How Did You Do That

Here's a shot taken on the 6th night of my SW trip. It was really late and Wayne and I where trying to squeeze in as many locations as we could before he had to head back to Salt Lake for a flight home. We hit this spot and immediately started setting up the lighting, It seemed that after shooting together for a short time we managed to work out a great procedure to prevent spoiled exposures do to a headlamps being turned on during an exposure, and after an hour or so it seemed like we had been shooting together for years, we were snapping away and not having any difficulty stepping on toes so to speak. The first night we were shooting together at the Kiva, Wayne had kindly offered to let me use his 6D since he would be using a new Nikon 810a and it was a tempting offer, and now that I think about it, I probably should have, just to say I had a photo taken with Wayne Pinkston's camera. But I was determined to see it through with my 70D so I really push the ISO on this shot and extend my exposure time as there would be less movement in the MW at this angle. The milky way was really high in the sky at about 2:00am which makes for a bluer sky and at this angle I didn't have to fight with light pollution. I was able to capture this shot at my camera's maximum ISO setting and It is a single exposure at 4000k white balance. All of the night photos from this trip I have been varying the white balance so that I could establish a white balance I like the best. :)
We used "LLL" to light the scene here.

...as last holidays. Every time since the little pier of Hvidbjerg Strand has been constructed I have to creep under the building to take a shot. It has become almost an obsession. Needless to say that this exercise is more convenient in Summer and times of low tide. Blavand, Jylland, Denmark

Pink shamrock (Oxalis debilis var. corymbosa ) is regarded as a minor environmental weed in Queensland, and as a "sleeper weed" in other parts of Australia.
I have just had cataract surgery,
my vision is very limited.
Cataract surgery
This is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the world. The surgery involves:
Administering a local anaesthetic to the eye(s)
Making a tiny 2–3 mm incision in the outermost layer of the eye (the cornea)
Making an evenly round incision in the ‘bag’ (capsule) containing the affected lens
Breaking up the affected lens into smaller pieces with an ultrasound
Removing these pieces with a vacuum and flushing the lens capsule to clean it
Inserting and accurately positioning a clear artificial replacement lens (known as an intraocular lens or IOL).
The new lens can’t be felt once placed inside the eye. When a lens is replaced, it is not possible to develop another cataract.
The operation itself takes less than 30 minutes and can be performed in a day surgery or in hospital.
Right eye 3rd November 2022.
Left eye 9th November 2022.

The image was made in a sand-lime brick factory near Roding. The factory was built in 1909, directly on the railway line Nuremberg-Furth im Wald.
The blanks were produced in presses and transferred into the hardening boiler. These were operated with 200 degrees hot steam and 16 bar pressure.
This procedure initiated a chemical process hardening the sand-lime mixture.

The same procedure as every year ... "Look, what a beautiful little tree ... come on, let's cut it off and slowly kill it in the dry apartment and when it's no longer nice, then we throw it in front of the door, someone will take care of it" ... 😈

Everything went well yesterday. The procedure itself was extremely painful because of the diverticular disease in my colon but I am glad to report that it was nothing nastier than that - phew!
Came home and had a cuddle with the cats and all was well again.
Blimme it is cold here today. Minus 5 when I came out of the house this morning.
Happy Furry Friday everyone
Wishing you a warm and cosy weekend
Same procedure as every year:
At the end of the years, I want to show a few of my old slides again:

MÁV-Start launched its public procurement procedure for 115 new electric locomotives in February 2020. The result was announced two years later, in 2022, and the winner was Siemens with its Vectron locomotives. The contract was signed in the same year. But in May of the following year, Lázár János, Minister of Construction and Transport, cancelled the order for political reasons, and the government no longer expects Siemens to help with the renewal of their locomotive fleet. As is known, the expansion of the Paks nuclear power plant is currently underway, the control system of which was to be supplied by Siemens, but the German government did not give permission to the Siemens company to participate in the project with Russian participation due to the invasion of Ukraine. Then the twist came in 2023, when MÁV announced: they will lease 24 piece of Siemens ES64U2 locomotives from Akiem through MÁV Rail Tours, and by the end of 2024, there was growing talk that the railway company had not given up on Vectrons, however, not by purchase, but by renting. The numbers were about 20-30 pieces and ELL was chosen as the lessor by MÁV officials. The first locomotives (193 210, 193 214, 193 216, 193 227, 193 230, 193 723) arrived in Hungary in the second half of January 2025, where they received the current State Railways livery and were prepared for passenger services. On February 2025 the locos were put into service, mainly on the Budapest - Miskolc and Budapest - Békéscsaba lines. The picture shows the 193 214 running between Mende and Sülysáp stations (HU) on 17 February 2025, with the IC 78 “Muntenia” from Bucharest to Budapest.

