Eilean Donan Castle, used in the filming of Highlander.
Second attempt at HDR, this time using different technique. Using 1 RAW image (which really was too dark to see anything but the sky), created 4 other tiff files using CS2 adobe bridge (just change the exposure to -2, -1, +1 and +2). Then loaded these into Photomatix and voila. OK it looks artificial and not too everbody's taste but for me it's just another form of art and a big improvement on what was a discarded photo.
Comments as always welcome.
I bent the rings from copper rod on my DiAcro #2, then brazed them with 50N. The straps are all cotton and the rivets are solid copper and are set by hand.
The nearest metro station is Déli pályaudvar (Metro 2) or Batthyány tér (Metro 2), then you need to walk up to Castle Hill.

"Film d'essai" (test film) of my French range-finder 35 mm camera Foca PF2B (year 1956) after the shutter new adjustments.
I used here a 36 exposure Ilford Pan100 film exposed for 100 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The Foca Oplar lens1:2.8 f=5cm was fitted with a FOCA "AUV"(Anti-UV) filter and a Genaco metal shade hood, both push-on 42mm.

After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 9 min.
The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg.
About the camera and the lens:
The Foca type PF2B (PF for "Petit Format") was constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) starting from 1947. It was manufactured in the Chateaudun OPL factory, route de Jallans, France, in 1956 among a late series of the PF2B. The factory, constructed in 1938, is still at the same place under the name of SAFRAN now producing precision devices for aerospace appliances.
The camera is equipped with the collapsible OPLAR lens (a Tessar formula) 1:2.8 f=5cm. The focal shutter of the PF2B has timing of 1/1000, 1/500, 1/200, 1/100, 1/50 and 1/25s plus the B pose. A slow exposure device below 1/25s could be installed by the aftermarket service and was installed in series for the FOCA PF3 type.

Object of the adjustments :
Due to the presence the original factory seals on the shutter adjustments, I knew that the camera has never been adjusted of serviced since 1956!
Until now the 1/25s, 1/50s and 1/100s suffered from inconsistent curtains travel speeds causing band inhomogeneities in the exposure. The 1/1000, 1/500 and 1/200s were however coherent. I proceeded here as follows :
1- The shutter being on B setting, proceeding by half turns only on the adjustment screw, I increased the spring tension of the first curtain by 2 half anti-clockwise turns causing more regular and fast opening of the first curtain.
2- Then I did the same on the second curtains to get a similar speed of closure.
3- I checked visually that all speed gives homogenous opening scans from 1/25s to 1/1000 (proceed without the lens mounted).
Likely the 1/25s is still slow but I decided to see the results obtained on a test film. The exposures ae now all homogenous. Following the densities given by the Sony A7 during the digitalization, one could deduce that 1/50s gives +0,3 EV more than expected (ie 1/30s instead of 1/50s) and 1/25s gives +1.3 EV (ie 1/10s instead of 1/25s). After the test film I added 1/2 turn to the first curtains to increase the travel speed.

This is an HDR image shot in Tallinn, Estonia. Three images where shot using Auto Exposure Bracketing at +2,0,-2. Then these images were combined in a single High Dynamic Range image and tone mapping was used to create an image visible on a computer screen.
This photo was taken at three exposures (-2...0...+2), then tone-mapped in Photomatix Pro, and sharpened in Photoshop. Enjoy!
Amit Elor, the 20-year-old sensation from the United States in women’s freestyle wrestling, has won a gold medal at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at 68 kg in women’s freestyle, becoming the youngest American wrestler of any gender or discipline to win Olympic gold.
Elor controlled 2020 Olympic bronze medalist Meerim Zhumanazarova of Kyrgyzstan in the finals on Tuesday night, 3-0. All of her points were scored in the first period, when Elor scored on a counter takedown, then added another point after Zhumanazarova was placed on the shot clock and did not score. In the second period, Elor continued to force the action, but no other points were scored.
She was dominant on Monday, beating 2023 World champion Buse Cavusoglu Tosun of Turkey, 10-2, then shut out Wiktoria Choluj of Poland, 8-0 in the quarterfinals. Her semifinals win was a 10-0 technical fall over Sol Gum Pak of North Korea.

