Using the S4 again with a new to m Nikkor 105mm. We had our first spring snow so got to try out some quick shots with the lens. Was impressed with some of the sharpness but had some trouble with the exposure as my "meter" (my brain) was off. Live and learn.

By Erik. It's a pleasant feeling to discover some special place that you never expected. This museum of homestead-era homes from all around Fort Rock Valley of Oregon's High Desert offered plenty of perspective and a bounty of indoor photo opportunities, not something I normally find myself enjoying.
The No Limits Bike Racing Championship made its formal Return to the World Famous Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit for a Very Special 8 Hour Endurance Race.
Each and Every Team Had a selection of High Powered Racing Machinery that would along with the Rider take on the Might of Brands Hatches' Grand Prix Circuit for a Gruelling 8 Hours Straight.
While Some Teams had as many as Four Riders to make the job a Little Bit Easier other Teams Had decided to go with just Two Riders for 4 Hours Each knowing they Had the Skills and Determination to Keep Racing Hard.
The Championship was in is Last Race of the Season here at Brands and Whoever Won this Final Event would take the No Limits Bike Racing Championship Crown.
Qualifying was up First and setting the Pace at the Top of the Timings was (Andelle Leathers / RatMally Graphic) on their Kawasaki 998/Kawasaki 1000 Racing Bikes with an Incredible Time of 1.31.846 and a Top Speed of 95.37 to take Pole at The Start of the Race.
In Second Place was (Delkevic Racing) Kawasaki 1000/BMW 1000/Kawasaki 1000 Yamaha 1000 Racing Bikes with a Lap Time of 1.31.784 and a Top Speed of 95.34mph.
In Third Place was (Earnshaw's Motorcycles) BMW 1000/BMW 1000 Racing Bikes with A Lap Time of 1.32.099 and an Top Speed of 95.11mph.
With Qualifying Over and a 11:46am Start Fast Approaching all of the Riders to head out for the First 2 Hours. Just like Old School Le Mans the Riders all Lined Up on the Opposite Side of the Pitlane with their Respective Teams Holding onto the Bikes Ready for them to Blast off into the Distance around the Circuit.
A Loud Bang from the Calcian Signalled the Start of an 8 Hour Endurance Race and each Rider Ran Towards their Bikes Fired them Up and Set off onto the Race Track.
During the First Hour All Riders Made it through the First Opening Laps without any Problems and already many of them were getting up to Speed while some other Riders Preferred to nurse their Machinery for the First Hour to Avoid anything Breaking or Failing on thease High Powered Machines.
As Hour two Approached Everyone was still going strong and The Riders were Each Getting into a Really Good Rhythm of the Grand Prix circuit while other Teams had opted to Head to the pits to swap Riders and Give themselves more of a chance to take Victory with a selection of different Talents and Bikes available.
The Start of Hour Three saw a lot of Different Battles Going on thought the field and on the Back Straight there was some Close Wheel to Wheel Action Between Every Rider traveling at Speeds close to Nearly 100mph. Some Riders were Pushing so Hard that Even their Front Wheels Rose into the Air Making for some Epic and Thrilling Moments. An Overtake by Rider Number 97 on 36 was the Highlight so Far.
Hour Four and Still Each Rider was not Giving Up on the Chance of Victory with Half of the Endurance Race Completed by Now it was Time for Another Rider Change and with Many Teams Heading for the Pits Once Again Each New Rider Ventured Out onto the Brands Hatch GP Circuit it Beautiful Sunlit Conditions Although thease Must Have Been Playing Havoc with the Visibility for the Riders. Non the Less After Just One Retirement Earlier Due to an Engine Fire and a Marshall that should Have Really Been More Prepared. the Remaining Riders Soldered on.
The Fifth Hour was now Upon them and after a Very Hectic and Fast set of Laps Earlier Many Riders were setting down into their Positions to make sure the Bike they were on would Survive to the End. Druids was a Place to witness some Incredible Overtakes During this Time with the Light Levels Lowering and The Riders Really Looking like they were Pushing Hard and Encouraging their Machines to solder onto Victory.
Hour Six and with the Light Levels Now Falling even Lower it looked like this Endurance Race would be Ending in Nearly Dark Conditions as the Rider Kept on Going. The Few Retirement's Earlier on during Hour 2 and 3 were now just a Memory in the Surviving Riders Minds who all had One Goal in Mind. Get This Bike to the End of The Race.
Hour Seven and by now the Light was Nearly all But Gone with the Last Rays of Sunshine Disappearing Entirely from the Tops of Druids and yet Despite this now disadvantage i terms of Having a lot less light The Riders Still Continued to Push Hard and Fight their was To Victory in the Closing Stages as the Race Reached its Climax.
The Final Hour was Finally here and Every Rider who Had Been Concentrating Hard all Day was Now in a Position to Push Hard for that Final Hour of Glory that would mean the Difference Between either a Race Victory or a Race Loss. As The Minuets Slowly Ticked Down and The Last Light of Day Had been Long Extinguished from the Circuit. it was the Team of (Delkevic Racing's Liam Marchant / Gary Johnson / James Edwards and Luke Scott who took a Resounding Victory after 232 Laps and a Gruelling 8 Hour's of Racing 2 For Each of The Riders.

