Name: Oracle
Type: MIX
Pilot: Magdalen Azalea
Special Ability: 4Sight
Description: While some racers choose to bask in the fame and spotlight that comes from winning races, Magdalen Azalea, pilot of the Oracle, is certainly not one of those. In fact, little is actually known about her past. There are some rumors floating around the MRL's fanbase that she was once involved with criminal underworld that hides in the shadow of the MRL, but nothing is certain. What is certain is that her mecha is extraordinary. The Oracle is agile, fast, and relatively light despite its size. Its real strength lies in its 4Sight ability. The Oracle can deploy four drones while racing to give its pilot an extended aerial view of the track. This allows Magdalen's cybernetic eye to calculate the best path for the Oracle to take depending on track hazards or other racers. 4Sight allows the Oracle to move at high speeds in dangerous situations, and even helps it to dodge attacks from other mechs in the Rumble Races. When the Oracle needs some extra speed, its drones can latch onto its back and give boost.

So, this one was tough to build. It is a lot bigger than I had originally planned, but I really like its silhouette. It has pretty good poseability and its torso is really sturdy. The idea for the 4sight ability came from Aldnoah.Zero's Kataphrakts, specifically the Nilokeras. This MOC is little tricky to balance, but once you find the sweet spot it's not going anywhere. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks all!
One of the three source photos used for my first HDR experiment. This shot is actually not HDR and has not been post-processed beyond some cropping. It has no exposure bias (0 EV). The other 2 shots are +/- 1 EV. The resulting HDR is not as dramatic as I want; in fact, I like this shot more than the HDR version.

…on the way from the Oakland Airport, we passed the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Complex. When I saw the name, I thought of a new Dad, a huge sports fan, and a terrific, creative photographer, that would love to see his name on an arena (home of the Golden State Warriors…yeah yeah yeah…I know…lolol). I hope you have a terrific weekend, my friends.
…got to give props to that fantastic Oakland band, Tower of Power, and their awesome horn section. Here they are, playing, what else?

San Francisco Fire Department following Oracle Team USA in case of emergency.
(Per Reuters) - "Oracle Team USA and Emirates Team New Zealand split two dramatic races on Sunday, winning one each in heavy winds on San Francisco Bay and sending the America's Cup sailing regatta into a tense and unexpectedly close final week of competition."
These 72 foot carbon fiber catamarans race across the bay at speeds up to 50 mph. sports.yahoo.com/news/drama-builds-oracle-mounts-comeback...
The most (architecturally) boring part of the Oracle shopping complex in Reading, which is otherwise far more interesting. Which doesn't stop it from offering great retail therapy, though (just like any other mall in the world :)
Another app test - this was Fotor, with finishing touches in PicSay Pro (my yet-to-be-beaten favourite mobile editor). Vintage colouring and vignetting were kept subtle, as I went for a 'realistic' look.
I got Panasonic 7-14mm for my E-P1 about a month ago. It is a cute, wide and expensive lens, and now I am looking for a way to use it. But cannot find the time to go on a dedicated photo shoot. So this evening I decided to take some wide shots...
From the archive, Oracle twin towers in the early evening.
Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Australia.
I've taken a few other shots of these towers in the past - click here to view those.

One boat is named after a country (1851), and the other boat is named after a company (2013).
The black boat on the left flying the large American flag, the America, is a replica of the first boat to win the America's Cup. In fact, the cup is named after this schooner. In order for the America to win, it had to beat 15 other boats representing England in a race around the Isle of Wight. America beat all the other boats by at least 8 minutes in the 60 mile (98 km) race. The story has it that Queen Victoria asked who was second, the famous answer being: "Ah, Your Majesty, there is no second." Sorry, New Zealand.
162 years later, the winning boat bears no resemblance to the America. Built of carbon fiber, using a wing instead of a sail, the Oracle is a true modern sailing machine. Congratulations to the crew who sailed this boat, the engineers who designed it, and the financiers who paid for it.
History:
The weather finally cooperated (sort of) and I managed to get out and and shoot a bit. I drove up to Redwood Shores, to the lair of Larry and shot around Oracle HQ. Its an impressive campus, with an impressively large security force.
Oracle Oak, Quercus xmorehus. A hybrid between Black Oak, Quercus kelloggii, and Interior Live Oak, Quercus wislizeni. Obviously only begrudgingly deciduous.
Well, I think the Analei wig looks better on my sleepy Rebecca! She's a cutie, this one! I bought the heeled feet for Sera who immediately took them and also the DC jointed hands (pics to come) but in doing so, I had to steal the ankle balls from this little girl, so I stole someone else's feet until I can figure that out (the April Story feet are super cute). Hanazahra is the one who sacrificed her feets so she got Sera's old hands-much more mature than her Angell Studio ones. So lots of swapping going on.
I meant to dye this child, but maybe she'll remain white skinned- and I believe she's blind. I need some eyes for her. Anyway, all caused by exposure to the mists she uses for her oracle-esque powers. She'll be useful for exposition, I think. She is very old, but has no way to mark the passing of time, so doesn't realize her family is long gone.
Not sure she's keeping the outfit as-is, but I kind of like it. Think she's snatched the wig off Analei's head for real!
