A subtle change in camera position nets the removal of a distracting object and an improvement in the overall scene.

Watch the lower right and you will see a pipe running below the fence line. You will not see that pipe in the other shot. No clone tool tricks. Simply move the camera to let the fence block the pipe.
An added benefit of the new camera position also reveals more of the creek below the dam, enhancing the scene.
I use Microsoft's old, free GIF ANIMATOR program to string together the GIFs. (That's just an .exe and a help file copied to the HD. No "installation" required so it still works in Vista.)

Today I had a lovely chat with a recruitment lady (she contacted me about a part time position I applied for the other day) who made me feel slightly less frustrated about job hunting. I also looked at a bunch of (unsuitable) properties because I'm on the move again. Staying in the area though, hopefully. I'm having to leave my lovely Mansion Block by the park though because living with the spoilt little princess has become unbearable. She failed to pay her full share of the rent this month (through being stupid and stubborn I believe, not lack of funds) and we had a huge row when I found out. It was really rather fun for me, as countering ridiculous ill thought through arguments from stupid people often is. But amusing as it is to highlight her failings, it's not a nice situation to be in for me or more importantly, her brother. I don't want my boyfriend's entire family to hate me just because I wont give in to his big sister's ridiculous demands. So....two girlie types (let's hope they turn out to be bimbos since she clearly can't deal with anyone who actually thinks or acts like a grown woman) will replace me on the contract to save her some money, and I get to move to somewhere smaller with a bit of a garden that Ben and I can call our own. Hurrah. Of course, this dream home of ours is proving to be rather elusive but needs to be found fast...Eek. For some reason, I am still feeling very upbeat about the whole thing though. Yes it's an effort to move again so soon, and there are costs of course, and flat hunting is tedious (the temptation to blow the budget is huge) but I am sure something magnificent will turn up in our price range just at the right time. And I'm far happier to be escaping the princess and her inconsiderate ways now rather than being stuck with her til the summer. Hells yeah! Besides...I wanted a garden all along. It was top of my list of requirements, something I compromised on because she wanted to live somewhere prestigious (and as it turns out more extravagant than she could afford). Well...not for long. Hee. :)
Freshman Abby Schwing (2) and sophomore Ally Lowery (16) converge as Delaware Hayes goalie Taryn Sweeney (orange) retreats into the goal. Taryn's save on this play was not enough to stop the Olentangy Braves from winning 3-1 to advance in tournament play.

The position of this poster made it difficult to photograph. The angle of the windows behind me were such that I was forced to stand directly in front of the poster and block as much of the reflected light with my body – something I normally attempt to avoid. Most of the poster is still visible, even if it has more reflections than the others.

The second assignment in the Strobist Lighting 102, where you vary the distance of the light source from the subject.
Here I am a constant distance away from the background - 5 feet away from a neutral grey wall.
Notice how the background is dark when the camera is close to subject, and lighter as it gets further away. Yes, the light power varies (increases as you move it away) but the exposure of the subject is adjusted by changing the aperture.
Just as David Hobby said it would!!! Something about that inverse square law?? That "the closer you get to the light source, the lighting values change quicker. Move further away, and the distance (think of it as a ratio) becomes less and has less effect."
Very cool. Another "ah-ha" moment.
It's all cool, he's back with us...don't go towards the light Mr Pac! Time to put him in the recovery position and wait for help to arrive.

This is a photograph from the second running of the newly situated Irish 3/4 Marathon (formerly the Athlone 3/4) which was held in Longwood, Enfield, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 8th of October 2017 at 10:00. The event is positioned perfectly in the calendar as a key training race before the Dublin City Marathon at the end of the month. This year was the second year that the event was held in Longwood, Co. Meath which is now well known for its hosting of the Longwood 10KM/5KM annual races and a host venue for East of Ireland Marathon series marathons on a bi-annual basis. The race started and finished at Longwood GAA club just outside the village of Longwood. It followed an anti-clockwise course around the beautiful picturesque countryside of south Meath. The course went through the townlands of Longwood, Castlerickard, Killyon, Hill-of-Down, Anneville and Ashfield Clonard, Blackshare, Stoneyford and back to Longwood. The river Boyne and Blackwater were crossed as was the Royal Canal and the Dublin-Sligo Railway line at Hill-of-Down. Overall this was a very different course to the previous years in Athlone. The overall elevation of the course works out at 3/4 of the total elevation of the Dublin Marathon course. What most stood out about today's race was the course and how the countryside around it looked on a beautiful almost perfect Autumn morning. There was a large local effort with stewarding and many local people watched from their gardens as the race passed by. The organisation of the race was first class with every detail taken care of from the start until the finish. There was some rain showers from about 13:00 onwards but these soon passed.
There is a large set of photographs from today's race - taken at the start in Longwood village and the 25KM mark outside near our home.
They are available on our Flickr photostream at the following set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157687694983023

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!

