The best action of yesterday's G1 minor storm probably got covered by the clouds, managed to get at least something, waiting for new oppurtunities.

This train was formed of the seating portion of the Edinburgh - Bristol sleepers. It returned as the 1305 Plymouth - Bristol stopper which got overtaken at just about every oppurtunity!

"Last week was incredibly stressful for me. I'm sure you all know the drama that went down last week and it totally threw me off and made me incredibly tensed all week. But last week Dezmin Dykemyker stepped WAY out of line and she pushed me to the limit - I'm sick of her acting like she owns the damn place and she totally embarassed me both in her photo and at elimination when she got a higher place than me despite what she did. This time, its time for me to get my full revenge...

CALLED: 05/07

I've never really realised how awesome Hangry is and how lucky i am to have her <3 she's almost at the brink of breaking her knee, but she's so gorgeous :DDb

There was gorgeous lighting today, and Kumiko couldn't pass up on an oppurtunity like this one! You can see how awesome her hair colour is, and, i admit - everyone needs atleast one Hangry.... ;DDb

I'd also love to thank everyone for the recent feedback on my photos, it means alot and my dolls are flattered *waves*

Went along to Brighton last night to get some pikkies but decided to throw myself down some stairs along the seafront and sprain my ankle instead lol.

But thanks to the power of embarrasement I got up after landing on my tripod and camera bag and quickly hobbled off with my wife fussing over me with worry.

Anyway no wanting to waste the oppurtunity of getting some pictures I carried on getting a few shots I'm really happy with.

This was taken in the play park which my daughter was playing in using the playpool to get a slightly wobbly but cool reflection.

The sun had gone down but there was still some nice colour left in the sky.

I flipped the image to put the reflection at the top to give a sureal feel to this shot.

Also thanks to my flickr contact photojunket for his advice on using the high pass filter as I had my settings way too high which oversharpened my pictures.

i have played with the settings being more moderate and as you can see the effect is much more natural and pleasing in this picture.

Thank you for all your amazing comments and support on my pictures, you are all great.

I was lucky enough to be given the oppurtunity to shoot at a new, amazing hotel in Colorado. The Black Monarch is a dark, curiosities, eccentric themed hotel that is a one of it's kind. It used to be a casino, brothel, and saloon back in the Gold Rush era, so as you can imagine, with all these unqiue qualities combined, I had such a fun, creative time shooting there. I felt so fortunate to be allowed to literally explore the whole space and shoot wherever we wanted to.

Model: Shel

The Black Monarch, Victor, CO

May 4, 2019

Whilst taking shelter from the rain, I not only stayed dry but as an added bonus I found some great photo oppurtunities inside this barn/outbuilding.

this is the only time shes not ducking away from the cam as she only has eyes for.. her eyes n stuff o_O

The Silverback design is by Legohaulic and then converted by myself with a little Pecovam style. -And yes Tyler, I still have the original model on my shelf:-), this is one I built with the instructions.

-Yes I did cut, paint, mod, glue, and make blood effects on my COG Silverback. Custom LEGO is about artistic development not leaving closed doors of oppurtunities to make things look the way we like them too. I hope you enjoy the photo.

Headed over to Bexhill as the seafront there has an abundance of photo oppurtunities.

Thes shelters have so much character and I've been after a shot of one for ages.

This is a 110 second exposure with me sitting in the shelter having a ghostly presence thanks to the LE.

It was quite refreshing doing a LE where the sea doesn't dominate the picture but I would have loved to see more of a streaking sky for extra drama.

I increased the vignette to encapsulate the shelter.

For this picture I pressed the button on my cable release and locked it in position with bulb mode activated then just walked over and sat down, at the end of the exposure I got up and released the button, simples.

I got a few funny looks as my camera and tripod was left in the middle of the pavement and I was sitting in the shelter hidden slightly for a couple of LE pictures.

As you can see I'm getting better at colour correction.

my good friend and his girl are opening up a new space, I was fortunate enough to take the oppurtunity to throw down on this cutty painted brick wall. I had alot of fun and laughs with the crew painting this one, and some how managed to use white in all aspects of my piece(3D, fill, outline ect.) on a white background. show up then blow up!

