I’m walking away from the troubles in my life
(Sto andando via dai problemi della mia vita)
I’m walking away, to find a better day
(Sto andando via per trovare un giorno migliore)
Sometimes some people get me wrong
(A volte le persone mi fraintendono)
when it’s something I’ve said or done
(Per qualcosa che ho detto o fatto)
sometimes you feel there is no fun
(A volte senti che non c’è divertimeno)
that’s why you turn and run
(E’ per questo che a volte ti giri a vai)
but now I truly realise
(Ma ora ho veramente realizzato)
some people don’t wanna compromise
(Che alcune persone non scendono a compromessi)
well I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies
(Beh, li ho visti con I miei occhi dire le loro bugie).
For you, Best vision on FLUIDR:

Have a great day...... Dan !
I was compromised for this train due to a prior appointment, luckily I got done a few minutes earlier than expected and I was able to dash to near Trent, whilst the early running train was being held at the junction - the bad luck though, was as the road where this is taken from is well below track level, when I punted up the pole as they set off, I'd picked a spot that was blighted by bushes, the locos were clear but the stock was compromised, so this has received a fair bit of digital gardening... I also had the drone up, further back, but for whatever reason it failed to fire....
20901/905 at Trent 09/08/23 5E61 0820 Gascoigne Wood-Gt Yarmouth Sdgs.
We'll start at the beginning.
Driving to Coles Bay on a very wet and windy day, it seemed all hope of a clear sky for an early morning shoot had disappeared. But I set the alarm anyway. The conditions didn't even allow me time to scout out a great location. But by 5.00am there was not a cloud in the sky and all was calm. Working quickly is the key. The light begins to change so rapidly.
In this shot we can just make out the first inkling of the dawn. The silhouetted landscape reminded me of a Japanese print I had once seen, so that was confirmation enough of a good spot. So I took the shot on manual focus (it's just too dark for AF) and hoped for the best.
Years ago I was a member of an amateur astronomical society and used to know the Southern Sky like the back of my hand. I was glad that I still recognised the key features. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (dwarf galaxies neighbouring our own Milky Way). The Southern Cross (Crux) is there, although more difficult to make out in the pristine sky unaffected by city lights. And most pleasing of all to me is how clearly the Coalsack Nebula showed up.
The Coalsack Nebula is the most prominent dark nebula in the skies, visible to the naked eye as a dark patch obscuring a brief section of Milky Way stars as they cross their southernmost region of the sky just south of Crux. I even had a couple of shooting stars during the exposure - you'll see one here in this shot.
The choice of black and white was simple in the end. It provided a clarity that the colour version lost as the emerging dawn light tended to overshadow the real stars of the show (pardon the pun).
[I've tagged the key astronomical features for you. I tried to keep the exposure as short as possible so that the stars remained points of light and didn't show the earth's rotation. At the same time I wanted to minimise my ISO to reduce noise. In the end ISO400, f/4 and 15 seconds was my compromise.]
Shooting on the hoof is always a compromise and this image is a good example of that. Having missed a glorious rainbow on my way home from work on the previous afternoon, I decided to take my camera gear to work the following day just in case I encountered favourable conditions. As I approached Sawley Marina, I could already see banks of mist rising from the surface of the River Trent and its surrounding area. Not wishing to miss out, I hurriedly parked and rushed to the edge of the Sawley Cut. There was no time to set up a tripod or mess about with filtration as I composed this image by standing on a small wooden jetty. This was probably the best I could do under the circumstances and I know that I saw what I considered to be the strongest composition from my car as I crossed the bridge over the Trent, but there was no way I could have got there in time or got to work on time. I also regret the vapour trails in the sky - traditionally a big no-no in the world of serious landscape photography, though I am not prepared to clone them out as they were there and I don't wish to be dishonest. It's difficult to avoid them with this location being so close to East Midlands Airport.
With the bird flying almost towards me and me facing into the flight this was never going to be as crisp as other shots.....however there's something about this I really like - mainly the light in the background reed beds and the softness that it creates in the image.
Got plenty to keep me busy however I do get an itchy shutter finger when the weather stops play. Where's this crisp, hard winter that was getting talked about?
Press L but no more as can't take too much.
Ringed Ouzel, old female showing the diagnostic white contour patterning on it´s wing; in flight the wings look pretty light while the body gives blackish impression on the field.
Sorry about the nasty environment; feeding sites usually doesn´t look so very natural. That´s why I try to avoid them, but sometimes you got to make compromises.

