The carved pediments around the Academy of Arts display the gods of Olympia. In front of the buildings are seated sculptures of Plato and Socrates, and to the side of them, on tall Ionic columns, are the deities Athena and Apollo.
Seeing this view put back together.. wow .. still blows my mind .. this is from a mountain above Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria.

Some shots from today's dress rehearsal for the presentation startling next week.
As usual a fine job on the lighting by the crew there, making a bit easier.

The Kitchen Sink
An irresistibly funny and tender play about big dreams and small changes
16-17 & 20-24 October 2015
A few images from dress rehearsal for the upcoming presentation of "The Kitchen Sink" at the Apollo in Newport.
An irresistibly funny and tender play about big dreams and small changes.
Things aren’t going to plan for one family in Pebblesea. Pieces are falling off Martin’s milk float as quickly as he’s losing customers and something’s up with Kath’s kitchen sink. Billy is pinning his hopes of a place at art college on a revealing portrait of Dolly Parton, while Sophie’s dreams of becoming a ju-jitsu teacher might be disappearing down the plughole.
Amid the dreaming, the dramas and the dirty dishes, something has to give. But will it be Kath or the kitchen sink?

Needed something wider than 17mm to get everything in the scene, but this will have to do. Apollo capsule and a Saturn V model. Space memorabilia lined the wall.
Apollo 15 selected photos of interesting specimen rocks on Moon's surface. I enhanced photos for clarity - some are rotated.
we needed more than one day here.
henry wants to move to chicago so he can visit here every day.
i don't blame him.
This is the actual Apollo 8 capsule that the Yorktown fished out of the water after splashdown in 1968. The button console you see in front contains actual recordings made in flight and on the moon.
Ever the ham, George decided he wanted in on this one so I told him to go right ahead!
After peeling off the tape and Micro Mask, I have a white astronaut with a gold bubble helmet. He'll be just visible through the LM window.

Could people please comment how this is playing for them; I get it running nice on the first viewing but subsequent views are really jerky and only show a few frames. It should run at a steady 10fps. I've not tried this before so any tips welcome!
The Ghost Train
by Arnold Ridley.
Possibly the greatest stage ghost story of all time.
30 June-1 July and 4-8 July 2017
When The Guardian’s theatre critic was asked for his choice of the greatest stage ghost story of all time, his answer was not, as might have been expected, The Woman in Black, but The Ghost Train, a comedy thriller written in 1923 by Arnold Ridley, who is less well-known as a playwright than as Private Godfrey, the most senior member of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard. Before Dad’s Army made him famous, Ridley wrote more than 30 plays, of which only The Ghost Train achieved notable success.
Ridley’s story of a group of travellers stranded for the night in a remote Cornish station was inspired by his own experience of a missed connection, while employed as an actor with the Birmingham Repertory Theatre Company. In his autobiography, he recalled an uncomfortable night spent at Mangotsfield Junction, near Bristol: ‘It was just about as lonely and gloomy a dump as one could imagine … I was awoken by a Bristol-Birmingham express rip-roaring by with a flash of lights and a scream of whistle.’ It gave him an idea: passengers stranded on a lonely station haunted by the shades of other passengers killed in a smash. Why not the ghost of the train itself?
This old-fashioned but superbly effective play is regularly revived. A comment by Jeffrey Holland – who brought his touring show to the Apollo a couple of years ago – sums up its perennial appeal: ‘It stands up because it is so brilliantly constructed … Each time you see the dead stationmaster’s red light swinging and hear the bell ringing in the distance, it still gives me a shiver even today.’
Come along and prepare to be terrified!

I haven't had my SLR / lights out in a while, so I set about correcting that this weekend. Just a quick one light setup to grab a couple of shots before we headed out for the evening. I now remember why I spent so much money on them! I'd really forgotten just how lovely the light coming out of the Apollo is when you bang it up close.
