timing photos on Flickr

I had to break into my 365 project and upload one of my favorite shots of all time taken 27 years ago with an old Vivitar 35mm film camera and a Hanimex 80-200mm lens. The print image was scanned to digital years ago, so the resolution enlarged is very pixilated and Seurat like. Please forgive the imperfections.

The birds are ospreys, sometimes called sea hawks or fish eagles. Their wingspans can reach 6 feet (2 m). This decaying wharf is located near Point Lookout, a peninsula at the confluence of Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River in Maryland, USA. The image was shot just before sunset on a very hot and hazy day. There was only one osprey in the nest when its mate decided to join it. For a brief second I had the shot.

I’ve heard many times “timing is everything” in photography. - - - But it isn’t everything. We need luck, having a serendipitous event create the opportunity for a perfect image. We need passion, which gets photographers up at ungodly hours, makes us go unto nearly unbearable conditions for long stretches and keeps us at this craft day after day, all so that your finger is actually on the shutter button at the right time. And we need talent, i.e. the ability to artistically sense the kind of image we’re after, as well as to recognize an actual potentially captivating image and then talent to use our equipment properly to actually do the capture.

Lastly, can't ever forget the need for understanding and supportive families. My wife and three small children waited twenty minutes for me to capture this image, bless them.

On a side note, Point Lookout was a Federal prisoner of war camp holding Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War 150 years ago. I imagine (without any proof whatsoever) this wharf being the disembarking point for tens of thousands of souls whose fight using weapons was over, but whose battle to endure continued.

Forgive also the ramblings of an old man with some fond memories of this image.

The Right Timing by Ana Cristina Batres

Neurosurgeries are one of the best, clean, medical procedures. I still remember this day, I was gonna assist my NCA resident and specialist. What you normally do as a medical intern is to hold up any instrument they ask, or just basically do any medical order.

I was getting fit my sterilized gloves when the specialist told me not to because he needed some pictures during the surgery, he had to send some shots on how he set firmly the tool inside the patient's intervertebral discs; I, of course, took the chance to photograph the exact moment on how he did it. I like to call it, the right timing of a surgery.

Craughwell 10 Mile Road Race 2014 by Peter Mooney

This is a photograph from the 5th annual Craughwell 10 Mile Road Race which took place in Craughwell Village, Co. Galway, Ireland on Sunday 23rd March 2014 at 13:00. The 'Craughwell 10' has grown quickly to become not just one of Connaught's best known and attended road races but one of Ireland's best road races. Rather uniquely for road races in Ireland today the Craughwell 10 Mile road race offers a fully traffic free route for participants. The fast primarily flat course brings participants on the network of rural country roads to the west of Craughwell village. This year's event attracted a record number of over 650 participants building on the 600+ finishers from last year's race (results available below).

The organisation team of Craughwell AC and a huge team of volunteers from the local community deserve great praise and congratulations on the excellent work that they put into making the Craughwell 10 such an outstanding success. A race of this size is a mammoth undertaking and it's flawless organisation is a tribute to the volunteer work behind the scenes.

Route Description

The race starts in Craughwell Village and then heads west on country roads. The route takes a right turn after 1KM and heads north towards Caheradine. The route then takes a left and heads west again towards the N18. After 4 miles the race takes another left (goo.gl/maps/khTi4) heading south. Just before 6 miles another left turn brings the race back towards Craughwell village. This leaves the runners with a straight run to the finish area from here and the finish in the Primary School. There was a stiff cold breeze at different parts of the course but for the most part there was good stretches of tail winds also. There were water stations at two points in the course.

The AAI County Galway 10 mile Road Race Championships took place in conjunction with the race today which ensured that there was great competition amongst Co. Galway based clubs at all categories.

The spread of refreshments after the race was incredible. Every taste was catered for. The organisers were thoughtful enough to include a wide range of gluten free goodies for participants after the race.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Bad timing.

I walked down to the lab for another blood test at lunchtime. I had gone about 200 metres when we had a sudden downpour. I sheltered under a big tree for five minutes till it eased off.

I had a blood test a few weeks ago - after I had been to the doctor complaining of being permanantly tired and it getting worse. It showed that I have a vitamin B12 deficiency and also raised CRP (C Reactive Protein) markers which means that I must have a mild infection or inflammation (but I have no other symptoms). My GP said I needed B12 and could have tablets or injections. She said, that at the level my B12 was at, they would work as well as each other. So I opted for tablets. Not just because I don't like injections, but because they don't involve a time consuming trip to the surgery. She advised a second blood test in a week or so to check the CRP - assuming that it would have returned to normal. So I had the second test today.

The B12 supplement tablets don't seem to be working so I have asked for injections.

Timing optical detector systeem 2013. by Frans

Timing optical detector systeem 2013.

This is a new version of the optical detector. There is another line array used with 400 dpi. As a result, the detection resolution doubles. The used line array is TSL1401CL. There are some advantages in relation to the previous line array. The integration time is the same for all pixels. The light charges are transferred once at the start of the readout for all 128 pixels. This array is faster but now has only 1 output line. All 128 pixels must now be read out serially to the same pin, the foregoing could be read via 2 outputs. But this array is faster so the shortest integration time remains low. The ADC converters should now be faster. The new version with the ADC7885 now has a bandwidth of 30 MHz and a serial clock to 48 MHz. I now use 2 of these converters via serial time multiplexing.

The line array has 400 dpi versus 200 dpi of the TSL202R. The optical lenght pad is now only the half. The detector has double resolution in depth, a great feature for macro closeup. 1 pixel shift is now only 0.4mm depth at 500 mm distance. At closer settings this value is proportionally smaller.

Not easy, but nice job for the FPGA controller. The timing is show for an 40 MHz PLL clock but this may be higher if need to 64 Mhz or even 96 Mhz. The TSL1401CL is a very small SMD version. I will show later how to put him on the single layer PCB board.

This is a photograph from the 4th annual running of the Donadea 50K Ultramarathon which was held in Donadea Forest, Stapelstown, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 10:00 on February 15th 2014. The race was also an International Association of Ultrarunners Bronze Label Event and the Athletics Association of Ireland (AAI) National 50KM Championships. Over 160 participants took part in the event.

Don't forget to scroll down to see more information about the race and these photographs!

Timing, results, and event management was provided by RedTagTiming - results available at www.redtagtiming.com/

There is a full set of photographs available on our Flickr set at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157640976638143/

The event took place on a 5KM loop of Donadea Forest Park (read more below). The recent stormy and very wet conditions in Ireland made way for perfect running weather for the race. There was a slight breeze here and there on the route but for the most part the route was very sheltered. With so much running traffic on the course certain parts of the course became more muddy as time went on. However, this bother the participants who were expecting conditions to be much more difficult.

Congratulations to Anthony Lee of Donadea Running Club and Donadea Running Club for putting countless hours of voluntary effort into the staging of this event. The event has all the hallmarks of a professional event. There was a superb atmosphere around the loop as locals and other runners supported the runners.

Donadea Forest Park is situated in rural north Kildare and is approximately 640 acres in size. The amenities at the forest include good walking trails, a diversity of natural habitats, a walled stream, a large natural lake, and the ruins of Donadea castle. The Park is a designated National Heritage Area. The basic designation for wildlife is the Natural Heritage Area (NHA). This is an area considered important for the habitats present or which holds species of plants and animals whose habitat needs protection. It is a special event to allow the 50KM to be held in this environment.
