Used the same stock on my other creation, the Lariat Assault rifle.
Lemme know what you think! Thanks :)
Using Green Stuff I sculpted the body of the Soul Grinder, Shoulder Pads from the Daemon Prince, Skulls and Claws from two soul grinder boxes and some misc Chaos vehicle bits.
Me and Guy having our school photo taken, probably late 'sixties or early 'seventies, not sure which.
Note BandAid plaster on Guy's head! LOL. He is also sporting the old Salcombe Boy's School tie.
The photographer was one Noel H Williams from Paignton.
Salcombe Boy's School was a cracking school with great teachers - and we all used to WALK to school!!!
Equipment used: Nikon D90 with Really Right Stuff (RRF) right angle bracket, AF Micro Nikkor 105mm lens, Gitzo 2220 Tripod and Acratech GV2 ball head. Model was kept in a Photek Light Tent.
Multiple images, each focused at a different points were taken and combined with the help of by Helicon Focus software to get an image which is sharp everywhere.
The Alfa Romeo 8C Monza was a great car powered by a 150 HP, supercharged, 2300CC eight cylinder in line (not a V) twin cam engine. It won many races against the more powerful German rivals. These were real drivers’ cars where everything had to do with the skill – no ABS, no traction control, no dual plate clutches, etc. that present computers on four wheels have!
This was a Bburago kit (1/18 scale) that I had built.
Using a cute little car to advertise a cemetery. I wonder if they have Smart hearses?
I apologize for the quality of this, but conditions were not conducive to great photography.
Incidentally, this business is owned by a man named--and I swear I'm not making this up--Dick Tips. He's going to be put away in a gold casket, like Michael Jackson: www.ksat.com/news/19984820/detail.html
A used lot I purchased today. A pretty good haul, considering there are quite a few sets I probably wouldn't have bought otherwise. Not 100% complete, but still worth the price.

La iguana, de la familia Iguanidae, es un reptil escamoso nativo de zonas tropicales. Este género incluye a la iguana del Caribe (Iguana delicatissima) y a la iguana verde o conocida también como Iguana iguana. Esta última es la más utilizada para su cría en cautiverios.
Las iguanas habitan en Centroamérica, Sudamérica, Caribe, a lo largo de las Antillas e Islas Galápagos. Podemos encontrar a estas especies en manglares, selvas, pastizales y riberas de ríos.
Son excelentes trepadoras, por lo que viven en árboles no muy altos y se desplazan entre las plantas a gran velocidad.
El tamaño de las iguanas va desde los 14 cm hasta los 1.5-1.8 metros de largo. La iguana verde puede alcanzar un peso de 15 kg.
El macho posee una cresta más grande y vistosa que la hembra. Poseen una papada, una serie de espinas que abarcan desde la espalda hasta la cola y un tercer ojo en la cabeza llamado “ojo parietal” que sirve para la producción de hormonas necesarias para la termorregulación (nivelación de su temperatura corporal). Detrás de su cuello contienen escamas en forma de picos llamadas escamas tuberculares.
Las iguanas pueden utilizar su larga cola espinosa para defenderse, como es el caso de la iguana verde que puede dar fuertes golpes con esta. Aparentemente son animales agresivos pero si no se les molesta, son asustadizos y resultan ser completamente inofensivos.
Su sentido de la vista está muy desarrollado, pues pueden percibir formas, sombras, colores y movimientos a largas distancias. Utilizan su par de ojos para encontrar su comida y comunicarse entre ellos, pues emplean señales visuales.
Su oreja es llamada tímpano y se localiza detrás de los ojos. La coloración de la piel de las iguanas les permite camuflarse en su entorno para no ser vistas por los depredadores.

Iguana, the Iguanidae family, is a native reptile scaly tropical areas. This genus includes the Caribbean iguana (Iguana delicatissima) and the green iguana or also known as Iguana iguana. The latter is most often used for breeding in captivity.
The iguanas live in Central and South America, Caribbean, along the Caribbean and the Galapagos Islands. We can find these species in mangroves, forests, grasslands and river banks.
