It's the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it's the little differences that make them interesting. Todd Ruthman~
A pair of 1960's buses but at that point the similarity ends. No. 140 on the left is from Porto, Portugal, is a trolleybus built by Lancia in 1967 for right-hand driving. No. 1357 is 1962 built Leyland Atlantean PDR1/1 diesel bus, built for left-hand driving in Sheffield UK. Porto 1540 was only on static display but 1357 had been used for the Isle of Axholme tour.
I’m always on the lookout for a perching Buzzard, so I can have a chance at a close shot, and must have taken hundreds of photos of likely looking birds - only to find when I zoom in on the camera screen that I’ve captured yet another broken off tree bough (must get to Specsavers). But this time, it really was a Buzzard. I was so excited! The only slight problem was, as you can see from this uncropped photo taken with a telephoto lens, it was a long, loooong way away. The tree was actually in someone’s back garden and I briefly considered the idea of walking round and knocking on their door and saying, “So sorry to bother you, Complete Stranger, but would you mind me tramping through your house to take a photo of a bird?” but decided against it.
There was a hillside graveyard and, below it, a wide field of crop stubble surrounded by trees between me and the Buzzard. I managed to clear the graveyard at a running crouch, without startling too many mourners, and entered the field. Now, I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to move quietly over dried crop stubble and dead leaves, but it’s a bit tricky. The Buzzard was still perched, looking all around, but I knew he wouldn’t be there long so my dilemma was: stealth, or speed? I managed a compromise with a high-stepping lope, but had only circled half of the field when the Buzzard and his mate – who was also perched, but hidden from view - took off. They flew low over the field, but of course my camera settings were for bird-against-a-blue-sky and, by the time I’d fiddled about changing them for ground shots, they were both up in the blue sky! And way, way up, before I managed to change the settings back again. I turned, tilted the camera to the sky and took a few shots, even though I knew they wouldn’t be very good. But I was too embarrassed not to by then, as I could see, out of the corner of my eye, that I’d successfully managed to gather a small audience up at the graveyard.
I styled it out though, on the way back, stretching my lips into a ‘that’s one to put in the bank’ grin. I even nonchalantly took a snap of a Robin perched on a gravestone on my way out which, ironically, turned out quite good (if a little burnt out by the fact I was still on ‘sky’ exposure).
The Eames side chair paired with the vintage George Nelson Action Office 1 roll top desk. This seems like a more appropriate matching compared to the DCM I was using before.
This is an example of the stereo image pair that will spray-glue on the front of a stereopticon. This view west of Rock Creek is from the Taylor Overlook past the end of route #330.With the stereopticon slide layouts finished, I set out to create the hand made greeting cards for the same stereo pairs. The morning dawned clear and by sunrise I headed over to the closest overlook to shoot the the dawning on Meeker, Longs and the Divide. If it had not been for the tremendous chasm cut by Rock Creek Taylor, would have extended much farther to the west. The chasm is skinny because of the size of Rock Creek. At Ferncliff, one can simply hop over the stream at many spots. Here past the end of F.R. 330, the overlook rolls around to the west and south, leaving a tremendous view of Copeland, the Divide and Mahana to the west above Rock Creek. Here is a slightly different view. I waited for the sunlight to fill the cliffs across the chasm: I was shooting with the stereo jig at the same time.
