I roast my own coffee beans and love coffee and used to shoot microstock (and may get back to it) so I've taken a LOT of pictures of coffee beans. Almost all were with nice soft light and a white background if there was one.
I wanted to do the opposite so I did a 'photo shoot' of a bean in the foreground and three in the background. Then I kept adding beans. I kept having one bean as the focus. I spontaneously thought of putting one bean on top of a layer of beans. This was nice because creativity isn't my strength.
I used a larger aperture for this one to make it stand out, and it looks good, but I wish I would have used a smaller one. At this close it still would have been the only thing in focus and the whole bean might have been sharp.
I used an old White Lightning 600 with originally with a honeycomb grid spot for hard light and to keep it from spilling and bouncing off other things, and tried some with an umbrella. I happened to like the umbrella picture only because I used a little smaller aperture on this frame and liked the arrangement the best although I should have turned the bean toward the camera more. (The setup picture shows the grid spot.)
This is the first time I tethered the camera to a laptop which was super cool. My bad back was killing me so I didn't take as much time as I should have to ponder each shot. There are things I don't like about each 'setup' I did.
Next time I will try a silver umbrella kept close to the light source. I think that would work the best.

-Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro
-Hotshoe PC adapter didn't work so I used on camera flash to fire White Lighting via slave

made using this recipe. they are perfect!
mods:
*the recipe gives a range in the amount of sugar to use for the cookie. i used the lower amount (1 cup). i think this was the right amount because the frosting is so sweet.
*i used dark cocoa...i'm not sure that changed the taste but it made the cookie look more oreo-like.
*i was a bit distracted when i was making the frosting so i may or may not have used more than 2 cups of powdered sugar. in any case, i just added sugar until the frosting had a pretty stiff consistency, much like actual oreo frosting.

I used the bolt pattern template to hold the bolts in place while I jockey'd the head into position, then tore it out with some needle nose pliers just before the head was fully home.

I'm posting a bunch today, since they're all from my first test shots with my new EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM lens. I've been using the Series I version of this lens for several years and finally moved up to take advantage of the 1.5lbs weight decrease and 2-stop improvement in the IS. The IQ is supposed to be ever so slightly better that's a hard area to improve.
I'm very happy. AF accuracy seems to be accurate and contrast and color are as expected, perfect.
used grey mortar instead of matching the buff color mortar. This is right next to the front door which will be seen by anyone visiting.
A mini running day using 9 Bristol REs and an AEC Merlin took place in Winchester in early November 2019 ably organised by the Hampshire Bus Preservation Group. Four routes were operated from The Broadway running to Bishops Sutton via Alresford Station (X71), to Alresford Station via Itchen Abbas (71), a Winchester circular via Pitt (45) and a run down to Otterbourne (47). There was also an Alresford to Cheriton shuttle (67). It was a great day with some lovely autumnal countryside views and a wonderful soundtrack!

this image is exactly the same shot and position as the one preceding it just using the smallest zoneplate instead of the smallest pinhole on my camera.
I did my best to clean up these slides which are new scans using a better Canon 9000F Mark II flatbed scanner than the previous Wolverine slide scanner. Taken at twilight. The slides had deteriorated with time.
They show things gone now including Ringling Brothers circus trains and trains on the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston Line, by this time operated by the Soo Line as well as in one shot the Montgomery Ward headquarters building. Montgomery Ward went out of business in the early 2000s.
Ringling Brothers was doing a show at the United Center. In later years the circus trains would park on the former Milwaukee Road Galewood Yard tracks.
The Salzburg Cathedral (German: Salzburger Dom) is a 17th century baroque cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Salzburg in the city of Salzburg, dedicated to Saint Rupert of Salzburg.
It is the site of Mozart's baptism. And the composer Anton Diabelli sang in the Salzburg Cathedral boys' choir in the late 1700s.
The first cathedral was built under Saint Vergilius of Salzburg, who might have used foundations by St. Rupert. The first Dom was recorded in 774. The so-called Virgil Dom was built from 767 to 774 and was 66 metres long and 33 metres wide.
Inside the cathedral
Archbishop Arno (785 – 821) was the first to arrange renovations of the Dom, which was in place for less than 70 years. In 842, the building burned down after being struck by lightning. Three years later, the re-erection of the building started.
Under Archbishop Hartwig, a choir with a crypt was built towards West between 1000 and 1020. Under Archbishop Konrad I., the West-towers were built from 1106 to 1147.
This original church thus experienced at least three extensive building and rebuilding campaigns during the early Middle Ages, the final result of which was a somewhat ad hoc Romanesque basilica. In 1598, the basilica was severely damaged, and after several failed attempts at restoration and reconstruction, the building was finally ordered to be demolished by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich (Archbishop from 1587–1612). Wolf Dietrich was a patron and supporter of modern Italian baroque architecture, having seen it from its origins in Italy and particularly Rome. Indeed, it was Wolf Dietrich who was also responsible for the building of the nearby Alten Residenz, which is today connected to the cathedral.

