for a long time.
Veritas RS III Prototype - Böblingen
Such a sick car!
It's insanely loud and it looks just brutal.
It set off the fire alarm in the whole building while reving! :D
I hope you like this shot. It was'nt easy to take a picture without people in it.

A beast from below and so on - inspired by current HF wave (don't own any of those sets though). More on my blog.
This is Mendarièn.
He's a powerful planetary spirit or earth god. Calm and strong. He adopted a race of wonderful people because he felt drawn towards them and gradually loved them dearly.
The inspiration for his faceup comes from the Greenman mask. A very interesting concept, and first for me.
Mendarièn is a Soom Beast. <3
