After a hard day of work the local power
goes back to the engine house to rest for another day of switching. ICG Rockford yard November, 1975.
put this together the other day while i was taking pictures for HF.
don't mind the randomness of this layout. i was bored and just wanted to something different.
Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in yours arms, baby
Squeeze me oh so tight and show me
That you love me too
Put your lips next to mine dear,
Won't you kiss once oh baby,
Just a kiss goodnight and maybe
You and I will fall in love
People say
That love is a game
A game, you just can't win
If there's a way I'll find it someday
And then this fool will rush in
Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear baby
Words I wanna hear, tell me
Tell me that you love me too
Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear baby
Words I wanna hear baby
Put your head on my shoulder
Dedicated to the one I love..Kiss John:)
This is an article from approx. 1963 by Norman Rothschild discussing the Konica Domirex camera, which was prototyped but never put into production. The camera was a 35mm SLR, but used an unusual mirror arrangement to eliminate the need for the mirror to flip up out of the way prior to exposure. It's still an "SLR", although it looks more like a rangefinder camera. The reason is that a "single lens reflex" camera, by definition, uses a mirror to reflect light that's passed through the single lens into the viewfinder. The advantage of this is that the user sees exactly what the camera is "seeing".
Rangefinder and viewfinder cameras use an optical system that's parallel to, but separate from the lens. The problem with this (there are advantages, too) is that when you swap out different focal length lenses, the viewfinder doesn't show the change in the angle of view. Various auxiliary viewfinders, or adjustable framing brightlines within the camera's viewfinder, or "auto-up" optical attachments have been used with RF and VF cameras over the years, to solve this problem. Another problem with viewfinder cameras is parallax error, which occurs increasingly with closer and closer focusing situations because the user and the camera are viewing the subject on slightly different optical axes.
Twin lens cameras solve some of the problems by having two lenses: one to take the image, the other for the photographer to view through. Of course, this means buying and carrying around twice the optics.
Plate film cameras solve the problem by allowing direct viewing of the image, through the taking lens, displayed upside down and reversed on a ground glass on the back of the camera, prior to inserting the film pack. This means working more slowly putting the film in place manually, and often having to view the image under a dark cloth, nearly always with the camera securely mounted on a tripod.
While all of these are workable and sometimes even preferable, all of the methods have their drawbacks.
So, the single lens reflex or SLR camera allows you to view right through the taking lens, so you always see "what the camera sees". By using a pentaprism (penta-mirror in some cases) above the mirror, the image is right side up and not reversed, too! Granted, this adds a lot of mechanism to the camera, more moving parts that have to get out of the way during exposure and then return quickly to position so that the photographer can see to take the next image.
The Domirex explores using an array of tiny mirrors that are fixed but combine to reflect part of the light passing through the camera, redirecting an image to the viewfinder through a fairly traditional pentaprism. By definition it's still an SLR.... But without the usual moving mirror parts. This serves several purposes. First, it eliminates momentary blackout of the viewfinder during exposure and , considerably reduces the number of moving parts in the camera. It also eliminates camera shake from the mirror movement (sometimes called "mirror slap", for which some cameras offer a mirror lockup or MLU feature). It also makes the camera quieter in operation. Yet it still allows for lens changes and automatically adapts to the use of different focal lengths by allowing viewing through the taking lens.
The Domirex was an interesting early attempt to address several common SLR problems that eventually led to some pellicle mirror design SLRs produced by Canon and others, which also made possible ultra high speed frame rate cameras.
Macromondays: Theme is nuts
This is essentially an out-take, but I liked it. Reminded me of the sun, ejecting plumes of plasma into space.
On Labor Day weekend 2002, I put an avocado seed in a bowl of water with toothpicks to see if it would grow. That same weekend was my father's birthday. During the conversation we had when I called to offer my birthday greetings, we had a watershed moment in our relationship. He passed away almost exactly one year later and I've since associated that avocado seed with this important conversation I'd had with him. Now, four and a half years later, that seed has become a tree which is more than 4 feet in length. In fact, it is on the verge of being too big for our living room. I'm in a bit of a quandary, because I'd love to plant it in the ground, but it wouldn't survive the first Winter in the Northeast. It's getting too big to ship at any reasonable rate, perhaps. Not exactly sure. It has so much meaning attached to it, I don't want to just get rid of it. Any of my West coast Flickr friends interested in having an avocado tree for your backyard? Avocado trees have special significance to me as well, as the backyard of my childhood home in Southern California had two productive avocado trees which my father did a good job cultivating.
(Separately: A coworker told me that Bill Gates has someone to remind him to clean his glasses. After I make my first billion, I'll hire someone to do that for me too.)
This was put together with 93 individual shots. My 2GB of system memory wasn't enough, and the program ran out of memory on the first attempt. I finally had to make the output 1,200px high just to get through the rendering.
It was -6 degrees with the windchill, but it would have been too packed with people had I gone in the afternoon. As it turned out, I spent most of my time waiting for small groups of people to walk into and out of the shot.
After the factory bead sight fell out and was lost I installed an aftermarket Fiber-optic sight and hitting got easier.
Thousands grabbed their American flags, put on their red, white and blue, and celebrated America's independence July 4, 2017, with an Independence Day parade and celebration on the Square, free live concerts, arts and crafts show, food, carnival games and fireworks finale.
