I'm very happy to say that you can find about ten of my photos in this months Advanced Photographer Magazine illustrating their Urban Location guide. Not only have they published some of my favourite photos, some of them like this one of the Birmingham Selfridges fill the whole page.
Even without the inclusion of my photos I'd really recommend the magazine ;-) , it's got a slightly different spin on things and doesn't seem to recycle the same articles one a yearly basis.

I am having issues with my MC Kaleinar-5N 100mm f/2.8 (Russian: "MC Калейнар-5Н 100/2.8") producing lots of spherical aberration which I think is leading to the overall softness of this lens. It is very soft throughout the aperture range.
Another frame at f/8 and still nothing is really in sharp or feels in focus.

Soviet postcard by Izdanie Bjuro Propagandy Sovetskogo Kinoiskusstva, no. 3, 107/72, 1972. Photo: Arkadi Zager. Donatas Banionis at right as Don Francisco de Goya y Lucientes and Fred Düren as Agustín Estevez in Goya – oder der arge Weg der Erkenntnis/Goya or the Hard Way to Enlightenment (Konrad Wolf, 1971).

Lithuanian and Soviet actor Donatas Banionis (1924-2014) is best known in the West for his performance in the lead role of Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972) as Kris Kelvin.
Donatas Banionis was born in Kaunas, Lithuania, on April 28, 1924. After visiting the Kaunas School of Crafts, Banionis began his acting career at the age of 17 at the Drama Theater of Panevėžys, where his first teacher was Juozas Miltinis before he started acting in films from 1959. His performance of the farmer Vaitkus in the Lithuanian film Nobody Wanted to Die/Niekas nenorėjo mirti/Никто не хотел умирать (1965) by Vytautas Žalakevičius was awarded the award for best actor at the Karlovy Vary film festival. Soon he was promoted to a highly requested actor, so many parts in prestigious national and international productions followed, such as his lead in the Soviet spy film Dead Season/ Myortvyy sezon/Мёртвый сезон (Savva Kulish 1966), and his supporting part in Mikhail Kalatozov’s Italo-Russian production The Red Tent/ Krasnaja palatka/Красная палатка (1969), on the rescue of the Umberto Nobile (Peter Finch) expedition by Roald Amundsen (Sean Connery). Vladimir Putin supposedly went to work for the KGB after seeing Banionis James Bond-like character Ladeinikov in Dead Season. Banionis has also worked outside the USSR, as in the title role Francisco Goya of the USSR-GDR coproduction Goya – oder der arge Weg der Erkenntnis/Goya or the Hard Way to Enlightenment (1971), directed by Konrad Wolf, and in the title role as Ludwig van Beethoven in the 1976 DEFA-production Beethoven - Tage aus einem Leben.
After a supporting part in Grigori Kozintsev’s King Lear (1971), starring the Estonian actor Jüri Järvet, he would play again opposite Järvet in his most well-known film part, that of Kris Kelvin in Andrei Tarkovsky’s remarkable science fiction film Solaris (1972), based on Stanislaw Lem’s novel. Kelvin, a psychologist, is sent to a space station placed in orbit around the planet Solaris, where the two surviving scientists of five (three committed suicide) tell him the ocean of the planet is capable to fulfill their wishes. Kelvin meets his dead wife Hari (Natalya Bondarchuk), tries to kill this phantom but fails to do so, and she becomes more and more real, even if lacking a memory. The phantoms prove to be the products of the planet, communicating with humans. In the end, Kelvin returns to Earth. Or is this Earth also a simulation? Tarkovski thus stressed the limits of knowledge, the reality behind reality, and the subjectivity of perception. The film premiered at the 1972 Cannes film festival, won the Grand Prix Spécial du Jury, and was nominated for the Palme d'Or. It premiered in the Soviet Union in 1973. In 2002 a remake of the film was made by Steven Soderbergh, starring George Clooney. Dreading the making of this remake, in 2002 Salman Rushdie praised Tarkovski’s original as an “exploration of the unreliability of reality and the power of the human unconscious, the great examination of the limits of rationalism and the perverse power of even the most ill-fated love”.
Steve Shelokhonov on IMDb writes about his later career: “Donatas Banionis constituted the link between the cinema of the past and contemporary Lithuanian film. He showed reserved and convincing work in the role of 'The old man' in Kiemas (Courtyard, 1999), a reflective film about a Lithuanian father and his family's depressing fate in the 1970's Soviet Union. He worked with director Aleksandr Buravskiy in Attack on Leningrad (2006), a film about the historic siege during the Second World War. Here his acting partners were e.g. Gabriel Byrne, Mira Sorvino, Aleksandr Abdulov, Kirill Lavrov, and Mikhail Efremov.”
During his 65 years of acting, Banionis played over 50 roles in film and on television, and over 100 stage parts, mainly at the Panevezys Juozas Miltinis' Drama Theatre, which was frequented by Donatas' fans from all over the former Soviet Union. He also acted in Vilnius at the Lithuanian National Drama Theatre. Banionis was designated People's Actor of the USSR (1974), and People's actor of the Lithuanian Republic (1973). He was Chevalier of the Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas. Donatas Banionis died from cardiac arrest in a hospital in Vilnius on September 4, 2014 (though Shelokhonov on IMDb states it was in his hometown Panevėžys). Donatas Banionis was 90 years old.

