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.
three old paperclips on a magnetic pyramid. The "cross bar" of each paperclip measures 1cm. That pyramid is much more rugged than I thought: it is smooth to the touch.

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.
Here they all are, my micro scale Star Wars Fleet, 2021 class photo. All of the ships are as close to 1:250 scale as I could make them, some are a bit chunky or a stud too long or short, but overall they’re mostly strong builds that are hopefully recognisable. I’ve used common parts wherever possible and I’ve published instructions for everything on Rebrickable…

It’s been a much slower year than 2020, I finished my to-do list back in May, but I still have a few ideas to immortalise in Studio and I’m also going to try to some more interesting action shots next year. Until then, may the Force be with you!

Woody playing diminishing scales.
Woody the pianist is #85 in Explore (Oct. 19th) - thank you for your comments and faves everyone. ;-)
This is Seljalandsfoss, apparently one of the more famous of (the many) beautiful waterfalls of Iceland. This one has an added attraction, you can walk a path behind the waterfall.
In Seljalandsfoss, the river Seljalandsá falls 60 metre down a cliff that once were the icelandic coastline.
I only just managed to capture this scene. Mark can be seen right at the foot of the image and the summit of the |Jungfrau has only just been accommodated within the view. Such is the size of the Jungfrau. Mark is seen here as he makes his descent to the col from the summit of the Lauberhorn.
Je cherchais du lin en fleurs mais en quelques jours les graines s'étaient formées et les magnifiques pétales bleus avaient disparu.
Mais juste à côté le chemin entre les champs cultivés s'était transformé en tableau impresionniste. Une douce allée fleurie de coqueliquots, marguerites et autres fleurs sauvages.
I was looking for flowering flax but within a few days the seeds had formed and the beautiful blue petals were gone.
But right next to it the path between the cultivated fields had been transformed into an impressionist painting. A gentle flowered avenue of poppies, daisies and other beautiful wild flowers.
Looking a little reptilian, up close and personal with Birmingham's iconic Selfridges building. Known locally as the "Cushion with buttons."

I certainly have mixed feelings about this. Have been trying something new in post-processing and this is the result.
Wasn't sure if I like it or hate it. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Image taken at Scale Haw Force, one of the many waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales. I took a step back to pay more attention down the stream instead of the waterfall itself.
Focus stacking and blended in the long exposure. Dodge and burn to add light, colour adjustments, added the Orton effect and finished off with a subtle vignette.
An exploration of color on a dreary and foggy day in Acadia National Park. Interestingly, Maritime Sunburst Lichen prefers growing on bark or wood and is less likely to be found on stone surfaces. However, in the presence of bird droppings or high nitrate content, the lichen will grow on rocks with the added nutrient enrichment.
Scales of Common brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni, Lepidoptera, Pieridae). Some pollen grains can be seen as well.
Image ca. 1.8 mm high.
Studio stack of 223 images (steps of 2 µm with Cognisys StackShot), assembled in Zerene Stacker (Pmax). Sony A7RM5 + bellows + Raynox DCR150 (tube lens) + Mitutoyo M Plan APO 20x/0.42; ISO-100, 1/15sec, -0.3 exposure compensation, diffused LED light (Nanlite Forza 60B II).
I originally purchased this scale as a decorative item for my kitchen; however, I find that I use it almost everyday!

Near Buttermere, Lake District, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's the longest drop waterfall in the Lake District but is hidden amongst the trees, so it's hard to see until you get close.
Chapter X
„There were, as I say, five of them, two being adults and three young ones. In size they were enormous. Even the babies were as big as elephants, while the two large ones were far beyond all creatures I have ever seen. They had slate-colored skin, which was scaled like a lizard's and shimmered where the sun shone upon it.“
Bryan and I get a little help from a fellow hiker for this shot at the bottom of The Wave.

This image stopped me in my tracks because everything in it is doing the same thing, just at different scales. Up close, the dune ripples stack into sharp, repeating chevrons. Pull back a little, and the dunes themselves form larger triangular shapes. Pull back even more, and the distant mountains repeat the pattern yet again. It felt like the desert was quietly showing off, saying, “By the way, I do geometry too.”
Infrared makes this kind of structure impossible to ignore. In IR, dry sand reflects light strongly, while shadows drop hard and fast into near-black. That contrast turns gentle curves into crisp edges and makes the repeating triangles feel almost architectural. The foreground ripples act like a visual metronome, ticking your eye forward until it crashes into the darker midground dune, then lifts again toward the pale, jagged mountains beyond.
From a science perspective, this repetition isn’t accidental. Wind sculpts ripples based on grain size and airflow, dunes organize themselves according to prevailing wind direction, and mountain ranges fracture and erode along structural weaknesses in the rock. Different processes, wildly different timescales, same visual language. Nature loves efficiency, and apparently it also loves triangles.
What really got me, standing there, was how playful it felt. This wasn’t a grand, epic, sky-on-fire moment. It was a quiet realization that if you pay attention long enough, the landscape starts rhyming with itself. I remember grinning and pointing it out to the workshop group like a kid who’d just discovered a secret passage. Moments like this are why I love infrared. It doesn’t invent drama, it just turns the volume up on patterns that were already there, waiting to be noticed.
