November's full moon is most commonly referred to as the "Beaver Moon." The name was originally coined by Algonquin tribes. The Old Farmer's Almanac states," November's full Moon was called the Beaver Moon by both colonists and the Algonquin tribes because this was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs." Another name used by Native American tribes was the "Frost Moon."

Another shot with the Sony RX1 and not very good Wide Angle Converter: Dorr HD Wide Angle 0.45x Conversion Lens
Soft as jelly around the edges and all the sharpness of the RX1 has gone with this.
A much better conversion lens is the Ricoh 0.75x GW-3 lens. More expensive but adds real versatility to the fixed lens of the RX1.
For those of you that were contacts on my other account before I deleted it, you know I opposed Videos on Flickr; however, ...
Maybe there is a place for it if it is kept artistic. This isn't artistic mind you, this is practice.
I am trying a little time-lapse photography. This is sorta photography... right? I just linked them all together. :) Please excuse the lighting, I am testing.
Anyway, this is a 27 second video comprised of 163 frames of "photography." The subject isn't interesting at all, but hopefully the technique works. I hope to do something with a landscape and sky when I get it figured out. Enjoy.
Comment to let me know what to change (or keep) to make this better. Framing was 6 per second.
Thanks.
Product photography for a client that needed clean and simple shots of different items, this was a part of a clock collection with a kinds of clocks, old and new.
My clock gets set twice a year, next setting at 2am Oct 30th. To set, I use WWV tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwv.html ... radio, not internet. Clock generally stays within 0.1 sec from one daylight savings change to another, accuracy about 10 ppb.
Right knob gives 1x10^9 per 4 divisions = 1sec/33 years
Atomic clock on top runs 1/4 second slow (circuit delay) but makes a good "sanity check" (something NASA doesn't always do).
There will be a leap second this year.
On Dec. 31, the clocks should read like this as they lead into Jan. 1, 2006:
23h 59m 59s ... 23h 59m 60s ... 00h 00m 00s. Normally, the seconds would roll from 59 directly to 00.
Unit has battery backup and selectable output frequencies of 50 Hz to 10 MHz. Designed and fabricated by Edhiker

Town Clock
This is the old graveyard and all that remains of the ancient church on the tiny Channel island of Alderney. the old church was demolished, except for its clock tower, when the new church was built in the 1800's. this now serves as the town clock in St. Anne. Note that there is a Sundial under the clock.

New approach to the S2 clock project in evidence here.
So far the brief/analysis/specification pages are produced in much the same way as ever. The radical shift is in the generation of ideas approach. Here we borrowed an idea outlined in Kurt Rowland's 1968 book "The Shapes We Need". Amongst other things Rowland explores spatial relationships and really gets to the heart of aesthetics and visual beauty. Some things just look right and others don't. Why is this? Rowland seems to have a some good theories about this. This book was part of a series he released in the late 60's. I understand these textbooks were standard issue in Glasgow Secondary Schools Art Departments at the time. I don't know of any art teachers that used them much apart from my mother. Anyway this little card based exercise suited our purposes perfectly.
The current S2 course has seeen alot of changes over the last five years. We'll distribute the cours notes on the S2 Course page at: designandtechnologydepartment.co.uk in due course.

An original working cuckoo clock from Germany - belonging to family friends - I remember this well from my childhood. Really want one for my house, but they're quite expensive.
This clock was originally in front of Kern's Department Store on Woodward Avenue. When Compuware built its headquarters, they had the old clock restored and placed it near its original location. The dedication ceremony for the reinstalled clock was held November 21, 2003. Susan Lambrecht was present, representing the Kern family, Peter Karmanos was present as the CEO of Compuware.
For an historic view, see here.

"The Ernst Kern Dry Goods Company, originally located at 161 St. Antoine in Detroit, was established in 1883 by the father of Ernst and Otto Kern. Ernst, born 1875 in Germany, and Otto, born 1878 in Germany, came to the United States with their parents in 1883. In 1886, the store was consumed by fire and was rebuilt at Randolph and Monroe, and by 1900 the Kerns purchased a five story building at Woodward and Gratiot to accommodate increasing business.
Following the passing of their father, the two brothers took over the business in 1901; Ernst as president and manager, and Otto as secretary and treasurer. After World War I, additional space was once again needed for expansion, and the brothers acquired the adjoining nine story Weber Building. In 1929, the store was demolished and a new store was erected in September 1929.
Ernst Kern passes away in 1948 and his brother Otto took over as president, buying all the stock from his brother’s estate. Otto’s sons, Richard and Ernst, joined their father in management of the business. However, in 1957 the family decided to sell Ernst Kern Co., one of Detroit’s three largest department stores, to Sattler’s Inc. of Buffalo, New York. Following numerous corporate problems and changes in management, the store closed its doors for the final time on December 23, 1959.
In 2003 Compuware, which owns the old Ernst Kern department store building, had the original Kern’s clock restored and returned it to its original location on the corner of Woodward and Gratiot Avenues."
