COLBOC FRANZEN & ASSOCIES

Le design particulier du centre de quartier L’Arbrisseau est mis en valeur par son revêtement en aluminium non traité et en verre. Les fenêtres ouvrantes transparentes offrent différentes vues. Les fenêtres translucides, protégées selon le principe de l'éco-conception, créent différentes qualités de lumière. Ils garantissent des conditions visuelles et thermiques optimales été comme hiver.

 

The particular design of the L’Arbrisseau neighborhood centre is emphasised by its untreated aluminium and glass sheathing. The transparent opening windows offer different views. Translucide windows, protected according to the principle of eco-design, create different qualities of light. They guarantee optimum visual and thermal conditions in summer and winter.

After an offer of a cab ride while they loaded the last half of the train, they blasted off from the loadout. I recall they said they very rarely saw railfans at the time. Seems I chased to the Cow Springs curve and opted to swing by Monument Valley that afternoon and end up in Helper UT that night!

Katharine Docks, situated on the east side of Tower Bridge, is a tranquil oasis that offers a variety of dining and leisure activities. Despite being located close to the Tower of London; this serene location has managed to maintain its peaceful environment. St Katharine Docks has a rich history, dating back to the 12th Century, and continues to serve as a bustling hub for boats, as well as a popular destination for locals and tourists to unwind and have fun.

 

St Katharine Docks took their name from the former hospital of St Katharine's by the Tower, built in the 12th century, which stood on the site. An intensely built-up area, the entire 23-acre (9.5 hectares) Precinct of St Katharine by the Tower and part of East Smithfield, was earmarked for redevelopment by an act of Parliament, the St. Katharine's Dock Act 1825, with construction commencing in May 1827. Some 1,250 houses were demolished, together with the medieval hospital of St. Katharine. Around 11,300 inhabitants, mostly port workers crammed into unsanitary slums, lost their homes; only the property owners received compensation. The scheme was designed by engineer Thomas Telford and was his only major project in London. George Turnbull and James Waylen were working for Telford. To create as much quayside as possible, the docks were designed in the form of two linked basins (East and West), both accessed via an entrance lock from the Thames. Steam engines designed by James Watt and Matthew Boulton kept the water level in the basins about four feet above that of the tidal river. By 1830, the docks had cost over £2 million to build.

 

Telford aimed to minimise the amount of quayside activity and specified that the docks' warehouses (designed by the architect Philip Hardwick) be built right on the quayside so that goods could be unloaded directly into them.

 

The docks were officially opened on 25 October 1828. Although well used, they were not a great commercial success and were unable to accommodate large ships. They were amalgamated in 1864 with the neighbouring London Docks. In 1909, the Port of London Authority took over the management of almost all of the Thames docks, including St Katharine Dock. By the 1930s the only regular use was by ships of the General Steam Navigation Company.

 

St Katharine Docks were badly damaged by German bombing during the Second World War. All the warehouses around the eastern basin were destroyed, and the site they had occupied remained derelict until the 1960s.

The dock entrance lock was rebuilt in 1957 but the docks ceased commercial use in 1968. The remaining wharehouses on the western side were demolished to make way for redevelopment.

  

Ford offered a 5cwt Van version of the Ford Model Y from 1932 to 1937 with the 933cc sidevalve engine. In 1936 Ford commercials adopted the name 'Fordson'. The Model Y was developed into the English-designed Ford 7Y 8hp in 1937 and a 5cwt Fordson Van was based on this model.

Elk Mountain offers sub-alpine vegetation, with superb views. It is moderately challenging year-round destination for hikers in the Abbotsford, Chilliwack area, and can be enjoyed in a half or full day excursion. In the distance is Sumas Prairie, part of the eastern Fraser Valley, with the Coast Mountain Range on the horizon.

A late eastbound Zephyr offered me a chance to scratch off another bucket list location. There's an angled truss bridge that goes over the UP Falls City Sub [ex-MOP] just off the cluster of interstate bridges at what UP calls Summit. Because of that situation, there isn't any quick way to access this spot: I parked about "2 blocks" away, hopped a fence, and walked beside/under the interstate interchange. The shot is pretty tight with some junk on either side of the tracks, but it still framed up pretty nice for a tight crop on the scene.

The summer time offers more light to chase the Manchester Turn out of Cedar Rapids, on duty 17:00 during the week. While traffic has really hit the dumps with the virus stuff going on, the Cedar Rapids corridor has stayed steady for the most part. Even enough traffic this week for a 2nd motor to find it's way to CR. With that being the case we chased the Friday night job out of town with a decent set of CN power. Here the job tops the grade near MP 6, a few miles north of Ryan as the shadows get long on their northbound trip. At Manchester 567 will trade trains with 565 who is working west out of Dubuque.

