WEEK 11 – Cordova Super Target Closing, Set V
If you stand in the right spot, you can see clear across the entire store from within the produce department, which of course is pretty dang awesome :P I always love seeing that blue neon, even if it *is* from really far away, haha! (Granted I can see it much better in this photo than I’d be able to in person, especially without my glasses, but I digress XD )
Some more of Target’s produce cases can be seen in this pic, and you can also get a bit of an indication as to how and with what they were stocked compared to regular supermarkets. (If that happens to be something that interests any of you guys, that is :P )
I also like the way the front end looks here!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Part remembering Tanzania, part dealing with differences.
So what if it is the same post as the goat below.
Compared to the all Southern home based class 33s, 73s and 71s to be found on shed in 1979, sixteen years later a whole smorgasboard of power could be found stabled here as the indigenous power was gradually withdrawn in favour of larger type 5s.
A staff Open Day was thrown by Mainline Freight, one of the three shadow freight companies prior to privatisation, at the depot on 28 October 1995 and examples of all their power was on display - many newly furnished in Mainline Aircraft Blue colours. The Crompton had been repainted in BR blue before preservation 2 years later on the West Somerset Railway.
After all the activities had finished and everyone had gone home, a line up features four class 60s (099/039/040/001) stabled for the weekend, 58 021, 31 541, 33 048, 37 219 and 73 114.
The 60s were on paper allocated to Stewarts Lane for maintenance but spent most of their actual downtime stabled here.
I am transplanting a large bush that was unearthed a few weeks ago when a tree fell in our yard. The deep hole I'm digging has finally reached red Georgia clay, and I was trying to show how orange my hand was by comparing it to Jimmy's orange color. This set of three photos were the result.

These are additional shots for Day 13
--------------------------------------------------------
Day Thirteen is done, whew, that was hard. Well today is a little more of a fashion shoot but still considering the concept of happiness shown by the beautiful smile, vibrant colors and great emotions. Since I started the 365, seems people started liking my shots (well me too) and seems most of the models out there are starting to notice me and asks me to do TFCD (Take for CD or a xdeal meaning I shoot them for free and give them the pictures in return) with them. Today as promised, I did a shoot with Genevieve Khoo, a model from Looque who have done a cover shoot for CLEO magazine some time ago. I was happy to have the opportunity as I don't usually get the chance to do shoots for models for their portfolios as they haven't noticed my work.
Strobist set up: Clam Shell Setup with 430 EXII with softbox on top at 1/16 with a 1/4 CTO and then a 430 EX below with a shoot through umbrella at 1/16 24mm zoom and then a 430EX at 1/64 (bare flash) at 105mm zoom. Controlled by ST-E2 at high speed sync. 70mm F2.8 1/200s and ISO 200
Airabelle has been the poster adjustment comparison of all the digital camera's that I've owned. by view 3,1 MP to today, imagine for a moment 360 degree nose to tail hooves to ears, it's bath weekend. 1989 to 2017, and yes this is no. 2 copy the nice part of this story, Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta park, real grass, breeding grounds for many new visitors, and their Special shapes Creations. 85' X 120 ' Feet.
During the late 1930s:
Ever since matinee idol Trent Osborne had seen Vivien Leigh when she came to Hollywood to audition for the role of Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone with the Wind," he was obsessed. Trent was convinced that there had never been a more beautiful woman --nor could there ever be.
"I will have her. She just doesn't know it yet," he determined.
Trent's strong will, however, had met its match. Though a fling with Trent was irrestible to her, she made clear to him in no uncertain terms:
"When I return to England, I'm going to be with Larry forever. You mustn't take any of this between us very seriously."
Though he simply brushed off such declarations as if he accepted that their affair was simply a short-term matter, in his heart he felt more and more tormented by the idea of losing her.
"I must find a way to keep her. Money, Hollywood connections, a life of luxury--certainly this Larry can't compete with all of these things I can offer," he thought. Yet, he felt an increasing dread of her rejecting him for someone who--he told himself--could only be a two-bit English fop, someone so...unknown in Hollywood compared to the massively popular Trent Osborne.
As Vivien prepared to leave Trent's home to attend a premiere, he begged her to stay.
"Trent, don't be silly. After all. I'm not going to the moon. I'll be back, soon enough" she reassured him in a dispassionate tone.
"Darling," he said as he took her hand, "when you see this, think of me."
With that, he put a diamond bracelet on her wrist.
"I won't forget you, Trent," she reassured him.
The time for forgetting him would come later, when she returned to England and her love, Laurence Olivier.
The above image compares images taken with a 250 RCOS telescope using a SBIG STL 11000 vs ED 81S Vixen using a SBIG ST-8300.
It was a fun exercise to compare the results of two scopes and cameras looking at the same target. I have not spent any real time processing the images as I was really interested on how they compared with each other. Both images have been cropped, and were taken on the same night on the same mount. The image on the left was taken with a RCOS 250 mm f9 using a SBIG STL-11000 camera. The image on the right was taken with a Vixen ED81S f 7.7 refractor, using an Asto-Tech field flattener, using a SBIG ST-8300 camera. The Vixen was riding piggyback on top of the RCOS. The images have not been rescaled, just cropped. The conditions that night were very soft, not good for high resolution stuff.

