If I was looking for a specific one of Frank's images, I'd peruse a PDML
archive until I found a post with a link to one of his Blogs & then
drill back through it until I found it. If the first blog didn't have
it, I'd look for another ... rinse & repeat as necessary.

Re: OT the Loma fire is 20 miles away

[John Francis]

As Larry mentioned in an earlier post, It's a bit closer to where I live
than it is to Larry's house.

This was taken late yesterday afternoon:

http://panix.com/~johnf/temp/LomaFire.jpg

Here's another shot taken about five minutes earlier, showing a detail
of the mountain peak to the right (whick I think may be Loma Prieta of
1989 earthquake fame):

http://panix.com/~johnf/temp/LomaFireDetail.jpg

Ten minutes earlier still that plume of smoke hadn't even been there;
just the first little wisps of smoke on this side of the hill.

Loma Prieta is about ten miles from where I took those photographs;
my house is about 1.5 miles closer to the fire (just about straight
ahead in the main photograph, this side of the brown hillside that
you can see between the trees). There's a pretty wide flat valley
just beyond those brown hills, though, and it's mostly ranchland,
so it's not likely that we're going to have any real problems.

Technical stuff - the first shot was taken with the 60-250 all the
way at the wide end (on a K-5); the detail shot was taken with the
same lens at the other end of the zoom range, this  time also using
the HD1.4x adapter I just recently accquired from Stan Halpin.

There's also a 1920x1200 version of the original shot here:

http://panix.com/~johnf/temp/LomaFireHD.jpg

Re: OT the Loma fire is 20 miles away

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Wow. I used to live just south of where the fire is, up in the hills over 
Aptos. (If you search on "Aptos View Road, Aptos, California" in Apple Maps, it 
drops a pin on the road just a mile or so from where the house is.)

Our property line was the NIsene Marks State Park ... part of Loma Prieta. The 
epicenter of the 1989 Loma Prieta quake was a bare couple of miles away at 
most. By that time, I'd moved to San Francisco and weathered out the quake 
there in relative safety. But my dear friend Virginia Marks, the owner of the 
Aptos house, was still living there. I remember getting down to the house for a 
visit after the quake and feeling nearly constant tiny tremblors tick-ticking 
through the flooring. Ginny had spent two nights sleeping in the truck in a 
small open clearing nearby, fearing the trees would come down on the house. 

A wildfire is FAR scarier. :-|

G

... I remember the house and the wonderful time I lived there and was part of 
the Marks family there as if it were yesterday. It was, in reality, 1981 to 
1983 that I lived there. But I visited often—all holidays, whenever I could get 
away from JPL in SoCal, Molecular Design in San Leandro, and Apple in 
Cupertino—for many years afterwards. I will never forget the quiet beauty of 
the place and the extraordinary kindness and love afforded by John and Virginia 
Marks, and their large, rambling family. John died in 1986 while I was 
traveling for JPL, and Virginia survived him until 2002. After that the house 
was sold and that wonderful retreat into the woods at the top of Nisene Marks 
Park was lost to me. 

Remembering all the wonderful times we had together in the little house on the 
mountain brings tears to my eyes. I miss you, Ginny and John. To think that 
house might be destroyed is so terribly sad. ... :-(

John's son Steven and his family live near me in Santa Clara now. I'll have to 
call them.

Re: PESO - forbidden fruit (safe for work)

[Igor PDML-StR]

Thank you, Ann and John, and all who have looked and commented on the 
fruits and the flowers!


And just in case someone might be confused, - these are not the common 
sweet cherries you get at a supermarket in the US.

Rather, - these are "pie" or "tart" cherries.

The photos of the cherries and flowers were taken in Urals, in the city 
of Chelyabinsk that became very famous in 2013 for the meteorite.




John, to answer your question: Just because I felt like it.
 ;-)

In a way the subject had a playful indirect (but maybe obvious) 
tongue-in-cheek reference to Bruce's message subjects for his great 
photographs.


