This is something a little different I only know of Willoughby and City of Sydney councils utilising for waste management, being chute systems coupled to waste compactors, which feed steel containers. Not really something you see in the modern buildings for waste disposal, but it was a popular idea in at least these two councils when the high rise residential buildings started going up in the 1990s and 2000s. Pretty simple how it works, residents drop their garbage into the chute from whichever level they’re at, rubbish falls into the hopper and eventually a blade packer will cycle multiple times to clear the material and load the bin. When full, the bin is changed over with one of a number of empty ones so the system can continuously operate. Benefits of this system compared to plastic bins are that you’re working with very durable containers having a long lifespan, fewer bins are required due to the greater holding capacity and a much smaller garbage room is needed. What does suck about these compactor bins is when they’re overloaded, sometimes becoming very difficult to move and an even greater pain in the arse to empty out when there’s a big dense brick of heavy rubbish stuck inside. Although when they’re filled up a rational amount and all equipment is utilised responsibly, these are no problem to service. Both of the pictured compactor rooms belong to buildings built in 2000 and 1999, with two different packer systems which do indeed pack well, sometimes bringing the gross weight of these bins to over a tonne. Given the nature of the job, these 1.5m bins are also fabricated with extra ribbed reinforcement to withstand the packing force and mass of the loads.
Shot in... Paris with my... Compact camera, it fell in some vodka at some point I think, so it is a bit blurry at the center.
Tourists stroll around inside the Dome of The Reichstag in Berlin, Germany. Photo taken in 2006 with a 35mm compact camera..
My collection of super-compact 35mm cameras was recently greatly expanded when a freind of mine gave me his entire collection of cameras! So 3 Rolleis (35, 35 S and 35 LED) and 1 Minox (EL) were added to the Olympus XA and Petri Color 35 D I already owned.
The Rolleis, particularly the 35 and 35 S, are gorgeous, beautifully made, little cameras. But ergonomically they are... well... something of a challenge! Practically every single control is in a different place from almost every other camera, and they have the most diabolical battery compartment (inside the film chamber!!) ever invented LOL Just as well the batteries don't need changing very often.
Having said that I recently ran a film through the Rollei 35 and I found it to be much nicer in practice than I was expecting.

The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
The Sandugo is depicted in both the provincial flag and the official seal of the government in Bohol. It also features the image of the blood compact. The top of the seal explains the history behind the Sandugo event that occurred in Bohol, the fleet and the location where the Spaniards anchored and the place where the treaty was conducted which was dated on March 16, 1565
Als diese Kamera 1981 erschien, war sie die kompakteste Kleinbildkamera der Welt mit Motor und Belichtungs-Vollautomatik. Auch das Gehäuse-Design war richtungsweisend und das Prinzip des motorisch versenkbaren Objektivs mit Schutzabdeckung bewährt sich auch im digitalen Zeitalter. Betätigt wird dieser Mechanismus durch einen vertikalen Schiebeschalter, der bei geschlossener Linse auch den Sucher verdeckt. Das Solinar ist ein Vierlinser mit der Lichtstärke 2,8 und der Brennweite 39 mm. Die Entfernung wird manuell eingestellt - Nahgrenze 1 m. Die Programmautomatik steuert den Verschluss von 1/45 bis 1/1250 Sekunde und die Blende von 2,8 bis 22.
Es gibt ein passendes Blitzgerät, das seitlich angeflanscht werden kann (wie bei der Olympus XA). Der Filmtransport-Motor schafft ungefähr 1 Bild pro Sekunde. Der Messbereich geht von 25 bis 400 ASA, im Sucher wird ausreichendes Licht durch ein grünes Signal angezeigt, sonst rot.
Die Stromversorgung erfolgt durch zwei AAA-Batterien.
Offensichtlich war die Agfa compact als Fortführung der Optima sensor electronic-Reihe gedacht, denn man nannte sie zuerst "Optima 935 sensor". Weil sie aber doch auf einem völlig neuen Konzept beruhte, verzichtete Agfa auf die namentliche Integration in die ältere Reihe – sie hieß nun einfach "Agfa compact".
Dieses feine Gerät war übrigens die letzte in Deutschland entwickelte und hergestellte Agfa-Kamera.
This was a tiny nymph walking along a fence rail. Such funny proportions! Possibly Rhyparochromidae?
