21 discarded wine bottles in 100m of roadside verge
From the south-east corner multiple Pinot Grigio, to multiple Sauvignon Blanc in the middle, to the north-west end with a couple of Jacob's Creek and unsurprising empty ibuprofen packet, presumably related.
This one is, generally speaking, one of the most satisfactory. I've made a few other of the whirling-shaft genre but this one just cam out right. Now, for another one.....
Camera: Canon 30D
Lens: Canon 50mm f/1.8
A shot of my friends turntable against a substantially lit-from-behind glass tile wall. I loved how evenly lit the whole photograph turned out to be! This was captured during a live set.
This turntable busted out some classic hip hop jams!
God bless!

Metal bits for clipping the wooden bits of the stage floor together. The contraption is now decaying out the back of the Thebarton Theatre carpark.
These are some of the supporting builds from the Exo-Suit workshop I built.
I designed this in LDD, then ordered the parts and built a physical version. I built the rolling hing mechanism from scratch and it works beautifully. It's nice and compact, slightly futuristic and the hing has enough tension that it won't drop under it's own weight. I think I may like it better than the my Exo-suit itself!

Just to show how the cradle works. It is hard to see on this but the 'power coupling' lights up when in place, and the light shuts off as the cradle moves it forwards, out of position.

My Rolleiflex stopped working - the mirror had locked up and it was all jammed - thankfully someone knew who to call, and guided me through taking off the side panel, and pulling a release lever that brought the mirror back down. This camera used to be very much the in thing in the 1960s - it features an all mechanical mechanism, with discrete shutter speeds from "Bulb" through to 1000th/s - this bunch of mechanics deals with shutter release, timing, mirror flip and film winding - amazing piece of kit.
To transform from Paralyzer to Eliminator mode, two panels on the side are first released. Then the gun is tilted upwards and the trigger is slowly pulled.
To transform back from Eliminator to Paralyzer mode, the side panels are first lifted. Then the gun is tilted slightly downwards and the trigger is pulled quickly. The side panels are pushed back into place.
Sorry for the low quality... I don't have a video recorder as of right now.

After years of use, truck tailgates need a little attention. When you don't have the proper rod guide pieces, ty-wraps work in a pinch. And, of course, the tailgate opening mechanism will fail when you have 100 lbs. of something you need to put in the back of the truck and can't open the gate.
