A Cupcake Central cupcake tasting event where VIP Guests were invited to taste test and critique our new cupcake flavours and designs as part of our rebranding and launch of our first flagship Cupcake Central storefront.
I have been making armor for a while. Today after putting together some of the scales, I had to test them against impact of a sharp object with high impact. The throwing axes used, weigh 2 pounds 4 ounces, or one Kilogram each. It took a few tries to hit the armor but after I had, I finally managed to break the scales with the tip of the throwing axes.
While the backing used for the impact test does not simulate real impact from a claw, or tooth, it does give a fair idea that it would significantly slow the force of a sharp object trying to pierce what is behind it.
The thread used for this test is a low test weight cotton twine, and held up as well as could be expected for the circumstances.
The velocity of the average throw is about 25 to 30 feet per second (time from thrown axe leaving my hand until impact at target) makes it about 17-24.45 Mph
I am not well versed in physics, but can guess that as the points on the axe are less than 1/4 inch across, with 2 plus pounds of force each behind them divided out between them, there is over a pound of weight hitting the scales. there is little to no give of the backing as it is wood, and each of the rounds weighs about 80 pounds. they did rock back about an inch when they were hit. the blades bit in about 2 inches in the unprotected area, and about 1/4 to one half inch into the armor. Suffice to say, I think this will stop light grazing damage, but will not stop serious point impact. I expect broken bones, or at the least serious bruising from impact, but less probability for large open cuts from a slash.
Later tests with different impacts will be forthcoming, but for the moment, this is the hardest impact testing that would show the worth of what I have been working on.
Further, of the 4 sets of armor made, only one withstood the impact and did not break. it had double layers of scales and the twine holding it snapped on impact. the smaller scales experienced the similar damage with no scales being visibly damaged, but the twine sheered and all the scales flew apart.

Robert Edmundson with the Wilson Fire Department tests a hydrant on Hallow Ct. Monday afternoon. Officials say that each hydrent in the city of Wilson is tested each year. Brad Coville | Times
New tool testing!! think it needs a bit of work!!. Didn't manage to get out till gone 10 tonight so was only able to get an hour down the beach!! But it was nice to spend a bit of time winding down before work. ha ha!!
(taken on one exposure, no additions after the exposure. I use aperture3 as a RAW converter and will adjust levels, saturation, white balance, brightness and some minor cropping if required.)

Jonathon let me test out some of his lighting gear yesterday! Had a lot of fun and learned a lot! Thanks again Jon (he took this shot)!
I am not a very good model btw...well, wasn't trying really...just sitting still. :)
(crappy quality sorry)
Oh. My. Goodness.
This was so intense, the entire test was intense. haha, I was nervous for Ian.
The guy sitting next to me said it was one of the best black belt tests he's ever seen!
I met someone like me and he was just so cool.
I am so inspired and grateful.
This guys hashis own dojo, and he plays music and he is a graphic designer and....Oh. my. god.
I feel like I can succedd and he went out of his way to talk to me!
And, wow.
I can't even begin to tell you how good it felt to be encouraged by someone like me!
Ian, did such a great job!
I mean my goodness.
Testing my brand new scanner :)

Im test folding scales to my next desing, scaled dragon. In real version grid would be two or three times smaller.
Edited SpaceX (probably, although I got this from a NASA source) image of a static test firing of a Falcon 9 rocket. This is the rocket that will carry a man-rated capsule to orbit for testing prior to launching people.
Original caption: At NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A, the nine engines of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket roar to life in a brief static firing on Jan. 24, 2019. The test was part of checkouts prior to its liftoff for Demo-1, the inaugural flight of one of the spacecraft designed to take NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station. NASA has worked with SpaceX and Boeing in developing Commercial Crew Program spacecraft to facilitate new human spaceflight systems launching from U.S. soil with the goal of safe, reliable and cost-effective access to low-Earth orbit destinations such as the space station.

Automatic Train Protection enabled Y sets have been traversing various parts of the Sydney Trains Network testing ATP and Digital Train Radio systems before they eveutually roll it out on various trains. Here we see Y2 leading Y1 through Koolewong on their return run to Sydney on 5th April 2014.
These are a few test shots which I took for a local hairdresser at Skullduggeri Hair & Beauty. They wanted something different to the "normal" advertising shots seen on other hairdressing websites. I've never really done any advertising or commercial photography before.
Whilst I was there I was told I was not allowed to photograph any of the clients getting their hair/nails/beauty treatments done! Ever mirror I looked in reflected a person which caused a problem. Also even though the shop had big windows the light was really bad, causing noise on some of images.
I have been in two minds or not if I should post these images or not. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
