There's a Xilinx Spartan FPGA at the bottom.

It's probably what's controlling the parameters for the analog voices, or it's the effects processor. Whatever it's doing, it has a number of lines connected to the analog voices.
Also a cirrus logic codec at the center left. I believe it's aCS42435 variant.
U1 - Coldfire MCF54415 - 250MHz 32bit microprocessor
U3 - NT5TU128M8HE - 1Gb DDR2 SDRAM (probably powered from the supercap via the switchmode PSU next to it to gain nonvolatile storage without the expensive (and small!) magnetic NVRAM used in their "Analog"-series devices.
U5 - S25FL128S - 128Mbit SPI flash memory (firmware boot)
U8 - presumably some sort of flash memory (+Drive)
U14 - AK4621 - 24-Bit 192kHz Stereo Audio CODEC
Two Si8660 (six channel optical isolation) separate the codec and analog I/O from the digital side.

The pathways here are strewn with driftwood and foliage that provide food and nesting material for the many species of birds which visit. The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Seven metres at 11:31am on Wednesday 24th May 2023 off Homathko Drive at Island View Beach on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.
The Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), takes it's name from the Latin for 'Sea Raven', and the Phalacrocoracidae family consists of forty or more species of aquatic birds known as shags and cormorants. There are three species of Cormorant native to British Columbia, and seen here is a Double Crested Cormorant, the largest of the three variants.
Island View beach is a fifty one hectare regional park located on Island View Road and Homathko Road with a beautiful stretch of coastline along the Eastern shore of the Saanich Peninsula and panoramic views of Haro Strait, James Island and Mount Baker over in Whatcom County, Washington State, USA.
It is roughly twenty kilometres from downtown Victoria, seventeen kilometers from the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal and twelve kilometres from Victoria airport. The District of Central Saanich is situated on the traditional territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ people which includes W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip) and SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout) First Nations who all signed the Saanich Indian Territorial Declaration.
The W̱SÁNEĆ People are Salt Water People who traditionally had homes throughout the San Juan Islands, east and north coasts of the Saanich Peninsula, the Gulf Islands, northeast across Georgia Strait to Boundary Bay, the Saanich Inlet and forest lands, PKOLS (Mount Douglas), W̱QENNELEȽ (Mt. Finlayson) and SELE₭TEȽ (Goldstream and it's provincial park).

Photograph taken at 10:30am on Wednesday 16th July 2025 at an altitude of Forty four in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. Here we see a female mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) resting at the water's edge.
Mallards are dabbling ducks which breed all over temperate and sub tropical Americas, Eurasia and North Africa as well as New zealand and a host of other territories. Belonging to the waterfowl family, the males or drakes are particularly beautiful with glossy green heads and bright yellow beaks.
The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

Hosted by TransLink and South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority, the Trans-Expo 2010 is an annual event aimed at bringing transit professionals together across Canada. This year the gathering is held at the Vancouver Convention Centre on November 16, 2010. Nearly 100 exhibitors set up booths at West Exhibit Hall C to showcase their products.
Quite a good number of newer and yet everyday technologies are also incorporated into the public transit system, many with sustainability features. Diesel-Electric hybrid engine, LED lighting, solar-powered devices, GPS, Wi-Fi, H.264 video codec etc. Many of these technologies are not alien to the average consumer.
So much for the new stuff, but objects that have interesting heritage values are not forgotten either. The Transit Museum Society had an on-site exhibit with a few antique transit buses on display. These are the ones that your parents or grandparents used to ride. In fact, BC has been building interurban buses over 100 years ago. In 1905, the BC Electric Railway shop in New Westminster built Car 1207 for opening of the new Steveston line by way of the Arbutus Corridor connecting Vancouver and Richmond. Many long-time residents among those communities still remember the streetcar line and some have longed for its return.

American Robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory bird of the true thrush genus and Turdidae, the wider thrush family. It is named after the European robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related. It has roughly a two year lifespan.

