This photo is shot with a modified lens. I removed one of the glasses inside and turned the rear glass 180 degr. The picture has a bit of sharpness in the center and a very strange affect on the sides and the corners.
We are at this year's Moulton Bicycle Club annual weekend at the home of the late Alex Moulton (1920-2012) and the still thriving Moulton Bicycle Company.
A modified Mini with 305 wheels, a front rack (none was ever offered for sale), water bottle mounts, a wicker basket and minty green paintwork.
With barely a handful of Amrit Bharat trains operational, even purpose-modified GZB WAP5s like #35030 and #35029—originally built in Nov 2023 by CLW—are left underutilized, often lying dead or reassigned to other duties.
Seen here is the pair of 35029 and 35030 at Anand Vihar.
Spain, Eurofighter IPA4, marked C.16-20 / 11-91, seen arriving back to Getafe (LEGT) after a mission testing air to ground launch of dumb bombs. We can see a belly fuel tank that looks modified to carry photo equipment to record weapons launch and separation proccess.
I started weaving with a used 4" Beka loom and disliked it because of the floating heddle. I looked at the design of an Emilia (I now own one) and made a simple modification with $2 worth of wood from hobby lobby and large rubber bands from broccoli. I lashed a dowel to the top of the heddle to create a hanging bar. This improved functioning immensely and I was able to try out a lot of patterns while learning. You will need a drill or router to create the holes on the uprights. I used spring clips for the resting position. I also added apron bars to both the front and back "beams" using more of the dowel. I drilled holes though the "beams" and used waxed linen to tie on the dowels. I roll the cloth on a mini paint roller tube.

Everyone has their own way of modifying their cars. This example shows that within his particular culture, these modifications are likable and desirable. Other cultures and car groups (classic car guys) may not be very accepting of this car.
LUGNuts' founder Lino Martins has graciously given me permission to replicate his series of automotive illustrations based on various mixed alcoholic drinks.
The third in this series is a Lego -model replication of 'FrankenBerry' - 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

In Lino's own words:
"Here is my final installment of the holy trinity of cars. If you’ve been following my formula (advancing decades and increasingly larger rims) you may have predicted that Franken Berry would go in this direction. This is a 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme customized as a Donk. The donk phenomenon originated in the American south amongst the rap and hip hop scene. “Donk” is sort of a blanket term given to cars with outsized rims but depending on car model and decade, these typically full-sized American-made sedans can be categorized as donks, boxes, or bubbles with many other sub-categories as well. This ‘84 Cutlass is an example of a box hi-riser. There is nothing subtle about the candy sparkle pink paint scheme. Massive rims that each borrow design cues from Franken Berry’s eyes also feature strawberries on four of the spokes. Beefy truck axles are required to accommodate such large rims while truck horns configured below the front bumper gives this ride an attitude as big as everything else. While I designed this car myself it is not unheard of to have such graphics along the side. Many real-life donks feature fast food restaurant logos, candy or junk food themes. Donks are the youngest of the three car cultures featured so it makes sense that it represents “The Son” in this Holy Trinity. I truly had a blast drawing this triptych of vehicles and I look forward to drawing other odd pairs or trilogies. I have other artistic projects on the burner right now but if you have suggestions for other pairings for me to draw leave them in the comments. No guarantees, but who knows, maybe they’ll happen. Thanks for reading and liking my work."
This is a pentax manual lens. If you own one of the pentax DSLRs you know that the crippled KAF2 mount is incapable of reading the aperture setting and there are stupid little retarded methods of manual mode to barely let you use the lenses (so they can advertise that you can, but only *sort of*)
Being an engineering student, I naturally decided to take matters into my own hands. I don't have the money for auto lenses, especially not these nice pentax-m ones such as the 200mm f4 and the 50mm f1.4
Luckily, I few dremels later and I have converted my lenses to auto diaphragm! It really shouldn't be this easy.
And in all seriousness, what do you have to lose? If you mess up, its still just a manual lens.
The recessed pin presents problems. I don't have a machine shop and I cannot load in a spring loaded piston to reach it. This is the weak point of my dremel-tool workshop. A bif of steel wool hot glued in works for now. I wouldn't want to get it wet though.
And if drilling your lenses out makes you cringe, you can always put little pieces of scotch tape on the rim instead of holes. Its just an electrical contact, and the tape worked pretty well. Of course, you'll still have to deal with the nasty pin-3.
