Close-up shot of Raxxer's squad in action.
This is my entry for the public mission 20 of the 253rd Elite Legion RPG. Build time was four weeks.
The photographer Eadweard Muybridge is known for his photographs documenting subjects in motion–often against a gridded backdrop. In making* this image I inadvertently stumbled into thinking about what is for me a rather interesting variant on Muybridge's practice. That is, what if (as is the case of these two photographs) the photographs document the movement of the camera / photographer in relation to a static subject. In the case of this image we see the same subject–an underpass–from two different vantage points. The photographs were taken from a moving train. The "subject" appears to have changed, but it actually has not changed: the change is in the location of the camera / photographer. Hmm.
* Beyond taking the photographs I combined them and overlaid the grid and book page / spread in photoshop.

"World War 3 began on the 25th of August 2080, After the corruption and Bribery claims in the UN Council were proved true. Countries started their own empires. The war was mostly in Europe, where the once great European Union were now sending death threats to each other. Now as I record this message, 8 years after war broke out I am sending my best operative to end the war. Let us all hope he succeds in his mission. God save the Queen."

Objective one:
To eliminate Johnson, you must make your way into his fortified compound. It is located 2 miles West of Berlin and heavily fortified. After you drop, Make your way along the path system that surounds the compound. Old Pilons and Communication towers will indicate how close you are. The more the merryer. Look out for scout partols, although they consist of untrained idiots. They are no harm to you. Take them out quietly, but I will let you choose how to 'dispose' of them"

Ok, A fresh start for me. This is the first part of a Vignette series I'm making set during the Third World War. It won't make much sense at this stage, so look out for the next parts!

Log: “Hey your not authorized to be here...” “Here’s my authorization,” Havoc said as he pointed his pistol. Shield Squad along with their platoon tore off to the east upon landing on the surface, heading to the mountains that shadowed the valley ahead. Their objective? Cut off any support to the clankers along the cliffs. Only a small defensive structure lied up there, but the high winds that funneled through the valley would make jet packs inferior. “Ascension cables sir?” The rookie had asked. Havoc responded by saying, “Our cables hitting the top of that cliff will draw their attention on us faster than a missed droidpopper at a destroyer... Boys loosen up because we’re free climbing this one.”
20X Lens Tests. I am posting 3 pictures taken with a "new" 20X Mitutoyo Plan Apo Infinity Corrected Long WD Microscope Objective attached to an old 200mm Pentax lens. This allows me to start getting into some extreme stack territory. That said this lens new is over $2000.00 U.S. However, I found a scratched one on Ebay for $300.00. I have no idea what its life was before but the outside surface of the whole lens was deeply scratched there were actual dings in the rim of the lens and a HUGE scratch (gouge really) in the lens itself along the edge. I could see under my scope that there was at least some dust inside the lens too! But, 300 is 300 and I know that many times scratches and such don't have as much impact in these stacked shots as one would imagine. So, here are the results with a tiny tiny chrysidid wasp, a male flying ant of some kind we are using in a study, and the corner of a head of a small Halictus tectus. All told, I am satisfied that I got my monies worth, but would be interested in hearing from others regarding any signs of lens flaws that they can see or advice on approaches to using this lens...the long working distance is fantastic.

Love for Other Things
It’s easy to love a deer
But try to care about bugs and scrawny trees
Love the puddle of lukewarm water
From last week’s rain.
Leave the mountains alone for now.
Also the clear lakes surrounded by pines.
People are lined up to admire them.
Get close to the things that slide away in the dark.
Be grateful even for the boredom
That sometimes seems to involve the whole world.
Think of the frost
That will crack our bones eventually.

