Are they really different?
How man are different? On, two or three?
What is the reason of the difference?
The thickness? The color? The material?
Are they really different? They all are ropes ....
There was a time, there was always a time. A time when she was nothing more than a figure in the crosshairs of some scope, years had passed with this being the case. Something had changed, a point of no return... he wasn't just a thick headed marine anymore following orders, he was here by his own free will.
St Maarten and St Martin - Caribbean - Dutch and French
What is the difference between St Maarten and St Martin?
During the 17th Century there was intermittent rivalry between the Dutch and French for control of the island and its salt mines. In 1648 the two countries signed the Treaty of Concordia which divided the island in two and urged its people to live in a cooperative manner.
Saint Martin (French: Saint-Martin; Dutch: Sint Maarten) is an island in the northeast Caribbean Sea, approximately 300 km (190 mi) east of Puerto Rico. The 87-square-kilometre (34 sq mi) island is divided roughly 60:40 between the French Republic (53 km2, 20 sq mi)[1] and the Kingdom of the Netherlands (34 km2, 13 sq mi),[2] but the two parts are roughly equal in population. The division dates to 1648. The southern Dutch part comprises Sint Maarten and is one of four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The northern French part comprises the Collectivity of Saint Martin and is an overseas collectivity of the French Republic. As part of France, the French part of the island is also part of the European Union.
What a difference a day makes. This is what "Isles of the mist" location on Loch Garry, shown in the last four scenes, looked like the following day, with no direct sun, no mist, though still reflecting.. As flat as a pancake.
(Actually, here on digital, after a tweak to contrast in "curves", it looks a LOT better than the original slide ever did!)
However, the photo isn't the only thing that's feeling "flat". In fact I'm feeling rather sick at the moment, like, "This would be a good time to give up photography altogether"!
What happened? Well, this evening, I "Upgraded" my catalog backup in Lr Classic 9. (It's been telling me to do it for a while.) There's a big warning with it , "This operation Cannot be undone!" Also, it tells you to ensure you have made a recent backup.. Well I back up 3-4 times a week so, no problem there. Right? WRONG!
I never actually opened those backup folders to see what was in them, I just assumed when I clicked on "Back up now" it was backing up everything.. Now I find that from the time I went "Adobe subscription Lr", nothing since that date has backed up. Updating the backup has deleted those 18 months of work! That must be close to 2,000 hours worth!
I know everything more recent really has gone, because it now accepts imports from anything later, which it wouldn't do if they were still in the catalogue.
(I'm keeping things in perspective though, especially at this time with C-19, when FAR more serious losses are happening for many people.)
Thank goodness the original pictures/files are safe, but all my grading and processing from that date, appears to have completely gone.

On my return from my fell walk the day before I thought this scene might make an interesting photo. I took the photo and decided to come the next morning. The next morning was very wet but I had a plan so I hurriedly walked through dawn to get to this spot and take the photo. Although quite different its debatable if any make a good photo, The first photo is taken at dusk handheld with my Fujifilm XT5 and the second is taken at dawn on a tripod with my Canon R5.
Metrobus WS124 (SK19FBE) on Route 227 passing MEC58 (BF65HUZ) on the hill by Bromley Magistrates Court.
This highlights the differences between the two "full size" buses that Metrobus have for the two Shortlands routes.
When I moved in a year ago, I had great plans for the spare bedroom. I wanted it to be a dedicated sewing/crafting dolly room.
I loaded it up with all my blythes, sewing stuff, and a big desk up against the window. I spent all of last year crafting at my tiny kitchen table instead. there was just something about the room that made me not like working in it. I barely walked into it except to occasionally move the blythes around and pile stuff up on the desk that had no other place.
After seeing bud loves sissy's photo of a work table facing into their living room, I realized the problem - I don't like facing the "wall" when I work! A little twist of the desk and now I find the room much more inviting and want to come right in and get to work!
I am in the small town of Dubois, WY tonight. It is 80 miles from Yellowstone National Park, which is where we are heading in the morning.
This is what I see behind the motel we are in.
I tried my new macro lens, which touts good portrait shots. Not bad, but can be sharper. This was handheld, so tripod may make the difference. It was overcast and tough to get correct skin tone. This is pretty close.
An image useful in showing that there are signifcant subtle differences among cygnets especially. Tundra Swans (Cygnus columbianus) at a local pond, Kelowna, BC.
When I lived in Lakeview, Oregon during 1985-1986, I discovered that trackside access to the Southern Pacific branchline into town was somewhat limited. There was an infamous sinkhole seven miles south of town at milepost 505 that was adjacent to a county road. It was the last public access to the right of way north of the state line. As such, I recorded a fair collection of photos there.
These two shots show the differences that took place in a seven month span. On a Tuesday night in August 1985, I caught SP's Lakeview Local rolling timetable westbound at MP 505. Although I couldn't have imagined it at the time, eight years later I would get to ride in the GP9 pulling this train from Woodburn to Salem via Silverton on the new Willamette Valley Railway.
In January 1986, SP sold the Lakeview Branch to Lake County Oregon as a shortline. The county hired Great Western Railroad of Colorado to operate the new shortline. Severe storms during February 1986 caused so much damage that GWR was out of service for three weeks making repairs. Fortunately, GWR had stockpiled empties in Lakeview, so they were able to spot cars for loading during most of the time they were out of service.
Once the branch was reopened, I caught the first GWR train out of Lakeview down at MP 505 on March 4th. It was nice that the train departed town during my lunch hour! Aside from the lack of a caboose and the paint on the locomotive, the image was very similar to what I had seen the previous summer.
A Volvo PV544 in Langen. According to Wikipedia, "In 1958, the PV544 was phased in. Subtle differences with the PV444 included the introduction of a curved one-piece windshield to replace the two panes of flat glass, larger taillights, and a ribbon-type speedometer. "

