Bristol police while blocking the entrance to members of the media as Bristol Eastern High School students walked out of school Wednesday to mark the one month anniversary of the Parkland school shooting. Students planned to stay outside for 17 minutes, one minute for each victim, they also want more gun control.
Photographed in Big Valley, California.
I captured these images when the dragonflies landed on the tops of some pieces of steel rebar that stick way up from a partially demolished hot tub.
These were shot in full daylight. I darkened the background by stopping down to F/16 or so at 1/500th, and used an on-camera TTL hotshoe flash to light the subject.
I got as close to the subjects as I could. The lens was a cheap 70-300mm zoom. It's closest focusing distance is quite far, so these images were heavily cropped from a six megapixel RAW, despite being shot at 450mm equivalent focal length.
This was my first time shooting fire dancers/spinners at night. Some post processing was required to get the results seen here.
I used my Nikon D600 with a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 "APO" macro lens with internal focus motor ($100 used on eBay).
I have a bunch of other shots of the firedancers in this set- check 'em out if'n ya like this sort of thang.
I just upgraded my PC with a used $25 quad-output video card (HP-branded Nvidia Quadro 440).
The LCD monitors cost perhaps $60-$80 total at thrift stores and yard sales. Two 19" and two 20"
I am looking for another video card with dual outputs, so as to be able to run up to six monitors.
The bright line at the lower right of the image is an LED strip light, under test at 15V, rather than the specified 12V. Total current draw is 1.1 Amps at 15V
The strip has 31 three-LED segments, totalling 93 LED emitters. Emitter type is 3528, each rated at 50mA max. At 15V, per-emitter current is 36mA.
