ODC-Scale
Yesterday I tried to post a photo of this figurine but Flickr viewed it as inappropriate, so here I am again hoping this time it will work. I've taken it from another angle that doesn't show the figurine's body. It's of Lady Justice and I don't think most of the Lawyers in this country would consider this figurine to be lude. The photo below is the one that was deemed restricted. Personally I think she's lovely!
Canoes floating below the Victoria Glacier in Lake Louise.
There are over 50 visible people in this image! Hard to imagine just how small we really are, until you set foot in a place of such scale.
Belonging to the same genus as Inca Dove and Common Ground Dove, this small, gray dove with distinctive scale-like feathers is found commonly but discontiguously in S. America (a population in Eastern Brazil and another in Colombia/N. S. America). This is the Ridgway ssp. (note black edging to feathers). A Lifer seen at Hato La Aurora.
People asked what are you going to make with it, sewing needles. So, stick pin for scale.
Yes, I even made the little nuts. Crushed a few in the process. Parts of this were made on a lathe not much newer than after the period this is modeled.
See photo stream for other pictures. It took over a year working once a week about 5 hours.

Showing my Liverpudlian friend around the Dales - there are few better places to end the day than the limestone pavements of Souther Scales
It was only when I got home and processed this photo that I realised I'd taken an identical one before... not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing?
UPDATE: See this image for how it should have looked... www.flickr.com/photos/60494167@N02/25180259564/in/datepos...

I've been itching for a while, especially since Babalas posted his own, to build a simple prop-job civil aircraft.
This is my first attempt at a minifig-scale aircraft, and I'm pretty pleased. I don't really have a name for it, but used some photos of the Cessna 180 as reference for a few details. On the whole, though, I mostly went my own way with the project. It should end up in AFOLOKC's display in December.
There's a couple pieces I need to replace for proper coloring, but thought it good enough for a couple pictures, at least.
1) Subject: sunset moth scales
2) Camera: Olympus OM-D E-M1
3) Lens : Olympus UMPlanFI 10X / Canon 70-300 @300mm
4) Other : RS90 Rail / 5um
5) ISO100 / 1/8 sec / Electronic Shutter
6) Stack # : 93 / Zerene / LR / PS
7) Lighting : DIY LED Tube

The highest waterfall in the Lake District where Scale Beck falls over a single drop of 170 ft follwed by two more of about 20 ft.
A cold winter afternoon... when i'd hoped that the late sun would colour the distant mountain ingleborough.
Despite a favourable forecast... things didn't pan out.
The sun when it appeared was fleeting, weak and watery.... you could say that it was a wasted venture.
However standing on Scales moor, a remote plateau, surrounded by big frozen mountains- Ingleborough, Gragareth and Whernside gives you a lesson in Scale (apt place name then). How tiny we are... insignificant even.
The last thing my Father said to me (and will ever say to me) was that i was an "insignificant piece of Sh#t".
He hoped that this was an insult, and he had wanted to hurt.... however all i heard was the truth..... and the truth is liberating.
My father wasn't loving, or caring, he wasn't a role model, nor was he my idol. A teacher would you believe, an educated man who used his intelligence to brutalise his children.
I endured his apathy towards me, his beatings and his belittlement. And when i got to an age where he could no longer throw me around, i was of no use to him and he retreated to his study and garden. He has never telephoned me, never said well done... that i make him proud.. or that he loves me. When i visited his home... he would be there.... in the garden or another room.
I'll add that this retreat wasn't shame for his parental failings, for he believes that his education means that he is utterly infallible and therefore has no need or capacity for self analysis or desire for atonement. He never bothered with his parents, friends or family, anyone that could have corrected him or set him an example to follow. Anyone in his life was short lived and only because they were of benefit to him in some way...... isn't that ugly?
So he was quite correct, i was insignificant, however he was a man that i never knew and insignificance is very much a two sided coin.
So we're both insignificant...
My insignificance however isn't confined to a pressure cooker of four walls or trimmed privets..... And as i stood utterly alone next to this huge erratic that has endured countless seasons and lifetimes the difference was that i was euphoric in my insignificance. Here there were no confines, or hate or anger or regret.
To add to my euphoria some rare Kelvin- helmholtz clouds formed over Ingleborough... the final piece for my composition.
Life is beautiful!!
Without sounding like a motivational speaker ....
Never forget the bad stuff in life, just don't dwell on it, instead use it to appreciate the good.... and this world will show you some incredible things.

Into the gloomy distance go the intrepid RAF Voyager and a Finnish Air Force F-18 Hornet at RIAT 2023. A symbol of NATO cooperation for now and into the future. It’s hard to believe that the closest to the camera of the two aircraft is the Hornet.
I'm having fun with posing my cups. Far too many to work on and hard to choose which composition I like the best.
This has been treated with many layers of textures and overlays. Cropped, desaturated colour ... you name it! Photoshop CC2015.5, Lightroom CC first for tone.
A hot tea in the summer will cool you .... so come on over!! I've been into Aqua things lately .... have always been fond of it but used to be hard to find pretty things in it but it seems now, it's all over the place ... Yay!!!
Enjoy your week friends!
Woody playing diminishing scales.

Scales of a Morpho Didius, also known as the Giant Blue Morpho.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpho_didius
These blue scales are extremely hard to photograph to begin with, combined with the transparent scales, it posed a great challenge to my lighting and photographic skills. It turned out to be great and I am happy with the result. It's still not the best and there's many places of improvement. Not much detail can be seen in the transparent scales. Lighting needs some more work.
