20200704_Aleu_FlowersInTongueColour
I cannot be certain with the identification of this plant, but the color of the flowers and the form of the leaves is consistent with the popular hybrid Correa "Dusky Bells". The genus Correa has around a dozen species, but there are many subspecies, hybrids and cultivars. Correa plants are one of those unassuming, underrated shrubs: tough and hardy. They work well in public spaces where they receive little or no attention. Yet, they produce these charming flowers.

Post-processing ...
Finder - Removed the CF card from the camera digital back and placed it in a Lexar 25-in-1 USB card reader. Then used Finder on my MacBook Air to download the raw image file (3FR extension) from the card.
Lightroom - Imported the 3FR image.
Lightroom - Used the Map module to add the location details to the EXIF header.
Lightroom - Adjusted the white balance slightly.
Lightroom - Applied a square (1:1 aspect ratio) crop.
Lightroom - Applied various basic lighting and color adjustments in the Develop module. Increased the exposure, reduced the Highlights and Whites, added some Clarity, and decreased the Saturation. Also selectively decreased the Green saturation whilst increasing the Yellow, Orange and Red saturation
Lightroom - Saved the basic Develop module settings as preset 20160807-001.
Lightroom - Output the image as a JPEG image using the "Maximum" quality option (6200 x 6200 pixels).
PhotoSync - Copied the JPEG file to my iPad Mini for any final processing, review, enjoyment, and posting to social media.

Around 180 coaches turned up at Wembley today (25/05/2024) for the FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Manchester United. As usual there was a good selection of operators passing us keeping a dozen of us photters happy!
A dozen of the 40 or so TLRs from my recent collecting. It's amazing to me how many different names are on nearly identical cameras from the 40s-50s era. They work the same, shoot the same, and all have the same issues when something starts to go bad. They certainly are a blast to use though. Of this bunch the Altiflex takes the cake for odd design. Stopped down, they are all capable of producing quality images.
The Douglas C-54 Skymaster is a four-engined transport aircraft used by the United States Army Air Forces in World War II and the Korean War. Like the Douglas C-47 Skytrain, the C-54 Skymaster was derived from a civilian airliner, the Douglas DC-4. Besides transport of cargo, the C-54 also carried presidents, prime ministers, and military staff. Dozens of variants of the C-54 were employed in a wide variety of non-combat roles such as air-sea rescue, scientific and military research, and missile tracking and recovery. During the Berlin Airlift it hauled coal and food supplies to West Berlin. After the Korean War it continued to be used for military and civilian uses by more than 30 countries. This was one of the first aircraft to carry the President of the United States.
With the entry of the United States into World War II, in June 1941 the War Department took over the provision orders for the airlines for the Douglas DC-4 and allocated them to the United States Army Air Forces with the designation C-54 Skymaster. The first, a C-54, flew from Clover Field in Santa Monica, California on 14 February 1942.
To meet military requirements the first civil production aircraft had four additional auxiliary fuel tanks in the main cabin which reduced the passenger seats to 26. The following batch of aircraft, designated C-54A, were built with a stronger floor and a cargo door with a hoist and winch. The first C-54A was delivered in February 1943. The C-54B, introduced in March 1944, had integral fuel tanks in the outer wings, allowing two of the cabin tanks to be removed. This change allowed 49-seats (or 16 stretchers) to be fitted. The C-54C, a hybrid for Presidential use, had a C-54A fuselage with four cabin fuel tanks and C-54B wings with built in tanks to achieve maximum range.
The most common variant was the C-54D, which entered service in August 1944. Based on the C-54B, it was fitted with more powerful R-2000-11 engines. With the C-54E, the last two cabin fuel tanks were moved to the wings which would allow more freight or 44 passenger seats.
Aircraft transferred to the United States Navy were designated Douglas R5D. With the introduction of the Tri-Service aircraft designation system in 1962, all R5Ds were re-designated C-54.
By avoiding sodium as much as possible, along with caffeine, I have been able to get my blood pressure into a healthy range without taking any pills. This Morton Salt Substitute works very well, so I buy it by the dozen.
Egg-laying velvet-worm Ooperipatellus species. This velvet-worm was found under a log in a damp woodland gulley, during our Bush Blitz on Flinders Island in March 2014. It is almost certainly an undescribed species, and may prove to be confined to Flinders Island. Velvet-worms are in a phylum of their own and have very ancient origins that pre-date the rise of the arthropods. Tasmania is a hot-spot for them, and may eventually be shown to host dozens of species, although they mostly look very similar from the outside.
After taking a dozen photographs of the stars, the clouds enveloped the overlook at Monte Sano State Park this morning and I never saw the sky again until well after sunrise. I roamed around aimlessly, after sunrise, searching for a picture but I didn’t have much luck. So I wondered back to my truck by the overlook. There was still mist on the mountain and that’s where I found this picture.

