For the challenge theme 'what music do you like?'. Some people have to have a soundtrack, whatever they are doing; I am not one of those people! I like to listen to music, particularly while I am working on the computer, but I am quite happy with the sound of silence too. My musical tastes were formed in the early 80s, and are what I call eclectic and my wife calls weird. This shot represents a typical slice of my music collection, with rock, pop, electronic, classical and a smattering of punk. Soon, shelves of CDs like this will be a thing of the past...
Work quickly and efficiently with the plate compactor. Eliminate the need for a worker in the trench.
This large, wheel-type compactor is just the ticket for compacting backfilled trenches 4- to 12-inches wide and up to 4-feet-deep.
The actual "pro" digital compact from Olympus is a talented performer. Although his ISO performance is a bit lower when compared to class leaders like the Canon G series or Fujifilm X cameras, most of the parameters are first class - including the optically great and fast lens, fast continuous shooting, very nice jpeg engine, high quality build, fast operation, practical tiltable touchscreen and fast autofocus. It´s weaknesses are the lower maximal usable ISO (more than 800 can be a problem when you want a good picture - but the fast lens compensates this when it comes to shutter speeds in low light situations) and the small buffer (for not more than four RAW shots). But the wide functionality and agressive pricing are making this camera an interesting offer, actually selling for $280.
From Gabriola Ferry - 3 (of 4) - Contax T2 Compact with Carl Zeiss 1:2.8 f=38 mm T* and Kodak ISO 400 UltraMax Film - Photographer Russell McNeil PhD (Physics) lives in Nanaimo, British Columbia where he works also as a writer and a personal trainer.
Well, ok, this is only some boring shot.
The reason was, to find out about the bokeh capabilities of my compact Canon G10 ...
Result is, not really surprising, that with small objects and macro mode (the golden birds on the fence poles are perhaps 10 cm in height) you can get a quite decent bokeh. Otherwise not.
Good bokeh / good background blur needs:
+ small object distance
+ large focal distance (drawback of the compact cams: short focal lengths :-/ )
+ wide aperture
+ long background distance
.... that's the whole trick ... :-)
Land Rover, who had produced their offroad vehicle in 1948 sought to make a more modern and comfortable vehicle. In 1970, the Range Rover was launched. Initially this model came in 2-door version only. In 1981 the first factory 4-door version was produced, though a number of firms had provided conversion up until this point.
The Range Rover's primary engine was the Rover V8, itself descended from the compact aluminium Buick V8. This engine ran a low state of tune, but provided smooth low end torque, ideal for offroad driving. Inital swept capacity was 3.5L, though this was increased to 3.9L and then to 4.2L during the model's history.
The 'Classic' Range Rover' was produced until 1996, but the model received a number of significant upgrades over that period. The model shown here features the cosmetic upgrades afforded the model in 1986 in an effort to update the appearance, notably th fitment of a number of black plastic trim items.
Styphelia capillaris previously called Leucopogon sp. Flynn is an erect, spreading, compact shrub to around 70 cm high by 120 cm wide with small grey-green leaves and white tube flowers barely 3 mm long. These shrubs flower from mid spring through summer and into autumn. Occasional flowers can be found during other times of the year. Flowers produce unusual fruit resembling a flattened leaf.
The genus Leucopogon generally includes the white flowering 'beard heaths' - leucos is Greek for white, pogon is Greek for beard. These are currently being studied and many Leucopogon may readily be included with Styphelia - Greek styphelos as tough, harsh referring to plants with stiff and prickly leaves.
Leucopogon sp. Flynn was first collected by Fred and Jean Hort December 1999 from Wandoo National Park, York while studying Stylidium species with Allen Lowrie at the same location.
Leucopogon sp. Flynn is an undescribed (un-named) shrub that is conventionally accepted as being unique. It is listed by Department of Parks and Wildlife WA as a rare plant found only to occur in a restricted location.

Styphelia capillaris is named for its very fine sepal tips.
These newly built dwellings at Thetford make a refreshing change from the usual mean little "traditional" modern houses, with their sub-Georgian embellishments, cubicle-like rooms and allocated parking. I know a chap who lives a few yards from here. He told me they were going for an "affordable" £120,000. Hmmm. Wouldn't mind one myself. The signboards say that one is sold and one remains for sale. Yet the website says that the agents are property management consultants acting on behalf of landlords. Can't quite work that one out.
My only complaint would be that the ground floor front is all window. This is another example ...habit dies hard... of an architect giving his "end users" what he thinks they ought to have, rather than what they actually want. We're all familiar with the dogma that interiors should be "light" and "airy" and that the inside of the house should merge with the outside. But these are abstractions. Human beings require privacy, retreat, "defensible space" and refuge from the world's scrutiny. Top-to-bottom windows might do on the garden front, but nobody wants to live in a goldfish bowl. The new owners of the three occupied houses have already had to spend a pretty penny on net curtains.

Four 35mm compacts clockwise from top right: Yashica Electro 35 GTN, Minoltina AL-S, Canonet New QL17, Fujica 35-ML.
- Yashica Electro 35 GTN (GSN's darker cousin) is excellent for low light shots, and have perfect ergonomics despite its largest size. The RF patch is the most contrasty, and the meter works consistently. It is also considered one of the prettier cameras.
- Minoltina AL-S is the lightest and most compact with the best all-around lens Rokkor 40/1.8. About the same size as Canonet QL17, but lighter.
- Canon Canonet QL17 (new) is the most capable and a very good lens, albeit weak RF patch on my sample (thus the blue filter). The meter is still working, but slow speeds are off.
- Fujica 35-ML has the most 3D looking Fujinon lens (despite slower at f2.8), and slightly different operations (thumb wheel focusing, bottom film advance lever like Retinas). Solid like a brick.
Compact is a neat little studs up font. Basic, but gets the job done. Perfect for signing mosaics.
Try writing with the font or check the details on Swooshable.

The camera is a relabeled Cosina CSM

Maginon CF35, cheap compact camera for 35 mm film. I have really no clue regarding the manufacturer, there is no country of production or serial number mentioned on the body. It is mainly made of plastic, but the castings are very clean, so my suspect is Premier from Taiwan.
The camera has a folding front door like the Minox 35 and the lens is really retractible. It is a 4/38 mm fixfocus lens, probably with 3 elements.
It has no exposure meter but the common symbols (cloudy, sunny and something in between). Together with the setting of the film speed (100, 200 and 400 ISO) you will get 6 f-stops in combination.
When the flash is switched on, you have to set the flash distance with the f-stop ring. So, I think the light sensor above the ring is just for underexposure warning.
Furthermore: film advance with a wheel, frame counter, tripod socket, no self-timer, 2x AA-cells for the flash.
Looks very similar to the Yashica Partner.
