At an Exhibition

With lockdown easing here in Norway it was possible to attend an exhibition of treasures loaned to a local gallery by the closed National Gallery. There were some real Norwegian treasures to look at. A great day out.

Leica Q2 Monochrom
ISO 3200
PP in Capture One (Yes. I’m trying out new Software. I’ve always missed Aperture and never felt totally at home in LR). Why did Apple give up on it?  So, Tim Cooke when you read this, as I’m sure you do each week you will know my pain 😊

not in use anymore

This is a Thomas converter. It’s used in steel plants to increase the quality of steel and produce the so-called Thomas steel after the British discoverers Percy Gilchrist and Sidney Gilchrist Thomas. Those interested in more details, I’d also recommend reading the corresponding article in the German Wikipedia, because it is IMHO better than the English one.

The converter in the above image is one of the smaller ones (the kids are about 1.70m tall) used in a small steel plant. It was hanging in the plant and when the steel was ready, the converter swung over a train to spill out the liquid steel for further processing.

More of my images can be seen on my own blog.
