Same vantage point as this one from a month ago, but with more snow & ice now.
This one was done at the same time as the one here, with a broader sweep.
Hm. I seem to like this spot. Maybe I can come back and get the view once a month for a year to watch the progression of the seasons...
Same scene, through the year:
* May 2009
Not sure if this statue was to scale, but if so, Thoreau was a lot shorter than I realized. The statue couldn't have been more then five feet tall, maybe even less.

This ship was from Uruguay, and was the only one we had time to board. (Normal non-montage photos of it will go up later.)
Favorite details here:
* the Aztec sun on the sails is fantastic
* for some reason, there's a man in full American Colonial garb (tricorner hat, musket, etc) is touring the boat; you can see him right at the bottom-center, near the bridge.
Distressing to see something like this the night we got to town. I forget if it was still there the next day, but I think it was. Apparently the WP (worker's party?) had done well in recent elections, and still had the popular support of at least some vandalizing youths.
I always thought this was completely unappetizing.
Corn is supposed to be yellow, or maaaaaaybe almost-white pale yelloow. But not blue, red, or perish the thought, multi-colored.
Apparently it doesn't actually taste any different, but apparently impressions settled upon as a 2 year old can be hard to overcome.
(Stray thought: would diversifying the "standard" corn crop be good for biodiversity, the same way that having bananas other than the Cavendish would probably make them more resilient to fungus infections? Hm. Probably, right?)

Matthew Borgatti (Facebook / Flickr / LinkedIn / Twitter / Vimeo) at the Eyebeam Open Studios Fall 2009, a biennial event in New York City celebrating the synergy between art + technology. Matthew graduated from RISD in 2007 majoring in industrial design. You can check out his portfolio at sinbox.org
Biography
Matthew Borgatti was born with a painfully overactive imagination, grew up a perfectionist and will probably die on a runaway carnival ride. He went to the Rhode Island School of Design and took summers off to build movie monsters in Burbank beginning with Snakes on a Plane and working his way through Aliens VS Predator II: Requiem. After graduating with his degree in Industrial design he moved out to California to make his fortune. Although this didn't exactly work out he spent his time there interning at Instructables, building boats for Makani Power, publishing a book called Show Me How, running industrial robots for a show called Prototype This! and helping everyone from independent inventors developing their first product to artists working on giant sculptures for Burning Man through Instinct Engineering. He once wore a tshirt so witty that people thought he was both sarcastic and sincere at the same time. The paradox stretched the fabric of spacetime so thin that he was able to high five himself. He's currently working at Eyebeam, developing prototypes for and directing the filming of Diana Eng's project Fairytale Fashion.

Fairytale Fashion
Diana Eng: As a fashion designer who works with science and technology, I've learned about some really amazing things. I've had some great experiences as a designer: sitting front row at fashion week, working at various fashion companies, researching at the University of Bath Mechanical Engineering Dept., being a designer on Project Runway, working in Victoriai's Secret Research and Development department, and co-founding NYC Resistor hacker group. When I was a little girl, I wish that my friends and I knew about some of the things I know today. We would have loved to play with them. Dress-up with super sparkling LED's. Imagining worlds made of deployable structures. I want to share all of the neat things I've learned, because no matter what your age, science and technology are always fun to play with.
You may not be able to sew or solder or draft a pattern or program a microcontroller. But that's okay because Fairytale Fashion is about imagining the possibilities. I will be trying my best to make them happen.
Fairytale Fashion is produced with the support of Eyebeam.

