On Reaching 1200 & The Polar Vortex


Cold does not describe how frigid conditions were in shooting this short video but the clarity of air, combined with the formation of delicate ice sculptures and fortitude of the seagulls and ducks residing in the sound, encouraged yours truly to go out and deal with the elements using an ancient 500mm Nikkor Reflex lens & Sony video camera to do the deed.

With this in mind, doing the video seems fitting rather then writing a blurb about tech & science as the tech used to record this clip is astounding (both old and new) given just how powerful digital has become circa 2014.

I also think reaching 1200 posts is fairly significant but not earth shattering as there's far too much grist in the mill to stop writing about such interesting subjects that warm the cockles of this old writer's heart. :)
