The Poetics of Gas

Nostalgia for our industrial heritage, with some nice pictures, here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-30405066

There's a very good-looking one, built in 1886, close to where I live. It
was once the largest in the world:

Nostalgia is all very well, of course, but it must have been a bit grim for
the people who lived nearby:

Actually, Eric, the lens I considered buying to replace the 16-45 was the 
17-70--pretty much the same size and weight, good optics, and a longer reach. 
The continuing reports of SDM failures have deterred me.

 The 16-45 is my most-used lens by far. It's fairly compact, not too heavy, 
 sharp, and versatile. It would be nice to have another stop, but not at the 
 expense of more size and weight.  Fortunately the files from the K-5 shot at 
 ISO 6400 clean up pretty nicely.
 
 Thanks, Rick. Glad to hear that. It jibes with other comments I’ve heard. 
 Would like to afford the 16-50/2.8, but even used it’s beyond my means—unless 
 I really splurge.

Re: PESO - Blue Snowflake

2015-01-29 Thread Mark C
Interesting observation - in a sense the droplets (rime) could be acting 
like additional lens elements and altering the refraction of light. I am 
hoping to work with the yellow filter a little more and if this turns up 
again I'll turn off the mufti white balance to see if that affects it.  
I have never seen this with red filters in the past.

Mark,

Your guess about the auto-WB compensating for the yellow light is very 
plausible. I've seen this type of things happening.


If that's not the case, - I wonder if it is somehow a result of 
optical interference on the thickness of some layer(s) of the flake.

It looks like the blue color is where there are some sort of droplets
on the snowflake. I wonder if it's the interference on the two 
surfaces of those droplets.


Nice image, as usual.

I took the opportunity to try using a yellow filter, just to

this shot the background is yellow but the crystal itself is mostly

maybe an artifact of having the multi while balance featured enabled. 
At any

rate - it was something different :

There used to be. Most of them have been taken down. Nowadays they use
fixed tanks.

Plug this into Google Maps: 36.072551,-79.93539

Go to Street View and look south. Years ago, those were all expandable
Gasometer tanks. They started replacing them with the fixed tanks in the
mid to late 70s.

There's a very good-looking one, built in 1886, close to where I live. It was 
once the largest in
the world:

Nostalgia is all very well, of course, but it must have been a bit grim for the 
people who lived
nearby:

 They had one of those in the late 1970's near where I lived in
 Rochester (NY). It was torn down shortly after my family moved there.
 Damned ugly things.
 

I grew up in the Boston area between 1952 and 1960. These gas houses as I 
called them, were scattered throughout Newton, Cambridge, Boston and the South 
End (Southie).

They seemed oily and dirty. I never took the time to ask how they worked. 
Thanks for the BBC explanation!

It's now over 18 months since my family and I brought our Australian
accents to the western USA and, while I haven't exactly ignored the
photos I took, it's taken until now to put them into a gallery.

This is not a 'best of' gallery - it's more of a travelogue, so there
will be some (lots?) of images that are not going to win any prizes.
There are quite a few images - 75 in total - and this is only Part 1!
Of course, you don't have to look at all (or any) of them, but I
thought some of you might be interested to see where we went and what
we saw.  There's a map of the route at the start of the gallery.

Part 1 covers Los Angeles to northern Colorado via Nevada, Arizona,
Utah (briefly) and New Mexico.

http://lyons-ryan.org/roadtripUSA/index.html


Very much enjoyed looking through them. Two I really liked were 'View from
the observation car'  'Spider Rock' which capture both the atmosphere - and
the vast open landscapes of the areas.



Thanks, Malcolm.  The snow-capped mountain areas that we saw later in
