Well, I did manage to get four outfits in for dressing/photo sessions today, but I will definitely not get them all posted today. Here's the first--the gray and white t-shirt dress from Target, worn for the first time with the corset and looking better than I think it ever has.
In order to save some set-up time, I didn't hang a backdrop, so I edited one in on these. May not do it for the rest of the shoot...takes too much time. Accessories are red and white jewelry, white hose, and gray fabric pumps.
managing to finally get a model in, well my brother, i had a wee play about with a few rock n roll shots in homage to Liam Gallagher!
The wildflower bloom in Death Valley National Park was pretty dismal in 2013, but I did manage to find a few small blooms.

More of your brilliant pics. I've managed a rough 'reflection' pairing, with a buildings theme down the middle. Hopefully.
Incidentally, if you use BigHugeLabs' Mosaic Maker, be warned that the Flickr authentication didn't work for me (took me back to BHL home page), so be sure to SAVE your Mosaic (and the text box!).

The Africa Center’s Managing Security Resources in Africa (MSRA) seminar held in Washington, DC is providing a capacity building opportunity for practitioners and policy-makers responsible for resource management in Africa’s security sector by reinforcing many of the important lessons learned during the last decade.
This morning I managed to get the second coat of paint on the window sills. I'm not very impressed with the finish - seems to show quite a lot of brush strokes - but it'll do for now. I don't like the paint, as it's very runny (I'm more used to quick-dry, non-drip paint) but I bought it for it's promises on the tin. Time will tell if they speak the truth or not! I'll keep my receipt, just in case :-)
I also got our household accounts up to date (and my sister's), did some washing, shopping, ironing, collected the CHEQS Magazines, posted two parcels, communicated with various people re. family stuff, village hall, Toddlers, and the magazine adverts. And watched a bit of telly this evening.
Managed to get this shot in Greece just before a brief rain storm hit. Which meant i had to peg it back to the beach house.

During the record breaking snowstorm, some people went out to build snowmen, others took walks around the Mall, and a few may have braved the elements in order to show off their best gear at an ugly sweater party. Robert sat inside hacking on Managing News, and then built this dashboard feature to help stay on top of it all.

Bizzarrini also managed a scaled-down 5300 GT project. Designed for GM-Opel, it was based on Opel 1900 platform. Bizzarrini's proposal was more aggressive and good looking. It was a baby-looking 5300 GT. The production Opel GT was designed by factory stylists and was less aggressive but still beautiful. Bizzarrini then decided to build the car himself. Around 17 prototypes were completed. The car is officially named as the Bizzarrini 1900 GT Europa. One of these cars has a barchetta body. Some cars are powered by 1300 and 1600 four cylinder engines sourced from GM, Alfa Romeo and FIAT. There is even a highly developed racing version with SPICA fuel injection system. (Wikipedia)
Managed to find some time to go and take photos in the city today. It was raining, but I wanted some dark and moody shots so I was quite satisfied with the weather.
I also found the time to write a new post on my blog about an ever-ongoing photographic argument (I'm not going to reveal it here, go to my blog and read the article)
Managed to get a pre-release Soundwave Deluxe Figure from ROTF Transformers Movie 2009.
Sadly there is a defect on the left thigh of this figure which is placed wrongly. However, I went on to repaint this figure, can't bother much about it. Can't wait to try painting this figure.

Managed a few shots at the Lockkeeper Keynsham when kids and the wife were all busy at school!
I have seen this shot from Lee/Ratters before and wanted to give it a go.
I had just been swimming (not here!) and the towel was in the car so thought why not
Constructive critique very welcome, I am keen to learn how to improve
Managing to do as little as possible in this current heat, I have spent the last three afternoons attempting to get a shot of the hummingbirds visiting the Bee Balm in the backyard. Well... out of the 100 or so frames shot so far, this is the only one close to being sharp. Anyhow, it has me more determined now to keep trying.
I managed to grab a couple of shots whilst I was at the track day today, this is a quick handheld panorama showing a collection of some of the ferrari's that were available for people to take out on the track.
There's only one Lambo in this shot though as they were by far the most popular cars to head onto the track with during the course of the day.
10 shots handheld, stitched using CS5 for a change to see how it fares. Not convinced on its ability to level horizons as well as Hugin, but that's probably more to do with my CS5 skills in fairness.

