Leigh and I went to see the Gunnison sage grouse at the Waunita Hot Springs Lek near Gunnison, CO. We drove 350 miles the night before and then got up at 4:50AM to drive to the lek from the town of Gunnison. We arrived at the viewing area about an hour before sunrise as per grouse lek etiquette. Unfortunately, this was the finest photo I managed (it has been brightened in PS - actually it appeard much darker than this to the eye), as moments after this was taken, a golden eagle swooped low over the lek looking for breakfast, and all the grouse few away. I do respect the bird's privacy, and am glad that the land has been preserved for their lek. However, 300 yards is too far away for good photos, and the sun rises behind the birds, so they would be backlit even if I could dial in on them. Maybe in the offseason a WW1 style trench could be built with cammo tarps on top that could give us a closer view and a chance for pics?

This is what happens when I try to take a picture of my white and unshaved (tmi?) legs. My flannel shirt gets jealous, and takes the spotlight. I know it's a waste of space for me to upload this since I don't have a pro account and can go up to only 200 photos (and I'm scarily close to that number), but I just had to share this. And I had to share the fact that I have... a blog... so if you wanna look at it, or just for future reference here it is: click me, i'm a blog.
...Yeah...

My MacBook's optical drive failed Wednesday. Very sad - but at least it's still covered by AppleCare (one month and 12ish days before it expires!). I'm off to pick it up tomorrow (Saturday)!
Hand-Held Stack Focus, 3 exposures
Not all that great as photo's go, but is probably the first "stack focus" I ever did & it opened my eyes to the possibilities of a new technique. New to me, anyway. I don't do many SF's even now but I've become fairly competent at it and enjoy the results.
Stack focusing isn't magic and won't save a totally bad picture. My SF 1 above is still a little blurry under close examination due to me choosing a pretty slow shutter speed (1/13th sec) for my 3 hand-held shots. I ain't that steady so I moved a little. But there's lots of room for improvement and the technique will reward you if you do everything right.
Here's an example where everything seemed to work just right: www.flickr.com/photos/paddyspig/13951296613/in/photolist-...

When barns fail... photographers swarm... Taken back in 09 near Pollock, South Dakota. There were quite a few photographers here as we passed through.
Together we created ten potential template designs for our toy prototype. This design is inspired by the aggravation one commonly encounters when accessing Twitter.

The 50x70cm poster "Dr.Fail" is our participation for the SEEAR Exhibition 2013 themed "Superheroes".
The brief was to create a character and visualize him through a poster.
-
The poster exhibits the origins of Dr.Fail through three basic timelines. Two of them are centered around his personal life and events, that inspired him to build machines and weird inventions, most of which failed miserably. The third timeline is focused on his relationship with Megumi, the girl who unwillingly broke his heart and transformed him to a super villain.
-
The idea behind the poster is not to show the character itself, but instead allow the viewer, through an emotional association, to visualize the character based on similar experiences. The color theme and the choise of the data circle, was inspired by the character's japanese origin, which is enhanced by the use of english and japanese languages for the legend and text of the poster.

As Oscar Wilde might have put it: “To have one unit fail may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two fail looks like carelessness.” This view shows 304006 stabled on the Folly Lane branch alongside Runcorn station, having failed earlier that day while working a local service between Liverpool and Crewe. Although it blocked the branch, this was the only available place to stable the failed unit, as the siding next to the former wagon works was already occupied by 303053 which had failed the previous day.
Alas, io9 has a major taxonomy fail in this story. Beetles??? Not even close.

This proves it that I can't use the Paul adapters. It places the rack too high. I'll have to get mid-fork braze-ons.
