Technique: "Monochrome" effect in photography is a term generally used to describe a photograph in one color or shades of one color. Monochromatic light is light of a single wavelength, though in practice it can refer to light of a narrow wavelength range. A monochromatic object or image is one whose range of colors consists of shades of a single color or hue; monochrome images in neutral colors are also known as grayscale or black-and-white.

I figured out how to non-destructively open up a DUPLO figure. The key is to remove the bar like element. This bar is 2.75L and 3.0mm at the ends but 3.2mm in the middle. You can clip stuff to the middle and poke the ends into Modulex. See the whole writeup at www.dagsbricks.com/2014/07/lego-techniques-duplo-figure-b...

Iphone and Ipad, as it should be ;-)
Alright, after weeks of no upload I come up with this... uh.. A rather mediocre picture of studs.
What, studs? Not just any studs... some sort of discussion on another pic got me thinking about
ways to make water in my future MOCs. I was thinking of using something similar to this
(the picture sucks pretty much so it doesn't look so good here, but it has been used in
this 'Last March of the Ents' MOC and some others I've seen) and I started to wonder whether
I should even think of using something like this at all, or perhaps move to something else...
This way of making water would be using lots of loose transparent studs, and maybe
cheese slopes as well. For Helm's Deep, I wanted to use either one of these:
a) just trans clear studs etc. or b) trans clear studs mixed with trans lt. blue.
So I wanted to know if you guys thought of this as a good idea,
or if I should start thinking of something else... this would otherwise also be used for water
and it would look better with some layers of blue colors under it, I suppose.
If you've got a suggestion or an idea for water, feel free to post something... I could go for
something like this in Helm's Deep,
and use the "Derfel Cadarn water" for other things, so to call it.
And yes, that is, or rather was, a Rohirrim...
NOTE: Osgiliath is still being made as of now. Planning to do a preview shot soon,
and I want to start some photography improvements in a bit before I post new MOCs of mine...
Has it been over a year since I last publicly posted an actual MOC, other than figures?!

Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and a new observing technique, astronomers have found that dark matter forms much smaller clumps than previously known. This result confirms one of the fundamental predictions of the widely accepted "cold dark matter" theory.
All galaxies, according to this theory, form and are embedded within clouds of dark matter. Dark matter itself consists of slow-moving, or “cold,” particles that come together to form structures ranging from hundreds of thousands of times the mass of the Milky Way galaxy to clumps no more massive than the heft of a commercial airplane. (In this context, "cold" refers to the particles' speed.)
The Hubble observation yields new insights into the nature of dark matter and how it behaves. "We made a very compelling observational test for the cold dark matter model and it passes with flying colors," said Tommaso Treu of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), a member of the observing team.
Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that makes up the bulk of the universe's mass and creates the scaffolding upon which galaxies are built. Although astronomers cannot see dark matter, they can detect its presence indirectly by measuring how its gravity affects stars and galaxies. Detecting the smallest dark matter formations by looking for embedded stars can be difficult or impossible, because they contain very few stars.
While dark matter concentrations have been detected around large- and medium-sized galaxies, much smaller clumps of dark matter have not been found until now. In the absence of observational evidence for such small-scale clumps, some researchers have developed alternative theories, including "warm dark matter." This idea suggests that dark matter particles are fast moving, zipping along too quickly to merge and form smaller concentrations. The new observations do not support this scenario, finding that dark matter is "colder" than it would have to be in the warm dark matter alternative theory.
"Dark matter is colder than we knew at smaller scales," said Anna Nierenberg of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, leader of the Hubble survey. "Astronomers have carried out other observational tests of dark matter theories before, but ours provides the strongest evidence yet for the presence of small clumps of cold dark matter. By combining the latest theoretical predictions, statistical tools and new Hubble observations, we now have a much more robust result than was previously possible."
Hunting for dark matter concentrations devoid of stars has proved challenging. The Hubble research team, however, used a technique in which they did not need to look for the gravitational influence of stars as tracers of dark matter. The team targeted eight powerful and distant cosmic "streetlights," called quasars (regions around active black holes that emit enormous amounts of light). The astronomers measured how the light emitted by oxygen and neon gas orbiting each of the quasars' black holes is warped by the gravity of a massive foreground galaxy, which is acting as a magnifying lens.
Using this method, the team uncovered dark matter clumps along the telescope's line of sight to the quasars, as well as in and around the intervening lensing galaxies. The dark matter concentrations detected by Hubble are 1/10,000th to 1/100,000th times the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo. Many of these tiny groupings most likely do not contain even small galaxies, and therefore would have been impossible to detect by the traditional method of looking for embedded stars.
The eight quasars and galaxies were aligned so precisely that the warping effect, called gravitational lensing, produced four distorted images of each quasar. The effect is like looking at a funhouse mirror. Such quadruple images of quasars are rare because of the nearly exact alignment needed between the foreground galaxy and background quasar. However, the researchers needed the multiple images to conduct a more detailed analysis.
The presence of the dark matter clumps alters the apparent brightness and position of each distorted quasar image. Astronomers compared these measurements with predictions of how the quasar images would look without the influence of the dark matter. The researchers used the measurements to calculate the masses of the tiny dark matter concentrations. To analyze the data, the researchers also developed elaborate computing programs and intensive reconstruction techniques.
"Imagine that each one of these eight galaxies is a giant magnifying glass," explained team member Daniel Gilman of UCLA. "Small dark matter clumps act as small cracks on the magnifying glass, altering the brightness and position of the four quasar images compared to what you would expect to see if the glass were smooth."
The researchers used Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 to capture the near-infrared light from each quasar and disperse it into its component colors for study with spectroscopy. Unique emissions from the background quasars are best seen in infrared light. "Hubble's observations from space allow us to make these measurements in galaxy systems that would not be accessible with the lower resolution of ground-based telescopes—and Earth's atmosphere is opaque to the infrared light we needed to observe," explained team member Simon Birrer of UCLA.
Treu added: "It's incredible that after nearly 30 years of operation, Hubble is enabling cutting-edge views into fundamental physics and the nature of the universe that we didn't even dream of when the telescope was launched."
The gravitational lenses were discovered by sifting through ground-based surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Dark Energy Survey, which provide the most detailed three-dimensional maps of the universe ever made. The quasars are located roughly 10 billion light-years from Earth; the foreground galaxies, about 2 billion light-years.
The number of small structures detected in the study offers more clues about dark matter's nature. "The particle properties of dark matter affect how many clumps form," Nierenberg explained. "That means you can learn about the particle physics of dark matter by counting the number of small clumps."
However, the type of particle that makes up dark matter is still a mystery. "At present, there's no direct evidence in the lab that dark matter particles exist," Birrer said. "Particle physicists would not even talk about dark matter if the cosmologists didn’t say it's there, based on observations of its effects. When we cosmologists talk about dark matter, we're asking 'how does it govern the appearance of the universe, and on what scales?'"
Astronomers will be able to conduct follow-up studies of dark matter using future NASA space telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope and the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), both infrared observatories. Webb will be capable of efficiently obtaining these measurements for all known quadruply lensed quasars. WFIRST's sharpness and large field of view will help astronomers make observations of the entire region of space affected by the immense gravitational field of massive galaxies and galaxy clusters. This will help researchers uncover many more of these rare systems.
The team will present its results at the 235th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy in Washington, D.C.

Iphonography Time Lapse - I've just recently discovered the technique behind time lapse. The I discovered the easy solution; an iPhone app, capturing, editing and rendering the whole thing. This is my 4.th iphone time lapse, but the first shared on flickr.
This image was produced using a technique called freelensing. This involves simple dismounting your lens and holding it a few millimetres away from your camera. You can then move the lens backwards and forwards to focus and tilt the lens for a tilt-shift type effect.
I've found this technique can work well with a wide variety of lenses from standard modern AF lenses, to classic manual focus lenses, to various weird lenses like 35mm projection lenses.
You images will be very low contrast and hazy because of all the extraneous light that will reach the sensor, but I like this effect. You can use lots of dehire slider in Lightroom to cut through the haze, which tend to introduce quite a bit of false colours, which again, is an effect I quite like.
This image was shot using a ;lens from a Lomo Diana plastic toy camera.
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.

For my 21st birthday Perry bought me this book.
Perry was someone I met when I first went to college and is someone I love. She was creative, artistic, fun, caring and a unique personality. Val and I shared a flat for a time with Perry and Simon in London. Perry died in a road accident. She was a teacher with young children.
I still think about Perry a lot. She had a big impact on me.
The book is a "sex manual" with drawings and photos that are not really explicit. The title "Sexual Techniques" says it all..

BACKSTORY: We went to BronyCon again this year, but we only went for a few hours on the way back from an exhausting family vacation! The previous year, we spent the pretty much the whole weekend there. Then the following year (2015), we didn't go at all. Attendance is over 10,000 nowadays. Frickin' crazy.
This photo + the traction engines was created by what i think is a technique which i think i have discovered.I have seen no other explanation as to how i have done this.It is done in Adobe ACR and takes seconds to create.On some Photo's,especially where there are people it creates a psuedo 3d HDR effect.
