……Prior to this being built, Stone or Wood were the traditional bridge making materials - this is Cast Iron, and cast just up the road at Coalbrookdale (English Heritage). Had to go over towards Ironbridge this afternoon so couldn’t miss the opportunity to get a shot of this iconic bridge for my #115 photo of the day, especially as the sun was shining! Taken on my phone in Apple RAW and edited in Lightroom. Not many weeks ago the river Severn here would have been way over my head!! Alan:-)

Another restoration at Kirkby Stephen Easter Rally 2023 I'd not seen before was E720DSA, a great looking Scania 142M 6x2 with its perfectly sheeted tri-axle flatbed trailer.
Hard to believe this lorry was first registered 35years ago- I must be older than I feel! 😉

REALLY loving being able to shoot DSOs with my 8" Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain. The Celestron Starsense Autoguider is a gamechanger in enabling me to shoot with the 8". GoTo and autoguiding is spot on. Utilizing the BlurXterminator tool in PixInsight during processing just polishes it off. Look at those dust lanes!

_____________________________________________
O wrażeniach z podróży✈️ na pokładzie Ryanair'a bądź jakiejkolwiek spółce-córce pisać nie będę, podsumuję jedynie, że z roku na rok ceny rosną a jakość jest poniżej wszelkiej krytyki. Wiem co można powiedzieć, nie chcesz nie leć, zwracam jednak uwagę, że w podobnej cenie można podróżować z LOTem, promocji na ich stronie jest obecnie całkiem sporo. Innymi jakościowo naprawdę lepszymi alternatywami są nisko-kosztowe EasyJet czy choćby Eurowings, na pokładzie których nie czujesz się jak towar, a bording nie zaczyna się przez przyziemieniem samolotu z poprzedniego rejsu, jak to miałem okazje doświadczyć w Walencji.
Zajmę się w tym miejscu sylwetką dostarczonych wczesną jesienią do Polski maszyn pomalowanych w charakterystyczne barwy Buzz z pszczołą na ogonie🐝🐝🐝. W stosunku do poprzednich wersji 737 Gamechanger ma o 8 miejsc siedzących więcej oraz zupełnie inny rozkład kabiny. Wpływa na to dodatkowa para drzwi w tylnej części kabiny, maszyna ma ich aż 5 par. Zużycie paliwa jest o 16% niższa niż wersji -800, co czyni go niezwykle opłacalnymi na dalszych trasach przewoźnika.
Obecnie we flocie znajduje się już 10 maszyn, choć nie wszystkie będą miały takie same barwy ( 5 stycznia do Dublina przyleciał -8-200 o znakach SP-RZI, który pierwotnie oznaczony był jako EI-HEO nosząc klasyczne malowanie Ryanair, podobnie jest z maszyną już latającą SP-RZK ( ex. EI-HEP)-> www.planespotters.net/photo/1237549/sp-rzk-buzz-boeing-73...

I loved my Nikon D300s cameras but felt I was missing out on the low light/high ISO performance of more modern sensors. My D300s bodies delivered OK results at ISO 1600 but ISO 3200 images were noisy with terribly mottled colors; basically unusable by most any standard. Last fall I finally gave in and upgraded to a (used) Nikon D500. I'm glad I did.
Recently I did an impromptu, unscientific test in the warmth of my family room. shooting our hearth area handheld at a variety of ISO settings, starting at ISO 3200 and working my way up to ISO 25,600. I shot in RAW and processed each capture in camera, setting contrast and balance etc until I got a pleasing image and saved as JPEG. I used my favorite walk around lens for this camera, the Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM zoom.
Take a look and marvel as I did at the benefits of "new" technology; I sure did. ISO 25,600 is looking even softer and contrast is building while shadow detail is being lost but it still looks pretty useful for some subjects.

🐝Buzz by Ryanair - 🇵🇱Warsaw Modlin Airport, after debording of flight FR5438 from Valencia VLC
Wieczorem słów kilka, o zastosowanych w maszynach nowej generacji, 🚀silnikach LEAP-X. Obecnie stanowią one podstawę napędu zarówno Boeinga 737MAX, Airbusa A320Neo oraz Comac C919. Produkowany w trzech wersjach handlowych LEAP 1A, 1B i 1C oferuje spalanie o 15-16% mniejsze niż CFM56-7BE. Cechą charakterystyczną jest średnica wentylatora, która waha się od 1,74m w B737 do 2 metrów w A320Neo.
Na pierwszym planie jeden z nich czyli wersja 1B w samolocie linii 🐝BUZZbyRyanair (SP-RZE) na lotnisku w Modlinie po locie z Walencji.

