I was trying out a new photo blind in the backyard near my feeders. All of a sudden the small bird took off. I felt the wind off this guy's wing as he crossed the backyard about the same time I noticed the shadow.
Great back end on this radio. I just love the large automotive fins and tail lights. Less rocketship and more 1957 Chevy or Chrysler.
These rear, plastic tail lights rarely survived - either falling out or being pulled out, depending on the type of usage the radio had to endure.
Lolxury!
It is needless to say, NIKKOR 14-24 is the greatest wide-angle lens of the century, it is sharper than ever before. Look at gentle yellow line on the bottom of the chart, this lens never merge any other lines.
But how about Canon? The chart tell all. Perhaps Canon cares only big white cannons. Please don't forget wide-angles which I loved. Anyway Canon win only PC-E vs TS-E. I feel the L letter is cursed. Look at 17-40/4! This cheap lens beats 16-35/2.8 II. lol They cannot make grading either.
I like 24mm. I like sharpness. I want to know which is best. GANREF have many lens data but these are different ratio and I cannot compare directory. So I picked up these data and combine them on Illustrator CS4. They are using DxO analyzer for Blur measurement. Believe it or not this is actually measured by optical device, not someone's eye.
Dear Canon, I know you are busy for make money, but please make a decent wide-angle zoom lens, and hopefuly I want to see Canon's 14-24 by any chance. The glass is always sharper on the other side but this is too much.
I used to have 16-35/2.8 II once but I sold my copy because it was too crap. Now I have only 2,8/21, 14-24/2.8, TS-E24/3.5 II. I don't have EF zoom so I should add 17-40/4 I guess, it is cheaper and lighter, at least it is better than 16-35/2.8 II except slow abit.
Bodies?
They said 5D2 has been used to measure the lens of the Canon and Sigma. D700 for Nikon, respectively.
What does BxU stand for? How can you compare different body?
DxO labs explain here.
"BxU is covariant to rescaling, changes of resolution, etc… This means that it is possible to compare BxUs from digital cameras having different numbers of pixels, different sensor-pixel sizes, different sensor sizes, ..."
So this chart will helps you when you believe DxO labs is reliable and BxU is a science. If not, just ignore this chart.

I found this Sharpie eating a house mouse early one morning. You can see the mouse head in the hawks mouth.
For the time being, Sharpes are actually running stage carriage work following the demise of Premiere. They're running the 50, 56A and 56B.
The 50 offers vital connections for those living in the remote parts of South-West Nottinghamshire, offering two daily return trips Monday to Saturday between West Bridgford and Colston Bassett, calling at Gamston, Tollerton, Cotgrave and Owthorpe along the way.
22CDX pulls away from Central Avenue in West Bridgford with the afternoon 50 back to Colston Bassett, with the state of the art display in the driver's windscreen....
...although I wish the IMAGE was a bit sharper.
Would someone out there consider (if you're not using it of course) giving me their 100mm f2.8 L IS lens? I'd really give it a good home :)
- www.kevin-palmer.com - I just barely made it to Cholla Garden in time for sunrise on a clear morning. The sunlight may look warm, but the temperature was in the 20's. Cholla cactus have a fuzzy and glowing appearance when they are backlit by the sun. You have to watch where you're going on this trail because if you barely brush up against a cholla, they seem to jump out and attach themselves to you.

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

Modeling the black & gold "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!
Best on your hero's journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy! :)
Falling in love with the full frame 36 megapixel e mount Sony A7R!
The books behind the pretty goddess on the Malbu bluff and surfboard are The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon, Homer's Iliad, Homer's Odyssey, Shakespeare, and Herman Melville's Moby Dick! My favorite books! Will have some video of the pretty model reading them beside a campfire soon.
They're all collectors editions! My books cost as much as my surfboards!
And for those who always ask, I shoot in RAW! Always! :)
Wearing Daisy Dukes cutoff blue jeans! She wore blue jeans and a rosery, she believed in God & she believed in me! & she thinks I'm a little crazy. :)

Unusual vehicles to find in Nottingham are Sharpes who run a lot of contracted school runs in the region.
This Van Hool looks immaculate, given its at least 26 years old!! Seen taking schoolchildren to Nottingham High School.
Sharp made some great looking radios back in the late 1950's. This is one of them in my opinion. I really like the reverse painted dial on the right with the contrasting light blue and the darker/navy blue "hour glass" shaped design.
Most often the speaker grilles were perforated metal but this utilizes a plastic lattice grille.
This is also a pretty well made radio. It's very hefty and solid.
Can also be founded under the Invicta brand name. (same model number)
Oh BOY! I now have shot a real bird...not on a branch..not on a bird feeder BUT sitting in my front yard when I went to feed my cats this AM!!!!!
Have no idea who or what she is and she stayed for 4 shots only AND duh I just watched her fly off and did not shoot????
I had no idea what my camera was on I just prayed she stayed for a few seconds and that this turned out...guess what it was on last time used worked?
There is an additional shot below as an afterthought but a couple contacts beat me!
Anyone know who she is?
Let me know how I did on this shot....please!
Happy Thursday to everyone today!
This is the same Sharp-shinned Hawk as the one pictured in the previous photo. Here, though, he's showing how to make a lot of noise. I guess this picture does show its tarsus whose configuration gives the Sharp-shinned Hawk its name. Whether this bird's tarsus is rounded or sharp I leave to you.
Thanks for stopping by. Please feel free to correct any of my IDs and to offer suggestions and observations. Take care of yourselves.

This vehicle from Sharpes Coaches of Nottingham, was leaving Dover Eastern Docks while on its way back from Europe, and is another one where I bothered with it because it was colourful-ish.
As I was driving away I spotted this hawk and managed to pull over and had to lean out my truck window to get a few photos.
I hadn’t bought a transistor radio for over two years until this one came my way recently. I suppose I’ve become a bit more selective and will only pursue the special or hard to find models.
The Sharp BH-552 fits that description.
Released in 1959 as Sharp’s homage to the Space Age and the Western world’s automotive obesssion. You can spot the rocket and car influences when you browse these photos.
This set was marketed as the “Tranket” which is an abbreviation of TRANsistor and rocKET.
The seven transistor BH-552 is an AM radio. Its companion radio, the BH-551 included a shortwave band.
The large, chrome “cone” section acts as the tuning section. Right behind it is the dial followed by the fuselage and two rear automotive fins and tail lights.
