Operator 9 is on the line.
Two Bowens Esprit 500 W/S monolights--PC sync to the key light with the fill slave automatically triggered upon fire. On the left of the phone, at about an 8 o'clock angle, I shot through a white umbrella which was about the same level as the subject. The second (fill) light was higher up and maybe 6 feet away at a 5 o'clock angle, shooting into an umbrella facing a wall. The fill bounce off the wall diffused it pretty well overall and allowed me to bring out the gross, vintage-looking, olive-green background a bit more. I still have no idea what I'm doing, but I like the results of this experiment.

Kingsburg Historical Park, Kingsburg, Ca.
Taking some pictures of artifacts today for the historical society.
You know you're gonna be thinking of this oldy:
The real question was what kind of a macro can I shoot to capture the true essence of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma or even Echoes. I was thinking something with a standing wave but maybe a project for a later date.
I didn't think the PF thing was going to pan out and my attention soon turned to a little old phone I have. It's a nice old phone, it keeps the old piano company, they share dust. So, making it's debut as an image for Macro Mondays, Lockdown Song, Operator and accompanied by a Jim Croce song of the same name. You just can't go wrong with Jim Croce songs.

El Tungurahua
Al Volcán Tungurahua, 5,023 meters (16,480 ft) above sea level.
Perched on a hilltop behind Baños, just beyond the village of Runtún, this grassy viewpoint is a photographer's dream.
On a clear day like this one, I could see Volcán Tungurahua behind me.
*I am at 2,660 meters (8,727 ft) above sea level TODAY.
**Climbing to the Tungurahua Volcano Summit, 5,023 meters (16,480 ft) above sea level tomorrow and the next day (2:00 am to 7:00 am).
***
In the Sierra region passing from the Cordillera Oriental, in the central pits the active volcano Tungurahua stands out whose cone rises to the south of the deep gap that the Pastaza has broken, following a transverse fault through the Cordillera Real near Baños . Since the day of its most recent eruption, in September 1999, the Tungurahua Volcano has become the most beautiful and impressive tourist attraction in Ecuador, and perhaps, throughout Latin America.
The Tungurahua volcano is known as "mama Tungurahua".
The province of Tungurahua has the name of this colossus, which houses in its skirts towns such as Baños, presents a unique spectacle, although it announces to the villagers its greatness and destruction in the case of a strong eruption. It is a sight to see volcano activity at night.
From different cities in the provinces of Ecuador, they move to know this tourist place. Many times holidays are provided to be able to do tourism throughout the territory.

This is what happens when someone pushes the wrong button on an industrial oven to racks of plastic trays full of meat products. Instead of steam cooking the product, the operator selected roasting....at much higher temperature

Operator, could you help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
Guy, she said she knew well and sometimes hated
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
But let' s forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I' m fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels
Operator, oh, could you help me place this call?
'Cause I can' t read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time
I think about the love that I thought would save me
But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels
No, no, no, no, that's not the way it feels
Operator, well, let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Oh, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime
But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels

TUGBOATS, SEA IMP X towing SEA IMP III
I noticed the operators and deck hands preparing these two tugs to leave the dock. When they finally pulled away Sea IMP III connected to the back of SEA IM X.
My guess might be, they were saving fuel while traveling to their evening work destination,
Both tugs, if you look close, are connected by a tow line, and about to head down the Fraser River.
Mission Train Bridge
Mission
British Columbia, Canada
The Mission Railway Bridge is a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge spanning the Fraser River between Mission, and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
Replacing an earlier bridge built in 1891, which was the first and only bridge crossing of the Fraser below Siska in the Fraser Canyon until the construction of the New Westminster rail bridge in 1904, it was constructed in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Mission Railway Bridge is supported by 13 concrete piers and is approximately 533 metres in length. Before completion of the Mission highway bridge, highway traffic to and from Matsqui and Abbotsford with Mission used the bridge as a one-way alternating route, with traffic lights at either end to control direction. Rail traffic often held up car crossings, causing long and often very lengthy waits, which were a part of daily life in the Central Valley until the new bridge was completed.
Beneath the bridge's north abutment is an important river-level gauge monitored during the annual Fraser freshet. The bridge is also the location of the end of the Fraser's tidal bore - downstream from the bridge the river is increasingly influenced by tidal influences from the Georgia Strait.
Swing span
The Mission Railway Bridge has a swing span which has a vertical clearance of 4.9 metres above the water when closed. The swing span is fitted atop a circular concrete pier, the 10th from the north bank of the river. The 10th pier is protected from shipping traffic by two 46 metre wood piers extending upstream and downstream respectively perpendicular to the bridge which are tapered at both ends. The navigation channel past the bridge is 30 metres in width. At night a fixed white light is displayed on piers 9 and 11 as well as at the up-river and down-river ends of the protection pier.
The majority of marine traffic consists of log tows and gravel barges, which are permitted to use the navigation channel beneath the fixed span between piers 5 and 6. The swing span is used for wood chip barges and other vessels which cannot navigate beneath the span between piers 5 and 6.
CPR maintains a bridge tender 24 hours per day at an office on the north bank of the bridge. Vessels requesting passage through the swing span contact the bridge tender on marine VHF radio, whereby the tender walks the bridge to a control booth situated on the swing span.
Happy Clicks,

I finally figured out what bothered me about the operators I've made in the past. No camo on helmets or vests. It just didn't flow without it. So I painted some helmets and vests, and here we are, something I can finally be satisfied with

A quick fig, I really like how it came out, expect some Star Wars and Modern/Futuristic figs and maybe scenes?......
Tell me what y'all think!
Oto out
In mid May I attended a workshop at Valle Verzasca in Switzerland. A weekend for photographing rocks and water.
Expect not much else for the next few days.
Bit of a foggy start to the day in London this morning. This shot was taken at 6.30 looking towards HMS Belfast, with Tower Bridge in the distance.
Having experimented for a few weeks with a neutral density setting on my phone, to try and make water look smooth, the Thames actually looked very smooth on this very still morning with just a 1/3 second exposure.
Cedar Waxwing, Bombycilla cedrorum. Lifer for me, during a Texas Master Naturalist Bird Hike. Really too small/distant for a good image, and probably the focus (if any) was elsewhere. Call it “painterly”. If I ever get a good shot, I’ll post that.
😃 Happy Sliders Sunday!
Old divisions belong to the old world. Spend not a moment more quarreling over them. What is done is done, so much more still to do. Allow yourself to let go of derogatory terms and ableist language.

Hard to forget
It's hard to go on
When you fall asleep
You're out on your own
Let go of your life
Grab on to my hand
Here in the clouds
