I know the advert boards on the gangway to RS Hispaniola are still not yet evident in the ST. PAT DAY vid on 16MAR2014. And we have the construction shrouding on Westminster until mid-April 2014. Does that sum it up for our EMB bookends? Not to mention the missing trafcam in the St. Pat Day celebration vid on 16MAR2014.
How did we get to EMB pics not before 25MAR2014? I thought our working bookend was "not before" the ST. PATS vid. The trafcam shows up again?
Anons this could be considered miscellany but I find a brief mention of the exposure duration in that "painted" photo of a Thames Skyline with a close match to the LisaMI6 MILLBANK BLDG is warranted. It is warranted because the exposure duration, i think should not be long so as to catch every light which flashed for a long duration and then be impossible to compare to a "single image" photograph.
The MILLBANK office lights in the "painted" Thames photo are still quite a good match for the LisaMI6 MILLBANK even though one of the photos has a long exposure. How much "painting" of the one would make it too dissimilar to a single exposure capture. How long an exposure could one get away with to still have a very close match of building lights?
How about 5 minutes. Take a look at the LONDON EYE along the edges. It looks like the LE moved exactly 1/6th of its circumference. f I recall it takes about half an hour to complete a revolution?
30 minutes divided by 6 is 5 minutes.
That would be enuf to get the Royal Air Memorial lights on the Eagle. Now, which one would that be? To catch the light coming on is wrong because all the other lights (on TATTS/HISP) would be just lighting as well for the Dinner service. The Air Memorial lights, if caught temporarily while TATTS & HISP were dark, would be the Air Memorial lighted in late evening/early morning then lights out before dawn perhaps. That may seem wildly speculative but it is merely a converse scenario to the one which is impossible: a dusk/early evening scenario in the middle of Dinner with lights on, not to mention people about. What do anons think of the pattern on LE? Divided in six parts?
Fantastic catch on that Moon in the (oainted) Thames photo. I had been looking at possible absence of the Moon to be explained, but you've saved me from that.
Thank you. That will now be fun to look at to compare the Moon's position relative to new(guessing he chose center of) Hungerford Bridge.
I just refreshed my recollection of the Earth's rotation which causes the Moon to cross the sky at a speed of 4 minutes per one degree of movement across the sky. This is very little (noticeable) movement, and as you mention can be adjusted. So 5 minutes appears can work with hardly any change in Moon position.
>Must mention the Daylight savings habbening and how often the automatic timer exterior lighting in cities is sometimes not in synch with sunset/sunrise for days after the time change. The above is just a mental sketch.
This would have been 30MAR2014, the last Sunday in March. BUT…If some of these old monument lighting timers were set digitally, and not by light sensor, there would come a time that the lighting timers would become out-of-synch as the date, and the need to adjust clocks approached- such as last weeks of March. A thought.
A tap of the brakes may be in order on that 24LONDON "moon". See pic. Need to IDEN. Is that possibly a flag affixed to the lower part of the crane? This is a common practice. Sometimes it may be a corporate logo of the construction company. I could be the Union Jack. It is exactly where the "moon" is seen. Still could be the Moon in those pics as well.