In my previous article, like many photographer, I was very excited about the release of the new R6 and R5 because they offered tremendous advances.

www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/50209737163/in/dateposted/

 

I bought the R6, the Canon RF 100-500mm and sold everything to buy again a 5D mark III

Why? Because the Canon R6 is also that:

 

1) Delivery of the RF – EF Adapter Ring offered by Canon has arrived 60 days after purchase. Fortunately, my nice store went out of its way to lend me one.

Many customers have suffered this and it is scandalous on the part of Canon not to have integrated the ring in the original box.

 

2) Prepare to pay (and I'm not even talking about new RF lenses)

- a very fast and robust SD card to enjoy the burst like the Sony Tough SD

- Resistant, I used Lightroom 6 box. To read new raw CR3s, you need Lightroom Classic

- To make the photos look like a Canon Picture Style you need a quality color profile, thank you to Damien Bernal for your recommendations

www.colorfidelity.com/

The choice of an L Bracket is complicated with this screen, Tom Migot has devoted several videos to it.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA25FyekVKY

The R6 is with High ISO but if you want a very clean result, Denoise by Topaze is the best Tool , So, one question: Why have I never needed it before?

www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/51296276233

This photo at 12800 iso will be almost unusable on 5D Mark III but never forget that the easiest and most beautiful thing is to take pictures when there is ... light

- The second battery is essential. It is difficult to say how many pictures you can take with one battery but I advise you to double your battery park as well as the charging time.

For years, I shot without ever thinking about the drums with a second in the bag never used.

 

3) The ergonomics of the R6 disappointed me and brought nothing

- The grip is worse than before. However, I have small hands and the handle seems too small to me. Those with large hands have their little finger in the air and some props even sell a base to add.

I wore for years a 5d Mark III with a 300mm 2.8mm IS II sometimes by the tips of two fingers to tell if the whole thing was balanced.

- The SD card door opens only by friction. There is still a small slot to slide a nail with difficulty, but the 5d Mark III and IV opened more easily with one hand.

The adjustable screen has never been useful to me because its tilt to the left of the device is not practical and even less with the L bracket

Touch has never been useful to me, in the field physical buttons are more practical

 

4 / A user experience that sometimes disappoints:

- Eye tracking stalls when it is too complicated in the foliage. Does the ultimate portrait of your dreams with a subject against a pretty background require this technology?

- In billebaude if you take your camera back, it will sometimes take a while before everything turns on again. Several times I had to turn off the R6 completely because the autofocus didn't know where it was.

- You see a beautiful sunset, you take your R6, you put your eye in the viewfinder and there… disappointment. Why not keep looking in our good old DSLR?

 

5) The rendering of R5 and R6 is often very different in appearance compared to DSLR.

More so if you mount a native RF lens.

Is it the technology or the level of detail that wants this? The shots often appear to be very artificially separated, and natural colors like grass are sometimes strange. I know you can change everything in PP, but all of this bothers me and takes me away from the pictorial and cinematographic universe.

My daughter came home from school with a drastically different school photo than I saw for a decade, I got it, the canon photographer (my daughter had asked a few years ago ;-) had bought an R6 or R5 and the schoolyard became a bit strange as « Gattaca ».... Advantage for Eye AF, it’s tea time for him ;-)

 

6) Let's talk about goals.

The photos of a Canon hybrid with an RF lens that I have seen in recent months made me want to buy a Canon EF 85mm f1.2 II 1 month after the R6. I'm not sure that was the goal. from Canon that we buy back the EF lenses that we had sold second-hand.

www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/50806574161

 

Canon did not lose everything because, to get Canon cash back, I exchanged my Canon EF 300MM 2.8 is II before the summer of 2021 for an RF 100-500mm ...

Why did I do this?

Fear of obsolescence and maybe a follow-up helped by an abundant marketing hype which made me give in and go against my convictions of never buying a zoom because the rendering really has nothing to do with a focal length fixed premium… I sold it 1 month later.

 

The bottom line of this financially not very pleasant operation is that, as in many areas, if we have the feeling that things will not be in our best interest, it is better to abstain ;-)

 

What will I miss most about the Canon R6

Focusing in low light, your 85mm 1.2 will get a facelift

Staggering stabilization from 100-500mm net to 1/50 th to 500mm

The focus on the eye, clearly the majority of wedding, sports and animal photographers will never want to go back, I understand them, this is a decisive advantage over the competition

And especially the advantage of having the collimators close to the edge unlike the DSLR

 

The burst and the endless sorting it generates, the swiveling screen, the touchscreen, the wifi, the gps, I will miss less.

