Being a Treatise Addressing the Successful Photographic Capture of Airborne Raptors from a Vehicle

OK, so here's what happened. I was driving slowly up Cañada Larga Road just North of Ventura. I stopped and took some shots from my sunroof of a kettle of Turkey Vultures and Common Ravens; they were backlit by the sunny sky so I had my ev comp cranked up over a full stop. I put my camera down on the passenger seat, not following my usual practice of resetting the ev to zero, and drove further up the canyon. I rounded a curve about a mile past the gate and saw this young hawk perched on a tree on the right hand side of the road. He was obviously in flush mode and about to take flight.

It all happened in seconds -- with practiced precision I yanked the wheel to the right, threw the car into park and switched off the ignition, giving myself a shooting angle through my open window. I summoned all the poise born of years of BIF photography and reached for my camera. In one smooth motion I lifted it toward the window, and the Black Rapid strap caught on the parking brake handle. I remained calm and unfazed. Never taking my eyes from my target I easily flipped the strap off of the brake handle. With my thumb on the exposure dial I saw the hawk lift off from his perch. Still I retained my poise, but I knew that I had to move more quickly now. As I raised the camera it was nearly jerked from my hand. The strap was now looped over my gear shift knob. I was still undeterred, but I knew I had no time to again free the strap, but I could not bring the camera to my eye! Instead, in the style of Rosemary Woods I gracefully twisted in my seat and leaned back, bringing my eye behind the camera. Now I was nearly lying on my back. The corner of the center console dug into my ribs and the BR strap, still wrapped around the shift lever, tore at the skin on my neck. My right foot was trapped and twisted beneath the brake pedal. I ignored the pain and clicked off a couple shots toward the now departing raptor. I struggled back to an upright position and instinctively did my best "I meant to do that" face in case I had been observed. I did a quick scan of the area and was relieved to see that I was alone.

When I reviewed the shots I realized that I hadn't re-adjusted the exposure. The photos were blown-out bright - you can see the original below. "Oh well" I thought, "just another red-tail."

That was five weeks ago, and I didn't look at the shots since then until tonight. I liked the position of the hawk and the focus was sharp so I fiddled around with it, thinking maybe hi-key or something. For those who care about such things, the photo was shot in JPG and "recovered" using Paint Shop Pro X with baby-steps and lots of layers. I was surprised by these results, and now I have another raptor-shooting strategy added to my arsenal.

The techniques described above are potentially harmful and are recommended for use only by experienced photographers. Others should not attempt to utilize these methods without supervision by a responsible adult.

Thanks for taking the time to read this waste of time :-)

🎩A gentleman with a pipe🎩: - Have you heard what the papers are saying? The Titanic that everyone had such high hopes for has sunk. The whole thing went under when it collided with a block of ice. I was going to buy us tickets to the Titanic, it's like God took me away.

=

👥Lady in Black👥: - God had nothing to do with it. I told you from the beginning that a huge object like that was dangerous. Imagine how many noble families have been affected? I wonder what will happen in the world now that most of the corporations are without their owners?

=

🎩A gentleman with a pipe🎩: - I heard even before the Titanic was built and all the noble families headed for the voyage on it, a lot of the shares in their companies were bought up by the Rockefellers and the like.

=

👥Lady in Black👥: - I think it was a set-up too, but let's not talk about it in the train restaurant in front of everyone. Honey, what are you standing there for? There's a seat, sit down, have a nice cake and tea with us. We've got a long way to go.

=

🎩A gentleman with a pipe🎩: - One can only hope that the new train we're travelling on doesn't suddenly collide with some moose on the way too and we don't die, haha.

=

👥Lady in Black👥: - Oh my God, stop making jokes like that! Bone jokes don't make me happy.

=

😿Girl without a cat😿: - I don't want to sit with you all! I wanted to be with my cat... I have a grudge against you all!

=

🙋Snow Elf🙋: - So, what, a lot of the food and technology famous industries will now go to the Rockefellers?

=

🎩A gentleman with a pipe🎩: - It appears so. Now they will decide which nations will have the right to a cup of coffee and which ones will drink just dung. I feel we're not going to an industrialised world, but a world of slavery and Satanism.

👥Lady in Black👥: - I'm asking you all to stop this conversation! Let's talk about something light and positive.

=

😿Girl without a cat😿: - What's positive without that ginger lump?

*Everyone switched to everyday conversations occasionally drinking hot tea and eating a tasty cake, and only the red-haired girl looked out of the train window into the distance, remembering the warmth and softness of the sleepy cat.*

Church and triumphal arch of the cemetery (cad. AB 33): classification by decree of November 12, 1914

History

The triumphal arch with triple arcade, which gives access to the cemetery, dates from 1659. The church, from 1575, has a bell tower of the type of slender bell towers with a single chamber for the bells and whose walls are crowned by gables between which rises an arrow decorated with hooks.

