This week’s theme for my Macro Mondays group is “Take Something Ordinary.” I have not been very good about participating in this group this year due to limitations on time and creativity. This week’s theme seemed like a good time to take some shots. Here’s a shot of my gym locker. I’ve been using it since 1992, so it has a bit of wear and tear.
HMM!

-- No, not Mary & Molly, though the dog is pretty special. I'm referring to the film and developer. Don't shoot a lot of interior stuff, but I see why people like the Diafine in Tri-X. Such versatility.
I read somewhere once that the most boring thing to photograph was sunsets and sunrises because everybody took pictures of them. The article I read said that sunsets were a dime a dozen - beautiful but over photographed and therefore "ordinary" and tiring to look at. I have several friends here on Flickr who take OUTSTANDING pictures of both sunsets and sunrises. I never ever get tired of looking at them... I guess this goes back to what I was talking about before - photographing what you love and what brings you joy within yourself. So my sunset picture may not be the best of the best and perhaps it is just another sunset picture that gets lost in a sea of gold online, but you know I rather like knowing there are still thousands of others appreciating the most simple and beautiful part of nature each day : the rising and the setting of the sun. Daily, routine, reliable - the sun slips down in the most resplendent manner and rises again every day for us to admire. It brings stability to our lives, a break in all of our busyness. So onward with my ramblings, ha! This was taken at Chatfield State Park yesterday. It was a rather spontaneous decision. My hubby got home and as we were eating dinner I looked at the time - it was around 6:30, and I said, "Let's hurry and make it out to Chatfield before the sun goes down!" We brought a blanket down to this special little spot we go to by the lake. It's off of the trail and so farI've never seen anyone else down there which makes it feel like its our "secret spot". There were at least 9 sailboats out there before it got darker, drifting lazily in the cool breeze. I did a combination of video and photos while watching my children play and splash in the water. It was almost too perfect. I'm hoping to post a video soon if I can get it right. Trying to figure out Premiere Pro and am absolutely LOST! Can you believe I've had it for 3 months and still don't know what I'm doing... Anyway as always thank you for listening to my ramblings.
Much love,
xx

