Antique Farm Equipment

The old corn cribs were designed so the equipment can pull through and unload, then the equipment stored over winter for protection. Over the years the corn cribs evolved to outpost garages and junk collections in the fileds.

And now for something completely different. I was struck by the light and shadow on these implements in a mug on the kitchen counter.
Hope you are enjoying a beautiful week. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

L'union des sociétés de développement de Lausanne (USDL) a décidé de marquer l'entrée dans le troisième millénaire par la réalisation de la Tour de Sauvabelin. Cette tour construite en bois massif local dans un esprit de respect de l'environnement permet à tout un chacun d'admirer le magnifique panorama s'étendant sur les hauts de Lausanne. Les 302 marches de la tour de Sauvabelin sponsorisées par de nombreuses entreprises locales vous permettront d'accéder au sommet en toute sécurité après un effort régénérateur. La Tour de Sauvabelin est ouverte au public depuis le 15 décembre 2003.
Quelques chiffres intéressants :
hauteur de la tour : 35 mètres
la plate forme supérieur se situe à plus de 30 mètres, c'est à dire nettement au-dessus de la cime des arbres environnants
diamètre de la base : 12 mètres
diamètre de la plate forme supérieure : 8 mètres

The union of Lausanne development companies (USLD) decided to mark the entry into the third millennium through the implementation of the Tower of Sauvabelin. This tower built in local hardwood in a spirit of respect for the environment allows everyone to enjoy the beautiful panorama spanning upper Lausanne. The 302 steps of the tower of Sauvabelin sponsored by many local businesses will allow you to reach the top safely after a regenerative effort. The Sauvabelin Tower is open to the public since December 15, 2003.
Some interesting figures:
tower height: 35 meters
the flat top shape is more than 30 meters, ie well above the tops of the surrounding trees
diameter of the base: 12 meters
diameter of the flat top form: 8 meters

Siempre que voy a un curso, intento implementar los conocimientos aportados por el docente, éste es un claro ejemplo.
Tras el curso de Juan Pablo de Miguel en Logroño, había una imagen que siempre me llamó la atención, que es su foto de la Sagrada Familia (todo un espectáculo para que recomiendo).
Pues nada, con las muletas y la familia, nada más entrar en el monasterio de Baltalha, me puse manos a la obra, la verdad que el monasterio no es tan espectacular como la Sagrada Familia, ni yo soy buen fotografo; pero la verdad que el resultado me agrada.
Si queréis hacer algo mucho mejor que esto, estad atentos a los próximos curso de Juan Pablo de Miguel, con esta y muchas más técnicas.
La foto está realizada a pulso e Iso alto, por si alguien se anima.

Camera: Beacon Two-Twenty-Five, a low-end 1950s plastic camera with a 70mm doublet lens. The focus is fixed and ranges from about 5 1/2 feet to infinity. The shutter, at around 1/50 second, is best for daylight shots, but even small movements (such as the horse's ear) can result in blur. Overall, the camera is quite fun to shoot and I was very pleased at the quality of image produced by the doublet lens. The camera is called the "Two-Twenty-Five" because it produces 2.25-inch square images.
A fascinating history of the company which produced the Beacon can be found at Mike Eckman's website: mikeeckman.com/2023/07/beacon-two-twenty-five-1950/
Film: 120-size Arista 100 ISO, respooled onto a 620 reel.
Developing: Kodak HC-110, Dilution B, 6 min.
This neat little device (farm implement) turns your tractor into a small combine, or corn picker.

I tried working with the strong morning light to create this image. I wanted a bold and colorful image. Hopefully, you aren't blinded by looking at the crazy colors. Happy Macro Monday!
An extreme close up of the working side of a meat tenderiser.
Last week my son and I were making schnitzel. He had the job of bashing the pork loins and he commented that the tenderiser looked like a Cluedo murder weapon: Colonel Mustard, in the kitchen, with the meat tenderiser!
HMM to you all.
Clifton, Arizona, USA. Once a booming copper mining town but now mostly declining or already in decay and the majority of people and business have moved just up the road to Morenci. The Freeport McMoRan copper mine located in Morenci is one of the largest in the world
Cliff dwellings along the San Francisco and Gila Rivers are evidence of an advanced civilization that existed long before Caesar ruled Rome. Many specimens of pottery and stone implements are still to be found in these ancient dwelling places. In the mid-1500s, both Fray Marcos de Niza and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado passed through the area, following the San Pedro north to the Gila River. Geronimo was born in 1829 near the confluence of Eagle Creek and the San Francisco and Gila Rivers.
In 1856 the first mineral discoveries of the Morenci/Clifton area were found by California volunteers pursuing Apaches, and conflicts between the Apaches and advancing Anglo settlers touched off a 26-year-long war. Mining for gold and silver began in 1864, followed by copper in 1872, and the mine at Morenci quickly grew to become the largest copper producer in North America. Clifton's population ballooned from 600 in 1880 to 5000 by 1910, and it quickly earned its reputation as the wildest of the "Wild West" boomtowns. Neighboring Morenci was swallowed up by an open pit mine in the 1960s, but Clifton was preserved, and today Chase Creek Street is still graced with lovely Victorian-era buildings from the town's halcyon days as the place to quickly make and lose a fortune.
In 1983, Clifton survived two nearly fatal blows, first a nearly three-year-long strike that began on June 30, 1983. Then later that same year, on October 2, 1983, Tropical Storm Octave sent 90,900 cubic feet of water per second into the San Francisco River, which burst its banks, destroying 700 homes and heavily damaging 86 of the town's 126 businesses.
"Spreading a Little Sunshine" in Capitol Reef National Park.
I photographed this vintage farm implement, an old manure spreader, in a park that includes a lot of agricultural history. I grew up using a more modern version of this spreader, on our family dairy farm in eastern Oregon. Ours was pulled by a tractor, rather than a team of horses. Ours used the Power-Take-Off (PTO) from the tractor to convey the manure to the spinning tines at the end, which flung the dung out into the field; whereas, theirs was powered just by the horses and those large wheels connected to a series of gears. Either way, you didn't want to be near those spinning teeth at the back end, or you'd get "sunshine" in your face!
The hardest part of creating this photo was making sure the Photopills app was correctly calibrated on my cell phone, so that my Blue Hour camera/tripod alignment shot was correct for the Milky Way core, which wouldn't be visible for another 90 minutes.