Periods of construction:

16th century, 3rd quarter 17th century

property of the municipality

Built in 1575 , the church was restored in 1617 , then enlarged in 1674 . The side walls were completely redone in 1784 . The bell tower, with its Gothic spire and rectangular base, dates from 1585 . The apse of the building was rebuilt in 1641 . The porch, meanwhile, was redone in 1839 .

The pinnacle which surmounts the west gable under the gallery is dated 1582 on the lintel. On the south facade, at the base of the bell tower, we read the following inscriptions: "B. Merour: Breton Year 1585".

The incumbents of the church are the apostles Peter and Paul . Saint Clément is the main patron of the place and Saint Geneviève , the secondary patroness at least since 1634 .

The church of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul and the cemetery's triumphal arch have been classified as historical monuments since November 12 , 1914

Description

Exterior

Place de l'Eglise, to the right of the triumphal arch, in front of the entrance to the courtyard of the old presbytery , is a monumental granite statue of King Gradlon made by Patrig Ar Goarnig , measuring 3 m long and weighing three tons. This equestrian statue tells the two versions (the Christian on the right side and the pagan on the left side) of the legend of the city of Ys .

It seems the 5 Tuckers found in the warehouse is only part of an ongoing intrigue. Along with a number of other photos and documents found on the premises, these two transparencies came to light and caused a sensation in Elgin Park.

The entrepreneur, who back in 1950 clearly invested time, money and creative talent trying to produce a Tucker related vehicle, still remains unknown.

Aside from the What, Where, How and Why of it all is the burning question:

Do these two prototypes still exist?

Oh, the possibilities!

On a different note, the creation of these two front end designs were achieved by digging through my parts box plus a little bit of modeling.

The "prow front" was cobbled together by forming an arch out of thin styrene, fitted with a rounded vertical strip of plastic in the front, then placed over the center headlight.

The "bullet nose" style was created with a brass grommet and a hemisphere of styrene.

As for the egg crate grille, it was taken from a broken Cadillac diecast and trimmed to the appropriate shape.

The fender skirt is a piece of styrene fitted into the wheel opening and painted the body color.

A few other changes include;

- Removing the rectangular turn signals and substituting round, milk glass fixtures close to the headlights.

-Adding a short chrome bumper-ette above the grille on the Prow Nose prototype

and a long chrome bumper-ette that connects the two round turn signals on the Bullet Nose prototype.

-On both of the models, half bumpers were installed onto the main bumper unit for a more massive look.

-A chrome trim spear along the front fender and a chrome trim piece below the doors to create a longer, lower appearance.

-The air intake vent, on the rear fender of the bullet nose, was painted the body color to create a smoother appearance.

It was a very interesting project for me because the Tucker is such an iconic vehicle.

I wanted the alterations to be sensitive to the original Tucker/ Tremulis design, yet address the changing style that was starting to emerge in the industry at the time.

This is becoming a more frequent scene here in the Twin Cities-poor and marginalized persons traveling with all of their belongings, hopefully, to permanent housing and a new start. The Twin Cities and Minnesota proper rank high in income disparity nationwide. This is especially poignant since nationwide, Minnesota and the Twin Cities rank high in great places to live, education, culture, raise children, health facilities, and per capita income. But the social ills that remained ignored for so long are beginning to bubble to the top. And the city and state leaders choose to remain impotent, uninformed, and clueless of how to address the tension and dangers of a changing urban environment.

SCOTCH CREEK, British Columbia - located on the north shore of Shuswap Lake opposite Sorrento. It was named after Scottish prospectors who worker this creek for gold in the 1860's. There is still a bit of placer mining done near the creek. Scotch Creek began to significantly grow when the provincial park opened in 1958, welcoming a sudden influx of campers. To take advantage of the summer visitors, Frank and Akiko Imai built the Park Store across the street. LINK - shuswappassion.ca/communities/scotch-creek-was-once-part-...