Quicksilver Ind. produces top of the notch firearms made for easy and cheap mass production, while maintaining very high quality. Our firearms will always be fully ambidextrous, two toned, operator-friendly and accessory-friendly.

This baby is designed to give the operator an oppurtunity to use high rate of fire with low recoil and to switch calibers within the time less than a minute.

This one has an attached QSI Variable RDS, making it even more accurate and deadly.

The Outrider, Inspired by the Shadows of the Empire comics.

This vehicle was in my head for a very long time, and it was time for a MOC of this model.

In the end it took me more than a year on and off building before completing it.

Actual building time around 20 hours or so. The variety on source material made it a bit difficult to grasp the "real" version. The good part of this is that this gave me the oppurtunity to freestyle a bit here and there. Hope you like it!

To be honest, the photo's don't really do the model justice, need to work on my photography skills :/

This shot was taken during my trip to Maine.I enjoyed the sunset on the very same place before the previous night.Unfortunately my battery drained and couldnt take any shots of sunset.But i didnt get disappointed after getting this sunrise oppurtunity.

As my friend Shilpa suggested in my previous upload,i did use higher F stop here to get more from the scene.My first sunrise upload.As promised previously,i delivered here.

Shot taken using Nikon D60 and Nikon 55-200mm VR lens.

Let me know how you feel about this shot.

Here we see Freightliner's 70005 passing through Stafford on a Coatbridge to Daventry Intermodal working. Observed on 1st June 2016

I decided to take one of the last chances this year to do some bike-photography. I think it's the best time of the year for that, because the colors of the autumn leaves are really great and warm.

I used my Yongnuo YN-568 to brighten the biker. I switched the camera to FP-Synch (or HSS) to be able to shoot at 1/800s. I also used an orange lighting gel filter on the flash because without that the light of the flash would have destroyed the warm look. It was the first time for me to use one of those, but it's a simple trick I've read in a book. I think there are lots of oppurtunities to use gel filters and the whole set with many different colors was really really cheap.

This was captured on the way down of a mountain called "Hohe Möhr". It's in the south-west of the Black Forest and it was the first time I've been there. Really worth a visit.

Feel free to add comments on what you like or dislike.

i realise that when you buy fruit for a school project to photograph, it's obviously also a calling to take a photo of one of them to use in your 365. especially strawberries :P

and omg i love strawberrehs

i've not had them in so long and they were DELICIOUS nomnomnom. i wish i'd "expanded" this. i love the bokeh those trees create - no matter how annoying they are in the summer when youre trying to enjoy the sun

and i just want to take this oppurtunity to thank all of you

you're all so supportive and encouraging every single day, even the days where i give nothing back. i apologise for the times i dont have time to reply to fms (lololol), comments and such, as i really should. but i have to say i absolutely adore what everyones done today - it is all seriously gorgeous. (my favourites are gonna soar tonight, ha)

so thank you :)

uhm not sure what else to say

other than i've eaten too much. as usual. yup yup.

ask me stuff

Full frame image no crop and at ISO 1250, after photographing the Fieldfare in the countryside on friday and saturday my wife informed me two birds were showing well in the garden so who would miss an oppurtunity like this to photograph these beautiful migrant visitors.

Many thanks to all who view and make comments on my photostream.

A continuation to the "W for Waterfalls series", this is the landcape series from this months weekend trip. In terms of photographic oppurtunities, this was the best trip till date to Munnar and surrounding hills. For landscape, I played around with CPL filter a lot. I would recommend this filter to my friends, a must have for such shots.

Thanks to Creations for Charity the hallowed story of the Gypsy Queen squadron has another chapter...

What's the story you ask? It all started years ago when Stijn built the MATSF-5000E Superbanshee II SE which was gifted to none other than Keith, who in turn honoured Stijn's gift with an epic build - the Gypsy Queen, You are cleared for Launch.