Photograph taken at an altitude of One metres at 21:12pm on Thursday 25th May 2023 around sunset at Patricia Bay , a body of salt water that extends East from the Saanich Inlet and forms part of the North Saanich shoreline in the District of North Saanich in British Columbia. It features a beautiful park which is at the south end of the Scoter Trail. Formerly known as Union Bay, the bay was named after Princess Patricia of Connaught, daughter of the Duke of Connaught who was Governor General in 1912.
The park has ties to transportation and the waterfront, and their pivotal role in the development of North Saanich. It is also tied to the development of the Victoria International Airport and military aviation efforts during the Second World War. In 1937, the airport was developed as one of six Royal Canadian Air Force Station training facilities on Vancouver Island.
The land was originally settled by the Tseycum First Nation (Union Bay Indian Reserve No.4) , one of four Saanich villages of Southern Vancouver Island in the area and part of the Northern Straits Coast Salish language group.
In the Sencoten langauge Tseycum is spelled Wsikem and means Land of Clay. The languages spoken include Lkwungen, Malchosen, Semiahmoo, SENĆOŦEN andT’Sou-ke and in 2023 the Chief is Tanya Jimmy, who was elected in July 2019. The Tseycum people have five reserves located at:
Bare Island 9, Goldstream 13, Pender Island 8, Saturna Island 7 and Union Bay 4.

This series is part of an ongoing research on visual ways to dissolve pornographic imagery in abstraction and absurd.
For the Scrambled series, using video footage downloaded from Internet, I exploit the artifacts, errors, blurs inherent to heavy digital compression and incomplete files.
Dozens of snapshots are generated. Here, the creative process in itself rely on selecting the right images : identifiable as pornographic, but somehow deactivated.

Photograph taken at 12:32pm on Wednesday 16th July 2025 at an altitude of Forty one in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. Here we a male Blackbird (Turdus Merula) beside his nest in the forest.
The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

"The problem with the rat race...is that even if you win, you're still just a rat."
I shot this footage at Kendal Calling. The event is an annual festival that was born from a group of music lovers who felt the fields of Cumbria could be put to better use during the summer months!
Pete The Temp combines high octane spoken word with musical comedy and audience participation. His work has been featured on BBC Radio 4 and the BBC World Service and has worked on projects with the British Council and the British Library. He's also gone to the Edinburgh and Brighton fringe festivals, in addition to The Oxford Literary Festival and the Bristol Poetry Festival.
(Footage recorded on a Canon 7D w/ prime EF 35mm f/1.4L USM lens at 25fps with original resolution of 1080p. Contrast and colour tweaks were made using Adobe Premiere and then compressed in mp4 format via the H.264 codec. Audio was recorded using the 7D's inbuilt camera microphone, which copes surprisingly well under tricky conditions.)
If you'd like a look at the beautiful natural setting in which Kendal Calling is staged, check out one of my photos from a previous year showing a herd of deer that can occasionally be spotted from the festival campsite.
This clip can be found, amongst others, in the video section of my Lucid Dreams portfolio on tjblackwell.co.uk.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Twenty one metres at 19:37pm on Tuesday 16th May 2023 off Lone Cone Road, from the front garden of a seventy year old house I was renting at 635 Campbell Street, Tofino in British Columbia in Canada.
I fell in love with Tofino, and the views afforded me from the wooden veranda each morning and evening. I would sit there for hours watching Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles dance across the sky, clouds cover the distant mountains, coffee in hand, Nikon D850 at my side. Pure bliss.

a7s vs 5Dm2! - Video details in 1080p.
I just did a quick (and unscientific) test. Notice the smooth details on the a7s, compared to the pixelated, blurry and moire areas from the 5D mark II - especially noticeable on the roofs tiles, leaves and lampposts.
So even if they "only" shoot in 1080p, there's still a world of difference. Also, thanks to the XAVC codec, you get a lot information more to work with when color grading.
What do you think? Surprised? =)
(I've added the same amount of sharpness to both images, and some quick color grading)
SETTINGS:
f/11, 1/50, ISO100, 25fps, 1080p.
Sony a7s: XAVCH-S
5Dm2: MOV

Hosted by TransLink and South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority, the Trans-Expo 2010 is an annual event aimed at bringing transit professionals together across Canada. This year the gathering is held at the Vancouver Convention Centre on November 16, 2010. Nearly 100 exhibitors set up booths at West Exhibit Hall C to showcase their mostly environmental-friendly products.
Quite a good number of newer and yet everyday technologies are also incorporated into the public transit system, many with sustainability features. Diesel-Electric hybrid engine, LED lighting, solar-powered devices, GPS, Wi-Fi, H.264 video codec etc. Many of these technologies are not alien to the average consumer.
So much for the new stuff, but objects that have interesting heritage values are not forgotten either. The Transit Museum Society had an on-site exhibit with a few antique transit buses on display. These are the ones that your parents or grandparents used to ride. In fact, BC has been building interurban buses over 100 years ago. In 1905, the BC Electric Railway shop in New Westminster built Car 1207 for opening of the new Steveston line by way of the Arbutus Corridor connecting Vancouver and Richmond. Many long-time residents among those communities still remember the streetcar line and some have longed for its return.

