This is a picture I took back in 1984 while I was living in Cusco, Peru, for one year as an exchange student. I chose not to dust the slides (oops, mistake!) so, well, they're kind of dusty!

 

This is a friend and neighbor, Gaby O.. Her school uniform is just like everybody else's school uniform. On her left hand chest is her school insignia (She was a La Salle girl, I think... she got to go to a co-ed school unlike me).

Three Cunard Queens at Southampton, 11th August 2019. Queen Victoria leads with the departure salutes. Queen Elizabeth's reply can just be heard in the background, but the wind carries the sound away. No mistaking the response from Queen Mary 2, then Queen Victoria signs off and bids farewell until the next meeting.

HDR images of Getty Villa in (close to) Malibu-CA. My feeling was that the architecture has been heavily influenced by Greeko-Roman style. This shot is looking at the western garden (hence the sunset at a distance).

HDR is done using 3 shots at EV -2,0,+2, then tones in photomatix and adjusted a little in Lightroom.

Nikon D7000, 3 sec @ f/6.3, ISO 200, 17-70mm @ 17mm

Processed with Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 for Session 1.

The Klotz silk mill (abandoned) in Lonaconing, MD is the last remaining silk mill in the US.

The only light was provided by windows so I needed a 3 second exposure at ISO 200. The original was processed in LR before I used the Low Key preset in Silver Efex Pro 2, then I tweaked the image and added some grain in LR.

I created this back in Nov. during Stamp Camp Week at 2peas... Not sure if it is eligible, since never submitted here.. so just sharing!

 

I used the versamark & clear embossing powder technique on the big and small tags! 1. First, I used Versamark with the big ornament stamps (Hero Arts CL236 Joys of the Season) then Clear Embossing Powder and the heat tool on a tag.. 2. Then applied several Ranger Distress Inks (Broken China, Shabby Shutters, Fired Brick), and also distressed the tag edges. 3. Then over stamped on the tag with the little ornament (Hero Arts CL244 Holiday Messages) in Broken China and the little snowflake (also from the Holiday Messages set) in SU Craft White... 4. I also made a little tag with a resist of the little ornament (lifted from Stamping Matilda!).

 

Other supplies: Ribbons and Hemp; Tim Holtz Plain Grungeboard 'JOY' letters; Distress Stickles (Broken China) and Black Soot Distress Ink on the Grungeboard edges... Cardstock SU... Thanks!

travelling the coastal roads in the western cape is always something special - if not on 2, then you should do it on 4 !

First photo Jan. 19, next: April 2, then: 12th and finally today.

But WAIT !! Press button BEFORE inserting ticket!!

 

I'm reading from left to right, so I insert my ticket THEN I push the pre-pay button.

 

Because the big red letters are urging me to press the PRE PAY BUTTON, I don't even notice the 'before' part of the instruction.....

The math formula for mystic rose is

n(n-n)/2. Amazing the things you come across on the internet! Here's what it says about how to draw a mystic rose--something I definitely won't be doing!

 

"To draw a mystic rose you will need accuracy and patience:

  

Draw a circle, any size.

Divide it into equal parts around the circumference. (Use a protractor to measure the degrees.) Mark the divisions with dots. It is helpful to number all dots from 1 onwards.

Join each dot to every other dot with straight lines. For example, join dot 1 to dot 2, then dot 1 to dot 3 and so on..." from Count On - Kaleidoscope

 

Visited my friend, Phyllis, and this was parked in one of the yards down the street... I wonder what it looked like with the Christmas lights on... Had to stop and get a shot.. Processed in Photomatix using the preset Autumn Optimizer Natural 2.. Then added a bit of Oil Paint...

The Kaikōura 3 day trial was held at King’s Birthday weekend and attracted 61 solo riders and 7 sidechairs from across New Zealand. This was the 80th year that this trial has been run since it began in 1946.

As usual we rode at three properties over the weekend starting with Trewin’s Farm at Birches Rd, Oaro on Day 1, a return to Rakanuiat Peketā on Day 2, and finished at Schroder’s Farm under Mt Fyffe on Day 3. Many thanks to the property owners and those who went up the week before and set the sections.

The weather was kind again this year with no rain or frosts (That is 2 years in a row!) This meant the properties were as dry as we have seen them. The sections on the first two days were fairly straightforward, however on Day 3 the sections were more difficult, especially for Green and Yellow, so getting a good result meant being at your best on Day 3. The three best things about the weekend were:

1.The great support from families with 11 families having two generations of riders taking part.

2.The top two riders in Red (T2) both being Junior riders. Zack Furniss took out Day 1 overall, Finn Pearce won Day 2, so both were tied at the end of Day 2, then Zack managed to win Day 3 becoming the youngest Expert and Overall Winner of Kaikoura at age 12. Congratulations to both these young riders who showed great skills.

3.The sidechairs which always provide some entertainment. It’s great to watch, though seems a way to make covering offroad terrain more difficult.

 

Thanks to everyone who supported the event, especially those who travelled from the North Island or the Deep South. It is great to have you join us for the weekend.