They are excellent climbers, so do not live in tall trees and move between floors at high speed.
Iguanas size ranges from 14 cm to 1.5-1.8 meters long. The green iguana can reach a weight of 15 kg.
The male has a larger and more colorful than the female crest. They have a double chin, a series of spines that cover from the back to the tail and a third eye in the head called "parietal eye" that serves for the production of hormones necessary for thermoregulation (leveling your body temperature). Behind her neck shaped flakes containing peaks called tubercular scales.
Iguanas can use to defend their long spiny tail, as in the case of the green iguana can take a big cut with this. Apparently they are aggressive animals but if they are not upset, are scary and turn out to be completely harmless.
His eyesight is very developed, they may perceive shapes, shades, colors and movements over long distances. They use your pair of eyes to find food and communicate, as they use visual cues.
Your ear is called the eardrum and is located behind the eyes. The skin color of iguanas allows them to blend into their surroundings to avoid being seen by predators.

I used the Ruched Maternity Skirt pattern by Megan Nielsen to make this skirt. It literally came together in 15 minutes! I was worried it would be too tight, I get claustrophobic and aches with things going up over my stomach but it is seriously THE most comfortable item of maternity wear I own!! I used this second-hand stretch fabric I scored at the op shop for a few dollars, it said it was lycra and it does have a 4-way stretch but it has a coarser feel to it than just spandex.

Championship three-peat for Crusaders.Richey, Dufficy spark potent offense against Tigers.D3 BOYS' BASKETBALL FINAL: WHITINSVILLE CHRISTIAN 72, LITTLETON 60.By Tom Flanagan CORRESPONDENT..FITCHBURG— All season, Whitinsville Christian star Colin Richey has been using his words to convey his belief that the Crusaders were more than a one-man team. .Yesterday, the junior guard used something else to prove his point — the basketball. ..While Richey had his share of acrobatic moves and fancy finishes, his sharing of the ball to get teammates involved helped propel Whitinsville Christian to a 72-60 win over Littleton in the Central Mass. Division 3 championship game at Fitchburg State University. ..The Crusaders, the defending state champions and winners of three straight Central Mass. titles, will meet St. Joseph's of Pittsfield (19-5) at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday in a state semifinal at the MassMutual Center in Springfield. ..Littleton, the tournament's No. 5 seed, finished 18-7. ..Richey, who finished with 20 points, consistently commanded the attention of two or three Tigers, which opened plenty of space for Tim Dufficy and Jesse Dykstra. ..Dufficy did most of his damage on the perimeter — getting very comfortable in the left corner, from where he canned three 3-pointers in the first half on his way to a game-high 26 points. ..“Tim was wide open at times,” said Richey, who wasn't at full strength because of an ankle injury. “Having guys like him out there if a team collapses on the dribble is great. You just can't leave him open. He made (Littleton) pay when they did.” ..Dufficy didn't exactly step off the bus brimming with confidence, but shook the jitters when he buried a trey on the Crusaders' first possession. ..“I didn't have a great shooting night at all in our last game (against Keefe Tech), but, luckily, my teammates had the confidence in me to get me the ball when I was open,” he said. “Playing with Colin, I know I'll probably get some open shots, and I was able to hit a lot of them.” ..With Richey using his ballhandling skills — particularly an effective crossover dribble that appeared impossible to defend — and Dufficy feeling it from the outside, it became a case of “pick your poison” for Littleton. ..Dykstra, a forward, had a solid inside game, netting 13 points. ..“We have a lot of kids who can play, and every night someone else steps up,” said Whitinsville Christian coach Jeff Bajema, whose team is 17-5. “(Last night) it was Tim, and Tuesday, it will be somebody else. That's how we win.” ..The Crusaders took a 19-13 lead after the first quarter on the strength of a 10-1 run, and poured it on in a dominating second quarter to build a 45-23 lead. ..While the Whitinsville Christian faithful may have spent halftime googling for information on St. Joe's, Richey knew the game was far from decided. ..“This is the fourth Central Mass. final I've been in as a player, and I knew (Littleton) was going to make a run — good teams always do.” Richey said. “They're a good team, and (Tiger junior) Chris Murray is one of the best players in the area.” ..Murray backed up the high praise and helped prove Richey prophetic, as Littleton's 1,000-point scorer shook off a slow first half and erupted for 15 points after intermission. ..Murray, who finished with a team-high 17, converted a three-point play with 6:55 left to cut the Crusaders' lead to 55-41. ..An offensive rebound and bucket from Alvin Muhwezi (10 points) and a strong drive and finish from Murray sliced the lead to 55-45 with 5:02 left, prompting Bajema to take a timeout. ..The Tigers got nine points from junior captain Ryan Sullivan, playing his first game since undergoing shoulder surgery...from www.telegram.com/article/20120311/NEWS/103119896/1152/hom...