Of the half dozen makers who aimed their top model at the wealthy enthusiast niche occupied by George Brough and his Brough Superior 'super bikes', Michael McEvoy with his own name brand 'McEvoy' tried hardest. Tall, handsome in the Errol Flyn mould, he rode his bikes himself from his Derby base and sometimes encountered George out for a run from nearby Nottingham and after a friendly 'burn' up' the two would have a session in a village pub. There were no breath tests then.
Business wise there was really no contest. Brough had started his Brough Superior marque in 1920 enjoying a head start on McEvoy who did not launch until 1925 though even then he was ostensibly still a premium apprentice at Rolls Royce and the 'cottage industry' premises in the small township of Duffield near by, were run by an employee. The Duffield address is cast on the alloy chain case of this model indicating an early model before the firm moved into Derby. McEvoy had style and this model is certainly as stylish as a Brough Superior but the British Anzani engine was no match for the lordly J.A.P. engines in Broughs. Even when McEvoy made the occasional one with the O.H.V. J.A. Prestwich power plant for racing, they would not have the edge that Broughs had.
This 1926/1927 McEvoy 1000cc, preserved at the National Motorcycle Museum, has an interesting design of valves and O.H.V. rockers.
Leonor Antunes - da desigualdade constante dos dias de leonor
Em duas galerias contíguas, Leonor Antunes (n. 1972) provoca um encontro entre a sua obra, uma intervenção concebida para a totalidade do espaço da nave, e as obras de três dezenas de artistas mulheres da Coleção do CAM apresentadas no mezanino, associando reciprocamente a sua prática e obra às obras e práticas destas artistas.
In two adjacent galleries, Leonor Antunes (b. 1972) provokes an encounter between her work, an intervention designed for the entire space of the nave, and the works of three dozen female artists from the CAM Collection presented on the mezzanine, reciprocally associating their practice and work to the works and practices of these artists.
Stagecoach operated half a dozen ex Ribble/Manchester Leyland Atlanteans in Glasgow, and three of them a lined-up at their Hobden Street Depot which was located in the Springburn area of the city. Operations were later sold to Kelvin Central Buses in order to launch a bid for Strathclyde Buses which was ultimately unsuccessful, but the company would return to fight again under the Stagecoach Glasgow banner.

So here’s the deal: I like flickr. Love it, actually. I enjoy following a small group of contacts and seeing their work progress and change. I like having an outlet to share my thoughts and ideas. But I don’t like having my work stolen and presented as someone else’s. I don’t like dozens of messages and comments a day asking me to view someone's “most interesting” photos or comment their streams or teach them to use their camera. And I don’t like feeling the need to have to say any of this. But I do.
To the person who directed me to the Facebook account that was displaying my images as their own: thank you. And to my contacts, many of whom I now consider friends, thank you.
And to those of you who message me kind words, thank you. But while I sincerely appreciate your sentiments, I’m not sure how to respond to all the recent requests for advice. I am not a professionally trained photographer. I am a writer who fell in love with photography after interning at a small newspaper that required its journalists to take their own photos. I don’t know what advice to give other than to be true to your own vision and ideas while respecting the visions and ideas of others. Learn your camera, stretch yourself beyond your level of comfort, and try to capture the world around you with your own unique eye and style without trying to emulate someone else’s. Be fearless. Accept that all art forms are subjective and that for every person who finds beauty there will be another who finds fault. Do not be stifled by the talents of others and never resolve your own talents with absolute satisfaction. Instead, purpose yourself to be and do better with each click of the shutter.
Attended the Magnet Technology Conference in Seoul a few weeks back. Took the opportunity to see the city while we were there. Many very cool palaces and architecture around.
This particular building was within Gyeongbukgung, a large complex across from one the hotels I had stayed at. Somehow I seemed to be the only one around who noticed the rainbow/halo? as out of probably dozens of people with cameras, I was the only one looking up...
From Wikipedia: Hyangwonjeong (Hangul: 향원정; hanja: 香遠亭), or Hyangwonjeong Pavilion, is a small, two-story hexagonal pavilion built around 1873 by the order of King Gojong when Geoncheonggung residence was built to the north within Gyeongbokgung.[12]
The pavilion was constructed on an artificial island of a lake named Hyangwonji (Hangul: 향원지; hanja: 香遠池), and a bridge named Chwihyanggyo (Hangul: 취향교; hanja: 醉香橋) connects it to the palace grounds. The name Hyangwonjeong is loosely translated as "Pavilion of Far-Reaching Fragrance", while Chwihyanggyo is "Bridge Intoxicated with Fragrance".[12]
The bridge Chwihyanggyo was originally located on the north side of the island and was the longest bridge constructed purely of wood during the Joseon dynasty; however, it was destroyed during the Korean War. The bridge was reconstructed in its present form on the south side of the island in 1953.

