At least an interesting Samsung camera (sort of). This AF Slim has its eyes set on the Konica Big Mini or A4. The design is cool for a Samsung, but subdued, it carries a yellow sticker saying "Good Design", just in case you missed.
It is a compact camera, but not small as the Olympus Mju:II. still, it offers some nice specs, like the auto macro-mode, the camera automatically detects close by subjects and switchs to macro mode, focusing from .35 cm (I think). There are all the normal flash option, plus a B setting. There is also a continuous shooting mode, 2 self-timer modes and an intervalometer 60 min and 30 min. Nice classy touch is a dedicated function for rewinding the film, no pen tip here needed.
I wish I knew more about the lens or shutter, but I couldn't find any information about this little camera
The original G.I.Joe tank was a compact motorized tank ("MOtorized BAttle Tank"), with a spot for just a single figure in the Commander's cuppola, but its molded details suggested at least one hatch for additional crew in the hull. I didn't grow up with a MOBAT, and if I had it might loom more significantly in my mind. Instead, I look at the original toy and it seems frustratingly small and lacking - certainly a generation behind the much cooler looking Mauler.
The original MOBAT has a mid-Cold War look to it, like a sort of awkward representation of an MBT70 mixed with with a little M60. I wanted to make it look a lot less old fashioned, but similar enough to the original that it would be recognizable. So I kept some of the unusual aesthetic features of the original - like the tracks not quite running the full length of the hull, the cupola in the very middle of the turret, and the super wide base of the gun barrel. As another nod to the old-school roots of the MOBAT, I worked in some old dark gray, a sorely missed color, that Lego has phased out many years ago, that I don't get to use nearly as often as I'd like to.
The idea to make it modular came about when I was trying to think of other words to replace the redundant "motorized" in the original vehicle's name. And of course once it occurred to me, imagining it as a modular combat system was a whole lot of fun.
Of course I considered designing my MOBAT as a realistic (and much larger) MBT with a full interior for three or even four crew. In the end, I embraced the original toy concept of a decidedly small tank, and I've brought into into the 21st Century and explained its small size by making it unmanned.
I usually pride myself on fitting figs inside my vehicles, but building a tank without a crewed interior is much easier, and doing so allowed me to build my MOBAT to scale with some of my other early era Joe armor (it is smaller than the Mauler, but bigger than the Wolverine). I also was able to fit in a nifty roadwheel suspension system that I'm really pleased with that simply wouldn't have fit if I had insisted on fitting in a driver and a manned turret basket. An actual MBT with a full crew is something I've wanted to do for a while for my Joes, but they'll have to wait a while.

Definitely the best film compact I have ever owned, and probably one of the best film compacts ever. Got mine from The Camera Workshop at Peninsula Plaza -- once I had it in my hands, it was clear just how well-built it was, and how well maintained it had been by its previous owner. A nice tight package with superb mechanical finishing.
Just got back my first roll of film from the developer, and I'm really impressed by the sharpness, colour rendition and exposure of the pics. The most annoying thing about this camera is the fact that you have to re-set the camera's flash settings every time you switch it on if you want to fire without the flash, but I found the flash really well implemented -- it seems to nail the exposure every time, and practically none of my shots suffered from that hard contrast look that typical on-body flashes give you.
Here is a fairly young rubbish compactor station provided by Veolia to a homemakers shopping centre in Artarmon. The big blue Wastech hook lift container has been there for a while and receives cardboard recycling from a stationary auger compactor. On the other hand, the mini hook portable blade compactor had only just been delivered and installed for mixed waste, which I’m sure consists mostly of plastic packaging. The 1100L on the left was part of a small group of bins awaiting removal after being replaced by the mini packer, they would sit under that pair of grey chutes coming out of the wall. In this photo you also get a look at the independent power system which allows the mini packer to function, sitting just to the left of it. Usually the motor, pump and hydraulics are all integrated into portable packer units, but this mini packer (I guess due to its small size) has the drive system existing externally as a separate system. In most cases the collection worker disconnects a single electrical plug when removing portable units, but in this situation the driver has to disconnect the “packer in place” plug and also unhooks two hydraulic lines, seen sitting just above the red bucket which is there to catch any hydraulic fluid that drips out.