Today I decided to experiment with my Voigtländer 15mm lens and as a result I discovered a spot on my sensor and I have been unable to remove it … I can’t even physically see it. I have examined some of my earlier photographs and have discovered that the spot has been there for months.
To be honest I am finding it difficult to use this lens, especially wide-open, because it is a manual focus lens. Some photographs have a lot of distortion especially when the camera is angled.
The Voigtländer 15mm 4.5 Super Wide Heliar E aspherical III is the first native E-Mount lens by Voigtlander. There are a few more on the way.

Mackinac Island, Michigan, is a beautiful island. Located in the Straits of Mackinac, it's about 8-9 miles in circumference.
There's the actual town of Mackinac Island, where the ships dock. Since 1898 (I think), there have been no motorized vehicles allowed on the island (for consumer use, at least) as they scared the horses.
Your modes of transportation are one of three:
1. Horse (and carriage) as a taxi, personal rental, or part of a tour (for about $30/adult). Or, just rent a horse for $50/hour/horse.
2. Bicycles. For rental all over the place in town.
3. Your two feet.
The town of Mackinac Island. Its Main Street -- the first thing you see after passing under the portico from any of the ferries -- is actually Huron Street. One parallel street behind, you have Market Street. There are a number of other streets in the town, too, all easily walkable (obviously). Since this is basically a tourist resort, you'll find about 80% of the establishments in town fall into one of the following categories: fudge shops (12 different companies have fudge shops here), bed & breakfasts, bike rentals, or restaurants (pizzeria, bar/saloon/burger joint). The only eyesore on the island is a Starbucks. It disgusts me to no end. If you intend to spend the night on the island, be prepared to have your wallet lightened substantially, especially in season (Memorial Day to Labor Day).
For overnight accommodations, the most famous place on the island is the Grand Hotel, which has the longest covered porch of any building in the world (660 ft./200 meters). It'll set you back over $400/night. There's no air conditioning. It was built in 1887 and is perfectly imperfect. They finished it in three months. Even to wander the grounds, you have to pay $10 per their signage. On a sunny summer day, it's beautiful, especially with all of the flags flying along the porch. If you aren't inclined to pay through the nose here, the B&Bs, during summer, would probably set you back around $300/night, but don't quote me on that. (The more frugal folks -- like me -- stay in Mackinaw City, slightly expensive, but reasonable, and take day trips to the island.
Speaking of "in season," Mackinac Island has less than 500 year-round residents. Yet, I think they clear 2 million tourists a year. The majority of them come from May-September.
To support that massive influx, there are 600 horses on the island in summer, but only about 200 stay on for winter.
More than the horses, they can't survive without a temporary summer workforce. On the island (and also in Mackinaw City and possibly St. Ignace), you'll find the majority of summer workers are eastern European. They stay until the end of September. This year, I bumped into Turkish, Polish, Montenegran, Serbian, Kosovan, and I'm not sure which other nationalities. Expect to meet some incredibly friendly and happy Europeans.
What's the history of this area? Recent (1600-now), is about all most people focus on. It was originally Native American land, then the French arrived, followed by Brits, and finally Americans.
