Halo Wars!

It was rather cold here today and fortunately I didn't have to be out for too long running errands!  I did, however, manage to assemble some Mega Bloks Halo Wars themed character sets.  The battle that ensued was quite the spectacle and there was much loss of life!

Snoopy & The Snow Flake Bokeh!

The challenge in this series was to cut out a shape in a piece of card stock - black - cover the lens with it so that the focal point for the subject went through the cut out.  I used a snowflake shape that my wife had - she made the cutout for me and helped me to figure out how to secure it to the lens.  The lens was set to the maximum aperture (f1.8) and the shutter speed and ISO adjusted to the correct exposure for the desired effect.  This was way more troublesome to accomplish than the simple description suggests but none the less I got some usable results...

Every King must have a Queen!

How Deep Does the rabbit hole go?

I had a choice - red pill, blue pill.  I chose the red pill!!

Simba chose to take a nap on top of the DVR!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Violence

Powerful men are well advised not to use violence,
For violence has a habit of returning;
Thorns and weeds grow wherever an army goes,
And lean years follow a great war.

A general is well advised
To achieve nothing more than his orders:
Not to take advantage of his victory.
Nor to glory, boast or pride himself;
To do what is dictated by necessity,
But not by choice.

For even the strongest force will weaken with time,
And then its violence will return, and kill it.

-LaoTze-
