Devi and Mr. Hedge!! Sounds like a superhero duo to me. Especially with the red, white and blue.

This outfit mysteriously showed up here a while ago, so I'm glad Devi had a good use for it.

I try not to be too concerned about the number of items that mysteriously show up. Although Amazon Prime day being last week, I am curious to see what turns up in the next day or so.

Hehe, henceforth they shall be known as the Diminutive Duo!

I thought that I'd managed to escape from Amazon Prime Day without taking any damage. Silly me...

Tori had to disabuse me of that notion because we "absolutely, positively need to have a mini speaker to play our music on!"

And now that we have music, we must have dancing! Of course, some of us need a little help in that regard, so the girls recruited the lovely and talented Nico Robin to be our dance instructor.

Data was the first to sign up for dance lessons!

He's not doing Patrick Swayze level lifts yet, but you can see he's having fun. He's having so much fun, he didn't mind me posting this next photo in the Photo FUN thread.

These talented dancers could have competed in the Cat E challenge, because they are at the top of their art!

What a dynamic! Nico Robin flies high, through artistic means: and she takes us with her.

Great dancing.

But I do have a question. Is Nico Robin on loan from Monkey D. Luffy? I think you ahould try to get Nami to come visit.

Well... if damage like that brings the dollies out to dance... then I say that's no damage at all!

Great job Data keeping up with that sultry firecracker!

She is very beautiful and should master dancing very soon

I think so too, Wolferich!

Yes, I'm sure that they will perfect their technique and I'm hoping that they will treat us all to an even more fantastic show in the future!

We couldn't get Nami, but Nico was everybody's first choice anyway. Personally, I think they wanted Nico, not because of her dancing skills, but because of what happens after she dances.

Haha, the damage has only just begun. They're now debating over which music service to subscribe to: Tidal or Qobuz?

Thanks Funke! Getting to see our beautiful Nico and Data become master dancers will be very fun!

Ok, now onto some new stuff! Today, the flowers in our garden bloomed. And since this month's mini challenge is about flowers, today also became a picture day!

We had a hard time deciding which picture to enter into the challenge, however, we've collected the rest of them and edited them into a slide show movie.

For these photos, we were working on a technique called exposure bracketing. With exposure bracketing, the camera takes a burst of three photos, each with a different exposure value. These photos are then merged into a single photo. For outdoor shots with a lot of dynamic range, this method seems to work really nicely.

Just caught up with their antics; this is great stuff, I love the fantasy cosplay side of dolls and minis are a great way of doing it. The 'computer repairs' was a great funny story

I don't know if it's due to the exposure bracketing, but the 3D effect obtained in this video is very interesting.
Great job!

Thanks LT! Yeah, the minis are a lot of fun! I see that your Kim has a mini Kim, so hopefully, we'll see some of mini Kim's adventures here in the mini forum? Also, your Caz/Azreal is awesome!

I think you're right about the exposure bracketing. The background colors end up a lot more vivid than they would be from a normal exposure and improves the depth of field effect. I think the background and Tori being in complementary colors also helps.

I've neglected this thread for quite ahwile, and I'v got to say that this is some great posing!

I love your photography! I'm a bit sad though that your Selene doesn't show up more

I love the movies!

Thanks, Kim! Selene definitely needs to show up more. Even Death Dealers could use some time off, so, hopefully, she'll pay us a (friendly) visit.

We've been enjoying all of the great pictures posted lately. Especially the ones with cars!

I wish I could get a 1:1 scale sports car. The girls wish they could get a 1:6 scale sports car. Instead, we got this 1:64 scale McLaren Senna. It will have to tide us over until we win the lottery.

Of course, it's traditional to have a sexy model show off your sexy car. So, please, give a warm welcome to Gia, who will be presenting the McLaren:

The McLaren Senna has a top speed of 208 mph. At 1:64 scale that would be about 1.5 meters per second. Even miniaturized, that still sounds pretty impressive.
