Spent most of today wrestling with music technology and getting to know my new software. For the techy-minded I’m running Pre-Sonus Studio 4 Artist Edition with external VST support add-on so that I can run Guitar Rig 5. I imported a bunch of old WAV files and put some guitar and vocals on top as a way of working some of the intricacies of the software out. Nothing fit for public consumption yet, but I’m setting myself the target of recording at least one song a month next year so that I end up with an album’s worth.

This is to illustrate how I make some of my photos, like the omniwheel chassis or Batman's tumbler.
Another picture like this: Ice9 multilayer.
The basic needs for this technique are a tripod, a dark room and some kind of light you can move around. It's absolutely vital that the camera DOES NOT MOVE.
I use a small desk light to get light from all kinds of directions. The bare minimum for me is about 30 pictures, because you never know how a picture might turn out. I try to light the model from every angle, sometimes reflecting it off a piece of paper or positioning it right behind the model.
Once you have plenty of pictures, it's off to the editing room. Using Photoshop*, I adjust the pictures. Most of the individual pictures get darkened a lot, so only the bright highlights show up. I also use Photoshop to add color to the lights where necessary. The pictures are placed on layers on top of eachother, most of the time using the 'screen' blending mode. This keeps all the light areas intact, and the dark areas transparent.
The end result is that you've got much more liberty tweaking and adjusting all kinds of different lights from different sources, without getting out of your seat.
*Or GIMP where necessary

No doubt there are many advantages to in-person photography groups, but let’s face it: the Internet has opened a whole new world for sharing and discussing photography. In many respects cyberspace is the perfect media for images. In fact, it was the evolution of the Internet from text-only communication to text PLUS images that catapulted it from a place inhabited mostly by academics and techy people to a world that encompasses the whole world.
The current success of one photo-sharing community in particular has proven that photographers from many countries, with all sorts of backgrounds, with all skill levels, love communicating via images. Let’s see, what’s the name of that community?…. Oh yeah, FLICKR.
Why do people love such photo sharing communities? Although there’s always a technical learning curve when entering a new online environment, the software infrastructure, when well designed, makes it easy to upload, label, organize, comment on, and search for images. Good technical design also includes many of the features that make any online community successful: the ability for group discussion as well as private communication, profile pages for presenting your background information and establishing your online identity, interesting places for people to gather, social networking features, and, most importantly, your own personal “space” within the community that you can shape to reflect your personality and interests.
People also love these communities because of the PEOPLE. Research in the new field known as psychology of cyberspace or “cyberpsychology” clearly shows that online relationships and groups can be very meaningful additions to a person’s life. I first discovered this years ago when I was a member of the Palace avatar community. This research taught me that an online lifestyle, in some ways, is very similar to your in-person lifestyle - and in some ways it is very different, especially in communities that emphasize images. Cyberpsychology has uncovered some fascinating questions that inhabitants of Flickr encounter every day:
- What do people’s photos and images say about them?
- Do they express their “real” identity in their images?
-What should I reveal and not reveal about myself in the images and comments I post?
- What are the ambiguities and miscommunications that tend to happen when people express themselves with images, and with typed comments?
- How do I react when people reply to me and my photos with positive or negative comments? What does it mean if I get no response at all?
- Why am I drawn to some people, photos, and groups, and not others?
- What does it take to feel like I BELONG to this community?
- Is it possible to get “addicted?”
Participating in a photo sharing communities can help you evaluate yourself as a photographer. As you observe a wide range of photographic styles, techniques, and skill levels, you’ll get a better sense of your own strengths and weaknesses. You’ll get a better sense of where you want to go with your work. When communities like Flickr provide features that enable people to comment on and rate images, you can gather tangible information about how “good” your photography might be – although it’s often wise to take view counts and rating systems with a big grain of salt. Online communities can be complex, confusing places, with many different subgroups and subcultures, and no simple way to predict how and why they react to each other the way they do. To benefit the most from photo sharing communities, take what makes sense, seems useful, and feels good - and leave the rest.

Now some where I put down down a bowl of strawberries that I was going to have for my afternoon tea.
techy info/ update
The Sony A1E has a time lapse function hidden in the menu and the stills are captured to a memory card.
Whilst you haven't as much control as you would have with a timer on a DSLR, the A1E is silent. The last thing you want is a DSLR clicking away all night in the next room.
The time lapse was shot in a vry large cupboard and lite by an interfit light that lo energy bulbs .
the Pan/zoom is post-processed in after effects . i think the stills started life as 1440 by 1080 [HDV] and the video 720p