Hispano-Carthaginian issues. Trishekel circa 221-206, AR 22.11 g. Laureate head (Melqart or Hannibal) l., with club over r. shoulder. Rev. Elephant r. De Navasques 458. CNH 12 (this obverse die). Robinson, Essays Mattingly, 6(b). Villaronga-Benages 552 (this coin and obverse illustrated on the front cover of the catalogue).
Of the highest rarity, possibly the finest of five specimens known of which only three are
in private hands. An issue of tremendous fascination and historical importance with a
superb portrait of superb Hellenistic style struck in high relief on excellent metal.
Light old cabinet tone, almost invisible marks otherwise good extremely fine
In terms of inventiveness and composition, this coin ranks among the most extraordinary of Barcid issues. Its high-relief dies are executed with great skill, finding an almost perfect balance between realism and artistic license. Beyond its obvious visual appeal, this type is also of historical interest, even if its place in the events leading up to, and carrying through the Second Punic War is not certainly established.Robinson believed the clean-shaven portrait on this coin was Melkart-Heracles with the features of that most formidable enemy of Rome, Hannibal, who in 221 succeeded his brother-in-law Hasdrubal as commander of Carthaginian forces in Spain. Unlike his diplomatic brother-in-law, Hannibal followed in his father's footsteps: he behaved aggressively toward rivals, which, inevitably, led to war with Rome.Hostilities between Rome and the Barcids reached a perilous height when, in 218, there was a purge in the city of Saguntum of those who supported good relations with the Barcids. Hannibal responded by laying siege to the city, which in a few months succumbed. Carthage and Rome were now unquestionably at war. Though Italy and Spain were the principal regions of conflict during this long and costly war, at various times most parts of the Western Mediterranean suffered the privations of this conflict.

Six hundred miles an hour
Three inches off the ground
Your feet feel the concussion
As you pass the speed of sound
A fine preoccupation
Just how fast can you go?
At eight hundred miles an hour
Your blood begins to slow
At an inch and then a half inch
It's the damnedest thing
Blades of grass whip past
They slice they don't sting
Nine hundred miles an hour
A quarter inch off the ground
A small gnat hits you
You explode without a sound

Galicia21. Journal of Contemporary Galician Studies
Issue C. 2011
Ao igual que nos dous últimos anos, nos derradeiros meses do 2011 deseñamos o número C da revista Galicia21. Journal of Contemporary Galician Studies.
O formato en A4 da revista veu dado polo feito de estar plantexada como unha revista de distribución libre ao traverso da rede para ser impresa de maneira individual polos seus lectores.
Para o deseño da páxina tipo plantexamos un aproveitamento máximo da superficie do papel, así como unha composición tipográfica que promovese unha relación doada entre o texto principal e as notas ao pé, habitualmente complexa neste tipo de publicacións especializadas.
Para as portadas, tratándose dunha revista que se centra nos estudos galegos dende unha perspectiva científica, desenvolvemos unha gráfica paralela ao redor da idea do 'herbario' para reflexar isa vontade de coñecemento en profundidade sobre un territorio.
Dista maneira, cada un dos exemplares, ordenados por letras e comezando polo A, ilustrarase cun exemplar da botánica galega cuxo nome comece pola letra que corresponda a cada nova edición, rematando por configurar un alfabeto de herbas...
Para o terceiro número, 'Issue C' escollimos o exemplar Centaurium maritimum
