Just for Duke:

My custom Colt Scope, with pasteh.

Ain't very easy to recolor though. Didn't build it for that :P

This is one of the many tower scopes located on The Top of The Rock observation deck. Tower scopes have many different names — coin operated binoculars, telescopes and so on.

And in the background everyone should recognize contours of the Empire State Building.

New York. April 2011.

Made this very quick fig with my New U-Scope ! I absolutely love it ! :D

Oh and Brickl.... Your Package still didn't arrive....

Captured in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Hasselblad FlexBody. October 2007.

This bald eagle scans the Mississippi River below him for his next meal.

The second Mech I post on Flickr is Scope Dog Custom.

I tried to make 'Scope Dog' with the original. But the other Armored Troopers were cool too and mixed together at once.

So I named it 'Scope Dog Custom.'

The head and legs are referred to as 'Scope Dog' and 'Shadow Flare' etc.

I also expressed the folding shape which is characteristic of the Armored Trooper. This was a very laborious task, which made it less durable.

I will continue to modify this 'AT' and improve the details.

Thank you.

The quality of this photo is in the pits. But he was a long way off, it was dark, there were hurricanes, tornados, typhoons, monsoons, and there was a bit of wind soooo

Added an anit-cant level and a rubber eyepiece to the ZEQ polar scope.

Tested it under the stars last night, love the rubber eyepiece, no more cold metal against your eyebrow...:)

Made the scope reticle smaller.

Custom 4x5 pinhole camera with integral shutter. 25mm focal length.

Typical view through scope, front of house across lake. On occasion, pigs and coyotes dare to wander here, though deer are usually safe.

The little metallic members of Lasioglossum all tend to look alike until you put them under the scope, once you do you see that some of them don't have pollen carrying hairs .... such as this L. platyparium. Those are members of the genus that are cleptoparasitic on other Lasioglossum. This species is the most common in the Mid-Atlantic area and I associate it with groups of L. versatum, callidum, trigeminum. If you look closely you can also see that the tip of the mandible has no obvious tooth on it ...another sign of being a nest parasite. Now you know. Photograph by Ashleigh Jacobs.

This weeks theme at Feathery Friday is the Six Word Story Group so I had to give it a shot!

Hope you're not sick of wood ducks yet ;D

Senior Airman India Brown stands guard at an entry control point during the three-day Brave Defender field training exercise May 19, 2013, at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The exercise is the culmination of Air Force Materiel Command’s six-week security forces deployment training, administered by the 96th Ground Combat Training Squadron.

This is my 2nd time shooting using DSLR, and guess what, I went to shoot the Petronas Towers. It's a permanent quest to find new angles...For this one, I wanted a very geometric composition. The camera was not using tripod. Took several shots (impossible to look in the viewfinder!), by slightly rotating the camera, checked the results on the LCD until I got the correct framing. Then I fired the several auto bracketed shots.

The juvenile American White Pelican flew closer and scoped out the fishing. He liked it.

It is interesting to me that both the juveniles and adults have gaps in their wing feathers at this time of year. I went back to my photos from earlier in the summer and there were not any gaps like these birds had. Molting?

Sheryl, our guide to the Chilkoot Valley from Haines had several spotting scopes which she would set up at our stops so those without long lenses or binoculars could get some close-up views. Shot this with my phone using her scope.

Here is a shot of the red dot panoramic scope. I think the coating on th glass of the panoramic scope creates an interesting effect.
