The Glitter Machine
I've spent quite a lot of this evening prototyping a widget for work on my little CNC mill, flinging copious quantities of fine brass glitter all over the place.
To (approximately) quote Blondihacks, "When using a milling machine, the chips are usually confined to" (waving her hands broadly around the workshop) "this general area".
I then spent an instructive few minutes measuring, wherein I discovered that my shiny new 2mm cutter was in fact not 2mm at all, but more like 2-and-what's-a-tenth-or-two-of-a-millimetre-between-friends-mm, and my part is consequently the wrong size.
Trust but verify, they say...

At The Toybox
This is my submission for this week's 52Frames' "Show us your toys" challenge.
I recently improved my equipment storage setup with a new cabinet, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to show it off.
It's nice to be able to grab the right lens without wrestling it out of the tiny cabinet I was using before, and my flash and grip gear now has a proper home rather than in boxes on the floor.
It's also been a while since I took a self-portrait, so you get to have my ugly mush foisted upon you today too.
Many lighting sins were atoned for with Lightroom...

Between Two Points
It seemed like an appropriate title for this photo (a backup shot from last night), and some of the lyrics felt a bit fitting after <rant redacted>.
I've been a bit obsessed with the song since I discovered it a few months ago - Between Two points by David Gilmour and Romany Gilmour.

Foggy Conversations
It was unexpectedly foggy when I went out for a walk this evening.
I quite like this one.
