“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.” - Christopher McDougall
Rebuilt the Leopard 2A6 from scratch last week, and incorporated new suspension and hull techniques into the build!
As for the Leopard 2A6 kits I was going to make, that is no longer to be, as it is too much of a logistical nightmare (802 pieces with 126 different elements).
Instead, I will be making the instructions for my previous Leo. 2 available sometime this week.
Cheers lads!

We’ve all been through a lot lately, and I know this past year hasn't been easy for many of us. That’s why I want to offer all my customers a special opportunity to finally treat yourselves to those items you’ve always wished for.
A slight freeing of restrictions, so I'm out in the park with my grandson Charlie. Not bad for a 6 year old................. Still, I would say that wouldn't I ?
Hello my dear Flickr friends,
on Wednesday my account was accidentally deleted by the Flickr team. After realizing that I could no longer sign in and could no longer find my account using the URL, I notified the Flickr team.
Last night i received a message from the fickr team that through deleting spam my entire account was also deleting too. The Flickr team apologized to me and largely reconstructed my account.
Unfortunately a lot is still missing so it seems that a lot of my responses to your great comments, as well as some of my comments under your fabulous pictures, have still disappeared: - ((
Of course i won't give up, in the next few days i may be replying again to some of the comments and i will probably post comments a second time under one or the other of your masterpieces!
It was a really unpleasant surprise that suddenly the entire Flickr account disappeared !!! It may take a while before my account is complete and working again. I'm still analyzing it.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and support and i wish you all a nice weekend!
Kind regards
Stefan Blank

Managed to loose my saved games :(
I´ve been absent from Flickr for quite a while. If you want you can check out some of my new editorial stuff on my redesigned site:
In the last few weeks I have been kind of rediscovering my older style of characters with the big black eyes, and I really wanted to go down that road again. Hope you enjoy it! ♥
I will also start to post more stuff to my new Google+-account, so if you´re on it, feel free to add me :) Just search for my name and you should find it.

