LEARNING TO FLY

A good old-fashioned photo montage.  Produced by just cutting out various relevant magazine images of 'flight and/or flying'.  Than fixing these to a piece of card (complete with limited use of letra set letters). For those of you who have not twigged yet what this image is all about, it's based on the title of a track/song from the great British Progressive Rock Band - Pink Floyd.

NOTICEBOARD

A WARNING

I have been off-line for a while. This was due to a virus that affected my computer. This particular virus is called Smit-Fraud. This happened whilst I was on a well-known social networking site. The site (that originates this scam) looks exactly like a Microsoft site (complete with logo, design and layout).

The message read: "Your system has been infected with multiple spyware programs. You should consider installing the necessary heuristic module to protect other computers, as well as your pc has repeatedly tried to infect other computers via Internet, and to send spam.  The fact of spamming can result in criminal prosecution, despite the fact you are the victim of malicious software. For the safety of your system it is essential for you to install the necessary heuristic module and perform a full scan of your computer to exterminate malicious programmes from it".

It even asks you for payment and your credit card details etc.  Apparently there is a lot of these bogus sites out there. It disabled all my drives, so that I could not remove it, or access the internet.  There is a very good local computer shop who sorted this problem out for me, cleaned my hard drive and told me about the problem.  I did not lose any important files (because all of these are not stored on my computers hard drive).

But it cost me (in more ways than one). It is high time IMO that a tougher stance was taken with those who hack, infect and send spam to innocent people. Apparently it is two young European based males who are competing with each other, who are the culprits causing computer users this particular trouble.

So please be aware of this scam. Check your pc security on a daily basis, and be careful what you click on and what applications you use.

Yours sincerely

Trevor David Betts

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

All the photographs featured on this blog spot were taken on Canon analog 35mm SLR cameras which included: Canon A1, Canon AE1 (non-programme) and Canon T90. The Canon A1 was rendered useless after prolonged exposure to salt spray residue, and the AE1 suffered a malfunction, and one of my T90s just packed up on me during a photographic shoot.

Most of my camera equipment was initially purchased brand new, then as the years have past I have purchased second-hand equipment. But the vast majority of equipment I currently possess is well over twenty years old.

Canon FD lenses used were: 28, and 35mm wide angle, 50mm standard, 35-105mm short telephoto zoom and a 70-210mm large telephoto zoom lenses. Also used was a loaned Mamiya 645 with 50 and 80mm lenses. My favourite combination is a T90 fitted with the 35-105mm lens with an Hoya orange filter. I use Hoya orange, red, neutral density, and skylight filters. Hoya and Canon lens hoods. A Canon remote cable. I have used a great Metz 45 CT-4 flashgun for many years. I used this for the bounced and fill-in flash for some of the documentary and portraiture work.

Studio flash used was Courtenay brolly flash (just two heads fitted with soft boxes) at Hull Community Artworks studio (sadly this excellent local arts facility closed in 2001). Billingham and Tamrac camera bags (the Billingham is a old model that I have had for years - wonderful bags). The Tamrac one is a medium sized back pack type bag. Slik Black Diamond 88, and 500 DX Pro tripods. A Cullmann touring set (which consists of a light tripod, ball and swivel head, all-purpose clamp, suction cap, and a ground spike). I presently have three Canon T90 and one A1 SLR cameras.

Film used was mainly 35mm (with some 120mm). Ilford Delta monochrome negative print film, 100 asa (a few rolls of 400 asa as well). Ilford HP5 and FP4 (400 and 125 asa respectively). Fuji Neopan 400 asa. Various Fuji colour film. Photographic chemicals: Ilford ID-11 and Microphen film developers. Agfa Rodinal fine grain film developer, and Ilford Hypam fixer.

Photographic paper: Ilford Multigrade IV VC paper, Fibre based VC paper including warm and cool tone. Kentmere Velvet Stipple and Art Document papers. Kodak selenium toner. Barclay and Fotospeed sepia toners, and Colorvir blue toner. Durst M60 and Meopta 5 enlargers fitted with 50 and 80mm Schneider lenses. Kenro negative sheets and Jessops negative folders.

Most of my photography involves the use of the camera being securely mounted onto the tripod, with the shutter set to the 10 second delay. I bracket my exposures (relying on the excellent Canon in-camera meter). My aperture settings are usually between F5.6 and F22. In the vast majority of cases the very first exposure I take is usually the correctly exposed one.

Finished photographic prints (spotted if needed). At the 10 x 8 inch size are then scanned on an Epsom 1660 photo perfection scanner using Adope Photoshop CS2 at the 5.5 x 3.5 inch image or canvas size, 150 dpi and at the 750 x 550 pixels size, and saved as for the web. The only thing that is manipulated is the brightness balance and contrast levels.

DON'T FORGET

"It is the soldier, not the minister, who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to fair protest.

It is the soldier, not the politician, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."

From: "Fighting for Queen and Country,
by Nigel 'Spud' Ely. Blake Publishing London, 2007.
