20090903 - Under Pressure: In the Spotlight

Our shiny new precision barometer arrived at work this week. The carrying case is a work of art, made of very heavy, very solid oak!

Thanks to my glamorous assistant Geoff for holding the newspaper-snooted flash in (more-or-less) the right place!

For the TITTC: Something New

I was considering posting yesterday's anti-something-new pic instead :o)

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
1/200s f/9.0 at 93.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

'tis a pretty box... now if they could just get the decimals to match on the readouts, you'd be set

laine		03-Sep-2009 22:54
so does up & down mean you can set the amount of rain to anything you want it to be ?? Geoff deserves a reward for this assistance :)

Now you are on a roll, we are just waiting for "something borrowed" and "something blue"

That's neat, not sure how to read that digital display but the box is beautiful.

Nicely presented using this special light.

You're boxing clever with this one.

Kevin Chester		03-Sep-2009 18:17
All that work in the box and instrument and you have gone and put a ugly white Dyno sticker on it. I hope its calibrated :-) Nice flash work, using the props at hand

Zak		03-Sep-2009 17:47
