More experimenting with contrasting black and white foodstuff done as research for a project I'll be presenting at Feast Boise: www.payitsquare.com/collect-page/63410
The original build is made by the talented YouTube creator Chubbybots, whose videos inspired me to start making my own builds.
I really like this build because it makes very clever use of all Light Bluish Grey Parts. (except the flat silver whip)
I wanted to make these instructions to get some practice with these interesting building techniques, and as a sort of a tribute to the original creator, and a small way to give back to the community.
Have a good day! 🚀

The gray hawk (Buteo plagiatus) or Mexican goshawk[2] is a smallish raptor found in open country and forest edges. It is sometimes placed in the genus Asturina as Asturina plagiata. The species was recently split by the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) from the gray-lined hawk. The gray hawk is found from Costa Rica north into the southwestern United States...The grey hawk is 46–61 cm (18–24 in) in length and weighs 475 g (16.8 oz) on average. The adult has a pale gray body, the tail is black with three white bands and the legs are orange. It is a solid, unpatterned gray on the upper parts...Immature birds have dark brown upperparts, a pale-banded brown tail, brown-spotted white underparts and a brown streaked buff head and neck. This species is quite short-winged, and has a fast agile flight for a Buteo. The call is a shrill whistled kleee-ooo...Gray hawks feed mainly on lizards and snakes, but will also take small mammals, birds and frogs. It usually sits on an open high perch from which it swoops on its prey, but will also hunt from a low glide. The nest is of sticks and built high in a tree. The usual clutch is one to three, usually two white to pale blue eggs.[3] The young take about 6 weeks to fledging.
Very close now, but still not an exact match.
Trying to calibrate and match my MBP LCD display to my old desktop Dell trinitron CRT. Got it surprisingly close after several attempts using Mac's built-in Calibration applet and a few custom techniques. For one: displaying gray bars spanning across both screens, and a 2.2 gamma map tiled as the background on both screens. Don't think it's possible to get them exactly matched because pure white on the CRT was always warm pinkish, and the LED-backlit MBP was always slightly greenish.
Also used my PowerShot zoomed in and unfocused on the gamma patch to help with setting the gamma and gray balance. I think it's more accurate and safer than going by eye alone — especially for small differences in bright whites.
Hopefully it's not all for naught, as i just ordered a 30" NEC SpectraView that should blow both of these out of the water as far as accuracy and give me 4x the screen area.

Gray Design Xhibitionist
A svéd tervező ezúttal is inkább egy ringatózó életstílust dizájnolt mintsem egy impresszív luxusjachtot. A fordított triman hajótest alapjaira tervezett 75 méteres szecessziós luxusbirodalom minden részletében kidolgozott - a hibrid meghajtástól a Baccarat világításig - és ezáltal hivalkodóan exhibicionista.

Lawrence Gray (1898-1970) was an American film actor of the silent screen. He co-starred with Hollywood's greatest female stars including Gloria Swanson and Marion Davies.
After serving in the Navy during World War I, Lawrence Gray began working in the technical field of the film industry at Lasky Studios, also working as an extra. He liked the job and decided to become an actor. Between 1925 and 1936, he appeared in over forty films. Gray performed in many B movies. He was also often partnered with Hollywood's biggest female stars such as Gloria Swanson in Stage Struck (Cecil B. DeMille, 1925) and The Untamed Lady (Frank Tuttle, 1926), Norma Shearer in After Midnight (Monta Bell, 1927) and Colleen Moore in Oh, Kay! (Mervyn LeRoy, 1928). Memorable is his part as the rich playboy Billy Caldwell in The Patsy (King Vidor 1928), who is overcome with sleep. At the same time, Marion Davies tries to get his attention with impersonations of Lilian Gish, Mae Murray, and Pola Negri. Somehow she manages to convince her family Billy has assaulted her while rather the opposite has happened.
Lawrence Gray's light and pleasing tenor voice enabled his easy transition from silent to musical films. He was Davies's co-singer in Marianne (Robert Z. Leonard, 1929), her talkie-debut. He contributed to the soundtrack of some musical films like Children of Pleasure (Harry Beaumont, 1930), in which he starred himself, and The Florodora Girl (Harry Beaumont, (1930), with again Davies. Gray also starred in It's a Great Life (Sam Wood, 1929), with the Duncan Sisters, and Sunny (William A. Seiter, 1930), with Marilyn Miller. Like in his silent films, Gray was either the leading man to the featured female star or a supporting player. His career in musicals ended in 1931 when their over-production caused audiences to lose interest. Lawrence 'Larry' Gray, often considered the ideal son or son-in-law, was devoted to his parents, who lived with him. In 1935, Gray married the Mexican Maria Luisa Figueroa. In 1936, he ended his Hollywood film career. For thirty-three years, Gray henceforth worked in Mexico as a coordinator between the Mexican and US film industries. Lawrence Gray died at age 71 in 1970 in Mexico City.

