Scarfs are cool.

I have been a very long time reader of a web comic called Real Life Comics. I found the series back in probably around 2002, went back and read all past strips and then have been reading ever since. Needless to say, I have been a big fan. Unfortunately, I never really got into posting on some of the forums and fan groups because I just didn’t need yet another social site to try and keep up with. None the less, I love the strip and the work that Greg does. Every now and then he would throw up a strip that nearly mirrors conversations that Sarah and I have had! (Some of them almost verbatim).

Well yesterday Greg posted about a charity auction that he was helping out with by donating his hand made 4th Doctor Who scarf! Now, Sarah already owns a 4th Doctor scarf and loves it. I have always been jealous of her massive warmth in who-dom. So I got pretty excited about the potential to have my own that 1: Was hand made by someone who I am a big fan of, 2: helps out a great charity!

So Last night I sat and watched the timer tick down on the auction waiting for the price to skyrocket out of my range and was pleasantly surprised when it didn’t! For just over $200 I am now the proud owner of Greg Dean’s Hand Made Doctor Who Scarf!

Big thanks go out to Greg for making laugh on a (nearly) daily basis!

TARDIS Long Exposure pictures

Using the same technique I was talking about in my last post, I decided to take a good subject out to a good location and try again. This time I went to one of the local Battlefield areas and found a great hill that provided an amazing view. L st night the weather was nice and clear so there were some good stars out as well.

I opted for two styles of picture, the straight long exposure that I turned in a good B/W shot, and a colorful light painting shot. For the subject, I used my ½ scale TARDIS that my son and I built. The light painting was actually done with Sonic Screwdrivers as my son and his friend ran wildly around the TARDIS.

Overall I am happy with the results. They aren’t HDR, this is just a single shot taken between 2-3 min long. I fired the strobe once or twice on the outside of the TARDIS to give detail and then twice inside to give the light. (Click for Flickr Link)
