Technique: This male was so territorial that I was able to pick the grass stalk it was on and hold it up to the sky to shoot it. I shaded the critter so that the flash would be the primary light source (allowing me to freeze motion) and used the natural light to expose the background (partly cloudy skies).
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 200 with highlight tone priority) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 3x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on the Canon flash mount, E-TTL metering with -1 2/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

And yes, it does indeed have an articulated waist.
Technique used for the removable plates with coal.
----------
The Litra Fals coal wagons were built in Denmark by Scandia on license from Talbot in Germany.
In total 18 wagons were built from 1981-1982.
They were all part of the company's famous coal train "kultoget" transporting coal from Vestkraft in the costal city of Esbjerg to Herningværket power plant in the inland city of Herning from the year 1982 to 2000.
All were sold to France in 2000.

when i'm reaching around a tripod, that is. I'm actually doing a k10, p1 here so i say "knit" and then "purl" a few times :)
i'm trying to upload a video I also shot of me knitting English, which is the way I used to knit, but it's taking forever.
My first attempt at the awesome Brenizer technique so, named after its inventor Ryan Brenizer. This look like an ordinary image? Well, it isn't. This is actually a composite of 11 images shot at f/1.6
I later realized that i'd screwed up slightly on the focal planes somewhere while shooting the 11 images. Hence the mismatched ridges on the bridge.
Read more about the Brenizer Technique here..

Men-an-Tol, Cornwall
Same technique of background torch and head torch for Men-an Tol. This is a truly strange stone structure in Cornwall…
Heres what I do:
1. Use an x-acto knife and turn the polaroid face down and cut around the edges of the negative (the black part on the back)
2. Pull the two pieces apart and save the negative for later to be taped back on.
3. Use watercolors on top of the chemicals on the positive side (the back of the photo where it looks pastel) and apply a heavy layer; they almost instantly blead through and "stain" the image.
4. When you reach your accomplished look just clean off the excess paint and then re-attach the back and tape all 4 sides.
That's it! youre done :)
Sidenotes:
When you pull the two pieces apart sometimes you get areas where there is more emulsion than in other parts so these areas will need to have thicker watercolor applied and may need more time to sink in.
I hope all of this makes sense; its kind of like painting backwards
:)
Just play around with trying new things and have fun!

a bit more variety than just lots of 2x4 bricks im trying to post haha
one of the mocs im more happy to have built, but only ever made one wall
the lights and gramophone i got from other people, but the rest is all from me
i kind of got lost on what sort of building i wanted to make, only really had an idea for a good door idea with a little arch. however i dont like lego arches since they have that empty gap under, which in this case would hinder the looks. arguable but i think the walls around the door being all flat is much nicer looking
no lego door also really had that feeling i was going for, so i just made my own
the windows took a while but i found a solution to make the 2x6 grid which i think looks real nice
this was about last year id say
Collages made of images captured Satruday morning at the Grant Park skate park. The two photos were taken with a XF55-200mmF3.5-4.8 R LM OIS lens on a Fujifilm X-Pro2 camera at ISO 200, F/8, and 1/1000s.
I’ve been working on a large MOC that requires modeling lots of brush. The goal is something relatively sturdy, natural looking, and dense, without being prohibitively parts heavy. Mostly this is just me figuring out ways to hold the 1 and 3 leaf pieces (2423 and 2417) at weird angles, ideally with a minimal support structure.

Terry's technique for scratchbuilding involves building up layers of thin cardboard and the results as can be seen here are excellent. M505 XFY is a Mercedes 814L truck chassis with a Buffalo body by North West Coach Sales and the model represents it in Moseley dealer stock circa 2003 when Terry looked at it with a view to buying it for his Vista Coachways fleet, but he didn't and it was later sold to Edwards of Llantwit Fardre.
Here's something I thought of and I thought it looked cool. I'm not sure if it's been done before, but it's pretty cool.

I painted this before breakfast this morning. I received an email from Flickr alerting me to someone adding me as a contact. I looked them up and looked at their favorites which were mostly watercolors. I studied them closely and discovered that the ones I liked used wet-in-wet technique and the colors were light, unsaturated and close to the same value. I wondered if I could achieve the same look in ArtRage.
It took a bit of experimenting, but I managed to get something similar. I used a combination of the watercolor brush set with lots of thinner, the airbrush tool, and the flat palette knife to do blending.
A lot of my paintings are like this one - an experiment in technique rather than a finished painting.
I like the foreground. It has the look I was trying to achieve of blended colors with some hard edges.