Due a relatively high demand for local grain throughout the late summer months, OneRail have been operating several services South-East of Adelaide to Tailem Bend and Wolseley. On some days, a second divison service has been implemented to help cope with the demand. In this image, 1283S empty grain train to Tailem Bend heads through Mile End with GWA007/ALF24/CLF6/G535 in the early evening light on the 12th of February 2021.
Having fun with in-camera focus-stacking, handheld.
15 frames (was 10 frames max until new firmware 3.0 of Jun2019), with focus differential of 3. Useful feature to shoot the lens wide opened for bokeh while getting sufficient DOF on the subject.
EM1 Mkii with 12-100mm f4.0.
If the camera can stack 15 frames handheld at one go, what is preventing Olympus from implementing a "Night Mode" like those in the newest smartphones!? Unless Olympus is reserving this for future models.
Time for Olympus to bring out a new macro lens with IS.
The old (NEX & A-mount) Sony cameras have the "Handheld Twilight Mode" and "Multi Frame Noise Reduction mode", such advanced multi-stack modes are no different fundamentally from those found in today's smartphones but have somehow all done a Houdini on newer cameras!
The E-M1 Mk2 does have a couple of auto HDR modes that are usable handheld, I've tried this with the 12-100mm.
Preface: I came upon a handmade diving implement left leaning against one of the dumpsters (bins). I was admiring it as it was obviously hand made and a rather ingenious yet simple device. Being one who is interested in material culture I examined the "diver's wand" as to its construction, materials and operation. I photographed it and noticed a woman watching me.
I was rather excited and showed it to her and demonstrated it workings. She proceeded to put two rather nice chairs into the back of her pickup truck.
She was friendly and curious, both about the device and me. She asked questions about me and my purpose for photographing junk. I asked if she would mind practicing a bit of diving with the wand, so that I might get some photos of its operation, but she declined. She did however offer to take photos of me, so I accepted.
We staged several photos with me holding the wand, which consisted of a hollow iron tube (a sleeve) with two stationary hooks attached to the far end. An iron rod was inserted through the sleeve. At the terminal (business) end of the rod was a single hook, while the other (operator's) end sported a bent handle with a hand made sewn and braided leather grip. These features are best seen in Frame 2. By sliding the rod back and forth through the sleeve one is able to grasp and secure items of varying sizes and at different depths or distances.
Frame 1: I proceeded to the closest dumpster, it was fairly empty, but in the bottom I noted some office supplies and a few books. I poked around a bit and got a feel for the diving device. I became rather excited when I saw "A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets" and with very little effort was able to extract the hard-cover book from the trash.
Frame 2: Ascertaining the condition of the book. Someone had taken very good care of it, I would describe the condition as good to excellent. The paper cover was slightly warn and there was a very small stain or two on the hard cover. In ink on the inside jacket cover was written a price, $8.95.
Frame 3: Same dumpster, a Hardcover edition of Margaret Mead, Blackberry Winter.
Frame 4: Pocketing the booty. A satisfying score.
Afterward: I wondered why someone would throw these books into the dumpster instead of placing them on the reuse platform just 15 feet away.
I retrieved my camera from the interim photographer and we talked a bit, sharing TS observations, and philosophies. I then walked to the homeless camp and asked the occupant if the hook belonged to him. It did not, he claimed, so I returned it to the spot I had found it. Surely it's owner would be back.
A short time later I saw another woman employing the hooking device. I asked her if that was her hook, she said no and asked me if it was mine. I said no, but I had seen it resting against the other dumpster. She said yes, that's where she had found it. I asked her if she planned to keep it and she said "yes, I like it." I said, "but it doesn't belong to you." She replied, "If I don't take it, someone else will."
So that was the end of it. I'm sure she detected my displeasure. It wasn't always that way around here. You could pass an item in the same place for a week or a month or all winter before someone came by and claimed it. Now it guess it's "finder's keepers..."

I went to the museum last weekend with some friends who were visiting. You know what struck me, more than any other detail? How interesting the supportive structures are. These bones are of course intriguing, but when I focused on the structures that hold them up… all the structures of display in the museum, in fact… I really saw the whole experience through new eyes.
An abandoned villa in the Italian countryside with some nice details in the living areas upstairs and a lot of large barrels in the basement. Unsure on the history of this but seems to have been abandoned for many years.
