Slipped Discs - the vinyl record shop - is moving out. A shame as it brought some extra character to the High Street.

Rusted broken metal disc on a paint chipped wall in an old abandoned power plant, Dublin. It feels very much like a celtic design to me.

An opportunity capturing some disc throwing at the tournament held in Americus KOA Brickyard Golf Club.
Men and women of all ages entered for a chance to win the local tournament.
Many thanks to Jack Beasley for his tutorial on camera settings on sport captures! I hope I did his tutorial justice with these captures on the participants in the tournament.
Great Job to all the participants and many thanks for allowing me to capture their moments of Disc throwing!

This image, captured with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), shows a spiral disc around the young star HD 135344B. The image, which was released in 2016, was obtained with the Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet Research (SPHERE) instrument.
Spiral features like these can be sculpted by planets, although this image doesn’t show evidence of companions orbiting HD 135344B. However, new observations at somewhat longer wavelengths, obtained with the Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph (ERIS) at the VLT, have found a possible young planet around this star.
The central black circle corresponds to a coronagraph –– a device that blocks the light of the star to reveal faint details around it.

I've gone through my share of Speedlight modifiers. This is the best. Optimum results without light falloff begin at 40 mm and up. Best to shoot with a Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lens for the reduction in weight.

I posted a chart of the comparative sizes of Rollabind and Circa discs on diyplanner.com. This is a photo of actual discs from the two companies placed on the chart. You probably can't see it, but my printer was pretty true to size. Across the bottom is a row of discs representing all of the colors I have personally.
So, the other day I placed an order from www.bestbuy.com. They had Xbox 360 in-stock for a while so I purchased one. I needed some games too, so I bought Project Gotham Racing 3 and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. The system should come tomorrow, but the games have already come in the mail. I went and checked my mail today, since I was busy yesterday, and then opened one of the packages. After opening the PGR3 disc box, which was still in the plastic wrap, I carefully turned over the disk by grabbing the edges of the disc and much to my surprise the disc had fingerprint marks all over it. I will be returning the game to Best Buy tomorrow. I currently have not opened the other game box yet and will be taking it with me to Best Buy tomorrow and will open it on site. I let you know what happens.
On a side note the time is messed on my camera because when I was in Italy in March I forgot to change the time back to Central Time.
Disc film
Description
Disc film is a discontinued still-photography film format that was aimed at the consumer market. It was introduced by Kodak in 1982. The film is in the form of a flat disc, and is fully housed within a plastic cartridge. Wikipedia
I've decided to display an old tax disc in my Honda. The car was registered in early May 1999, so officially the first disc for the car would have been 04/00, but I think this 1999 one looks good.
I have a large collection of tax discs from the early 90s up until very recently. This one is appropriately also from a Honda, although A13 DML is now on a 2013 Audi Q5.
Name: Disco sonobe (variation)
Designer: Natalia Romanenko

I liked the shadows breaking up the curves of the discs on this farm equipment.

