Used 2 seperate photos for textures on this (both my own), overlay on both, converted to B&W. This is the lighthouse in Two Harbors, MN.
Using so much medium format and slow film, sometimes I forget how much I like film grain.
Both of us were perched up above Cook's Chasm for this photo to happen.
History
The use of ropes for hunting, pulling, fastening, attaching, carrying, lifting, and climbing dates back to prehistoric times.
It is likely that the earliest "ropes" were naturally occurring lengths of plant fibre, such as vines, followed soon by the first attempts at twisting and braiding these strands together to form the first proper ropes in the modern sense of the word. The earliest evidence of suspected rope is a very small fragment of three-ply cord from a Neanderthal site dated 50,000 years ago.
This item was so small, it was only discovered and described with the help of a high power microscope. It is slightly thicker than the average thumb-nail, and would not stretch from edge-to-edge across a little finger-nail.
There are other ways fibres can twist in nature, without deliberate construction.
A tool dated between 35,000 and 40,000 years found in the Hohle Fels cave in south-western Germany has been identified as a means for making rope.
It is a 20 cm (8 in) strip of mammoth ivory with four holes drilled through it.
Each hole is lined with precisely cut spiral incisions.
The grooves on three of the holes spiral in a clockwise direction from each side of the strip.
The grooves on one hole spiral clockwise on one side, but counter-clockwise from the other side.
Plant fibres have been found on it that could have come from when they fed through the holes and the tool twisted, creating a single ply yarn. Fiber-making experiments with a replica found that the perforations served as effective guides for raw fibers, making it easier to make a strong, elastic rope than simply twisting fibers by hand spiral incisions would have tended to keep the fibres in place.
But the incisions cannot impart any twist to the fibres pulled through the holes.
Other 15,000-year-old objects with holes with spiral incisions, made from reindeer antler, found across Europe are thought to have been used to manipulate ropes, or perhaps some other purpose.
They were originally named "batons", and thought possibly to have been carried as badges of rank.
Impressions of cordage found on fired clay provide evidence of string and rope-making technology in Europe dating back 28,000 years.
Fossilized fragments of "probably two-ply laid rope of about 7 mm [0.28 in] diameter" were found in one of the caves at Lascaux, dating to approximately 15,000 BC.
The ancient Egyptians were probably the first civilization to develop special tools to make rope.
Egyptian rope dates back to 4000 to 3500 BC and was generally made of water reed fibres.
Other rope in antiquity was made from the fibres of date palms, flax, grass, papyrus, leather, or animal hair. The use of such ropes pulled by thousands of workers allowed the Egyptians to move the heavy stones required to build their monuments. Starting from approximately 2800 BC, rope made of hemp fibres was in use in China.
Rope and the craft of rope making spread throughout Asia, India, and Europe over the next several thousand years.
From the Middle Ages until the 18th century, in Europe ropes were constructed in ropewalks, very long buildings where strands the full length of the rope were spread out and then laid up or twisted together to form the rope.
The cable length was thus set by the length of the available rope walk. This is related to the unit of length termed cable length. This allowed for long ropes of up to 300 yards (270 m) long or longer to be made.
These long ropes were necessary in shipping as short ropes would require splicing to make them long enough to use for sheets and halyards.
The strongest form of splicing is the short splice, which doubles the cross-sectional area of the rope at the area of the splice, which would cause problems in running the line through pulleys.
Any splices narrow enough to maintain smooth running would be less able to support the required weight.
Rope intended for naval use would have a coloured yarn, known as the "rogue's yarn", included in the layup.
This enabled the source to be identified and to detect pilfering.
Leonardo da Vinci drew sketches of a concept for a ropemaking machine, but it was never built.
Remarkable feats of construction were accomplished using rope but without advanced technology:
In 1586, Domenico Fontana erected the 327 ton obelisk on Rome's Saint Peter's Square with a concerted effort of 900 men, 75 horses, and countless pulleys and meters of rope.
By the late 18th century several working machines had been built and patented.
Some rope is still made from natural fibres, such as coir and sisal, despite the dominance of synthetic fibres such as nylon and polypropylene, which have become increasingly popular since the 1950s.
Nylon was discovered in the late 1930s and was first introduced into fiber ropes during World War II.
Indeed, the first synthetic fiber ropes were small braided parachute cords and three-strand tow ropes for gliders, made of nylon during World War II.

I used up my last two remaining rolls of Velvia on my last trip, which had been sitting in my freezer since 2013. Velvia 50 has always been my go-to film, but after it was gone, I still had a few rolls of Kodak Portra 400, also left over from 2013. Here's the final shot from my trip last week, shot on Portra. Portra actually seems to turn out pretty well after scanning, but I do miss being able to look at a transparency on the light table and seeing natural colors.

60's style gasser or B/FX class drag car. Flip-up front end as most of these cars had for ease of access to the powerplant. This is not based on any specific make, but would be something like a Chevy II Nova, Ford Falcon, or Plymouth Valiant. This is actually a redux of this car: flic.kr/s/aHskCMa75t
that I've modified. The biggest change was to move the rear wheels forward by one stud to provide more correct and pleasing placement. I also included some changes to the front end to take advantage of the newer angled slope piece. The chassis is the same one that I used on the yellow car just swapped over to this body.
As always, comments and constructive criticisms are welcome, and thanks for looking!!
Used for commercial trash and neighborhood clean up. For commercial trash, Clovis uses rear load dumpsters, not front load bins.