Property description from Estate Agents
Introducing a truly captivating property, nestled on the corner of Liverpool Road and Ravenmeols Lane, well positioned for local amenities and access to the village centre.
This quintessential thatched cottage presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. With its Grade II listing and the intriguing name "Old Spankers Cottage," this home offers a fascinating past that echoes through its walls. According to the Formby Civic Society, legend has it that the property was once owned by an old woman, a renowned local midwife, who had a rather unconventional way of dealing with mischievous boys who dared to pilfer her apples!
Step inside this enchanting residence, built when squires commanded grand manors and cottage dwellers had to stoop in the upper rooms. However, Old Spanker's Cottage has gracefully withstood the passage of time, embracing modern sensibilities and the desire for taller ceilings. To accommodate this change, local builders ingeniously "raised the roof," in the late 1940s, ensuring that the occupants could stand upright without compromise. Historical extensions to the side and rear further enhance the property, seamlessly blending old-world charm with additional living spaces.
While the exact age of Spankers Cottage remains a mystery, its enduring presence on the corner of Liverpool Road and Ravenmeols Lane is a testament to its longevity. Recorded by Historic England under the listing number 1343283, it is described as FORMBY LIVERPOOL ROAD SD 30 NW (west side) 3/42 No. 38 (Old Spanker's 30.9.85 Cottage) II House. Probably C18 with alterations. Limewashed brick with thatched roof. One storey with attic, 2 bays, with later one storey lean-to bay to left. Ground floor segmental-headed windows with horizontally sliding sashes; attic has 2 gabled dormer windows with similar sashes. Central gabled porch. 1st bay has 2 entrances, one probably to separate store room. Gable-end stacks and coped gables. Right return has small horizontally sliding sash. Low rear wing.
This Grade II listed house showcases a limewashed brick exterior complemented by a delightful thatched roof. A charming central gabled porch welcomes you inside to the ground floor which offers a hallway, a cozy lounge, a dining room, a well-appointed kitchen, a convenient WC, a bathroom, and an additional rear reception room that can serve as a bedroom if desired. The first floor boasts two comfortable bedrooms, including an ensuite shower room.
Outside, you'll discover a charming courtyard accessed from the lounge, providing a delightful space for relaxation. The large sunny west-facing rear garden, accessible from both the kitchen and the rear reception room, offers an idyllic retreat. A paved patio extends from the rear, leading to the driveway and a generously-sized double-length garage. The surprisingly spacious plot is a true treasure for a property of such quaint proportions.
With a discerning eye and some creative touches, this enchanting property can be transformed into a contemporary haven while maintaining its historical charm. Embrace the potential that awaits and bring this extraordinary home to its fullest glory through a process of general updating that suits your individual tastes and desires.

This one was a bit bored and had drawn his feet up in a squatting position, but they don't ride this way :) According to Omanet.om, "The Omanis' love of horses can be seen in the way they deck them out: the neck ornaments, the silver bridle, the sweat cover placed on the back and the undercloth to prevent chafing, the silver collar-piece, and finally the reins."
ABB's new IRBP K positioner features a twin station solution where the robot works on one side and the operator can load and unload on the other side. A screen is fitted between the two stations to protect the operator from arc-eyes.