A half dozen crystal glasses. This imahe was created using available light and a long exposure to create an overexposed image which was then adjusted using the shadow and contrast filters in PS.
The ground was thronged with corpses. Dozens of them were littered upon the earth like rocks across a riverbed. There were Orcs and Nerogieians strewn across this patch of land. Such wanton killing Terrenen had never seen in his life. A Nerogueian commander lay open mouthed upon the ground. An Orc reclined against a tree, a single arrow protruding from its stomach. None were alive. Weapons were scattered across the land, but Terrenen had touched none, out of respect. He felt a strange empathy with every one of these people, no matter what race or faction. He knew what it was like to feel fear before death. To anticipate your life being taken away.
He noticed a large furry hulk ahead of him. As he walked towards it, he realised that it was a Warg. He could tell based on how the hair had been gripped, that it was the mount of a Warg rider. He assumed that the Orc lying below the creature was the beasts rider. As he stared at the creature, he realised that despite the sword in its shoulder, the beast was alive. The Warg's chest rose and fell with difficulty, each breath a nearly insurmountable task. Terrenen bent down and tore a piece of cloth off the Orc's garment,then approached the Warg to bandage it's wound. The Warg lifted its great head, growling. Terrenen leapt back in surprise, but realised that the creature couldn't move if it wanted to. He wrapped the bandage around the Warg's leg, then treated the sword wound. All the while the creature stared on, somehow aware that Terrenen was being of assistance. He turned as his eye stopped on another corpse.
A man wearing raggedy clothes and chainmail. Amazingly, despite his light armour the man was still alive. Terrenen bent down to listen to his heartbeat, and heard something else- a faint voice, hardly a whisper-
"Zorthan..."
Terrenen realised with a start that the man was speaking.
"Don't worry." He whispered back. "I'll get you to Zorthan."
He turned, and found that the Warg was now standing, limping anxiously toward Terrenen. It was clear that the beast now saw Terrenen as a safe person.
Terrenen then had a strange idea...
Several hours later, Terrenen sat on the Warg, the other man laying behind him. He was near to Zorthan now...
4th Wall Commentary
This is my favorite LoM creation I have made thus far. Tried out new landscaping techniques, Revisited an old tree technique, made a Warg- I love pretty much everything about this build. Also I think I'm the only builder to bother with shelf fungus.
Feel free to comment below with compliments and criticism. I will respond to all questions.
Soli Deo Gloria!
of sunset or sunrise shots on my hard drive that have not seen the light of day (pun intended). The SOOC's are pretty colorful and with a little editing they just seem unreal and that is why they stay in the digital darkroom. The SOOC is in the comments for comparison.
This one is a two exposure blend-one for the sky and one for the foreground. Some clarity in LR4 was added to the sky and the colors boosted about 15 percent. A few weeds cloned out for good measure...

i purchased these cupcakes from retro bakery as a gift for geoff. the song has meaning for us, so it couldn't be more perfect!
This gent was trying to have a nice breakfast but his 12 buddies
wanted something different. Prior to this shot there were at
least a half dozen more swarming his space !
Incredibly, this nice guy never flinched once, I think he enjoyed their company !
This view looks southeast across Hampton and Teotonia Avenues.
All that is left of Milwaukee's legendary "Beer Line" that once extended several miles into the city's north side to service Schlitz, Pabst, and Blatz-as well as dozens of other customers-is this quarter mile or so segment.
WSOR operates it and services the last customer on the line-Benz Oil. The track extends across Teutonia Avenue to provide a tail track for switching Benz, using part of a siding that once serviced a lumber yard.
