Measuring Devices

this happened last Friday on our way up North to the Cairngorms. Two identical trucks carrying these strange looking devices. My curiosity was properly tickled 😎😛
I bougth a Rodenstock Depth of field calculator for my work with the graflex cams. I found out that this slide rule is also suitable for the Mamiya, since it also has a bellows focuser. Familiarizing yourself with this device was a bit cumbersome - but in the end I understood how it works. So here is the first photo, with an exactly set depth of field... somehow realy cool! :))

Magnificent Frigatebird ~ (Fregata magnificens)
"In the unlikely event of a water landing, your throat pouch can be used as a flotation device".
I always wondered how much the inflated throat pouch got in the way when these birds come down for a drink.
Thanks for visiting!

GR III #3: "GR" for GReen ;-) Another one from the (masked) family walk around one of Berlin's most beautiful lakes, the Krumme Lanke. Some lush green, before I'll continue with new architecture from Berlin's inner city (the "cube berlin") next week. I hope this isn't too
vivid and colourful, I know that on some monitors, and especially smartphone or tablet screens, this will probably look much brighter and very vivid, but on my monitor it's just right (yes, I know there are devices / methods for monitor / colour calibration, but... and it's also for Sliders Sunday, so...). Regarding the sliders, I HRDified this in Aurora HDR, tweaked the "Orton Clean" Glow filter in ON1 to my liking, and also tweaked the colours. As I'd mentioned in my description for my previous picture, I must have used "Highlight Weighted Metering" for all the photos I took on that walk, because the bright, sunny and cloudless sky was never blown out, and all the shadows and dark tones were way too dark, but as usual it's always easier to brighten the shadows and dark tones in post, and I was pleasantly surprised at the remarkably clean details and bright tones I was able to get out of the dark areas of the GR III's RAW files.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe, stay healthy :-)
"What to ourselves in passion we propose,
The passion ending, doth the purpose lose.
The violence of either grief or joy
Their own enactures with themselves destroy:
Where joy most revels, grief doth most lament;
Grief joys, joy grieves, on slender accident.
This world is not for aye, not 'tis not strange
That even our loves should with our fortunes change;
For 'tis a question left us yet to prove,
Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
The great man down, you mark his favorite flies;
The poor advanc'd makes friends of enemies.
And hitherto doth love on fortune tend;
For who not needs shall never lack a friend,
And who in want a hollow friend doth try,
Directly seasons him his enemy.
But, orderly to end where I begun,
Our wills and fates do so contrary run
That our devices still are overthrown;
Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own"

Come with me, comrade.
Where are we going?
You've been summoned by the Peoples' Commissariat of Non-Ferrous Metallurgy and Social Enlightenment. Finish your donut.
Summoned? Why?
is it true that you've installed an aluminum wind vane in front of your kommunalka?
You mean, my house? Yeah. So?
And affixed to this device, is there a colorful symbol of a certain Western comic strip character, often referred to by the assumed patronymic of "Snoopy?"
Well, yeah.
Be very careful, comrade. Some might see this as a subversive poisoning of the people's revolutionary ethic.
You don't say. Well, what if I replaced Snoopy with some other symbol, comrade? Say. . . Linus?
Well, that would make a difference. As I'm sure you know, Linus is a well-known anti-capitalist Hero of the Soviet Union. I believe the Committee would look favorably on such a change.
Great!
It might even mitigate the terms of your re-education.
My. . .what?
You are to be assigned to the Workers Shock Brigade at Yakustk Blast Furnace #4.
My god! That's the coldest city on Earth!
The five years will pass in no time. You may even return with most of your fingers, if not toes.
Five years?
Enjoy the rest of your donut. You'll need an ice pick to eat one where you're going.

Drumhead tensioning device on a conga drum.
Image is two inches square.
The conga, also known as tumbadora, is a tall, narrow, single-headed drum from Cuba. Congas are staved like barrels and classified into three types: quinto (lead drum, highest), tres dos or tres golpes (middle), and tumba or salidor (lowest). Congas were originally used in Afro-Cuban music genres such as conga (hence their name) and rumba, in which each drummer would play a single drum. Following numerous innovations in conga drumming and construction during the mid-20th century, as well as its internationalization, it became increasingly common for drummers to play two or three drums.

