another for someone in particular....this is for my husband, Adam, as it was his birthday yesterday. It's a little 'organic' for his tastes, but I will give it a good sand at bisque
Just for Halloween...
These two Jack-o-Lanterns were designed and carved by my daughter. The one with the big teeth is supposed to be some kind of carnivorous fish thing.
I photographed them in the dark with my camera controls set to full manual. Then I modified them a little in post using ACDSee 5 Pro exclusively. Some of the modifications included adding a water reflection effect to emphasize the sense that they are water creatures. Then, since I have fallen in love with ACDSee's Orton Effect, I added that as well, but increased the transparency to reduce the contrast and retain more detail. Overall, I think it gave the image a bit of a painterly feel without completely divorcing it from the photograph that it really is.
Happy Halloween!

Another one for ebay. Got this in a lot with some lenses and another RTL1000. I decided to sell this one on because it works, and keep the other broken as a source of screws and such for my other cameras.
The Exakta RTL1000 was basically an all new, typical late 1960s SLR. Except that it has an Exakta bayonet mount and slow shutter speeds all the way up to 8 seconds in length. The only really unorthodox thing about this camera is that it was made to be backwards compatible with the old automatic pressure activated diaphragm lenses of the earlier Exakta cameras. To that end there is a little prong that screws into the camera body and lets the arm on the lenses trip the shutter. The "normal" lenses for the RTL1000 operated in basically the same way as M42 lenses, a plunger in the camera body pushes a pin on the lens that stops down the lens automatically when the shutter fires. Unfortunately only a few lenses were released with this updated mechanism, so the backwards compatibility with the older Exakta lenses is very useful for RTL1000 owners.
In fact for the person who just wants to use their Exakta lenses, but doesn't want to bother with the quirks of an Exakta, the RTL is about as "normal" as it gets. It has a stationary shutter dial, right hand shutter release and right hand lever wind (with thankfully, a short throw), the take up spool is captive and the film counter resets itself. It's almost boring!
I've always wanted one of these, but I've got too many cameras already and don't need to collect any new systems.

Westminster Abbey is perhaps the most significant church in English History, site of the coronation of monarchs since it was founded by Edward the Confessor, and burial place of the majority of them, along with many other historical figures of note. It is first and foremost a superlative work of medieval architecture, from its soaring 13th-14th century nave, transepts and choir (all in a curiously French inspired version of Decorated Gothic) to the masterpiece of English Perpendicular, the incredibly lacy fan-vaulted Henry VII's chapel at the east end.
The Abbey is also a treasure house of ecclesiastical art, most of it monumental sculpture on the numerous tombs and effigies of almost every date ranging from the entire medieval period through to the 20th century; a somewhat cluttered interior, crammed full of interest, there is simply nothing else quite like it, no other church contains so many monuments.
The Abbey's monastic ranges partially survive, most notably the cloisters and superb chapter house; a short summary of the Abbey's riches is simply impossible. The monastery itself was shut down during the Dissolution, after which the Abbey briefly became a cathedral until its diocesan rank was revoked merely a decade later. Today it is designated a 'Royal Peculiar' owing to its unique status.
The Abbey is a textbook in stone of British history, and thus a hugely popular tourist attraction. It currently has more limited opening hours in the post-Covid recovery period and entry is not cheap, but happily after decades of a strict prohibition against photographers the rules have now been relaxed at last and visitors are now welcome to fully enjoy this marvellous building with their cameras!

KABUL, 03 November 2019 –
For the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, the United Nations and the Afghan Journalist Safety Committee (AJSC) convened a Media Summit in Kabul to spotlight the impact of worsening violence against reporters in Afghanistan.
Some one hundred journalists, along with government officials and members of the international community, participated in the event.
“Speaking truth to power, of any type, is a fundamental function in democratic societies, and exercising freedom of expression rights in a country at conflict entails enormous risk,” said UNAMA’s Human Rights Chief, Fiona Frazer, in opening remarks.
“Journalists, along with civil society actors and human rights defenders, are unequivocally classified as civilians in the context of armed conflict and must be protected as civilians,” Frazer added.
Media freedom and freedom of expression are recognized human rights. Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights protects freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas, orally or in written form, or through any media.
“Media reporting provides early warning and allows societies to make informed choices; your work is criticial because information is critical,” stressed Frazer. “Media plays a major role in protecting and promoting human rights.”
A new study from the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) underscores the risks that journalists face globally, showing that almost 90 per cent of those found responsible for the deaths of more than 1,100 of them, between 2006 and 2018, have not been convicted.
The report, Intensified Attacks, New Defences, notes that killings of journalists have risen by some 18 per cent in the past five years compared to the previous five-year period. Journalists are often murdered for their reporting on politics, crime and corruption, and this is reflected in the study.
In his statement for the day, UN Secretary-General António Guterres noted the rise in the scale and number of attacks on journalists and media workers, as well as incidents that make their work much harder, including threats of prosecution, arrest, imprisonment, denial of journalistic access and failures to investigate and prosecute crimes against them.
“When journalists are targeted, societies as a whole pay a price,” said Guterres. “Without journalists able to do their jobs in safety, we face the prospect of a world of confusion and disinformation.”
This year, UNESCO launched the #KeepTruthAlive social media campaign, which draws attention to the dangers faced by journalists close to their homes, highlighting the fact that 93 per cent of those killed work locally, and featuring an interactive map that provides a vivid demonstration of the scale and breadth of the dangers faced by journalists worldwide.
Also speaking in opening remarks at the daylong summit were Sidiqullah Tawhidi, AJSC’s Advocacy Manager; Patricia McPhillips, UNESCO’s Country Director; and Fazil Sancharaki, Deputy Minister of Information and Culture. The summit included roundtable discussions along with simultaneous UN-backed activities in Herat, Balkh, Nangarhar, Kandahar, Kunduz, Ghazni and Khost.
The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2 November as the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists in General Assembly Resolution A/RES/68/163. The resolution urged member states to implement measures countering the present culture of impunity. The date was chosen in commemoration of the assassination of two French journalists in Mali on 2 November 2013.
International media watchdogs have listed Afghanistan as one of the most dangerous countries in the world to be a journalist. The situation remains dire especially for female reporters and journalists working in remote regions of the country.

Highly trained master riggers moved two locomotives each weighing more than 363,000 pounds through the heavy lift and specialty cargo berth at JAXPORT’s Blount Island Marine Terminal, home of one of the nation’s highest-capacity weight bearing docks.
The 68-foot long locomotives arrived at JAXPORT by CSX rail from Illinois Portus stevedores loaded the locomotives onto the charter vessel Eemslift Dafne using the ship’s onboard cranes. The move was arranged by Houston-based freight forwarder Logistics International, Inc. and the cargo is en route to Guinea, West Africa.
JAXPORT terminals are served by three U.S. interstates (I-10, I-95 and I-75) and 36 daily trains via three railroads (CSX, Norfolk Southern, and Florida East Coast Railway). JAXPORT also has the highest and widest cargo clearance available for port access by rail on CSX’s national system.
