Another awsome Sport Compact event at WSID.Loads of cars made the trek from all over Aus to compete.Almost capacity entries on the track & a great selection of hot cars on show.
The presentation standard of Sport Compact drag cars has really amazed me so far this year, with a lot of the top runner track cars looking like prestine show cars with candy pearl paint jobs,tastefull air brushing and graffix and tuff drag spec rims all round. these guys have definatly stepped it up a notch!
Took a whole lot of photo's throughout the day, but unfortunatly forgot my memory backup so was limited to 4G worth of space...Ahhhrr.
Anyway, enjoy and please let me know what you think.

This is a early 1960's Simplex Sportsman. It's in the back of a early 50's Chevy P/U. Not a bad combo. Check out the engine, it looks like a lawn mower engine!
The next beta test version of our compact nesting kit is here! This time, the bass and floor tom include the first appearance of our “seam lips.” These lips securely and accurately connect the two halves of the floor tom and bass drum with more stability than previous prototypes. 7x10, 9x14, 15x18, 4½x14; plied maple; semi-gloss wax.

Today's shot is a studio photo of some smoke.
This was taken on the Fuji compact on manual settings, including manual focus. The smoke is lit with an off camera speedlite fired from a Yongnuo YN-622C radio trigger.
The photo is then processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Because the city of Richmond in British Columbia is located on a river delta, the soil must be compacted before a large structure can be built. The common method is to bring in a big pile of dirt and let it lie there for a period of time. This pile of dirt is compacting the soil in preparation for a condominium complex.

Film from a fujica compact S camera shot at 400 ISO pulled one stop to achieve the 200 max of the camera.
lovely, nice to keep in the hand, bright/fast lens for low light, compact for any pocket ...
LCD display do not have lighting :(
The 3.6V Rechargeable CR123 not work with my camera :(
Battery cover is separate from the body :(
So I wrote a program that could read the red, green, and blue values making up each pixel in an image. Now by reading a line of an image, I could get the spectrum my sensor sees with the red, green, and blue pixels. But there's some noise so ideally we'd like to use multiple lines so hot pixels and dead pixels aren't a problem.
I made it adjust each line so the values are about the same. That way it's still weighting the dimmer parts of the image significantly.
The other problem is the lines might not be exactly vertical -- I was just hand-holding the camera. If the lines were slightly tilted, it'd blur out small peaks and whatnot. So I wrote something that would figure out if it should shift the line relative to the line above/below it -- Indeed, it found my picture was skewed somewhat, but the offsets make a nice line, so I think it's working.
This is the result. The peaks on the graph correspond to to the spectrum I found on wikipedia, so I picked the four major peaks and their wavelengths in nanometers, and I plotted them against the column number in my picture, and found they made an almost perfect line (R squared of .9999). So now I can interpolate and extrapolate the wavelengths of every column in my image. Now I have a real X axis :-)
A few things I noticed
The red line drops down to zero in the blue and green peaks. I double checked the original image and it was the same. I don't know what the deal is with that. I don't think the other spectrums i took pictures of did that. . .
The blue pixels seem to have a very extreme filter from 530-580nm.
Green crosses above blue at a certain wavelength. In theory, that wavelength should be the same regardless of the light source. Ditto for red crossing above green.
