Most of my LVL work was to determine and map the boundary of the organic material to the first two distinct layers of sand. Consequently, most of my shots would only be sunk a couple of meters into the organic layer. The main crew, however, needed their shots placed down in to the sand - about six meters down.

Actually, the shot below is of a pretty shoddy job. If we'd done it properly, as we did most of the time, there wouldn't have been any blow-out. Here, a large part of the energy of the charge is moving upwards as the shot hole blows out and the noise generated when the dirt falls back to the ground also degrades the signal. But when a shot goes well, there's nothing to photograph.

So I've not been able to place this on Google Earth but it think it was somewhere off Jalan Labi which heads inland from Lumut. It's later in the afternoon and a storm is coming in from the south-east.

So here's the detail view of the classic three view coverage of a subject. The first in the series was the overview, the broad expansive view of the scene. Yesterday I published the vignette, the honing in from the overview into a particular zone of interest. And here is the detail - a further narrowing of the vignette to a specific detail within the view.

I usually try to capture at least three views of a scene: the overview, a vignette and a detail view. Yesterday's shot was the overview - a wide, all encompassing view, typically taken with a wide angle lens. Today's shot is the vignette.

The relatively short dusk duration is captured in this image with the yellows of the setting sun to the west and the darkening skies of night to the east.
