How quick does the new Nikkor 500mm f/5.6 PF ED VR focus? I was shooting this guy head on....stopped and spun as he went by. One frame on him as he approached the runway. Kill % with this lens is 95%.
A quick up-to-date photo of the mystery engine with the glowing fire.
This is my first model of a British locomotive that isn't modeled off of a preserved example, which I don't see done very often.
The decision to make this particular model was rather spontaneous...I hadn't made a proper locomotive model in some time, and I got tired of choosing and taking too long, and I just decided to try this one out. The goal was a regular suburban NE tank engine that made it into BR days. A pretty simple guideline. This does mean that when the model is complete, it will be decked out in a handsome BR-lined black livery.
Seeing as I'm so close to finishing the model, I thought I might as well finish it and share it. Need to work on cab detailing then the rear bunker.
More to come soon.
Just managed to capture this Green Fritillary before it flew off near Birling Gap, East Sussex - July 2015.
Quick couple of photo shots at work.
A fellow photography friend who is also a rep for one of the companies we deal with came to visit me at work.
We had a brief conversation about a couple of photography stuff. He showed me his new lens that he is "borrowing" from his daughter, a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 VR lens. What a great lens that is.
I had a few minutes testing the lens (see the one photo) I also demonstrated my old "vintage" Helios lens to him. Hence this photo.
Using the Helios 44-2 2/58 Soviet lens (from 1975).
Critique is welcomed.
Thank you all very much for your visits, favs and comments.
solanum mauritianum
This is an alien invasive plant and it is growing everywhere. Yet nobody seems to care to take it out anymore. It used to be controlled but not anymore.
Sources say this plant could also be hazardous to your health and that some people even goes so far as to smoke the leafs of this plant.
More information on this plant I photographed. (look at the Bugweed)

Also from the website:
"These IAPs may no longer be grown anywhere in South Africa. If they are in your garden, they should be removed and destroyed immediately. Trade in these plants is prohibited."
Alternative common names:
bugtree, flannel weed, woolly nightshade (English); luisboom, groot bitterappel (Afrikaans); uBhoqo, umbanga banga (isiZulu)
A shrub or small tree up to 4m high covered with whitish-felty hairs. Dull green leaves that are velvety above and white-felty beneath which emit a strong smell when bruised. Purple flowers in compact, terminal clusters on densely felty stalks up to 10cm long all year round. Spherical berries which start off green and turn yellow, in compact terminal clusters. Hairy leaves and stems are a respiratory tract and skin irritant. Unripe fruits are poisonous.
Just a quick little build inspired by this great revamp:

A third quick trip to my local Farmoor Reservoir in Oxfordshire. I was hoping to catch up with the Great Northern Diver. It had been seen this day but i couldn't find it.
Another rare'ish bird was the female Greater Scaup Duck that was seen in amongst a huge raft of Tufted Ducks on F1 reservoir.

HAS IT OCCURED TO YOU LATELY HOW QUICKLY THE TIME FLY'S RIGHT PASS YOU!!!!
that sun comes up in the morning and before we know it it is gone for the day, and we say,
"Oh another day gone by" OR "My where has this day gone to?"
As we grow and get older yes those days do seem to get shorter, and that old sun seems to disapear much quicker, especially, if you have not been much further than your bed and your bedroom and bath for days at a time.
I must right here give ever so much credit to those of my Flickr friends who are shut in's who have no choice but to spend endless days and nights bed ridden!
Time is ever long, and ever so short!
We must make each moment a precious one, and tell those we love that we do so.
Like all of my Flickr friends who take the time to stop and view one of my photos, and leave a kind work or two, or just a fav, or a note.
This means so much to anyone, who has seen the sun come up and go down for the day from the bed that they lay in.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

A quick new pic of one of my companions D'z (pronounced Dizzy). This is kind of a spoiler of sorts but nothing Mind Blowing!! Go ahead Brig and twist my words to your hearts content! Hehehe...
Thanks to Brigand231 for inviting me and thanks to Drinx for inspiring me to go grab the Outlander Armor for D'z here. I hadn't realized there was a female version of the armor available. Thanks again!

I saw this couple slow dancing at a festival the other day and snapped a quick pic. I tried to do something a little different from my usual style with this one.

I am really happy with the bricks and the fit in general...now today is the scary part of adding the grout and hoping I don't wreck it! LOL

Walking past this paperbark, the lorikeets and a very defensive mudlark took to the air.
