IKEA have a new range of toys and stuffs for dogs and cats so obviously, we picked up some new items for Latte. Thank goodness he found it appealing.
After a bout of wrestling with the stuffed bee, he was distracted by a bug so I aligned the bee and tried to catch him in bokeh but he suddenly came over to reclaim his toy and I got this great shot. :D
Katydid eye taken at something like 7.5:1 and cropped. Pretty neat detail on the pseudopupil (the black spot isn't a pupil and isn't a pigment, some cells show up black because they are aligned with my camera lens so you see into the eye instead of seeing the pigmented wall of the lens).
I was super stoked to find a katydid. I can't remember ever seeing one before.
Next time , I will take : my time, a tripod, and try a 1600 ISO shot ! ;-o)
Thanks for watching 100% once again
Thanks for sharing, feel free to comment.
Arigato gozaimasu !
Merci beaucoup !
Going wild, going crazy
I managed to string together a few minutes without rain, more or less aligned the cameras, and shot some comparative video of four thermal cameras.
This comparison is flawed for all sorts of reasons I'll explain as I go along, but it does give some rough idea of the comparative video.
Top left is a Argus 2 fireman's camera, which I think is based on a Raytheon core. Resolution is 320 x 240 and I believe the frame rate is 15Hz.
Top right is a MSA Evolution 4000 fireman's camera, again 320 x 240 but this time 30Hz and I think it's a VOX core. There is some kind of issue with drift, which is why the pictures flicker.
Bottom left is an eVet camera with a 320 x 240 BST core at 15Hz. Surprisingly, it actually has pretty much the best performance of the 320 x 240 cameras, although it looks like there was a DC problem with the video link to the Quad. I suspect it wasn't seeing a proper 50Ω load but I wasn't able to hook up an outboard load to test this. The key to the eVet is that it has a big f/0.8 lens - great for sensitivity, but poor for depth of focus. I'm not sure I got the focus right here.
The Therm-App camera, bottom right, was set up slightly differently. The basic imager is 384 x 288 and I have the 8.7Hz version. It was connected to a Nexus 10 tablet, whose HDMI video output was converted to NTSC, which was then connected to the Quad. Because the tablet outputs 16:9 video that isn't compensated for by the HDMI-to-analogue converter, the picture is squished. I used a 13mm f/1 lens. The standards conversion was generally quite unkind to the Therm-App, but it doesn't surprise me that it came out like that.
All of the cameras were set to their defaults. Only the Therm-App had a noticeable automatic gain control action, with the picture levels altering significantly when the hot engine exhaust manifold is in view.
The video outputs of the cameras were fed into a quad processor and then recorded on a laptop via an EasyCap USB dongle. The de-interlace artefacts are quite obvious on moving items, causing raggedy edges.
I found the results interesting. The side by side comparison certainly does show just how terrible an 8.7Hz frame rate looks, even in comparison to 15Hz.
What does anyone else think? (Apart from the fact that I shouldn't try becoming a film director anytime soon).
I initially paired this shirt and dress because I liked how the patterns played together. Then, I realized that the shirt’s open back would align with the dress’ upper back cutout. I love it when little details like that work out.

New Year's Eve – Album Description – Mainz, Germany – 2017DEC31:
My New Year's Eve layover in Mainz!
We took off early (scheduled 1645/actual 1638) and arrived in Frankfurt, Germany, early (scheduled 0115/actual 0044), for our 2720 layover, 20 minutes longer than our scheduled 27 hours.
At the crew hotel I got a river view room! Unusual! I ran a hot bath and hopped in the tub; suddenly hotel guests opened my door and came into my room! In the unexpected excitement of getting a rare river view, I forgot to lock and latch my door!
After my nap I eagerly headed up the hill past the "Sun" where Joe and I ate Christmas Eve dinner with 7 other crewmembers a week ago to the Old Minster Church for their New Year's Eve 5:00 p.m. service; I learned of it from their pastor, my friend Hendrik Maskus. Heartwarming! Flute teacher Katrin Schild played beautiful duets, accompanied by Makoto Mikawa. She said to bring my flute for us to play duets this coming year!
Meandering back to the crew hotel I paused to admire some lovely Christmas lights and decorations along the way.
My room faced the hotel elevators, just a mere few feet away: after loud fireworks, waves of late-night revelers spilled out of those elevators sharing volumes of celebratory experiences.
Several hours later our full flight took off, and we crossed the southern tip of Greenland, arriving 33 minutes early, at 1352; at home I greeted Joe, whom I saw last year (48 hours prior)!
When Joe got up the next morning at 7 here it was 7⁰F (-14⁰C).
Hope you enjoy this 9.7% of 1121 photos I took here this day!
