More action from Camp de Mar.
The handsome telephone exchange building. Built in the days when there would be human operators making connexions, machines have long since replaced them.

This is a re-do that some out there may have seen before.
I have been putting a lot of time into how I process and hopefully this will help the overall standard of my shots.

Back in the day, before miniature golf courses had to have 50' waterfalls and giant dragons with lazers shooting out of their eyes, there was Putt-Putt. We had a mini-golf in the town where I grew up, but the Putt-Putt was a few more miles away, and we always wanted to go there over the local one. Why? Dunno... the name "Putt-Putt" had a certain cachet to it, it somehow seemed you were playing the real thing. (Even though miniature golf was around long before Putt-Putt was.) That Putt-Putt is now long gone, buried under a Walgreen's or Rite-Aid or some other terribly uninteresting beige drug store, so I was pleased to find this one next to my motel in Richmond, IN. On the other hand, I was sad to see a "FOR SALE" sign on the property. (for $295,000) I hope it'll remain a Putt-Putt, but it doesn't look like it will. Some things should just never go away.
Putt-Putt now calls themselves "Fun Centers", and according to their corporate web site, centers "may include go-karts, bumper boats, batting cages, laser tag, game rooms and even climbing walls".
I thought the mini-golf was fun enough. If I'm in Richmond again this summer, I'm gonna see if this Putt-Putt is open. If so, you can catch me on the links. :-)

Something different, yet again.
And the 5D arrives tomorrow!!! Just in time for a trip with twelve middle schoolers to the Grand Canyon next week.
C&NW GP15 4413 is ready to couple onto the rest of the consist, which has several ballast cars in it. The Farley Candy siding is at the left.
This pic works so well with the way I am right now...
I'm still trying to put the pieces of who I am together.

I first thought that I wouldn't post my supermoon shot, as it cannot fully compete with others that were made with much longer focal lenght lenses (this here was 280mm on full frame).
But when I saw a lot of really crappy moon-shots in todays Explore, I was confident enough to post it anyway. At least it puts the photos before and after this in the context of the supermoon ;-)
I used an old Leitz Telyt 280mm lens from 1963, at f/8. This is my longest lens for the Canon full-frame body and delivers still a decent image quality!
And here a very interesting comparison:
I took this picture of the blood-moon last year: flic.kr/p/yUDiCy
Exactly the same equipment and same aperture settings (6D full-frame and 280mm @ f/8). For the blood-moon I needed ISO 3200 and 1 second exposure, whereas for this supermoon I had ISO 50 and 1/200 s. Summed up, this makes a brightness factor of 15000 (!!!) if I didn't make a mistake in calculation. Pretty extreme!
Excuse these early shots with the Argus C3, but the subject matter is neat. Burlington 4960 on a runby in December 1965 on a trip to Zearing IL.
I put my gym bag into my car this morning, walked around to open my door and saw that my front tyre was flat as the proverbial. Disaster!
So I called the tyre place (Kwik Fit) and the advice was: don't try to drive on it. Then I called the AA, and a very nice man eventually found me and my car. He inflated the tyre and said : don't drive faster than 50 mph. (Ha ha - in Edinburgh?). And that I should take the car to the tyre place as soon as I could.
The tyre place was all booked up until 11, but they shuffled cars around and found a place to park my car.
I walked to John Lewes and into the cafe to console myself with coffee and a scone. I was tempted to spend money so that I might feel better about spending money on a tyre. (Potential disaster!)
I took this photo from the cafe - you can see all the way to Leith - the chevrons on the funnel of the refugee's ship are visible on the left - by the water . (The water being the Firth of Forth.)
As I looked at the refugee's ship, I thought - this could be a whole lot worse.
And in fact, it was a whole lot better. The tyre place fixed my tyre and didn't charge me anything.
I should add that I am a long term customer of Kwik Fit, and think they are wonderful.
