A record shot uploaded for interest purposes, and more particularly for enthusiasts of a certain age.

 

I'd travelled down to Devon and Cornwall for a long weekend of rail photography intent on bagging a few Westerns, and any other diesel hydraulics that came my way.

 

After spending the Friday evening at a B&B in Penzance, I made my way back up to Plymouth for the next B&B and where I took the opportunity to walk out to Laira Depot for a few shots. I can't remember whether I asked permission to walk around (something you only tended to do if you were about to be confronted!), but do recall things were pretty relaxed there on this Saturday night. Not surprisingly there were plenty of locos on shed too.

 

In the frame here is class 52, D1071 'Western Renown' sporting a headcode of 1C63. With headcodes still seeing regular use at the time you'd be inclined to think this was its last working down to the West Country, however my (admittedly, limited) research suggests 1C63 was the 1.15pm Paddington - Cardiff instead. Hmm.....

 

In addition to 1071, there were six other Westerns present: 1009, 1013, 1014, 1027, 1030, and 1041. In a sign of the times there were also five class 08 and two class 03 shunters stabled too, plus the usual assortment of other main-line locomotives.

 

The shot was taken on a Zenit E so edge sharpness isn't the best. That said, I did think it worth investing fifty minutes or so of my life removing the worst of the dust marks, but frankly lost the will for anything more. I did scan it at high-res so it should comfortably display full screen, dust marks and all.

Evening of 29th June 1974

Dati Tecnici

a) Leica M8 + Carl Zeiss Biogon ZM 25 mm f.2,8T* (+ Filtro Leica UV/IR);

b) Tempo Finale 1/30s apertura a f.3,2 (a mano libera);

c) Utilizzato il Magnifier 1,25x per effettuare una messa a fuoco più precisa;

d) Lettura Esposimetrica impostata in M (manuale) esterna effettuata con Sekonic DualSpot F-L-778 Angolo 1° (effettuate 4 misurazioni con metodo del Sistema Zonale di “Ansel Adams”) a luce riflessa e 1 lettura di equiparazione e bilanciamento con Esposimetro esterno Gossen Lunalite lettura a luce riflessa (con calotta inserita);

.

e) Esposizioni:

1)......la prima sulla superficie della tenda posta subito dopo il vetro dell’infisso (in particolare quella parte ricamata più chiara in corrispondenza del bordo superiore della sedia) ;

2)......la seconda (doppia) sia sulla guancia destra della ragazza e per equiparazione sulla guancia destra della bambola (il valore era molto simile la variazione era di 1/3 di stop) questa la ho posta sulla Zona V del grigio medio al 18% aumentato di 1/2 del valore;

3)......la terza sul tessuto della spalla desta della ragazza in primo piano. Questa parte di superfice era molto importante per la trama ricca di particolari e di zone chiare e scure;

4)......la quarta sui capelli della ragazza, in particolare il riflesso, ovvero la porzione illuminata della luce proveniente dal balcone che si trova a destra. (In questa porzione, dopo alcune letture di verifica, ho dato un valore n+2,5 rispetto al valore letto in quanto la luminanza della luce era filtrata da una tenda di colore Panna con striature marroni pertanto la luce oltre alla filtratura veniva assorbita e diffusa, il cielo non era particolarmente limpido ma parzialmente nuvoloso e pertanto avevamo una temperatura cromatica di quasi 6000°K);

5)......La media ottenuta dalle letture precedenti è stata confrontata con il valore t/d (tempo/diaframma) ottenuto dalla settima lettura effettuata con misurazione a luce riflessa sulla calotta superiore dell’esposimetro Gossen Lunalite posto parallelamente alla figura e con la calotta rivolta perpendicolarmente verso l’ottica di ripresa (l’esposimetro è stato posto fra il braccio sinistro della ragazza e la guancia della bambola);

