Location: Queensland.
Description: Image 487 Harriett Brims Collection. Harriett Brims was born Harriet Elliot in 1864, at either Yandilla or Toowoomba, Queensland. Her parents were Walter Elliott, and her mother was Ann Jane Elliot (nee Faulks). They were early pioneers of the district and owned a station in the Barcoo district. Harriet attended the Blackall School. In November 1881 Harriet married Donald Gray Brims in Blackall, Queensland. Brims was an engineer from Caithness, Scotland, who worked as a contractor and coach builder. They had five children over a period of eight years (1882-1890). Initially the couple moved to Townsville and then travelled north to Cardwell, where they were said to be 'the first white settlers in the Herbert River district' (The Telegraph 1939). By 1894 they moved to Ingham and it is there that Harriett Brims began her photographic career. It is unclear what inspired her to take up photography, nor is it known where she trained. Harriett Brims set up her own photographic studio, the Britannia Studio, which operated for six years and appeared in the listings of the Pugh's Trade Directory in 1902. By c.1903 she had moved her business to Mareeba, where she operated a studio for ten years. She also worked at 'visiting studios' in other Queensland towns, including Chillagoe during 1904-1905, Irvinebank as well as Watsonville, both located near Herberton in 1907.She worked as a professional photographer for 16 years, becoming quite skilled and well known for her work. Brims was highly regarded for the time and care she put into producing her photographs: 'many interesting accounts of the labour involved [in] producing photographic plates, [and] devising schemes of processing, etc [sic] give ample evidence of her skill' (The Telegraph 1938). Her husband, who was also a keen operator, made the dry-plate cameras she used out of maple wood, the carrying cases out of cow hide and the camera shutters out of sheet brass that he salvaged from discarded opium tins. Brims documented the reality of everyday life in these Queensland towns, capturing early forms of transportation (airplanes and bullock teams), the copper smelters of Chillagoe, local events such as the aftermath of a cyclone, the activities of Melanesian labourers (who both worked and lived in the North Queensland cane fields), social gatherings, local landmarks, as well as some portraiture..... By 1914 the family moved to Brisbane, at which stage she gave up her work as a professional photographer, instead focusing her time on photographing her family, friends and her local neighbourhood. Harriett Brims died in Brisbane on 25 October 1939, aged 75.' --[Information taken from The Australian Women's Register, (Anne Maxwell (with Morfia Grondas and Lucy Van) retrieved on 22 March 2018 from www.womenaustralia.info/biogs/AWE6006b.htm].

In the handle of the Big Dipper you have the stars Alkaid, Mizar & Alcor, and Alioth. The scoop of the Big Dipper is just out of frame towards the top left. These labeled stars are between 78 - 104 light years (ly) away and they reside in our galaxy, the Milky Way. There are a few other amazing galaxies in this constellation as well. The Whirlpool Galaxy at about 23,000,000 ly, and the Pinwheel Galaxy at about 21,000,000 ly are shown here. I haven't shot the Sunflower Galaxy yet, but it is also hiding in the top-right corner at about 29,300,000 ly. Each of the 3 photos that make up this composite image are a stack of dozens of shots taken one after another (using a tracking mount).

Amtrak P32-8BWH 511 pulls the autoracks off Amtrak Auto Train #53, immediately after its arrival into Sanford, Florida. The classic locomotive is one of the oldest active passenger engines on Amtrak’s roster, although this one is specifically assigned to make the Auto Train operation as efficient as possible every day. As soon as the train pulls in, the 511 will come in and split the autorack section into 6 loading tracks so passengers can retrieve their vehicles as quickly as possible. Once that’s done, the engine gets a bit of a break, before once again working to assemble the outbound Auto Train that afternoon.

Looking to see what it is like at 0.95. Some post processing (obviously) but looking to see how out-of-focus highlights and sharpness are handled.

Manchester Airport (IATA: MAN, ICAO: EGCC) is an international airport in Ringway, Manchester, England, 7.5 nautical miles (13.9 km; 8.6 mi) south west of Manchester city centre. In 2016, it was the third busiest airport in the United Kingdom in terms of passenger numbers. The airport comprises three terminals, a goods terminal and is the only British airport other than London's Heathrow Airport to operate two runways over 3,280 yd (2,999 m) in length. Manchester Airport covers an area of 560 hectares (1,400 acres) and has flights to 199 destinations, placing the airport 13th globally for total destinations served.
Officially opened on 25 June 1938, it was initially known as Ringway Airport. In the Second World War, as RAF Ringway, it was a base for the Royal Air Force. The airport is owned and managed by the Manchester Airports Group (MAG), a holding company owned by the Australian finance house IFM Investors and the ten metropolitan borough councils of Greater Manchester, with Manchester City Council owning the largest stake.
Ringway, after which the airport was named, is a village with a few buildings and church at the southern edge of the airport. The airport handled 25.6 million passengers in 2016, a record total, and has capacity for up to 50 million passengers annually. This potential figure is limited by the airport's restriction to 61 aircraft movements per hour. Future developments include the £800 million Manchester Airport City logistics, manufacturing, office and hotel space next to the airport and transport improvements such as the SEMMMS relief road and a High Speed 2 station.