Which, was in turn homaged by yours truly with Operation Oscar as my launch pad to try to bribe voters at every convention with my FrogPODs (it didn't work).

So I finally got to not only meet Mr. Goldman and partake in one of his epic layouts, he but gifted me one of the Gyspy Queens.

The last, would be donated to C4C - where it would be up for grabs by anyone.

... but what fun would that be? Plus it'd be a horrible way to end the story of the Gypsy Queens....

Instead, I seized the oppurtunity to dictate where the last Gyspy Queen would land...

So now I have two.

I don't really need two.

I just need one.

So where will the last one go?

Someone will get a nice Xmas present.

Why not make some kid's christmas better too? There are plenty of awesome mocs in Creations for Charity store, so why not make your holidays, and some kid's holiday that much brighter?

Heheh, originally I wanted to give a "thought track" to each one of them, but I didn't want to bore you, so there's just a random thing I thought up, hihi :p

I had the idea of taking a "Dal Family Photo" and also a Pullip one, so here's the one I took yesterday :DD I am sorry for all of the imperfections in it, but as you guys know, I am not the best group-shot-photographer and all, so ye :3 I suppose I shall be taking the Pullip one pretty soon ^_____^

As you can tell, my favourites really are Dals, soooo I will use this oppurtunity to tell any of you non-Dal-owners to fuggin get out there and buy one, haha! Srsly, they're sooooooo fudgin' adorabubble :33

Also, lil monsters, put your paws up for Hair! (''')(''') ♥

This structure stands in Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ on the Hudson River across from lower Manhattan.

The shed is connected to the west side of the CRRNJ Terminal building. Trains would pull into the shed and the passengers could get off and walk through 3 buildings, protected from the elements. They would then board a ferry and continue their trip across the Hudson River into lower Manhattan.

The terminal and shed was built in 1889. From 1890-1915, tens of thousands of daily commuters would travel by train and than ferry to and from the CRRNJ Terminal. Ellis Island immigrants increased this traffic by several thousand each day. For these immigrants the CRRNJ Terminal was the "Gateway to America."

By the 1950s. the opening of the Hudson River tunnels and bridges to NYC and the decline of immigration brought an ending to many of NJ's railroads. The CRRNJ Terminal closed its doors in 1967 due to bankruptcy. In 1968 the terminal and waterfront were purchased with state and federal funds. The terminal was restored and turned into a State Liberty Park in 1976.

I loved visiting this place for the first time on Saturday. There were so many photo oppurtunities, the day was beautiful! I just cant understand how I have never visited this place being that I have lived in NJ, mostly my whole life. I only live about 20 mins from this gem. I will be making many more trips here in the summer thats for sure!

This old house that had been clad with brick provided an unique oppurtunity to see a face...an angry face.

Ladakh - The erstwhile Kingdom nestled in the Western Himalayas was also known as the “The Hidden Kingdom”, preserving its beauty and its culture for ages from the outside world.

Today, Ladakh is among the most visited places in India, no more hidden but yet, well preserved when it comes to its traditions and cultures - the very aspect which makes Ladakh very special for me to visit again and again. More you explore, more you find. After about 8 trips to this magical place, finally I earn the oppurtunity to capture the stunningly beautiful and very detailed 'Ladakhi Costume'.

Hiring a local, making them wear compormised costume catering to tourists doesnt appeal to me. Which is why, exploring, meeting and socializing with locals for a week at forgotten corners around Leh got me the good fortune of capturing this image which truly fills my heart.

About the costume :

Robes in yak wool and silk, capes in brocade and goatskin, woven scarves and shawls, silk and felt hats, embroidered pants, fine felt sashes with beads woven in, shoes with nambu & tigma tie & dye work, woven pangdens or aprons and jewelry accessories in red coral, white shell & blue turquoise, all came together in a harmonious fashion - Design perfected centuries ago and remains so till date.

What catches my eyes the most is the PERAK - The Head Dress. The perak is a status symbol for a Ladakhi woman, her wealth and position are shown by the number and quality of the stones decorating it. Turquoise is the perak's dominant element. The full perak is worn by a married woman as her most valued possession, turquoise stones acts as a form of old-age security. Draped over the top of a woman's head it looks like a raised cobra poised to strike. Resemblance is made stronger by the two black wool ear flaps worn at each side of the head.

