This is a chunk of the Western Veil Nebula, also known as Caldwell 34. The whole Veil Nebula is huge... way too large for my telescope/camera rig to capture in one frame. I'm not yet at the point in my astrophotography journey where I'm beginning to stitch together mosaics, so you get small parts of large things featured, like this. This star-forming region is about 2,400 light-years away in the direction of Cygnus.
I shot this a few weeks ago, just as I was coming out of troubleshooting some issues with my gear. Things have been going pretty smoothly since then! This particular image came from about 5 hours of narrowband integration time, exposing in Sulfur-ii, Hydrogen-alpha, and Oxygen-iii, then mapping those to the Hubble Palette.

This time I was able to borrow 8 SB-800 units instead of 6. All of the SB-800s were set to 1/64th power and triggered by setting the flash to the SU-4 optical remote mode. I also attached them to the 12ft light stand with super clamps instead of gaffers tape. This made for easier adjustments of the individual flash units but made the light stand significantly heavier.
I addressed the issue of consistent firing by setting my 2 580EX II flash units to the stroboscopic flash mode that nobody ever uses and is commonly forgotten. I set the flash to fire at 1Hz at 1/16th power and triggered them with PocketWizards. The stroboscopic feature only works if the flash is attached to a hot shoe so I used PC sync hot shoe adapters. This kept the flashes at a consistent interval as I walked the light stand behind the car. The 580EX II to camera right was at headlight level and about 10ft in front of the car. The 580EX II to camera left was also 10ft away but was raised to about 5ft and aimed down towards the car.
I had more problems getting the flashes to fire together. I was disappointed since the PocketWizards are considered the gold standard in radio triggering. In order for the flashes to keep firing, the trigger button had to be held down for the entire exposure. My buddy Adam (who's car is being modeled) held up the triggering PocketWizard high over his head Statue of Liberty style to get both of them to fire together.
I stopped the lens aperture down more to exaggerate the star effect on the background lights.
After hours of planning and troubleshooting, I'm happy to see the final result turn out as well as it did.
The final exposure was set to ISO 250, f/14, 30sec.

I was doing some troubleshooting yesterday, driving around a work vehicle trying to replicate a computer issue, when I spotted this Corvair. The red against the yellow and grey of the house caught my eye and I decided to head back at lunchtime to get a photo of it. I also took a photo of it with my Yashica Mat loaded with Tri-X but that shot won't be ready for a bit.

I just finished my second attempt at a completely open-source camera (the first being Lux, which you can see elsewhere in my photostream). All of the custom parts will be 3D printed (alumide and brass) or laser cut (stainless steel) , and the remaining optical, electrical, or mechanical parts are completely off-the-shelf.
If you follow along with my photostream, you may have noticed that a couple of months ago, I was toying around with using off-the-shelf lenses to make a Cooke Triplet lens. Indeed it worked well enough to consider building a camera around it. To my knowledge, it would be the among the first completely homegrown camera to use neither a pinhole, nor a single element lens, nor a lens salvaged from another camera. Having usable multi-element lenses for DIY projects means potentially faster, sharper, and more versatile cameras without having to rely on a limited supply of old cameras to hack apart or salvage.
That said, I really wanted to build a TLR or a rangefinder using this lens, but all the moving parts and additional complexity would cost more time and dough than I have available. That, and I happened upon a Pen D3 half-frame P&S that I am now really enamored with. So, a 645 point and shoot it is. Kind of in the same vein as a Diana or a Holga. But hopefully better.
With the 65mm triplet lens, we can go from dreamy and soft at f/4.5 to really defined at f/8 or f/22 (I couldn't be bothered to design an iris diaphragm, so 3 waterhouse stops will have to do). The back focus is about 55mm, which would have necessitated a big camera body - instead the whole rectangular front portion pulls out or collapses at will to make it more compact. The shutter is similar to the electromechanical one in Lux, powered by a solenoid but with an additional linkage to make it more compact. Lux hit 1/125s and I think this could do the same, despite the shutter leaf being larger due to the wider aperture.
A new feature is integrated manual and automatic (aperture priority) metering, via a Sharp ambient light sensor. The microcontroller is now more powerful, using an atmega328 instead of attiny85. Shutter speed and film speed is dialed in using a pair of rotary switches, and the metering display is via an RGB LED. Aperture values are reported to the microcontroller with binary coded pins on the waterhouse stop.
Looks wise, I took my inspiration from the Ricoh Auto Half (the non-functional selenium cell-like front panel around the lens), Olympus Pen (curved body profile and loading door), my Laika SW (round tapered VF and loading door closures ), and Diana F+ (winding knob area).
This is definitely the most complex camera I've ever designed - so I'm looking forward to ordering some parts next week or so and starting the grueling process of troubleshooting :)