Todd is my opposite... Whereas I am the first of my entire familial generation, Todd is the very last -- grandchild #11. My dad was an only child, and my mom was 1 of 5. All had 2... Then a good 10 years later, Todd -- #11 came. Ironically, he's HUGE now! "My how you've grown." He's in highschool or something.

Lindsey Wilson College junior shortstop turns the second out of a double play as College of the Ozarks’ Jeffy Wolf slides into second base in the top of the sixth inning of the first game of Friday afternoon’s doubleheader at Egnew Park. LWC won the game 3-2, then the Blue Raiders swept the doubleheader with a 6-0 win in the second game to improve to 4-1 on the season. LWC and College of the Ozarks play another doubleheader at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Egnew Park, 820 Hanley Lane.
Wasn't that steep, muddy, or technical, but the location in the course, spacing of the barriers, just shattered racers. Haven't seen so many Suffer Faces in one 9ft section of course all year. It stole their form too, and it was anything goes to get it up yet. At 2, then 1, to go, guys we're resting their heads on their arms as they pushed up it.

One moment, I was walking around with other Boston Photo Mob folks near Quincy Market (at the Boston Photo Mob Meetup #2)... then I turned a corner and found myself peering into turn-of-the-century Boston...
I used two techniques to achieve this effect: First, I basically followed the instructions given by DWinton for Duotone & Aged Photos. Second, I applied a Fake Lomo Effect. The one thing I couldn't figure out how to do was to introduce some realistic scratches or age-noise into the photo... if anyone has suggestions for how to rough it up a bit, please let me know!
CP Bensenville Yard is an interesting place to railfan because of all the different railroads that utilize the facility, here we see a CP GP38-2 deep in the yard with a yard job, a light set of power consisting of a CP GP38AC and SOO GP38-2, then there is CP G39 with a CSX C40-8W and UP C44-9W, then off to the right is a NS C40-9 at the engine pit.

Until the mid-nineteenth century, non-Muslims were barred from the area. Since 1967, non-Muslims have been allowed some entry, but non-Muslim prayers on the Temple Mount are not allowed.
The Dome of the Rock sits on a Temple that stood for 410 years, being built by the Israelites in 996 BCE and destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon in 586 BCE.
On August 30th 2007, what appears to be the remains of the Second Temple were discovered during the installation of pipes in the compound [2]. Then, in October 2007, archaeologists confirmed the discovery of First Temple artifacts.[3]

Fragments, in the left light a wheel, heads of two angels etc. The right-hand light contains two "M" monogram roundels, a closed door etc. The door may possibly have been held by a figure of the Virgin, in which case it would be the "porta clausa", another symbol of the Incarnation. (Porta clausa is a reference to Ezekiel 44:2: 'Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall remain shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered by it, therefore it shall remain shut.' This is taken to be a reference to Mary's perpetual virginity).

The camera is equipped with the collapsible OPLAR lens (a Tessar formula) 1:2.8 f=5cm. The focal shutter of the PF2B has timing of 1/1000, 1/500, 1/200, 1/100, 1/50 and 1/25s plus the B pose. A slow exposure device below 1/25s could be installed by the aftermarket service and was installed in series for the FOCA PF3 type.

