This is the first wheel being clamped together. You can see on the right side how off the multiple layers are from each other. I ended up cleaning the edges of the wheels up before assembly which in retrospect was really useful because I left the edges of the main pully and the parts where the different layers weren't aligned caused issues when I was turning it when the chisel hit the edge and caught.

There are some large sunspot groups moving across the surface of the sun in the current cycle, and with today's cloudless sky I thought it would be a good opportunity to showcase them. Moving from left to right, the major groups in this photo are Sunspot Group 1903, 1899, 1896, 1893, and 1902. This photo was taken with a 200mm f/2.8L with a 2x teleconverter at f/18, ISO 100, 1/50th second, and an exposure compensation of -2 1/3 stops.
Post processing started with a detail medium filter in Topaz Adjust. I then adjusted adaptive exposure, contrast, protect highlights, detail, and detail boost. A levels adjustment and a deep yellow photo filter were added in PSE.
Jumping horse. This shot won't sell without major post-processing! No one wants another horse in their shot! Once the games begin, each hunter/jumper class is in the ring solo
Service Learning Project - Oral History
Students at Xavier School of Excellence in South Bend, Indiana prepare for their service learning project, visiting the Cardinal Nursing Home where they will be sharing gifts with the residents and interviewing the residents to learn about their life and times gone by. The students are practicing interviewing skills and using Nokia phones as recording devices loaned by the New Learning Institute’s Model Classroom program.
Brian Burnett led podcasting and interviewing preparation activities with students and Justin Zobrosky, the lead teacher on this service learning project.
This project is supporting the Model Classroom’s Teacher of the Year Tania Grimes (Director at Xavier School of Excellence in South Bend, Indiana), where she designed a mission based learning project supported by digital media and tools.
