Photographing the Solar Eclipse of 2024.04.08

Photographing a solar eclipse    using a 10 cent solar filter by the way...   1/800 sec. f8  iso=2000  no filter On 2024.04.08 we drove south 3 hours to the north shore of Lake Erie to watch and photograph the total eclipse of the sun. I decided the following equipment would be used: Canon 7d  body , which is a cropped frame camera,  I used this older camera just in case sensor did get damaged. Canon 300mm F2.8 L lens Canon 2x teleconverter to give me 600mm  (840 effective compared to full frame) Gitzo Carbon tripod plus gimbal head I usually use with the 600mm f4 The solar filter Now I needed a filter to reduce the light of the sun itself enough I could look at it through the viewfinder of a SLR, and not damage my eyes or the camera sensor/shutter. Back to old school, what I have done before decades ago. I used some "Space Blanket" now known as Emergency Blanket.  This is very thin, aluminized mylar film.  The metal reflects all wavel...

The Demolition of the Bogdon and Gross Plant, Walkerton

Image
  Over the last few weeks we have been walking over the site of the old Bogdon and Gross furniture factory, which is being demolished to make way for another sub-division. Originally built in the late 1890's by the Knechtel Furniture Co.,  It operated until 1934, closing during the great depression.  Purchased by Bogdon and Gross in 1938. They operated a furniture manufacturing operation until 2017 when it closed and has sat empty since.   A fire in 2020 caused some damage and a permit was issued for the demolition.  I am posting photos taken (usually just with a cell phone) showing the events and the changing landscape. Old photo of plant from the internet archives  Satellite image from google earth before anything happened     2021 02 20 before destruction   2021 02 24 still no changes 2021 03 11 Work has started     Fencing has been put up to keep people out.   Keep an eye on that rail car to right of building. it is so...

The Brand New Canon Battery that would not charge!!!

Image
 I purchased a new R7 body a few days ago, it seems Vistek requires you to pay for the produce at the store before you can open the package... Sucks... Side bar note... likely not going back there... Regardless, I paid for it, opened the box, we had 7D with us for comparison, and when the new battery refused to start the new R7, I put the battery from the 7D into the R7 and all was good with the body. When we got home I put the new battery in the new supplied charger and let it sit on charge for half an hour.  Put the battery in the R7 and... NOTHING, same as if I had no battery in. I have seen this issue before.  The Canon LC-E6 chargers require communications to the internal chip in the battery to determine charge level.  But.. the chip require enough battery power to run.  So, too dead of a battery, no way to charge. I used fine volt meter probes to measure the battery and it was way less than 7.2 volts... way below the nominal 8.4 volts.  I attached the...