If you like the pictures of the Austin-Healey 3000 MkII, you should also check out the later ones of a 3000 MkIII. :-)
• • •
Pasting from Wikipedia: Austin-Healey 3000:
• • • • •
The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built from 1959 to 1967, and is the best known of the 'big' Healey models. The car's bodywork was made by Jensen Motors, and the vehicles were assembled at the BMC Abingdon works.
The 3000 was a successful car which won its class in many European rallies in its heyday - and is still used in competition by enthusiasts today.
[...]
Introduced in March 1961, the 3000 Mk II came with three SU HS4 carburettors and an improved camshaft, designated the BT7 MkII (4 seat version) and BN7 MkII (2 Seat version). However, upon the introduction of the BJ7 (2+2 seats) model in January 1962, the number of carburettors was reduced to two, (SU type HS6) due to the problems experienced with balancing three carburettors. As a result of the introduction of the BJ7, the BN7 MkII was discontinued in March 1962, and the BT7 MkII followed in June 1962. Externally, the main changes introduced with the BJ7 were a vertical barred front grille, wind up windows rather than side curtains, an improved hood, and a wrap-around windscreen. Optional extras were similar to the MkI, although the option of a factory hardtop was not available from the BJ7's introduction. From August 1961 a brake servo was also available as an optional extra, which greatly improved braking performance. The BJ7 was discontinued in October 1963 with the introduction of the 3000 MkIII.
A 3000 MkII BT7 with hardtop and overdrive tested by the British The Motor magazine in 1961 had a top speed of 112.9 mph (181.7 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 10.9 seconds. A fuel consumption of 23.5 miles per imperial gallon (12.0 L/100 km; 19.6 mpg-US) was recorded. The test car cost £1362 including taxes.[3]
11,564 were made (355 BN7 MkII, 5,096 BT7 MkII, and 6,113 BJ7).[2]

One of the odder sights in Somerville, at least to me, is to come into town from the Inman Square section of Cambridge, bringing you into Union Square, where you come across A-1 Plumbing Supply, and their parking lot full of old household radiators. There must be hundreds of the things surrounding the shop at any given time, and for all I know the inside is just as crammed with them.
I bought the 100-400 originally not to photograph birds but to photograph the moon. But I do not often see it because it was always so cloudy in Hong Kong and even if I have a full view of the sky, I do not see it.
But I did finally. I shot this with the 7D, because it has a crop-frame factor of 1.6x. I used the 1.4x Extender also. Altogether this gives me a 400 x 1.6 x 1.4 = 896 mm equivalent on a full-frame.
The cavit of sticking the 1.4x on the 100-400 is that you lose AF completely because with the exception of the 1D line which can focus at f/8, none of the other camera bodies can. With this in mind I might actually buy a 2x extender to see if I can get any closer.
I used a release cable for this shot but I can see some vibration at full-res. So next time I see it again I will use a mirror-lockup. I am also thinking of buying a geared head for the tripod because it seems that even on the tripod the camera still moves after some adjustments—no matter how small.
The Chinese name is quite descriptive as 娥 is a goose and 眉 is the eyelashes — it describes the moon as looking like the eyelashes of geese.

Charmingly rusty old FJ40 Land Cruiser. Probably from the 1970s, give or take.
Not sure why I like this truck so much, I guess it just has character.

Revisiting an recent idea, and deciding that these photos prove that the lens I'm using just doesn't do a particularly sharp image at the long end of the zoom range.
The sky was a lot brighter today than it was last time, so I thought I'd be able to get a better version of these shots. But the tight version I took today still wasn't that great.
Maybe I'd get better results by turning off the VR feature, using a tripod or other stabilizer, or just using a different lens or camera body. Hmm.

Bostonist: Photo of the Day, September 1, 2009: Harbor kayak Rentals :-)
A group of high school students circled around a leather castle hanging from the ceiling. At first glance, it resembles something not dissimilar to that of a group of LV luggage bags. So they are all too busy taking photos with their cell phone. A boy was seen explaining what he sees to his female classmates.
There does not appear to be anything wrong with this scene, except that the castle was not made with ordinary leather — these are kinky leather sex toys. If the girls had known, they probably would have all screwed “Eww” and disappeared into Neverland.
Oh the joy of fine art — once elevated to a stage for excellence, no one even thought of the impossible. But it is. Demented? Yes, absolutely — which is precisely why I loved it.

Obviously this is aligned "wrong", but I liked the way that tilting it made a roughly straight line from home plate, straight down the left foul line to the bottom here. The effect was lost if I leveled it out, so I left it abstract instead.
We were supposed to be hit by Hurricane Bill this afternoon, but these mild little waves were the worst weather we came across.

