Spotted in the Lake District, on the slopes of Cockup

A few pictures since Saturday, we have been in lockdown since 1pm Sunday local time now 1pm Friday atm thanks to NSW’s/ Sydney cockup. So I have a funny feeling I might get this finished by Friday, providing I don’t have stuff ups with the rigging that I started late this afternoon.

Last little bit to go...

!8th September 2006 ... the day Chatham's one way system was converted to two-way. It was a complete failure and much of it has been restored after local traders dubbed the Chatham wrong-way system. Another example of the council wasting money, our money!

The cockup witht he lens hood seems somehow to add to this image rather than to detract

Well I’ve been a bit slack of late with updates IRT to build, with what NZ Election, AB’s back on the giggle box and a few cockups with the Ark.

 

It was going to plan with this, but main mast fell apart while I was painting it and trying to reassemble the mast was a pain in the ass.

Anyway it’s finally fixed with today I’ve put the decals on which went ok, until I review the pictures I took today and I realised the markings for port catapult are not straight. Oh well, how sad never mind.

 

Tomorrow will be some rigging and fitting of the hockey sticks.

  

Report from Nondon, noon, 21 Dec 2009: Eurostar cockup at St Pancreas Station: missed carriages of justice. Labour pain (New, old New, etc).

I have no idea how the blue window happened. I took the metering from the building on the right in the shade then composed the image as you see it.

I spent fully half an hour contemplating the problem of a mirror lockup on my Olympus OM 10 before it occurred to me to check the battery.

 

Really, someone should take it away from me.

That's what the hill's called! Shot from about halfway down Binsey, the most Northerly of the Lakeland fells.

This shot was originally a cockup as I didn't change the appropriate settings (shutter) when photographing the sky in the middle of the hot Taipei day. I liked what came out, wll, I saw that it could become something likeable. With some tiny tweaks from the RAW file, I proudly present: palmtree!

The title refers to me, not the owl. Took the pic without re-setting the camera from the moon shots the other night! Hence virtually black image! Managed to salvage this via the wonders of CS3. Just goes to show that Eos 5D's are not idiot proof!!

I found I'd taken the UV filter off my lens with the hood. When I put it back on, I guess I trapped some warm air, which condensed all over the filter. Took me a minute to spot what had happened.

Some people think that 'Trains courts' means "Short trains", or even "Trenes cortos", but that's only half the story.

 

What 'Trains courts' it really means is "Trains, run!", which is what you have to do like hell when you discover that there are only four carriages and not the usual eight, and that you're standing right at the very wrong end of a laughably long platform.

 

Optimal route planning on the Paris public transport system should really be one of the famous French fine arts, up there with the thesps and the Rodins and the Cordon Bleus of this world.

 

An annual contest should be held, where competing teams (for charity, of course) have to visit a certain number of railway stations and return to the starting point in the shortest possible time. The only rules are no 'Train, cours !' (no running, on honour) and you need to have photographic proof of your entire team's presence at each point, on a single memory card.

 

Conjures up images of Jules Verne, doesn't it? Team members would have to agree on the optimal route, navigate skilfully around the tortuous corridors and stairways of the likes of Les Halles and Saint Lazare, and of course suffer setbacks like cancelled trains, tantrums and cockups. And each team should sport official team colours or silly outfit, if course. Heck, it sounds so much fun, I think I'll organise it myself!

The name was a cockup by Linnaeus - this lovely plant comes not from Peru but the western Mediterranean.
