President Mote has proposed yet another alignment (blue) in addition to his earlier Stadium Drive proposal (orange).
Before I started work on the ribs, I ran a line from the stem to the stern. Pulled tight, this gives me a line down the center to help align the ribs.
We took a (very long and tiring) walk from Haywards Heath to Ardingly, with a detour to the Ouse Valley viaduct along the way. Most of the walk was through woods and there were bluebells everywhere!
Taken on Saturday the 3rd May 2008 at 1:19pm.
Camera: Praktica Super TL.
Film: Fujicolor Superia Reala 100. Process CN-16 C-41.
Lens: Auto-Paragon 1:2.8 f=28mm.
Aperture: f=2.8.
Shutter speed: 1/125.
Image taken from the photo CD that accompanied my prints, and put through my usual Photoshop process to enhance contrast, sharpness, alignment, etc.
This is a slight mod to the rig used by Starlight-Xpress. In this case the Camera is attached to a 2" nosepiece (or any M48 fitting) and placed in the Star diagonal. Placing the camera vertical allows the diagonal adjustment screw to take out all the slack so the camera can be rotated smoothly without any lateral movement. The laser pointer position is adjusted to maximise the parallax angle to the reflected return beam; this comes back past the laser and onto a wall (or other flat surface). The brightest spot should be, if the ccd has AR glass, the return beam from the sensor cover glass.
Rotate the camera in the diagonal and the reflected beam will describe a circle on the wall. Now adjust the camera collimation screws to remove any movement; I turned the camera till the one set of the camera adjustment screws was in line with the laser and furthest away from the wall. Adjustment depended on whether the laser spot needed to go up or down. If the spot was too high then the back of the camera needs to be raised slightly and vice versa if too low.
I used a weak laser beam of less than 5 milliWatt @ 532nm (green) to eliminate any chance of burning out any pixels on the sensor.
Note that this is the routine I used to adjust the sensor on my ASI2600MC and it should work on any camera but... you follow this description at your own risk.
Here is an old-school tire shop in the city of Hollister, population 41,678. Photographically, I like the look of an old tire shop, but I never get a good picture. This one's good enough.
The fact that they handle "alignment" is a really weak jumping point (Covid brain fog) to discuss Hollister's place in the world of geology, because there are some fairly significant things going on here.
This town is one of the best places in the world to observe something called "aseismic creep." That does not refer to somebody who stalks but not in an earthshaking way. It refers to smoother-than-normal sliding movement along a transform fault, otherwise known as a strike-slip fault. You know, like the San Andreas I talked about several weeks ago. In Hollister's case, the San Andreas is about five miles west of town, but there's a branching fault called the Calaveras that runs right through here. And while most of the San Andreas moves in fits and starts, stuttering along in big earthquakes that release a lot of built-up stress all at once, the Calaveras releases that stress constantly, in a slow, creeping, constant movement. In short, the fault never gets stuck in a way that winds up jumping 20 feet in 45 seconds. It slides more gently along a few millimeters per year. It flows.
This means the Calaveras Fault, in its current condition, won't experience some big break that rattles the entire state with a 7.0 on the Richter Scale. But it also means that there are streets in town that are slowly but constantly moving past each other. Streets wind up offset. Curbs and sidewalks break. Houses get twisted, if they're built in the wrong spot.
I don't have a picture of any of this, because we didn't want to devote the time into looking for it. If I ever come back here, I'll hunt that down.
Sometimes the most playful structures offer the most precise geometry. Shot on Day 20 of my 100 Photos in 100 Days challenge, this image captures a row of monkey bars locked in symmetrical alignment—each ring framing the next in an optical tunnel of anticipation. It’s about focus, rhythm, and the memory of movement. You can almost feel the swing between each grip.
my dear friend, tammy blah-blah was sitting at my brother in law's shop recently and she KNOWS of my LOVE, LOVE, LOVE for vintage cars so she sends me a quick shot of this '52 beauty sitting, waiting for me to come along and make her mine... i so desperately wanted to try harder than i did to convince the husband that we NEEDED this car, but reasoning got the better of me and i quenched my want by photographing her instead.
i truly do want to own a vintage car one day, hopefully two. one similar to this, with the curves and the lines, very classy and classic and then maybe a muscle car.... an early '60's mustang perhaps? a little style and a LOT of attitude!
if i had purchased her, her name would have been sophia...

A conjunction/alignment of Jupiter, Venus and the crescent moon during the early evening. Jupiter (top), Venus (between moon and Jupiter), and the crescent-phased moon are in almost perfect alignment! This was viewed in San Jose, CA by The Point Church, overlooking the city.

Invitation #2 for Total Alignment free workshop on Dirty Footprints Studio. Balance
I really enjoyed the process of this one! I started with random shapes and colors and just tried to completely relax into listening to what the painting was calling for. Soon, shapes flowed together into a woman. Circles turned into planets and a sun.
I put a small mark on the rim of the element group showing where it separated from the threads in relation to Top Dead Center (TDC).
