    Not all religious people are like this.

    Granted. Speaking as one. There are, however a number of classes of religious persons and believers in various other 'isms' (in particular certain political 'isms') that this very much applies to.

    Anything that takes over a person's identity has this exact effect. From the extremists in either major political party to football teams, religions (and atheists) and people who wrap their identity around a brand name.. ie - Apple or Android, Ford & Holden, Mac or Windows, Canon vs Nikon etc etc.. humans aren't, by and large, rational across all things.

    So very true, Paul Pichugin.

    Change that sign holder to a anti vaccine study and who is right?

    Ah, but the anti-vax studies are provably false, and so are not facts, but lies. Your argument does not succeed.

Using a Solarcan Puck at lower lattitudes

Image
 The Solarcan Puck is a great little reusable solargraphy camera. It has a relatively wide aperture (f/90), so it can create  a decent image in a single day.  The limitation is that it has (for a camera of this type) a relatively narrow field of view - about 120 degrees.  This means that if you have it mounted vertically, you are going to be able to record angles up to 60 degrees above the horizon. This is fine if you are above about 50 degrees latitude. At about 50 degrees, the sun will never be higher than about 60 degrees above the horizon. Why that value? Probably because of where Solarcan are based:  in Scotland.  What do the the rest of the world have to do then? You can restrict yourself to winter months - but that is not much fun.  The other alternative is to angle your Puck upwards. But how far?  In the worst case, on the Equator, the sun will be directly overhead at Solstice. This means that the Puck will have to be angled upwards at least 30 degrees - but this would mean tha

Cyanotype In-Camera Imaging - Part 1

Image
Back in October last year, I picked up some "Solarprint" paper from an educational supply house that was having a sale. For some weeks I thought about what to do with it, and eventually decided that the usual path of making contact prints or photograms with it was a bit too dull, and that I would build a camera and take photos with it.  Now I am by no means the first person to do this - although the idea of producing cyanotype camera negatives is surprisingly recent. As far as I can tell, the first person to do it was photographer,  John Beaver, in 1999 - over 150 years after the development of the chemistry ! More recently, blogger Nag on the Lake published a how-to for cardboard cameras in 2019. Meanwhile, Ray Christopher has been experimenting with using cyanotype paper as a medium-format negative. The cyanotype process chemistry is rather unusual in that is not particularly sensitive to visible light. It is most sensitive to UVA down to the visible spectrum. One of the s