La luminanza è stata posta sulla zona V del Grigio Medio al 18% sovraesponendo intenzionalmente di 1+1/3 diaframmi. Ho intenzionalmente imposto e compresso o contratto la scala di n-1,5 per avere una maggiore corposità dei neri cercando di non aumentare il contrasto. Il totale è stato sovraesposto di n+1/3 per evitare che l’esposizione finale impostata non penalizzasse le alte luminanze delle “zone VI/VII” (disegni della stoffa del letto e della sedia nonché della trama della tenda) che sarebbero risultate con poco dettaglio (visto che la luce che arrivava in quelle parti in penombra e pre-penombra aveva una “temperatura cromatica di 2700°k”) o le basse luci (le luci in forte ombra quelle in ombra o parzialmente illuminate erano troppo basse stimate fra 1250°K"/1900°K"/. Poi c’era il fattore “caduta della luce” visto che la stanza non aveva altre fonti di illuminazione ne diretta né per riflessione (non vi erano pareti chiare vicino) tale fattore era proporzionale alla distanza dall’asse ottico di ripresa quindi in quelle zone la caduta variava dal 22% al 45%.

f) Impostazione nel corpo camera Leica M8: ISO/ASA 160, DR (auto), WB (Bilanciamento del Bianco (auto), Saturazione Colore (Stadard), Nitidezza (Medio-Alto), Contrasto (Standard) Riduzione disturbo (0), Qualità Immagine (DNG), Dimensione Immagine compresso (3:2 – 10MB);

g) Tecnica di ripresa esposimetrica con il sistema dell”Esposizione a Destra;

h) Prima Post-Produzione per la correzione del bilanciamento cromatico/tonale delle varie aree e zone di colore per compensare la caduta di luce con Nikon Capture NX 2;

i) Seconda Post-Produzione con Adobe Photoshop CC2015 per il bilanciamento delle zone d’ombra;

l) Post-Produzione di completamento con Nikon Capture NX2 e CorelPhoto-Paint X7 64bit per il completamento e la sistemazione finale del "Sistema Zonale"..

Dedicata ad un bimba di nome Giada - Dedicated to a girl named Jade

.

Questa parole sono dedicate ad una piccola bimba di nome Giada che ha avuto la sfortuna, assieme alla madre inconsapevole, di avere avuto in casa l’uomo “compagno della madre” che in assenza di quest’ultima abusava della bimba. Da i racconti delle suore tutrici e dai neuro psichiatri che attualmente la stanno aiutando a risollevarsi dal tremendo trauma psicologico e fisico. L’uomo è tato condannato.

-----------------------------------------------

This words are devoted to a little girl named Jade who has had the misfortune, together with the unwitting mother to have had in the house man "boyfriend of the mother" that in the absence of the latter abused the child. From the stories of trustees nuns and neuro psychiatrists that currently are helping to recover from the tremendous psychological and physical trauma. Man is drawn condemned.

Enya - So I Could Find My Way - Così ho trovato la mia strada

Così ho trovato la mia strada

.

….nei falsi silenzi

delle cupe ombre,

un pallido visino,

nel muto pianto

avvolto… nasconde

una piccola anima

dolorante,

….si sentono, sparsi

nel profondo vuoto,

eterni lamenti

che implorano….

aiuto struggenti

… in frammenti.

Non è un bel giorno

come tant’altri,

c’è il mostro che

mi cerca,..…”vuole”…

a dir di lui giocare,

nervosamente attende.

Della mamma…

premuroso compagno

….agli occhi della gente.

La mia bambola,

è lei che m’aiuta,

muta compagnia di

orrende disavventure,

a volte di pochi momenti,

ma spesso

di molte ore.

Grida...occultate da

quella mano invadente

bagnata dal pianto,

lacrime d'odio e dolore

irrompono le mie tenebre,

imploro a Lui negazione

di quei terribili giochi,

osceni momenti,

ma al ricordo

di pacate e sue dolci parole

seguivano gravi voci,

minacce e

suadenti menzogne.

