My first attempt to make a field hybrid from original Sinar components in a reversible manner. I used cheap Chinese macro focusing rails to make a 4x5 / 5x7 camera that is easy to carry around. Turns out the whole thing is not as sturdy and combines as much weight as the classic pack, so in the end I had to move on to other ideas... Based on the Sinar Wolf / Alpina concept.
Here you see a detail of how the macro focusing adapters were cut to allow the Sinar F1 front standard to slide in; the original piece on the right was used to fix the front standard in place). On the 5x7 frame I used a screw that would fix together the adapter and the frame (however the whole thing was not really stable for film loading and unloading).
This is a photograph from the 3rd and penultimate round of the 2015 Mullingar Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 20th May 2015 at 20:00. The weather was perfect for running and racing and even an improvement on last week. Bright sunshine with little or no breeze were conditions greeted by all the runners this evening. This seemed to also make the course quicker than last week with many runners recording faster times than the 1st or 2nd round race. This year's 5KM is ran on a modified route based on the route from the last couple of years. The final 1KM is within the Belvedere Gardens bringing runners down to the lakeside for a second time and finishing along the aptly named Stream Of Life. The route modification means that the race offers a slightly faster route than the hill finish of previous years. After tonight all attention turns to the final night of the road league next week.
The race is promoted by Mullingar Harriers for the Pat Finnerty Memorial Cup. Competitors need to run 3 races out of the 4 races in May (any order) to be considered in the overall placing in categories at the conclusion of the league. Runners can also choose to just run one race without being considered for the overall league placings. Over 330 people took part in tonight's event bring the total from the three nights to so far to well over 1,000 runners. As with last week the new finish area provided a nice space for runners to stay around and chat in the evening sunshine. The Mullingar Road League 2015 is now half-way through and has continued successfully and looks to add to the success in the history of this great series. Despite the bright evenings the photographic conditions in Belevedere are difficult so this photograph is part of a smaller than usual photograph set as there were many blurred photographs this evening.
The "Road League" is something of a misnomer but is an indication of the League's origins on the roads around Ladestown Mullingar prior to it's move into Belvedere in 2008. The Road League is the envy of many other races in the country as the Belvedere locations offers a completely traffic free 5KM route.

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Modifications to the Lego Ideas set 21109 Exo-Suit, original design by by Peter Reid & Mark Stafford

Behind the old tractor park on the sea front in Saltburn can be seen the 19th century grade II listed building that was once the Saltburn Mortuary. It was built in 1881 for the victims of drowning (formerly they were taken to the nearby Ship Inn), but ceased to be used for this purpose in the 1960's. It has since been used as a wood store, a photographers, for Tees Valley wildlife trust and even a museum, but now is up for sale as the Council have no use for it
I decided to mess around a bit in Photoshop and 'pimp' my car. Changes include: lowering the car, darkening windows, larger wheel, changing the colour from grey to metallic red. If you wanto see whar the car originally looked like go see 'Car n the beach'
S.E.V. Marchal distributor. Citroen GS X2.
Modification to make adjustment of points simpler.
Cassette points are not set by gap, but by dwell angle. On early versions of the SEV Marchal distributor, adjustment was by removal of cap (and sometimes body, given its location) and to turn the thumbscrew a by clicks in either direction depending on dwell angle required. Later versions had a hole in the body in which a 3mm allen key was inserted making cap removal unnecessary.
Hole viewed from side without allen key.
reel to reel recorder modified, adding a switch to bypass erase head - audio sample: www.davidandree.com/blog/?p=635
SRT has released images of their new Viper badge. I find it too busy to be "read" at very small sizes, and a bit cartoony, so I did a slight redesign.
A series of photos taken in and around the Wholesale District of Downtown Los Angeles, CA. This series attempts to create a portrait of the area through an examination of the architecture and other man-made "modifications" to the area.
The ring that serves as diaphragm/light meter switch in the RC is too thin for my fingers, so I had this bolt screwed on it to serve me as a small handle for the ring, now setting aperture or selecting "A" is a breeze.
El anillo que sirve para seleccionar el diafragma o poner la cámara en posición "A" es demasiado fino para mis dedos, entonces coloqué este pequeño tornillo para que pueda mover el anillo con un solo dedo. Ahora determinar el diafragma o poner la cámara en automático es super fácil.
left side is the "before" version and the right side is after reshaping. Proof that SR seatposts don't have to be ugly!
UPT's riser cover modification, which adds extra magnets in the top flap of the cover. The cover on the left of image is modified and that on the right, standard.

Exploring Photography: This week's topic is "Edited".
My camera takes poor photographs when the light is low....such as at dusk.
This was such am amazing surreal sunset with the rural colors of the dry grass along the dirt road , the vivid saturated green of the cane field , the layered haziness of the mountains in the background, against a pastel sunset. Its was so contradictory that I tried to capture it.
This is the edited version. Its still does not do it justice because you can't see the true tone of the grass.
I tried all the setting I could find on my 'point and shoot' camera, but nope. Low light does not produce the best image.
My camera is a Canon digital IXUS55
The original is along side this picture. It is very dark yet in reality you could still all the colors. I can't wait until I can afford a wacky-do SLR camera that I have more control of the amount of light I can allow in.
Anyway, this is an example of 'edited'. Steps I took to attempt to bring up the true colors I saw.
resize; levels; hue/saturation/lightness; layers and spot editing; sharpen
