Cheesy (and wonky!) I know but it made me smile! And I'm behind on my pregnacy photo project, so wanted to do this one before I'm in week 25.
I've got more ideas of what I want to do in the next few weeks...so watch this space!
Just one week on Teneriffa, Spain, Canary Islands, Europe with my Fujifilm GFX 100II,GF 45-100 & GF 20-35...
These are my impressions from the island, from the forests (Eukalyptus, Lorbeer, Kanarische Kiefer) and from the mountain Teide.
This concrete pillar was built off the East Coast of St Mary’s island in 1914 as a rangefinder for coastal defence guns at Tynemouth Priory.
Back in the day they wouldve only seen this is the day time but after some wicked waftery by top led fettler Mike Ridley the St.MArys rangefinder is now visible around the clock :D
Originally i had planned on going Aurora hunting but as that would be happening at around 8 ish and i work near Seaton Deleval i arranged to meet a friend of a friend to teach him how to use his new 550D before hand instead of driving home then all the way back. Also i knew the full moon would be rising behind the lighthouse, somthing which ive tried to witness before but always been hampered by clouds :[
After messing about and generally amazing Paul with orbs and just generally showing him how to take a photo lol we were joined by Mike. As we knew by now the Aurora dream was dead for another night so we ventured over the causeway and down to the rangefinder with said friend of a friend Paul scrambling about in his 'good clothes' haha.
Its amazing to see this side of the grounds at low tide which by then was only 0.2 meters and infact quite scary looking back towards the lighthouse at how high the range is between tides, approx 5.2 Meters! I love going out with Mick, hes so helpful and it was a real treat for PAul who litterally has never even took a photo, never mind seeing the dark art of light painting haha. After this he was grinning ear to ear as we headed back to the carpark.
Thanks again Mick for the knowledge in scrambling around down here in the dark and just for your enthusiasm and advice :)
Please check out Mike's Stream, its great :)
Also speaking of tidal ranges check out Michael Martens Tidal Range Photography project... He went round some of the spots in the UK and photographed them to show our huge tidal ranges.
In the Mediterranean, the tidal range (the difference in altitude between high and low tide) is usually measured in centimetres. Around Britain, it varies from one metre on parts of the North Sea coast to 15 metres in the Bristol Channel – the third greatest range in the world. The foreshore of Britain is therefore a vast debatable land, concealed and revealed in a twice-daily tidal magic trick.
ODC-My Lucky Charm
I just got a new lens (105mm 2.8 macro lens) and took a shot of my favorite, stand by lens, my 24-70mm that I carry with me all the time attached to my D800. I took this shot with my D7100 and the new 105mm lens. I love my 24-70 and consider it "my lucky charm" because I always get great shots with it.
Undergoing restoration at Duxford Museum.
History:
The Mi-24, which has the NATO reporting name 'Hind', was developed during the mid-1960s to provide a multi-role military helicopter-of formidable capability. It appears to be evolved from, the Mil Mi-8/Mi-14 family, but a combination of reduced size and increased power gives this aircraft improved manoeuvrability and performance. While of the same basic configuration as its predecessors, and with a dynamic system based on that of the Mi-8, the Mi-24 has a more slender fuselage suitable for the gunship role, but with sufficient capability to accommodate a crew of four and a maximum of eight armed troops. The tricycle landing gear has retractable main units and a semi-retractable nose unit. Short-span cantilever shoulder wings with considerable anhedral are a distinguishing feature, and each provides mountings for a variety of weapons. Entering service in 1973-74 and deployed initially in East Germany, the Mi-24 has developed during military exercises into variants for armed assault, for anti-armour use, and for use as a helicopter escort, well able to oppose enemy helicopters in air-to-air combat. About 1,500 'Hinds', in production since the early 1970s, are currently in service with CIS forces. The type saw much action in Afghanistan, used as the proving ground for many operational improvements to the 'Hind'. The type was also used in the Iraq/Iran war of the early 1980s. The Mi-24 has been widely exported and a number are in service on most continents, with examples delivered to, or operating in, Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Bulgaria, Chad, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Hungary, India, Iraq, Libya, Mozambique, Nicaragua, North Korea, Peru, Poland, Sri Lanka, Syria, Vietnam and Yemen. Production continues at a low rate and by 1991 more than 2,300 had been built. FAI records set by the A-1O experimental variant of the 'Hind' gave some indication of the type's capabilities, as when on 2 September 1978 over a 15/25km course it achieved a speed of 368.4km/h.

Mission 24 is finally getting off the ground again. Hurray. This week's mission is "Slipped" I don't think there's really any need to explain this one. :)
Any of my contacts that see this and aren't part of the group yet, come on over. I'm helping run stuff over there now so you got an in. :)

Les parisiens et parisiennes attendent des nouvelles de se premier vrai combat de la guerre de 1418 devant les locaux du journal Le Matin.
Jaurès est lui tombé et oublié depuis une vingtaine de jour seulement.
Les deux éditions du jour du Matin sont visible sur le cite de BNF.
Moins de trois semaines après la déclaration de guerre de l'Allemagne à la France, le 3 août 1914, les deux armées passent à l'offensive. Des centaines de milliers de soldats s'alignent de la frontière suisse au Brabant belge, dans la chaleur de l'été. Du 20 au 24 août, la bataille des Frontières fait rage. La France en sort perdante. Seule la bataille de la Marne, du 6 au 11 septembre, permettra de mettre un terme à l'avancée allemande.
Une de ces journées fut particulièrement meurtrière : le 22 août 1914. Entre l'aube et la tombée de la nuit, pas moins de 27 000 soldats français sont tués, soit deux fois plus que du côté allemand. C'est le jour le plus sanglant de l'histoire de l'armée française, toutes guerres confondues.
Moins de trois semaines après le début du conflit, l'armée française se lance le 22 août dans un combat extrêmement sanglant et qui entraînera la mort de 27 000 soldats sur 400 km de front, de la Belgique à la Lorraine. Cette journée s'inscrit dans les cinq journées qui se succèdent du 20 au 25 août 1914 et au cours desquelles la France perd 40 000 soldats fauchés par la mitraille de l'artillerie ennemie.

Parisians await news of their first real fight in the war of 1418 outside the premises of the newspaper Le Matin.
Jaurès has fallen and been forgotten for only twenty days.
The two Morning Day editions are visible on the BNF website.
Less than three weeks after the declaration of war by Germany on France, on August 3, 1914, the two armies went on the offensive. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers line up from the Swiss border to Belgian Brabant in the heat of summer. From August 20 to 24, the Battle of the Borders rages. France is losing out. Only the Battle of the Marne, from September 6 to 11, will put an end to the German advance.
One of these days was particularly deadly: August 22, 1914. Between dawn and dusk, no less than 27,000 French soldiers were killed, twice as many as on the German side. It is the bloodiest day in the history of the French army, all wars combined.
Less than three weeks after the start of the conflict, the French army launched on August 22 in an extremely bloody fight which would lead to the death of 27,000 soldiers on 400 km of front, from Belgium to Lorraine. This day is part of the five days which follow one after the other from August 20 to 25, 1914 and during which France loses 40,000 soldiers mown down by the grapeshot of enemy artillery.
