I've used a lot of German Flott braces. They might not be the best looking braces you'll find but they are excellent users, well made and very solid.
This is the nicest example I have ever seen. For once I have only had to clean off some very light surface rust and then polished the steel parts with Autosol and a cloth. The ratchet mechanism works like a clock and the paintwork is original. Even the transfer decal logotype on the sweep handle is almost entirely intact.
The Flott braces comes with a variety of chuck jaws. This example has four jaws which are riveted to the chuck. The jaws are very well working. They will accept square as well as round shanks. The jaws are designed so that the square shank will fit inside a square hole in the bottom of the chuck and the jaws will the center and lock the bit.

bit of cross processing and some vignette and a swizzle of the contrast knob here. was at the columbia road flower market at the top of brick lane in east london and these city ladies looked good letting their hair down for a hangover large mocha to discuss the tribulations of last nights gentlemen.
Auger Bits
Date Taken : 2004/11/28
Camera: Canon 10D
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens

This is my scrap pull for you partner! Are these the perfect mix for you?
And I apologize for the wrinkles!:)
A bit of an experiment here. I wasn't happy with the photos once I got them home, so decided to go a bit wild on the saturation and contrast - just for the fun of it!
These are the Hob Stones on Brownlow Roacher, at the top of Wharncliffe Crags. What I really like about this area, besides the barren, rocky landscape, is the fact that you can spend a whole day here and hardly see another person. Sometimes places like Stanage Edge are like a High Street on Market Day, here - not a soul!
PS: It's meant to be dark!
Okay, here's the legs, all laid out so I know what's what, with his right leg parts on the right, and his left leg parts on the left. I put the leg elastic to the left of the set-up, because Leg and Left begin with the same letter - It works for me.
Bit miffed by the focus (or lack of!) top left, but hey - it's a work day and I haven't got time to retake. Like the light though - I tend to avoid playing with light as am a bit crap at it!

“MAD about Hollywood” es una exposición que descubre la huella que dejaron en Madrid y su región los actores de cine de Hollywood que trabajaron y vivieron aquí en los años 50 y 60.
El final del sistema de estudios de Hollywood en 1948 provocó que tanto actores como productores, directores y guionistas tuvieran una mayor libertad de movimientos. Así, en los años 50 comenzaron a llegar a Madrid rodajes de grandes superproducciones, como Alejandro El Grande, protagonizada por Richard Burton, u Orgullo y pasión, dirigida por Stanley Kramer y protagonizada nada menos que por Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra y Sophia Loren. Este interés por las localizaciones de la Comunidad de Madrid se basó en la variedad de escenarios y paisajes naturales, los bajos costes técnicos y las facilidades para obtener licencias de rodaje.
Estos dos filmes fueron el pistoletazo de salida de las grandes producciones hollywoodienses en Madrid, que dieron lugar a la llegada de celebrities a la región, como por ejemplo Ava Gardner, instalada en Madrid desde 1954 hasta finales de los 60.
En esta exposición, compuesta por fotografías de época, revistas y un atractivo aparato audiovisual, recorreremos las calles madrileñas y los paisajes de la región a través de instantáneas de figuras como Ava Gardner, Orson Welles, Cary Grant, Elizabeth Taylor o Audrey Hepburn, que fueron inmortalizadas por los fotorreporteros españoles del momento, ávidos de retratar a tan rutilantes estrellas.
(for the record - game was played on Realistic mode as well as co-op on-line & split-screen)
I'll always have a bit of a soft spot when it comes to the Splinter Cell series. Hell, it was the Xbox Live trial that came with Pandora Tomorrow that gave me my first taste of on-line gaming via a console and I've been a Xbox Live member ever since.
With that said, mid-way through playing Double Agent I fell out of favor with the series. The gameplay felt slow and sluggish, the trial & error failures were frustrating, and the removal of my beloved Spies vs. Mercenaries mode put the final nail in Sam Fisher's coffin (IMHO). So believe me when I say I was skeptical of what Conviction was going to offer.
I pre-ordered the game in blind faith, and second guessed my decision right up until I had my copy in my hands. After plowing through Conviction's story, co-op & challenge modes, I'm delighted to say that the changes Ubisoft made to the series were well worth it. I had a hell of a good romp stepping back into the role of super spy, Sam Fisher and I'm already eager for more.
The first thing that hit me about Conviction was the art style. The game looks fantastic, and the stylized mission objectives scrawled across the landscape are pure awesome-sauce. This is just the icing on the cake though when it comes to the changes that have been made to the gameplay.
Splinter Cell Conviction is less 'slow & steady' and more 'quick & deadly'. The shadows are still your best friend, but you are just as lethal in the light as in the dark. It's also not 'game over' this time around when you're spotted (well, aside from a few levels). Sam can move like a ninja when he needs to, and disappear back into the darkness when in trouble. Striking & vanishing in Conviction reminded me a lot of how Batman knocked out baddies in Arkham Asylum. The biggest difference however is that when Sam Fisher hits you, you aren't getting back up again.
When I first saw videos of the new 'Tag & Execute' feature I was worried it was going to pollute Conviction with quick-time-ish events, but I was so totally off the mark. Tag & Execute is an excellent addition to your arsenal, and will have you planning & striking with bad-ass, surgical precision. It's a extremely handy tool, but just like your flashbangs & grenades, it's only a tool - and you are still going to need to line up plenty of head-shots and stealth kills all on your own.
I think the biggest accomplishment for Conviction is giving me back that super-spy feeling I had when I first stepped into Sam Fisher's shoes. Sam is more agile than ever, and much more aggressive and brutal this time around.
In addition to all the changes the game has undergone, Conviction offers a bevy of modes to keep you coming back for more. You have the main single player story, a full co-op story, challenge missions & a horde mode. These can all be played on-line or split-screen - or even tackled solo if you're up for it(aside from the co-op story I believe). Whatever you choose, Conviction has a lot of content to offer for your gaming dollars.
Splinter Cell Conviction is an exhilarating action experience, and an extremely worthwhile reboot of the franchise. If the game included an update to the Spies vs Mercenaries multiplayer mode it would be a holy grail of hotness. Even without this mode though, Conviction is still worth every penny of the $42 Amazon is currently asking for the title.
FRACKING GREAT!
Bit of the displays at Canyon Rim Visitor Center at the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia; largest single span arch bridge in the world. Definitely worth the visit. Thanks, WV and U.S. National Parks Service!!!
A bit noisy but it was the best I could manage in the horrible lighting conditions. I know the sun is up there somewhere ...
Bald Eagles Nesting in New Jersey
“The Rebound in the Garden State”
New Jersey was once home to more than 20 pairs of nesting Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). As a result of the use of the pesticide DDT, the number of nesting pairs of Bald eagles in the state declined to only one by 1970 and remained at one into the early 1980's. Use of DDT was banned in 1972. That ban combined with restoration efforts by biologists within the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP) acted to increase the number of New Jersey Bald eagles to 119 active pairs in 2013 and 177 young produced.