As the scientific name implies, gray tree frogs are variable in color owing to their ability to camouflage themselves from gray to green, depending on the substrate where they are sitting. The degree of mottling varies.[3] They can change from nearly black to nearly white. They change color at a slower rate than a chameleon. Dead gray tree frogs and ones in unnatural surroundings are predominantly gray. The female does not croak and has a white throat; however, the male does croak and has a black/gray throat. The female is usually larger than the male.
They are relatively small compared to other North American frog species, typically attaining no more than 1.5 to 2 in (3.8 to 5.1 cm). Their skin has a lumpy texture to it, giving them a warty appearance. They are virtually indistinguishable from the Cope's gray tree frog, H. chrysoscelis, the only readily noticeable difference being their calls. Cope's gray tree frog has a shorter, faster call.[4] The gray tree frog also has an extra set of chromosomes (4N), or 48 in total, and is called tetraploid gray tree frog in scientific circles. The Cope's gray tree frog, or diploid gray tree frog, retained its 2N (24) original chromosome set. Hybridization between these species results in early mortality of many larvae, but some individuals survive to adulthood though they have reduced fertility.[5]
Both H. chrysoscelis and H. versicolor have bright-yellow patches on their hind legs, which distinguishes them from other tree frogs, such as H. avivoca.[6] The bright patches are normally only visible while the frog is jumping. Both species of gray tree frogs are slightly sexually dimorphic. Males have black or gray throats, while the throats of the females are lighter.[7]
Tadpoles have rounded bodies (as opposed to the more elongated bodies of stream species) with high, wide tails that can be colored red if predators are in the system. Metamorphosis can occur as quickly as two months with optimal conditions. At metamorphosis, the new froglets will almost always turn green for a day or two before changing to the more common gray. Young frogs will also sometimes maintain a light green color and turn gray or darker green after reaching adulthood.
Last day for wildlife workshop and it was a great day! Started by finding a large black bear on the way into the park. It couldn’t have been in a better setting, as it was just in front of a huge boulder, standing in tall green grass eating, next to a weathered stump. As I was driving up from Mammoth, I jokingly told the participants in my car, “Well, now all we need is a Grizz with cubs!”, and upon entering Swan Flats there was Quad Mom, a large Grizzly bear, and her 3 cubs walking in the morning sunlight through the fields. One of the cubs was standing up looking at us in my first shot. We continued on through the park, and mid morning stopped at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone for some photos. I met a great family from Tulsa, OK, the Lee Family, and took some photos for them at the lower falls. They told us about a nearby elk kill and gray wolf near Gibbons Meadow. It sounded like a great site, so we immediately headed that way. The rest of the day was sitting up on the elk kill that had been done earlier in the morning by a beautiful gray wolf. She gorged herself and was still lying in the grass beside the river at 9pm when we left. On the opposite side of the road, a coyote was putting on a good show hunting. Similar to a fox, it would “pounce’ on it’s prey. Thanks to the Lee family for steering us toward a great site for an amazing chance of some wolf photos!
It really was a great experience with some fantastic photographers. Thanks to Aaron for the opportunity to assist his tour. I have been on tours with him before, and as always, it was a top notch workshop. All of the photographers were great to work with, and everyone got along very well. They were all experienced photographers, but I think they all walked away with some great shots and some good information on shooting wildlife and post processing.
Day 8 of 365: "Gray Day"
Being an artist for me is more than just capturing a pretty picture. A big part of what I love to do is capture beauty, but quite often that's my safety zone (which to be honest, I'm okay with). Lately, though, I've been wanting to push myself to capture the not-so-beautiful parts of life and have them tell a story and convey an emotion. Today's image is about showing the cold, gray, blah days that late autumn quite often has to offer.
In looking for the right location to photograph on the way home tonight, I realized that in photographing these not-so-beautiful days, that I could also capture the majestic vastness of the rural Midwest and what I really love about its landscape. Of course in that, I find a real beauty.
Production note: The duotone post-processing I did on this image, more specifically what I wanted to the clouds to look like, was inspired by the music videos ""Wicked Game," by Chris Isaak, "Cherish," by Madonna, "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" by Janet Jackson, and "In The Closet" by Michael Jackson, all directed by the great photographer Herb Ritts. To this day, his black and white and duotone video images (which always had the most amazing rolling clouds) are reflected in my work.
Also, today marks the beginning of week TWO of this project. 51 more weeks to go! (10/19/11)
