This lens suited a day like this, bright and clear. The minimum f stop was 9.5 and stayed stopped down at what ever f stop you used so it could be difficult to see the scene when not bright.

Title: Eel spearing, on the mill pond, Boston

Creator/Contributor:
Date issued:
Date created: 1851 (approximate)
Physical description: 1 print : wood engraving ; 5 x 9 1/4 in.
Genre: Wood engravings; Periodical illustrations; Clippings
Subjects: Cities & towns; Lakes & ponds; Spear fishing
Notes: Title and date from item, from additional material accompanying item, or from information provided by the Boston Public Library.; Image caption: Eel catching. During the cold weather, when the so-called Back Bay, or Mill Pond, in the rear of the city and bordering on the Mill Dam, is frozen over, such scenes as our artist has sketched for us are daily represented. Men who make fishing their business and those who resort thither for pleasure, may be seen screened by their wind tents, industriously pursuing their operations. Smelting and eeling is made a source of considerable profit in this way. Some of the smartest fishermen will spear twelve or fifteen dozen eels in a day, and catch as many smelts. It is a sight worth a long walk to see, and some of our housed citizens, who scarcely stir abroad in the cold weather, must muffle up and go down to the foot of Beacon street and witness the scene.

Commissioned to work with SALT Research collections, artist Refik Anadol employed machine learning algorithms to search and sort relations among 1,700,000 documents. Interactions of the multidimensional data found in the archives are, in turn, translated into an immersive media installation. Archive Dreaming, which is presented as part of The Uses of Art: Final Exhibition with the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union, is user-driven; however, when idle, the installation "dreams" of unexpected correlations among documents. The resulting high-dimensional data and interactions are translated into an architectural immersive space.
Shortly after receiving the commission, Anadol was a resident artist for Google's Artists and Machine Intelligence Program where he closely collaborated with Mike Tyka and explored cutting-edge developments in the field of machine intelligence in an environment that brings together artists and engineers. Developed during this residency, his intervention Archive Dreaming transforms the gallery space on floor -1 at SALT Galata into an all-encompassing environment that intertwines history with the contemporary, and challenges immutable concepts of the archive, while destabilizing archive-related questions with machine learning algorithms.
In this project, a temporary immersive architectural space is created as a canvas with light and data applied as materials. This radical effort to deconstruct the framework of an illusory space will transgress the normal boundaries of the viewing experience of a library and the conventional flat cinema projection screen, into a three dimensional kinetic and architectonic space of an archive visualized with machine learning algorithms. By training a neural network with images of 1,700,000 documents at SALT Research the main idea is to create an immersive installation with architectural intelligence to reframe memory, history and culture in museum perception for 21st century through the lens of machine intelligence.
SALT is grateful to Google's Artists and Machine Intelligence program, and Doğuş Technology, ŠKODA, Volkswagen Doğuş Finansman for supporting Archive Dreaming.

I moved my study into the attic eventually. 40 degrees in the summer, and 0 in the winter. Loved that place.