As a result, there are forts around. Michilimackinac (in Mackinaw City) was the first fort, from the Brits, then Americans. Then the Brits relocated to the island (more strategic) and built Fort Mackinac. While at Fort Mackinac, they also decided to build a more rudimentary fort on the highest ground on the island: Fort George (which the Americans renamed Fort Holmes).
The forts were eventually in the Americans' hands and Fort Mackinac was garrisoned until 1895. So here's your fun trivia: Yellowstone National Park was the first national park created in the U.S. (and world) in 1872. The second national park in the U.S.? Mackinac Island, actually.
The island was a national park (as the parks were actually administered by the military prior to the creation of the Department of the Interior & National Park Service) and it was maintained as a national park until 1895 when the federal government trimmed back a bit and stopped having an active presence on the island. (At this point, the island went to the state and the entire island is now basically Mackinac State Park.)
As it's a state park, you'll find the majority of the island is actually natural -- lots of woods and beautiful walks and trails. Should you have a little wanderlust to get away from the town, you'll find the following:
1. A small airport in the middle of the island.
2. Two 9 hole golf courses (Jewel & Wawashkamo), though you could be creative and call it one where the front and back nine are a bit away from each other.
3. Cemeteries: Protestant, Catholic, and Military. (The military cemetery is one of only 5 in the nation that are permitted to fly flags at half mast year-round due to the unknown soldiers buried here.)
4. Hiking trails that lead to Fort Holmes, Skull Cave, Arch Rock, and other areas on the interior. (Skull Cave is very underwhelming in its current condition, though its history is interesting.)
Among the buildings in town that don't fall into one of the generic categories mentinoed above, you'll find at least 4 churches, the old fur trading store, a police station, a U.S. post office, a school, an old county courthouse (not current as Michilimackinac County no longer exists), an art museum, and a yacht club.
Fort Mackinac, by the way, is actually in town and the price of admission is $13.50 as of this writing. They have soldiers in period uniforms do weapons demonstrations (rifle, cannon), and have all of the buildings maintained to the time of its use (1875-95 or so). Some of the views of the town, Marquette Park, and cove with its two lighthouses are nice. Is it worth $13.50? I don't think so, but hey...if you're only here once, you ought to have a look, especially if the weather's nice and sunny.
During the summer, you'll find that June is the best time to come for flowers -- so many lilacs that the air smells more like flowers than horses. There are also the two boat regattas (Port Huron to Mackinac & Chicago to Mackinac) that end here in the straits. I believe those are in May or June.
All in all, there's a good reason that Mackinac Island is usually voted one of the ten best summer getaways in the country. It's unforgettable and, more than that, it's relaxing. Even with the excessive crowds. I know I haven't covered everything, but it's certainly enough to give you a good idea.
Using KAP for wild life survey is not as simple as I thought it would be !
Visiting Cape Cross fur seal colony in Namibia (with a population from 250 000 to 300 000, it is believed to be largest colony of fur seals in the world), I thought it would be fun to shoot the colony from above and find some ways to number its population.
We quickly found out that the kite needs to be silent and very high in the sky not to be considered as a threat (we attached the camera almost 200 meters (600 feeet) below the flow form 16)
Obviously the close ups are more interesting than the general views where you can count thousands and thousands of seals. I suppose we now need to measure the area which was photographed, count the number of seals, we would then get a population ratio of inhabitatnts per square meter and maybe the global population.
An other problem is to evaluate the number of seals swimming....
Not a very scientific approach but a fun one, especially when some visitors asked us if we were doing a census of the seal population... we had to say yes as it was the answer they were expecting !(no, they were not French !!!)
See it large if you wish to count them !