Convulsi spasmi di pianto

e dolore conducono

implacabili l'anima a

vani pensieri.

E’ Il gridare d'una sola notte?

no!….è un lamento costante

…..perenne.

False dolci parole..

…di conforto

rantolano morenti

tra crudele realtà, vivono

sofferenti e contorti

tormenti, dell'anima

mia affranta

deluse speranze,

illuse e tradite.

Senti il cuore impigliato e

squarciato da acuminati rovi

di false promesse...

Così…ho trovato la mia strada

apro d’un tratto

quell’uscio senza freni

vado via nell’immenso vuoto

chiudo gli occhi e nell’abbraccio

futuro della mamma mia

volo libera nell’aria

per andar a giocar con gli angeli.

……………………….…Luigi Mirto

So I Could Find My Way

.

... .in false silences

of dark shadows,

a pale little face,

weep silent

wrapped hides ...

a little soul

sore,

.... feel, scattered

in the deep void,

eternal lamentations

begging ....

help poignant

... Into fragments.

Not a good day

like so many others,

there is the monster that

I look, ... "he wants" ...

to tell him to play

nervously awaits.

Mother's ...

caring companion

.... in the eyes of the people.

My doll,

it is she who helps me,

company wetsuit

hideous misadventures,

in times of a few moments,

but often

of many hours.

Cries hidden by

that hand intrusive

wet with tears,

hate and pain tears

break my darkness,

implore Him denial

of those terrible games

obscene moments,

but to remember

of calm and his sweet words

they followed serious voices,

threats and

persuasive lies.

Convulsive spasms of crying

and pain, lead

implacable, the soul

vain thoughts.

And 'the shout of a single night?

No! ... it is a constant lament

…..perennial.

False sweet words ..

... comfort

rantolano dying

between cruel reality, live

sick and twisted

torments of the soul

my heartbroken

dashed hopes,

deceived and betrayed.

Feel the entangled heart and

torn by sharp thorns

of false promises ...

So ... I found my way

I open at once

that door without brakes

I go away empty immense

I close my eyes and embrace

future of my mom

free air flight

to go and play lo with the angels.

……………………….…Luigi Mirto

Becket was a 12th century chancellor and archbishop of Canterbury whose murder resulted in his canonisation.

 

Thomas Becket was born in around 1120, the son of a prosperous London merchant. He was well educated and quickly became an agent to Theobald, Archbishop of Canterbury, who sent him on several missions to Rome. Becket's talents were noticed by Henry II, who made him his chancellor and the two became close friends. When Theobald died in 1161, Henry made Becket archbishop. Becket transformed himself from a pleasure-loving courtier into a serious, simply-dressed cleric.

 

The king and his archbishop's friendship was put under strain when it became clear that Becket would now stand up for the church in its disagreements with the king. In 1164, realising the extent of Henry's displeasure, Becket fled into exile in France, and remained in exile for several years. He returned in 1170.

 

On the 29 December 1170, four knights, believing the king wanted Becket out of the way, confronted and murdered Becket in Canterbury Cathedral.

 

Becket was made a saint in 1173 and his shrine in Canterbury Cathedral became an important focus for pilgrimage

very very rarely is anything in life totally black or white. its when diff minds get together , lol minds that have no right being in contact, that life gets interesting.

i always luv talking to you :-)

 

this really did remind me of a quote. a prof i had years ago had it printed in plain white block letters on black paper (yeah thats where i first saw that) and hung it on her office wall. i always luved it ....

Ne ho ancora di foto da caricare, ma comincio con questa fresca fresca di giornata, scattata neanche un'ora fa.

Si vedono le due testate dei Minuetti che sono accoppiati e pronti a partire con un Reg. da Trieste Centrale per Portogruaro.

Viene messa a confronto la nuova livrea regionale Trenitalia, applicata sul Minuetto ME60 con il "vecchio" XMPR del Minuetto ME77 a sinistra.

