The depth gauge of submarine U995.
Submarine U995 was built on 16th September 1943 and established as a technical museum on 13th March 1972 in front of the Naval Memorial at Laboe.
It is the last of its kind and exactly the type of submarine that plays the leading role in the famous movie by Wolfgang Petersen: 'Das Boot'.
Another pic I took of my friend Peter Lundqvist from sweden one day we went to skate to a parking on the outskirts of Salamanca.
This depth gauge was found on a tour of the USS Silverside submarine in Muskegon, MI. This boat has so many gauges. Crazy.
Shot with my Nikon EM, 50mm e series lens, loaded with Ilford HP5 and self developed in D76.
In color, this is actually a seemingly boring picture, but I ended up taking it hoping it would really pop in black and white. I loved how the light hit the leaves and figured it might make for an interesting photo in monochrome. Here the reduced depth of field really intensifies the light hitting the first few leaves in the picture. I didn't go down to F/2.8 because I wanted a few leaves in full focus to showcase that sharpness.
f-stop: f9.0
shutter speed: 1/4
This picture is an example of shutter speed on a mini-waterfall. I experimented with one of the video suggestions by shooting moving water at a relatively slow shutter speed. As a result, the water takes on a silky, hair-like appearance and texture, as opposed to the hard, grainy feel of a faster shutter speed. In my opinion, the slower shutter speed more accurately shows what I normally see from a waterfall through my eyes.
The foliage becomes more focused until it finally reaches the object in focus adding visible depth to the photo. There is also some overlapping of the plants over the subject to add depth. Viewpoint is also a part of this photo as the picture was shot as if you were looking through the bushes.
My patent depth sounding device; knots at 1m centres. When anchoring I use it to feel around for any underwater rocks etc which aren't apparent; with the dog needing to go ashore we try and get as close in as possible; accurate tidal calculations required!
Small business gained new insight on partnering with federal and state governments during a contracting symposium held recently at the Monroe campus of Northampton County Community College.
The Northeast Pennsylvania Alliance (NEPA) organized the showcase that drew more than 100 attendees and businesses from the region.
NEPA Alliance Chief Executive Officer Jeff Box opened the event, stating that this past year a partnership between NEPA’s Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), the Department of Defense, the state and the depot helped small business secure more than $70 million in government contracts.
Judy Haff, chief of the Army Contracting Command (ACC) at Tobyhanna discussed present and emerging opportunities at the depot. Last year ACC and the depot awarded more than $22 million in local contracts for products and services.
With the electronics world moving in new directions, Tobyhanna is positioned to take advantage of these emerging opportunities and is looking for partners to help meet the demand.
“There are a lot of opportunities for small business contracts at the depot,” Haff said. “We’re looking for vendors that can provide products and services to support the depot’s mission — anything from cable and wire to construction to test equipment to hard-to-find parts for production.”
Partnering with local business is essential for the depot. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines rely on Tobyhanna to have the radios, computers, radars, robots and weapons systems ready to go whenever and wherever they need them, anywhere around the globe.
“Our engagement with business partners, surrounding communities and educational institutions ensures we will always fulfill our mission,” said Col. Gerhard P.R. Schröter, depot commander.
“We’re here to help guide them through the process because they’re going to help Tobyhanna,” Haff added.
Small Business Specialist David Kern and Management Analyst Jenny Croughn manned the depot’s exhibit and conferred with a constant stream of eager business owners and entrepreneurs pursuing best practices for contracting.
“The line never stopped,” said Kern. “I met a lot of people and answered many questions. It was a good opportunity to interact with the business community.”
With additional construction and production requirements coming down the road, business owners and entrepreneurs can look to ACC for ways to move forward. The Tobyhanna team routinely guides participants through the in-depth process to land successful contracts with the depot.
“There are a lot of layers to government contracting.” Haff said. “It’s very complex. We’ll do what we can and with PTAC, help them get started and be successful.”

Like the events of Rwanda and Uganda, the true depth of the tragedies of the Nigerias civil war largely escaped the Western worlds consciousness and are only brought to light in remarkable books like Adichies Half of a Yellow Sun. Biafras ill-fated struggle to establish an independent nation is beautifully and elegantly told through the eyes and voices of twin sisters of wealth Olanna and Kainene, and a highly intuitive 13-year old houseboy Ugwu. Olanna is mistress to a highly ideological university professor Odenigbo who fervently supports Biafran independence. Kainene is married to a British expatriate Richard who is enamored with the land and its culture. All find their own reasons for remaining in Biafra. And through them we learn how the people lived, loved, starved and suffered during this tumultuous period. I, for one, am old enough to remember the Nigerian civil war and the million that perished during that struggle. I remember seeing the covers of magazines showing the starving Biafran children. Yet, the events then didnt seem as real as reading Half of a Yellow Sun. Perhaps a befitting epilogue to this story is Richards manuscript which was entitled The World Was Silent When We Died.