Le Giulia Granturismo - da cui GT - (da principio denominate Giulia Sprint GT) erano la versione coupé della berlina Alfa Romeo Giulia. La produzione iniziò nel 1963, fu il primo modello coupé (la berlina, Giulia TI, era già in produzione presso tale stabilimento) costruito nell'appena terminato stabilimento Alfa ad Arese, la produzione terminerà solo nel 1976. La carrozzeria, opera di Giorgetto Giugiaro per conto della Bertone, andava a coprire il pianale, con passo accorciato da 251 a 235cm, della Giulia Berlina. Sostituendo la Giulietta Sprint,da cui derivano i due volumi e mezzo, mantenne invariata anche la classica collocazione motore e cambio anteriore, con trazione posteriore. Il design era di una filante ed elegante coupé sportiva 2+2. Il curioso scalino anteriore che caratterizzava tutte le versioni prodotte fino al 1968 e parte di quelle prodotte fino al 1971 era dovuto ad un ripensamento tra l'approvazione del disegno e la messa in produzione dell'auto. Originariamente, infatti, doveva essere una presa d'aria poi abolita per contenere i costi. Ne ha definito una importante e riconoscibile caratteristica stilistica. Divenne una delle vetture più ambite del periodo. Furono prodotte in tutto diverse versioni nelle varie serie, che si possono classificare in: Sprint GT, GT Junior, GT Veloce e GTC "(Gran Turismo Cabriolet)".
Nel 1963 venne presentata la Giulia Sprint GT (serie 105.02), mossa dal quattro cilindri in alluminio con distribuzione bi-albero di 1570cm³ (serie AR00502) derivato dalla berlina, ma potenziato (grazie all'adozione di due carburatori) a 106cv. La meccanica era la stessa della berlina, ma i freni erano a disco su tutte le ruote (le prime 22000 berline 1600 Ti avevano freni a tamburo di cui gli anteriori a tre ganasce, poi nel 1963 a disco Dunlop come la coupé). Gli interni, invece, erano specifici (plancia, sedili, pannelli porta) e la leva del cambio (a 5 rapporti) era a cloche, solo optional sulla berlina. Nel 1965 la carrozzeria Touring di Milano propose all'Alfa Romeo una (esteticamente riuscita) versione cabriolet a 4 posti, denominata Giulia Sprint GTC. I problemi di tenuta all'acqua, le difficoltà della Touring ed il lancio della spider Duetto limitarono la diffusione della GTC a un migliaio di esemplari. Nel 1966, accanto alle versioni Sprint GT con motore di 1,6 litri, entrò in listino una versione di cilindrata ridotta a 1290 cm³, motore serie 00530, dotato di 89cv, denominata Giulia GT 1300 Junior (serie 105.30). La Junior aveva un allestimento ridotto: pavimento in gomma, assenza di servofreno, plancia in plastica priva di consolle centrale, borchie copri ruota semplificate, sedili meno profilati. Riconosciuta come Prima Serie. Nel 1969 le Junior (che persero il nome Giulia per chiamarsi semplicemente GT 1300 Junior) pur mantenendo lo "scalino" vennero dotate di servofreno e di una nuova plancia (simile a quella della GT 1750 Veloce). Questa versione è conosciuta come Seconda Serie.
Nel 1971 le GT Junior adottarono il frontale re stilizzato e privo di scalino, e i parafanghi posteriori con profilo più alto, uniformandosi nella scocca alla 1750 GT Veloce e alla GT 2000 Veloce. L'uniformazione, tuttavia, non fu totale perché le Junior avevano fari singoli (anziché doppi) e una diversa mascherina.
Col restyling, comunque, la gamma "Junior" guadagnò un motore: accanto al 1300 da 89cv era infatti disponibile il 1600 da 109cv (quello 00536 che fu della 1600 Veloce), ora divenuto solo Junior. Infatti la sigla "Veloce" ha sempre caratterizzato i modelli più potenti dal 1968 fu riservato alla 1750 e successivamente anche alla 2000. Questa versione è riconosciuta come la Terza Serie. Nel 1973 tutte le GT subirono l'unificazione estetica con la versione GT 2000 Veloce introdotta nel 1971. anche le GT 1300 Junior e le GT 1600 Junior adottarono la stessa mascherina cromata a quattro fari, una plancia e interni e sedili pressoché uguali a quelli della GT 2000 Veloce, differenziandosi quasi esclusivamente per i fanali posteriori più piccoli. Questa versione è conosciuta come Quarta serie oppure Unificato.