Air fete 1987 at RAF Mildenhall, I was lucky to see a SR71 Blackbird fly, and this is just as the beast begins to thnder down the runway.
Now the techy stuff:
The Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird" was an advanced, long-range, Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance aircraft.[1] It was developed as a black project from the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft in the 1960s by the Lockheed Skunk Works. Clarence "Kelly" Johnson was responsible for many of the design's innovative concepts. During reconnaissance missions the SR-71 operated at high speeds and altitudes to allow it to outrace threats. If a surface-to-air missile launch was detected, the standard evasive action was simply to accelerate and outfly the missile.[2]
The SR-71 served with the U.S. Air Force from 1964 to 1998. Of the 32 aircraft built, 12 were lost in accidents, though none to enemy action.[3][4] The SR-71 has been given several nicknames, including Blackbird and Habu, the latter in reference to an Okinawan species of pit viper.[5] Since 1976, it has held the world record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft, a record previously held by the YF-12.
The SR-71 was the world's fastest and highest-flying operational manned aircraft throughout its career. On 28 July 1976, SR-71 serial number 61-7962 broke the world record for its class: an "absolute altitude record" of 85,069 feet (25,929 m).[8][71][72][73] Several aircraft exceeded this altitude in zoom climbs but not in sustained flight.[8] That same day SR-71, serial number 61-7958 set an absolute speed record of 1,905.81 knots (2,193.2 mph; 3,529.6 km/h).[8][73]
The SR-71 also holds the "Speed Over a Recognized Course" record for flying from New York to London distance 3,508 miles (5,646 km), 1,435.587 miles per hour (2,310.353 km/h), and an elapsed time of 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds, set on 1 September 1974 while flown by U.S. Air Force Pilot Maj. James V. Sullivan and Maj. Noel F. Widdifield, reconnaissance systems officer (RSO).[74] This equates to an average velocity of about Mach 2.68, including deceleration for in-flight refueling. Peak speeds during this flight were probably closer to the declassified top speed of Mach 3.2+. For comparison, the best commercial Concorde flight time was 2 hours 52 minutes, and the Boeing 747 averages 6 hours 15 minutes. Former SR-71 Pilot Brian Shul and author of the book Sled Driver: Flying the World's Fastest Jet referenced the top speed of the aircraft as actually unknown. In his words, "At max power the aircraft would continue to accelerate at any speed and no pilot ever maintained full throttle beyond reaching speeds necessary to avoid any threat". It's his opinion the aircraft would simply continue accelerating until eventually flying apart.[citation needed]
On 26 April 1971, 61-7968 flown by Majors Thomas B. Estes and Dewain C. Vick flew over 15,000 miles (24,000 km) in 10 hrs. 30 min. This flight was awarded the 1971 Mackay Trophy for the "most meritorious flight of the year" and the 1972 Harmon Trophy for "most outstanding international achievement in the art/science of aeronautics"
When the SR-71 was retired in 1990, one Blackbird was flown from its birthplace at United States Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, to go on exhibit at what is now the Smithsonian Institution's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. On 6 March 1990, Lt. Col. Raymond "Ed" E. Yielding and Lt. Col. Joseph "Jt" T. Vida piloted SR-71 S/N 61-7972 on its final Senior Crown flight and set four new speed records in the process.
Los Angeles, CA to Washington, D.C., distance 2,299.7 miles (3,701.0 km), average speed 2,144.8 miles per hour (3,451.7 km/h), and an elapsed time of 64 minutes 20 seconds.[74]
West Coast to East Coast, distance 2,404 miles (3,869 km), average speed 2,124.5 miles per hour (3,419.1 km/h), and an elapsed time of 67 minutes 54 seconds.
Kansas City, Missouri to Washington D.C., distance 942 miles (1,516 km), average speed 2,176 miles per hour (3,502 km/h), and an elapsed time of 25 minutes 59 seconds.
St. Louis, Missouri to Cincinnati, Ohio, distance 311.4 miles (501.1 km), average speed 2,189.9 miles per hour (3,524.3 km/h), and an elapsed time of 8 minutes 32 seconds.
These four speed records were accepted by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA), the recognized body for aviation records in the United States.[76] After the Los Angeles–Washington flight, Senator John Glenn addressed the United States Senate, chastening the Department of Defense for not using the SR-71 to its full potential:
Mr. President, the termination of the SR-71 was a grave mistake and could place our nation at a serious disadvantage in the event of a future crisis. Yesterday's historic transcontinental flight was a sad memorial to our short-sighted policy in strategic aerial reconnaissance.

Apple stores are very well staffed with young techies and security guards. The security, which often includes a police officer, is due to the threat of "smash and grab" robberies, where numerous thieves run into a store and grab all the merchandise they can, then speed away in awaiting vehicles. Only a few have been caught so far. The merchandise is then sold, often online, where marketers and buyers ask very few questions.
