#AlphaTrainingRecap: Hier je vous parlais de l'intérieur de la Station, aujourd'hui on en sort. Les sorties extravéhiculaires sont des moments emblématiques des missions dans l’espace. Pendant quelques heures, on devient soi-même son propre vaisseau spatial ! Mais ce sont loin d'être des promenades de santé pour autant. Chaque EVA (pour Extra Vehicular Activities) demande énormément de préparation, de la part des équipes au sol et pour nous à bord. Il faut apprendre les gestes techniques bien sûr, écrire et vérifier un grand nombre de procédures normales et anormales (pour parer à toutes les éventualités), mais aussi entretenir, adapter et préparer les combinaisons et les équipements, s'assurer que les scaphandres sont étanches (très important !), les enfiler (et aider son partenaire à les enfiler), et enfin mettre à l'épreuve en conditions réelles l'entraînement reçu en piscine 🏊

#AlphaTrainingRecap: Yesterday I talked about training in the interior of the International Space Station, today we go outside. A lot of our training time was spent on EVAs, or Extra Vehicular Activities, or spacewalks for you and me. From checking spacesuit sizes to ensuring they are airtight (very important!) to the procedures of putting them on and helping Aki put them on and finally putting all of the training to the test in the pool. We don't think of going outside as a walk in the park!

Brayford Pool in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Brayford Pool is a natural lake formed from a widening of the River Witham in the centre of the city of Lincoln. It was used as a port by the Romans who connected it to the River Trent by constructing the Foss Dyke Canal and the area has a long industrial heritage.
The Pool has been the focus of Lincoln's urban regeneration since the early 1990s. It is now overlooked by bars, restaurants, a cinema and, most significantly, the University of Lincoln. The only reminder of the past is the Royal William public house, a traditional pub housed inside a listed building. The Pool is used as a marina by houseboats and pleasure craft, as well as by anglers and kayakers.
It has long been a favourite place for mute swans. Mute swans are one of the UK's largest birds and they can grow up to about 1.5m high. Although the mute swans are usually silent, they do make a loud hissing noise when they are angry and young swans make a high-pitched whistling noise.
They breed upstream on the River Witham, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but are attracted down to the Brayford Pool area by food provided by passers-by. The number of swans usually peaks in the autumn and can be anything up to 130 birds. In recent years the swans have moved out of the city along the River Witham.
Mallard ducks, Coots and Moor Hens can be found in the area as well as the less commonly known Muscovy ducks, native to Central and South America but brought to Europe by explorers in the 16th Century. The strange looking ducks have been immortalized to a degree with a ground floor suite named after them in the University’s Main Admin Building.
Other birds seen around the Brayford include the pied wagtail, kingfishers, mallards, moorhens, coots, and herons. There are at least five different types of dragonfly, whilst the fish in the Brayford include roach, common bream, tench and pike.
Plants that can be found along River Witham include common species such as reed sweet grass, branched bur-reed and red mace, the much rarer arrowhead and flowering rush along with great water dock, skull cap and wild celery. A common tree along the riverbank is the Alder.

Beautiful Image of Ender Falls. I was around this location for a different shoot and when that didn't pay out I turned to this location. I'm glad I did ...
The falls weren't as fierce, but nonetheless, they were still beautiful.
This is a pool I found on Saint Joseph Island, it is on Richardson Creek in an area called Kentvale.
About the Photo
*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF-S 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 IS *Shutter Speed: 1/4Sec. *Aperture Value: F/11 *ISO: 100 *Focal Length: 18.0mm
I shot this on a tripod using mirror lockup, a polarizing filter, and a 2Sec. selftimer. I processed the image in Photoshop CS4.
Phone by the pool...but there is no longer a pool and doesn't look like there has been one there for a while.
RNTS Shotley (HMS Ganges) Swimming Pool.
Long past its best days, one off my bucket list though.

Devil's Pool is a small (about 10x10ft) area of relatively calm water just at the edge of the Victoria Falls. I didn't know anything about it before going to Zambia. And when I knew about it, I had to have the experience.
It was one of the most awe inspiring experience ever! Imagine, only few ft away is 110 meter drop. Imagine all the roars and thunders of the falls. Imagine swimming there. Imagine the pull towards the edge.
(I had to sign a paper stating that I was totally aware of the danger to life and they were not responsible for anything)
Amber Cove on the Dominican Republic coast, is a private port created by Carnival.
It is used exclusively by their cruise ship passengers and those of their sister companies, including Holland America and Princess Cruises.
The port includes shops and a large outdoor pool area.
I'm back at a familiar place: the garden and pool at the monthly T-girl party that I always visit. It's not that warm today so all other girls are indoors but it's still nice to go outside, get some fresh air and make some nice Flickr pixies.

This one took quite a bit of processing to achieve, as I didn't follow standard procedure to create it. Normally, you would position the camera in one spot with a tripod and take multiple exposures, insuring you had enough depth of field and shutter speed to capture the action clearly. You then layer the images and "paint in" the motion from each frame. In my case, I was using a telephoto lens and was tracking the subject, so my images were not overlapping. Luckily, Photoshop is powerful enough to help you align layers, and then using some other tools I was able to get the image I wanted. Not the easiest method to obtain this result, but it worked.