How To Capture Blue Hour(Twilight):
* Picking your spot:
Blue hour generally starts about 30-45 minutes after sunset. This will vary depending on your location on Earth, and the time of year. You probably want to plan to get to your spot just after sunset, to give yourself enough time and light to set up and try some test shots. I have found the best subject for blue hour photos is a well lit building/Architecture/Monuments.
Check Here Your City/Country Blue Hour Time
* 2 Blue Hour Time:
Yes, there are two blue hours – the morning one and evening one. I usually prefer the later one Coz in the evening there is more life in the cities – more artificial lights, cars driving on the roads, people walking around (great for long exposure shots) and most of the landmarks are beautifully lit.
Our eyes don’t see the light like digital cameras do. Most people don’t realize that after sunset when the sky becomes dark, you can still bring our blue colors of the sky using longer exposures.
*Rules/Settings:
* There is no rule what camera settings are best, but here are a few tips that will make it easier for you:
•Keep your ISO low for best image quality and for longer shutter speeds.
•F-stop should be closed down to about f/11 or f/16. This will give you enough depth of field plus it will create cool star Burst effects on artificial lights Plus Much Sharp Images.
•The shutter time is the least important and can be adjusted according to f-stop and ISO. Personally I prefer longer exposures (5 Seconds to 13 Seconds) that give nice motion effects like lines of the cars driving by or moving clouds and Even Proper Exposure to My Shots as Well give so Smooth Blue Hour Feel too…
•Camera mode can be either Aperture priority or Manual (I prefer Manual Mode)
•The Night/blue hour photos should be slightly under-exposed – its darkness after all.
•White balance. Try out different WB settings and see how it affects the colors. If your camera has a live view mode you can instantly see how the change of WB affects the photo. If you shooting on RAW so don’t worry about WB coz you can change it later on Camera Raw Processing. (At the time of Editing Basically, first you want to adjust white balance/color temperature. Use your RAW editor’s slider and see what looks good. Basically, you want to remove any color casts created by ambient lighting sources. Again, the most common will be red. Move the slider until the red cast is gone, and points of light appear ‘white’.)
•Shutter Click on Timer or Wireless Remote or Wired-Cable to Avoid Shake.
•Suggest You to Shoot on RAW coz You have more Flexibility Later on while changing/Converting your RAW to Jpeg…If you Shooting on JPEG then take some Test shots for Check your Correct WB and Shutter Speeds…
•Try to take 3-4 Different Exposure and Aperture Blue Hour Shots. And Decide after go home which 1 is Better. After sometime you will know What Settings more Suitable for Blue Hour Shots.
•Use of Tri-Pod Compulsory…Coz you shooting Long Exposure and Tri-Pod help you to Compose your Frame Easily and Steady your Shot.
The day that started out foggy turned out to be pretty sunny by the time we made it to Washago. This is where the CNR's Bala Subdivision, Toronto to the West, crossed the Newmarket Sub from Toronto to North Bay and its connection to the Montreal-to-the-West mainline as well as the Ontario Northland to the north. The Bala was the former Canadian Northern and the Newmarket was the former Grand Trunk; they took opposite sides of Lake Simcoe north of Toronto and crossed here, north of the lake, to pursue their destinations to the north (Newmarket, ex-GT) or to the west (Bala, ex-CNoR.) Until 1921 the two railroads crossed each other at an interlocking tower; once the two railroads became one - Canadian National - the crossing was eliminated and other rearrangements of the two mainlines occurred as a result of highway changes to eliminate a bottleneck where the railroads lines were crossed. The Severn River crossing was also a factor in this re-arrangement. This is Train 220 (Winnipeg to Toronto) as it approaches the depot off of the Bala Subdivision. Mostly piggies, it has a "stock car in use" (my notes...I guess there were live ones in it?) first out behind the units. That wasn't an uncommon sight even well into the '80s out on the Canadian Prairies. The train had only 33 cars and van behind those three wide-cab GP40-2's, so I suspect it was pretty hot beef back there...and that is my friend's AMC "Gremlin" underneath the water tank. It seems to sneak into a lot of shots of mine!
They say the weather is very changeable in Scotland , which I've always found to be true, today being no exception, the day started off in a full on blizzard in Glencoe and I didn't even get the camera out at sunrise as you couldn't see a thing, driving was hazardous to say the least as well as just narrowly missed an oncoming lorry on the A82 which had swerved onto my side of the road to avoid a large ice deposit off a previous lorry right into my path, luckily it missed me.
Headed out again after breakfast through it once again and decided to head South towards Taynuilt and Oban, once out of the snow it just didn't stop raining, all day apart from a few moments at Kilchurn Castle on Loch Awe where I managed a few shots. After spending the afternoon in Oban I decided to scout out the best vantage point for Castle Stalker for a better day as the advertised viewpoint is really poor in my view, once I found my spot the rain was easing off but the weather was still pretty poor with low cloud, and hardly any light apart from a promising tiny patch
over towards Mull, with nothing spoiling I decided to just wait here on the offchance of a break.
about 40 minutes it really picked up and I was rewarded with what turned out to be a phenomenal sunset, this image was just the start of it before the sun had fully dropped under the large bank of cloud at the top of the frame, the light was just sublime, there is no way you could have envisaged this sunset at the start of the day or even an hour before, just goes to show you really cannot predict the changes in the weather up here off sight alone, I'll post a few more of these images in the coming weeks as they are quite different, the afterglow after sundow was a stunner as well with some great pinks and purples kicking off over the loch. Spent about 2.5 hours here and loved every minute of it, only realised how cold I was once I'd got back to the car!
When I started the 100strangers project, coloured hair was one of the key factors for choosing a stranger; people started telling me I was doing a project with subject with coloured hair and I wanted to move on.
Watching the people walk around the Duomo area, I could not avoid noticing these
blue hair: just too amazing!
Yvonneè was walking with Asia and they agreed to help me with the project despite being quite in a rush.
We were near the alley I noticed when I met Mario in Milan a while back and this was my chance to shoot a stranger there.
Asia helped me with the reflector and made sure everything was fine with Yvonneè, who preferred to get rid of her glasses for the shooting. I'm not sure Yvonneè was too happy with the result, mainly because she had no makeup.
Thank you ladies: it was fun meeting you!

Ho capito che valgo tanto quando ho deciso di mettere al primo posto me...
chiamatelo pure egoismo ma amare se stessi è il primo passo per amare il prossimo...
ora dite di me pure ciò che volete pure che non valgo un soldo bucato, ma fossi in voi mi farei un esamino di coscienza, e credetemi credo che nn basti la varechina per farla tornare pulita...
continuate pure a dipingermi come una stronza e mi raccomando esagerate perchè nn voglio Sfigurare... 😉