Featured here is the most elegant and beautiful - Chamba, who is a resident of a little vilage called Chochutt.

The most beautiful sunset I've ever seen.

My last night in Marseille: it was a very reluctant goodbye, an emotional moment due to this moving sunset and the

fresh memories of the wonders I had the oppurtunity to admire on the natural reserve of the Frioul archipelago during my trip.

Frioul archipelago, Marseille (France).

The Frioul archipelago is the limestone shadow off the coast of Marseille and is made up of four islands: Pomègues, Ratonneau, If and Tiboulen.

Original floral species flourish in the site’s arid microclimate. In total, 200 plant species can be observed and some are protected. Many seabirds also flock to these islands including the yellow-legged gull or “gabian” in Occitan.

The sea bass farm on Pomègues island has been recognised as the number one organic farm in the world.

The archipelago is part of the Calanques National Park and is a protected site where you can experience the real Mediterranean.

Rain, rain, rain - giving me an oppurtunity to do lots of chorse and clean out my iphoto - here is a shot from a few months ago - will be at least 6 months before we get the lovely warm sunsets again

Last weekend I planned two photoshoots, but both models cancelled :( So I took the oppurtunity to check out my medicinal clay ;) It was pretty hard to focus right @ f/1.4

Yongnuo 460 through small octabox camera left.

Forced to evacuate becuase of Irma I had the oppurtunity to spend few days in Fairhaven, close to Bellingham. I was really missing the mountains and the woods and this short trip has been so refreshing for my mind and my soul. I hope I can visit this place again.

he is not allowed to come close, touch feel, or hug during working hours...abba is reserve like most of the abbas ..and puttar is shy. They sell kheer ( rice pudding) in the main bazar of rang mahal. on my request to come close to each other and fit in my frame...they did not miss this oppurtunity to show and feel the love they have for each other. father son love is even more complicated in our society.

Okay this is her last photo entry Yesss!~ Im done with them all Thank you so Much Avery(Daniella ) I dunno I researched for her name^ thank you for this oppurtunity and this is my first comeback competition and it still is unbelievable that we made it in the finale thank you!:Dmuch love from Me and Keira.

For the interview background I incorporated BNTM and SPRING both of Avery's competition and magazine check it out on her account;)

Interviewer:Gillian -G

Model:Keira-K

the cast of bratz next top model cycle 1 has arrived and 98tv got a chance to interview Keira Walski a finalist for this seasons Finale

-Gillian

G:"First of I wanna say what your wearing is stunning so who are you wearing?" (gives her mic to Keira)

K:Oh thanks for the question I am actually wearing a one of kind Diane Von Furstenberg piece she made it exclusively for me.and its Couture.

G:"I must say your working this outfit amazingly you look like a Goddess yourself,So lets get to the questions,Did you get along with the other girls in the house?"

K:Me and Allison Ashwood talk to each other but the rest Im not actually fond of the others because I have this shy personality that I had since I was a child.

G:"So whats this BNTM experience for you about?"

K:I cannot even describe this.This one is my first and actually at such a young age It still is like a dream come true for me(smiles)..

G:What can you say about Alicia being part of the final 2 with you?

K:As I have said I dont have that much friends in the house but Alicia is such an amazing model her photo's are clean and inspired.And I am happy to be in the final 2 with her although I wish I made friends in the house.But I guess Its just because that I am more focused in this BNTM rather than being friendly to everyone".

G:"What where your favorite and not from the photoshoots that you did?"

K:Hmmm(thinking)My most favorite is Colorful Close-up that theme which I got number 1 and showed another side of me but most them are my faves to add old fashion models too but probably my least is the Bling beauty shot I dont know I just know that photo was not worthy for first place and my placing that week was in the middle.But I must say the finale themes are the ones that I love~.

G:What can you say to your supporters who rooted for you and voted since from the start?

