Happy Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in their temporary home near Ypres

Happy Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in their temporary home near Ypres

Image by National Library of Scotland
Members of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders posing for the camera, near Ypres, Belgium. Most of the men seen here are looking out from underneath a tent-like structure. Their heads are just visible above a pile of sandbags. All of the men are looking towards the camera and smiling. Two further men are visible, one reclining on the ground and the other standing in a crouched position in the background. It is a posed but informal shot believed to have been taken by the British official photographer, John Warwick Brooke.

Images such as this were often used by the Government and Military as positive propaganda. By masking the grim reality of life at the Front, the authorities provided people with the reassurance they so desperately wanted.

Konica III Hexanon 48mm F2

Image by camerawiki
Konica lenses of this era have an excellent reputation; the one on particular camera has not been tested, as it still needs a shutter and aperture rebuild.

The small triangular chromed tab below the lens controls the aperture. Below the f-numbers is an EV scale engraved into the shutter-speed ring. If desired, the aperture tab can be pinched against the serrations of the shutter dial, rotating the two together to offer EV coupling. However it's quite easy to move the aperture tab independently.

This is an eminently sensible system; and much better than the awkward one used on the later IIIA. But admittedly, locating the aperture scale out of sight below the lens was not the best ergonomic move.

Where the rivers start

Image by Stuck in Customs
The Rockies are the source of a few rivers, and here is one of them. I can't remember the name of it for sure (although I am sure some of my smart readers can), but I am pretty sure this is the Yellowstone (or maybe the Madison?) river, flowing westward out of the park. This part of the river is impossible to see from the road. I had to pull over and then walk over a tiny little hill/mountain to get there. I stayed at the top, listening to my ipod, waiting for the sun to set... It was all quite serene, as you can see! :)

Daily Photo - Under the Docks in California
Some of you remember the great photowalk we had down in San Clemente. I really had a good time there. On my photowalks, typically I stop from time to time and tell the assembled crowd what I am doing. Well, I finally got a chance to process this quintet!

I felt fortunate to have a good friend that had an amazing condo that overlooked this same beach. Frankly, after a long day and night of shooting, I felt spoiled and happy just taking a few more steps to my pad... grabbing some cool drinks... opening the patio doors to listen to the surf... good times!

New Interview with Matt Brandon
Matt is a really nice guy, and I enjoyed our time together for the interview. He runs a website called The Digital Trekker, and he has just recently posted the interview at that link. His podcast is called "Depth of Field", so be sure to check it out!

Want to know something really strange? We were on the same flight from Tokyo to San Francisco a few weeks ago, and I didn't even know it! :) I found out about this later via Twitter -- he walked by me, and I was deeply engrossed in something on my laptop!

Immense R.A.F. machine ready to start with its load of bombs for Germany

Image by National Library of Scotland
R.A.F. planes being loaded with munitions, France, during World War I. The people involved in this scene are all engrossed in their activities and as a result unaware of the camera. The size and power of these early aircraft is conveyed quite clearly by this image.

Two types of bombs in the main were dropped from planes. Finned mortar bombs, called 'aerial torpedoes', were used for destroying targets and 'flechettes', anti-personnel darts, were used for more specific damage.

Canaries who live aboard Ambulance Train to cheer wounded with song

Image by National Library of Scotland
Two nurses and their canaries posed by their train, France, during World War I. This photograph was taken at an angle down the side of the train. As a result the image is dominated by overpowering dark metal-sheeting. At two intervals along the composition nurses are leaning out of open windows. Their uniforms are clean and sharp, and they are intent on the cages they are holding. The cages are on display and hold canaries which apparently were used to alleviate the boredom of the patients.

This photograph would have sent an ideal propaganda message. The implication that proper, well-organised and efficient care was provided for those at the Front would have reassured those at home. The canaries meanwhile provide a light-hearted note to the seriousness of war injuries.

Week 110 Assignment 2 for Take A Class With Dave and Dave.

Inspired by a Cartoon/Comic - Create an image inspired by cartoon or comic. Open to interpretation. This was going to be limited to The Far Side until I found that Larson's cartoons are not widely available online.

Best Viewed Large

Back in my first year of 365 Days I did this comic strip self-portrait to which my friend Ron responded with his own. I had planned on doing several more of these, but Ron sort of Flickr'd himself out and stopped doing 365 days, which meant that my source material became harder to come by.

Luckily, I convinced Ron to participate in this week's assignment, although he did wait until the last minute to get me his files. Apparently he felt that his wife's birthday and spending time with the family over the weekend was more important than the assignment. I know, he really needs to work on his priorities. He just doesn't get it.

This particular comic is based on a What The Duck strip that, when I read it, I knew I had to recreate it with Ron.

Two boys greasing their feet

Image by National Library of Scotland
Cold feet, Western Front, during World War I. This photograph shows two young members of one of the Labour Corps, probably the South African Native Labour Contingent (SANLC). They are sitting in the snow by one of the Labour Camp huts. They have their boots off and according to the original caption are greasing their feet, presumably to give some relief against the cold.

This image perhaps gives a glimpse of how strange and alien Europe must have appeared to many of the Labour Corps men, and how far away home must have seemed. For the South Africans, for example, it was a six-week sea voyage from their home port to France.

General Smuts inspecting a South African native labour unit in France

Image by National Library of Scotland
This rather formal scene is thought to have been captured by the war photographer John Warwick Brooke. This is one of the proportionally few images of Black South Africans involved in the war effort. Due to South Africa's domestic policies at the time, Black South Africans were not allowed to bear arms and were instead involved in supporting roles.

General Jan Christian Smuts (1870-1950), was born in Malmesbury, South Africa and enjoyed an active political and military career in South Africa. After the declaration of war by the British Empire, Smuts founded the African Defence Force. After accepting a position in the British War Cabinet in 1917, he played a vital role in establishing the RAF.

Lightning Cloud Burst Boulder County Colorado IM34

Image by Striking Photography by Bo Insogna
Colorful light reflections, Lightning Cloud Burst Boulder County Colorado IM34. Boulder County, Colorado cloud to cloud lightning thunderstorm cell April 25th,2011

Cloud-to-cloud lightning

Multiple paths of cloud-to-cloud Lightning discharges may occur between areas of cloud without contacting the ground. When it occurs between two separate clouds it is known as inter-cloud lightning and when it occurs between areas of differing electric potential within a single cloud, it is known as intra-cloud lightning. Intra-cloud lightning is the most frequently occurring type.[14]

These are most common between the upper anvil portion and lower reaches of a given thunderstorm. This lightning can sometimes be observed at great distances at night as so-called "heat lightning". In such instances, the observer may see only a flash of light without hearing any thunder. The "heat" portion of the term is a folk association between locally experienced warmth and the distant lightning flashes.

Another terminology used for cloud-cloud or cloud-cloud-ground lightning is "Anvil Crawler", due to the habit of the charge typically originating from beneath or within the anvil and scrambling through the upper cloud layers of a thunderstorm, normally generating multiple branch strokes which are dramatic to witness. These are usually seen as a thunderstorm passes over the observer or begins to decay. The most vivid crawler behavior occurs in well developed thunderstorms that feature extensive rear anvil shearing. Source: Wikipedia