My computer has been cycling through the blue screen of death since last week. Still troubleshooting the route cause...
So in the meantime, my last picture redone with AI.
Constructed during the 2010-2011 school year and designed to take advantage of the waterfront, the building integrates sustainable features that minimize environmental impacts to conserve energy and resources. It features a green roof, photovoltaic solar energy and occupancy-controlled lighting.
Environmental Features:
The Canal Building’s west-facing wall sports an array of metal-sheathed angled “fins” designed to shade windows from the afternoon sun, reducing the need for air conditioning.
On the rooftop, there’s a 10-kilowatt array of 25 solar panels and a “green roof” landscaped with sedum, a native drought-resistant plant. The green roof will reduce stormwater runoff by capturing rainwater, and will help insulate the space below it to reduce energy requirements.
“Occupancy-controlled lighting” in every room means that lights are automatically turned off when the room is empty. The building has been designed so that 80 per cent of the occupied space is lit by natural light. One floor has a “day lighting” control, which shuts off or dims lighting when natural light is sufficient.
This is Carleton’s first “Intelligent Building,” which integrates all systems through a single Building Automation System (BAS). The BAS allows the operator a single point access for monitoring and troubleshooting all HVAC controls, lighting, IT communications and security. This also allows the building to run more efficiently through real-time metering and adjusting, reducing the building’s carbon footprint.
The Canal Building has water-saving features, as well as energy efficient HVAC and electrical equipment. Its energy use is at least 28 per cent less than the National Energy Code standard.

La tête du grèbe n'est pas très nette, mais je voulais surtout photographier son postérieur ( !!! ) car on peut voir la forme particulière de ses pattes sous l'eau.
En rentrant d'un dépannage, je me suis arrêté aux étangs de Saclay. Ils y avaient deux grèbes qui jouaient au sous-marin à mes pieds. Pourquoi ne pas en profiter ?
The grebe's head is not very clear, but I especially wanted to photograph his posterior (!!!) because we can see the particular shape of its feet under the water.
When I got back from a troubleshooting, I stopped at the ponds of Saclay. There were two grebes playing at the submarine at my feet. Why not enjoy it ?

Well, this one took a little longer do produce. But since I never made a "space scene" for the Saratoga so I thought instead of doing the standard rotation shot I've been doing lately I'd try to do something a bit more fancy, and, as it turned out, increasingly challenging.
After setting up the scene and figuring out all the different illuminations for the navigation lights, guns, explosions, engines, etc., I figured I'd try to have a star field as a background as it felt somewhat empty, even for space. No big deal, right? Well, that turned out to be somewhat of a challenge, considering Studio is pretty rigid in what it deems 'the center' when setting up shots to render and how the placement of small parts in a large area gets overly cumbersome.
I ended up creating a large sphere, populated with somewhat randomly positioned custom made small balls with an illumination effect applied to them. Then I had to figure out how to do a 360º rotation animation without having my computer rendering for 60+ hours in one go. So I rendered the rotation in 90º increments and then combine those into one continuous shot. This also made it easier to eliminate any stars that were potentially getting in between the camera and the ships in those shots.
Next I wanted to do some separate shots to precede the main 360º rotation, just to spice things up a bit more. Those took a lot of planning in terms of figuring out the camera angles, magnification, lighting and motion before rendering them.
I'm talking about this as if I've just made a blockbuster movie, but I was just surprised at the amount of planning, troubleshooting, testing and rendering that went into such a short sequence. Big respect gained for the actual professionals out there.