Lyme Park is a large estate located south of Disley, Cheshire. The estate is managed by the National Trust and consists of a mansion house surrounded by formal gardens, in a deer park in the Peak District National Park.[1] The house is the largest in Cheshire,[2] and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.[3]
The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. It remained in the possession of the Legh family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust. The house dates from the latter part of the 16th century. Modifications were made to it in the 1720s by Giacomo Leoni, who retained some of the Elizabethan features and added others, particularly the courtyard and the south range. It is difficult to classify Leoni's work at Lyme, as it contains elements of both Palladian and Baroque styles.[a] Further modifications were made by Lewis Wyatt in the 19th century, especially to the interior. Formal gardens were created and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house, gardens and park have been used as locations for filming and they are open to the public. The Lyme Caxton Missal is on display in the Library.
The land now occupied by Lyme Park was granted to Piers Legh and his wife Margaret D'anyers, by letters patent dated January 4, 1398, by Richard II, son of the Black Prince. Margaret D'anyers' grandfather, Sir Thomas D'anyers, had taken part in retrieving the standard of the Black Prince at the Battle of Crécy in 1346, and was rewarded with annuity of 40 marks a year by the Black Prince, drawn on his Cheshire estate, and which could be exchanged for land of that value belonging to the Black Prince. Sir Thomas died in 1354, and the annuity passed to his nearest surviving kin, his granddaughter Margaret, who in 1388 married the first Piers Legh (Piers Legh I). Richard II favoured Piers and granted his family a coat of arms in 1397, and the estate of Lyme Handley in 1398 redeeming the annuity. However, Piers was executed two years later by Richard's rival for the throne, Henry Bolingbroke.[6]
When in 1415 Sir Piers Legh II was wounded in the Battle of Agincourt, his mastiff stood over and protected him for many hours through the battle. The mastiff was later returned to Legh's home and was the foundation of the Lyme Hall Mastiffs. They were bred at the hall and kept separate from other strains, figuring prominently in founding the modern breed. The strain died out around the beginning of the 20th century.[7][8]
The first record of a house on the site is in a manuscript folio dated 1465, but that house was demolished when construction of the present building began during the life of Piers Legh VII, in the middle of the 16th century.[5] This house, by an unknown designer, was L-shaped in plan with east and north ranges; piecemeal additions were made to it during the 17th century. In the 1720s Giacomo Leoni, an architect from Venice, added a south range to the house creating a courtyard plan, and made other changes.[3] While he retained some of its Elizabethan features, many of his changes were in a mixture of Palladian and Baroque styles.[2] During the latter part of the 18th century Piers Legh XIII bought most of the furniture which is in the house today. However, the family fortunes declined and the house began to deteriorate. In the early 19th century the estate was owned by Thomas Legh, who commissioned Lewis Wyatt to restore the house between 1816 and 1822. Wyatt's alterations were mainly to the interior, where he remodelled every room.[9] Leoni had intended to add a cupola to the south range but this never materialised.[10] Instead, Wyatt added a tower-like structure (a hamper) to provide bedrooms for the servants. He also added a one-storey block to the east range, containing a dining-room.[2] Later in the century William Legh, 1st Baron Newton, added stables and other buildings to the estate, and created the Dutch Garden.[9] Further alterations were made to the gardens by Thomas Legh, 2nd Baron Newton and his wife during the early 20th century.[11] In 1946 Richard Legh, 3rd Baron Newton, gave Lyme Park to the National Trust.wikipedia
Managed by the Nature Conservancy, this 1,600-acre nature preserve is located in Preston County, West Virginia and Garrett County, Maryland. From the Nature Conservancy site - "A window into ice ages past, Cranesville Swamp is located in a "frost pocket," an area where the surrounding hills capture moisture and cold air that conspire to create a landscape more reminiscent of habitat found much further north in Canada. Given Cranesville Swamp’s lush forest and wetland, it’s not surprising that it is home to an exceptional variety of animals. In total, more than 50 rare plants and animals live at Cranesville." Did not see a ton of birds, mostly they were high up in the trees - along with the squirrels. But I did see a hairy woodpecker and a few butterflies. Still, it was a nice day to be in the preserve on my visit, Thursday August 10th, 2017.
I managed to get a hell of a laceration (usage?) in my hand today at work. Metal roof panels with very sharp edges. The ONE time I didn't wear my gloves. Sigh.
Managed to track down the owners of some of the rarest cars in Singapore.
I have a personal affection towards DC2s as I have a DC2 VTi-R myself.