Next year will be the 80th Anniversary of the first event held in 1946. We hope you can join Pioneer next year to celebrate this milestone.

Special thanks to Lynette for the photos, despite still recovering from a knee injury that still limits her mobility.

I spent my Halloween night having a test in calc 2, then having to study for physics right after the test. I went to the library and was in there for 1am so talk about a fun Halloween. That's why I got it out of my system the past weekend in Tally and went to Halloween parties there.

All scrubbed clean and ready for the new pair to move in. It will be interesting to see if they actually do begin nestbuilding today.

 

I hope to take down the Peterson nestbox and replace it with the old Nestbox #1, so I guess it will be Nestbox #2.

 

Then, whenever my husband gets the time to build another nestbox of that style, and make another predator guard, we can put that nestbox out in the front field. I thought I'd call it Nestbox #3...

 

If there's anybody out there who is thinking about providing nestboxes of their own, this is a great resource:

 

birds.cornell.edu/birdhouse/bhbasics/nestboxplans.htm

 

There are building plans for various nestboxes and predator guards, and information about placement and links to lots more info.

-cooked fettuccine

-grill thin strips of bacon, green onion

 

mix:

-4 egg yolk

-1/2cup cream

1/2 parmesan

-salt and pepper

-parsley

 

1. toss the fettucini into the mix

*make sure the fettucini is HOT so that cooks the egg yolk to cream it up.

2.then toss the bacon and green onion.

If it's red plate number 2 then it's Chuck Sun.

 

Justyn has lost none of his touch for the dramatic action shot.

first 1, then 2, then 3 and 4 who wanted me to take their picture, and then show them on the back of my camera.

 

this happened regularly.

This bird has been my Flickr profile pic for some time now. I finally figured I'd give it some PS love. Original problems with this photo - the bird is practically black. Focus was just forward of the bird and on the grass just in front of him. The bird is in focus, but is slightly lacking detail.

 

I used levels and a complex curve to bring a slight amount more detail from the bird without washing everything else out. Reduced the color noise, USM - 0.7/2 - then median noise reduction took the fake look of the USM out.

 

Not too shabby. I'm no expert, and of course its best to take the photo properly to begin with:

 

1. Should have used center weighted metering vs. Pattern. (center weighting first exposes for the center circle, then averages for the background - in Pattern it exposes for the entire scene as a whole - this is why there is little detail in the bird. In reality I should see more highlights and a glossy sheen on his coat as the sun is to the right and slightly behind me. )

 

2. While the camera that took this doesn't support it - I should use a custom WB by taking a photo of a white or 18% gray card. In the Z812IS thats not an option, but Auto white balance should not have been used. I had "Daylight" which would have given more color out of the grass and background.

 

3. Get closer to the subject. I was so shocked that this bird looked so stunning and didn't fly off when I parked and shut off the car that I was petrified that he would fly off. So I used the longest focal length. In reality he was a good 50 feet off and probably wouldn't have moved if I halved that distance, and my photo would have been much sharper

Canon EOS 500D on a tripod. 3 exposures (-2, 0,+2). Then Photomatix, import into Lightroom, correcting colours and distortion.

 

More of my real estate photos, would love some feedback.

Claudio Corti, Josh Herrin and Danny Eslick had the battle of the weekend for second place in MA supersport. In this shot Eslick (69) passes both Corti and Herrin in T15 at COTA. They finished Corti (71), Herrin (2), then Eslick (69).

Differential equation is a type of equation which contains derivatives in it. The derivative may de partial deerivative or a ordinary derivative.The eqution may contain derivative of any order.It the equation contain [dy/dx] then it is a differential equation of first order or first order differential equation,if the equation contain [(d^2y)/(dx^2)] then it is second order differential equation and so on for higher order differential equations.

Spotted Redshanks are not particularly common visitors to my part of Scotland in Spring, so it has been unusual to see them at Riverside Nature Park in Dundee recently (a single bird, then 2, then 1 again). Here's a selection of photos of them.

The clubhouse, reopened recently after a major internal refurbishment, at The Belfields, home to Woodhouses Cricket Club. Captured during a seven-wicket win for the Greater Manchester League team over Lancashire League Burnley in the first round of the Lancashire Knockout Cup. Opting to bat, Burnley slumped to 34-6. A stand of 51 for the seventh wicket repaired some of the damage but Woodhouses, despite being 0-2, then eased to their target for the loss of three wickets.

 

Match statistics:

 

Woodhouses (Greater Manchester League, Premier Division) versus Burnley (Lancashire League, Division One)

 

Lancashire Knockout Cup, Round One (45 over match, 1pm start)

 

Admission: free. Programme: none. Attendance: 60. Burnley won the toss and elected to bat. Burnley 109 off 31 overs (Alex Spender 4-16) lost by seven wickets to Woodhouses 111-3 off 20 overs (Nick Hardman 49 not out).

"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.

France

 

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.

HDR images of Getty Villa in (close to) Malibu-CA. my feeling was that the architecture has been heavily influenced by Greeko-Roman style. This shot is from the main hallway looking toward the inner garden.