The tours with Ken's Tours are well organized and prepared for emergencies. They have procedures to evacuate tourists for emergencies or claustrophobic anxieties. They DO NOT ALLOW tripods, monopods, or selfie sticks. They have apparently had problems with tourists.
This is an amazing place. Every turn shows a new amazing, colorful, glowing, canvas. It was easy to take lots of photos. The tough part was culling the photos when I got home.
There were 10 people (representing 5 groups) and a guide in our group. The tours are a little under an hour from start to finish. The sent us in about 10 minutes apart. The guide is very informative and educational. There was some pressure to keep the group moving. The guide was helpful and took pictures of us several times during the tour.

The Navajo name for Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdez twazi’, which means “the spiral role arches.” Lower Antelope Canyon is about 3,704 feet in elevation and the canyon walls are about 120 above the streambed. This canyon is more narrow to walk through, as it’s shaped like a “V”, so if you are claustrophobic this area is not for you. It goes into the slot canyon and you have to maneuver thru closely on stairs, which is harder to walk through. This area is also located within the Le Chee Chapter of the Navajo Nation, near Page, Arizona.

Lubrication information tag hanging from the speed-control pull-chain of a mid-to-late 1950s-vintage Fresh'nd-Aire air circulator (the Successor to the Fan, as the tag boasts), about 2½" (63.5mm) tall. (I haven't yet posted a picture of the unit by itself, but it can be seen here; it has long since been relocated since I took that shot.)
I'll confess...even though this fan (sorry, air circulator) sees regular summertime use, I hadn't lubricated it in about fifteen years. Back when I first put it in service, I lubricated it with synthetic automatic transmission fluid instead of the oil recommended on the tag. Over the years, I noticed no performance loss. Since I had the unit apart on my workbench to clean off the accumulated dust inside and out before the photoshoot, I gave the bearings fresh squirts of ATF to keep the air circulator going for many years to come..
By the way, I couldn't help but search the address on the tag to see what became of the factory. It is now the site of an apartment building.

Excerpt from the plaque:
Spring and Autumn Ancestral Worship of Clans
During the Spring and Autumn Ancestral Worship, some clans still chant the worship orations and the invocations in the Wai Tau dialect 圍頭話 when directing the clansmen through various rituals. The Wai Tau dialect is the main dialect of the indigenous residents of the New Territories. It is still used for communication Punti (original locality 本地) villages by clans with a long history and to conduct “the ritual of chanting procedures” at weddings, celebrations and worship ceremonies.
🇫🇷 Suivant la procédure habituelle des Seldjoukides, une basilique chrétienne sur le site fut convertie en mosquée après la capture de la cité en 1080. Une grande partie des matériaux de constructions et de la sculpture architecturale sont des remplois de la basilique et d'autres monuments byzantins voisins.
Reconstruction majeure de la mosquée en 1219
Le minaret, le mihrab de marbre (1891) datent de l'Empire ottoman.
La cour de la mosquée comprend deux mausolées monumentaux
la tombe décaèdre avec le toit en forme de cône : lieu d'inhumation de la dynastie seldjoukide qui abrite les sarcophages de huit sultans de Rûm

🇪🇸 Tras el habitual procedimiento de los selyúcidas, con la conquista de la ciudad en 1080, se convirtió una basílica cristiana en una mezquita. La mayor parte del material de construcción y las esculturas arquitectónicas procedían de la basílica y de otros edificios bizantinos próximos.
En 1219 se llevó a cabo una reconstrucción más amplia de la mezquita.
El minarete y la mihrab de mármol (1891) son de origen otomano.
En el patio de la mezquita hay dos monumentales mausoleos.
El Zehnfingergrab mit dem kegelförmigen Dach ist die Begräbnisstätte der Seldschuken-Dynastie, die die Sarkophage von acht Sultanen von Rûm beherbergt.

🇮🇹 Seguendo la consueta procedura selgiuchide, la basilica cristiana presente sul sito fu convertita in moschea dopo la conquista della città da parte dei turchi nel 1080. Gran parte dei materiali da costruzione e delle sculture architettoniche furono prelevati dalla basilica e da altri monumenti bizantini nelle vicinanze.
Nel 1219 fu importante ricostruirla.
Il minareto e il mihrab in marmo risalgono all'Impero Ottomano (1891).
Il cortile della moschea comprende due mausolei monumentali.
Il primo è una tomba decagonale con il tetto a forma di cono, luogo di sepoltura della dinastia selgiuchide che ospita i sarcofagi di otto sultani di Rûm.
Il secondo mausoleo fu iniziato da Kay Kâwus.
Ma rimase incompiuto alla sua morte.
Same procedure as last time. Still going through the archives and still finding images worth processing. Again a first version, tomorrow or at the weekend I'll take a final look and do a print to see if I need to refine.
This year we went to the same place but the light didn't come close to what I saw that morning, one year ago. I will try again next year :-)
cheers
Edit: fixed the saturation a bit. Now it's more natural I think
