This is the info label from the back of the 114Wh battery for my G-Tech cordless electric mower. The battery is cylindrical and about 30cm tall, much too big to photograph for inclusion in this task so I have just provided the boring info label which just fits the measurements.
When fully charged it provides enough power for the mower to cut a remarkable amount of grass. The actual area it will cut depends on the state of the grass - it’s length, whether short or long and particularly as well how damp or dry it is. There are different settings on the cutter for how close cropped you want to grass to be cut. I usually do one cut allowing a longer trim then a second to get a closer crop.
The measurements of the label are approximately 3 inches by one and a bit so comply with the requirements of the group task.

This will be a four part series I shot at the Wildones Workshop last weekend! So excited that the masks I worked on for hours and hours finally get some spot light! Check back here tomorrow for the next photo in the series!!
Our little Pudsey, is now up with the angels. He will be hugely missed, and has left a bigger hole in all of our lives. He was known by a lot of people, and popular with human and canines alike. In the short amount of time we knew him, from when he was 8 weeks old and a little ball of fluff, he had our hearts. He was such a bundle of fun, and boundless energy. He was very loving, and protective of us all. To him, we were his pack I guess. Little things can spark tears in us all, like the quietness of the house, to the Gtech tv advert with the vacuums which he always used to bark at, as it has a Border Collie in it too! We will miss him so very much. Be at peace in heaven, our Puds xxxx
Aerial capture of The Brentford Community Stadium, currently known as the Gtech Community Stadium for sponsorship reasons. It is a football stadium in Brentford, West London that is the home of Premier League football club Brentford.
At a capacity of 17,250, Gtech Community Stadium is the joint home of Brentford FC and London Irish. The stadium forms the centrepiece of a mixed-use masterplan, offering residential accommodation and regenerative opportunities.

During the Photoplus Expo in October, there were a couple photo walks and events. I was in the Dumbo area again cause of it and tried some experimentation with the camera, using the long exposure and panorama features in Photoshop.
Also, during that time I did a timelapse which was about 90 frames: youtu.be/PWIixw1xXoU
This is my side of our home office (best viewed - large).... Almost exactly five years ago I took another photo of what my desk looked like and what kinds of technology I was using at home. Well it's been five years and I just retired most of what I was using... now I'm an Apple convert and my home setup is much simpler (it's amazing the cabling that was pulled out, and how quiet things are... will be interesting to see if the power bill drops).
Click Here to see a close up version of what's on my desk.
Basically I have two computers, a desktop, laptop and a third machine functioning as a storage server. They are networked together by an HP ProCurve 8 port gigabit ethernet switch, with a Linksys WRT54GS running Tomato and functioning as a dedicated firewall and router and an Airport Extreme serving up wireless internet access.
This is just a fantastic setup for doing just about any photographic related computer task one could think of... It's wonderful to edit with this hardware and setup. Aside from the Mac Pro which is lighting fast, the real treat is seeing images on the amazingly accurate and sharp 30" NEC display, this monitor is quite a bit above and beyond the Apple Cinema Display (as well as the Dell and HP offerings).
On Switching to Mac: I've been a Microsoft user since MS-DOS 3.3 and have worked professionally as a server engineer and systems designer for Microsoft Servers for approx. 15 years, and Microsoft has come a long way... some of their newest offerings are darn impressive. But the reality is for me, at home... I want something that is simple, powerful and is best geared for photography. Additionally I wanted something that was simpler and doesn't result in me having to rebuild the system once a year or so because of something silly happening.
I've been half switched for a bit more than three months and so far it's been fantastic... there is a bit of a learning curve and somethings are kind of annoying, but overall it's been wonderful and the most enjoyable computing experience of my life. Besides, if I really need to run Windows I have Windows 7 Ultimate running in side a VMWare virtual machine.

Next year I plan to add a few more things to the mix... including
Data Expansion - Adding a OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 quad bay external drive array with four 3TB Hard Drives. Will be used for data backup.
Second Monitor - Will be adding either a 22" or 24" secondary NEC monitor, which will make layout and album design work a bit nicer.
Software: I want to point out that 100% of the software that is run on these systems has been paid for and is all legal like. This wasn't always the case but I do like knowing that it's all legit ... I think it's highly hypocritical for photographers or other content creators to complain about someone stealing their images or using images without their permission if they use pirated or not properly licensed software.

Very random snap, mainly because there was an old Routemaster bus in the scene, at the busy intersection to the north end of Kew Bridge.
The Metropolian Police officers were in attendance to keep order as Brentford FC were playing Southampton at the nearby Gtech Community Stadium. 'The Bees' went on to win 3-1.
I'm in the process of switching from using Microsoft Windows and I'm headed to Apple land... We have replaced our over four year old HP nc8320 laptop, and will be replacing our desktop in the coming months (waiting for Apple to update the Mac Pro).
I've used Microsoft product since MS-DOS 3.3, and have been a career IT person for over fifteen years (mostly as a server systems engineer designing mostly Microsoft systems), and while I will continue to keep up on MSFT stuff and continue to use them for the technology side of my work life, at home... I'm pretty much finished with Microsoft. While OS-X has some issues, it's a far nicer system to use (all the power of UNIX with the best UI I've ever seen) especially if you want to do photo or video editing.

Macro Monday - New Technology - 4TB G-Tech Hard Drive. One of the hard drives used to store all my music, films and photo's. The drive light on the front flashes when it's reading or writing to disk illuminating the inside. Light painted the G on the front with a torch during the second exposure, whilst holing a bit of blue glass over the the light to stop the hight lights blowing out too much.
So the adaptor finally came yesterday, allowing me to hook up my 17'' Apple Studio Display to my unibody MacBook Pro running Lion. Its working like a charm. Pressing the brightness button on the display it even automatically loads up system preferences
