Central Christchurch and distant Southern Alps.
Taken from hilltop looking down with 300mm lens has shown mountain heights but compressed distance.
We've been putting hot compresses on Alice's neck since her tube was installed, including after it was removed. She's very accepting of it.
Met up with Magnus to test out some new equipment. Had just gotten a 500 C/M house that I will use exclusively for digital captures. And from Magnus I'd just acquired his great Sonnar C 5,6 250mm. Tested it in a couple of different situations, and as far as I can tell this will be a cool addition to my other gear. Shot it wide open at 5,6 and it is still delivering some great shots.

I went to go find owls, got skunked out so turned to Mount Baker at 600mm just before sunset! The mountain is probably at least a 100 miles away!
Sydney, CBD
I toyed momentarily with the idea of making this monochrome then decided I hadn't the heart for it.

Colston Street, Bristol. Another of the city's more varied streets. Again a full 500 year time frame is depicted here stretching from the C16th, with the chapel of the three Kings of Cologne to the C20th Colston Tower beyond.
Telephoto landscape taken from a high point in the Fox Lake Burn towards the Big Salmon Range.
Behind the burned hill lies the valley of Lake Laberge. From out of this valley the hills stretch into the Semenof Hills that get traversed by the Teslin River Valley and further East by the Big Salmon River Valley, before the landscape reaches up into the snow-covered Big Salmon Range.

I’m posting this page from Typographically Speaking: The Art of Matthew Carter in an attempt to correct some misinformation about Helvetica Compressed that is being spread without citation elsewhere online.
Carter’s captions in the original panel (which are just barely legible in the book’s reproduction) tell a definitive story of the origins of Helvetica Compressed:
“A set of three faces designed in 1966 for the Linofilm phototypesetter. Although they were considered part of the Helvetica family – for marketing reasons – these faces had their real origin in a pre-Helvetica sanserif that appeared in a Swiss book on lettering in 1954 [Armin Haab and Alex Stocker’s Lettera, Vol. 1: A Standard Book of Fine Lettering, published by Verlag Niggli AG]. Schmalfette Grotesk, as it was simply known, was never made as type but was pasted up as stats for headlines in the German magazine Twen. Twen, a major influence in graphic design in the ’60s, was designed by the incomparable Willy Fleckhaus. Three spreads below.
“Helvetica Compressed was an attempt to capture the strength of the Twen face (and avoid the hideous shapes of Letraset’s Compacta), add a lowercase, and expand it into a three-face series.”
Carter’s captions also do a great job explaining the quantized unit system from the old Linofilm phototypesetters, and their influence on the design of the Helvetica Compressed series:
“The Linofilm had a relatively coarse spacing system with only 15 discrete widths that characters could occupy, measured from 4 to 18 units. The three possible 1-2-3 integer progressions required by lowercase characters with one, two, and three vertical stems are shown in this diagram. Thus the mechanics of the Linofilm effectively determined the weights and widths of these three faces.”
In an email conversation with Carter (included in the comments below), he clarified that he designed the Compressed and Extra Compressed styles in 1966, and oversaw Hans-Jürg (sometimes misspelled as “Hans Jörg”) Hunziker’s design of the Ultra Compressed style in 1968. Hunziker also designed the specimen for the whole family.

Warren, Connecticut. Context is everything. Take a round glass, put ice and water into it but take a picture of it in such a way that it looks flat on its background and the context of a glass of ice water is stripped away. In photography the loss of depth or three dimensionality from the use of a telephoto lens is called compression and that's a fitting word for what seems to be happening here, both in depth and inside the glass.
Note: this is not a crop of this image, it's another shot from closer range.

This is the surface of a metal tank from a small mine locomotive that ran on compressed air. One side of the tank was completely covered with these metal "bubbles" and the other side was smooth. I wonder why.
Tiger Leaping Gorge
Yunnan, China
This section of the gorge is known as the middle gorge. To understand the power of the water here, imagine that the yangtze river,some 100s of metres wide in sections,is compressed into a 20-30m canyon and the resulting flow of water that results from that bottle neck. Safety wasn't particularly a priority for locals here but this is as close as I would get to the raging waters in the late afternoon. Its a tough steep few kilometers down to this location and the route up can either be walked the same way,carried by locals ,or up the so called sky ladder. We walked it back up.
