Fim do mundo

Chile, Novembro 2008

O fim do mundo é mais fácil de encontrar

quando se tem hiper-sensibilidade à luz.

Polaroiding..

Assim o mais Polaroid que tenho é esta.. de um cromo no Cabo da Roca

Citação metapoética..

Sigo o fumo como uma rota própria,
E gozo, num momento sensitivo e competente,
A libertação de todas as especulações
E a consciência de que a metafísica é uma consequência de estar mal disposto.


Depois deito-me para trás na cadeira
E continuo fumando.
Enquanto o Destino mo conceder, continuarei fumando.

Hasselblads in Space:

Tirada com uma Hasselblad EDC.. na Lua..

Hasselblad 500c

The Hasselblad 500C, with a planar 80mm lens (modified), was the first Hasselblad camera to be used by NASA in space. It was purchased by the astronaut Walter M. Schirra from a camera shop in Houston, Texas.
Modification, carried out by NASA, involved removing the lining, mirror, focusing screen and hood, among other things, to make the camera lighter.

 Hasselblad SWC

With a Biogon 38mm lens, made its space debut on 3 June 1966, on a voyage in Gemini 9. The camera was largely standard: Only the lining had been removed and the viewfinder was specially designed. The camera was used on four voyages in 1966.

Hasselblad EC (Electric Camera) 500 EL

This camera was taken on the manned voyage which passed close to the moon on 21-27 December 1968. During this voyage 10 revolutions were made around the moon, the purpose being to survey possible future landing sites. The HEC was fitted with a magazine for 70 mm film. 

Hasselblad EDC (Electric Data Camera)

This is a specially designed version of the motorized 500EL intended for use on the surface of the moon, where the first lunar pictures were taken on 20 July 1969 by Neil Armstrong. The camera is equipped with a specially designed Biogon lens with a focal length of 60 mm, with a polarization filter mounted on the lens. A glass plate (Reseau-Plate), provided with reference crosses which are recorded on the film during exposure, is in contact with the film, and these crosses can be seen on all the pictures taken on the moon from 1969 to 1972. The 12 HEDC cameras used on the surface of the moon were left there. Only the film magazines were brought back.

Hasselblad 500EL/M

This is the first Hasselblad SLR space camera and it was equipped with a HC3-70 prism viewfinder. It was used for the first time at the Apollo-Soyuz flight in July 1975. 

Hasselblad ELS (Space)

The ELS is a modified 553 ELX, with flash metering removed and leatherette replaced with thin metal plates. This camera was used in the early 1990´s on the Space Shuttle missions. The film magazines use 70 mm perforated film and are equipped with electronic data imprinting, enabling the recording of time and picture number for each exposure. 

Hasselblad 203S

This space camera is a focal-plane shutter camera based on the standard 203FE version. It is equipped with a special version of the Winder CW. The film magazines use 70 mm perforated film and are equipped with electronic data imprinting, enabling the recording of time and picture number for each exposure. Since the computers onboard have full control over the position of the shuttle it is fairly easy to identify over which spot on the earth the picture was taken.

2010 Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar: Day 2

Image 2: This turbulent cosmic pinnacle lies within a stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7,500 light-years away in the southern constellation of Carina. Scorching radiation and fast winds (streams of charged particles) from super-hot newborn stars in the nebula are shaping and compressing the pillar, causing new stars to form within it. Streamers of hot ionised gas can be seen flowing off the ridges of the structure, and wispy veils of gas and dust, illuminated by starlight, float around its towering peaks. The denser parts of the pillar are resisting being eroded by radiation. Nestled inside this dense mountain are fledgling stars. Long streamers of gas can be seen shooting in opposite directions from the pedestal at the top of the image. Another pair of jets is visible at another peak near the centre of the image. These jets, (known as HH 901 and HH 902, respectively), are signposts for new star birth and are launched by swirling gas and dust discs around the young stars, which allow material to slowly accrete onto the stellar surfaces. Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 observed the pillar on 1-2 February 2010. (NASA, ESA, M. Livio and the Hubble 20th Anniversary Team,STScI)

Mais uma maravilhosa reportagem no The Big Picture. Esta sobre a Hajj, a peregrinação anual a Meca, há menos de 2 semanas. Afluíram cerca de 3 000 000 de muçulmanos este ano.

And now, for something completely different..

Dado que isto foi desenhado e a determinado momento terá sido scaneado, o que é técnicamente, e, para todos os efeitos, um caso particular da ƒotografia, não me opus ao impulso de postar no blogue..

O que me fez lembrar aquela famosa foto:

O Verde e o Azul

Ok esta ilusão óptica é genial:

Qual é a ilusão? O verde e o azul são a mesma cor! Não minto não, se quiserem abram no photoshop e comparem os valores... ver para crer? Está bem está. Este artigo detalha a ilusão.

Tension in the Koreas

Como já deu para perceber sou fã desta rubrica. A peça de hoje é sobre o estado de tensão entre as Coreias.

Protesters trample a portrait of North Korea leader Kim Jong Il in front of the Defense Ministry, Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2010 in Seoul, South Korea. South Korea's troops were on high alert Wednesday as their government exchanged threats with rival North Korea following a frightening military skirmish that ratcheted tensions on the peninsula to new extremes.

South Koreans look at military controlled areas at the Imjingak pavilion, near the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas in Paju, about 55 km (34 miles) north of Seoul on November 24, 2010. The United States-led U.N. Command in Seoul said on Wednesday it had called for talks with North Korea to seek ways to ease tensions on the peninsula after Pyongyang's deadly artillery shelling on an island in the South.