Cheers,

Igor

I picked up one of those adapters that goes on a regular speedlight.  It

less light, in absolute terms.  For macro, the inverse square law is

Re: GESO spider and cocoon

[Alan C]

Larry, it looks like a butterfly pupa. I would carefully cut it off with a 
razor blade & attach it to a safe overhang with superglue. It may have to 
over-winter?

Subject: GESO spider and cocoon

The caterpillar I photographed a couple days ago seems to have gotten
around to wrapping a cocoon.  However, there seems to be a spider that
thinks it's a pretty nifty MRE.

BTW, someone pointed out that what I thought was a spider in the
previous photos was probably a mosquito.

Re: OT: Ring lights?

[Bruce Walker]

Doug, Neewer stuff is basic and cheap, but not all bad in my experience.

I have a couple of their fully manual (no bells and whistles) TT560
flashes, and they are well built and solid performers. I used them
heavily for a year or two and occasionally after that. They just keep
on working, for 4 years now. No complaints. I'd buy more if I needed
flashes.

Just FYI.

Hey John,

Thank you. I looked up the ABR800 and it looks like a great unit, like I 
suspect most Alien Bees would be.

Mine has an optional "Moon Unit" ring umbrella kit w/cover that spreads

It's currently at 2200 acres and 10% containment.  Someone got an 
awesome photo of it from the Santa Cruz Pier last night, with the 
boardwalk lit up in the foreground.  Unfortunately, that wasn't me.

Re: GESO - Twelve National Park Pano's - a calendar for 2017

[Gonz]

Yeah, when we visited the Arches in Utah a couple of years ago, it was
a jaw dropping experience.  Standing on some of those viewpoints made
me feel as if this whole time I had only experienced a 2D world and
this was the first time I was experiencing a 3D world.  I felt like a
tiny doll in a giant set.  It was breathtaking.

The other one I really liked was Mesa Verde.  So much history and
mystery there.

The woes of web search

[Mark Roberts]

So I'm teaching about the effects of shutter speed in my next class
and I thought Frank Theriault's famous (on the PDML) photo of the
Asian girl on the scooter would be a great example to use. You know —
blur and movement and all. Anyway, I tried to find it on the web. The
only result was that I learned including the words "Asian girl" in any
web search is not a good idea...

Great collection, Ann.  Reminds me of what I missed in 2013  :-(  -
although Mesa Verde, Glacier and Yellowstone were certainly highlights.

Re: OT the Loma fire is 20 miles away

Mainly I was wondering whether the wind was blowing it in your direction
or away from you.

Hope all y'all will be safe. I won't worry unless I hear there are big
changes.

So, where is that in relation to you? Is it moving away from you or
towards you?

And what are the chances it's going to come to your house?


It is a long, long ways away, this a google map of Felton to the Fire:
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Felton,+CA/37.10632,-121.85318/@37.0640219,-122.0996765,11z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m8!4m7!1m5!1m1!1s0x808e3ef78ff33bcf:0x2209215e66ebe42c!2m2!1d-122.0732973!2d37.0513374!1m0


If you look on google earth you can see that there are a couple of
mountain ridges, a fairly large town, a four lane highway and several
excavations (pit mines for sand) between my house and the fire.

If all efforts to fight the fire were to stop (all humans vanished from
the face of the earth), it might, possibly, reach my house.  So, it's
not impossible.

My note was meant as reassurance.

By straight line, it's actually closer to both John and Nicole than it
is to me.  But I live in what's considered the Santa Cruz Mountains, so
it is likely to be described in a manner to make it sound close to my
house.

I do have several friends who live in the evacuation zone, as of last
night it was about a mile from my friend JB's house.

It is also just a few miles from the epicenter of the '89 Loma Prieta
quake, and a lot of that area was burned out in a big fire in 1985.
