Thanks to all who looked & commented. My mate, Gert, needed 7 stiches in 
that gash on his right knee.
There were a few spills at that sty/bridge. Some riders were so knackered 
they dismounted & walked across.


Ken, it looks OK on my lap top though some fill flash would have helped.

& much, much more. The Romans left an astonishing legacy. In fact, the
whole structure of British (& much of European) society.



This isn't a true story, though it is strange enough that it could be:


The US standard railroad gauge (distance between
the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That’s an
exceedingly odd number.

Why was that gauge used?

Because that’s the way they built them in England,
and English expatriates built the US Railroads.

Why did the English build them like that?

Because the first rail lines were built by the
same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and
that’s the gauge they used.

Why did “they” use that gauge then?

Because the people who built the tramways used
the same jigs and tools that they used for building
wagons, which used that wheel spacing.

Okay! Why did the wagons have that particular
odd wheel spacing?

Well, if they tried to use any other spacing,
the wagon wheels would break on some of the old,
long distance roads in England, because that’s
the spacing of the wheel ruts.

So who built those old rutted roads?

Imperial Rome built the first long distance
roads in Europe (and England) for their legions. The
roads have been used ever since.

And the ruts in the roads?

Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts,
which everyone else had to match for fear of
destroying their wagon wheels.
Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they
were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing.

The United States standard railroad gauge of 4
feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original
specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot.
And bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you
are handed a specification and wonder what horse’s
ass came up with it, you may be exactly right,
because the Imperial Roman war chariots were made
just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two
war horses. Now the twist to the story…

When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its
launch pad, there are two big booster rockets
attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These
are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are
made by Thiokol at their factory at Utah. The
engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred
to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to
be shipped by train from the factory to the launch
site. The railroad line from the factory happens to
run through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had
to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly
wider than the railroad track, and the railroad
track, as you now know, is about as wide as two
horses’ behinds.

So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what
is arguably the world’s most advanced transportation
system was determined over two thousand years ago by
the width of a horse’s ass. … and you thought
being a HORSE’S ASS wasn’t important!

Re: GESO: Swan Lake (Lagoon?)

2016-06-27 Thread Nicole Jacque
Thanks!

I don’t know if it was technically a lagoon or not, but it was a small body of 
water separated from the ocean.  I didn’t follow it far enough along to see if 
it connected with the ocean farther down or not.

I didn’t have a very wide angle lens, but I just counted 29 swans in one 
picture, which doesn’t cover all of the area.  It was quite thick with them.

By way of comparison, here are some photos taken with the K20 at the same
spot, late at night.  The mists made the scene a bit more photogenic.

http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72157625430541230

You will see that after post processing it is nearly impossible to tell
apart two shots with the same exposure apart from ISO.  I don't know why I
can see the milky way in the first set, but not the second set, perhaps it
hadn't moved into the scene yet because that is exactly the opposite of what
I expected.

On one hand, this means that if your post processing software could handle
it, you could shoot at base ISO all of the time, and almost never clip your
highlights.  However, since lightroom does not handle more than 5EV
gracefully, there is also little to no downside to pushing the ISO hard
enough to see what you need to see (so long as you don't clip highlights).

I was shooting way under exposed last night so as not to blow out the
colored lights behind the band I was shooting. The problem was that the
people in the foreground were so dark, I couldn't see anything useful on the
display.

I would love to see a paradigm shift in cameras used by people who shoot in
raw.  The ability to always shoot at base ISO (not the requirement, but the
ability), and to have an equivalent to ISO control, simply control the
brightness of the preview jpeg.  Ideally, being able to adjust it in camera
while you're looking at it.
The histogram would, of course, report the raw data, ideally also showing a
number with the percentage of clipped pixels in each channel.
I'd love to see some sort of number showing SNR in the shadows as well.

The only photos of any artistic merit are the ones of the fir trees at the
end.  They were well lit by the headlights on the hwy.  There are some weird
effects where they have more illumination in some shots than others. It may
have something to do with traffic patterns, though it didn't seem to vary
that much over 20 second time spans at the time.

For people who know the area, I took the bear creek / Black Road exit, and
doubled back to Montevina road. I parked at a little pullout there and
walked a hundred yards/meters or so back towards the exit to get a better
view of the lagoon.

BTW, I'm still waiting for a chance to try my luck with M31.  I haven't had
both a clear view of it and a long lens.  It seems to be rising pretty late
at night, usually after the moon.

The first great literary work produced in England, takes place entirely in
Denmark, as does arguably the greatest English literary work, Hamlet.

Re: PESO - Branford Point, In Memoriam

2016-06-27 Thread Mark Stringer
I offer my belated sympathy.  I lost my mother in 2010. I miss her 
always! She was 96 and well right up to her stroke.


She was a good woman and Saints fan and I knew she had pull with the 
Lord.  In a moment of levity, I asked her to see if she couldn't help 
the Saints win a Superbowl before she passed on Feb 4.  On Feb 7 the 
Saints won Superbowl XLIV.


Her memorial service was three weeks later (she was cremated).  Often 
there aren't many attendees to the funeral of an old person.  The church 
was full.  All ages too.  She was a retired teacher and active in the 
church.  Several of our family members are musicians and vocalists and 
all performed.  It was a very entertaining service.

She would have loved it and maybe she did.

Seriously, you have my sincere condolences.

Stringer

Her spirit is everywhere, yet I miss her.

You are talking about the Welsh.



Yeah, Scotland has sheep!


It depends a bit on what part of Scotland. In many areas my 
understanding is that they tend a lot more towards cattle, a rather 
short and scruffy looking breed of cattle, but cattle nonetheless. A 
bunch of my ancestors by the name of MacGregor got in a wee bit of 
trouble with the English because they didn't see any reason why they 
should give up the time honored sport of cattle raids.


There is also the old question of why the Scots tend to raise cattle, 
and the Irish sheep. Because on average the Scots are just a bit taller.
