From Wikipedia:
Earthshine is reflected earthlight visible on the Moon's night side. It is also known as the Moon's ashen glow or as the old Moon in the new Moon's arms.
Earthshine is most readily observable shortly before and after a New Moon, during the waxing or waning crescent phase. When the Moon is new as viewed from Earth, the Earth is nearly fully lit up as viewed from the Moon. Sunlight is reflected from the Earth to the night side of the Moon. The night side appears to glow faintly and the entire orb of the Moon is dimly visible.
Arose early and a long day of bus travel from Banteay Chhmar to Siem Reap. In the grand scheme of things, it was a comfortable ride watching the traffic unfold.

The platforms were transported from fabricator Met-Con Inc. in Cocoa, Florida. They will be stored in the VAB, where they will be used for processing and checkout of the engines for the rocket's twin five-segment solid rocket boosters for Exploration Mission-1. EM-1 will launch an uncrewed Orion spacecraft to a stable orbit beyond the Moon and bring it back to Earth for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. Photo credit: NASA/Bill White

Infinite Geometry
Infinite Geometry (Andy Reed) has been an audio alchemist for the past 10 years. His main focus has been his visionary art for the past few years (www.facebook.com/infinitegeometryart), but another passion of his has been electronic music.
He is currently based out of Asheville, NC and plays shows occasionally around the southeast US, as well as doing special timeslots in the Vision Lab multi-sensory art dome or early sunrise sets at renegade stages at music festivals.
He first began attending electronic events and raves in NYC at age 14, when living in northern NJ. He quickly drew very fond of the subculture that revolves around these highly intelligent and somewhat alien soundscapes. At age 17, he bought belt-drive Numark turntables and a 6 channel mixer from Radioshack. Everyone needs to start somewhere, right? His gear has been updated a lot since those days, having Technic 1210 M5G turntables and a vast collection of vinyl. Most of his recent music is in digital/mp3 format, but he is known from breaking the mold and dropping those warm vibrant analog sounding beats and bass.
Over time, he grew a deeply fond love of liquid jazzy drum and bass, in which he still plays regularly at shows now and again. As time progressed, so did his love of different genres. Currently, his sets include multi-genres including psybient downtempo, psydub, templestep, IDM, dreambass, post-dubstep, 2step & future garage, minimal atmospheric dnb, funky tribal house, and many others.

The Astoria-Megler Bridge recedes in the distance as we begin the hour-long leg from Astoria, Oregon's, West Basin marina to the Columbia River Bar. There, it's an overnight run on the Pacific Ocean to Neah Bay on the northwest corner of Washington State.
Here, I'm securing the fenders and the fender lines before heading out onto the open ocean. Even with a good forecast, you bring in all the dock lines and secure everything on deck.
You never know when sea and weather conditions might turn on you, and the last thing you want is a line getting loose and wrapping itself around your prop.
This photo shows my method of securing items that need to remain on deck. I'm sure traditional sailors and perhaps even Eagle Scouts would know all sorts of knots that would hold a line fast to a rail in a raging storm. For my part, I use cable ties. Lots of 'em. Easy on and, with clippers, easy off.
Another maritime tradition bites the dust.

you can't see it well, but i've shaved down the power cord's end to fit snugly into the original round hole. i liked that solution better than routing out a square hole in the backplate.

Secure the Bag, Mint the Soaps and Throw the Bones is a site of exchange that aims to recontextualize the intricate histories of the brown paper bag and Hispano cuaba soap while inviting the audience to play a game of dominoes. This is based on the artist’s ongoing examination of these items found in private and domestic settings. Nonetheless, their combined racialized, colonial and social complexity reverberates in the customs and dynamics of collective space within a black diasporic subjectivity and imagination.

Over the span of summer, I've been wanting to secure a space for the Nikon in my kit by replacing my 50 1.8G for a "super 50mm" lens. I've been comparing the 58, the sony A7+ZA55 combo and the Sigma 50ART as candidates. Although the 50ART and the ZA55 rate many times higher than the 58 almost everything, I still went for the 58 for the way it renders life and from images I've shot with it (these are the first ones), it's plenty sharp for me. There are clearly no such lenses in the dSLR world that has autofocus and the rendering quality of the ZM C Sonnar 50mm f/1.5 (despite its field curvature problem) aside from the 58.
The way it brings the subject into the frame and the way it makes the background go wild in such interesting yet smooth yet undistracting way (so many ways) is perhaps the one reason why this lens exist and for those who truly understand its purpose can create images of the unique (all of this with the usual 2000$ Nikon lens goodies of Nanocoating and optical magical colors etc...)
Now to use this lens, you absolutely need an AF system that needs to keep up with it. Since the lens has the strong design intentions of Haruo Sato (well respected lens designer at Nikon), most of the emphasis has been put on balancing correction (aberations, glow) with rendering (colors, bokeh, etc) and has resulted in a very short depth of field focus zone that needs to be nailed wide open. I was fortunate to have the D750 to calibrate the lens with (it took a week or two to get it perfectly right to an absurd number).
If you are new to 50mm lens, by all means go for the 50 1.8g or go for anything else than this pricey one. You buy the 58 because you have tried all and you require the lens to accomplish something specific in which not many lens company has had the guts to make in this day and age of high technology, in this case bokeh rendering.
There is something fascinating about the ropes used to tie up boats. They have character, and strength, texture, and, colour.
I really wanted to secure a photo of Tucuman Parrot so I carefully approached this one which was silhouetted against a burning white sky. Even at +1 EV the bird was basically black until I pulled detail and colour out in Lightroom. After getting this image I pushed my way slowly uphill through fairly thick brush until I was level with the target, framed beautifully against the lake. I took a deep breath, paused and was about to take the best picture of Tucuman Parrot ever, when another parrot slammed into this one and they were both gone in an instant. I actually teared up in frustration.

