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.

Avec Corda I, sa toiture végétalisée à forte pente et sa façade vitrée volumétrique, la ville de Hasselt a accueilli son premier incubateur. Le projet, destiné à accueillir de jeunes entreprises et startups axées sur la technologie, la haute technologie, les TIC et les nouveaux médias, comprend 14 000 m² de bureaux et propose des installations communes telles que des salles de réunion, un café lounge, un restaurant et une réception centrale. . Le bâtiment a sept étages, des espaces de bureaux multi-locataires et flexibles et, à son point culminant, s'élève à trente mètres au-dessus du terrain environnant.
La conception du centre de services découle d'un plan directeur et d'un campus Corda développé pour l'ancien site de production Philips, transformant cette friche industrielle en un nouveau parc librement accessible
Corda Campus fonctionne désormais comme l'ultime accroche-regard, avec l'architecture et le paysage fusionnant en un seul. Ce projet est un succès à plusieurs niveaux et a attiré de nombreuses entreprises, accélérant à son tour la nécessité de compléter le plan directeur avec Corda II et Corda III.

With Corda I, its steep green roof and its volumetric glazed facade, the city of Hasselt hosted its first incubator. The project, intended to accommodate young companies and start-ups focused on technology, high technology, ICT and new media, includes 14,000 m² of office space and offers common facilities such as meeting rooms, a café lounge, a restaurant and a central reception. . The building has seven floors, multi-tenant and flexible office space and, at its highest point, rises thirty meters above the surrounding land.
The design of the service center stems from a master plan and a Corda campus developed for the former Philips production site, transforming this industrial wasteland into a new freely accessible park
Corda Campus now functions as the ultimate eye-catcher, with architecture and landscape merging into one. This project is a success on many levels and has attracted many companies, in turn accelerating the need to complete the master plan with Corda II and Corda III.

"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!).

The Hagen Open-air Museum (LWL-Freilichtmuseum Hagen – Westfälisches Landesmuseum für Handwerk und Technik; English: "LWL Open-air Museum Hagen – Westphalian State Museum for Craft and Technics") is a museum at Hagen in the southeastern Ruhr area, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It was founded, together with the Detmold Open-air Museum, in 1960, and was first opened to the public in the early 1970s. The museum is run by the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL, regional authority for Westphalia and Lippe within North Rhine-Westphalia). It lies in the Hagen neighbourhood of Selbecke south of Eilpe in the Mäckingerbach valley.
The open-air museum brings a bit of skilled-trade history into the present, and it takes a hands-on approach. On its grounds stretching for about 42 ha, not only are urban and rural trades simply "displayed" along with their workshops and tools, but in more than twenty of the nearly sixty rebuilt workshops, they are still practised, and interested visitors can, sometimes by themselves, take part in the production.
As early as the 1920s, there were efforts by a group of engineers and historical preservationists to preserve technological monuments for posterity. The initiator, Wilhelm Claas, even suggested the Mäckingerbach valley as a good place for a museum to that end. The narrow valley was chosen, as wind, water and wood were the three most important location factors for industry in the 18th and 19th centuries.
In 1960, the Westphalian Open-Air Museum was founded, and thirteen years later, the gates opened to the public. Unlike most open-air museums, which show everyday life on the farm or in the country as it was in days gone by, the Hagen Open-Air Museum puts the history of these activities in Westphalia in the fore. From the late 18th century through the early years of the Industrial Revolution to the highly industrialized society emerging in the early 20th century, the visitor can experience the development of these trades and the industry in the region.
Crafts and trades demonstrated at the Westphalian Open-Air Museum include ropemaking, smithing, brewing, baking, tanning, printing, milling, papermaking, and much more. A favourite attraction is the triphammer workshop shown in the image above. Once the hammer is engaged, a craftsman goes to work noisily forging a scythe, passing it between the hammer and the anvil underneath in a process called peening.
The Hagen Westphalian Open-Air Museum is open from March or April until October.
Absolutely love the way this turned out. It's inspired by this concept art from Elysium. Something I've wanted to do for quite a while now. Not quite done yet as I need to add to the interior cargo area and make some actual cargo for it, but I wanted to get this photo before the decals aged or something happened to them. This is also the first time I've been able to get a white background to look good in a long time! XD

I was visiting a small museum (not a store) of movie & television vintage props & related equipment, etc. This NBC Studios fresnel light (from the 1950’s & 60’s & probably later) was, most likely. used on the Johnny Carson "Tonight" Show & a few others, from that time period. The multi-faceted & ringed fresnel lens in this light is widely used in movies & television as an accurate & adjustable light source. Much larger fresnel lenses were also used in lighthouses & could be seen for very great distances.
“The difference between technology and slavery is slaves are fully aware they are not free”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Inquiring about the buildings which look like 'half a building' we were informed, "these were the slave quarters.' While slavery wasn't the first thing we thought about while absorbing NOLAs fine sense of heritage and hospitality, when you become calibrated to it, it is hard not to think of elephants in the room.