Erasmus MC's (rotterdam, netherlands) newest lineair accelerator situated in Dordrecht. This machine is used for external beam radiotherapy. External beam radiotherapy otherwise known as teletherapy, is the most frequently used form of radiotherapy. The patient sits or lies on a couch and an external source of radiation is pointed at a particular part of the body. In contrast to internal radiotherapy (brachytherapy), in which the radiation source is placed inside the body, external beam radiotherapy directs the radiation at the tumour from outside the body.
The machine is called: 'Pegasus'

Closed Orbit BPMs
Functionality :
The slow measurement of the X & Z e- beam position in the Storage Ring at 7 locations in each of the 32 Storage Ring cells, thus 224 BPMs around the 844m SR circumference. Each BPM block is rigidly connected to a quadrupole, there are 10 quadrupoles per cell.
The measurement is slow (1Hz rate) but of high reliability, precision and resolution and good reproducibility (for different beam conditions).
Purpose :
The system is used to stabilize the beam position on a slow time scale (i.e. in the DC frequency range) : at about 1 minute intervals the input from the C.O.BPMs is used to calculate deviations from a pre-measured Closed-Orbit (a defined reference orbit) and to effect corrections on the Closed-Orbit by the uses of correctors (96 both horizontal and vertical). The algorithm used is the singular value decomposition (SVD).
At a 1Hz rate the Closed-Orbit measurement is used for monitoring purposes with permanently updated displays informing the operation crew on the present beam stability.
Closed Orbit data is stored at the same 1Hz rate and in case of a beamloss event a 2 minutes history prior to the event is preserved.
Pick-ups, BPM block geometry, fixation, number of stations :
The four pick-up electrodes are 11mm in diameter and symmetrically positioned at 20mm (hor.) and 33mm (vert.) distance in a BPM block with 78 (hor.) and 33mm (vert.) aperture. Each BPM is rigidly fixed to its quadrupole.
The total of number of 224 stations is slightly reduced to 214 since 8 BPMs are dedicated for interlocks purposes, 1 is used for dispersion measurements and 1 is out-of-order due to a defective electrode.
The electrode is a self-consistent brazed piece with male-sma-connector output. Each of the 4 electrodes is welded at the outside to the BPM block. The Pick-Up, its connector and the cable are all bake-out compatible (150C).
Concept / Signal Treatment :
The four signals are processed by 3 dB attenuators and with 352MHz, 40Mhz BW filters before being time-multiplexed by a so-called RF-Multiplexer. This device is situated inside the tunnel and blinded against radiation damage by a 3mm thick lead case, the four 50ohms input cables from the P.U.s are 1m long.
The time-multiplexed signal is amplified and connected to a RF processor outside the tunnel (average cable length is 20m). The RF processor essentially performs down-conversion of the 352MHz signal to 10.7Mhz, amplification, filtering and level detection.
In fact each RF processor possesses two parallel signal chains : a narrow bandwidth and a large bandwidth (1MHz). Only the narrow band is used for the C.O.BPMs, the large bandwidth chain serves for injection purposes or for the so-called Thousand Turn BPMs (see corresponding page).
An ADC is clocked in phase with the RF-Multiplexer so that the four detected electrode signals are converted and stored in local memory. Six multiplex cycles of each 10ms are repeated every second.
The exact timing of the six cycles is determined so to strongly suppress any effect of small AC beam motions (e.g. a 7Hz horizontal motion) through aliasing.
Beam position results (the average of the six independent measurements) are calculated at this 1Hz rate from the four signal strengths in one central VME crate.
Performance :
- The absolute precision (with respect to the magnetic center of the Quadrupoles) is estimated at 50um rms and obtained by the so-called beam-based-alignment technique. With the BBA technique the current in a local quadrupole is slightly modified by the application of a local shunt, and the consequent perturbation to the Closed Orbit is assessed. In an iterative approach, in which local bumps are used to displace the beam at the BPM and Quadrupole, the BPM offset can be determined and corrected for.
- The resolution of the yielded BPM measurement (1Hz) is about 1um.
- The reproducibility at medium time scale (hours-days-weeks) is excellent thanks to the application of the RF-Multiplexer concept.
- The reproducibility at longer time scales (months, years) is mainly determined by external work and maintenance operations like vacuum bake-out, machine re-alignment (twice a year), exchange of vacuum chambers etc.
- The reproducibility with varying beam conditions (and in particular with beam intensity) is attributed mainly to the movement of the BPM blocks due to probably varying thermal stresses on the vacuum chamber and supports. This effect is assessed by Closed Orbit measurements at various beam intensities and, after deduction of the part that can be attributed to pure beam motion itself (harmonic number), a correction is applied to each individual BPM.