I was asked to build a table top kaleidoscope for a local museum. This short video (the first video I've ever posted!) will, I hope, provide a little simple pleasure!
There were four primary manufactures of Kodak's disc film format. They were
Kodak
Fuji
3M
Konica
Not to be saying anything at all about the quality of these films when they were new the following is a duscussion of what the trend is when developing these films now.
First off you must be aware and very aware of the generation number of any particular disc film. it's location is noted in lovely red text in the supplied photo. The higher the number the newer the film per brand. That is not to say that a Kodak gen 3 is the same vintage as a Fuji gen 3. They're not. I'll do my best to explain...anyone that knows better then I do please don't hesitate to let me know and I'll check and change the info if I can
Kodak manufactured generations 1 to 8. Number ones from the inception of disc film in 81 and 8s from the discontinuation of disc film in 97. The other generations fall pretty evenly inbetween. It does not follow that the older the film the worse condition that it is in. Here's the kodak trend. Number 1s turn out better then 2s to 5s but 2s to 5s get progressively better. Of all of the Kodak disc film the number 6s are the worst. 90% percent of them have some degree of solarization (some dye layers reversing out into positive creating a this effect). 30% of the number sevens are the same while the other 70 are generally still pretty good. Number 8s are the Cadillac of any unexposed disc film that you may find. Almost all are at least OK. Avoid 5 to 2 progressively more. Shoot a 6 if you want something really whacky looking, take a chance with a 7 or a 1 and if you find an 8 grab it!
The Fujis go from gen 1 to gen 3. Not sure when they introduced their film but I'd bet it wasn't too long after Kodak...a year tops I'd guess. Also I will have expected Fuji to have bailed out a bit sooner then kodak did but I'm not sure when...my best guess would be early to mid 90s. The higher the generation number with fuji the better but overall they trend worse then both Kodak and 3M. I'd avoid these for purchase now.
3M goes from gen 1 to 3 and much of what I said for fuji would be the same but I expect they got in a bit later. The higher the number the better the condition of unshot disc film. 3Ms generally turn out pretty well yet....that is with some consideration for their vintage. Buy as high of generation number as you can.
Lastly is Konica. They too had generation numbers from 1 to 3. These are for the most part all in pretty miserable shape if still unexposed. I'd aviod these even more so then the Fujis.
Worthy of note....expired film looses sensitivity to light....the older the film the brighter the light you might want to shoot in.
There are only three places worth considering sending your disc film to for development in North America. They are
Dwaynes
Fast and inexpensive. No special handling - if your film is in good shape so will the prints. There is no digital step so there is no digital improvements to the images. Garbage in garbage out. You won't beat the price and how amazingly fast you get the film back.
Film Rescue
Developed in high contrast AN-6 aerial film developer, scanned, quick digital fix-up and uploaded for preview so customer can choose and pay for only the pics they want. No charge if film is blank. Decent price but they operate in a 30 to 40 day cycle. Just miss the start of a cycle and it could take as long 9 weeks to get the online preview. Hit the beginning though the preview can be as fast as 3 weeks.
Rapid Photo
More expensive then the other two options but comes with all images regardless. Seem to be good honest folks trying to do things right. Includes cd and prints and modified developer to improve condition of film. Likely faster then Film Rescue to actually have the product back in your hands.
Sorry as I write these I must admit that I'm biased as one of the above companies is mine...I did my best though.
Have fun!
Il vantaggio dei vecchi telefoni a disco era che si poteva mettere un lucchetto per evitare telefonate abusive, anche se il modo per aggirare l’ostacolo c’era... ma dovete leggere fino in fondo per sapere come si doveva fare!
Siccome il Perù (dove ho vissuto fino a tutto il 1970) è nell’emisfero sud, le stagioni sono invertite rispetto alle nostre e le scuole cominciano ad aprile per finire a dicembre. La cosa presenta molteplici vantaggi: la scuola finisce prima di natale e ricomincia pochi giorni prima di pasqua, per cui il trauma dell’inizio anno scolastico è subito stemperato da un’altra settimana di vacanza. In più c’è il non trascurabile vantaggio che il carnevale viene in piena estate, con moltiplicate possibilità di fare gavettoni e altri scherzi del genere.