This series is part of an ongoing research on visual ways to dissolve pornographic imagery in abstraction and absurd.
For the Scrambled series, using video footage downloaded from Internet, I exploit the artifacts, errors, blurs inherent to heavy digital compression and incomplete files.
Dozens of snapshots are generated. Here, the creative process in itself rely on selecting the right images : identifiable as pornographic, but somehow deactivated.
Duration: 5 seconds.
This is an experiment to see how flickr HD deals with larger videos in non standard aspect ratios. (See also my non-HD experiment.)
The video uploaded was 1000 x 1000 pixels in size. The codec used was H264, at the highest quality setting available in Quicktime. No interlacing was used.
In HD mode it is presented in flickr at 800 x 800 pixels.
Previously, before the introduction of Flickr HD, the maximum size / dimensions were 500 x 500 pixels - which is still the default non-HD size. (That is to say, 500 pixels is the length of the longest side.)
So Flickr HD continues the creative tradition of preserving customised, non-standard, aspect ratios, a feature that other video hosting services (YouTube, Vimeo) do not offer.
The video is a CGI animation (created using Maxon's Cinema 4D) - an Emoticon of a smiling wink adapted from the default flickr "Buddy Icon". The face has been mapped into a transparent (and non-reflective) sphere, which spins and then slows to a stop. "Flickr blue" and "flickr pink" coloured spotlights illuminate the face, casting appropriately coloured shadows. The shadows have been slightly softened with a blue grey "fill" or "area" light. Reflected light does not normally illuminate in the world of CGI, because of the monumental computer processing that would be required to do this. Naturalistic lighting usually needs to be "hand crafted". This is one one of the many reasons why - despite being fabulously profitable - they don't make a Shrek movie every week.
(For me, where I am located) the playback of the video is very jerky, nowhere close to the 25 frames per second of the original. This is possibly because I live in the third world (the United Kingdom / Great Britain), with a stone age internet infrastructure. Unfortunately, the smoothest playback may be experienced in the smallest, thumbnail, photostream view.
Because Tim Berners-Lee is considered by some to be some sort of Communist (with his ideals of Universal Web Access), this may be the case forever...
Playing a flickr video a second time usually results in a smoother experience, because a version (not necessarily the best version) has already been downloaded. I have super fast internet to my local telephone exchange - but between there, and the secret hollowed out volcano where the flickr servers reside, there is usually some kind of bandwidth bottleneck...

My last day in Venice for my vacation I decided to try doing my first time-lapse so I grabbed my Canon T4i, my Canon 10-22 wide angle lens, and a tripod and gave it a whirl. I didn't have an intervalometer but I did have a remote shutter release and a delay timer feature on my camera. Here's how I did it all:
I set my T4i timer to 2-seconds and pressed the remote shutter release as often as I could remember to while the sun was setting. This gave me a frame every 2-4 seconds which resulted in 655 .jpeg's, which I put into Lightroom just to batch crop & export as 1920x1080 - no other adjustments were made. I then took all the sunset frames, made a 'Credit' frame, and ran them all through a program called "Time Lapse Assembler" (Link below)
Once I got the .mov generated from "Time Lapse Assembler" I wanted to add some music so I imported the file into Final Cut Pro X and added some royalty-free background music I found fitting. I extended the credit frame to run to the end of the music and exported it one final time with the Apple ProRes 422 video codec.
Voila! Hope you enjoy.

Canon already gave those looking for a full-frame DSLR plenty to think about recently, and now it's stirring up the movie-maker's pot. It's just announced a new member to its EOS digital cinema collection -- the EOS C100 -- and given us a better idea of when we can expect that C500 to land. The C100 essentially offers a new prospect for those with pockets not quite so deep. Unlike its 4K sibling, the C100 offers 1,920 x 1,080 AVCHD via its Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS sensor, has an ISO range of 320 to 20,000 and sports the EF mount system. Other features of interest include a push auto iris function, one-shot auto focus, a multi-angle 3.5-inch LCD and a locking HDMI output. The C500, meanwhile, has now been tipped for an October debut with that princely $30,000 price-tag. But, if the C100 sounds more your jive, then you can scoop one up in November for a slightly less tax-deductible $7,999. Canon also took the opportunity to offer up two new cinema lenses: the CN-E15.5-47mm T2.8 L S/SP wide-angle and the CN-E30-105mm T2.8 L S/SP telephoto.