FENDI MOD. SL 7295 Sunglasses. I required this pair sunglasses in 2003 at a local vintage shop NYC. D.B.L. 12mm with massive 63mm lens.
I like the lavish playboy, retro feel to it. It looks like what my grandpa would wear in 50's. The black frame is what I love the most about. The brown gradient is done very nicely too. What I dislike the most about will be the FENDI logo on the bridge, it shout out "FENDI" a bit too much to my usual liking. FENDI brand was a concern for me before the purchase. Since the brand image is more feminine. Soon the thought went over my head because If FENDI put up a MENS sunglasses, it meant to be wear by MEN. What's to worry right. This pair was meant to go with my brown suit but it goes nice with jeans & white T also.
It looks surprisingly nice on me. It is also irreplaceable in my sunglasses collection. There are times it is the only sunglasses that will present my outfit properly.
It is not a pair of sunglasses I would say, I LOVE it to death but I might not be able to walk out the door without it.

Bagattelle d’Inverno, l’ultima grande sfida #snellobb04
Birichinate, cammuffamenti, trasvestimenti, scherzi… insomma, in una parola: Carnevale!
Comunque lo si dica e comunque lo si festeggi, il Carnevale è da secoli una festa in cui la parola d’ordine è “divertirsi”.
Quindi, bando all’austerità e bando alle restrizioni, potevamo, noi di MondoSnello, non cogliere quest’occasione perfetta di Gusto e di Benessere, per vivere l’ultimo grande appuntamento delle gare di cucina di Snello Blind Box?
Eccoci qui, allora, amici di Mondosnello, estimatori dei prodotti Snello Rovagnati e appassionati Food Blogger che partecipate con noi ormai da un tempo che comincia a farsi lungo, perfino “tradizionale” (proprio come ci piace ;-)) a darvi il benvenuto a questa quarta sfida tra pentole, fornelli e… qualcosa di speciale – sennò che Carnevale è!
I fantasiosi piatti saranno assaggiati e votati da una giuria di esperti gastronomi di altissimo livello, a cominciare da Gil Grigliatti, gourmet di cultura ed esperienza internazionale. Da giovane è stato fiduciario Slow Food, nonché ispettore della guida dei ristoranti del Gambero Rosso per diversi anni. Autore del blog bilingue di cultura enogastronomica isymposium.org. Ancora Paolo Barichella, esperto di Food Design, autore del blog barichella.it; Alessia Cipolla, architetto e sommelier, autrice de lacostruzionedelgusto.it; Alessandro Salamone, reduce dalla trasmissione di La7 Chef per un giorno, autore di spaghettibites.com e ancora Angela Tomaiuolo co-fondatrice del web magazine milanodabere.it. Inoltre sarà presente Giacomo Kratter, otto volte campione italiano ed ora allenatore della Nazionale Italiana Snowboard. Quella da snowboard però non è l’unica tavola che ama: infatti Giacomo è un grande appassionato di cucina e adora farsi coccolare in ristoranti di lusso.
La giuria per l’occasione sarà presenziata dallo chef stellato e pluripremiato Davide Scabin, uno dei più apprezzati in Italia e all’estero, noto al grande pubblico per la partecipazione, nei panni di giudice dei cuochi in gara, a La Prova del Cuoco condotto su Rai1 da Antonella Clerici.
Per questo, abbiamo deciso di mettere insieme una serie di ingredienti saporiti, variegati, originali, proprio come in ogni ricetta gourmet che si rispetti:
- un pizzico di tradizione – la sede di InKitchen Loft, che ormai è prontissima ad accoglierci, in qualunque veste ci presentiamo
- e uno di modernità – quello che emana netto dalle protagoniste della gara, giovani donne che si muovono agili tra vite professionali sfidanti e articolati ménage familiari
- una buona dose di fantasia - fatta di maschere, costumi e colori sgargianti
- e l’ingrediente segreto – le nostre amate BlindBox, chiuse fino all’ultimo secondo anche al più ardito degli sguardi
- il tutto cosparso con una spruzzata di giocosità bambina – grazie a un buon numero di piccoli “scavezzacollo” che avranno il loro tavolo, i loro ingredienti, i loro cibi, e soprattutto una chef d’eccezione - Stefania Corrado, la “Multitasking Chef” che più che presentazioni merita i nostri più sentiti complimenti ;-) – a guidarli alla scoperta del buon cibo, del gusto e del mangiare bene… sapendolo preparare.