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall
I never used to be a troublemaker,
Now I don't even want to please the fans,
No autographs,
No interviews,
No pictures,
And less demands,
Given advice that was clearly wrong,
The type that seems to make me feel so right,
But some things you may find can take over your life,
Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places,
And there's nowhere left for me to turn,
Been caught in compromising situations,
I should have learnt,
From all those times I didn't walk away,
When I knew that it was best to go,
Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart,
This is such a fun UV fluorescence image, taken uncropped and only slightly edited from a Lumix S1R with the kit lens, and five Adaptalux UV lighting arms. Read on to head down the rabbit hole!
The name is believed to be a combination of two Greek words, “ellos/hellos” which means “fawn”, and “bora” meaning “food”. Looking like this flower could be hanging in a FernGully ballroom, that’s where the name of this image comes from. The more you know! :)
A behind-the-scenes photo of the setup will help with the rest of the description immensely, so here it is: donkom.ca/bts/_1090222.jpg . This image isn’t shot with a macro lens, and it isn’t cropped in any way. The Lumix S 24-105mm F/4 lens is more capable for macro photography than any other such lens I’ve used, making it even more versatile. The image needs to be photographed in complete darkness for the ultraviolet light to fluoresce and give off visible light, which is why I have layers of black cloth overtop which would completely cover the subject, with lights off, when taking the image.
The light source here was the Adaptalux lighting system with five UV lighting arms. One looks a little different as it was a prototype they had sent me during their product launch, but I purchased the other four as well as the control pod 2.0 which has a “boost” feature to really push the brightness of the lights at the end of controllable, flexible arms. I’ve used a lot of UV light sources, but this is the most consumer approachable. No modifying flashes with exotic filters, though you need complete darkness and longer exposures with higher ISO settings.
For those curious (you’re still reading, right?), the image was shot at F/18 for the greatest depth of field without compromising the resolution of a 47MP sensor, ISO 1600 and a 30sec exposure. I always do a test with the UV lights off before I go ahead, looking to see a completely dark image. If it’s pitch black, it means that the ambient light will not contaminate the scene. What you’re seeing here is UV from the Adaptalux arms and no ambient light. The speckled colours on the leaves are native to the cultivar (Helleborus Vavavoom Pink) and visible in regular light as well, but the fluorescence is due to its heritage.
Hellebores, also called Lenten Roses or Christmas Roses, are part of the Buttercup family. I’ve seen some very interesting fluorescence as well as ultraviolet reflectance – the light that insects can see – produce unexpected results here. We have some Marsh Marigolds, also in the same family, that produce a very deep and dark pattern to attract pollinators ( www.flickr.com/photos/donkom/34783610615/ ). I’d love the opportunity to explore more flowers in this family and others to uncover the secrets that they hide, like this Chandelier of light visible only to those who see the world differently.

This is the same foggy bright day, but is a composition of two shots top and bottom in CS3, Topaz Denoise, Adjust and Detail, together with levels bit of selective colour mixing and blending. I wish I could take the one shot with a wide angle lens but don't have one so this was my compromise. Hope you like.
Reminds me of the old Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog cartoons where the factory whistle blows and they stop chasing each other until the lunch hour is over.
I've seen Robber Flies during their amorous activities many times...but never in this position before! It appears they've learned a new trick from the Kama Sutra!

Usually I'm not a huge fan of the 2x converter, as the AF slows right down. However, it is a very useful tool for closer stationary birds to get in nice & close without compromising much on details at all.

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Dam
Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. Constructed between 1931 and 1936, during the Great Depression, it was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over 100 lives. In bills passed by Congress during its construction, it was referred to as the Hoover Dam, after President Herbert Hoover, but was named Boulder Dam by the Roosevelt administration. In 1947, the name Hoover Dam was restored by Congress.
Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water, and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium named Six Companies, Inc., which began construction in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques used were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule.
Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead and is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction, with 7 million tourists a year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened.