Press Release
Canon U.S.A. ADDS TWO NEW CAMERAS TO THE CINEMA EOS SYSTEM:
THE EOS C500 4K DIGITAL CINEMA CAMERA AND THE EOS C100 DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA
Two New Camera Models Fill Out a Well-Rounded Cinema EOS Line-up with
High-End 4K and Entry-Level HD Camera Solutions
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., August 29, 2012 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, continues its commitment to the advancement of tools for visual expression and expand its contribution to cinematic culture with the introduction of the new EOS C500 4K Digital Cinema Camera* and the EOS C100 Digital Video Camera*. The C500 will take its place as the flagship camera model in Canon's Cinema EOS System while the C100 provides another option for beginning filmmakers working on a budget. The C500 is Canon's high-end professional 4K (4096 x 2160-pixel) cinema camera capable of originating uncompressed RAW output for external recording to meet the demands of premium cinematic productions and other top-quality production markets. The C100 digital video camera is a compact, affordable entry-level model delivering full 1920x1080 HD video and integrating the popular AVCHD codec for universal compatibility with laptop and desktop editing systems. The C500 will be available in both EF- and PL-mount versions; while the C100 will be offered in EF mount only and will be compatible with the more than 70 zoom and prime lenses in Canon's EF, EF-S and EF Cinema lens lineups. All products in the Canon Cinema EOS line are engineered to provide exceptional image creation capabilities for professionals in the motion picture, television, and other diverse high-resolution digital production industries.
"We developed the Cinema EOS C500 digital cinema camera to deliver the benefits of full 4K motion capture to Hollywood's premier filmmakers, while the C100 is designed for economical productions that need sophisticated HD capabilities and optical lens diversity. As we said in November of 2011, the C300 was just the beginning to our Cinema EOS system and we now offer a more complete system of imaging solutions with a range of cameras for every level of production," stated Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies and Communications Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc.
The EOS C500 4K digital cinema camera and EOS C100 digital video camera join Canon's Cinema EOS System which includes two other camera models, the EOS C300 digital cinema camera for mainstream HD production and the EOS-1D C 4K Digital SLR cinema camera for 4K and HD filmmakers favoring the SLR form factor. The Cinema EOS System also offers filmmakers optical diversity with seven EF Cinema lens models: the compact and lightweight CN-E15.5-47mm T2.8 L wide-angle cinema zoom and the CN-E30-105mm T2.8 L telephoto cinema zoom (available in EF and PL versions); the CN-E14.5-60mm T2.6 L wide-angle zoom and CN-E30-300mm T2.95-3.7 L telephoto zoom (also available in EF and PL versions); and the CN-E24mm T1.5 L, CN-E50mm T1.3 L, and CN-E85mm T1.3 L prime lenses for EF-mount cameras, in addition to the more than 60 lenses in Canon's EF and EF-S lens lines (which include macro, fisheye, telephoto, and tilt-shift models).
4K, 2K, and Full HD Image Quality
The Canon EOS C500 and C500 PL digital cinema cameras are designed to provide a versatile high-quality 4K imaging solution to high-end productions. High-quality 4K resolution imaging has become the new standard for advanced effects and is particularly important for big-budget motion pictures that include scenes compositing live-action cinematography with high-resolution computer-generated imagery. The C500 and C500 PL cameras output 4K resolution to external recorders as a 10-bit uncompressed RAW data stream, as well as offering the additional versatility of being able to output quad full-HD (3840 x 2160), 2K (2048 x 1080), full HD (1920 x 1080), and other imaging options. All of these digital image source formats fully conform to established SMPTE production standards. All 4K formats can be selected to operate from one to 60 frames per second. When shooting in 2K, the C500 and C500 PL cameras employ a 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 signal format from one to 60 frames-per-second (fps) as well. For high-speed shooting and slow motion capture the cameras can be set to a 10-bit YCrCb 4:2:2 mode, and can output 4K or 2K video up to 120 fps.
While outputting 4K or 2K video to an external recorder, the Canon EOS C500 and C500 PL digital cinema cameras simultaneously record a 50 Mbps Full HD video file in-camera to the user's choice of one or two CF cards. The 8-bit 4:2:2 in-camera recordings can be used as a proxy for offline editing of 4K projects, and they are also suitable for various projects that do not require 4K resolution. Equipped with Canon's exceptional Super 35mm 8.85-megapixel CMOS sensor, both C500 camera models are compatible with a wide range of interchangeable Canon lenses – the C500 is compatible with EF, EF-S and EF Cinema lenses for Canon SLR cameras, while the C500 PL is compatible with PL-mount EF Cinema lenses and other PL-mount lenses. Highly mobile and compact, the C500 digital cinema camera provides the same ergonomic features as the C300 model, with the exception of a fixed hand grip that incorporates a pair of 3G-SDI ports for 4K video output and another pair of video ports for monitoring purposes. Canon is working with several independent manufacturers of external video recorders to support smooth workflow options, and these recorders are expected to be available by the time the EOS C500 and C500 PL 4K digital cinema cameras ship to authorized dealers later this year.
One-Person Full HD With Automatic Functions
A cost-effective camera solution for a wide range of everyday users, the EOS C100 digital video camera is ideal for many full HD applications such as:
Low-budget television production and independent moviemaking
Museums, galleries, and film schools that utilize Full HD video
Wedding, corporate and event videography
The EOS C100 digital video camera is approximately 85% of the size of the EOS C300 model, for maximum mobility. Designed for professional operability, the C100 includes a push auto iris function, one-shot auto focus (or full manual focus and exposure control), a multi-angle 3.5-inch LCD control panel, a high-resolution electronic viewfinder (EVF), built-in ND filters, dual XLR inputs, and a locking HDMI output. These features combine with such advanced technologies as reduced rolling shutter artifacts in 60i mode, enhanced gamma modes (including Wide Dynamic Range (DR) Gamma and Canon Log Gamma), cinematic depth of field characteristics, and excellent low-light performance. The C100 records to dual SD cards contributing to the camera's reduced size and convenience.
Like its C300 sibling, the EOS C100 employs Canon's uniquely designed Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS sensor that captures individual R, G, and B channels for each full HD 1920 x 1080 frame. This high-sensitivity CMOS sensor provides creative depth of field capabilities for an excellent "bokeh" effect, and provides an ISO range of from 320 to 20,000, enabling the capture of images in low light with minimal picture noise. The Canon DIGIC DV III image processor in the C100 helps ensure high color fidelity and smooth color gradations. The camera's AVCHD codec utilizes MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression similar to the codec used in Canon's XA10 professional HD camcorder. AVCHD features a maximum recording bit rate of 24Mbps in full HD 1920 x 1080 and 4:2:0 color space for sharp, vivid images. Multiple recording modes, resolutions, and frame rates (including 24p) make the C100 creatively flexible for many production environments. The C100 also offers enhanced gamma modes (including Wide DR Gamma and Canon Log Gamma) for a peak dynamic range of 800% and the wide exposure latitude needed for creative post-production image processing, color correction, and contrast manipulation.
Designed for extensive operational versatility, the Canon EOS C100 digital video camera features a mobile core configuration that allows users to flexibly add accessory parts to the main camera body according to their production needs. A removable side-mounted rotating grip with start/stop button and miniature "joystick" menu control provides traditional SLR camera-style operation. A detachable handle unit connects to the top of the C100 and includes dual XLR connectors, a built-in stereo microphone, a bracket for an external microphone, audio-input level adjustments, and a tally light. The C100 records linear PCM two-channel audio or Dolby digital two-channel audio.
In addition to its ability to record to both SD cards simultaneously, or relay-record from one card to the other, the Canon C100 Cinema EOS camera can also output uncompressed digital HD to an external recording device via its locking HDMI connector. This HDMI output includes superimposed time code and 2:3 pull-down marker information. Additional outputs include a USB connector and stereo headphone jack.
Pricing and Availability
The Canon EOS C500 and C500 PL 4K Digital Cinema Cameras are scheduled to be available in October for an estimated list price of $30,000. The Canon EOS C100 Digital Video Camera is scheduled to be available in November 2012 for an estimated list price of $7,999.

