The 18,000 glass panels of the renovated Les Halles Canopy in Paris. Each of the Canopy's "tiles" is composed of a mix of two different glasses: the yellow translucent enamelled Stratobel Imagin Gothic and the enamelled Planibel Clearvision, partially to give it a matt appearance.
There's just something about the simplicity of a low key, full face portrait. This one wasn't even planned. My lens tends to zoom in on its own when it's pointed downward. The weight of the lens elements overcomes the friction and I often look down to find the lens zoomed way out. As I lifted the camera and looked through the viewfinder, I noticed the tight zoom, but instinctively snapped the shutter anyway.

"The length of exposure (one minute in sunlight) is still too long for the portrait. It was fifteen minutes when I first began my work. Progress may continue"

This shot was just to big for one image so made two and stitched them together.

These binoculars are quite a cliche, but I never had a chance to photograph them. And certainly not in San Francisco. This particular one belongs to Vista Point - our next stop after Fort Point (see yesterday's shot). It was a couple of hours before sunset and shadows were turning long. Too bad I couldn't fit the rest of the shadow of the bridge tower...it was endless, but I still like the "shadowy" bridge you can see here in parallel to the real one. HCS, guys!
Taken last week around midnight. I got very cold and wet feet. Long exposure. This image straight from the camera.

GG Bridge as seen from Vista Point. I posted one with this binocular before, but was going through my files recently and found a few more outtakes. I like how it looks almost human here! Another one is in the comments.
Grrrr...it's Monday again! Hope yours in not too traumatic. :-)
I sat and talked to this man, and while talking I was taking shots. He was very happy with my payment for the session. I was grateful to him for his stories, and for being my first street photo-model.

Note housing in the nose for the ClearVision enhanced vision system for operations in poor visibility.
The first of three ATR 72-600s for Aurigny, equipped with 'ClearVision' technology (note the nose). Departing for Guernsey with GR671.

Here is what the small bump on the nose is about :-
ClearVision™ is an option on ATR’s latest avionics suite, Standard 3, which delivers important operational improvements. In addition to the EVS selected by Aurigny, ClearVision™ also offers a Synthetic Vision System (SVS) that provides the pilot’s Head-Up Display with digital images of terrain and obstacles, from an extensive database. Operators can also opt for a Combined Vision System (CVS), combining the EVS and SVS, and offering pilots the best possible vision and situational awareness.
ATR anticipates that in the next 20 years, there will be a need for over 3000 turboprops as regional air traffic is estimated to grow 4.5% on a yearly basis. A significant proportion of this growth will come from route creation, with 30% of the traffic growth coming from routes that do not currently exist. ATR aircraft are proven route openers, with the -600 series aircraft opening over 100 routes a year on average.
ATR Chief Executive, Christian Scherer, remarked: “Aurigny’s pioneering use of ClearVision™ will be a first in commercial aviation, here in Europe. Being the first to offer such a solution to our clients and operators demonstrates ATR’s constant desire to match their needs. In the regional aviation market, many airlines fly in challenging locations and ClearVision™ offers an opportunity to give pilots increased visibility and improved situational awareness without requiring expensive upgrades to an airport’s infrastructure – which in many occasions may even be completely unfeasible.”
Some people say that when you are truly in the moment, you forget to take photographs. There have been times in my life when I was genuinely present, and I didn't capture those moments. Now they have slipped away forever. Years later, I can't even recreate the exact memory.
Electric Drive
The phrase ‘Clear Vision’ in this Detroit Electric’s name refers to the extra flip-up windscreen, which afforded the minimum of protection in rainy weather, ensuring good vision on the road.
It is interesting to note the dual controls and levers; the car could be driven from both the front and the back seats. The batteries are stored in the boot at the rear of the car.
The 160 km range was very competitive so it was not surprising that the Detroit Electric became one of the market leaders in electric cars in the US at the beginning of the 20th century. Around 1910 the annual production was approximately 1,500 cars.
Unlike most manufacturers of electric cars, Detroit Electric managed to hold out until the mid 1930s, thanks to the production of delivery vans for bakers and milkmen.

‘Clear Vision’ heeft bij deze Detroit Electric te maken met het opklapbare voorruitje, dat tegelijkertijd een afdakje vormt bij regen, waardoor een goed zicht op de weg behouden blijft. Bijzonder is de dubbele besturing met opklapbare hefbomen; de auto kan zowel vanaf de voorstoel als vanaf de achterbank worden bestuurd. De batterijen bevinden zich in de kofferbak achterin.
De actieradius van 160 kilometer is zeer concurrerend te noemen en het is dan ook niet vreemd dat Detroit Electric in de Verenigde Staten van begin twintigste eeuw een van de marktleiders is op het gebied van elektrische auto’s. Rond 1910 bedraagt de jaarproductie zo’n 1.500 stuks.
In tegenstelling tot de meeste fabrikanten van elektrische auto’s houdt Detroit Electric het tot in de jaren dertig vol, dankzij de fabricage van distributiewagens voor bakkers en melkboeren.

You can see the Polar Bear at the needles in the distance. In larger detailed view I quite like the pose of the lady relaxing reading her book by the sea on the left and the walkers. Also On the left at the head of the beach is a radio station.

You must try to match your colors as nearly as you can to those you see before you, and you must study the effects of light and shade on nature's own hues and tints.