85 years after its completion, Hoover dam is still considered an engineering marvel. It is named in honor of President Herbert Hoover, who played a crucial role in its creation.
For many years, residents of the American southwest sought to tame the unpredictable Colorado River. Disastrous floods during the early 1900’s led residents of the area to look to the federal government for aid, and experiments with irrigation on a limited scale had shown that this arid region could be transformed into fertile cropland, if only the river could be controlled. The greatest obstacle to the construction of such a dam was the allocation of water rights among the seven states comprising the Colorado River drainage basin. Meetings were held in 1918, 1919 and 1920, but the states could not reach a consensus.
Herbert Hoover had visited the Lower Colorado region in the years before World War I and was familiar with its problems and the potential for development. Upon becoming Secretary of Commerce in 1921, Hoover proposed the construction of a dam on the Colorado River. In addition to flood control and irrigation, it would provide a dependable supply of water for Los Angeles and Southern California. The project would be self-supporting, recovering its cost through the sale of hydroelectric power generated by the dam.
In 1921, the state legislatures of the Colorado River basin authorized commissioners to negotiate an interstate agreement. Congress authorized President Harding to appoint a representative for the federal government to serve as chair of the Colorado River Commission and on December 17, 1921, Harding appointed Hoover to that role.
When the commission assembled in Santa Fe in November 1922, the seven states still disagreed over the fair distribution of water. The upstream states feared that the downstream states, with their rapidly developing agricultural and power demands, would quickly preempt rights to the water by the “first in time, first in right” doctrine. Hoover suggested a compromise that the water be divided between the upper and lower basins without individual state quotas. The resulting Colorado River Compact was signed on November 24, 1922. It split the river basin into upper and lower halves with the states within each region deciding amongst themselves how the water would be allocated.
A series of bills calling for Federal funding to build the dam were introduced by Congressman Phil D. Swing and Senator Hiram W. Johnson between 1922 and 1928, all of which were rejected. The last Swing-Johnson bill, titled the Boulder Canyon Project Act, was largely written by Hoover and Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work. Congress finally agreed, and the bill was signed into law on December 21, 1928 by President Coolidge. The dream was about to become reality.
On June 25, 1929, less than four months after his inauguration, President Herbert Hoover signed a proclamation declaring the Colorado River Compact effective at last. Appropriations were approved and construction began in 1930. The dam was dedicated in 1935 and the hydroelectric generators went online in 1937. In 1947, Congress officially "restored" Hoover's name to the dam, after FDR's Secretary of the Interior tried to remove it. Hoover Dam was built for a cost of $49 million (approximately $1 billion adjusted for inflation). The power plant and generators cost an additional $71 million, more than the cost of the dam itself. The sale of electrical power generated by the dam paid back its construction cost, with interest, by 1987.
Today the Hoover Dam controls the flooding of the Colorado River, irrigates more than 1.5 million acres of land, and provides water to more than 16 million people. Lake Mead supports recreational activities and provides habitats to fish and wildlife. Power generated by the dam provides energy to power over 500,000 homes. The Hoover Compromise still governs how the water is shared.

La prima notizia di Pitigliano appare in una bolla inviata da papa Niccolò II al preposto della cattedrale di Sovana nel 1061, dove viene già indicato come luogo di competenza della famiglia dei conti Aldobrandeschi. Nel 1293 Anastasia, figlia della contessa Margherita Aldobrandeschi, sposò Romano Orsini portando in dote la contea di Sovana e la sede della contea fu trasferita proprio a Pitigliano. Gli Orsini governarono queste terre per secoli, difendendole dai continui tentativi di sottomissione da parte di Siena e Orvieto prima, e della Firenze medicea poi. Fu solo nel 1574 che Niccolò IV Orsini cedette la fortezza ai Medici e nel 1604 Pitigliano fu annessa al granducato di Toscana, ceduta dal conte Gian Antonio Orsini per saldare i propri debiti.
Pitigliano and its area were inhabited in Etruscan times but the first extant written mention of it dates only to 1061. In the early 13th century it belonged to the Aldobrandeschi family and by the middle of the century it had become the capital of the surrounding county.
In 1293 the county passed to the Orsini family, signalling the start of 150 years of on-again/off-again wars with Siena, at the end of which, in 1455, a compromise of sorts was reached: Siena acknowledged the status of county to Pitigliano, which in exchange placed herself under the sovereignty of Siena.
From then onwards the history of Pitigliano resorbs into the gradually wider ambit first of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany (1562) then of the united Kingdom of Italy.
The Italia may be a piece of beautiful art and at the same time, a speed demon, and the GTO is just superb. But with such an non-compromising design and the technology that comes with it, the Enzo is truly one of the best in Ferrari's lineup. And it gets even better when there are very few in Asia, and I get to shoot one of this rare specimen.
Rest day for me on Monday. Forecast was wall to wall sun down the coast and also throughout the wider Cumbria so I devised a plan.
I was going to shoot the 05.46 BIF - CAR at St. Bees but the lazyarse in me decided to have a couple of snoozes so that decision was revoked in favour of Flimby.
Then a Kingmoor - Sellafield working was activated in the path of the 6C22 flasks so there was another re-jig as the workings would pass at Flimby. There would be better lighting for trains in opposite directions at Workington docks and I would have time to re-frame for a southbound shot following the northbound.
Anyway, here's 37409 at Derwent Junction. Sun's not quite on the nose but you can't have it all.
This shallow pond is a limited attraction for the visiting birds... it is seldom flooded. The field of standing corn in the background is the main attraction that draws in so many cranes and waterfowl to this refuge in the winter months. They are the sole beneficiaries of this crop that is progressively flattened as winter proceeds. Cranes also like the added protection of shallow pools like this... it's much more difficult for predators such as coyotes or bobcats to sheak up on them in settings like this. (Such settings also attract photographers like me to capture their visual offerings.) The combination of cranes in both bright sun and shade settings for this image presents an exposure challenge... you need to compromise.

