This is a photograph from the annual Na Fianna AC "Bob Heffernan" 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Johnstownbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Tuesday 21st May 2019 at 20:00. This race needs no introductions as it is is now firmly established on the Leinster road racing calendar with athletes travelling from all over the region to take part. The race has gained a glowing reputation as being one of the fastest 5KM road races in Ireland. It is one of the rare occasions around road racing circles these days where a very small club can organise a very successful large participation race. The attendance at this year's race exceeded all expectations. Today's race had another very large attendance with over 620 participants finishing the race following on from around 500 finishers last year. Popup Races were the official timing and event management partners of the race.

This race commemorates the years of work and volunteering that local man Bob Heffernan gave to Meath, Leinster, and Irish athletics from grass roots upwards and his work with the host club Na Fianna AC. Na Fianna AC are typical of many rural sporting clubs who have a large catchment area which combines rural North Kildare and South Meath taking in Enfield, Rathmoylan, Johnstownbridge and Baconstown. The race, known affectionately by club-members as simply "Bob's race" is a fitting tribute to commemorate his contribution to this sport. Indeed, not many road races are held in the same affection by runners as Bob's Race with runners returning back every year to sample the course and the wonderful atmosphere again. More rarely heard is runners reminiscing of running this race 15 or 20 years ago! What a fantastic endorsement of the race.
Indeed, we remember the days 16 years ago when this race was held in the village of Rathmoylan about 10 miles from the current venue. In those days the race was deemed a success if 75 to 100 runners made the start line. What a testimony to the hard work of Na Fianna AC today's race is! The weather was perfect for road racing - hardly any wind and warm temperatures - with bright hazy sunshine.
The race is part of the Popup Races KIA Race Series. The race is also part of the annual Meath AAI Road Race League despite the fact that the race is run completely in County Kildare. The current route for the race has stayed the same over the past few years. However previous to that the race was held in Enfield and also Rathmoylan in County Meath. The race starts on the busy Enfield to Endenderry road and this requires a big effort from stewards and marshalls. However, as always, the event was a resounding success with personal bests and great runs from many of the participants. The course is very fast and flat - it is a one loop course which is left-handed in terms of turns. Indeed some parts of the route between 2 and 4 K have been resurfaced recently adding a flat smooth track like surface to this section. The prize giving and refreshments for runners is provided in the Nightclub section of the Hamlet Court Hotel.
A while ago I saw a "sneak" preview of this book on YouTube and I instantly fell in love with it. And now IT'S MINE!!!. It's a popup book by the way.

Where we got our hard hats for the tour.... and they sold t-shirts as sovereigns.
A few snapshots I took when on a walking tour of the old Packard Motor Plant in Detroit. Shared the experience with 30 other people. Packard Motors went out of business in 1958..... and the plant went through many owners, with a very small portion of the plant being use. The plant was 3.5 million square feet of manufacturing space, and employed about 40,000 people in its heyday

It's old...really old (1982) but it has been garaged since new so it's in great condition! My daughter calls it the hot dog stand...peasant!
Wasn't able to catch this in better quality, but what we see here is the flight information screens at Schiphol airport, one of which has a memory read failure popup box. Comforting... hope they don't run this in planes ;-)
We're here for just 3 weeks but it still needs to look right. So after much painting, scrubbing, borrowing of display stands we opened on Saturday August 14th.
Next is all the publicity and invites for the preview evening. A fun and steep learning curve.

The experiments with lighting bubbles in a fishtank, just using the cameras popup flash continue.
Phase 2 was to include a bit of colour into the mix. A fairly simple addition by placing a couple of pieces of fun foam to the backdrop and to the sides of the tank. The flash hitting the backdrop projects the light back into the tank from behind.
As the flash is directed over the tank, the green, white and orange reflectors are above the tank, while a black background is directly behind.
Although I like the effect of disappearing into the black, next step is to try and light the bottom a little better, more reflectors needed ;-)
Time for phase 3 of the popup flash experiments. For ths I tried to add a little more light from underneath using even more reflectors :)
Far from perfect, the light from below is still quite weak, but considering the light is all coming from the single light source, I'm quite surprised how far I have been able to take this.
In total there are 9 reflectors in use here, including the 2 coloured ones which are just there to add the orange and green. The rest are just to relect light from different angles.
When I started, I never would have thought I could get it this far, but think I have reached as far as I can go with it now, so this could be the end of the journey. Must admit, it will be nice to get back to multiple flashes again :)
