Joe, here's a Goose for you. He was hissing at me when I took that picture. Is a Goose a Duck?

A: Very interesting composition vis-a-vis depth of field, and yet it doesn't look like you were using all that short of a lens.

B: A Goose is always the same as a Chicken, and a Chicken is always the same as a Duck, but a Duck is not the same as a Goose except when the additional injectors are installed.

No, f/2.8 is fast.

17mm, however, is short.

I was thiking "Hmm- it doesn't have that sort of forced-perspective, wherein the size of the goose's head is exaggerated and the body seems to fall away in the background."

But now that I'm soberer, I can see that it does.

gotcha, i know f/2.8 is fast, but I was thinking that's what you were referring to.

I'll show you some odd forced-perspective....



flamingos are freaking creepy.

I am very uncomfortable with what ever search terms you are using to come up with that string of images...

You should see some of the **** I've come across while searching on various pony-related themes for images to insult people with.

Some of it genuinely disturbs me, and I am not easily disturbed.

I'll put it this way: there are "adult toys" available.

From more than one source.




Here is the engine from a Solar Saturn turbine generator, of the type used by AT&T long-lines division as a backup power source:



For some reason, I always assumed that these used radial turbines, but nope- they're axial, just like most aircraft engines.


The complete generator assembly:



Interesting sidebar: they build these here in Sandy Eggo, at a plant near the airport.