「弘前城」指的為天守閣以及弘前公園的部分。為西元1603年津輕為信完成津輕地區的統一後開始計畫建造，由第二代繼承人津輕信枚於西元1610年進行築城，並於隔年西元1611年完成。當中的五層建築─天守閣於西元1627年遭雷擊燒毀，現今的天守閣為西元1810年時重建的三層建築，目前作為展示津輕籓政時代的歷史文物的「弘前城史料館」。

城內現存的三座塔台及五道城，皆被登錄為日本的重要文化財。此外由於整體狀態維持良好，在昭和27年(西元1952年)弘前城被登錄為日本的國家指定歷史遺跡。

現存的弘前城天守閣雖然是重建物，但卻是日本東北地區僅存江戶時代所建造的天守閣，至今仍是廣為人知的弘前市象徵性建築。

此外，公園內種植著2600棵櫻花樹，為日本國內著名的賞櫻勝地，每年春天都能吸引超過200萬以上的遊客前來。

Strong people of our indomitable country!

Eight years of war against us. The 20th day of full-scale invasion. Attempts to destroy us all, to destroy Ukraine. We are fighting for our lives. We are fighting for our lives against missiles, bombs, artillery, tanks, mortars and everything else that Russian troops are using to destroy us. Everything else that Russia is destroying itself with now.

Because every shot at Ukraine, every blow at Ukraine are steps towards Russia's self-destruction. Steps to self-isolation, poverty and degradation.

Everyone who just wants to live and has something to think with is leaving Russia. Scientists, artists, businessmen, IT specialists, etc. The Russian state has not experienced such a blow at human capital for decades. A blow, which it inflicted on itself. We do not care. This is not our problem.

Our problem is to save our people. The strength of our society. Its scientists, its artists, its businessmen, its people, its strong people. All our Ukrainians who defend the state and bring closer the peace that every Ukrainian needs.

Last night there were air alarms almost all over our country. The airport in Dnipro was destroyed by a missile strike. Kharkiv. Russian bombs hit residential areas. Artillery. Mortars. Fighting continues in the region - Izyum, Chuhuiv.

Disassembly of wreckage in Rivne after the missile strike on the TV tower is ongoing. As of now, 19 casualties are confirmed.

Ancient Chernihiv and Oster are under such a brutal attack by Russia that it has wiped out any claims to its cultural ties to the times of Rus’. The invaders have no roots, no memory and no soul.

Russian troops attacked Kyiv, attacked Kyiv residents. Four apartment buildings were destroyed. Disassembly of the debris is still ongoing. As of now, five casualties are confirmed.

I will tell you in Russian: this happened in our capital. In the city that you always called “the mother of Russian cities”. That made our nations historical. And that you bombed today. Just people, residential areas. Bombed and bombed again. We don't need such children. No, thanks.

The invaders continue to consider the capture of our capital as their key goal, their political goal. They hope that control over Kyiv will give them control over Ukraine. This is absolute absurdity from all points of view.

To further strengthen the defense of the capital and the Kyiv region, I appointed Hero of Ukraine, Lieutenant General and Commander of the Joint Forces Operation Oleksandr Pavliuk head of the regional military administration.

Dismissed head of the regional administration Oleksiy Kuleba will help the military leadership.

Therefore, the Kyiv direction and the situation in the region will get even more attention.

Major General Eduard Moskaliov became the new commander of the Joint Forces. Professional man, patriotic man. The decree is signed.

Every morning, every evening, I thank the military. I thank all our heroes who bravely defend our state. All who stop the enemy despite the fact that the invaders are many times more. Dozens of times.

And now, today, I want to speak about all peaceful Ukrainians who were taken away by this war.

Eternal memory to everyone who died for Ukraine! Eternal curse to the enemy who took thousands of lives.

Humanitarian corridors have been partially opened today. There is a corridor from Sumy, Trostyanets, Lebedyn, Shostka and Konotop in the direction of Poltava.

The invaders did not stop the shelling and disrupted humanitarian corridors in the Kyiv region.

The convoy with humanitarian cargo for Mariupol also remains blocked. For several days in a row. But still little by little people are leaving the besieged city by private transport.

I want to thank SES officers, police, doctors and everyone else who saves people for this important work. And of course, I am thankful to our military.

Today I spoke at the summit organized by Great Britain, a friend of Ukraine - Boris Johnson. I addressed the United Kingdom Joint Expeditionary Force. Spoke to the leaders of the Baltic states and the countries of northern Europe.

I said what, of course, all our citizens would like to say.

About NATO. About help. About sincerity and... the fact that not everyone took a moral stance in response to the Russian war.

Each of more than 800 Russian missiles that have hit our country is an answer to a long-standing question about NATO. Whether the doors of the Alliance are really open for Ukraine.

If they were open, if it was fair, we would not have to convince the Alliance for 20 days that the sky over Ukraine should be closed. Closed to the death brought by the Russian Air Force. But... They don't hear or don't want to hear us yet. Some Allies have intimidated themselves. Saying that they allegedly can't answer. They cannot collide with Russian missiles and planes in the sky of Ukraine. Because this, they say, will lead to escalation, will lead to World War III...