HDR is done using 3 shots at EV -2,0,+2, then toned in photomatix and adjusted a little in Lightroom.

A new attempt to use "flash-popping" throughout the scene. In this image it's obvious where the flash was "popped" I like the effect and have been using it here and there but more often lately. The trouble I always have are the outside windows. They are always too light for my taste - clients all like them but I want to have more control and make them darker when I choose. Any ideas?

 

This is an HDR image created from 4 shots +1 0 -1 -2. Then blended with the flash popped files. It's basically a similar process to what Alan uses.

From Michael Ferner - oldracingcars.info ’2703’the 1927 de Paolo/de Paolo yellow & black #3 car Allegedly Chassis Nr. 7 (or 8?) – Pete de Paolo got off to a bad start with his new car, but after two retirements and quite a few modifications he won enough to be crowned National Champion for a second time, the first driver to live to see this feat accomplished, and the first driver to win the title (mostly) on a front-drive machine. Sadly, he was rather badly injured in a practice crash at the Brickyard the following year (yellow & black #1), and the car was subsequently driven by Wilbur Shaw, Bob McDonogh and Cliff Woodbury (blue & white #5 in ‘29). It changed ownership from de Paolo to a man named Dodds, thence to Harry Hartz who planned to make his racing comeback with the sister car to the one he had crashed in, but ran out of time before the formula change. Undeterred, he rebuilt the car into the Miller-Hartz ‘Mk I’, the fastest two-man car for the first three years of the “junk formula” (grey & blue #4, #1 and #5, respectively), with Billy Arnold driving. Fred Frame purchased the car in 1933, and put Pete Kreis into it (blue #2), then drove it himself the following year (#34), and gave it to Chet Miller in ‘35 (blue #34). Miller continued to drive the car for its new owner Mike Boyle 1936-39 (white & red #18, silver & red #7, and maroon #3 for the final two years with Offy power), crashing badly in its last appearance. According to a 1948 interview with the car’s chief mechanic at the time, it was subsequently scrapped. In 2003, a “restoration” of the de Paolo car appeared in Historic Racing Car circles, but it is extremely doubtful it contains any original parts.

Then it was sacked by the armies of Malik Kafur in the early 14th century, after which it fell into a state of disrepair and neglect.[2]

The Kaikōura 3 day trial was held at King’s Birthday weekend and attracted 61 solo riders and 7 sidechairs from across New Zealand. This was the 80th year that this trial has been run since it began in 1946.

As usual we rode at three properties over the weekend starting with Trewin’s Farm at Birches Rd, Oaro on Day 1, a return to Rakanuiat Peketā on Day 2, and finished at Schroder’s Farm under Mt Fyffe on Day 3. Many thanks to the property owners and those who went up the week before and set the sections.

The weather was kind again this year with no rain or frosts (That is 2 years in a row!) This meant the properties were as dry as we have seen them. The sections on the first two days were fairly straightforward, however on Day 3 the sections were more difficult, especially for Green and Yellow, so getting a good result meant being at your best on Day 3. The three best things about the weekend were:

1.The great support from families with 11 families having two generations of riders taking part.

2.The top two riders in Red (T2) both being Junior riders. Zack Furniss took out Day 1 overall, Finn Pearce won Day 2, so both were tied at the end of Day 2, then Zack managed to win Day 3 becoming the youngest Expert and Overall Winner of Kaikoura at age 12. Congratulations to both these young riders who showed great skills.

3.The sidechairs which always provide some entertainment. It’s great to watch, though seems a way to make covering offroad terrain more difficult.

 

Thanks to everyone who supported the event, especially those who travelled from the North Island or the Deep South. It is great to have you join us for the weekend.

Next year will be the 80th Anniversary of the first event held in 1946. We hope you can join Pioneer next year to celebrate this milestone.

Special thanks to Lynette for the photos, despite still recovering from a knee injury that still limits her mobility.

John August Antonelli (b: April 12, 1930) is a former left-handed starting pitcher who played for the Boston and Milwaukee Braves, New York and San Francisco Giants, and Cleveland Indians.

 

He was dealt to the Giants along with several other players for Bobby Thomson. In the 1954 season, Antonelli went 21–7, led the league in ERA (2.30), was selected an All-Star, and led the Giants to a pennant, facing the Cleveland Indians in the World Series. Antonelli started and won Game 2, then came into Game 4 as a reliever to shut down an Indian rally, as the Giants pulled off a sweep. Antonelli pitched well for several more years, making four straight All-Star teams from 1956 to 1959, before his retirement in 1962 after having been acquired by the New York Mets.

The 1.4 can focus on the smallest detail. PERFECT. Next up, the FD 50mm 1.2.... then after I hit the lottery, I want the 50mm .95!

At the PisaMover Airport station after leaving Pisa Airport. I was aware of this before we flew to Pisa, so wanted to try and get some photos on the way to get the coach.

 

Bit awkward with my suitcase!

 

With suitcases we had to go up from level 0 to 2. Then later down from 2 to 0!