In fact this is almost usual station locomotive. There was the international division of a labor in Communist block. And Czech built ChKD Praha of 3o-3o
(or Co-Co) layout Diesel locomotive has been chosen as standard station/shunting locomotive for Soviet Railroads and for other Communist countries. In Soviet Union it was named ChME-3 (Czech-built, station, with electric transmission). It has recommended itself from the best side and circa 7500 pieces have been built. It was best Czechs' business for all their history. And now ChME-3 are carrying almost all station works in all post-Soviet countries, also being frequentely used in suburban traffic.
But this piece is unique simulteniously being 'named' locomotive. Named locomotives are not rare all over the world. But in this special case term 'named' means that this is a kind of award or moral stimulation. This practice is still kept since 1920 when for some locomotives names of war and revolution heroes have been given. Such 'named' locomotives were credited for best crews for combat heroism and labour achievements - as a sort of award, apart of honor badges, medals, etc. It was considered as a great honor for locomotives. But nobless obligee! And locomotive staff (or 'brigade' as it is called here) had to keep such locomotive in excellent technical state. And also to fulfil combat or labour feats equal to those of a hero to give his name.
Locomotive brigades were usually 'attached' to the one and the same locomotive for years and decades. It became a real second house for a staff. Therefore locomotives were beloved and pampered by crew. Locomotive shining by fresh painting and polished brass details was the subject of pride of a staff - it belongs to railroaders 'Codecs of honor'. At the steam age such cases were often when locomotive staff was unsatisfied by standard paint given by a railroad. And a crew bought some 'special' paint from it's personal funds.
We may see from these shots that nothing changed at this branch despite the change of political system. And 'named' locomotives tradition is kept almost a century.
And this locomotive is named in honor of N.E. Kalinichenko, the full Knight of Soldier fame order, receiving during the WWII the stars of all three degreess. Apropos the Soldier fame is rare award being given only for privates or sergeants and only for combat feats carried in specially hard and dangerous conditions. From 15 millions men and women who served in Red Army during WWII only 2656 became full Knights of this order - including four women.
This award system repeates exectly the Soldier's St Georgian Cross - the highest and most valuable soldier's award of Russian Empire. Both orders - Empire and Soviet were carried on the same insignia band with orange-n-black strips. So called Georgian or Guardian colors. It's well depicted on shields on both sides of locomotive.