Si tratta della prima volta che vedo dal vivo questa livrea, e seppur sia un po' falsata dalla luce del sole al tramonto, non mi dispiace.

...Eh si si sisi .... sembra facile fare un buon caffè ... a me continua a piacere il caffè' della vecchia macchinetta napoletana ...

La caffettiera napoletana è un tipo di caffettiera che prende il nome dalla città di origine cioè Napoli che vanta da secoli il primato nella tradizione della preparazione del caffè.

Come preparare il caffè con la Caffettiera Napoletana:

Macinare il caffè molto finemente - il caffè macinato va collocato nel serbatoio bucherellato della caffettiera e poi si avvita sopra il filtro - versare l’acqua necessaria nella parte inferiore della macchinetta, con distanza dell'acqua a circa mezzo centimetro dal forellino, poi si inserisce il serbatoio completo di caffè nel serbatoio dell'acqua - mettere la napoletana sul fuoco con fiamma bassa, facendo attenzione che il becco sia rivolto verso il basso- quando l'acqua comincia a bollire, farla bollire per circa tre/quattro minuti in modo tale che l'aroma salga e si esalti ancora di più il sapore del caffè - spegnere il fuoco e girare la caffettiera al contrario - mettere " 'o cuppetiello" sul beccuccio - attendere dai 5-8 minuti per fare in modo che l'acqua scenda e filtri nella parte bassa del serbatoio.

Un segreto da un napoletano DOC:

Il grande Eduardo de Filippo, nella sua commedia Questi Fantasmi, scritta nel 1945, ci descrive la preparazione del caffè con la caffettiera napoletana:

«Sul becco io ci metto questo "cuppetiello" di carta ... il fumo denso del primo caffè che scorre, che è poi il più carico non si disperde. Come pure ... prima di colare l'acqua, che bisogna farla bollire per tre quattro minuti, per lo meno, ... nella parte interna della capsula bucherellata, bisogna cospargervi mezzo cucchiaino di polvere appena macinata, ... in modo che, nel momento della colata, l'acqua in pieno calore già si aromatizza per conto suo.»

Buon Caffè a tutti!

Sorry, I've replaced this 3 times, but I wasn't happy with the tones. They're still not quite right.

"Then they came to the seat of Morgoth in his nethermost hall that was upheld by horror, lit by fire, and filled with weapons of death and torment. There Beren slunk in wolf's form beneath his throne; but Luthien was stripped of her disguise by the will of Morgoth, and he bent his gaze upon her."

 

I was reading the story of Beren and Lúthien in the Silmarillion for the first time as I built this, fittingly, and I’m really excited with the way my unlightbox worked in the photography session. Basically I made a dark box with light only coming in through a thick blanket on top, and from the front, but I also put a light in the back to make Melkor stand out against the light grey because otherwise he would get lost; and this way he stands out as the only thing in shadows.

 

This is my entry to the Semifinals of MELO, and an entry to the Summer Joust. The category was Evil, and for the Summer Joust I had to build a Scene of Light and Shadows, contrasting the lives of two beings in a single scene. What could be more evil than the thought of the fallen Vala, a design more dark than any that had yet come into his heart since he fled from Valinor? And what better contrast than that of the fairest of all the Children of Ilúvatar, with the very form of Evil, the author of discord and darkness?

 

I hope you like it! The picture was a lot of work, I stayed up all night working on this, haha. To God be the glory!

Le dilemme le plus courant auquel on est confronté lorsqu’on photographie un animal sauvage en hiver est de déchiffrer la meilleure façon d’exposer votre image.

 

Le contraste saisissant entre la fourrure sombre des animaux et le monde excessivement blanc qui nous entoure peut créer des conditions de prise de vue difficiles.

 

Alors, comment exposer nos images en hiver ?

 

Malheureusement, il n’existe pas ici de solution universelle.

