Grainger's 'Free Music'
Kangaroo pouch machine in the Grainger Musuem, showing the transport rolls and paper cutouts. Grainger wrote about it in 1952:
" 8 oscillators, able to play the gliding tones and irregular (beatless) rythms of Graingers FREE MUSIC (first thought of around 1892), are manipulated by paper graphs, towered discs and metal arms.A sheet of light brown wrapping paper 80 inches high (called "main paper"), is rolled continually from the "Feeder" revolving turret into the "Eater" revolving turret, passing through a metal cage on its way (the cage keeps the Main Paper, the graphs and ths discs in place)...."

OK, so today's effort from my lunchtime walk is a little lame, but I'll use the excuse that I've never really used this focal length (85mm) much in the past.... and the light wasn't that great ;-) . I'm sure many people around the uni can guess which tree this is without having to look at the map.

You have to grind the beans yourself, and then the government takes them and distributes the lattes among the working class. If you say how much you'd like a coffee, you are arrested and jailed without trial for having unapproved thoughts.
(What I'd like to see is the Adam Smith Café - name your own price for your coffee, and then the seller can decide whether or not to sell you a coffee at that price.)

Trial of Socrates, external sculpture by Tom Bass, above the entrance to Wilson Hall, University of Melbourne. Built 1956. Architects: Bates, Smart & McCutcheon.
Jack in underground carpark at the University of Melbourne.
Strobist info (or what I remember):
- 1x flash camera left slightly in front of model through umbrella.
- 2x gridded flash camera right behind model. (left and right side)
There was a bit of ambient light from nearby florescent lights in the underground carpark. But they were quite dull, so didn't contribute much to the overall lighting.

This is Waimea Canyon, on the Island of Kauai, Hawaii. It was taken from a flat spot on the top of a ridge, about 1/3 of the way down the Kukui Trail. We turned around at that point, because of weather concerns.
There was a rainstorm coming up the canyon as I stood there taking pictures of it. It makes for a rather dramatic change in light from left to right. Within 20 minutes, there was fog and rain aplenty.
This is a cropped version of what started as a 12 image panorama; about 7 images worth of data are represented here. The pictures were taken at about a 40mm focal length, which should give you an idea of the scale of the area. If you're looking at the full size version, the little white dot you can see against the really dark part of the hills is a helicopter.
It was processed in Linux with autopanosift, hugin, panotools, and enblend. Here is a good tutorial for the whole process.

Took some time out today to see a public dissection of a Giant Squid at the Museum of Victoria. The squid was caught by commercial fishermen off the coast of Portland in Victoria, May 26, 2008. Recognising it was an unusual find they put the specimen on ice and contacted the Department of Primary Industries (I assume this because some of the first images on the boat I see are credit to Paul McCoy of DPI.)
The shots you see following are what I recorded in a dimly lit auditorium in the Science and Life Gallery. Later on, closer shots where allowed under better lighting conditions.
The dissection was undertaken by Dr Mark Norman (not pictured) Deputy Head of Science (Marine Zoology) and a team of scientists (find) at the Museum of Victoria. Dr Mark is a bit of a Squid nerd and a pretty good public speaker.
