Story: After I put up the video of my retouching on the Jonnie Walker shot I got a meeting with a company that makes cosmetics. Since I didn't really have any cosmetics in my book I spent some quality time shooting specifically for that meeting. This was actually the shot that I started with. I knew I wanted a shot of a compact and this was basically the most difficult compact to shoot I could find. The entire thing is mirrored.
Lighting: The compact is sitting on a white seamless and there are two lights. There is a bare dynalite 2040 head from camera left providing the hard shadow. Then there is another bare head from camera right pointed to the seamless and that is what is providing the light fall off for the top. If the seamless is one color then the chrome doesn't look chrome so you have to get some light fall off. In addition to the two lights there is also a reflector right in front and a reflector overhead. The camera is just able to get between the two reflectors which is why the compact is small on the sensor in the before shot. I really needed that bit of light on the edge around the actual makeup.
Pretty unbelievable that there's a APS-C sensor in the NEX-3N body, which is only slightly larger than my Canon S90 P&S' body.
Ich habe des öfteren darüber nachgedacht, warum Hunde ein derart kurzes Leben haben, und bin zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass dies aus Mitleid mit der menschlichen Rasse geschieht; denn da wir bereits derart leiden, wenn wir einen Hund nach zehn oder zwölf Jahren verlieren, wie groß wäre der Schmerz, wenn sie doppelt so lange lebten?

Architect: James Herbert Brownell (1962)
Developer: Pearce & Co.
Builder: Fergin-Griffin Co.
Location: San Diego (Pacific Beach), CA
Brownell was an architect based in Corona Del Mar, just up the road in Orange County. These sixteen homes demonstrate an ingenious solution to a series of narrow, sloping lots with views on one side. The solution was to build them as row homes, and push them as far up the hill as possible to maximize the views.
This is from an ad that appeared in the local newspaper at the time.
Working on this, know it doesn't show really a lot of detail and generic. The plan is to develop it out into a full family with a thin to this being the heavy. We will see how it goes. I have all the uppercase sketched out but need to do lowercase which will be hell.

My recently acquired Walther PPK .32 ACP pistol.
Just for the curious, PPK stands for Polizei Pistole Kriminal Modell or Police Pistol Detective Model. It was first issued in 1931 in 7.65mm (.32 ACP) and made to be used for undercover police work. They were also issued to German military police, Luftwaffe and Nazi Party members during WWII. Hitler committed suicide with his PPK. Also famous for being James Bond's sidearm.
Most PPKs in the US were made under license by INTERARMS or Smith & Wesson (which is who made this PPK) due to laws on importing firearms this small.
(Note: This is a PPK and not a PPK/S, which uses a larger frame to hold an extra round of ammo)
A pair of GX85s with the 12-35 and 35-100 Vario collapsing zooms along with the Oly 12/2, Panny 20/1.7, and Panny 8mm fisheye. Still weighs close to four pounds though!
The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
One has to admire the expertise of Canon when it comes to compacts. The APS system was a failure, yet, Canon APS camera were best -sellers, the designs were very interesting. While others regarded making APS cameras as unwanted chore, Canon presented APS cameras that were inovative and sophisticated.
The Ixus line, was a star, and stardom continue during the digital age, right to the present day. I thought this camera was a digital model, the design is so fresh, so little changed.
The Canon Ixus Z 70 is a little class act, heavy, brushed stainless steel body, sophisticated lens with 2 aspheric elements.
Shame that APS film is so hard to find, I would like to try this second generation Ixus.
Dear friends, you are more than welcome to visit my flickr.
These are some pictures regarding my second Lego MOC set named Military series.
This set includes:
(1) Chibi Batquad (The original moccer: sok117). A very stylish compact ATV made by sok117. After observavtion of several pictures, I made a replica first and then modified many parts of it. Thanks to you- sok117.
(2) Batmobile (The original moccer: lost_scotsman): I have used flickr to share pictures for long, and have always acquired some great concept as well as ideas from many fantastic moccer from all over the world. This result of this batmobile is one of them. Again, many modifications have made to it, and I quite love what it is right now.
(3) Bat Sand Buggy: This is a MOC that built from scratch by myself. I then put joints to the front wheel to make them able to turn. As a matter of fact, the part I like most about is its protective net on the cockpit. If possible, please take a close look at some little touches that I made on this vehicles. I believe you will enjoy them.
(4) Bat Tank: Actually, most of the components and parts on this tank is from the official set 76055, so you may as well say this is an alternative build. However, I also used quite a few extra/ additional bricks to complete it. I am pretty glad how it finally turned out, especially the shape and style of it.
(5) Batsub: The idea is from the official set 76027. The thickness of the original set doesn't make it look strong/ bulky enough; Hence, making it has a chucky appearance became my priority. This batsub is absolutely one of my favorites among all my mocs.
(6) Batcopter: Obviously, i didn't made a big difference on this batcopter, and you probably know already this batcopter's prototype is the official set-76054. Yes, it is shorter and bulkier. I hope I successfully gave it a menacing look.
Thank you so much for viewing my Lego works. More photos of other sets are coming in soon. My only intention is to share. Hope you like these cute toys. peace. :)

Porst compact-reflex with Porst Color Reflex Auto MC 1.4/55 G
My first "modern" M42-SLR from Porst, the Porst compact-reflex, which is Cosina CSM. This copy is only named compact-reflex, but there many cameras with a further identifier, like S, SP, AM, OC, OCN, OE, OS, OV and probably some more. It would be painful to assign those cameras to the specific Cosina model, but I think the camera above and the S/SP have M42 thread mount, the others Pentax K-mount.
For sure it is no high-end camera, but it's fine. Full electronical shutter from 4 s to 1/1000 s and one mechanical time, 1/50 s. The self-timer also looks mechanical but it works completely electronically, you can't cock it until the shutter is cocked or in position "B", and it is combined with a mirror lock-up. Viewfinder with split-screen and illuminated under/over indicator for exposure metering. Yes, the metering is a bit different compared with other cameras, where you have to stop down for metering with a DOF-button which also switches the meter on. When you press the shutter button half-way on this camera, the aperture closes and the meter is switched on. If you release the shutter again, the meter is switched off, but the aperture stay closed. If you want to open the aperture again, you have to press the silver "aperture release button" next to the lens. It's easy to confuse this button with a DOF-button. It's a clever operation, better than the one on some old Chinon cameras, where you have to close the aperture with the force of your finger via the shutter buttton.