Due to the presence the original factory seals on the shutter adjustments, I knew that the camera has never been adjusted of serviced since 1956!
Until now the 1/25s, 1/50s and 1/100s suffered from inconsistent curtains travel speeds causing band inhomogeneities in the exposure. The 1/1000, 1/500 and 1/200s were however coherent. I proceeded here as follows :
1- The shutter being on B setting, proceeding by half turns only on the adjustment screw, I increased the spring tension of the first curtain by 2 half anti-clockwise turns causing more regular and fast opening of the first curtain.
2- Then I did the same on the second curtains to get a similar speed of closure.
3- I checked visually that all speed gives homogenous opening scans from 1/25s to 1/1000 (proceed without the lens mounted).
Likely the 1/25s is still slow but I decided to see the results obtained on a test film. The exposures ae now all homogenous. Following the densities given by the Sony A7 during the digitalization, one could deduce that 1/50s gives +0,3 EV more than expected (ie 1/30s instead of 1/50s) and 1/25s gives +1.3 EV (ie 1/10s instead of 1/25s). After the test film I added 1/2 turn to the first curtains to increase the travel speed.

Set up for an 8 second exposure on an overcast day with a 9 stop ND filter. I hit my remote shutter release and during the 8 second exposure, the sun broke through a hole in the cloud cover for a second or 2 then went right back in.
The Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star is an American-built jet trainer aircraft. It made its first flight in 1948, piloted by Tony LeVier. The T-33 was developed from the Lockheed P-80/F-80 starting as TP-80C/TF-80C in development, then designated T-33A. It was used by the U.S. Navy initially as TO-2 then TV-2, and after 1962, T-33B. Despite its vintage, the venerable T-33 still remains in service worldwide.

I really liked this as an HDR just because of how dark the mood is. Niagra Falls are normally nice and happy, and I decided to make it seen in a different perspective. Hope you enjoy!
This HDR was taken using three exposures (-2,0,+2), then tone-mapped it in Photomatix Pro, added Hue/Saturation Layers in Photoshop, and then Smart Sharpened in Photoshop. I hope you guys enjoy this!

Apparently many bee's this year are nesting in bird boxes, if the bird box is close to your home it can be quite alarming. If this has happened in your garden the Bumblebee Conservation suggest that you:
1) wait until dusk or early evening when the bee's return to the bird box, then either block the hole on the bird box with maybe a sponge or tape, then carefully take down the box and relocate the bird box in a different location in your garden, 2) Then in the morning remove the sponge or tape from the hole, so that the bees leaving the nest become used to their new location.
We can do small things to encourage bees to our garden with what we plant in our flower beds.
This year we had the return in our garden of the cutter bees, as they cut small circles in leaves from one of our trees in the garden. We also put a triangle bee- house up to encourage the bees to use it.
These guys are hilarious and i swear they saw me coming!! 1 or 2, then more and more until they were actually trotting over and lining up again....

This previously belonged to Laumosooi Breeze and was MO123-2 then MO049-2. It went to Lady Lasi around 2016 then passed to Laei O Fuatino c2019. The MO069 plates originated on a Ai Ai Ava Savaii Toyota Coaster then in 2017 on a refurbished Toyota DA116 which was sold to Laei O Fuatino and then to Lady Lasi. MO049 Lady Lasi and MO069 ex Savaii swapped plates with the Lady Lasi plated as MO069 passing to Laei o Fuatino.
Day 4/365 [5/17/09]
I'm uploading this today because yesterday as I was about to upload it my computer froze. :\ I just got mad and shut it off and went to bed. But basically I had to get up at 5 am to be at work for 7 am for a meeting that was completely pointless. Then I had to work after the meeting until 2. Then went to the gym until 5 so ALL I wanted was to hear from my boyfriend and have a hot shower. Neither of which happened. Unfortunately I live in a house where warm water is very rare. And on this one day when I was totally stressed out it wouldn't let me have it. Thank you lifeee. :\
I'll upload today's later. I have to do homework, then go to work. So might be MUCH later... :\
By the way, I don't like this photo.

Grandpa's been gone for exactly 3 months now and it still hasn't gotten any easier. I feel like there's a giant hole in my heart that can never be filled.

Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano's hot
It's just a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jazz
No, I'm no one's wife
But, Oh, I love my life
And all
that
