Tiny wasp nest - a find on the curtain track

 

Thank you for your visit, favourites and comments!

A castle on a hill where modern waves float through history.

Something is going wrong when the camera with its impressive algorithms and countless AF options forces itself into the centre and, hence, between photographer and object. Ideally, I would think, we photographers ought to use the camera as if it was not there. Just focussing on the composition and the 'essence' of the object and having the settings run in the background. I am not advocating 'point and shoot', I am saying that a camera should be built in such a way that we can 'forget' about it and focus on taking the picture. I think my older cameras do that. My newer ones are much more sophisticated and what they are increasingly trying to do is take over decisions I could make myself. What is my reaction? Number one, I prefer using my older cameras. And two, when using my sophisticated ones, I turn off a lot of their computer-powered procedures. I wonder what you think.

For "Crazy Tuesday" ; theme : "Vintage Technology"

If you ever have a chance to tour a large refinery... do it! The behemoth scale of everything dwarfs humans, yet it all came out of our little inventive minds! It’s an experience never forgotten.

Even all the way out here in a very quiet location...

The biggest security risk in any system is the user.

 

"Hundreds of Westminster insiders were added to - and then deleted from - a WhatsApp group set up by shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick to promote his London Marathon run".

 

In this day and age there should be minimum level of competence with technology to gain access to any position of power or trust, (especially after the U.S "signal app" fiasco).

  

(As we old techies used to say the problem is "BTKAC" between the keyboard and chair).

  

The BBC has been told Jenrick is not referring himself to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which investigates data breaches. (What a surprise!).

In spring, I cannot walk by this point without taking photos

at Ottawa Rockcliffe Airport (YRO / CYRO)

 

c/n 270 - built in 1957 - retired in 1969 and donated to the National Museum of Science and Technology (now Canada Aviation Museum) at Ottawa Rockcliffe (YRO / CYRO)

 

Now the aircraft is inside the museum hangar and can't be photographed that easily anymore.

Sitting on the window-sill and enjoying the low afternoon sun. Illuminated and in sharp focus is the "good" eye, the one I use for photography. The other one plays second fiddle. However, none of them was really involved in taking this self-portrait. It was the artificial eye of the camera in connection with a clever algorithm (automatic eye recognition) that kicked in when I pressed the shutter release (via a long cable). This is one of the situations where camera technology enables me to do things with ease that, if done manually, would have been quite difficult to achieve.

Technology... at your fingertips.

The spokes of a wheel cast their shadow on the wall behind.
