Ferguson Terminal 4 Aug 2015
Made a complete cockup of this shot, sorry. Trying to take the photo quickly as I'm not supposed to take then here and didn't check all my settings, Set on shutter priority on a dark dull day. Till next time.
One in sun, one in the shadow of a snow shower; Meal Fell and Great Cockup from the edge of Great Sca Fell's summit plateau in the northern Lake District.

Pressure mounts on Fitzgibbon over SAS pay scandal
"... Chief of Defence Force Angus Houston has told a Senate committee the matter is being fixed. 'I would like to assure the committee that during the remediation period, no soldier is to be financially disadvantaged,' he said. ..."
Good leaders, lead by example. While Houston & the Defence Minister are still being paid, troopers are not. How long would this problem be around if it was a *pay stuffup* for those with power &/or rank?
What a cockup!
a bit later
"... But if they were OVERPAID it was OK to keep it? I dont think so ..."
Being overpaid small amounts over long periods means a systematic stuff-up. Not recognising the problem, then using a blunt hammer to immediately recover funds is both a morale problem and an indicator of poor command. The issue isn't who's not being paid. It could be a cook, driver or pencil pusher. The issue is the problem is not being resolved quickly and fairly. The fact it is sasr means comeback is difficult if deployed. Hardly the kind of message you want to send - you can do the *dirty work*, sorry about the *pay*.
the next day
"... But the wife of an RAAF pilot says her husband has encountered a similar problem.
Janet, who did not want to give her last name, says they received a letter in January demanding that they pay back almost $13,000 in allowances within about 10 days.
"He was actually flying combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan," she said. ..."
Another article comes out, this time it's RAAF pilots pay being docked. This isn't a glitch but a systematic problem. Cf Defence pay bungle spreads to Air Force

minolta autocord with ilford xp2 (expired 1997). stand development 1+100 rodinal (20c). scanned v600.
these type of vessals were a stop gap in the container cockup,pity they werent around when I went to sea individual cabins,and much better living quarters all round look at the living quarters on the older ones it was taking up too much space,but the older Port line ships were the better looking ships
I saw this Asda advertisment around many bus stops today and I am sure they have got it wrong, can you spot the cock-up?

I noticed that most photos of Kingfishers show a beautiful little bird sitting on a twig, often eating a fish. But in reality most people are more likely to just see a blur of blue and orange flashing low to the ground or stream, just like this one here. So have resisted the traditional shot for this one instead so those people know it was a Kingfisher they saw... :)

my sister and her family flew out to bali on sunday. my oldest niece, krysty, had things to do, so she flew out yesterday morning to join them. she had two hours to kill in sydney so mum said she'd go along to the airport and spend some time with her (and to collect the bananas my sister had bought for mum - $5kg up north compared to $13-14kg here in sydney). i'm on holidays so i decided to join them. big mistake!
mum was up at 4.30am to get the train/bus to my place. i got up at 5.30am to be ready to meet mum downstairs and get the 6.50am bus to the airport to be there at 7.30am (when krysty should have landed and been transferred to the international terminal).
krysty and my other niece's friend came down to sydney from coolangatta and because they did the immigration / check in thing there, when they transferred from the domestic flight to the international terminal in sydney, it was done internally - meaning they were already inside the customs vacuum so could not come back out to the real world... i did question this with my mum on monday night but she assured me that my sister had assured her it would all be ok.
musn't grumble - i like going to the airport and watching the people come and go :)
The neighbour's cat Two Bob. I meant to switch on the built-in flash.
Technically dreadful result, but somehow strangely compelling...
Livingston -v- Dundee May 2005.
Dundee drew and were relegated. Livi used an allegedly ineligible player.
Plenty of seats inside but some cockup meant Dundee travelling fans had to watch from outside the ground. Tam McManus. Caballero also played.
as suggested by shallwin :) If you are a hen, you probably will fall for him at first sight.

Somehow, this cock is better looking than my cock ( I mean my chicken)
Hmmm...somehow cocks look better covered in feathers
This one is often seen in the company of a couple of nice looking hens.

This is how Yahoo hancrafts SERPs. Sorry about re-posting this mut I just fear that the original might suddenly disappear from Flickr. This leak is another cock-up from Yahoo.
This is a cockup that turned up on my hard drive after doing an automatic merge of two tone-mapped HDRs where one had somehow got inverted. I liked it so much I decided to show everyone.