Parlo di scuola perché all’inizio del 1971 arrivai in Italia dal Perù, con l’anno scolastico appena concluso (laggiù) ma con l’anno scolastico italiano già a metà. Non ci fu nessun problema per far valere la mia quarta elementare che, assieme alla classe aggiuntiva di alfabetizzazione (una specie di “zeresima” elementare), mi dava diritto ad iscrivermi direttamente alla prima media, tanto più che quella in Perù era una scuola bilingue, quindi l’italiano (che parlavo in casa) lo conoscevo bene anche come lingua scritta. Il problema fu che nessuna scuola pubblica di Firenze accettò il mio inserimento in classe ad anno iniziato: mia madre si rivolse allora a una scuola privata tenuta da religiosi, i quali invece mi accettarono senza fare troppi problemi. So solo che durante le “trattative” il preside dell’istituto chiese a mia madre se avrei frequentato da loro anche seconda e terza media; per agevolare la mia iscrizione, lei rispose di sì ben sapendo che non sarebbe stato così: e la ringrazio ancora con tutto il cuore per non avermici tenuto un secondo più del necessario!
Per farla breve, verso il 25 gennaio mi inserivo nella nuova classe. Riuscii a legare solo con un compagno nella mia stessa situazione, proveniva dagli Stati Uniti. Per quanto riguarda le materie, fu un trauma affrontarne alcune in particolare: non quelle scientifiche (con la matematica che avevo fatto in Perù ho campato di rendita fino a metà della terza media); invece solo capire cosa fosse quella cosa astrusa che porta il nome di “analisi logica” fu uno sforzo inimmaginabile! E poi l’epica: dovermi occupare della “Gerusalemme Liberata” è uno stress dal quale mi devo ancora riprendere! Non sapevo cosa fosse, mi ero perso l’inizio, non capivo la lingua in cui era scritta... e dovevo farne l’esegesi! Esegesi? Cos’è? Roba che si mangia? Ricordo pomeriggi passati su un vocabolario bilingue: con una “semplice” doppia traduzione italiano-spagnolo e poi spagnolo-italiano... riuscivo a capire almeno il significato delle parole! La mia esegesi si limitava a tradurre le ottave in linguaggio corrente; per l’analisi logica non so più come sia andata... fatto sta che riuscii a finire l’anno senza essere rimandato in nessuna materia!
Ma il telefono della foto cosa c’entra? Presto detto. In questa scuola privata, non so più perché, una volta ebbi bisogno di telefonare a casa. Mi dissero di andare dal padre tale in segreteria: questo padre era un incrocio fra lo zio Fester e la creatura di Frankestein, e aveva il telefono protetto da apposito lucchetto per evitare telefonate fraudolente! Infatti, nonostante mia madre pagasse una retta che non so quantificare, ma certamente non esigua, la telefonata mi fu fatta pagare... ben 55 lire. Ne avevo solo 50 che padre Fester prese subito, ma senza farmi lo sconto di quelle 5 che mancavano: mi assillò per una settimana intera, finché mi ricordai di riportargliele... spero ancora che ci abbia comprato una caramella e che gli sia andata di traverso (anche se purtroppo dubito che sia andata così!).
A proposito del telefono a disco con lucchetto... lo sapete come si eludeva il blocco, vero? Bastava avere un altro disco, preso magari dal telefono di casa. Si svitava il dado esagonale centrale, si toglieva il disco con il lucchetto, si montava al suo posto quello senza lucchetto... e il gioco era fatto! In quell’occasione però non avevo il disco con me (beh, non era proprio mia abitudine girare con un disco di telefono in tasca), e soprattutto non oso immaginare la punizione a cui sarei andato incontro se padre Fester mi avesse scoperto...
(Il set dei miei ricordi personali è questo)
Gold disc pendant
Anglo-Saxon, early 7th century AD
From Acklam Wold, near Acklam, North Yorkshire, England
Decorated with filigree and garnet inlay
This is one of the largest and finest of many surviving Anglo-Saxon disc pendants. It was found by chance in the late nineteenth century in a chalk pit near some prehistoric barrows. Disc pendants have been found across Anglo-Saxon England and reflect the increasing uniformity of fashion across the developing Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. They were often decorated with cross motifs, suggesting a growing awareness of Christianity among the general population in the seventh century.
The pendant demonstrates a range of jewellery techniques. In the centre a shell boss in a dog-tooth bezel is set with a central garnet. Garnets with shell collars are typical of high-status belt-buckles and disc-brooches from the period (such as the composite disc brooch from Sarre). Four V-shaped 'cross' arms linking the central bezel to the rim were fashioned in pseudo-plaited wire. Four garnet cabochons are set between the arms. The V-shaped and semi-circular wires are formed of triple strands of beaded filigree wire. Although relatively simple to execute, the wire decoration creates a rich and glittering surface.
Diameter: 4 cm
