On the website you find another new article about shooting with the Leica Q2 camera. "Leica Q2 - it is that good!"
I am not a fanboy of any brand. I use a camera as a tool in order to get the results that I want. And this camera is delivering exactly what I want. Here is a short article about this experience.

This image is for Richard RichardK2020 a Flickr friend who along with myself is a bit of a fanboy for Olympus gear. Quite some time ago he mentioned to me just how highly he rated the 45mm f1.2 Pro lens. I already had the 25mm Pro lens and I knew how good that was but to buy the 45mm, well, lets just say they do not come cheap. Well by hook and by crook I managed to acquire one about a month back. And Richard, you were right all along, it is superb. So this is the first image I've posted with the 45. There will be more, that I'm sure of.

PS. The issue is NSFW, and you may have to sign in to view it.
Please do,it is an amazing creative issue that explores the spectrum of love in SL.
Fans of military aviation all have their favorite units, and I openly confess to being a bit of a fanboy when it comes to the Search and Rescue unit at MCAS Unit. These marines and sailors are often the difference between life and death for military personnel, law enforcement, and civilians who get seriously injured in the unforgiving desert within a 150-mile radius of Yuma.
I treat it as an honor to be able to tell the story of any military unit and what they do, but I'm especially excited to have had the opportunity to write about Yuma SAR in the most recent issue of AirForces Monthly magazine: airforcesmonthly.keypublishing.com/the-magazine/view-issu...
I am a big fanboy of sea stacks. These isolated outcrops of vertical rocks speak to my lunacy. I can almost hear them wail a hymn to evade pain as their eroding resilience stands up to the ocean's constant and often violent hammering. Most have no face (some though do), but they all have stories. Some speak of the sunsets they have witnessed, while others narrate attrition imposed by rip tides of time. These sea stack tales float like mist in the salty sea breeze; if you care, you could easily pluck out a few for your soul.
I have photographed many sea stacks, some famous and others beautiful. There are many more sea stacks I would like to visit; some are far, some very far. But closer to home, in Bandon, Oregon, I had the privilege of meeting many sea stacks (above) that stood tall together, without a damn concern for the outcome of time.
CP 7016 leads an 8-114 (previously 2-230) through the curve on the approach to Lovekin with one of the nearby farms providing the backdrop. Far be it from me to fanboy over a corporation, but as both KCS and CPKC become more common up here I have to admit it's cool to see the original beaver shield logo still plying home rails.

Thanks to all for viewing, faving and/or commenting! Much appreciated! L
Happy Caturday!
Oisín and I turn into fanboys. This was taken after we opened for the Chieftains at Marymoor Park in Seattle.
Since the b&n fanboys seem to be out in force this evening making insane comments like how stripes and green and black junk look better than warbonnets, I figured it was time to dig one out of the archives and remind the young folks of how great the ATSF is.
ATSF 844 rolling up on the south end of Saginaw, TX with a mixed bag of intermodal and automotive business.
Sure looks better than any orange/black or piss brick yellow crap we have today. I'd chase a clean set of warbonnets from KC all the way to California.
Howdy! xD
Here's an alternative, more artsy angle of my MOC 'In the Fields of Lothal' from Star Wars Rebels. That thing blew up, and is like, my third most popular post. I always get a chuckle at what posts get the views; like when my '100 Followers!' post got on the explore page. -_-
Anywaaay, I felt like posting this pretty different shot. I try to keep my page free from clutter, so I may end up privatizing this later, bur here it is for the time being. I would also like to mention that in my original post, I said the white Loth-cat didn't appear until season 4. . .I was so freaking wrong. I even vaguely knew I was wrong as I typed it, I was just too lazy to check. It first appears in the season 2 episode (I can't remember the name, and guess what? I'm too lazy to check, lol) where Ryder Azadi first shows up. Well, I got that mistake off my fanboy conscience.
So, uh.. yeah. I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Leave a comment if you feel like it. Thanks for looking. :)

I was an engineer once. I like that I can fix things however...
While some fanboys couldn’t have enough talent if it died on their doorstep. I used a smaller drill to do the air vents and make it more accurate. Unlike 1079 who challenges me to accuracy but can’t do it himself
This is a little teaser for my next moc.

I wanted to make something that was completely bricks in frame. Half because I hate editing photos and half because I'm such a Keith Goldman fanboy. Hope you enjoy the sci-fi nonsense.

My Nan was a prodigious collector of useless things. For instance, she had 17 rolls of the single ugliest contact paper in creation - a kitchen themed hodgepodge of images. For what purpose did she have it? We don't know. But we know that she never used it because it was still in the wrapper. So the question remains why did she keep it? Why did she keep the 32 vases of fake flowers? We can't know.
(These are the things we miss.)
In my household pink is not my favorite colour, I'm a lime-green fanboy :-) BUT: In nature I love all the pink flowers! And I love the music from P!NK :-))
Happy Smile on Saturday :-)