Gamechangers Tour
March 12, 2011
The Palladium Downstairs
Worcester, MA
"All the World's a Stage" wrote Shakespeare. "All the world's a screen" may have wrote some film director during the 20th century. But if I had to pick a version to speak of today, I would choose "All the World's a Game".
It's pretty impressive to see the place the word “game” took in our discourse. Is the Sony a9 a gamechanger, asks DxO ? Some website give us 5 tips to improve our photography game. Of course, the consecration of the word, it’s invasion of the collective unconscious comes probably from the successful “Game Of Thrones” of HBO. The way characters use the concept of “Game” to speak about the over-corrupted political world should also warns us.
I may be wrong on the exact origin of the expression, but I am pretty sure it is related to video games. Please note that I am not saying that there was no game before in a lot of social realm (real new human mechanisms are quite rare). What I am saying is that the thing became recently quite explicit and … inhibited (décomplexé, we would say in French).
If you ever played a little bit seriously, you know that a video game is two things. Firstly, it’s a set of possibilities determined by a set of rules/algorithms. Most of the time, you can discover these “rules of the inner world” by playing or even by reading the manual. Secondly, and more importantly, a game is a set of hidden regularities that haven’t necessary been planned by developers, but that you can exploit to hack, in a certain way, the in-game rules. These things are not directly available in-game, so you find them outside, on forums, on website and so on.*
One thing is undeniable: once you discover this metagame aspect, your in-game efficiency increase … A LOT. It’s also undeniable that if you had pleasure just playing without caring of the outside-game rules, this will ruin your “naive” experience. In some way, you’ll lose you innocence. Every serious gamer confess for time to time how nostalgic he is of his first games, when he was a noob: he was so ineffective, everything was so hard, but it was so fun !
What is particularly disturbing with the expansion of the “Game” word outside the realm of video games – in politics, professional life, love, music, art, photography – is that it carries with it the same fundamental idea: there is a gap between the explicit and the implicit rules. There’s the rules we pretend to follow, but we know that they are part of an illusion. And there’s the rules that we pretend not to follow, but we know that it’s the only thing that matters.
Let’s be frank: if All the world’s a Game, there must be winners (serious gamers) and losers (noobs). The real gamers-winners, are the ones who master the hidden rules while being effective in pretending not doing so. In other words, to win, you have to learn how to cheat. By the way, cheating is not really cheating anymore: it’s just the real understanding of how to play.
Why do I write this on a photography social website? Because Flickr, Instagram, and any other photography platform can be perfectly described as games. Exactly like video games, there’s the official in-game rules: we are here to share images, we can get exposure in proportion of our talent, and we can give and receive constructive critique in order to improve our technique together in a happy world. But there’s also the hidden exploits: we can choose the time we post to get a lot of favs, we can give meaningless comments with the chance to get some attention back, we can randomly follow people without even watching one of their picture hoping that they’ll follow back, … **
This cynical topic came to my mind when I was shooting the Milky Way by the Etang de la Gruère last week. I was quite disorganized : all I had – apart my tripod and my camera – was my smartphone with less than 50% of battery. It was my only source of light, and I realized quite soon that I would not find my way back in the darkness. It was cold, I forgot to take a jacket: in brief, it was quite uncomfortable.
During the 17 seconds of every shot, I had time to think about what I was doing: why do I go out to take nightscapes? Why do I play fair? Couldn’t I use always the same shots (that I could take once for all) and create some fake foreground in Photoshop? After all, isn’t that what most people do on Instagram? The competition is so fierce that “real” nightshots have no chance! Cheating is just the way of playing properly: am I that naive to think that a simple nightshot without the silhouette of a naked-young-woman-holding-a-flashlight-as-if-she-was-painting-the milyway-that-finally-turns-out-to-be-a-swarm-of-butterflies-eaten-by-a-wolf-howling-in-a-blood-moon could still interest someone in 2017 ??! What a noob I am! I felt so stupid with my wet shoes and my torn up pants ! Photography is over, it’s all about artwork now !
Kidding apart, it’s not always easy to keep faith in photography when it comes so close to a game. After all, no one really came for this in the first place. It’s something that come insidiously. It’s simply related to the old cognitive mechanisms of rewarding in our brain. We like to receiving attention – even meaningless – from other people. Nothing’s more normal. The question is why do we stay ? Of course, there’s a part of addiction and laziness, but there’s something more. If the game is not fun when you know too well how it really goes, it’s neither fun to play alone … I don’t think I would still find motivation practicing alone. In some way, I really want to test my picture on public opinion. I need emulation. That’s what keeps me wanting to improve. However, what ruins the experience is that you realize that the only way to “be serious” now is to practice things you don’t approve and that would take crazy amount of time …
Maybe I have the wrong conception of “being serious”, it’s maybe time to find some other sort of motivation. If you really red that far – thank you for that - I would love to know how you cope with “the Game” …
*(Pokemon on Game Boy gave a good example in the 90’ : everyone – below 30 years old – remember the good old days wandering around and training their favorite creatures, sometimes up to level 100 ! The Pokemon was so powerful then, it killed everything in one single shot. What most people didn’t knew is that it was possible to take control on the way creatures received new skills at every level (which seemed random according to in-game rules) : rather than having a big fat jack-of-all-trade, you could have a specialized beast that had huge lacks in some skills, but was top rated on others. Of course, because these skills were well chosen, the guys who applied this strategy were unbeatable.)
**(The award-game is an excellent illustration of this : There’s no in-game awards on Flickr, but gamers figured out a way to create a game-in-the-game from outside. Everybody knows that the small texts that accompany awards are meaningless, but everyone pretend it is sincere. All in all, it’s just a way to get more exposure and more followers. That’s how it goes, everybody knows …).
