The Social Learning Theory suggests that people are likely to imitate behaviors that result in a positive outcome. This is the same for negative behavior that results in no outcome.

When you are the last motorcycle on a trip, you raise the accelerator (though the speedometer screams 80kmph). The raising of the accelarator, in the short run, seems to be an impulse. In the long run, however, it is just a way of averaging the gang's speed. To keep the speed around a certain level. Over multiple iterations, the mean speed goes easily from 60kmph to 80. After a while, to 90 kmph. and after a long enough timeline, sufficient timespan and incessant, instinctive coordination shall make 3 motorcycles hum at a steady 100 kmph.
Its not speeding blindly. Your helmets should be slipped tight, palms clearly over the handle, and the thumping fuel tank between the thighs, the neglected hamstrings shall take the pain till the night's stop. All in all, biking is not about surging adrenaline. There are strategies, formations and all that has to do with overtaking, looking at the rear view mirror once every few seconds. At times, it scares the hell out of you when you see in the rear view mirror - a big SUV surging ahead. It is, in a way, dividing the joy of riding into distinguishable components. Little glimpses of the six branches of philosophy could be felt. Riding is indeed a science somewhere in the middle. It begins as philosophy and ends as art, bestowing the rider with some virtue.
In any case, the flag stands tall. Four wheels move the body; two wheels move the soul.
And after a while, when the motorcycle between the legs thumps at 115 kmph, Pink Floyd's 'Learning to Fly' strikes the senses suddenly. And instead of singing 'Paisa paisa karti hai', you sing:
Across the roads I see our shadows fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye

Blended Learning Symposium Breakfast
Emily Welch, Shari McCurdy and Carrie Levin enjoy a coffee at Mary Janes, location for the Blended Learning Symposium Breakfast.
I was reading online after having seen some wonderful tiltshift photography about how to get the best tile shift mechanically, and not via photoshop.
Not having a tiltshift lens or a lensbaby, I grabbed an old SMC PENTAX-A 1:2 50MM that I had put through its paces for many years on my K1000. The K`1000 is now a museum piece on the shelf in my office, so the 50mm would be a good donor device.
My first attempts were just "free lensing", hold the non-connected lens in front of my 7D. I had trouble focusing as I just couldn't get close enough without worrying about hitting the mirro with the edge of the lens.
So I got out my magnifying glass and my small screwdrivers and stripped the back end off the 50mm. Oh my. I took off the apeture setting gear and basically anything else that had a screw holding it in.
Now the above image is a "free lensing" shot with that device. I've found the focusing spot and believe I now have a crude tilt shift.
Tomorrow I hit the workshop and build some kind of attachment device (I've seen plans for several online) that keeps the back plane of the lens at 44mm from the focal plane in the camera. This should result in a pure tiltshift!
More to come as I experiment with this device!

On Sunday, November 27, 2016 two Venturer Companies came out for an introduction to Judo at the Burnaby Judo Club. Great fun was had, bodies were thrown, and on Monday, some tired, happy teenagers will wake up feeling a bit like a truck hit them :)