This photo ran on Bostonist's Bite Size News piece for August 25, 2009, "The Good Die Young Edition".
Again, why they picked this over some of the others?
Who knows, but thanks all the same :-)
I was the team member who oversaw the unlikely purchase of these fine pom-poms from a Richfield dollar store by one of my clients. It was only a buck, so I doubt my common sense will come into question with this one. What we were at the dollar store looking for in the first place was a replacement for this plastic, foot-shaped, clear, purple soap dish thing. At least I think it was a soap dish. It also apparently contained significant calmative relaxatory powers for its owner. The item was known around my workplace as 'the purple toes', and they have gone missing. If you have seen an item of this type, let me know. We need a new one soon.
I'm not actually sure where along the riverbank this would have been, but somewhere close to the Louvre sounds right.
That beacon light atop the Eiffel Tower is a beam that rotates like a lighthouse, to help the airships steer clear of the boulders of the skies, that which we call skyscrapers.
It's funny, I grew up in this neighborhood, and had spent lots of time wandering around the woods behind our house, but I'd never noticed before this weekend that there was a faint trail going off in a direction I'd never walked before.
With Isaac sitting on my shoulders, we walked down the path to see where it goes. In every other direction I've been, it's all thick woods, swampy in places, but mostly just ordinary woods. So imagine my surprise to find this huge open field out there, largely undisturbed, boxed in by a fairly big neighborhood on one side, a high speed highway on another, and a major commercial roadway strip on the third side. (Zoom on on the map view to see what I'm talking about here.)
And we saw an eagle, too! It flew away before I could grab the camera, but it was still fun to see.
As a city boy, Isaac never gets a chance to wander around in the woods and see things like this, while I grew up taking it for granted.
I think I need to spend more time getting lost with him in the woods :-)
The standard angle on this one is from the front, but the pictures I got this way lost nearly all contrast, so you just saw two white blobs and something vaguely resembling heads connecting them at the top.
In contrast-- ahem. On the other side-- ahem. Sorry. By way of comparison, this view from the back backlights them nicely, brings out some of the contrast, and frames it better as well. To me anyway.
Turns out a lot of this stuff is just as funny in a photo as it is if you spent the $2.99 to take it home.
Of course, I shot a whole lot of this bird in flight. I have wanted to do a video, but I am not skilled at videography, so instead I thought that I would utilise the 7D’s 8fps to collect a range of stills to potentially create a stop-motion video of them.
These were shot handheld using AI Servo with the IS in Mode 1 as it was handheld, but I do wonder if I should have shot in Mode 2 perhaps — though in previous attempts when I shot in Mode 2 for some eagles, they did not come out sharp enough.
You see the birds are quite fast — here although the shutter speed is at 1/640 sec, it still does not appear to be fast enough. Perhaps I should look into shooting with Tv instead of Av for birds in the future.
For this I also tried out the well-hyped “camera shake reduction” filter inside Photoshop CC and decided to not process with it after seeing the result — it is rather artefact laden. I supposed that it would have some use for some if you intend the photo to be outputted in lower resolution, though for 1:1 output I think that those noise are quite noticeable.

This photo was part of two of the three panorama shots taken while driving through New York City in December, 2008:
* NYC Panoramas: Manhattan & Brooklyn Bridges
* NYC Panoramas: Brooklyn Bridge
* NYC Panoramas: WTC construction site (doesn't use the bridge photos, obviously)
For most of these panoramas I do, I zoom the lens all the way out to 18mm (~36mm equivalent on a 35mm film camera, or about ~1.5x wider than the human eye's normal field of vision), then pan across a really big setting. That's how I did the broad view of the Manhattan & Brooklyn Bridges.
Some other times though, I zoom all the way in to 200mm (~300mm equivalent on a 35mm camera, or about 6x zoomed in compared to the human eye), then go for more detail on something in the distance. That's how I did the one of the Brooklyn Bridge while standing at the same vantage point as the one of both bridges.
As for the Brooklyn Bridges, one thing that jumps out at me with both versions is how the tops of the towers are leaning away from each other. To an extent, this is actually true -- due to the curvature of the Earth itself, big suspension bridges are further apart at the tops of their towers than they are at the bottoms. But the difference is only a matter of a few feet -- it shouldn't be possible to pick up a difference that subtle this way. I'd blame it on the abstractness of the panorama shots, but the same effect shows up in this normal shot of the main span. I think it's probably just an optical effect from the lens I use (Nikon 18-200 VR) and [maybe] from the fact that these were taken just above the water level, so I'm looking up at the towers (even though they're so far in the distance).
Anyway.
My favorite detail with this one is the way I caught several views of the same sea gull flying from left to right as I was taking the individual photos. I think the bird is in here at least 10 times, starting over Brooklyn on the left, and coming toward the Manhattan tower on the right.
