For my dad, Izold Pustylnik И.Б.Пустыльник , Изольд Бенционович Пустыльник : *********************************************************************************************************** I: Dad, why we are not following rules written in Old Testament? He: Why should I live as was written 5000+ years ago, if after this time civilization created so many great things? ************************************************************************************************************ He: Intresting, from population of 6 billions living in World, only 10,000 are pushing progress by leading scientific research. *********************************************************************************************************** He: For adult man the is no such thing as age… (Don’t use it as an excuse) *********************************************************************************************************** He: It was language and communication skills that made our ancestors become humans. Transition was incredibly rapid. *********************************************************************************************************** This album is dedicated for my father who passed away on 05/02/08. Izold Pustylnik was a very intellectual person, and a good father. He was born in pre-WWII Odessa, USSR, in 1938. During difficult years of war he and his mom were evacuated to the Caspian Sea area. They had to move to new destinations every couple months to escape from Nazis. After the war their returned to hometown to find out they had no place to live. However, life went on. Izold finished high school in 1954 with silver medal. In 1960 he graduated cum laude from Odessa University as an astronomer. In 1962 Izold started working at Tyravere Observatory, where he had been working till his last day. He had more than 200 scientific publications in astrophysics and astronomy. Please visit his homepage: http://www.aai.ee/~izold/index1.html Dear all, photos from this album can be copied, published and re/used, but only with reference to author and IzoldPustylnik Stan -------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN MEMORIAM IZOLD PUSTYLNIK И.Б.Пустыльник, Изольд Бенционович Пустыльник (17 March 1938 – 2 May 2008) Izold Pustylnik, eminent astronomer and senior research associate at the Tartu Observatory, died on the early morning of May 2, 2008. Izold Pustylnik was born on March 17, 1938 in the family of millers in Odessa, Ukraine. There he graduated from the secondary school with high grades and cum laude from Odessa University. In 1962 he applied for a postgraduate position at the Institute of Physics and Astronomy, Academy of Sciences of the then Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic. Remarkably, only three months after starting his postgraduate studies, Pustylnik delivered his first academic seminar paper at the institute in the Estonian language. His skills in acquiring new languages were impressive: in the institute’s personnel records from 1992 Pustylnik has rated his command of Russian, Estonian, English and Polish as excellent, and Ukrainian, German and French as languages he could read and translate, and Hungarian as the language he commanded at conversational level. After his post-graduation studies, Pustylnik defended Candidate of Science degree at the University of Tartu in 1958 and DSC at St Petersburg State University in 1994. During the entire time he worked at the Tartu Observatory, Pustylnik researched close binary systems, because these stars, orbiting very close to each other around a common centre of mass, help us learn more about stars than can be done by studying single stars. He even defined a new stellar category – gas-eclipsed close binaries, which are binaries orbiting around each other in the common gas envelope. Though mainly a theoretician, Pustylnik was actively and over a long period in his earlier academic career also involved in observing binary systems. In recent years Pustylnik took interest in famous astronomers and has published, together with Vitalii Bronshten, a monograph on Ernst Julius Öpik, one of the leading Estonian astronomers. Pustylnik also wrote about Stanislavs Vasilevskii, the Latvian astronomer whose talent remained hidden in the tumult of the 20th century, and investigated thoroughly the life and work of http://www.folklore.ee/folklore/vol40/inmemoriam.pdf 148 www.folklore.ee/folklore In memoriam Erich Schoenberg, the Estonian astronomer who worked at the Tartu Old Observatory. Pustylnik’s interests were not limited to the life and work of famous astronomers; he also attempted to draw parallels between the views of ancient astronomers and contemporary thought. At the 2002 Tallinn conference celebrating the passing of 150 years from the measuring of long meridian arc from the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea, which is now known as the Struve Geodetic Arc and which is included into the UNESCO World Heritage List, Izold Pustylnik analysed Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve’s geodetic and astronomical measuring in the light of contemporary astronomical understanding. In the mid-1970s, during the surge of national awakening in Estonia, astronomer Heino Eelsalu began to trace Estonian national identity, almost lost by then, and focused on the interpretation of various myths and archaeological objects from astronomical viewpoint, laying thus a solid foundation for the field of archaeoastronomy in Estonia. For many younger colleagues this opened a new window to the world, and Eelsalu’s enthusiasm fired many, Pustylnik among others. He was an active member of SEAC (European Society for Astronomy in Culture) over many years, and had established contacts with scholars of archaeoastronomy and ethnoastronomy in the entire Europe. He became one of the main organisers of the 2002 International Conference of SEAC, which was held in Tartu, Estonia. At the conference he also delivered a weighty paper ‘Does modern astrophysics widen the horizons of archaeoastronomy?’ (published in SEAC Proceedings, 2002). Pustylnik’s fine language skills allowed him to cooperate with astronomers of many countries of the world. His active lifestyle made him noticed and elected in the boards of international organisations. For instance, Pustylnik was the member of the Euro-Asian Astronomical Society virtually since the establishment of the society. Pustylnik was also one of the main instigators of Euroscience Estonia. By a cruel irony, Pustylnik was gone by the opening of the 2008 international seminar which he had summoned. The seminar was dedicated to the astronomer Ernst Christoph Friedrich Knorre who worked in Tartu before Struve’s era. Izold Pustylnik will be deeply missed by the people of the Tartu Observatory. He was a fine colleague and interlocutor on scientific issues and life in general. Tõnu Viik

