Yes, 1/30s f/8 ISO100, quite impressive for UV. :-)

I'm intrigued by the area around the smokestack. In UV the vapors are so much more visible than in the Visible photo.

 

I like these last 3 very much.

yes.. i agree. unfortunately i find it difficult to camp out there and photograph since the garbage truck drivers perhaps think i am trying to shut down their incinerator and consequently their jobs.

 

i need to find something else - i am sure this spring/summer will make for better comparisons

[Andrea B.]

oh good grief !!

[bobfriedman]

oh good grief !!

 

no kidding... one guy almost stopped (in the garbage truck).. other than that just unsavory stares and i was there all of 5-10min.. i don't really care too much.. just don't want them thinking i am from the EPA

It is impossible to assess a particular situation not having been there, but would a card help? Offer interested parties like your truck driver guys a business type card with your name, email addr and website (or whatever) to reassure them you are simply photographing interesting scenes? Bjørn and I made up a card for UVP to hand out when we get questions or to offer up when requesting photographic privileges.

Bob, How about a sign for the side of you vehicle?

Something like, "Bob's Air Quality Control", with your email, website, and phone number on it also. :D

[Andy Perrin]

How about the Ghostbusters hearse? Excellent excuse to creep around with weird gadgetry! Then they will know for SURE you aren’t EPA.

Be safe, wear a hazmat suit, something orange should to the trick, and be friendly, wave at the truck drivers.

Here is the perfect suit:

yes as subsequent comments implied... this would not go well.. believe me.

i prefer to get a Ghillie suit for my next purchase.. would also help with my wildlife efforts

[Andrea B.]

for the weird, medieval, Druid, Green Man look....... :D

[bobfriedman]

nope... actually functional... who knows that might even be me??

[Cadmium]

That Ghillie suit example above has some weapon under the left hand side... gulp.

 

Bob, Don't forget to camouflage your tripod also:

Just hope that no large birds turn you into a nest... ;)
