I'm not fond of the "scene" modes on my point-and-shoot Nikon Coolpix P7100. In fact, until last night I never used any of the automatic "scene" settings. I like to have more control over my photography. By the same token, when shooting fireworks I usually use a DSLR and set it on a tripod. But after a long bike ride yesterday I was too tired to drag a bunch of gear to Shorewood Hills for the fireworks and just took along the point-and-shoot. No tripod.
What the heck, I thought, why not try out the "fireworks" scene mode? I did. Actually, it worked pretty well (and would have worked even better on a tripod). Who knows, maybe I'll just start delegating all my creative decisions to the mind of Nikon.

When you’re overwhelmed by grief. We go into autopilot just to get through daily life. It’s the only way the living survive the dead.

Electronics are so secret, they are enclosed into resin modules.
I did not include the upper cover for the photo to reveal the inside, and also because it is badly bent.

In early September 2019 the first shipments of the long awaited Tesla Model 3 autonomous electric vehicle began arriving in Australia.
All Tesla cars come standard with auto pilot, full self-driving capability and driver assistance features such as emergency braking, collision warning and blind-spot monitoring.
With the next software update, the cars will recognise and respond on autopilot to speed signs, traffic lights and stop signs. A number of other autonomous features will also be available by the end of 2019.
This white Tesla 3 Performance, pictured above is my sons car. He picked it up in Sydney on September 28 2019. Apparently if he had not been there at the pre-arranged time the car would have been allocated to someone else and he would have gone back on the waiting list.
Today Boxing Day 2019 I had my first opportunity to drive this amazing vehicle. Apart from being whisper quiet the technology is unbelievable and the acceleration from 0 to 100km hour in 3.4 seconds is breathtaking.
The standard car with various options he had ordered was unavailable on the day so Tesla upgraded him free of charge to a Performance Long Range vehicle. His car had been ordered well over 3 years previous to the delivery and his great patience has been rewarded with an amazingly sleek and seriously impressive, and in the end, upgraded vehicle.
The stylishly sleek low profile Standard Tesla Model 3 has a battery range of 460km (real life more like 350km), a top speed of 225kph and at 5.6 seconds 0 to 100km it has scary acceleration that throws you back hard against the seat.
The Standard Model 3 will retail for Au$67,900.
There are two other models being made available in Australia.
Long Range Standard (620km -233kph-4.6 seconds) (Au$85,900)
Performance (560km - 233kph-3.4 seconds) (Au$92,900)
When one gets into the car the first thing you notice, apart from the comfort of the seats and the sleek tinted glass roof, is the total simplicity of the dash. There is no instrumentation on the dashboard, just a large computer screen which literally does everything. It allows you to conveniently update the cars autonomous and standard driving mode software, make phone calls, use maps and play music. I'm not sure yet but its probably set up for voice command also.
Charging is carried out at Tesla's rapidly expanding network of Australian charging stations or at home through an adapted power point.
Recently I saw that the Tesla Model 3 has become the top selling car in the Netherlands.
It will be interesting to see how rapid its adoption will be in Australia given Australian's record as a world leader in transitioning to new technologies.
It will not be a surprise if the take-up is quite fast, despite our current conservative federal government's best efforts to dampen down all enthusiasm for anything not powered by fossil fuels.
The Tesla Version 10 Update was released on 26th September 2019

The C182 G1000 has a fully integrated flight director and autopilot with lateral and vertical navigation modes. It has all the functions that you would find in a modern jet airliner, like:
* Lateral navigation: Heading, VOR/LOC/BC navigation or flight plan RNAV lateral navigation
* Vertical navigation: Maintain altitude, level change maintaining IAS, vertical speed, ILS glidepath or following of the vertical path in the RNAV flight plan.
There is even a go around (GA) button to change the FD mode. Only the autothrottle is missing.
Nothing to do with the crappy autopilot system found in the 172 G1000, which is not integrated in the Garmin system.
PS: Actually this display is the MFD with all the PFD info in the emergency reversionary mode, but they are indistinguishable with this function activated.

No autopilot, so it was hand flying all the way during the 20 hour transcon. Yeah, I know. Tough life.

Yesterday:
I suddenly had the desire to sketch the unattractive back lane view I have from where I park my car when I visit the gym. I think this had to do with the fact that my car was not in the boiling sun(like it normally is) so it was quite pleasant to sit in my car with the window down.
I knew I had put my sketchbook and brushes in my bag…and my paints? No, it seems that I omitted my paint tin. BUT I did have some watercolour pencils (WCPs)- not the full set I normally carry... but enough! I really wanted to move pigment and water around the page so I was determined to see what WCPs could do to satisfy my urge! I do like WCPs and I especially like using them in association with watercolour paint. On their own, I have often been a little disappointed mainly due to their opacity and the fact that they keep lifting and a lot of the intensity of the pigment is lost if you put too much water on the page.
You can see on the left side of this sketch my experiments with fully loading the page with WCP and then trying to move that pigment around. I am not really happy with the result (a bit murky, and flat) However, I find what I was doing in the middle and right of the sketch more interesting…. It was a lot of fun and as always when I try something new, my brain is ticking with ideas for stuff to try next time!!!
I completely missed my turn on the way home (what is wrong with me… my auto pilot went on a break!?) so I ended up at an intersection that you have to wait for a long time… and well…. I sneaked a sketch! I have also decided to make myself an emergency paint kit (some old half used pans and a little container that I used to have in the office) so as least I always have some paint in the car now!