Pilots did 3 huge laps over Metro Washington DC toward College Park, Bethesda, South East while returning to sky over National Mall for each maneuver. Amount of people watching event was amazing. I had hard time driving back to work through traffic caused by several accidents, obviously caused by drivers who watched Shuttle Discovery in sky more than road.

Negev travel high resolution photos also Negeb; נֶּגֶב‎‎, is a desert and semidesert region of southern Israel. The Arabs, including the native Bedouin population of the region refer to the desert as al-Naqab : The Negev also Negeb; נֶּגֶב‎‎, is a desert and semidesert region of southern Israel. The Arabs, including the native Bedouin population of the region refer to the desert as al-Naqab (Arabic: النقب‎). The origin of the word Neghebh (or in Modern Hebrew Negev) is from the Hebrew root denoting 'dry'. In the Bible the word Neghebh is also used for the direction 'south'. The Negev covers more than half of Israel, over some 13,000 km² (4,700 sq mi) or at least 55% of the country's land area. It forms an inverted triangle shape whose western side is contiguous with the desert of the Sinai Peninsula, and whose eastern border is the Arabah valley. The Negev has a number of interesting cultural and geological features. Among the latter are three enormous, craterlike makhteshim (box canyons), which are unique to the region; Makhtesh Ramon, Makhtesh Gadol, and Makhtesh Katan. The Negev is a rocky desert. It is a melange of brown, rocky, dusty mountains interrupted by wadis (dry riverbeds that bloom briefly after rain) and deep craters. It can be split into five different ecological regions: northern, western, and central Negev, the high plateau and the Arabah Valley. The northern Negev, or Mediterranean zone, receives 300 mm of rain annually and has fairly fertile soils. The western Negev receives 250 mm of rain per year, with light and partially sandy soils. Sand dunes can reach heights of up to 30 metres here. Home to the city of Beersheba, the central Negev has an annual precipitation of 200 mm and is characterized by impervious soil, allowing minimum penetration of water with greater soil erosion and water runoff. The high plateau area of Ramat HaNegev (Hebrew: רמת הנגב‎, The Negev Heights) stands between 370 metres and 520 metres above sea level with extreme temperatures in summer and winter. The area gets 100 mm of rain per year, with inferior and partially salty soils. The Arabah Valley along the Jordanian border stretches 180 km from Eilat in the south to the tip of the Dead Sea in the north. The Arabah Valley is very arid with barely 50 mm of rain annually. It has inferior soils in which little can grow without irrigation and special soil additives.

I remember how much I was thrilled by process of disassembly, and seeing so many little bolts, washers, clips. Unfortunately, when I assembled radio back, couple bolts remained extra... Dad wasn't pleased of course, because his radio stopped working. Now I'm a father, I thought that disassembling one of faulty lenses from my collection would be great project for my 5 years old son David. He was thrilled... We had good time, and I explained him as much as I could. After we were done with disassembly, I made some photos of lens parts. Please tell me what photos you like most.