This is my latest bit of tinkery. I made 4 pin hole cameras out of photographic paper middles (made of very thick cardboard and capped with two plastic ends) and this is test number 4. They were all shot onto Ilford RC Multigrade (gloss unfortunately).
The first three of the day were all shot on location somewhere else but having come home and developed them, they were all very overexposed making me think my hole was bigger than I first thought. So after my first three cockups I produced this one with a 10 second exposure from the roof of my house. I then took a photo of it on my digital camera and inverted it in Photoshop, nothing else done to it.
Not a good day today: when our daughter wanted to use the car this morning... it was gone.
After the WHAT came the obvious sadness: it is a bit like losing a friend. There are terrible things going on in t he world today. So, yes, this will latre be filed under minor mishaps an cockups but still: we're not laughing.
And yes we will replace it no matter what with something with wheels on at least. And no EV, sorry greens, not on my watch.
Give it back, please?
sometimes a light leak can be disastrous - hopefully no one was walking along this jetty when it struck.
This smartly dressed guy is no ordinary cock, he's a male Red Jungle Fowl A super cock among the cocks. He wears a bright red comb and wattle, strong, confident, sturdy, cocky, resilient and undoubtedly the king of cocks.
His long sharp spur can easily inflict serious injuries to any other cock who is cock enough to mess around with his hen. He would stop at nothing until all challenger cocks are entirely annihilated. Sometimes even non-cock subjects deem threatening are targeted including human. There are reports of this fucker vigorously attack and destroy a M1 Abrams tank because of its menacing gun turret pointing straight at him. He even managed to bring down a fully armed F15 fighter jet flying at 15,000ft on its way to a sortie in Iraq because there is pic of a horny cock painted at the underside of its starboard wing. Fortunately the unwary pilot manage to bail out successfully. Only to find himself being attacked and shredded to pieces once landed on the ground where the cock is waiting anxiously.
Wish my cock (I mean chicken) is as gorgeous as this cock :)

an uncommon photo of a very common bird. Still retaining some of the colourful features of its wild relative, the original red jungle fowl.
It's also a rare sight to see one walking in the park these days.
He is like a piece of tasty walking Mc chicken. It won't be long before it ended up on somebody dinner plate.

Classic Festiniog Gala - a Tribute to the late Alan Pegler
Interesting composition this! (otherwise known as a cockup - using portrait shutter release button I occidentally pressed it against the fence!)
Taken with a Vivitar "Ultra Wide and Slim" camera, this cheap simple camera has developed something of a cult following, it has a 22mm lens and a fixed shutter speed.
Shot on Maco Eagle developed in Rodinal 1:25 for 12 minutes.
I messed this up fine style, the lid came off the developong tank shortly after I poured the developer in! Although I replaced it immediately, severe fogging was inevitable, I've done what I can to rescue the negs in the scanning, but the results are pretty poor.
I took this picture today at the Asda near work. This was right in the entrance, it's the first thing you see!
A colourful cock looking for mate/food
This guy is the ancestor of our KFC...he does'nt look that tasty at this stage.
Can he fly far? a burning question posed by one of my curious followers...the answer is...I'd never knew of any cock that is capable of sustained flight. The only cock that can do that in this planet is a cocket.... But in order to turn it into a practical proposition, there is a hose of other cocky engineering problems which he needs to overcome, such as what propulsion system to employ, what's the top cock speed he's able to attain, will his cock head drop off at lift-off ?, will the vortex created at his tail section disrupt the airflow under his cock wings in a manner which causes the entire cock to spin out of control even during a straight and level flight? what kind of cocky fuel to use for max power take-off ? would the cock split into 2 pieces if 2 of its critical engineering parameters were not correctly set in one of the elecocknic control module?? There are cases where the pitot tubes is blocked by dauber wasp's nest and lead to the malfunction of the airspeed indication system. This could potentially result in a fatal crash and kill the flying cock in a flash. Luckily this kind of incidence has became a thing of the past as technology has replaced the obsolete pitot tube with a thing called the cock mouth. This latest gadget will eliminate all the potentially fatal problems associated with the out-of-date mechanical design. The flying cock can just simply and conveniently open its mouth during flight to sample the air stream, a differential pressure is then generated between the tip of its mouth and the tip of its tongue and its cock brain will be able compute the actual airspeed accurately and keep the cock flying straight and level especially in autopilot mode. The wasp will have to find another place to build its nest as the cock usually keep his mouth shut after landing.
One critical aspect is during the final landing phase which most of the engineering goes into designing its on board computer. The hardware must be robust and rugged enough to withstand the extreme vibrations when the cock touch down. The computer must not overload and cock up due to the huge amount of data which it needs to process at this instance. The software must be structured to disregard the low priority jobs for the high priority ones to avoid receiving the scary 1202 and 1201 computer overload alarms just like the Apollo 11 did. There are millions of things need to be done right just one thing wrong would certainly result in a fatal cock crash killing the fragile cock instantly and even some other curious cocks and hens watching nearby That would be a horrific cocky disaster.
Worst of all, what if a nasty naughty malware/pc virus somehow escaped detection from the free anti-virus software website www.whyUsoCock.com suddenly come alive and screw-up the operating software and blow the entire cock out of existence during landing time. We may never know for sure..........so better not to know
Nevertheless, the cock must be kept alive at all cost.

I've always been an advocate of natural lighting. I still am. But I've also been interested in other ways of lighting a shot. And there are so many ways of doing so.
One way I've tended to shy away from is flash. In the past I only had a fixed head flash, or built in flashes and got lousy results. Until discovering the freedom of digital, and before seeing the inspiring work of so many people on Flickr, I didn't know what to do with a flash and so just didn't use it. But recently the idea of getting a decent flashgun popped into my head. I still don't really know quite what to do with a flashgun but I'm sure it will open up all sorts of possibilities.
