Still life studies with the Hasselblad X2D-100C - most images are taken tethered using Phocus (3.7), exported as 16-bit TIFF files and focus stacked using HeliconFocus Pro and typically this takes 40-50 220 MB images, which become 500MC each when 16-bit TIFF -- so VAST files, but quickly done using a Mac Studio Ultra. Then deleted to save space. B&W versions are rendered using Silver Efex Pro.
just gotta say it, "check that EXIF, baby!" (if only it were mine!)
*heavy sigh* in case there's any question in anyone's mind... or you've been living under a rock... I want a Canon 40D!
Now, it's been a long-time coming... over a year ago I was itching for the 30D... I was an SLR user (with film) back in the day, before digital was even a question. I've done weddings, I've done portrait sessions, I've rocked out better shots than the official photog when I was simply second-shooter... All this mostly to explain away what many have questioned: why the seemingly sudden "leap" to a semi-prof camera... when there are your beginner lever Rebels out there at half the price?
Believe you me, I've often tried to convince myself to "settle"... but I know what I need, what I'm looking for, what has been frustrating me (to no end) on a regular basis for over a year now, etc.
*another big sigh*
So.
Today I drove my dad into the airport. Hard enough, knowing he's heading off to a country & people I love dearly... but I made a stop at BestBuy to nab cds for giving out more of the ChristmasMix (side note: I made the best Christmas CD/Mix ever in 2004, no doubt!) and made the mistake of looking to see if they actually had the 40D in stock. Not only did they have it... they had one on display!
Now, it was totally tethered... but feeling it my hands... WOW!
The world stopped. In fact, I'm pretty sure long-lost friends could've tapped me on the shoulder and I wouldn't have noticed, or even flinched. I powered 'er up, but there was no CF card... *brain spins* Ah ha! I have a spare I carry in my purse. Popped in the miniscule card (16mb), had to clear it from random old shots, and was good to go!
Next thing you know I'm fighting my short-arm-length, the tether, and the serious giddy heart-busting out of my own chest!
This was actually the very first shot I took. (I'd like to say it is SOOC, but I honestly did some blemish-fixing, as this week has been atrocious!) In the rush, excitement, and surety that some worker was soon going to question my antics... I never checked picture size/recording settings. *shrug* apparently it was set for smaller-sized simple jpg. I'm not gonna complain.
Oh, and in case you are still interested/reading...
about 20 minutes later, driving down the Gorge, thinking about it all... I actually started crying. Yes, that's how bad I want it. (and it's not in a '6yr old tantrum' sort of way... but a 'I know it's supposed to be' sort of thing...)
A tethered test of a Morpheus prototype lander was conducted today at NASA Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility in Florida. The test was performed to verify the lander’s recently installed autonomous landing and hazard avoidance technology (ALHAT) sensors and integration systems. During the test, the Morpheus lander was lifted by a crane to 20 feet for an engine firing of about 74 seconds and then lowered to the ground. With the successful completion of the test, the Morpheus project team will begin preparing for the first free flight test with ALHAT. Photo credit: NASA/Chris Chamberland
arly model original "Speedway Pacemarker" tether car powered by a Hornet .60 ignition engine. The Pacemaker was designed by Joe Olender of Indianapolis, IN. Joe wanted to introduce a semi-custom car for the racer who wanted to be competitive without having to build a light weight car from scratch. Joe commissioned The Standard Machine Works out of Indy to produce the car in 1947. To achieve light weight, the car featured a magnesium pan, a laminated Bakelite body and Bakelite rear wheel bearing covers. The Pacemaker came fully equipped with tail skid, tether brackets, coil with Bakelite mount, condenser, switch, fuel tank, bridle and battery strap. The two most unique features of the Pacemaker other than its light weight construction, are the "air-ram" special fuel tank and the extra long crankshaft for the Hornet and McCoy engines to accommodate the special flywheel and pinion gear. There were two versions of the Pacemaker, the early models have a brass bowed grille, later model featured a slotted sheet aluminum grille. There were 150 of the Speedway Pacemaker produced which does not make the car extremely rare but this particular car is a complete unmolested correct survivor. It appears the car has been run. Nothing has been clean up. Completely wired. Tires are still pliable. The hand painted numbers and graphics are starting to show ware. Overall length is 15 7/8", wheelbase is 10 3/8", track is 5 1/4". Pretty darn nice car for being around for 63 years.

I am amazed sometimes at the clarity and sharpness I can get from my Nikon D850 and an older-style lens with screw-driven autofocus!

A lot of Fitbit users fret about losing their Fitbit, me included. My solution was to re-purpose the strap from another gadget and loop the other end through a belt loop.
Or to a yak.

A dairy cow is wating for dinner. Anyone can use this image freely if they link back to www.WATTAgNet.com.
The tether line is attached first so the balloon can’t escape; then the balloon is inflated with helium gas.
A helium-filled balloon is used to lift a still-photo camera to an altitude of approximately 300 feet. The balloon is tethered, and an operator on the ground walks the balloon across shallow seagrass beds or uses a slow-moving boat in deeper water to photograph seagrass beds and bay bottom habitats. The technique is not limited to seagrass beds and is useful in any habitat in estuaries, lakes or on land where fine-scale imagery is needed. Because the balloon is tethered, however, it is not useful in forested areas!

I forgot I even had this video, I made it 2 years ago, on September 22, 2008 in Saratoga Springs, UT. Its a Time Lapse video of photos from a Canon 40D of the clouds moving. This was my first attempt at timelapse with a delayed shutter on a timer connected to a PC.