“Rising from the “Peak” Knowing where the sun will rise is an advantage. 10 miles out, this peak was a difficult one to “line up”. Topography is king and controls where and when I can do this kind of alignment.
An amazing sky that morning. Lots of good captures from it :). Getting in the right position in early twilight is sometimes interesting driving in the dark off road in the backcountry.

Keynote Address - Knowing What We Don’t Know
Consumer adoption of technology is outpacing our understanding of how to use that technology to deliver our clients’ messages. The same is true of our industry as a whole: technology outpaces understanding. In his keynote presentation, Frederic Joseph, Chief Digital Officer at ZenithOptimedia will share his view to better align advertising with how it is transacted as well as how it is delivered.

Not knowing anything of the flora of New Caledonia I tried to identify some of the astounding species growing on former Nickel mined sites during a very brief tour in Novemeber 2017. From photos I thought this plant may be Guettarda glabrescens but thankfully "Ben Caledonia" identified it as a member of the Genus Argophyllum - seven species of which are found in New Caledonia. Argophyllum is a genus in the Argophyllaceae family comprising around eleven species of shrubs and small trees. They feature alternate, simple leaves, often silvery white underneath. They occur in Australia and New Caledonia, where some species are nickel hyperaccumulators.
The soils of the the southern part of the main island (Grande Terre Sud) are characterized by high levels of iron (Fe), low pH (5-6), low fertility (low phosphorous, potassium and calcium), high exchangeable magnesium/calcium ratio and high concentration of the trace elements nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr) and manganese (Mn). Leaching concentrates iron and chromium oxides in the lateritic surface soil. The subsoil is rich in Nickel, Chromium, Manganese and other heavy metals are abundant in the volcanic rocks that form the south the main island of New Caledonia - known as Grande Terre Sud.
The incredible diversity of flora on the Grande Terre is both a function of isolation and soil type. The mega-continent of Gondwana started breaking up around 120 million years ago with Africa and South America separating off. Around 80 million years ago New Zealand and New Caledonia started to break away from Australia and finally, about 50 million years ago, Antarctica separated from Australia. New Caledonia experienced neither the aridity of northern Australia nor the glaciation of New Zealand. The vegetation that evolved to grow on the ultramafic rocks began around 30 million years ago.
These ultramafic rocks are heavily leached by annual rainfalls that exceed 200 mm/a in the south and 400 mm in the north. Leaching of the weathered rock leaves soils that are are low in pH and high in elements such as Nickel and Chromium that are generally lethal to plant growth. Mining exacerbates the situation as the topsoil is removed in mining baring the subsoil. The vegetation that has developed is known as marquis - botanically diverse comprising a huge diversity of plants, including many gymnosperms, that have adapted to this harsh environment.
