A man open carries a 1911 handgun while listening to Connecticut Citizens Defense League President Scott Wilson during a CCDL gun rights rally at the Connecticut state capitol in Hartford, Saturday April 5, 2014, speaks out against the state's gun control law passed one year ago on April 4, 2013 restricting magazines to 10 rounds and prohibiting the sale of certain semi-automatic firearms, including the AR-15.

This guy is making a statement, solar yellow isn't that bad of a color. I bumped into this Jeep at CCSU in New Britain on Wednesday.
Nikon D600 on Bogen/Manfrotto carbon fiber tripod.
Rokinon/Samyang 8mm f/3.5mm fisheye lens, "shaved" for maximum field on the D600's full-frame sensor.
Built-in interval timer (I messed up the difficult time settings, thus the gaps in the trails, which I've now convinced myself are nice ;-) )
Exposures:
259 exposures of 30 seconds each
Unintentional time gaps between each set of 9 exposures
f/3.5
ISO1600
The exposures were all "stitched" with StarStaX by Marcus Enzweiler, a wonderful free program (give him a little money if you can):

I then post-processed in Nikon ViewNX 2, a free and decent program for basic image enhancement.
My first thought, when I saw this sign nailed to a fence adjacent to a well traveled walking path, was how foolish it is to advertise you have guns in your home; it potentially makes this home a target for anyone of a larcenous nature who may feel in need of a gun. Most break-ins occur when no one is home, and the advertised gun then provides no security at all; just temptation.
Anyway, happy Fenced Friday.
Rusty 1955 Steelcraft school bus, built with a Carpenter body model D on what I believe is a 1954 GMC chassis. Date of delivery 11/54.
This 7-window (28 adult passengers or 42 wee ones).
The transmission is a four-speed manual. Brakes are power assisted drums, but steering is manual (unassisted).
The inline six-cylinder gasoline (petrol) engine develops all of a wimpy 115 horsepower (86 kilowatts).
Displacement is 270 cubic inch (4.4 liter).
GVWR is 14,500 pounds (6,577 Kilograms).
Driving it over the mountains will be a chore, to be sure (I think I can!, I think I can!).
A previous owner converted it into a motorhome / RV, complete with propane cylinders, refrigerator, sink, toilet, etc.
It is for sale, at the right price. We'll just have to see how attached to it we've become, depending on offers.
Or, we may get it running some day and drive it 170 miles over the hill to Burning Man, where it will be well suited as a camper / party bus.
The rocket hood ornament is a rare factory option.

The photos in this album are of the property, possessions and projects of a fine older gentleman named Willie Shepherd.
He owns a LARGE property in Lookout, California. It is full of old tractors, cars, trucks, bulldozers and vehicles of varied and sundry description. My girlfriend Zoe bought a 1955 Carpenter (1954 GMC based) school bus from him, and he towed it the 17 miles to our Ranch with his old tractor on public roads:

Photos of the bus can be seen in another set of mine:

Willie also renovates and runs old steam engines. For years Willie has been showing and demonstrating his equipment for anyone interested.
Many of the images in this set were 3-exp HDRs, processed with Photomatix. The camera was a Nikon D600.
The pro-NRA group at the March for Our Lives in LA was tiny but vocal. Here's one of their proud representatives.

On 12 July 2020, one day before Governor Whitmer's Executive Order making mask-wearing compulsory goes into effect, a group hosted a rally on the grounds of the State Capitol in Lansing, MI.
The small group, comprised of about 50 white people of all ages waited for the organizers' remarks to begin, but no one present claimed to be in charge. Shortly after, a man in a leather vest began with a prayer and spoke for about 30 minutes.
COVID-19 cases have spiked in Michigan, with new cases surpassing 600 daily for the first time since March.
Right now, in this country, the gun debate seems to be only on one side. If the other side WAS listening, they would hear that very, very, very few people are coming after All the guns. And they will never get them all. So, maybe listen... just a little. It won't hurt. I promise.
Taken at the October 24th, 2012 campaign event of Governor Mitt Romney at Reno, Nevada.
It was very challenging to get decent shots of the event. A dark arena, long distance to subject requiring a long (shaky) slow lens and then a heavy crop, plus crazy mixed white balance lighting conspired to keep me on my toes.
It was amusing to watch the iPhone/Android crowd attempt to grab pics and video of their guy. Most of their shots were VERY blurry and had disturbing colors, like an impressionist painting of a bad LSD trip (oh, wait, I just remembered where we were...)

A 770-millisecond exposure of the April 14th, 2014 lunar eclipse, as seen from Big Valley, California, just a few feet from our hot well-fed outdoor tubs.
The bright star to the right is Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo, and the 15th brightest star in the night sky. It is a blue giant and a variable star of the Beta Cephei type located 260 light years from Earth. Apparent magnitude is +1.04
As you can see on the Moon, there are plenty of jpg artifacts. They are not seen in the original .NEF ("RAW") image.
I have some HDR sets of various stages of the eclipse, but have not yet been able to align and stack them properly with the software I have.
I used a very cheap 650-1300mm "telephoto" lens on my Nikon D600. The very heavy rig was mounted on a too-light carbon fiber tripod, run all the way up so I could see the viewfinder and LCD while keeping my 6'6" frame from creaking under a back-bending load.
I had to keep the tripod out on the lawn, further wiggling things up, due to the risk of one of my slightly tipsy naked companions tripping on the obstruction in the dark, should I have left it on the concrete slab with the tubs.
Next time, I hope to have my massive concrete foundation and pier completed, which should be steady as a rock, relatively speaking.
of abject terror, when you realize, after it is too late, that you have lost your identity. you are nobody, you are a cog in the wheel of a transformed national consciousness. your society has not betrayed you, you have betrayed yourself. when courage meant something, now only a bread line has meaning to you.