My squad and I had narrowly escaped the behemoth of droid by simply running from the B3. We were able to demobilize the droid with a combination of well timed teamwork and some extra boom. Wedging a thermal detonator inside it’s left leg we stopped it from chasing us and left it laying there in the corridor, immobilized but alive.
After that we decide to keep going deeper, in sesrch of our real objective, the trandoshan’s supposed leader, Sask. We were told he was a petty scientist, most likely hiding away in his lab.
“CRZZCH...crzzch...”
The static of blocked comms penetrated all our helmets. Stopping to adjust a sensor on my comms helmet I was able to get a clearer signal.
“Redwing and company, return to the— CRRZCH... come back up. We need support, droids have reinforc—CRRZCH. The scientist is gone, he was replaced, CRZZCH three jedi dead. Return at once—“
The static of the comms fizzled out and left us to our own devices, each clone turned to face me. Using their posture and probably expressions under those helmets to ask me what to do next. I didn’t know at that moment, we had to return, Jester’s orders. But 3 jedi dead? Someone had to pay for that.
“CT-9856 and CT-7723 you’re with me, the rest of you had back to command for a status report. Relay as much data as you can to me. I want to know what’s going on out there.”
“If you’re not going to command, what are you doing?” Titan asked me, with a hint of weariness in his voice.
“I’m going to find out what killed those jedi.”
“Yessir” Titan snapped back and signaled for his troops to follow him. Turning and leaving the small dark corridor they were in.
The two clones I had selected walk forward from the retreating group cautiously and somewhat weary of my presence. They were disturbed and frightened by my choice to use them to search these wretched halls.
Before Titan left the corridor, I could see him speaking to a clone that had just entered the far end, Captain Pharaoh took iff his helmet along with the rest of the clones in that area and looked in my direction.
“Pirunir sur’haaise, tal’galar vod.” Mando’a for ‘Make their eyes water, spill blood my brother.’ Titan and Pharaoh recited in unison. Placing their helmets back on and saluting myself and the two clones.
“Vode’ an brothers”
We turned in unison, heading towards both our undecided dooms. One of us most likely meeting ours sooner.
We solemnly trudged through the inner workings of labs, mechanical bays, a few mine shafts before finding a more active part of the facility. Lights were fully functioning as well as doors that didn’t need slicing. An aura of dread settled over me, this was the place.
As we stepped through a final set of blast doors we were greeted by a massive sprawling courtyard of sorts. Barren of the normal greens and bright colors in regal courtyards, replaced by the glow and hidden beauty of dark translucent fungi. Coating the walls and the floor in an iridescent blue glow. Accompanied by draping clothes and capes. Crisscrossing across the large room. The colors were reminiscent of a street market or a backwater main drag. It was genuinely beautiful.
But in all this beauty there was still violence and death, abominations and horrors. Clones and jedi alike strewn across the floor, surrounded by blood and refuse. These were the jedi Jester had spoke of, but it was more than three, at least a half dozen jedi lay motionless in the courtyard. Settled between rock and plant, coated in blood and death.
Across the grand room was a throne, that slowly swiveled to reveal a massive, disgusting mass of gears, metal and flesh. A horror of a creature, brandishing his large claws, sharpening them with a small blade, scraping away caked blood and guts.
“Mhmmm, more clonessss, kill them.” The large beast’s mouth opened to reveal a ling tongue and rows of teeth, the order barely caught my attention as I was focused on the visuals of the new threat.
Two guards awoke from behind us, shooting one of my troopers while the other had an unreadied blaster. Turning from the behemoth I threw one of my knifes directly into the lizard’s scaly neck. While the second guard was peppered in lazer bolts by the other clone.
As we turned back towards the larger, disfigured trandoshan, we readied our selves. Just in time for a spear to come flying towards us, impaling CT-7723 and sending him flying back into another pile of clone bodies.
The large half lizard half droid rose from his throne. I drew my vibronato and readied myself. Tossing my cumbersome helmet to the floor.
“For Tal’akaata, blood must be spilled.” I murmured.
The lizard seemed ready to lecture me, as if he hadn’t deterred me enough of his company. I charged towards the beast, lunging forward with my blade and slashing the fleshy, writhing muscles of it’s leg. The lizard easily brushed my aside and threw me against the side of the room. Crashing into a shelf of weapons.
A blaster rifle clattered to the floor before me, picking it up, I aimed between the lizards large yellow eyes. One fully white and glazed over, most likely a failed part of his transformation.
“Who are you!?” I yelled at the lizard, seeking to catch my breath and waste time.
“I am a sssscientist, an inventor, a thinker. I am the Republic’ssss worst enemy, it’sss downfall, it’sss doom! Call me sssSask, because now I’m an unstoppable force, with the body of demon, intellect of a god and the killer instinctssss of a trandoshan, I am your Republic’ssss worst enemy.” The creature’s single eye expanded, showing how crazed he was, licking and smacking his massive jaws together, preparing for either myself or his future rampage.
“You on the other hand clone, you are nothing. Worthlessss trash, thrown together by the Kaminoansss to collect a profit. They don’t care who wins this war, as long as you cost creditssss, they’re in businessSss.”
“You know nothing lizard! The jedi value us, without us there would be no one to protect the republic.”
“Oh you sSsilly clone, the jedi think the sssame. Using you as weaponssss, as toolsSs, who are you clone? If not another tool for the jedi?
My trigger squeezed tighter on the trigger and released a volley of shots toward the lizards head, but before they found skin, a metal plate greeted them instead. The plasma diffusing just as it had on the B3.
As the trandoshan came closer, I could do nothing but freeze. Frozen by the pure horror the being projected, scared to move, the lizard clutched my torso, lifting me into the air.
As he pressed his claws into my face, puncturing my scars, he screamed out in another tormenting volley of questions.
“You are nothing clone! Who are you? Who do you fight for for!?”
As his claws dug deeper into my face I grabbed one of my vibroknifes and stabbed it into the fleshy, writhing muscles of his exposed arm. Releasing the claws tension enough that I could fall to the ground. Backing up I found my vibrojato, picking up the blade I brandished it, wiping it through my kama.
“I fight for Democracy, for my brothers....
FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!”
The blade left my hand and flew towards the beast’s glazed, white eye. Lodging itself deep within that murky white, which was replaced by a deep dark red. The lizard buckled and his knees fell to the floor. Careening towards my lifeless body, it crushed me and sent the blade deeper into whatever brain was left in that beast. The noise and chaos settled in the courtyard, leaving only a pile, a clone and a mutated trandoshan in it’s wake.