Au lieu de cela, la surexposition et la sous-exposition ont chacune leurs propres avantages qui peuvent conduire à de meilleurs résultats en fonction de la situation et de votre affinité en post-traitement …

 

La surexposition est utile et conduit généralement à de meilleurs détails sur l'animal et ses ombres, tout en conduisant souvent à une légère surexposition de certaines zones de neige blanche.

 

En règle générale, les zones surexposées peuvent être traitées lors du post-traitement en rendant les fonds d'un blanc pur et en se penchant sur les sections lumineuses. C’est idéal pour les portraits et les prises de vue minimalistes d’un sujet les jours où la lumière est plus douce.

 

La sous-exposition, en revanche, est plus efficace les jours plus lumineux sans couverture nuageuse et peut être plus efficace pour capturer tous les détails de l'image. Cela peut aider à éliminer la lumière intense qui masque souvent les hautes lumières et à attirer l'attention sur d'autres détails de l'image : l'arrière-plan, le premier plan et le ciel.

 

En fait, je dois avouer qu’il n’y a pas de bonne réponse 🤔

 

La chose la plus importante en matière d'exposition est d'aborder chaque moment “photographiable” avec une idée de la façon dont vous souhaitez le modifier dans votre logiciel de post-traitement et en vous appuyant sur les éléments qui peuvent être modifiés et en évitant ceux qui ne le peuvent pas …

It's getting dark most of the time when we finally tear ouselves away from our lake visits.

 

it's a slow drive as the road winds up out of the deep valley back onto the plains, where, at this point, I always slow right down even more, so I get a chance to look across to the high country and see what the sunset's doing today.

 

But times like this, with the sunbeams falling through the peaks, I just have to stop, get out, and take it all in.

Sorry I've been slow to catch up with you all, lots going on here and I've had pandas all over the place when trying to visit streams :(

 

Last night I had iPhoto crash and went into an auto-repair - thank goodness - but it gave me a fright that I might lose my pics, nearly 35,000 of them.

 

When it came back on, there were ones I was sure had been deleted, go figure.

 

Been intending to clear the decks for ages, get some off onto CD's & sticks but I do run out of my own attention units trying to confront this job at night..

 

Anyhoo, a friend has finally promised to put some time aside this week to help me with the back-up process, as I'm rather overwhelmed and confused about the so many different ways to do it, and been procrastinating over the whole thing..

Unfortunately many New Yorkers have had the experience of being approached by a stranger, sometimes pitiful looking sometimes acting in an intimidating or bizarre way, who stops them to ask for money. Knowing when to make, and when to avoid making, eye contact becomes instinctual . So when, confronted by a man dancing in the middle of the street , the two women in this photo have unsurprisingly chosen to try to ignore him and act as if he was invisible. Unsurprising and understandable, but it's also real shame .

Yes, Dancing Machine #1 is out on the street trying to make some money but he is also offering something valuable in return , a performance that he has invested a lot of time, energy and even some money of his own to create. At a minimum , he’s bought a very good sound system, found and then arranged the music that accompanies his dancing, practiced and then organized his dancing moves into a coherent and very pleasing show. The end result deserves, I think, to be seen as Dancing Man #1’s own form of street art. That his audience is often unresponsive, indifferent or uncomprehending should come as no surprise to any artist, least of all to those of us who are street photographers

Daredevil has always had a very special place in my heart, whether it's the Netflix show or the character himself. So finally seeing him on the big screen in No Way Home was a dream come true!

 

It was that moment that drove me to build this MOC, also thank god we finally have an official Daredevil figure! Hope you enjoy, more detailed photos soon

I took this shot down a little lane just outside Exeter Devon, the day was wet and grey, but even so i decided to go venturing to see what was about, i always keep a small camera in my car because you never know when your need it and on this day proved me right, The sun suddenly came out and as i turned this corner i was confronted with beautiful picture, i hope you like it as much as i do.