Pan Asian troops have been inserted in Kanagawa because of the rumor that US troops were their way to Tokyo with the objective to make sure no American soldiers were left on Japanese soil. Scouts and small platoons were placed in buildings to scout for any American activity and to prevent enemy forces to secure the area. Platoon 36-B discovered what might be US troops in the Takashi tower and a special ops team have been sent to the tower for searching.
Before the RhB Ge 4/4 II locomotives retired from regular passenger service, in favor of freight traction and the Glacier Express, I tried to capture as many shots as possible on all the lines where they were still active. Here’s one from the regional Pontresina - Scuol-Tarasp route.
This photo is part of my new photography goal: to place the train within a frame rather than letting it occupy the entire image, unlike the previous image.
-----------------------
Avant que les Ge 4/4 II des RhB abandonnent le service régulier voyageurs, au profit des de la traction des marchandises et des Glacier-Express, j'ai essayé d'emmagasiner un maximum de prise de vue sur toutes les lignes où elles étaient encore actives. En voici une sur le régional Pontresina - Scuol-Tarasp.
Cette photo fait partie de mon nouveau objectif, mettre le train dans un cadre et non pas que le train occupe toute l'image.
The strongest objective argument for the validity of Scripture comes from fulfilled Bible prophecy - John MacArthur.
David wrote Psalm Twenty Two 1000 years before Jesus was crucified on the cross.
Why Have You Forsaken Me?
To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
Yet you are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel.
In you our fathers trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
To you they cried and were rescued;
in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by mankind and despised by the people.
All who see me mock me;
they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;
“He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him;
let him rescue him, for he delights in him!”
Yet you are he who took me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
On you was I cast from my birth,
and from my mother's womb you have been my God.
Be not far from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is none to help.
Many bulls encompass me;
strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
they open wide their mouths at me,
like a ravening and roaring lion.
I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax;
it is melted within my breast;
my strength is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death.
For dogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers encircles me;
they have pierced my hands and feet—
I can count all my bones—
they stare and gloat over me;
they divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
But you, O LORD, do not be far off!
O you my help, come quickly to my aid!
Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dog!
Save me from the mouth of the lion!
You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen!
I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
You who fear the LORD, praise him!
All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him,
and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
For he has not despised or abhorred
the affliction of the afflicted,
and he has not hidden his face from him,
but has heard, when he cried to him.
From you comes my praise in the great congregation;
my vows I will perform before those who fear him.
The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied;
those who seek him shall praise the LORD!
May your hearts live forever!
All the ends of the earth shall remember
and turn to the LORD,
and all the families of the nations
shall worship before you.
For kingship belongs to the LORD,
and he rules over the nations.
All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;
before him shall bow all who go down to the dust,
even the one who could not keep himself alive.
Posterity shall serve him;
it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation;
they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn,
that he has done it.
(Psalm 22 ESV)

The objective on this evening was not to shoot around the campus but when the light was setting and the color came flying out of the sky, we adjusted accordingly.
The objective with this print was to see how the process can handle a bright image with delicate skin tones. This one is 3/4 of the way done, with Platinum/Palladium, cyanotype and yellow gum (yes, this print has black, cyan and yellow in it now). Magenta gum next/last, and we'll see what happens...
This is the southbound Crescent, headed for Wilmington, Washington, and Points South as it approaches SEPTA's Folcroft station. On the point is ACS-64 class unit #600.
The real objective after the Super Saturday PCC trip, however, was not this train. I only meandered trackside here after stopping at nearby Leo's Steak Shop, because there was no freakin' way I was getting back on the plane without a cheesesteak. (Yes, I know about Pat's and Geno's, but I didn't have time to head that way.)
A prime objective of a late-March two-day Outer Banks photography outing with Clyde (Whisle) was photographing the Milky Way, and the second morning provided a clear sky for the event. I decided the Sigma 24/1.4 Art lens was the best I had for such shooting; stopping it down to f/2 allowed both lower ISO and shorter exposure than my previous Milky Way effort with my Canon 16-35/4L, but something wider than 24mm would have been nice. (A few days later, I read that this lens is best for capturing the night sky when stopped down at least to 2.8.)
Most of my shots have the light of the first-order Fresnel lens blazing brightly, but the light's pattern (2.5 seconds on, 2.5 off, 2.5 on, then 22.5 off) enabled me to snap the shutter during the second of the flashes and complete the shot before the end of the 22.5-second dark period, thus giving the light a soft orange glow and allowing details of the lantern room to show.
Bodie Island Light is the third lighthouse tower here. The first (1848) had a poor foundation due to U.S. Treasury skimping and soon needed replacement; the second tower (1859) was blown up by Confederate troops during the Civil War to keep it from aiding the Union Navy. The current lighthouse (built 1870-72) is a brick tower with a cast iron lantern room housing a first-order Fresnel lens. Sources differ on some points, such as date of automation (1931 vs. 1954) and height of lighthouse (150, 156, 163, and 165 ft); according to www.outer-banks.com/lights/nbodie.cfm, it is 150 feet to the top of the tower, 165 feet to the top of the lantern room, and 156 feet from ground to focal plane. Bodie Island Light is still an active aid to navigation, but was transferred from the Coast Guard to the National Park Service in 2000; the 1893 double keepers' house is now a visitor center. Bodie Island Light Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 (03000607).