The name says it all, This is trully a deluxe camera, very classical in design, but very high quality in terms of build and performance. Everything one needs to take high quality pictures is present: Fujinon lens, automatic parallax correction and a feature inherited from the V series, the focusing is done by means of a wheel, next to the viewfinder, very neat!

20170813_5267_1D3-50 Arahura stamping (225/365)
I was photographing a couple of ship stampings for a facebook group today and they turned out to be the only shots taken today, so here it is for my photo a day.
The interisland ferry line had a stamp machine on each ship and you inserted a NZ 5c piece (now gone from our currency) and a $1 to operate the machine. The 5c piece was squashed and the pattern embossed onto it.

Compact is a relative term; as dictionaries go, this is pretty big, but compared to the full-size Oxford English Dictionary it's pretty small. This is the whole of the twenty-volume OED in one volume. The paper is very thin and the type is tiny – so small that a magnifying glass comes in the slipcase.

Perhaps one of the most beautiful and exotic cars ever to come out of Ford, yet its roots are surprisingly humble. The Ford Consul Capri took the usual Ford Consul and embelleshied it with beautiful crisp lines, a spacious interior and magnificent chrome ornamentation to make it look less like it should be in Brighton, but more Beverley Hills.
The Capri Project was code named "Sunbird" and took design elements from the Ford Thunderbird and the Ford Galaxie Starliner. It was instigated by Sir Horace Denne, Ford's Sales Director. He wanted a "co-respondent's" car to add glamour to the product line. It was designed by Charles Thompson who worked under Neale and had sweeping lines, a large boot space and a pillarless coupé roof.
On its September announcement the Consul Capri was for export only but went on sale to the domestic British market in January 1962. The bodies were sub-assembled by Pressed Steel Company, with only final assembly of the drivetrain taking place at Dagenham and from February 1963 at Halewood. It was intended as part of the Ford Classic range of cars but the body was complex and expensive to produce. With new production methods, time demands from Dearborn and a need to match opposition manufacturers in price, the Ford Classic and Consul Capri were almost doomed from the start. The Ford Classic was made from 1961 to 1963, and replaced by the Cortina-derived Ford Corsair.
The Consul Capri included Ford Classic De-Luxe features, including four headlights, variable speed wipers, 9.5in front disc brakes, dimming dashboard lights, and a cigar lighter. The four-speed transmission was available with either a column or floor change.
Initially fitted with a 1340cc 3 main bearing 109E engine, the early cars were considered underpowered and suffered from premature crankshaft failure. Engine capacity was increased in August 1962 to 1498cc (model 116E) and this engine with its new 5 bearing crankshaft was a vast improvement. The first 200 Capris were left-hand-drive cars for export including Europe and North America. In Germany at the 1961 Frankfurt Auto Show, Ford sold 88 Capris.
In February 1963 a GT version (also 116E) was announced. The new GT engine, developed by Cosworth, featured a raised compression ratio to 9:1, a modified head with larger exhaust valves, an aluminium inlet manifold, a four branch exhaust manifold and, most noticeably, a twin-choke Weber carburettor – this being the first use of this make on a British production car. The same engine was announced for use in the Ford Cortina in April 1963.
Overall the car was very expensive to produce and in the latter part of its production was running alongside the very popular Ford Cortina. Sales were disappointing and the Consul Capri was removed from sale after two and a half years with 19,421 sold, of which 2002 were GT models. 1007 cars were sold in 1964, the last year of production, 412 of them being GTs. The Consul Capri was discontinued in July 1964. The Consul Capri is one of the rarest cars from Ford of Great Britain.
A Capri was tested by the British The Motor magazine in 1962 and had a top speed of 79.0 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 22.6 seconds. A fuel consumption of 36.7 miles per gallon was recorded, with a cost of £915 new.
The plain vanilla styling of a Rambler American, seen against a backdrop of Floridian flora in Sarasota. This is a third-generation model, produced between 1964 and 1969. By the late 1960s, sales of the once-popular marque had stalled, its basic economy selling point no longer appealing to US buyers. With a falling market share, parent company American Motors was forced to re-assess its marketing strategies.