Use vignetting in a photograph today. Either add it in post (easier) or do it in camera via lens or lighting (harder)., post it then Tag it with #TP84 If this doesn't qualify, just say so and I'll replace it.
Uses the TLC twin tank backpack. The accelerant tank piece plugs into the bracket attachment, which is inserted into the twin tanks. The tip of the nozzzle is hollow to allow the flame pieces to attach, and the hose is insert molded to the bracket and handpiece.
It is my most ambitious injection project to date.
Early experiments, with using hot lights, motion, trying to figure out nudity...I barely remember this shoot, but from the picture itself, I can cobble together what was going on.
I remember Nicole being down to try whatever ideas I had, she'd jumped in a shower fully-clothed, she'd come up to the Madonna Inn, she'd woken up at the crack of dawn to shoot downtown, she was always game to be my test subject as I tried new things out...invaluable, really.
I'd acquired a REALLY hot light at a yard sale, the year before, I can tell this is what I'm using because of how the light's being thrown, and that expression. That's not Nicole giving some kind of look, that's 650 watts being thrown into her face and her trying her damnedest to keep her eyes open. I once left that light on my apartment floor for a few seconds...the burn mark was still there when I moved out, six years later.
I've never been a fan of making my subjects suffer, or making them uncomfortable...but there are occasions where I have to inflict irreversible damage on their eyes to get a shot, is that so wrong???

Camp Crystal Lake...
This image is probably my personal favorite, I love winter, and its returning to Australia soon. The fog will be forming and photographers will be out in force... including me.
Landscape photography is all about trying to be in the right place, at the right time. Seconds before this shot was taken the fog covered the lake like a thick blanket. It felt spooky, the fog felt alive and I think we woke it up, because before we knew it, it was all around us, it had lifted from the lake and rushed us.
Enjoy.

About Camp Crystal Lake
Camp Crystal Lake, the setting for many films in the Friday the 13th (franchise) series.
About Lake Moogerah
Lake Moogerah, formed by Moogerah Dam, is a water supply and irrigation dam on Reynolds Creek, a tributary of the Bremer River in Southeast Queensland's Fassifern Valley. The lake is used for recreation, fishing and camping.
The lake is located around 60 km southwest of Ipswich, and about 90 minutes drive from Brisbane. Boonah is the nearest town, about 15 km from the lake.
Construction on the dam began in 1959, although land for the project was resumed as early as 1916. Moogerah Dam was completed in 1961 as the central catchment of the Warrill Valley Water Supply Scheme. The dam wall at Lake Moogerah allows access to Mount Edwards in Moogerah Peaks National Park.
The dam supplies drinking water to the towns of Boonah and Ipswich, although the main user is the Swanbank Power Station. It also supplies irrigation water to small crop farms in the Fassifern Valley.
There is a popular caravan park at Moogerah Dam. Higher Ground Australia operate Camp Moogerah at the lake for church youth groups. On the western shore are Camp Mallon and Camp Laurence which offer group accommodation camps with educational and adventure activities for school students, family and church groups. On the southern shore is the Brisbane Grammar School Pepperina Hill Campsite, which is primarily used for grade 8-10 camps.
During the 1995 drought dam levels declined to a low of 1% total capacity
'Moogerah' comes from the aboriginal word Moojirah meaning home of the thunderstorm.
used an Oriental face originally then added a negative of itself reversed to get what looks like a menacing expression....she's probably a very nice lady....cloning & mirrored
A big thanks for having a look at this one..... appreciated..... best bigger....hope you have a Great Weekend

This I converted using Photoshop Elements 2020. I note that as I use my native program very rarely. I had to buy 2020 becauseI thought my new iMac's os would not accept my old 18. I am not totally sure that is true as I have only been warned by communicative computer that the 12 I still have alive and rarely kicking will need to be updated. I only keep it around because I failed to integrate its album organization when I went to 18. Agggh! Now I will lose all of that when I finally upgrade to Catalina. Which I may never do!
This is quite a busy landscape that my fail one of the tests of a good image: is it coherent, framed so all extraneous details are eliminated and objects are not cropped along the edges? Still, I like it so much I printed it out three ways: Letter size on metal and pearl paper, and 13 x 16 on luster. Way obsessed with printing since I got the Canon Pro-10. I have acquired several different types, brands, and sizes of paper. Not only do I use the various papers on my Canon, I continue to try them out on my Epson Artisan. Surprisingly (and with disappointment) I find the Epson often does a better job with color images. Brighter, truer colors, more 3D pop. This is with typically using Canon profiles on Canon paper on the Canon printer. I have tried other profiles and even Epson paper on the Canon but Epson on Epson usually wins. Black and white is another story entirely. The one black ink of the Epson means that it incorporates colors to manage monochromes resulting in a magenta print. Because of this, I have considered selling the Canon and getting a higher line Epson. If my Epson printed bigger than letter size, the problem would be solved.
Used one Yongnuo YN-560II at 1/8 power to the right of the camera mounted on a light stand triggered with a RF-603.
The guitar was placed on a reflector with the black side up.