This isn't a particularly good photo, in fact it is probably particularly bad. But I keep coming back to it. Why? No idea. I could point out a bunch of bullshit triangles or whatever but I don't actually believe it or care. Everybody is capable of climbing up their own ass, the trick is to find a dignified way to pick yourself out.
Haven't been posting these as they take too long to upload.

Objective: fit the mini dolls under the windscreen so they can see over the windowsill, while still keeping cockpit details visible through the window...
Solution: Angle the cockpits raising the front, and lowering the back.
Result: A+ pass. Time to move on.. I spent way to much time on this little detail...
USCGC Kimball is the 7th multi-mission National Security Cutter with a unique advantage for worldwide deployment due to our homeport in Honolulu, Hawaii. With a range of 13,000 nautical miles, the advanced technologies of our cutter are designed to support the national objectives to maintain the security of America’s maritime boundaries, engage in critical Law Enforcement operations, and provide long range search and rescue capabilities.
“Lead, Train, Save”
This cutter's namesake, Sumner Increase Kimball, was born September 2, 1834 in Lebanon, Maine. After his graduation from Bowdoin College in 1855, Kimball was admitted to the bar in 1858 and elected to the Maine House of Representatives in 1859. Kimball was appointed as the chief of the U.S. Treasury Department's Revenue Marine in 1871. He proceeded to completely overhaul the service and the assortment of lifesaving stations along the nation's coast. After the Civil War, the Revenue Marine came under intense congressional scrutiny and funding constraints. In order to address the ongoing scrutiny, Kimball championed efforts to reduce expenses and sought efficiencies by modernizing acquisitions and personnel practices that formed the backbone of the modern day Coast Guard. Kimball also put into effect a merit system to determine promotions. Kimball improved the quality of the Revenue Marine by establishing, in 1877, a school of instruction, to train new officers. It developed into today's Coast Guard Academy, which still trains the majority of the Coast Guard's officers. Since 1848, Congress only funded strictly volunteer lifesaving stations, paying for the station and its equipment but relying on the local community to provide unpaid crews when needed. Kimball convinced Congress to increase the funding of the service to provide for full-time, paid crews. New stations constructed around the coast were equipped with the finest lifesaving equipment available. In 1878, this growing network of stations was organized as a separate agency of the Treasury Department and named the U.S. Life-Saving Service. Kimball was chosen as the general superintendent of the new service. He served in that capacity until it was merged with the former Revenue Marine, now named Revenue Cutter Service, in 1915 to form the new U.S. Coast Guard. After a life of public service, Kimball passed away in Washington, D.C., on June 20, 1923.

I might not use the camera I bought on eBay more than a year ago to take actual photos, but it's always fun playing around with it. This time I tried to make a photo of my Sigfig by photographing his reflections on my old manual Olympus lens.
For this photo I found that the easiest way to get some nice lightning was to do light painting. I put my camera on a tripod, turned off the lights, kept the shutter opened for a few seconds and started painting my minifig using the light of my smartphone.