Here is another striking fly (Diptera) that looks for all the world like a bee - compare my [Previous] two photos. This fly is a Syrphid Fly (Syrphidae, Diptera), possibly a Narcissus Bulb Fly (Merodon equestris) or kin in the same Eristalini tribe that includes many more bee-mimic flies in the genus Eristalis. It's furry like a bee and even has flattened leg segments like a bee. This one is less colorful than the fly in my [Previous] photo, and it may be that this one is female with eyes that are separated in front whereas the other one is male with eyes that meet in front - but compare this photo at BugGuide. I guess all we can say is that the flies are highly variable. It's my understanding that this fly has been introduced from Europe and is now widespread in North America. HFDF!

another shot of lovely potted plants. which one is better?!
(btw, I didn't get the center of soft filter...)
Comparing the production (left) and prototype (right) versions of the BrickArms FG-42. One bit of feedback Will got on the proto was that the end needed a bit more detail; I'd say he didn't disappoint!

Compare between the Kodachrome 25 film scans with the film mounted in and unmounted from its slide frame (with Anti-Newton glasses).
Unmounted will give you way better scan quality both in contrast as well as in sharpness !!

Taken from the St. James centre bridge on Leith Street newly repainted
Dennis Trident / Plaxton President number 644 (SK52 OHC) is seen working on
a Service 34 between Ocean Terminal and the leafy Riccarton campus of Heriot
Watt University.
Compared with the 1960's Leith Street is completely transformed today though
the traditional architecture of the Georgian Picardy Place in the distance
remains the same. Leith Street can be a somewhat dark corridor but around
mid-day in summer months it takes on a brighter and more lightsome appeal.
Lothian has 101 Dennis Tridents in service, fleet numbers 599 to 700 (except
for 666) and the programme to repaint them all from their original harlequin
livery to Weinrot und Weiss continues with around 40 still to be transformed
into Edinburgh's traditional bus colours of over 100 years (as of mid May
2014).

CPKC local job J88 departs Thief River Falls with a single unit on its way to its first stop just down the line in Plummer. It was a relief to have the wildfire smoke diminish and give way to clearer skies and better air quality compared to the previous day.
323 221 and 323 205 are at Lichfield City station, here they make a good comparison with their respective liveries, the faux Regional Railways of green and grey and the West Midlands Railway of gold and off white. Of course the 323's spent a few years in the green and black of London Midland.
323221 is the trailing unit of 2026 the 11.09 Lichfield Trent Valley to Bromsgrove 323 205 is leading 2P17 the 09.03 Bromsgrove to Lichfield Trent Valley.

Absolutely not a scientific test, just a comparison for fun.
These two pictures are shot the same day, but with approximately two hours in between. Roughly same shutterspeed and apperture: 500/250 - f16/f11.
The Retina picture is shot on Lomography Potsdam 100, the Contessa picture on Kosmo Foto Mono 100. Both developed in Rodinal 1+50 at their respektive developing times indexed in the Massive Dev Chart app.
The Retina IIa is a pre-war model (1939-1941) and the Contessa LK came on the marked over twenty years later (1963-1965).
I guess it all comes down to lens coating?
What do you think?
Compare this to my immediate prior post - same train, same spot, but look how different it feels just changing the camera angle?!
Normally after work in the morning I stop for breakfast (err dinner!) at a local cafe or diner. But I wasn't hungry this particular morning so figured I'd see if I could grab a few photos in the fresh snow. I figured I'd hop off the highway seeing if the rails on P&W's East Providence Secondary had been polished yet. Seeing that the flangeways were still full of snow I knew they hadn't made it down to Pawtucket yet so I back tracked up to Valley Falls yard where I found local PR-3 switching across High Street.
Here is the conventional view making for a nice urban scene here in my home state of RI.
GP38-2 was built new for the railroad in November 1980 and has spent her entire 39 years working in and out if this little yard.

In gray: mold G with LEGO logo.
In black: mold F with 2xABCD on the studs.
This is a later mold.
In milky white: bricks combining the mold G outer surface and the mold F inner surface. This mold was made by combining elements from the previous two molds.
Hasselblad with Zeiss Distagon 40mm f4, compared to Lomo LCA-120 (38mm f4.5)
I love my Hassy and wide 40mm and I will never give it up, but boy it's a heavy package. I just wanted to see how different the little plastic LCA-120 was in comparison.
It's hard to know what settings the LCA uses, it's an automatic point and shoot with distance scale focussing. The Hassy was set to sunny f16, 1/125 in both shots. In hindsight I should have used 1/250 as the bright white reflections were extreme. The LCA has some background blur in the dragon shot so I am not entirely sure what f stop it was using. I would have thought it would pick f16, but maybe the LCA prioritises a fast shutter and opened up the aperture a little.
I am surprised how sharp the little 5 element glass lens is on the Lomo, it's pretty darn close to the Distagon. I am also surprised there appears no difference in distortion between the two lenses, I guess if I shot a brick wall it might be a different story. The one major difference is the pretty massive vignette the Lomo gets, it's even more noticeable with colour film. Anyway I'm glad I did this test, the Lomo is the perfect bike riding 120 camera.
Both rolls developed in the same tank, rodinal stand, I admit there is a bit of uneven development here with the bright sky. I used a tripod for both shots, the parallax on the Lomo viewfinder messed me up a little for the close dragon shot.