The border of Garheim is now much more fortified with the newly constructed Samostrel Castle. Intruders are immediately shot by a giant crossbow if they come to close.
I know you all were expecting a huge siege scene, but I was saving this for GC4, and when I couldn't enter it, I decided to upload it here. This is my biggest build yet, and I was able to include some new techniques I haven't tried before.
Thanks for viewing!

I think you can never built in too many styles. This was really just a tablescrap I built around the weird track the barrel runs in to adjust elevation. It's probably impractical for any application more serious than this one, but I like stuff like that anyway. Plus, it's been ages since I built a tank.
Fiction: Jackie Rivera, an attractive, charismatic, and energetic young lead vocalist for her band Night Whispers, is about to finish her second set of songs with her band until master martial magician Alexander Victor's grandmother, his mentor and "partner in crime", stops her to ask for directions to the Circus Club. Backstage when no one's around and looking.
Well, it is just the two of them until Alexander suddenly appears from nowhere to grab Jackie, filling her subconscious with plenty of magic tricks and martial arts techniques... and giving Grandma plenty of time to change Jackie, with no martial arts background at all, into a black belt and karate gi ironed and tailor-made just for her! You see, another unreliable assistant bailed out at the last minute, leaving Alexander and his grandmother to take desperate measures, even if it means kidnapping a young woman to ensure his fans a performance!

The Witches Tower build techniques. When I make these large builds I usually try to come up with a technique I haven’t seen before or try something I haven’t done before. It helps make these projects more interesting to build and makes bulk ordering parts a lot simpler.
This build I wanted to try messing around with flex tube to get the correct spacing I wanted for the bricks. I did try mixel ball joints and hinges but I quickly realised the price would get expensive quick. Flex tube just ended up being the simpler option and gave me a lot of options to attach things to.
The technique I use for the framing in the rock has been used in all my show displays. It is the best solution I have come up with to help make elevated terrain. It is very strong and light for transport. Its also quick to build and easy to change if need be.
Back in 2020, I uploaded a five-act video highlighting the delicate and ephemeral beauty of soap bubble films interacting with incident light to produce dynamic interference patterns of unique, colorful and infinite fascinating forms, see this link: www.flickr.com/photos/193488782@N06/51759190926/in/album-...
In the process I discovered that lighting of the soap bubbles is both tricky and paramount to getting quality still or moving images of the interference patterns. All published videos I came across on the Internet light the bubbles from above, generally with diffused light from soft boxes or light boxes. However, I found the published lighting technique hampered with undesired reflection issues, camera maneuvering limitations and incomplete lighting of the bubbles. Instead, I pivoted to a different lighting technique that involved illuminating the soap bubbles from below using a 4” flat LED light that provided uniform illumination of the subject. A light table could have instead been used with the same result provided it is uniform, does not impart a color cast or excessive flickering, the latter being especially important for video captures.
In order to prevent soap seepage into the LED light circuitry, the upward facing light housing was covered with a clear glass plate taken from picture frame onto which the soap bubbles were placed.
The camera was focused on the far (back) side of the bubbles where colors and forms are best captured. To minimize ghosting effects from the near side of the bubbles, a piece of thick white paper was inserted between the LED light and the cover glass to partially block light from the forward half portion of the LED light. A black paper insert can also be used but has not been found to make a noticeable difference from that of the white paper.
A black velvet blind was hung 5 ft from the soap bubbles opposite to the tripod-mounted camera. The ambient light was killed to prevent reflection of room features onto the soap bubbles. Here, a 105 mm macro lens is used as it offered good flexibility for capturing the entire bubbles as well as their macro features by simply moving the camera in closer. Lens extension tubes can be used to get even closer to capture the finer details of the interference patterns. The larger the soap bubbles, the better in as far as reducing the working depth of field when larger bubble surface area are to be captured by the camera. Here the bubbles were about 3.5” in diameter at their bases.
Several other lenses and countless camera settings can be used to capture different aspects of the soap bubble light interference patterns. Likewise, soap formulations, bubble sizes and bubble application techniques are just as many. Those variables are left to the discretion of the experimentalist photographers interested in discovering the beauty of soap bubbles. All that’s needed is rekindling the innate curiosity of children. This is a perfect project for those long cold winter evenings.