How was everyones weekend? Mine not so good. My main computer died a few days ago and is still broke. After hours of grueling cleaning and troubleshooting I've narrowed it down the the motherboard, but it'll take me a few days to get a new one. Until then I'm using my laptop but I only have photoshop CS2 with no filters.
PS: I'm going to try and make a conscience attempt at not shooting any seascapes for a while. I feel like that's all I've been shooting and want to broaden my horizons, so to speak.
Shot 7 long exposures with the wide angle 10-20 and digitally blended them with layer masks in CS2. Added a layer for curves, saturation, and unsharp mask.
i did not advance the film far enough past the paper lead, so the film starts in the middle of an exposure and overlaps with the next exposure. scanned default straight from the negative and not cropped.

A Week of Fences: Day 5
As I look back at my fences this week, I really liked the Thanksgiving Fence from yesterday the best and it will be hard to top that one! I looked at a gazillion fence shots today and decided to post this fun & colorful fence shot with my Bokeh Jackie! This was two blocks down the street from that wonderful "Cozy Noodle" cafe with the cool Pez Bathroom and two blocks from Wrigley Field in the other direction.
Thanks so very much for all the most wonderful comments on yesterday's fence shot. I so appreciate every single one! I hope my U.S. Friends had a most enjoyable Thanksgiving!
I am in the midst of troubleshooting a major display issue on Jackie's laptop at the moment and must get back to it. I will be catching up with everyone throughout the day!!! We are NOT "Black Friday" shoppers in this family! We steer clear!
This concludes Fence Week! It has been fun!
~
Happy Fence Friday!

Trivia and Jane replace a thermostat on a hot water heater.
Of course, as it turns out, the problem is not with the thermostat, but with the actual electrical breaker switch in the main electrical box.
None of the Troubleshooting Guides I looked at suggested Main Breaker Panel Failure as a likely culprit in a water heater not working.
The question now is: is the issue with the breaker itself, which looks worn and water damaged, or with the entire electrical panel, which looks worn and water damaged?

My day job involves a leash: my Blackberry. While shooting pictures in the fields of Dahlias in Canby, one of my clients called with issues with his database. I should have waited to call him back when I got to the car, but I made the mistake of answering. Yes, I was that person, standing in a field of flowers with her flippin' cell phone troubleshooting a computer issue. Never a better reminder of the right-brain, left-brain switch needed to go from tiny dewdrops and exquisite petals to complex database functions.
Anyway, it was still a beautiful day, and I still was able to turn most of my brain off to disappear down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. What would life be without art?

A test shot. The autofocus suddenly stopped working. After a good hour downloading manuals, troubleshooting and Googling I noticed I’d inadvertently switched the camera into manual focus mode- doh!

This is excess extruded Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) from a LEGO factory. The ABS pellets were heated in preparation for injection molding, but the liquid plastic was ejected from the machine before it could be injected into the mold. This is common when troubleshooting molds, and the waste plastic is typically discarded or sent for recycling at another company. Despite its fluid look, this ABS has cooled to about the typical hardness that you'd expect from LEGO bricks.

At the moment I have some error in my salt printing process, not yet troubleshooted. To get some kind of (but still very low) contrast/density in this one I increased the exposure time almost 100%, warm dried it in a cabinet and finally pressed it in my Seal Jumbo 160M @ 125°C.

They have had the recent update out for a while, but I finally took some time to try it out. The results aren't exactly all that good yet. As usual, rigging frustrates me. Why they can't make their Opensim rig and settings work to export out the model correctly is annoying. Not everyone wants to go through all the troubleshooting to get things to work properly, especially when this has been something that a lot of people have been requesting for years to fix. Sure, I have Avastar, and could try to figure out how to do all that, but I really don't have the time at the moment. So maybe I'll try Thursday or Friday to go through a few tutorials. It's just irksome that MH has been asked several times to work out these compatibility issues, and each update that has promised to deal with the issue has yet to resolve it. Not to mention, it looks like they changed the UV maps again, so I'm going to have to figure that out as well... >.<