Mosquito larvae high resolution photos made with Tamron 90mm f/2.8 1:1 lens. Nile virus carriers. Mosquito eggs in clusters seen on water surface. : Mosquito larvae have a well-developed head with mouth brushes used for feeding, a large thorax with no legs and a segmented abdomen. Larvae breathe through spiracles located on the eighth abdominal segment, or through a siphon, and therefore must come to the surface frequently. The larvae spend most of their time feeding on algae, bacteria, and other micro-organisms in the surface microlayer. They dive below the surface only when disturbed. Larvae swim either through propulsion with the mouth brushes, or by jerky movements of the entire body, giving them the common name of "wigglers" or "wrigglers". Larvae develop through four stages, or instars, after which they metamorphose into pupae. At the end of each instar, the larvae molt, shedding their exoskeleton, or skin, to allow for further growth. Pupa The pupa is comma-shaped, as in Anopheles when viewed from the side, and is commonly called a "tumbler". The head and thorax are merged into a cephalothorax with the abdomen curving around underneath. As with the larvae, pupae must come to the surface frequently to breathe, which they do through a pair of respiratory trumpets on the cephalothorax. However, pupae do not feed during this stage. After a few days, the pupa rises to the water surface, the dorsal surface of the cephalothorax splits and the adult mosquito emerges.

Lens Fungus : In hunt to get inexpensive sharp telephoto prime lens, I bought Sigma 400mm f/5.6 APO for $255 from ebayer with 100% positive feedback. Lens arrived well packaged, perfect looking externally. Main optical element clean. I made couple test shots that seemed slightly soft. When I looked inside - what a bad surprise. Looks like a dens web. Here are images that I made using Tamron 90mm f/2.8 1:1 macro. I already contacted seller, notifying about problem. But don't know yet what he will answer me after seeing the images. I was reading on web about Lens Fungus and found one poster mentioning that lenses are most affected if stored in leather cases. Mold is also fungus, by the way. This lens came in nice black leather case. Fungus is feeding on organic matter (dead wood, dry bread, other carbohydrates). I don't believe that lens byitself is good food, but if leather case is contaminated - spores will get inside of lens and will try to grow - web like. On one of my images, if looked at "Original" multiple grain-like spores are visible with sprouts starting from them. Bottom line: Don't use leather cases for lens storage. Don't keep any food in same bag/backpack, even in different section of same bag. Stan

Southern Estonia early spring 2008, also Tartu Elva Streets Nature buildings and faces : Here are photos from early spring 2008 made in southern part of Estonia. Estonia is small independant country located across Baltic Sea from Finland. Population is less then 1.5 million. Being located near Russia's border this country has been in the middle of battles and under multiple powers. More info could be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonia Country where I lived first 29 years of my life welcomed me with regular cloudy, semi-cloudy and soggy weather. What I was pleased to see - harmony between new and old. New colorful supermarkets and old buildings located in same city blocks. People are same friendly as before. I had no time to visit Tallinn. Images shown here were made in Tartu( second city by population), in Elva, places called Illi, Peedu, Mosina.

KonicaMinolta 7D first week testing : Camera design is superior. Very convinient for user. Many external buttons are allowing to change almost any setting with a second. Also Anti Shake of camera body is working very effectivelly, and I was able to get terrific results even at 300mm focal lenth without tripod in dim lighting (look at images N10,11 and 12). Every image uploaded is original, with EXIF data visible for you. Older 3500xi external flash doesn't work properly with this body. Overexposed images in this album are showing it. Most cheap lens that I had in my backpak - Quantaray 28-90mm f/3.5- 5.6 is not working with this camera. Body simply dosn't see it. Giving "No Lens Attached" error.. :) However AF Macro tubes are working fine!!!! Hurrah! I didn’t use RAW here and not “extra fine JPG”. All portraits with handheld camera, higher ISO, without flash (I don’t like any flash). Kayakers made with 70-300mm Sigma DL but with AntiShake enabled. Macros of flowers made with Minolta 50mm f/1.7 lens and Kenko extension tubes. Night sky shots with Minolta 50mm f/1.7 and Sigma 24mm f/2.8. Sigma 24 f/2.8 for city/ HWY long exposures. Look at exif data of each image(under each image – mode details). Some shots are blue or yellowish because I played with WB- Kelvin to start feeling what it does. Also, to see full size image click on “Original”