My back yard. Everybody in Albuquerque loves chile. For the past 2 days I have been testing my new Nikon P1000 camera out in my yard and neighborhood. I am very impressed. You have to haul a 3.5 lb camera and a hefty tripod. I used my Manfrotto 3130 tripod with a fluid head that weighs 8 lbs for telephoto shots. The fluid head facilitates video pans, but even it drifted down while shooting at far out lengths such as 3000 mm indicating a need for counter weights such as sand bags or a heavier duty tripod. You also have to use a remote control for shutter depressions and controlling the camera. I purchased a Nikon ML-L7 remote which did the job very well.
The Coolpix P1000 does not use .nef for raw files. It uses .nrw format. I could not use Adobe PS CS6 to read these files. I started saving files in both raw and jpg formats instead of raw exclusively as I do on my Nikon DLSR camera. I had to download Nikon Capture NX-D which came with Nikon Picture Control and Nikon Transfer 2 which I have not tested yet. I Downloaded and installed a Nikon NRW codec. I could not see NRW files in Photoshop CS6, Adobe Bridge CS6 or View NX V2. But I could see them in Capture NX-D, Windows photos, Win Explorer, Win movie Maker, Photo Gallery and Win Photo Viewer.
It pays to purchase a 77 mm clear filter cover because the possibility of scratching the huge lens looms very high.
The Jpg image size is stored in a 12:9 ratio. My other Nikon cameras are sized in a12:8 ratio. Also many functions are accessed by menu rather than buttons common on Nikon DLSR’s.
I have not tested the bird or moon modes on the P1000 yet, but they look promising on paper.
All in all I am very pleased with the Nikon P1000 and look forward to having a lot of fun with it, especially for birding.
This series is part of an ongoing research on visual ways to dissolve pornographic imagery in abstraction and absurd.
For the Scrambled series, using video footage downloaded from Internet, I exploit the artifacts, errors, blurs inherent to heavy digital compression and incomplete files.
Dozens of snapshots are generated. Here, the creative process in itself rely on selecting the right images : identifiable as pornographic, but somehow deactivated.
