“A MOON’S EYE VIEW OF THE APOLLO LUNAR SURFACE CLOSE-UP CAMERA
The Camera Takes a Scientific Photo of Moon Dirt In Stereo and Color”
A clever photograph, not only with regard to the perspective - through a transparent surface, but also of “illuminating” the fact that a repeat flash capability was necessary to take each photograph. A fact likely lost on the casual observer of the ALSCC…not that such exists. Fittingly, Bruce L. Elle, Eastman Kodak Co.’s program manager for design and production of the ALSCC demonstrates.
This photograph probably laid the foundation for this.
Friggin’ AWESOME. My WOC class ‘sang’ - at the top of our lungs - this as we marched into the DFAC shortly before graduation.
One of my all-time favorite bands – Angus ROCKS.

“A longtime member of the Kodak Apparatus Division, Research and Engineering team, Bruce Elle worked on several of the company’s most important contracts, including the production of photographic equipment for a secret Cold War spying operation, early photography of the moon for NASA’s Lunar Orbiter program, and close-up 3D photography of the lunar surface for the Apollo missions.
A graduate of Oregon State University, Elle served as the company program manager at Kodak responsible for the design of the Apollo Lunar Surface Close-up Camera (ALSCC), which was used to take stereoscopic close-ups of lunar soil during the moon landing missions. After Apollo 11’s lift-off, he flew to Houston to be on hand to provide expert advice and troubleshooting for the ALSCC. According to the Kodakery newsletter of July 24, 1969, he had marked the side of the mission’s camera—to be operated by first moonwalker Neil Armstrong and left behind on the moon to conserve weight—in red lettering: ‘If found return to Bruce Elle, U.S.A., Earth.’ Noticing the text, Neil was quick to ask: ‘Who’s going to pay the postage?’
The above per the RR Auction promotional write-up for items belonging to the estate of Mr. Elle. Of those, the April 16, 2020 “Space Exploration & Aviation” auction featured a training model of the ALSCC! Along with a bunch of other really really cool stuff owned by Mr. Elle:

Possibly the issue of ‘Kodakery” referenced, with the photograph on the cover. What a wonderfully terrible & corny title for their publication:

This quilt was made with Artisan Cottons by Windham Fabrics. She is about 40.5" square after washing. The Artisan Cottons are shot cottons, with a weight similar to quilting cotton.

At least I think it's the elusive green flash you can sometimes see as the sun sets, even with a 600mm focal it's a large crop but I never thought I'd see such a rare optical phenomena. Wish I had the chops to do a series of pics together to show how it changed but you can see that on the Wikipedia page :
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_flash
Seems there are different types, not sure if this is a mock-mirage green flash.
The Kevin Ayer's song ' Red, Green and You Blue ' almost fits the picture perfectly !
One of the few Green Flash E200s left in Plymouth which can turn up on almost anything, Sunday's on the 34 is rarely a decker and to be honest I was glad this turned up, brightens up a gloomy day as I think the Green is one of the best Flash liveries, others would disagree!
I spent some time observing this Wood Stork feeding along the shallows at low tide. Wood Storks, unlike most other wading birds, feed by tactilocation (touch). Storks put their partially open bills in the water and literally push it through the wetland. When the bill bumps into a prey item, the stork snaps it up with a lightning-quick reflex.
Storks use two behaviors to enhance their chances of capturing prey. They pump their feet under the water (foot-stirring), since that might startle a fish into moving and make it more “catchable.” Storks also “flash” or suddenly extend a wing out away from their body to either startle a fish into movement or provide a shaded area that a fish may want to move into.
Green flash, purtroppo neanche stamattina le condizioni erano buone, riproveremo in futuro sperando in un meteo migliore

Green flash, unfortunately even this morning the conditions were good, will try again in the future hoping for better weather
Just another frog shot, but what I like about it is that it was taken using the on-camera flash, which tends to bring out some different colors and a bit of fluorescence in the frog's skin.
OK, everyone seems to be doing the "drop-splash" photo these days. Here is my take on the theme.
Apart from localised levels adjustment, there was very little photoshop post production. The drop was photographed with a print of a diver (my wife, Jo) behind the splash zone, with the drop itself acting as a fisheye lens. The motion was frozen by using a flash (with homemade snoot) pointing at the diver print.

A simple flash extender for really close up shots, using the cameras pop-up flash and avoiding the shadow that can be caused by the lens when using a long lens, or a close up attachment (as here).
As can be seen, it is just a disposable paper coffee cup, with a hole cut in it to fit over the flash.
This brings the light source forward and by leaving the domed plastic cap on the cup, provides a diffused light source close to the end of the lens.
There are a couple of side effects, which can be seen in the photo below, but they are easy to correct by setting a custom white balance or in editing the image.
For really long lenses, a cup may not be long enough to get the light where you need it. In that case, a recent post on # DIY Photography which prompted me to write this, uses a Pringles tube :) for a longer reach.
A little more difficult as you need to cut through the metal base of the Pringles can.
Probably worth mentioning, I have not used anything other than gravity to hold the cup on the camera here. In a studio situation, nothing more is really needed. But if going out and about, a couple of rubber bands will hold it in place. I use one around the base of the cup and hooked under the eyecup on the viewfinder, with a second around the lens and cup.
Hopefully this will be useful to some of you.
Point Montara Lighthouse, California
Established in February 1875, originally with a kerosene lantern; upgraded in 1912 to a fourth order Fresnel lens.
There is a hostel operating out of the former lightkeeper's buildings, now.
Woman from the nomadic Mir tribe in her home in rural Gujarat, India.
Single flash through a softbox on camera left, with a reflector for fill.
It was overcast and dark and got windier so to freeze the movement of everything had to resort to flash.
Another splash of a fruit. :) Ist's strawberry-time so i tried it with a strawberry. ;) The flash was on the right. So you see the little shadow on the left side of the strawberry. -.-' I know it's not perfect, but I like this shot still anyway. I like shadows, it makes it some dramatic. I hope you like it and had a nice weekend!
I got a Fujifilm EF-20 Hotshoe flash in the mail today for my X100s. I wanted to test it out so I took a Selfie. I know it looks like of camera lighting but it's not. I rotated the flash 90 Degrees vertically turned my camera to portrait orientation and fired my flash in a V-flat created by opening my white kitchen cabinet.
