Chaian, Upper East Region, Ghana. The larger square quarters are for the head man, the double rounds with flat roofs for wives, the round thatched for animals and the small round for grain. This is taken in February during harmatan when the winds are blowing down from the Sahara Desert.
We arrived at the research compound and found SGT Krutch deceased--we were a few hours too late. All his tattoos were gone to waste. Shame.
We started taking fire as we approached the gate so we held back to rethink our ingress plan.
This place would challenge us in ways we aren't prepared for.
This Biomax Research compound was thought to have the serum that could reverse the effect of zombification, or provide an anti-body. Unfortunately, despite having these cures, someone from the C.D.C. was blocking the distribution, and Biomax was locked down like Fort Knox.

"A compound eye is a visual organ found in arthropods such as insects and crustaceans. It may consist of thousands of ommatidia, which are tiny independent photoreception units that consist of a cornea, lens, and photoreceptor cells which distinguish brightness and color. The image perceived by this arthropod eye is a combination of inputs from the numerous ommatidia, which are oriented to point in slightly different directions. Compared with single-aperture eyes, compound eyes have poor image resolution; however, they possess a very large view angle and the ability to detect fast movement and, in some cases, the polarization of light." -- Wikipedia

Fa unes setmanes vaig comprar online un objectiu per a ultra gran format (més gran de 8x10 polzades), escollint un Schneider Kreuznach Symmar Convertible f5.6 360/620mm montat en un obturador Compound.
Tenia especial interès en aquest objectiu per la possibilitat de tenir dues focals en un sol objectiu. En efecte, desmontant la part posterior de la lent i montant-la en lloc de la anterior, es passa d'un objectiu de 360mm a un de 620mm. I a més pot cobrir formats ULF, com el 10x12 o fins i tot el 14x17! Aquest objectiu en concret, amés, era "relativament" barat i portava tant una rosca de montatge com un anell de retenció. AixÃ, la puc montar amb la rosca en la Vageeswari 10x12" i alhora amb l'anell de retenció en la Sinar.
Doncs be, apart de problemes amb poguer desenroscar la part frontal, que estava una mica oxidada (però finalment cedÃ), de cop el obturador es bloquejà i no funcionava amb cap dels modes.
Em vaig decidir a obrir-lo, ja que ja tinc expereincia en els Compur (dial i rim), probablement més complexes i tot. Pensava que alguna molla havia saltat de lloc, però... resulta que un dels cargols de subjecció del pistó de velocitats lentes (a la part superior del obturador) s'havia trencat, quedant el cap d'aquest bloquejant el moviment de les peces internes del obturador. Un cop tret de lloc, el mecanisme funciona perfectament. Només va quedar assegurar el punt del cargol amb una mica de cola d'impacte, ja que no puc extraure el que queda del cargol.
======================
A few weeks ago I bought a lens for ultra large format (ULF, larger than 8x10 inches) online, choosing a Schneider Kreuznach Symmar Convertible f5.6 360/620mm mounted on a Compound shutter.
I was particularly interested in this lens because of the possibility of having two focal depths in a single lens. In fact, by removing the rear part of the lens and mounting it in front instead of the usual one, you go from a 360mm to a 620mm lens. And it can also cover ULF formats, such as 10x12" or even 14x17"! This particular lens, moreover, was "relatively" cheap and had both a mounting flange and a retaining ring. Thus, I can mount it in the Vageeswari 10x12" with the flange, and at the same time in the Sinar board with the retaining ring.
Well, apart from problems with being able to unscrew the front part, which was a bit rusty (but finally gave in), suddenly the shutter locked and it didn't work in any of the modes.
I decided to open it, since I already have experience with the Compurs (dial and rim), probably more complex than this one. I thought a spring had popped out, but... it turns out one of the slow speed piston hold down screws (on top of the shutter) had broken, leaving the head of it blocking the movement of the parts shutter internals. Once removed, the mechanism works perfectly. All that was left was to secure the bolt point with some instant glue as I can't get what's left of the bolt out.
I tried to select a couple of photos which were, at the end, combined into a single photo (multiple exposures) by using Photoshop,..

Very recently we've awoken several of the long term stored vehicles in our storage compound and arragned them more appropriately. Amazingly, everything we attempted to start, started and nothing came to a grinding halt mid shunt!