 

I don't think I’ll buy again this excellent 300mm 2.8 IS II.

 

I still got the magical 135 mm F2 and 85mm 1.2 , my next wildlife Canon Lens will be a prime EF, surely excellent, not too big (price too) because I take my equipment everywhere, repairable I don't know ...

www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/47688762631

 

Every day, especially since the digital and the Internet, our so-called user-friendly world becomes unnecessarily more complicated and deliberately consumerist.

 

The R5 and R6 are good cameras and Canon has really caught up to the competition but it's not my direction.

 

The 5D Mark III is 2012, a century after 1912, my favorite year, in which I have been preparing a photo for a very long time.

 

What if Canon EF finally became a way of life.

The last light at Balian Beach.

Located in the wooded hills of the Wood Mountain Uplands, the community of Rockglen is central to an area rich in Indigenous and archeological history. It is a full-service community that offers a variety of businesses and facilities to its residents and visitors alike. The town and surrounding area provide endless choices for recreational activities including boating, hiking, touring, photography, hunting and a variety of local events.

Vestiges from before the last ice age, a land of hidden treasures, petrified wood and fossils, hammers and arrows of the Assiniboine, Plains Cree, and Blackfoot peoples. But it is the followers of Sitting Bull who left one of the strongest impressions. Following the Battle of Little Bighorn 5,000 Lakota Sioux Lakota fled to the Wood Mountain Uplands where they were under the jurisdiction of the North-West Mounted Police under the command of Major James Morrow Walsh. The hills, first surveyed by the Henry Youle Hind expedition in 1858, were used for hunting by day, and at night fires could be seen of meat being smoked. In 1879 the U.S. Cavalry set fires in Montana that spread and burned the grasslands of Rockglen, causing the ensuing famine and leading to the toponym "The Burning Hills".

 

It is in these Burning Hills where the Ferbane ranch was located. By 1910 the homestead became a post office, soon German and Austro-Hungarian settlers built homesteads out of tar paper shacks and sod huts. Wood building were built for businesses, such as the pool hall, which also contained the Wesley Methodist church, which became the Wesley United Church of Canada in 1925; Valley City became an unofficial community.

 

To the north the Kent homestead became a post office in 1915. Soon thereafter Beromé Prefontaine built a store and by 1917 Joeville, named for Joseph Prefontaine, was founded as a village. In 1926 Joeville was a prosperous community when the Canadian Pacific Railway constructed a rail line south from Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Alberta Pacific both built elevators along the line. Joeville split into the French community of Liseux near the new elevators and 26 buildings were moved south to the new CPR junction near Valley City. Valley City was relocated north of the tracks and incorporated as the Village of Rockglen in 1927.

 

Services were soon established in the tiny village. Mr. Sproul ran a school out of the Pinking Hotel on Centre Street. It was a community effort with desks and blackboards furnished by local carpenters and fundraising organized by Mr. Sproul. To the relief of Centre Street commerce a proper school house was built in 1928. It had three rooms: Mr. Preston as principal and two classes instructed by Miss Campbell and Miss Jarvis. In 1929 the Red Cross built a hospital, and a permanent post office was built, as was a branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada, and Charlie Switallo’s hardware store, which was the longest running Rockglen business to date.

 

Electric lighting was provided from 1929–1950 by the Rockglen Power Company, which ran every day from dusk to midnight, when three flashes indicated shut down. It wasn’t until 1950 when the Saskatchewan Power Corporation came to Rockglen that full 24-hour 120- and 240-volt electric service came to Rockglen.

 

The depression caused rural decline which was furthered by mechanization of agriculture during the later stages and in the time following the Second World War. Nearby Constance and Strathcona were dissolved and the one-room rural school houses were replaced by a system of buses and Bombardier tracked vehicles for winter use. Rockglen grew to a population of 500 persons when incorporated as a town with L. J. Bolster elected the first mayor. During the 1960s a new school was constructed, as well as a new post office, school office, Imperial Bank of Canada, and hotel.

 

The late 1970s saw a rise of inflation, combined with exceptionally high grain prices; many farmers retired and moved into Rockglen. In 1975 construction began on the Poplar River Power Station in nearby Coronach commissioned in 1981. 1981 also saw the construction of a new Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator. This is currently the last elevator in Rockglen and is owned by Poplar Valley Producers Co-operative. The resulting population influx had led to development of homes along Second Avenue and construction of Hillcrest Drive. To date, these are the newest housing developments in Rockglen. In 1988, Rockglen resident Jack Wolfe was elected as a Progressive Conservative Member of Legislative Assembly a position in which he served until 1991.