A series of electronically controlled gates and doors made this the most secure entrance to Alcatraz. The door could only be opened from the bunkerlike control room. Here, behind three-inch-thick, bulletproof windows, a guard controlled teh entrance and the prison's arsenal of tear gas, pistols, rifles and submachine guns. Near the entrance are the weapon vaults, along with the offices for the warden, associate warden, and captain of the guard.
The main cell house on Alcatraz Island was the largest steel-reinforced concrete building in the world when it was built in 1912. Designed to hold up to 600 prisoners, it was the brainchild and pride of Major Reuben B. Turner, construction engineer and first commandant of the military. Central steam heat, skylights and electricity contributed to its reputation as a model, modern, facility.
Like any other structure on the island, construction presented challenges. Material and equipment had to be shipped in on barges. Mixing cement, the main building element, required fresh water not naturally available on the land. Labor was largely provided by unskilled inmates.
Like prisons within a prison, four free standing cellblocks stood within the cellhouse so that no cell adjoined an outside wall or ceiling that a prisoner might tunnel through. Before it assumed its role as a maximum-security lockup, tool-proof bars replaced the flat, soft-steel barriers of the military prison and gun galleries were built at either end of the two main cell blocks.
Alcatraz Island, a 22-acre island located 1.5 miles offshore in San Francisco Bay, has served as a lighthouse, a military fortification, and a prison. In 1972, the island often referred to as The Rock, became a national recreation area operated by the National Park Service as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) and is currently open to tours.
The island was first discovered in 1775 by Spaniard Juan Manuel de Ayala, who charted the bay and named it "La Isla de los Alcatraces," or "The Island of the Pelicans." The island's earliest recorded owner is Julian Workman was the island's earliest recorded owner, given it by Mexican governor Pio Pico in 1846 to build a lighthouse. Following the acquisition of California in 1848, the United States fortified the island for positioning of coastal batteries. When the civil War broke out in 1861, the island mounted 85 cannons (increased to 105 by 1866) and served as the San Francisco Arsenal. Alcatraz never fired its guns but was used to imprison Confederate sympathizers. In 1867, a brick jailhouse was built and in 1868, Alcatraz was designated a long-term detention facility for military prisoners--a role it prominently played during the Spanish-American War.
After the 1906 Earthquake, civilian prisoners were transferred to Alcatraz, and the facilities were slowly expanded at the beginning of the century. Construction on Major Reuben Turner's huge concrete main cell block was completed in 1912. The Fortress was deactivated as a military prison in 1933 and transferred to the Department of Justice, becoming a Federal Bureau of Prisons federal prison the following year. During its 29 years of operation, the penitentiary claimed no prisoners had ever successfully escaped--36 prisoners were involved in 14 attempts; 23 were caught, six were shot and killed, and three were lost at sea and never found. Alcatraz held such notable criminals as Al Capone, Robert Franklin Stroud (better known as the "Birdman of Alcatraz"), George "Machine Gun" Kelly, James "Whitey" Bulger, and Alvin "Creepy Karpis" Karpowicz (who served more time at Alcatraz than any other inmate).
Far more expensive to operate than other prisons, Alcatraz was closed on March 21, 1963 by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. From 1969-1971, the island was occupied by a multi-tribal group of Native Americans, culminating in the Trail of Broken Treaties.

The Eastmoor site housed 160 young offenders in its operational heydey; being created in the wake of the Reformatory Schools Act 1854. The Industrial Revolution saw the population of England's cities grow at an unprecedented rate. There was a subsequent increase in poverty and the Victorian workhouses were filled with new inmates, many with children who had no vocation or hope for the future. A potential lifestyle for desperate youths in such an unfortunate situation would be one of crime - reformatories like these sought to remove children from that path.