With the combination of MinifigCAT, TinyTactical, and CombatBrick weapons/accessories I have made my best attempt to recreate Keegan P. Russ, Logan T. Walker, and their K9 companion Riley from the Call of Duty: Ghosts single-player campaign. That lineup however, was not the plan; a couple of months prior to the launch of the game, Infinity Ward released a trailer for their campaign giving us a better look at our Ghost squad. Following Elias’s statement in the trailer “A man who truly loves his country, doesn’t just give his life, he gives his sons.” it cuts to a shot of one of the Ghosts pulling his mask down making it seem as though we were looking at Hesh, who I later discovered was actually Keegan upon playing the campaign.
For quite some time I thought I had been making Hesh, and the problem didn’t even end there, when I played the mission “Federation Day” I also discovered that Keegan had yet to put his helmet on after putting his mask on. Therefore the mask you saw me preview on the game’s launch day was actually Keegan without his helmet (which I was unaware of at the time). I wasn’t going to do much about it until MinifigCAT released quad goggles, which were exactly what I needed to fix this inaccuracy issue. After obtaining a pair, I painted Keegan a new head, and basically completely altered his head’s appearance. While it does still have the same concept as the original, it was now far more accurate. I still do plan on featuring the Keegan’s original mask in my showcase video, as I am rather fond of it despite it being only half of what it needed to be. Now that I’ve explained that, we have Infinity Ward to thank for making Keegan look like he was Hesh in the trailer…
Keegan’s original mask, and Logan’s current mask were made from modified classic Lego Space helmets that I have had left over from BrickFair Alabama 2012, and were not made from MinifigCAT’s ski mask as most of you were speculating. Logan is the only figure here that utilizes CombatBrick accessories, but also contains various Tiny Tactical accessories along with a modified MinifigCAT belt. I was blown away by Tiny Tactical’s quality, and therefore decided to spoil Keegan with a lot of it, the communication kits and mini tac lights are great, I even used one of these lights for Riley’s ear piece. Keegan is sporting a Tiny Tactical Delta Force Carbine with an added holographic sight. Logan on the other hand is wielding a painted CombatBrick PP-19.
I am very satisfied with Riley’s outcome; he became pretty much exactly what I wanted him to be. I decided that he was more deserving of the second metal coil wire that I had left over because his is more visible than Logan’s (if Logan even has one that is). Riley’s webcam has a small lens painted onto the upper area of the attachment, with a couple of different pouches right below it (one is the top of a range finder while the other is from Tiny Tactical). His eyes were completely redone and I added his tongue to simulate a panting effect. The “Riley version” of the SEALs patch on his right side turned out pretty well, and I’m glad it did because it took more than a couple of attempts to get right. Also, his entire vest has a black weathered effect, which honestly completes his look in my opinion.
To conclude all of this, I’d like to address the general accuracy of these figures to their in-game appearance. They were not painted to be completely accurate, but rather to capture the basic concept of the characters.
Anyway, if you leave a favorite be sure to drop a comment! :)

Great combination of gilded stucco with pilasters in a startlingly striped black and white patterned marbling in this church built in the end of 17th-century in Rome
Interesting to find two scenes with strong similarities in two places you would never expect to find such things. I like looking for spots like this.
Following a 17 years restoration this has become one of the most remarkable churches in the world.
The combination of stabilization on the 24-70 f2.8, excellent corner image quality at f2.8 and 24mm, silent shutter in live view and tillable screen really on the D850 helped with these images.
But above all the color rendering of the D850 was perhaps its most important quality.
Another outfit I got at the end of my previous 'Mod' phase that I never really photographed;- Francie's 'THE COMBINATION' from 1969. Love this as it has so many pieces to it (also includes a plain green knit top to match the tights, which I also have,) and in so many colours and textures! Dig that groovy turquoise suede, bright green knit, psychedelic floral print and shaggy white curly 'fur'!!! My 1970 brunette short flip TNT Francie has been modelling this since it arrived, though I may put it on someone else soon, like my brunette Casey. Any other ideas?
this bee did not share the flower.

A combination of night shifts and Storm Henk meant a very short walk out to clear away the cobwebs without being blown away.
St Margaret's Church, Rochester. Originally a C13th/14th building was on the site (although records suggest there was an earlier church), only the tower exists, the older medieval nave having been demolished in 1823 to facilitate a larger church for a growing population. The building that stands today was put together piecemeal from 1824-40 with interior work continuing after that.
A glass of red wine in my hand and wearing a lovely and very comfortable red dress at the same time, this has to be a perfect combination.

A little higher up and we started to see parts of Lake Mead poking through; a little higher than that and we considered seeing our lives flash before our eyes. We turned around there.