Amsterdam offers millions of spots worth to be photographed. This is just one of them.

What a thrilling place to visit and probably to live in.

 

wundervolles und vielschichtiges Amsterdam. Tausende von Motiven gibts dort.

Photographing on mostly cloudy days always offers the potential for surprise. Sure it may remain cloudy with flat light, BUT occasionally a whole in the cloud layer allows direct light to flood through. Such was the case on a four day backpacking trip through a remarkable mountain range in Wyoming. If I had to choose between photographing in conditions pictured here or a vibrantly colored sunrise/ set, I'd take these conditions each and every time. Hope you enjoy! Feel free to visit my website to see more new work (www.michaelbollino.com). A new batch of fall images are coming along. I plan on posting those to my site by next week. Thanks!

Say bye bye winter - starting my South England series today :)

The Old Harry Rocks are one of the top drone-spots in the UK but unfortunately the wind was way too strong to fly that morning. Turns out the white coast has some awesome 'normal' perspectives to offer as well :)

High up, above the Sella Pass in the midst of the Sassolungo Group, there is a new via ferrata that has a lot to offer. The via ferrata is located at the rocky base of the Fünffingerspitze and runs along a ridge up to the Langkofelscharte. The via ferrata is not very long, but some challenging passages provide adrenaline.

Offered for sale in Tucson for $9500.

When Galileo offered his opposers the chance to look into the telescope, many of them refused. They thought that that instrument was a trick of the Devil, a deceit to our perception to drift man away from the way of Truth - away from God. This so-called argument had been used so many times - e.g. when the opposers of the theory of evolution claimed that the Devil put bones and skulls of stranger antediluvian beasts into the rocks to deceive man - to demonstrate the mighty powers of unreason. I really cannot grasp how people can maintain such stances today but, well, this happens all the day, so this could be a limitation of my own little mind. However nobody can deny that that rough telescope - together with Van Leeuwenhoek's primitive microscope - was the beginning of a revolution in our way to look at the world and understand it. The scope of our (admittedly augmented) senses spans now from elementary particles to the remotest regions of space and time, including along the way that awesome marvels that we call cells.

That said, this humble shot portraits a coin operated telescope (a rather pompous name, but I am aware that many people love them, and there is even a group in Flickr dedicated to them) in Montisola, Lake Iseo, Italy*. I must admit that I have not looked into it (just like Galileo's foes...), but I loved the strikingly fresh view on the world offered by its external metal shell - especially how it creates two images of myself: one could go at work as usual, and the other could leisurely wander capturing photos all the time ;-)

This wonderful refuge does more than offer a playground to many bird species. The white-tailed deer in here are so sheltered by the tall grasses. They have prescribed hunting weeks here each autumn and the surrounding farm fields are well-stocked with deer blinds. Yet, these beautiful animals persist. Good thing.

Offered once again as a comparison to the preceding image of Amtrak 662 which was captured at nearly the same angle over 23 years later. Amtrak 916 leads a regional consist east through Edison, NJ. Based on the time of day and consist, this may have been train 95, the Old Dominion. Back then trains still carried names, although the "Northeast Direct" designation (a precursor to today's Northeast Regional service) did appear in the timetable as well.

A reboot with new data of a target I have previously looked at.

The previous target was pretty but I felt it lacked all the detail the target had to offer so added an additional 30 HA subs from the RH to help realise that. Small percentages but makes a lot of difference when reviewed in detail.

It also allowed me to resolve the ICC mismatch issues my PC suffered after recent updates which caused all sorts of issues on my last image!

 

NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus. The complex encompasses the emission region designated Sharpless 171, and the young cluster of stars named Berkeley 59. The complex is believed to be some 800-1000 pc distant, with the younger components aged no more than a few million years. The complex also includes one of the hottest stars discovered within 1 kpc of the Sun, namely BD+66 1673, which is an eclipsing binary system consisting of an O5V that exhibits a surface temperature of nearly 45000 K and a luminosity ~100000 times that of the Sun.

Most of the cars offered at the auction were in a relatively good shape. But some 15 cars were in a terrible condition, mostly caused by corrosion. I wonder what the value could be for the potential buyer. Spare parts? Garden object?

 

Since 1926 Chrysler Corporation used the Imperial series for its larger models. In 1955, Imperial continued as an independent brand without the Chrysler prefix in the name.

This Imperial was designed by Virgil Exner (1909-1973).

Chrysler engines were also used in the bigger French Facel Vega.

This Imperial was one of the cars that was in a very bad condition.