K:They are all amazing people~First of I think my look relies on the pretty side and Im happy when I see their comments on my photo's,especially how they voted for me shows their love and support I really wanna thank them(waves her right hand to her fans).

K:That would be a dream come true ( smiling and amazed)But I think what I learned from this competition is an award or cant be defined for me, if I win this Im sure am gonna be one Diamond model.But it still is blur for me because Alicia is great contender also.

G:ohh Gurll have some faith in yourself and I'll see you in the finale?Dont let your supporters down and make them proud(cheering up Keira )

K:Thank you I do actually because of them and I hope my photo's where enough to impress you guys in so little time~Thank you for this interview:) (Keira says thanks Gillian , snapped more photos for the paparazzi ,fans too and then headed towards the premier of BNTM's finale episode)

Hope you all like this~ Keira sported platinum blonde this time and I made her Long Gown and notice the shoes I got a way to make them like these hehehe;)

Listen....

Week 6

I just got an Instagram. Yes, finally. I am a bit late. But, follow me on there for behind the scenes goodness and details into setting things up, creating props, and other odd parts of my life involving photography. Follow me here!

On to the shoot, this location just had the concrete foundation floors poured two days ago so I took the oppurtunity to shoot in it before it started to get filled up. It was pretty awesome that I got to luck out and get to do this. It took about five hours to set everything up and wire the lights to power about sixty feet away. The bottles took the longest part because I got a bit OCD about it. I washed them most out, filled some with water, and left other dirty. Then, I sprayed water all over the ground and called it. I finished up pretty late in the evening. My favorite part of this entire thing was the morning after when someone from a bar across the street told me that people were asking what was going on in the tarped barn across the road because it looked like a scene from Dexter. They told the people it was just me shooting pictures obviously but I thought I would have thrown some red paint on the walls for good measure had I known I was being a spectacle.

A capture I still had in stock from that great photowalk in Gent with Erroba and Michael Rathmann. Now I can't make good captures of a church, so Erlend asked if I would test his fish-eye lens. Since we both use Canon, the lenses are interchangeable (thank God for that!). I am not a fish-eye addict, but open to every technique in photography I couldn't pass at such a great oppurtunity. I learned that using a fish-eye is very hard to master, since composition is very difficult. From the 30 captures I made with Erroba's lens, this is the only one I like.

Take a look at my Gent set to have an impression of the day.

One from the Archives, actually I going throught shots to make up a Calender for one of our friends that are moving away from the area and says they'll miss seeing the mountains the most, so as I was going through looking for shots to use,I found thisone. My PS skills last April weren't good enough to do it justice, so I has kind of forgotten about it.

This was taken last April from out in my back pasture, We had gotten about 8" of snow overnite and the sky to the east was moving like crazy and looked like it could give me some nice oppurtunities. Well that didn;t pan out but as the pup and I we're walking back to the house this scene unfolded in front of me looking to the southwest.

Hope ya all have a great sunday.

Another amazing custom set of armor from Hazel! All I can say is that these pieces are too much fun to paint! And for anyone out there who is a little hesitant, I assure you, atteempting to paint these extremely detailed pieces can only help to gain more skill! The armor is perfectly accurate as well as the backpack. The arms still move with the armor on even if you put BF vambraces on them as seen in my photos. The helmet speaks for itself and fits on perfectly and is very easy to get off. Not to mention the fact that Hazel has given everyone the oppurtunity to either leave the visor trans yellow, or paint it yourself. Great idea, and only extends the boundries of what these pieces can be used for. A must buy for any Hazel, Halo or custom lego fan for that matter! Keep an eye out for Pedro's post of when these become available in the coming days from his Bricklink store United Armory. Thanks Hazel, keep the awesome stuff coming!

Shot this on a complete impulse about an hour before sundown, cutting it fine is an understatement. I always find those are some of the best moments, though.

I have a lot of unwanted self doubt within myself and I think this image reflects that notion quite accurately. I enjoy every second of what I'm doing and am thankful I get the oppurtunity to do it as often as I like.