Adult American Redstart plumages are similar in both spring and fall. There is a marked difference between the mature adult male and female plumages. Probably the most interesting thing about the plumages of this species is the transition between the first fall male (born this spring) and the fully mature adult male. Plate images 1-3 are males, and 6 is a female, and 4,5 could be either sex. See discussion below.
Plate 1 shows the fully mature adult male, and plate 2 by contrast shows a near fully mature adult male. Note the difference in the extension of the black on the chest, and the areas of incomplete black about the face. Plate 2 probably represents a 2nd spring male (born two springs ago).
Plate 3 illustrates some important items. Plate 3 is a first spring male (born the previous spring). What will always be present in the first spring male is black in the lores (area in front of the eye). Beyond that telltale sign of first spring male is a variable amount of black elsewhere in the face and chest. This varies from imperceptible to some touches of black here and there, to more extensive black such as on the chest of this bird. The 2nd item of importance to point out about plate 3 is the yellow in the chest area in front of the wing. A first spring or first fall male often has orange in this area, but not always and this image illustrates that conclusively. More on the importance of that when discussing plate 5.
Plate 4 shows orange in front of the wing and is a fall image. This favors a first fall male, but some adult females may have orangish in front of the wing as well. A look at the over tail coverts (which are well seen in 1) would help separate further.
Black over tail coverts would indicate a male, and olive would indicate female. The retrices (tail feathers) are well seen in 4.
As a rule first fall birds (born preceding spring) would have sharper points to those feathers, and on an adult bird they would be duller. They don't look all that sharp to me in 4.
Plate 5 is the adult female plumage, but the image is from fall, so quite conceivably it could be one of those first fall males that don't have orange in the chest area in front of the wing. Finally plate 6 is the dullest of plumages, the first fall female (born this spring). Notice the lack of color on the wing itself, compared to the adult female plumage in 5.
QUESTIONS TO ASK IN SPRING WHEN YOU HAVE A FEMALE TYPE PLUMAGE:
1. Is there any black in the lores (area in front of the eye)?
2.Is there any black elsewhere on the head/chest?
3.Is there yellow or orange on the chest in front of the wing?
QUESTIONS TO ASK IN FALL WHEN YOU HAVE A FEMALE TYPE PLUMAGE:
1. Is there orange or yellow on the chest in front of the wing?
2.Is there any yellow on the wing itself (wing bar)?
3.Are the over tail coverts olive or black?
Wuning Road Bridge (武宁路桥) in Shanghai's Putuo District was built in 1956. First alterations happened in 1966.
The current state of the bridge is the result of a massive reconstruction, finished July 1st 2009. During this project the bridge was widened from 24.5m to 39m to fix a traffic "bottleneck". Also the 4 massive columns (each 27m tall) with the gilded figures on top were added. The bridge features 3 spans of 28m, 47m (accross the river) and 28m respectively; the width of the bridge is 39m.
The image is result of some PP, because the lights on the columns are way too bright. Merged from 2 exposures, 4EV exposure difference. EXIF data is from the "bright" shot. View large on a black background.

Scale is everything. Some snowflake are fractions of a millimeter, some are giants. This one? Well, it lets you see the difference!
The large snowflake, from left to right-most edges measures just under 1cm in diameter – pretty much as big as they come! The smaller ones are remarkably smaller – one is obvious in the lower left, but can you find all four smaller crystals in this image? One is incredibly hard to locate. A Where’s Waldo search in a snowflake!
These large crystals are incredibly rare. When snowflakes get this big, their fragility dramatically increases. Only the most stable, calm air can create them. Every time I have encountered a snowflake this large, it was when there was no weather forecast calling for snow, and nothing on the radar. During this shoot, it was actually sunny outside! Thankfully the place where I photograph snowflakes was in shade, but consider this an odd “sun shower” of snow.
The real beauty of a large crystal like this is the puzzle-piece connections in the middle of the snowflake. Some branches grow faster to fill in empty space, and most of the pockets of open air eventually get completely covered by crystal growth. If there is an open space in the middle of the snowflake, air and water vapour can pass through this space, allowing the crystals to grow further and further into it until there is almost no space left.
This snowflake was photographed at only 2.2:1 magnification, whereas most of my snowflakes are shot at much smaller sizes: 5x and beyond. If you encounter a behemoth of a snowflake such as this, you’d only need a regular macro lens on a micro fourth thirds camera, or a set of extension tubes on a larger-sensor camera to make magic. No specialized lenses beyond this! Sad that they are so rare, but they are easy to shoot in terms of equipment.
For all of my snowflake photographs, I use a ring flash. It allows me to change the angle of the camera to change the angle of light in a run-and-gun type scenario, where time is incredibly important. Get the right angle with this diffuse light source, and you’ll get the surface of the snowflake to send “glare” back to the camera. That’s what makes it shine here. What ring flash should you choose? Rather than recommend the Canon MR-14EX II, I’d point people towards the Yongnuo YN-14EX: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1125848-REG/yongnuo_yn_14e... . A fraction of the cost and every bit as good. If you shoot Nikon, I just recently learned that K&F Concept have a ring flash that appears to contain Xenon flash tubes instead of LEDs, and I’ll be getting one soon to test it out and confirm personally: www.kentfaith.com/KF22.008_kf150-ttl-flash-macro-ring-lit...
The Nikon flash is especially interesting because Nikon doesn’t even make a ring flash, and the only other one is a pricey Sigma model. Regardless of e-TTL or iTTL, these flashes can be operated in manual mode on ANY camera body – I’ve used my ring flashes on all types of Lumix bodies and they work just fine.
