"If we find poetry in the service station and motel, if we are drawn to the airport or train carriage, it is perhaps because, in spite of their architectural compromises and discomforts, in spite of their garish colours and harsh lighting, we implicitly feel that these isolated places offer us a material setting for an alternative to the selfish ease, the habits and confinement of the ordinary, rooted world."
- Alain de Botton, The Art of Travel
Amsterdam, 2012.

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....

1 over 3....hmmm....is that the truth? ....here in KL....
somebody has to compromise and thinking bout sharing...seriously....
hehe....
Ok, all of you (you know who you are) know I don't really care to be in front of the lens but I've been wanting to do SP's so I thought I'd compromise with myself. I should have had lipstick on or something.
This is one of those images that I felt that was not so well shot in my opinion because of the poor lighting at night which resulted with some compromises being made such as significant noise from high ISO. Still, I would imagine that using a tripod in this instance at Gangnam would not create the kind of street shot that I wanted.
Anyway this is the sort of the daily photograhy challenges that I crave and improve at!
Chester is everything one imagines when they think about Old England...the shops tucked away in the Rows or even on the ground floors are really delightful. The Victorian craftsmanship in these half-timber buildings is stunning.
Shot late on a winter day, this was a difficult capture. It is hard to get far enough back, and the wide angle creates a strong distortion. So it took some serious work and compromise getting it upright, but other than a bit of distraction removal this is straight photography.

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.
Lancer: "ShadowKnight Actual, this is codename Lancer. The mission has met complications, I was unable to take the primary extraction with the rest of the team and need immediate pickup, over."
ShadowKnight Actual: "Acknowledged, Lancer. I'll get back to you on the extraction method. What was the hold-up?"
Lancer: "Uhh... I was holding back hostiles while the team was breaking for the helipad. Nearly made it."
ShadowKnight Actual: "Ah, here we go. We cannot send any more aircraft for your extraction, because the US has finished stalling. Darkwater cannot take the risk of Pan-Asia discovering our cooperation with the United States. The USS Honey Badger has agreed to send a small transport boat to the coordinates 7-5... Here... I marked the extraction point on your NAV system. Copy, over?"
Lancer: "Affirmative ShadowKnight Actual. I have the coordinates."
ShadowKnight Actual: "Lancer, you have a window of 75 minutes to make to the harbor before the boat returns to the carrier. Keep a low profile. I suggest taking a route through alleys or through the sewage system. I must warn you that Tokyo is still on lockdown, which means there is a chance that either civilians or personnel may be lurking within the sewers. Just don't get caught, over."
Lancer: "Copied. In the event that I do not make it to the pickup zone on time, what will happen?"
ShadowKnight Actual: "... Don't let that happen. Over and out."
As many these days, I find baking a nice compromise to spend the time inside: I keep busy while trying something new and tea time is suddenly more interesting! This is the carrot cake I made the other week. It was good, even though I didn't have sugar to glaze it.

I need attention, feed on my addiction
I want the action, satisfaction
You have to feed me words that I inquire
So my discord someday takes me higher
I hope to thrill you let expectations rise
I want to bring you somewhere you can't compromise
I'm coming at you like a cannonball
So here's the truth - you are drop dead cynical
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.
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out yoùre gonna have to get used to it
You said yoùd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
Hès not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

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!
This is my last click of a shutter for year 2010. Ironically this is also the first upload for 2011. :-) May this brand new year brings more positives to all of us.
Flash fired at 1/16 from the above. Diffused through a light box.
There was a fair amount of folks who felt that C-3PO might have been a better choice than Vader's helmet, and that's a fair point.
I concepted the idea years ago but only got around to tackling it this year (mostly due to the rigor of producing daily advent calendar pics). The core of the humour in the original is Luke's misguided attempt to honor his father by topping the tree with his helmet. It's a bit of dark humor, which I tend to gravitate towards.
C-3PO as a tree-topper is perhaps a bit obvious, but it works. I think it loses some nuance by shifting the focus from the Skywalker family to broader Star Wars family (Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Artoo, C-3PO), but I can see how some people might prefer this version.
No need to compromise, really — it was easy enough to make two versions!

It’s a compromised composition from what I wanted as people were everywhere. The Jackson locals shared that this has been the busiest Labor Day week in memory.

This image is of car as first seen after hidden wall was pried open in May of 2007. Shroud covering car was wet and moldy, and thus compromised the surface metal of the body panels.
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.
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.)

This is a shot I captured at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2018 rally course during the morning rally. I really liked the colour and contrast of this car especially as it was caught in the sun amongst a dark woodland scene.

From my spring 2017 trip to Iceland. This was near the end of my penultimate day there as I explored the valley (Eyjafjarðardalur) south of Akureyri. I never stopped to count how many of these little churches I photographed as I toured Iceland, but it was several dozen. They dot the entire countryside--at least, the inhabited countryside (you won't find many in the interior which is mostly absent people). This in spite of the fact that the Icelandic peoples are generally not religious--though obviously that wasn't the case decades ago. The vast majority no longer have services, though some are still used for special events.
This was my last stop on this particular exploration of the valley before exploring Akureyri for a bit and eating my evening meal. Then I embarked on a made dash back to the Keflavik Airport, with only a few very brief stops along the way. My flight back to the States left in the early morning, so I didn't have much time to spare. I'd end up only taking a four hour nap in my car that night. I still had to repack my stuff, which going to be more complicated than when I packed originally for Iceland. It's a complicated story, but suffice it to say that I was told I could check two bags for free, and packed accordingly, but when I arrived at the airport to fly out of Kansas City, I was informed only ONE bag could be so checked. I complained to management, and they decided to compromise: I could check two bags for free on the flight out, but only one on the flight back. So! I had to get creative in my packing for the flight back so that I would only need to check one bag. It took me hours, but I finally accomplished that feat. Looking back, that time would probably have been better spent making another stop on my way back to the airport. It was only 50 bucks, but it was more the principle than the money.
I went back and forth on the colour balance but settled on this compromise. The light was very yellow/magenta in the last minutes of the day.
A bit of a compromise this one. I desperately want to get back to some traditional landscapes but I also want to publish something different. I need a lot more practice and no small amount of good luck before that happens.
I don't have many unpublished photos in my back catalogue, but this is another one that keeps grabbing my attention, which I quite like. I thinks it;s the palette that appeals to me.
I find the weight in the right of the frame to be a little too unbalanced which is why I haven't published it before.
I was trying to get some more bird shots by the fountain but the bees kept driving them off (kinda odd) So I had to settle for a water shot instead.

Its been a long time since the last time I took self portrait. This picture makes perfect sense.
When the aperture is 16 (smallest), the light coming to the sensor is less. Fortunately my external flash is smart, it compromised by adding the power of the light. Oh wait, I smell something. be right back!
This was such an enticing view: Mull's comparitively secretive hills & glens arrayed in graphic detail under bright sunshine. This sudden revelation, after hours of rain on the approach, was all rather giddying. Sometimes I find that my subject matter can be so bewitching that it compromises the business of concentrating on how you mean to portray the given scene. In short: I had to pull myself together!
