Now that soccer season is over for a bit I finally got out my camera for some non sports photos. I was looking at other pics on the web and got a little inspiration for this so set things up pretty quick and got to shooting.
I had the SB-600 setup facing me fired by the D90 in commander mode and a LP-120 setup at about 45 degrees camera right. The LP-120 was lower which cast the cool shadow in the back. I then post processed it to give it a gritty kind of feel which I like for this shot.
The best part was trying to hold the remote in such a way that it didn't really show up. I finally settled on holding it under my thumb on the fore grip.
Various bits and bytes of discarded timelapse segments i had laying about so i decided to put them together and experiment with blend modes, masks, and light segments.
A super bit (in my opinion) of old stone architecture (below) was demolished to make way for this pointy bit to the hotel now occupying the old Education Department buildings.

Bit of a frosty morning this morning, but the light was nice so we dashed out to get some pictures. It was very cold indeed and I've not been well, so Hazel and I huddled round a cup of tea to warm up when we came in!
A bit of background on this photograph for those unfamiliar with Paraty (most readers, I assume). Paraty was built slightly under the sea level, and when there is a strong tide becomes a tropical Venice. When the sea retreats, there are plenty of water pool lefts to go around and make the most of your camera!

Un poco de información sobre esta foto para los que no conocen Paraty, que me imagino que deben ser la mayoría). Paraty fue construida ligeramente por debajo del nivel del mar y cuando hay una marea fuerte se convierte en una especie de Venecia tropical. Cuando la marea baja, quedan numerosos charcos de agua por todas partes para aprovechar la cámara al máximo.

Sharing a Little Bit of Albany History
By Joe Licavoli
On February 2nd, students from West Albany High School finally got to meet and know a little bit about their next-door neighbors from NETL’s Albany site. As part of continuing outreach efforts by both NETL and other community leaders, 28 advanced placement (AP) chemistry students attended a two-and-a-half hour set of talks at the Albany Regional Museum. These talks focused on Albany’s specialty metals history on the production of zirconium and titanium. In planning the event, NETL’s Joseph Licavoli worked with Sylvia Harvey (Teacher at West Albany High), Howard Poppleton (Retired—US Bureau of Mines), Mark Sidall (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Dennis Emerson (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Barry Valder (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Judy Weissert (Director, Albany Regional Museum) and Mae Yih (Retired State Senator). The talks included an introduction to materials science, the history of specialty metals processing in Albany, and current/future uses of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, and tantalum.
After the talks, students and speakers held casual conversations about careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields and about specific research topics that had been discussed.
Mae Yih graciously offered to provide lunch for the students as well. Students were very engaged in the talks and grateful for the opportunity to discuss science with people that have helped make Albany a key player in metallurgy over the years. As part of her “Albany Renaissance” project, Mae Yih is sponsoring an essay contest for Albany area schools with this year’s topic focusing on the metal titanium and its uses. This essay contest and the high school visit are a part of ongoing efforts by members of the Albany community to help advance STEM education and bring more attention to the strong influence and positive effects that metallurgical processing facilities have had in shaping Albany’s history

------------------------------------
Early wells were drilled using a spring pole apparatus - men would use their feet to "kick down" the drill bit and chip away at the rock (see: www.petroleumhistory.org/OilHistory/images/Cable/Sp_pole.jpg). Three feet of hole per day could be achieved using this method. As the oil industry developed, wells were drilled using cable tool rigs and later, rotary drill rigs. Most petroleum wells are drilled using rotary drill rigs - seen here is a drilling bit for this type of rig. This is a tri-cone bit. During drilling, the three cones rotate and the projections abrade and remove rock fragments. In addition to being used for drilling petroleum wells, tri-cone bits have also been used at some mines to drill holes. The holes are then packed with explosives and detonated (e.g., this was done in the iron mining districts of Minnesota).

We arrived a bit early for our Christmas Afternoon Tea reservation at the Windsor Arms Hotel and meandered around the lobby a bit and waited in the upstairs waiting section.

A bit hard to see in this photo, but Jupiter (top centre, about 1/4 of way down from top of photo) and Saturn (less bright, below and to the left) are both visible in the sky this month. They rise in the east, to the left out my front windows. I can see several moons lined up around Jupiter with my binoculars. Can't see Saturns rings, maybe I need a tripod, or CTY's telescope!
Haven't seen the comet - but Dave's post inspired me to post this .