Note: Briar Pinkinshire's story is slowly growing. You can find other hints of her past, along with Pinkinshire's past, in Briar and Braille's photos. <3
I've been dreaming up more of Briar Pinkinshire's story... and I'm really beginning to fall in love with all the history involved in it. This photo provides a glimpse into the world she grew up in, and ironically enough, gives a look at the mirrors that Pinkinshire Forest are filled with. This particular mirror happens to be very special and acts as a key (a door acting as a key, tee hee...) to Briar's past.
I can reveal a little information right now; the rest will fall into place and will become more publicized in the near future. As far as Briar knows, she's an orphan and was raised in Pinkinshire Forest by the creatures that have inhabited it for centuries-- or at least, as long as the stories of Pinkinshire's descendants have been told. She has been asked to hide her pale pink hair by her caretakers, but she has never been told why. She loves her hair though and refuses to show any shame for it. So instead, Briar Pinkinshire lets it grow long and tangled with flowers and whatever little fabric and lace remnants she discovers on her daily walks. This, Briar figures, is at least a compromise she and her caretakers can agree on.
It was only recently that Briar happened to stumble upon this golden rimmed mirror in the forest. She's unsure of what to make of it but knows that it means something great to her and to all the inhabitants of Pinkinshire.
---
On a side note, I was able to pull this outfit together for Briar without spending a penny! My grandma, an antique doll dealer/collector, let me pick out some doll dresses a few months ago. This pale pink dress was in one of her doll rooms and was my favorite find. It's a little too big for Briar, but I like that it slightly hangs off her of shoulders. Her headband actually belonged to me. I decided I didn't need it anymore and cut it to a size that fit Briar's head. <3

This really sums up the compromises of photography. I set off to capture the sunset at Knowlton Henge and half way there the heavens opened and down came the rain. I saw the rainbow developing and grabbed this shot on aperture priority as soon as I arrived. The quality isn't great but the content is super - the compromise.
The picture was shown on the BBC South Today weather slot just over three hours later.

Priceless! The Salmon in this position giving me fodder to have a little fun at his expense/demise...Am I going to hell cause I saw a bit of humor in the image...?? Nope, but for a ton of other stuff perhaps...LOL
***Several contacts have asked exactly where is the location I got these frames. I am so honored to have been invited to join in on this shoot, and the location only holds about 20 tripods and photographers that I am not about to compromise the shoot for the locals and shoot myself in the foot for a come back invitation. Sorry.. I must keep the location in the vault for the locals! : ^ (

So I compromised my principles and used a "contact call" to try to pull this young male into the foreground. Some success in moving him to the periphery, but the the clarity here is very weak.
Further experimentation yielded better results....
The middle ground is easy to find when the view looks the same in both directions. These symmetrical reflections on Blair Lake gave me pause to engage in some more of my ridiculously fluffy thoughts. I ought to be in Congress--naw, those guys couldn't couldn't agree on the contents of an unopened bag of Doritos.

Compromise? I always like to give the main falls an exposure around one second, (or much longer) to give a smooth "veil" appearance, however the small lower falls here, with this much water, really looks best IMO with an exposure around 1/4 sec, so this is a compromise, with around 0.5 sec, with neither looking quite as good as I'd like. (I really should try to "blend" the two best exposures in Photoshop, but I've never found my way around with it.)

Well! It still looks like no-one is going anywhere anytime soon. So let's follow up my modest travelogue "Lockdown Longing" with something closer to home - places we might expect to revisit sooner rather than later. Here's is the ceiling of no. 6, More London Place from February 2006. I've allowed myself a mild compromise of the B&W theme as I like the yellow internal lighting, so I've left it in.