Già, perché, in fondo, soprattutto in un’era estremamente tecnologica come la nostra e come quella di quell’immediato futuro in cui saranno loro i protagonisti del mondo – far mettere “le mani in pasta” ai nostri bimbi lo consideriamo un onore, oltre che un piccolo grande contributo all’educazione dei “buoni mangiatori” di domani…
Amanti della cucina, appassionate del gusto, attente all’armonia dei sapori e alla cura per la buona e la bella tavola
Estimatrici di ricette snelle - per velocità, capacità, leggerezza - esperte nella valorizzazione degli ingredienti di stagione e nella rivisitazione moderna di piatti tradizionali, si sfideranno, si concentreranno su pentole e fornelli dimenticando tutto il resto, per dare il meglio di sé.
Ecco le Food Blogger di Snello BlindBox 04 – Bagattelle d'Inverno, vere animatrici dell'evento, che con le loro ricette e la loro esperienza renderanno onore ai prodotti Snello, Gusto e Benessere.
Loro si presentano così...
Lina D’Ambrosio
spadellatissima.com
Quando le chiedi di descriversi ,lei si presenta così: "Sono industrial designer e grafica, con una grande passione, quella del Food Blogging". Eppure non è tutto: inguaribile amante del buon cibo, dei viaggi, dell'arte e della fotografia, è sempre irresistibilmente affascinata mdai molteplici modi in cui un animo creativo può riuscire a esprimersi. Una frase che la descrive: "Mi piacciono la semplicità e la genuinità delle cose fatte in casa."
Serena Oliva
cucchiaiodistelle.com
Nella vita professionale, è architetto e designer, e per questo studia la relazione tra gli esseri umani e la tecnologia. Tuttavia, ha anche un'altra vita, quella da foodie, in cui è innanzitutto una mamma e una Food Blogger che progetta ricette, cucina piatti colorati, sani e golosi, cuoce il pane in casa e disegna insieme ai suoi bambini. Il motto che ha scelto per sé? "If in doubt, bake a cake"
Irene Prandi
Psicologa, piemontese, animata da una vera passione per la comunicazione e la condivisione, ha trovato nell'arte del cibo un mezzo straordinario per celebrare entrambe. Il suo viaggio da Food Blogger inizia con un blog creato in sordina, tuttavia in molti la notano e in ancora di più la seguono. Insomma, et voilà, il suo cammino continua rigoglioso, condito da sapori, ricette, un grande amore per il territorio, e tanta curiosità per tutto ciò che è "altro".
Arianna Vianelli
unafranciacortinaincucina.com
Non c'è dubbio, il suo nome è già un affermazione forte e chiara. Dice subito chi è e da dove viene. Almeno tanto quanto il suo blog nato dal desiderio di ritagliarsi uno spazio tutto proprio dove raccogliere e condividere le sue più grandi passioni: la cucina, il vino, gli amici e la Franciacorta.
Insomma, semplicità e ironia, ricette ed eventi, vini locali
e non solo, sono gli ingredienti di "una franciacortina in cucina".
Quindi, tra la stuzzicante prospettiva di gustosissimi lecca lecca di parmigiano con crudo e bresaola e prove di formine su pasta sfoglia con fette di prosciutto, in attesa delle prelibatezze imprevedibili che ci prepareranno le nostre sfidanti – adulte ;-) – non resta che invitarvi a conoscere un po’ meglio Lina, Serena, Irene e Arianna, giovani, pimpanti e agguerrite Food Blogger che ancora una volta ci delizieranno di una versione inconsueta e sorprendente dei prodotti che amiamo di più, con un occhio attento, come sempre, alla stagionalità.
SnelloBlindBox_04_CucinaTuVi abbracciamo, dunque, in un turbinio di coriandoli che non lascia presagire niente di… scontato :-)
e invitiamo tutti voi a fare festa con noi a Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno il 6 marzo 2014, alle ore 18.30 e – perché no – a cimentarvi, insieme alle nostre “chef per passione”, in ricette e piatti che, siamo sicuri, saranno gustosissimi. Come raccogliere la sfida? Semplice, partecipando a Snello BlindBox CucinaTu – l’iniziativa pensata apposta per la #gente_di_MondoSnello che ormai ci segue da molto tempo.
In attesa di assaporare tutto il meglio che Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno saprà regalarci – e non abbiamo dubbi - a presto!

