Anachronism floppy disk being cleaned with the little men (image does not exceed 3in . HMM folks have a great day .
C'est en fait une petite création personnelle à partir d'éléments de disquettes 3"1/2. J'avais engrangé pas mal de disquettes et je ne les avais toujours pas mises à la poubelle. Geste écolo oblige, j'ai séparé le plastique du métal avant de les jeter et je me suis dit qu'avec la petite partie métallique gris métallisé qui servait de cache à la fente de lecture et le disque lui-même, il y avait matière à créer des compositions picturales. Voilà la petite histoire.
It's in fact a little personal creation from disk elements 3 "1/2. I had earned lots of disks and I still had not put in the trash. Gesture green oblige, I separated the plastic of metal before throwing them and I thought that with the small metallic gray metal part that served as hiding the reading slot and the disc itself, there were material to create pictorial compositions. This is the short story.

Last week I attended the Sony World Photography Awards Gala in London and during a little sparetime I just had to shoot my own version of this beautiful wooden spiral staircase in the local citizenM hotel.
Conceived and designed by artist Aidan Shingler, this 21st Century Stone Circle and Celestial Amphitheatre is intended to inspire, entertain, engage and educate.
This is an ordinary cd disk that I placed water drops on and in complete darkness, 'painted' it using a small LED pin-light. I had to use a 10-stop ND filter and a cable release to allow for a long exposure. I did a few shots using different colored lights and this was the first one of the series.

With each of its nine tails, the Yako Slizer embodies a different element of the Planet Slizer. Equipped with powerful arms, hidden rocket pods in its legs, and nine throwing arms, the Yako Slizer is a threatening force that combines Yokai legends and folklore with raw mechanical power.
I bought too many Throwbot arms. This is another one of my MOCs that basically boils down to "let's shove two unrelated things together and see what happens." In this case, I combined the concept of a Nine-tailed fox with the old Throwbot line. I've been wanting to do a Kitsune themed character for a while, and I have been wanting (and encouraged) to do another Slizer build after old Dusty in 2016, so I did both. This guy is weird, but his articulation is pretty good. He uses a lot of building techniques I have never used before. He was a bit of a pain to photograph because he's pretty darn big. I'm happy with how he turned out.
Griffon vultures have been used as model organisms for the study of soaring and thermoregulation. The energy costs of level flight tend to be high, prompting alternatives to flapping in larger birds. Vultures in particular utilize more efficient flying methods such as soaring. Compared to other birds, which elevate their metabolic rate to upwards of 16 times their basal metabolic rate in flight, soaring griffon vultures expend about 1.43 times their basal metabolic rate in flight. Griffon vultures are also efficient flyers in their ability to return to a resting heart rate after flight within ten minutes.
As large scavengers, griffon vultures have not been observed to seek shelter for thermoregulation. Vultures use their bald heads as a means to thermoregulate in both extreme cold and hot temperatures. Changes in posture can increase bare skin exposure from 7% to 32%. This change allows for the more than doubling of convective heat loss in still air. Griffon vultures have also been found to tolerate increased body temperatures as a response to high ambient temperatures. By allowing their internal body temperature to change independently of their metabolic rate, griffon vultures minimize their loss of water and energy in thermoregulating. One study in particular (Bahat 1995) found that these adaptations have allowed the Griffon vulture to have one of the widest thermal neutral zones of any bird.
It declined markedly throughout the 19th–20th centuries in much of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, mainly due to direct persecution and "bycatch" from the poisoned carcasses set for livestock predators (Snow and Perrins 1998, Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). In some areas a reduction in available food supplies, arising from changes in livestock management practices, also had an impact (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). It is very highly vulnerable to the effects of potential wind energy development (Strix 2012) and electrocution has been identified as a threat (Global Raptors Information Network 2015). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for veterinary purposes pose a threat to this species. One case of suspected poisoning caused by flunixin, an NSAID, was recorded in this species in 2012 in Spain (Zorrilla et al. 2015). Diclofenac, a similar NSAID, has caused severe declines in Gyps vulture species across Asia.
