Here's a few signs that were displayed by the estimated 0.8 million people at the rally in Washington, D.C. on March 24, 2018.
This is a handy little lathe, made by Sieg of China and sold in the USA under several brand names. Mine was purchased from Cummins Industrial Tools (hah!) as a slightly damaged display model.
Here the lathe is shown set up to face and bevel a large machine bolt, which was held in a three-jaw chuck and a steady rest.
Nine exposure HDR image.
Sorry about all the lens flare. I think it may have been caused by dust on my lens.

This is the biking and hiking trail along the Truckee River in Reno, under the Kuenzli Street and East Second Street bridges.
Shot at night, five exposures at different values, then combined into this tone-mapped HDR image.
Longest exposure was two minutes at ISO200 and f/8
Three portholes
The current owner Willie Shepherd, who is well into his eighties, originally traded two sacks of potatoes for this sweet (at the time) ride.
I bought a radio flash trigger set from Deal Extreme. Range, maximum sync speed and reliability using only the antenna trace on the transmitter's PCB was OK, but I knew it could be better. So I added the telescoping antenna shown here.
The antenna was salvaged from an old and no longer legal wideband AristoCraft R/C transmitter. The R/C radio operated on 75MHz, so the antenna is quite long. The flash trigger set operates on 433MHz, necessitating a much shorter wavelength antenna. With the telescoping feature of this antenna, tuning is a snap (or a yank?).
I quickly found that extending about two inches from the fully collapsed condition shown here gave awesome range and reliability. I was able to get 100% reliability at about 600 feet! And maximum sync speed can go as high as 1/800 sec., with marginal reliability at that speed. 100% reliable maximum sync is still at 1/400th.

Three-exposure HDR-processed image (EV0,EV-2,EV+2).
I used a single PowerGenix PGX-4AAZiNc 1.6v Nickel Zinc Rechargeable AA cell in each of two AA to C adapters, inside a vertical handle Argus C-3 flashgun. These cells are rated at 1.6V, but measure well over 1.8V when fully charged. They have very low internal resistance, and can dump more power into a strobe or flashbulb than any other AA cell. The NiZn AA cells are WAY more powerful than the Carbon C-cells that this flashgun was designed for. I don't know if this materially affects the brightness curve of the bulb "pop".
The flashbulb was blue coated, which I believe means it was designed to match the sensitivity curve of daylight-balanced color film.
Nikon D600 with a Tokina 100mm macro lens.
Camera on tripod, exposure equal on both shots:
5 seconds
f/2.8
ISO100
To fire the flashgun, I merely triggered the 5-second exposure, and used a screwdriver to short the two pins protruding from the handle of the flashgun. I was hand-holding the flashgun a few feet from the camera, casually pointing it in about the same direction as the lens. I think the flashgun's reflector has a much wider angle than most strobes.
