SiJy 2019 Day 10

[jyc860923]

Hi folks, Day 10 is here, let's see your photos.

Here's mine, I call it the "tree house". Edited with LR on Android, then synced and exported to the desktop, I hope the colour isn't too far off.

I wanted to shoot a Black Shouldered Kite. He was out there, he was sitting in a tree, and as soon as I stopped the car, he took off, leaving only one feather behind. Well, thats my story, and I'm sticking to it!

How did I manage all these years without detailed printed instructions how to open a matchbox...

because no one focuses on the instructions, even if you want to.

Kerfing is an essential part of a guitar or ukulele, serving to add rigidity to the body and extra gluing surface for the top and back. It is glued onto the sides while the instrument is still in the building mold, half of which you see in front. The kerfs allow the lining to be bent to the sides of the instrument without requiring heat bending. There are two types: reverse kerfing, like the piece shown here, is glued with the kerfed side facing against the wood. It is generally thought to be more rigid when glued. You can see a bit of the reverse kerfing through the soundhole of my guitar body. The other type of kerfed lining has the kerfs facing inward. I prefer the reversed kerfing, as I think it gives a cleaner fit.

Today I set out with a clear goal -- find this one funny sign I walked by once and didn't capture. Didn't find the sign but doesn't matter -- made my SiJy shot for day 10.

Decided to shoot in-house. This is my little workbench where I fiddle around with electronics.

This is an HDR composite from 7 exposures (-3...+3 EV), the dynamic range was quite high. The wired box mid-left was my latest project, a MW (AM for our American friends) loop antenna.

Unfortunately, it wasn't for *all* staff.

My morning meeting ran on and on right over my lunch time so no real time to shoot video until after work while driving to Ikea (to get a stand for my iPad so I can watch Netflix while in the bath).

Note to self: must try harder!!!

Also contains footage from the National Museum of Scotland and the Museum of Childhood in Edinburgh.

And it's a perfectly good story too!! Intrigue, mystery, a tragic quest, jilted love. Now start on the screenplay while I line up the talk shows.

Day 10. Feeling good about my physical recovery, but focussed on other things, so only capable of a couple quick snapshots to share here.

I have been lax until today. But today I offer for your amazement and study, the beautiful, talented, and mysterious... Balthus. HER owner/roommate is a painter. And it really is MISS Balthus.

Another slow day for me, but I am confident that things will pick up soon. This is my favourite shelf, it has some of our maps and guidebooks plus my favourite cap.

I will be putting some of these to use later this month.