Thank You
Need a bit of input on this one... not my usual style but feel the need to branch out and do other stuff to learn more. (I get bored quite easily and need to challenge myself often - so this is a self assignment - remember, I do this for fun and not for a living)
I have always admired other photographers (much like other starting photographers do). Helmut Newton always gave me inspiration on subjects. He often draws themes from strong, sensual women in unique often dreamed situations (unless you lived his life in Monaco) while keeping the subject challenging and strong. His image style was not unique, but his execution and content was, and we all know it had a bit of controversy based on the period he was producing his early work.
I could not be farther from Mr. Newton's real, so I thought it was the best example to learn from.
Came up with the concept of 4 frames (the other ones are coming soon), found the "perfect model" who came from Ottawa to do this (it could had been a friend, but this girl was perfect in my books), took a Saturday to scout barber shops, pitched the idea to the owner (thank you Mr Vitto) researched the lighting and out we went. So it took a few days, a bunch of calls and a borrowed lens.
Model: Chantal
MUA: Sheena Long
Unimportant guy who clicks the button: me... (I got to start giving me credit now)
Strobits: Closed the windows as I needed to control the light (and stop on-lookers). Beauty dish (yes, I know, I can't live without it - but that is how I pre-visualized the image), AB pointing towards the celling behind the camera - SB800 pointing towards celling to complete ambient light behind the barber's chair to add a bit more separation. metered the ambience I created and shot at a stop under exposed while adjusting main dish's light to my target.
Contrast and B&W conversion in PS.

Bit of an F1 shindig near the office before the Silverstone GP. Somewhat smaller than billed (15 F1 cars, not 50) but with demo runs from the current Lotus team. Good fun, the best lunchbreak I've had in ages!
This large CDV is a bit of an oddball. It was made in Weimar (Thüringen) and depicts what I would say could be a Vizefeldwebel (NCO with Portepee), given the rank button on his collar, NCO litzen and the saber with Prussian Officers portepee. It looks like an IOD89, but I'm not 100% sure. The basket looks different, but it could be the angle.
He is wearing the M1907/10 Feldrock with Brandenburg cuffs and he's holding his visored cap at hand. He has a small ribbon bar decoration (with crossed swords) pinned to his chest, can anyone identify this.
All well, so what's odd? I would swear I see the rampart (i.e. Bavarian) lion on his buttons, but his belt is clearly marked Gott Mit Uns (i.e. Prussian motto). Also, the sword and knot would indicate Prussian. Any thoughts?
Looking a bit like a ghost ship, the tall ship Hindu, sails on the waters of Lake Superior. The story behind this sleek, 79-foot ship rivals the tall tales of any salty dog. The famous William H. Hand Jr. of Portland, Maine designed the pleasure yacht in 1925 for a wealthy family who commissioned the Hodgdon Brothers in East Boothbay, Maine to build her. They named her “Princess Pat.”
The British Princess Patricia sewed banners with her own hands for a military unit in Canada at the turn of the 20th century and the soldiers, in turn, honored her in a song. Like her namesake, the schooner proved to be beautiful and capable.
A man named William A. Parker bought the schooner and sailed her to India in 1938 to retrieve spices for trade in the U.S. The vessel’s name had changed twice by the time Parker bought the vessel, from “Princess Pat” to “Saispas”(French for “do not know”), and then to *Anna Lee Ames.* Parker changed the name for the last time following his journey to India, christening her the Hindu.
Two years later, the U.S. Navy commissioned the ship during World War II, painted her gray and mounted a machine gun on her foredeck. She patrolled the coast searching for German U-boats, engaging them on more than one occasion according to logbooks. Following the war, the Hindu settled in Provincetown, Massachusetts and remained there for decades. It was primarily used as a charter vessel that eventually helped former captain Justin Avellar pioneer the whale-watching industry on the East Coast in the 1960s.
Despite the ship’s popularity in Provincetown, the Hindu ultimately fell into disrepair at the turn of the 21st century. She faced demolition in a Massachusetts boatyard when Kevin “Foggy” Foley rallied enough support to fully rebuild her in 2006.
Foley chartered the schooner in Provincetown in the summer seasons and Key West during winter. Unfortunately she ended up neglected once again and eventually sat unused for nearly two years in a Key West boatyard.
William Rowan eventually bought the Hindu from the bank and began restoration work with the help of friends and family. (Info Baylake Bank website)