Northern Wheatear - Oenanthe oenanthe
The northern wheatear or wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe) is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae. It is the most widespread member of the wheatear genus Oenanthe in Europe and Asia.
The northern wheatear is a migratory insectivorous species breeding in open stony country in Europe and Asia with footholds in northeastern Canada and Greenland as well as in northwestern Canada and Alaska. It nests in rock crevices and rabbit burrows. All birds spend most of their winter in Africa.
The northern wheatear makes one of the longest journeys of any small bird, crossing ocean, ice, and desert. It migrates from Sub-Saharan Africa in spring over a vast area of the Northern Hemisphere that includes northern and central Asia, Europe, Greenland, Alaska, and parts of Canada. In autumn all return to Africa, where their ancestors had wintered. Arguably, some of the birds that breed in north Asia could take a shorter route and winter in south Asia; however, their inherited inclination to migrate takes them back to Africa.
Birds of the large, bright Greenland race, leucorhoa, makes one of the longest transoceanic crossings of any passerine. In spring most migrate along a route (commonly used by waders and waterfowl) from Africa via continental Europe, the British Isles, and Iceland to Greenland. However, autumn sightings from ships suggest that some birds cross the North Atlantic directly from Canada and Greenland to southwest Europe, a distance of up to 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi). Birds breeding in eastern Canada are thought to fly from Baffin Island and Newfoundland via Greenland, Ireland, and Portugal to the Azores, crossing 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi) of the North Atlantic) before flying onwards to Africa. Other populations from western Canada and Alaska migrate by flying over much of Eurasia to Africa.
Miniature tracking devices have recently shown that the northern wheatear has one of the longest migratory flights known - 30,000 km (18,640 miles), from sub-Saharan Africa to their Arctic breeding grounds.

IED, improvised explosive device , are modern soldiers worst nightmare.
By the end of 2007 they have been responsible for at least 64% of Coalition deaths in Iraq.
Here is a picture of us special forces targeted by an ied during a night mission in the afghan's desert (yeah it's not in the snow). I keep exploring in the live explosions area, made with bengal fire. You stick several together, and you should get a big blow.
A big thanks to Tiny Tactical and their amazing gear to make this one possible. www.tinytactical.com
Be sure I will do some more modern military pictures !
I was rummaging through some stuff recently and came across a little demonstration circuit board that I obtained during my working career as a trade journalist. The board contained this device, which is smaller than my thumbnail, and I thought it might make a cool macro.
I don't remember a lot about it, but I think this device was intended to demonstrate the ability of the sponsoring company to construct tiny circuit connections. This would have been from the early 1990s, and must have been a device made for Sandia Labs and Aptos Corp. It was photographed at 2X magnification. You can zoom in for a closer look.

On the misty morning of August 31st, 2015 Canadian National “Rock train” L704 with its single EMD SD60 and about 26 loads were at Ackerville, Wisconsin.
This train would normally shove south from its origin at spur 126 to this location to run-around their train, so the rear end device setting on top of the snowplow is an indication that they were still in the process of carrying out that move here before being able to proceed southward. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©

Here's a shot of my old place at 814 Gregg Street. You can find another shot of this corner on this web site. A friend posed for me one night, but it's been so long, I can't remember who. I think it was perhaps Elise Knox, but I'm not sure. I notice that one of the LP's on the floor is from the old Angel label (via EMI), when they came in plain, brown wrappers. One of the books is THE ARMADA by Mattingly. There's also a small, black radio visible. I used to listen to WRR-FM on this. That's the Dallas, Texas classical station. The radio wasn't very good, and it would pick up interference from air traffic right in the middle of your favorite symphony or concerto. The vent on the wall is for a very old gas heater that still worked. I rented this half of a duplex from the Morrison family, 1975-1987, and they were wonderful landlords. I like to think of the chair she's sitting in as my "Captain Kirk" Chair. had a lot of fun reading Stephen King novels in that chair. Sadly, it came apart, never to join Starfleet again. The black cylinder by the stereo is a preener, a cloth covered device for cleaning LP's. LP's attract dirt by their very nature. Never use record sprays or anything that might leave a residue on your LP's. There's a YEHUDI MENUIN MUSIC GUIDE on the floor by her feet. I reviewed this for the local paper, the DENTON RECORD-CHRONICLE.
Der Rennweg ist zu jeder Zeit des Jahres sehenswert, doch die wirklichen Perlen findet man in den alten Gässchen.
Vergesst euer Navigationsgerät, ihr braucht auch keinen Stadtplan, lasst euch einfach treiben. Entweder ihr steht plötzlich am Zürichsee, oder am Hauptbahnhof, der Limmat oder der Bahnhofstrasse. Verlieren kann man sich höchstens im Glücksgefühl der Eindrücke.
The Rennweg is well worth seeing at any time of the year, but the real pearls can be found in the old lanes.
Forget your navigation device, you don't need a city map, just let yourself drift. Either you're suddenly standing at Lake Zurich, or at the main station, the Limmat or Bahnhofstrasse. You can only lose yourself in the happiness of the impressions.
El Rennweg vale la pena visitarlo en cualquier época del año, pero las verdaderas perlas se pueden encontrar en las antiguas calles.
Olvídese de su navegador, no necesita un plano de la ciudad, simplemente déjese llevar. O bien se encuentra de repente de pie en el lago de Zúrich, o en la estación central, en el Limmat o en la Bahnhofstrasse. Sólo puedes perderte en la felicidad de las impresiones.