Used to see quite a few of these around, borrowed this off the net as I will probably never see one now.
Bedfordshire Police were using Vauxhall Viva’s from the late 60’s, when they were used alongside Mini’s as panda cars.
The photograph shows a Viva HC, which was one of the later versions of the car, marked in the "red stripe" style instead of the normal blue & white two-tone.
As Vauxhall was a Bedfordshire company, the force had a long tradition of using their vehicles and the Viva was no exception. Production of the Viva was split between Luton and Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. Beginning in 1963, over 1.5 million vehicles were produced, with the millionth car rolling out of the Luton factory in 1971. Production ceased in 1979, and the car was replaced by the Vauxhall Chevette
At Bedfordshire Police our aim is "fighting crime, protecting the public."
We cover 477 square miles, serve a population of around 550,000 and employ in the region of 1,260 Police Officers, 950 police staff and 120 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). For more details about the force, visit our website www.bedfordshire.police.uk

This is a blow-up of the right side of Fra Angelico's (italian) Last Judgement tempera, 1432-35 (15th century). This detial shows poeple who were damned to hell. I found this tempera on the web gallery of art website. The actual painting is located in Museo di San Marco, Florence. Just as hell would be imagined, in anyones head, it is depicted as a dark, scary, place full of demons. Set aside that this painting has demons in it you will find that this last judgement painting is much different than that of european ones: the people are not slender and graceful but large and dark ,almost demon like themselves. Also, the detail on their surroundings is very little and more emphasized on the people and showing their fear and pain in hell. All colors used are dark, with exception of the people that are naked. However, another thing that makes this italian tempera different than european last jugdement paintings is that the poeple are being drug down into hell, by demons, where as in euro. they are not. The large demon with horns in the front eating people appears to be the devil. All other six sections show very terrifying scenes to scare people into being a non-sinner and a believer in god because no one wants to go to hell. The point of this section (a detial of a large tempera) of the painting is to scare people into being a fallower of God.

Police are currently using underhanded tactics to arrest or fine Graffiti artists looking to paint their artwork legally, without the hassle of authority intervention. Southbank is well known for its skate spot underneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall right by the BFI / Royal National Theatre and for years its walls have been covered in artwork created by some of the UK's most recognisable graffiti/ street artists..as well as visitors from abroad, much to the delight of those who use the space (skaters/bmx'ers). There was even a commission painted by South African artist Robin Rhode in October 2008...which raises the question "Why should only selective people be allowed to paint in this open public space?" and "Why should artists be criminalized when seeking to practice their Art form within the boundary of the law?".
The walls, described by passers by as "part of the charm of Southbank" have been left adorned with Graffiti, seemingly to entice unsuspecting artists to paint them, almost like a 'honey trap' in order for the met. police to earn a couple of hundred pounds a week off arrests made/ fines handed out. all without even any signage warning of the dubious legality or expensive consequences resulting from being caught painting there. It seems clear that yet again a Graffiti wall in the UK has be turned 'illegal' overnight without prior notice or warning..
Reports also show that when asked where is legal to paint arresting officers simply shrugged and said "i don't know..". Disgusting.
