To give Benio’s her deserved respect here is an article for her ^^.
After acquiring Benios, she wanted to explore the vast and foreign area around her. With Benio being my first ever Shinki I thought I’d also assist with showing off how she articulates and the like in an outdoor setting. Feel free to consider this as a part of a review if you want.
Enjoy the photo-shoot!

Thought I’d try something new with my camera. Might not be new to other serious photographers, but its new to me as I only used it once before during Winterlude 2010. I’m talking about using burst mode in an active location with your camera, then animating it into an animated .gif. I hope you find it to your liking. Oh, and since I added 13 gifs you may experience an internet slow down, or browser lag, depending on your computer set up. I apologize for that.
I also had Saber and Optimistic Penguin‘s blog mascot join me on the experiment as well.

Ah, another stroll with another idea for a Figma photo-shoot. Rin was up for using her Segway as she said hello to others strolling around town.

Ottawa Tulip Festival’s final article as today (Monday) is the last day for the event. I went back to Major’s Hill Park for the final time on Sunday to obtain some final Friendship stage content and to also wrap up the touristic view of Downtown Ottawa. I hope those following the blog enjoyed the 4 (or 5, counting the intro) covering both the Tulips and the Canadian-Dutch WW2′s 1945 celebration.

Part three of the Tulip Festival with an added and continued downtown Ottawa tour. Basically got stuck in the same place due to the incoming storm but it started off differently. I decided to finally get around to showing you guys and gals a long wall of graffiti that other locals and photographers tend to photograph. You may want to view this in large to make out the fine details.

Went back to the Ottawa Tulip Festival on Major’s Hill Park to try and add missing bits and pieces from the previous article. As the Pavilion wasn’t really packed like it was on Saturday I managed to get some decent shots. As I already upped a few videos I didn’t take any new ones of the Tulip.

As things didn’t go as planned I had to split this single topic into two. The first part is of the Tulips for the Tulip Festival (an intro) and a quick incomplete tour of downtown Ottawa.

For those that have been lurking on my forum may have noticed a “trend” of me saying “for a change of scenery I decided to -here- to take pictures of Figmas“. Well, to continue that trend I shall now say:
“For a change of scenery I decided to take pictures of my Figma’s outside of Ottawa, at Sharbrot Lake.”
Only for Figmas? Of course not. I assisted with some minor tasks. Taking pictures of Figmas was just me taking advantage of different scenery.

It appears that the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom in Canada, Ottawa. I took pictures of the one on the Experimental Farm, went too early for the one at Andrew Haydon park, and checking up on some group of trees at a busy Transit way. Someone’s blog mentioned these were Cherry Blossoms but I’m too unsure if these are or not.

In my hunt for more Cherry Blossoms I saw that the Experimental Farm had a few in their garden. Also brought my Figmas with me just to even out the Ottawa scenery bits with a bit of Anime-ness. The Experimental Farm is a vast open space to experiment with crops and such. There is no way you can miss it as it covers a large portion of Ottawa.

With warmer weather comes a stream of pictures and videos! Finally got my bike repaired for this year’s Spring to fall season and some nice enough images to share with you all. I’ve also attempted to try and get my figma collection in some nice outdoor shots, hope they’re in good quality.

Wow, such an unCanadian like day as the weather was oddly warm and summer like. I’m not complaining as I actually enjoyed such an unusually warm weather for late March and early April. It went from being snowy, warm, cloudy, warm, cold, cloudy, rain, cloudy, sunny, cloudy, chilly, warm, windy, warmer, and then into summer in an unusually short time. People didn’t even need a sweater in this weather and to top it off buses could easily turn into a sauna.

Ha, 23rd B-day already? Wow, the birthday thing still has that nice ring to it. Also ended up getting some nice loot for the whole of March. Figmas? Sadly none this time around. I only ended up getting the Lumix GF1 and three Gundam model kits (1/144 scale) this month as I couldn’t spend that much

Getting back to my Gundam roots?
Thought I’d bring back the “Figma/Grail War” in another “experiment” to see if I can take this slightly further. With winter quickly turning into Spring posing figures outdoors should be much easier as fingers won’t numb out as quickly, heh. I also dislike posing figures indoors and would rather use the natural scenery outdoors then fake ones.

This is just one of those “random” articles used to remind myself and post things that I haven’t or can’t theme up in another seperate article. Do feel free to browse this article but do remember everything will be off key.