And what will they say if Russia goes further into Europe, attacking other countries?

I'm sure it's the same thing they say to Ukraine. Article 5 of the NATO treaty has never been as weak as it is now. This is just our opinion.

When some members of the Alliance are afraid to be truly an alliance capable of protecting everything for which it was created. Freedom and democracy. Humanity and justice. We need to look for effective guarantees. Guarantees for us, for our sky. And we will not give up. We need planes. And I will continue to talk about it, I will continue to pursue it.

We need long-term security guarantees for the state. For all Ukrainians.

Concrete things. Concrete guarantees. Legally enshrined. So that there is no doubt in them. And so that no excuses sound. As they sound now, when we turn to those who signed "Budapest" and who... had the power to stop the Russian invasion even before it began. Using preventive measures. By helping Ukraine, which is convincing. Using sanctions that do not allow war.

Ukrainians!

There are more than 40 million of us in our state. And millions more around the world. This is a great force. Plus our friends. Plus many of our partner countries. We all now have a common task, a national task. We must put pressure on Russia so that the price for this war against Ukraine becomes extremely painful. So that everyone in the world takes a moral stance. Not only states, but also companies. I'm talking about business.

Large corporations that still sponsor Russia's military machine and have not left the Russian market, although they should have done so immediately. As soon as the world saw what Russian troops were doing on our Ukrainian land.

You know these brands. They are well known. And there are no secrets here.

Nestle, Mondelēz and other giants of the food industry. As well as Raiffeisen, Societe Generale and other banks. BASF, Samsung and LG. Bayer, Sanofi and other pharma companies.

Unilever, Johnson & Johnson... And dozens of other companies. And that's billions of dollars.

We turn to the world. To states and to people. But this is not just the work of politicians.

I appeal to Ukrainians. To everyone and in any country. Where you can influence it. Everything is in your power. All business with Russia must be stopped. All trade operations.

So that they can't sponsor the killings. Killings of us and our children. So that dollars and euros are not paid for blood. Please contact politicians. Put pressure. Talk to reporters. Boycott their products.

They must feel our strength! They must feel your strength!

Because we have the strength.

Glory to Ukraine!

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Robin

Robins are one of the only UK birds to be heard singing in the garden on Christmas day. This is because they hold their territories all year round, warning off intruders with song. Males may hold the same territory throughout their lives, and will even attack a bundle of red feathers or their own reflection if they mistake it for another individual.

Their melodious voices, along with their cheeky attitudes, have endeared robin red breasts to the British public, and in 1960 they were crowned the UK's national bird.

Marpole is one of Vancouver's oldest communities. The Great Marpole Midden, an ancient Musqueam village and burial site, one of North America's largest village sites and "one of the largest pre-contact middens on the Pacific coast of Canada", has been a National Historic Site since 1933. Marpole was once known as Eburne Townsite (also “EBURNE STATION”). When Europeans began to settle the area the 1860s, it became known as Eburne after Harry Eburne, the first storekeeper and postmaster in the vicinity. It became important to distinguish ‘Eburne’ on the mainland (what is now called Marpole) from the ‘Eburne’ on Sea Island – where Mr Eburne ultimately moved (apparently, taking the name of the settlement along with him). To help distinguish the Sea Island Eburne from the Mainland Eburne, the latter became known as EBURNE STATION and, by 1916, as Marpole (after CPR executive, Richard Marpole). Link to the complete article - The Oldest Part of Vancouver Might Not Be Where You Think It Is - scoutmagazine.ca/2018/03/02/the-oldest-part-of-vancouver-...

Named after William Henry Eburne, who opened the first general store at the Sea Island end of the bridge across the Fraser. He was born in England c. 1856, he came as a youth of 18 to British Columbia, his uncle, Mr. Cridland, being one of the early settlers on the Fraser. The settlement that grew up [around Eburne's general store] and the post office were named after him. Originally the whole district was named after him, but to avoid confusion, the mainland portion was changed to Marpole, after the well-known general superintendent of the CPR. Mr. Eburne sold out his store business to Messrs. Churchill and McKay but he continued to reside in the district. Died at Marpole in June 1924 at the age of 68.

An ill-defined area on the North Arm of the Fraser River, this takes its name from W.H. Eburne. In 1881, fed up with farming, Eburne opened a store on the mainland opposite Sea Island. In 1891, after the bridges were built, he moved his store to Sea Island. The Post Office in his store had its name changed in 1894 from "North Arm" to "Eburne." The mainland portion of Eburne was renamed "Marpole" in 1916.