This notation from page 12 of the 1998 copyrighted volume, THE COMPLETE M1 GARAND, details the analysis of machinists, industrial engineers, and photomicrographic technicians regarding this phenomenon, observed mainly in the over two million wartime rifles, intermittently.
In particular, Nicholas Gaal of Mesa showed us how this milling machine effect transpires. Interesting lesson in applied production techniques, not to mention forensic & scientific examination. He did precision mill work and machining for half a century.
The others contacted, including retired SA personnel contacted in the 80's, verified. Glenn Lilly, machinist, engineer, and process analyst, was also in the since-deleted footnotes. Van Miller worked at Springfield Armory 1939-55 or so.
The production engineering consultants agreed, and so did the surviving staff. Microscope tracking of the marks and stress photography verified.
It was not seen as a defect, and in fact, as noted in the analysis, the receivers were probably a tad stronger in that "horseshoe" area than others.
This was discussed with other machinists and production engineering/applications specialists, and surviving firearms manufacturing personnel of that place and period.
Verification and corroboration was universal. And unanimous.
All the expert testimony, of course, means nothing to Internet gods and omnipotent experts who weren't even born twenty or thirty years after this happened. They "know" stuff because they "hear it" from...whoever they hear their untest insane malarkey from.
This happened very intermittently at the very height of production. The forgings, of course, had been detail inspected, long before this eventuated. It is not a fault or void, that was established even before the instrumentation was assembled.
Interesting sub-factoid: The rifle on the right was received with a fabric strap with G.I. buckles, but the material was apparently off some other U.S. government strapping setup, and while 1 1/4", bore a stock number suggesting it was never intended for rifles. If I recall, it was for a very large duffel-style equipment cover of some type. However, it was very sturdy material, heavier than that seen on canvas straps for rifles. It was re-purposed and stitched in a non-regulation manner, that frayed end never having received the metal fitting. Eventually a crush fit "tongue" was installed, and it was given away. It was very long.
Another amusing note: Rifle #44702, the next unit left, still bore a very badly worn barrel from September of 1940 and its original butt stock, plus several other very early parts. In the research ongoing on the time, that was an interesting signal of sorts: the gas trap configuration was being dumped and reversed within a few months of manufacture. Fitted with a "replica" barrel, surmarked "RSB", correct short pinion/flush nut rear sight setup, and a few other restoratives, that old rifle, still accompanied by its old original tube separately, was passed on to a friend in federal law enforcement. No idea how or why the original replacement 1940 barrel was still mounted, as the receiver had undergone the procedures to obviate the "seventh round stoppage" issue, and the prevailing theory among the collectors who saw it was that POSSIBLY (no, not "definitely"--there is a difference!!) the change-outs would've been done simultaneously with the removal of the shorter "gas trap" barrel rig.
This might've been the "feature" shot of that shipment, in which case those T105 rear sights were on 44702 when unpacked. However, the last smatterings of detailed notes I have from the time said, "Damaged flush nut sights on rifle but not secure." I am not sure at what point I purchased the other set of flush nuts, or swapped out the parts. I handled so much material at that time it was a blur within a few weeks. Main point being, RESTORATIONS ARE EXPENSIVE and not a lot of fun.
The 'smith who did the measuring and metallurgical workups had some other fascinating observations, too, on both of these rifles. He worked on them 1938-62, and was light years ahead of any of us on the minute details. Even further ahead of the published literature!!!
However, no hard tracks of this seem to remain at the armory, apparently, and the industrial historians seem never to speak with mere "ordinary" factory workers, either vintage ones or those who have done similar operations. I did, as best I could, and a lot of times did not understand what I was being told. This made sense, generally, much later, when the student in me re-read the notes.
These things are continually attacked.
I never could figure out why, and lately, am uninterested in knowing.
Since doing the missives, and especially since 2008, I've been tossing notes and targets and the flotsam and jetsam of a half century of what, essentially, has been sadly wasted time I could've spent doing something productive. And the paperwork on this critter is part of that cleanup.
If I'd known this entire sillyassed adventure ended with throwing out half a ton of notes as late as forty years after taking them, and not generate any respect or income worth discussing, I'd have spent my time looking out the window instead.
The move in 2020 involved hauling another half ton of notes and targets to the dumpster, along with the manuscripts and synopses of books and other research that will never be published or distributed
Annoying assertions in "whacko world" are held, as Azimov so wisely remarked some forty + years ago, in esteem by some as if they were information, knowledge, logic, or analysis. How sad.

I made a master board for the die-cut snowflakes. I took recycled packaging cardboard, slathered it with paints, sprays, glimmers, embossed papers, gilding, molding paste through stencils, microbeads, etc. etc. etc. It looks like a big old mess until you cut out the shapes. But then you are left with wonderful details and texture.