Though there was no obvious connection in what I was doing, with what he had done. I guess I was an inept fanboy, not sure of what to do with what he was passing forward. But then 'Infrathin' allows for anything. It is all-forgiving. And why wouldn't infinity absorb everything? But, this was a lesson I hadn't learnt yet.
It was NYC in 1990. Marcel had been dead since 1968, but he was still always there. I was smitten. I liked his non-judgement, that not allowing 'taste' to intervene.
It was just as well, really.
Either way, I loved his 'Infrathin' and his (and Man Ray's) 'Dust Breeding'. I still do. Those two expressions alone were enough to generate 'Hope' through a life chaotically lived.
This was, and is, more than enough.
He was also Rrose Selavy, another miracle.
We all, apparently and eventually, get to choose the video it seems.
I have an exhibition opening in Dublin this evening, just 3 pieces in a group show. I will not be there, but I hope it goes well.
The titles of my three pieces are:
1: ‘The Sodomy Piece’,
2: ‘ Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin,
3: ‘Is minic a bhris béal duine a shrón’
Translations, from the Gaelic, of numbers 2 and 3:
2: There's no fireside like your own fireside (An Irish version of 'There's no place like home').
3: It's often a man's mouth will break his nose.
A cool caterpillar that I only became familiar with two years ago, the end of October into early November is when they can be found on Goldenrod on the Blakeley battlefield...and I lucked up and spotted this one only a few yards from where I parked the other day!
Call me a Voigtlander Fanboy ... this was taken with the 65mm APO on my Z5 wide open. This is probably my favorite Voigtlander yes it is a bit of a chunk but, it integrates nicely on the Z while not autofocus pulling focus is not much of a problem. As you can see it is sharp enough but, renders very nicely IMO.
"Un día tu me prometiste que cualquier cosa que yo hiciera, tu la comprenderías y me darías la razón. Por Favor, trata de entender mi muerte. Yo no estaba hecho para vivir mas tiempo. Estoy enormemente cansado, decepcionado y triste, y estoy seguro de que cada día que pase, cada una de estas sensaciones o sentimientos me Irán matando lentamente. Entonces prefiero acabar de una vez".

Now I know this comes way out of left field from my typical DC pieces, but I just got back from seeing the Winter Soldier (after first watching Cap 1 the night before) and felt inspired to do a little fanboy-ing.
I may be all for DC, but Marvel always knows it's way into my heart. (If you haven't seen cap 2, I don't even know why you're waiting. It's so good!)
With Nikon DSLR and AF-S 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 G.
The recent Nikon double recall on their newly released Z8 really showed the ugly side of Nikon fanboyism as they came out in full force to deflect and distort facts. No other camera brand users even come close with such ridiculous cultish behavior.
Some Z8 buyers in many cases had to send in their cameras twice, 1st for the lens mount fault and then after getting their cameras back had to send it in again for the straps lug problem. Nikon has had their fair share of faulty products over the years but the most egregious case was for the shutter mechanism leaking oil onto the sensor in their budget model D600. Nikon kept totally mum until a class action lawsuit was successfully filed where the affected buyers got a new D610 as replacement.
1) Nikon shills in typical fashion tried to downplay the matter claiming that both problems affect only very few units until people tried keying in a range of serial numbers on Nikon’s Z8 recall webpage revealing that practically all units sold were impacted.
2) Nikon shills bent over backwards with their mental gymnastics claiming that their cameras though involved in the recall are all working just fine and that Nikon issued the recall nonetheless as an abundance of caution. The fact that there’s no problem now does not mean the problems already acknowledged by Nikon won’t develop later and the serial numbers involved in the recall have a very wide range hence it’s not a limited batch problem. Future buyers of used Z8 will do well to check if the camera was in fact affected and if so, already sent in for the fix.
3) Nikon brand apologists tried to deflect the reputational damage by claiming that other camera brands also made faulty cameras or that cars have had more recalls than cameras. Fact is, the recall is on a $4,000 premium camera and not a budget model that was released merely a month before and not one, but 2 faults involving rather low tech basic parts were revealed resulting in many buyers having to send in their cameras twice for servicing. Can’t help but wonder what other faults remain undiscovered for the Z8.
4) Nikon shills claimed that they are not affected by the strap lugs failure because they don’t use them nevermind the fact that there are many others who do. Worse still they even claimed that it’s the other brands’ fanbois that are breaking the Z8 on purpose just to discredit Nikon! IMO this strap lugs fault is the bigger of the 2 problems as this points to a potential design flaw, what exactly did Nikon change in the design of this basic part in the Z8? A straps lug failure can result in both your camera and mounted lens dropping thus sending both smashing on impact with the ground.
5) In typical Nikon shills extreme brand apologism, they blame users for the strap lugs fault, just as they pushed the blame for peeling grips in the Z6 and Z7 to users’ uncut fingernails.
6) Amazingly these Nikon fanbois shills even attacked Nikon fanbois rumor site for posting about these Z8 faults, such is the ugliness of Nikon brand apologism. All said, one has to give credit where credit is due, the owner of the Nikon rumors site did well to warn users of the Z8 faults early on and stood up to the onslaught of extreme Nikon fanbois apologism from the worst Nikon shills.
I was very positive on the Z8 but it would appear that Nikon might have cut corners to arrive at its attractive price. The straps lug problem is likely a design flaw. It’s best to hold off buying this camera for a while in case there are other issues yet to be discovered and until it’s clear what kind of fix has been applied to the strap lugs problem. At any rate, I’ve said many times in the past that it’s best to buy a newly launched camera 6 months after its original release for any potential problems to reveal themselves.
This Z8 double recall episode is certainly disappointing, just as Nikon appeared to have made a major step forward with the Z8, they took 2 steps backwards.
way to many apple products, the rest are in the closet, i need to stop myself, so far I've been able to keep myself from getting an iPad.. the macbook air is what i really use most of the time when I'm at home or doing stuff on the go, the pro is what i use at work since i have to, its my work computer, i still use my 09 iMac a lot tho, its been a really good computer.
