Just In Case We Are Swallowed...

[colyn]

Does this mean my weekend plans are shot???😱 😱

Will digital cameras work in this black hole??😛

Just In Case We Are Swallowed..., by the Black Hole to be created in a few hours in Switzerland.....

DON'T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR CAMERA !

In the next hours I will be killing time thinking which of them I will take. Since we are talking about a dark black hole, most of the chances I will wrap my neck with a Lynx 14 and its glorious f/1.4 lens. ("One camera - one lens", that's the trend, right ?) Ruben

Lynx 14 with its f1.4 lens is a good choice for shooting in a black hole. Very low light in black holes from those articles I've read in Popular Science. Load her up with Tri-X and push the daylights out of it. 🙂

We joke, but I personally believe that that's why there have been so many UFO sightings this year. Swiss Smasher goes POOF, and the grays take over what's left of the planet.

I don't believe any of it, but (Okum's razor or someone like that said hedge your bets) I will follow pevelg, load the cameras and take my music and one of my guitars.

I'm taken my Ramirez 4e along with the study methods of Noad and Parkening. I'm still a beginning student, studying under Douglas Niedt. Best guitar instructor I've had. Currently studying "Study in A (Opus 60, No. 3)" by Matteo Carcassi, found in method 2 by Parkening. Great piece, but difficult for me.

I'm going to take my corroded M4 that I dropped in the water at the beach years ago. In an alternate universe, it might be pristine again!

In an alternate universe it probably is pristine, right as we speak!

End of the world...
Dang, that always happens right after I wash my car.

Actually, it's going to be a 18 lbs. dSLR!!! 😀

The Large Hadron Collider is all set to go online for the first time at CERN tomorrow. It's a 17 mile long loop, 300' below the surface, with insanely large superconducting magnets spaced out around it. The idea is to accelerate particles (protons) to ridiculous speeds in opposite directions and then slam them into each other - where a detector lies in wait, to see what particles are flung off (e.g. the Higgs Boson).

Some people would have you believe that a black hole will be created and swallow the Earth. 😉

Kinda like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac slamming into the deficit...talk about black holes!!!!:bang:

I guess in an alternate universe I'll be handsome, so nobody will care about the camera around my neck, I'll be the star! 😉

OTOH 😱

pevleg, Noad, I took his TV course in 1968. I still play some of those pieces. I even have his TV book if you are interested I'll send it to you.

We'd better have a quick meeting in Seattle at the Big Time (http://www.bigtimebrewery.com/)!

😱

Oh crap. Just when my Merkur 38C double edge razor arrived (I have f-ing had it with cartridges with a gazillion blades!) ... I won't be able to use it. Oh wait, in the new universe I will be able to perfectly wield a straight razor on a face lathered with heavenly cream produced by a silver badger brush and the badger was NOT killed inhumanely.

Oh wait, this is RFF, not Badger & Blade.

I'll have every Zuiko ever made, including the 50/1.2 on an OM-4 (not T) with modified circuit, plus a pristine M4. And my bad leg will be Swaggert-ized and I'll be able to carry an 8x10 on a tripod over my shoulder, with a nubile young lass schlepping carriers loaded with TMax 400 and Kodachrome 25 in glorious, glorious sheets.

Is this related to the greenish tone of your avatar? Is this tone UFO undetectable or on the contrary ?

Cheers

OK, let's think smaller and positively. What conspiracy may take place there in Switzerland 40 floors underground.

Switzerland....Switzerland....Switzerland.... Ahh perhaps the leading scientists there are thinking to make an electro magnetic pulse that will enable them to simultaneously steal many of the Swiss big banks (and a chocolate shop too) to fund research on cancer, aids, etc ?

 

[yanidel]

Everybody still here ????
The first collision took place at 9:33 ago and was successful. For French speakers, you can follow the evolution of the Black Hole in direct here :http://www.lematin.ch/ 😉
Ruben, what did you intent to photograph in a BLACK hole ?
But wait wait, what is going on, I am disappeari

 

[kievman]

Black HOLES RULE!!!! or was that the Black Hole of Calcutta????!!??? never mind... chuckle chuckle .... My Kiev 3 and Zorkie 4 are all loadied up with Fuji 1600 and Tmax 3200 and ready to GO!!!! Now seeriously folks..... 50,000 beany babys to first picture of the imside of a black hole!!!!!!

 

[Meakin]

Hey - look at the "bright" side...A black hole.... must be the ultimate "dark room"....😉

 

[Keith]

There will of course be Noctilux users everywhere in a black hole ... still taking photos! Ned might be there! 😛

I wonder if you can push TRI-X to 64000?

 

[__hh]

All that money spent to see what happens when 2 bits collide..... if only they used that money to give each RFF member one of those new Noctilux (but then again, would that be enough?)

 

[jmilkins]

Since I started hanging out at RFF my wallet has become a black hole...