I've made a short test of 3 common and not really expensive microscope objective of the Nikon brand. The subject was the same parcel of a butterfly wing, the flatness left me take a non-deep focus stacking. The first objective is the CFI Plan 10x/0.25 ∞/-. The second is the BD Plan 10/0.25 210/0. The third is the M Plan 10/0.25 210/0.
You can see them with the adapters.
Note: the 67-52 is reversed on the photo, of course you cannot use it this way. The outer barrel on the M Plan has been removed forever.
The CFI Plan was fixed on a 70-200/4 telephoto zoom lens at 200mm, but the BD Plan and the M Plan were on a 180mm bellows, thus I got the same magnification.
The original pictures were cropped from 4368x2912px to 4200x2800px, so I lost the very small vignetting.
You will find below the 3 pictures, click on each one, you'll get a 2000px version. In this size all of them are nice for me, but there are small differents in original size which reveal in the 100% crops.
Hi guys !
A few days ago, I had a guy come down from Manchester to give him a run through of the macro process for stacking after he liked some of my work...
When he gets his equipment i'll link you to his work as advice from some of you would be great to get him statred with the whole macro learning curve !
The above is a stack, mainly Dmap, of 175 images, taken with the 4x Objective on 49mm worth of extension tubes.
Had to sacrifice quality for size of subject again here so the eyes at full screen arn't great, sharpened up with Smart sharpen in Photoshop, a great little tool !
Hope you like it !

For the RogueOlympics on www.RogeuBricks.de I built a camera with only 101 parts, which you can find on my stream.
I liked this first 101 parts MOC so much, that I decided to build it again - but then without part limit.
The camera itself is only build with LEGO parts and, the Nintendo set tiles fitting perfectly for the screen on the backside. Also the objektive is brick build in this one.

Tour du Ruan, Switzerland
I walk onto the catwalk embodying Regan from the iconic horror film The Exorcist, which tells the chilling story of a young girl possessed by a demonic force, only to be saved through a grueling exorcism. Her look mirrors Regan's eerie, unsettling transformation, with disheveled hair, pale, cracked skin, and haunting eyes. Ivanna chose this character to showcase Halloween's ugly and dark side, symbolizing the inner demons and struggles many face. While the character is ultimately saved, she represents a deeper, raw human experience that Ivanna relates to personally and believes others may also resonate with.
I meticulously crafted this Regan-inspired look, determined to capture every eerie and unsettling detail from The Exorcist. She wanted the audience to feel the raw horror and transformation of the possessed girl, so she chose tangled, messy hair from Truth, echoing Regan's wild, unkempt look in her most terrifying moments. The blood- and puke-stained dress from Brii Underground Wear was chosen after thorough research, as it closely mirrored the haunting costume from the film. Ivanna focused on even the smallest elements, from the pallor of her skin to the hollow, tormented look in her eyes, ensuring that the outfit not only showed Regan's ugliness but embodied the disturbing realism of the character. Every detail was carefully curated to evoke fear, discomfort, and the dark side of Halloween.
My portrayal of Regan was carefully crafted to convey a powerful message beneath the horror. By embodying the possessed character, she wanted to symbolize the inner struggles we all face—those unseen demons that manifest as fear, anxiety, doubt, or mental health challenges. With every unsettling detail in her look, from the disheveled hair to the blood-stained dress, Ivanna sought to remind people that no matter how dark things may seem, there’s always a way to overcome. Whether battling uncertainty, insecurity, or just life's daily challenges, her look encouraged a call for compassion and connection. I urged people to face their inner battles, seek help, and find someone who listens and ensures their well-being is cared for. The hope she wanted to convey was that no one has to fight their demons alone, and there is always a lifeline of support waiting to be grasped.

Among the first 3 men to climb Mont Blanc.
There is
Jacques Balmat (left) at the side of Horace-Benedict de Saussure, "The Father of Alpinism", in a monument erected at Chamonix. They are looking a the Mount Blanc summit.
In 1760 Saussure visited Chamonix, and offered a reward to the first man to reach the summit of Mont Blanc, at the time unscaled. He made an unsuccessful attempt himself in 1785, by the Aiguille du Goûter route. Two Chamonix men, Dr Michel Paccard and Jacques Balmat attained the summit in 1786, by way of the Grands Mulets, and in 1787 Saussure himself made the third ascent of the mountain.
Paccard didn't have his statue.
This statue has been raised in 1986 to remember Paccard who was on the of the first two climbers.
