I suppose failed is a bit of a harsh phrase as I have plans to redo this in the future, but I wanted to post this just to kinda have a marker for where it started
High School Reunion project - shot in collaboration with Ron Nabity. Thanks to the students and instructor of Sacramento City College Photo 392 class for the awesome modeling work!
Strobist: Two AB800s in back of room for rim light. Gridded ABR800 just off-camera left for fill on "Failing Student", SB-26 camera right just outside frame to light "Smart Girl" in the second row, SB-26 in softbox camera right as key, 580 EX bounced off ceiling for general room light and fill.
Late in the day, when the sun starts to descend, an apricot-pink plank of warmth applies itself to the covers and stretches itself to great lengths across the floor and out the door into the hall. But because of my expired film oddities, and desaturation, I once again have something which rather than feeling warm and cozy, appears to be a little spooky. Let’s just go with it: welcome to the haunted beach house. Sheesh.
I put off my picture again until the last minute and tried to shoot a water droplet illuminated by an off-camera flash with a purple gel. Working with speed lights has always been a frustrating experience for me as I have not mastered how to set them up or control them properly. This is the best of the bunch and it is not sharp or clear, but sometimes we have to fail to figure out the areas that need improvement. I might have to keep working on this type of image until I master it.
14:52 Try again, fail again, fail better.
I recently bought a new variable ND filter. My first attempt to use it was a huge fail - extreme overexposure, extreme underexposure. This week I failed again, but I failed better. Set on aperture priority, I'm still underexposing and not getting the smoothing I'd like. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'll keep playing and I'm sure with a few more fails, I'll figure it out. Life's like that. :)

I had the day off yesterday and decided I was going to take some great pictures. I got out my tripod, my lenses and even the manual for camera. I decided to try to see things in a new way. I looked indoors and outdoors. I looked for bright colors and for patterns. I zoomed in for macros and zoomed out for scenery. I took still life shots and action shots. I looked for funny shots and original shots. After hours and hours and hundreds and hundreds of pictures I didn't end up with a single picture I like. So, instead of showing you one failure I decided to show you 16!
BTW, there's a picture in here that shows Mack getting much closer to a black squirrel than I thought was possible.
A close-up texture study, and two more of my mini-mysteries:
1. It is not clear why someone drove this nail into the fence board and post, could not get it to go in very far, and then bent it over in apparent disgust.
At first, I thought the nail failure had led to the installation of the four serious-looking wood screws. However, a close look shows that the nail was driven in and bent AFTER the screws. It is bent OVER the head of one of the screws. Please feel free to offer comments solving the mystery.
2. A scientific sub-mystery: Why did a patch of lichen "decide" to grow just below the head of the bent nail? That is where rain and gravity would lead to depositing rust from the nail. Do some lichen "like" a lot of iron oxide? Let's hope to hear from lichen lovers.

The Stourbridge Line is operated by the Delaware Lackawaxen & Stourbridge Railroad Company and features a former Bangor and Aroostook BL2 and a former Canadian Pacific FP9A dressed up as Pennsylvania 9880 with a Hancock Air Whistle.
The railroad has 25 miles of historic railroad winding through Northeastern Pennsylvania along the Lackawaxen River Valley on former Erie trackage.
It was very hot on this day, so the crew can be excused for having the air conditioning on full blast. The oncoming shots of the F-unit with the door wide open are a complete fail aesthetically speaking, but I'll go back and redo this outfit when the weather turns cooler.

The sharp 1-in-76 climb from Westbury Yard towards Dilton Marsh Halt proved too much for 'Western' No. 1048 'Western Lady'. Heading a substantial train load of ballast from the Mendip quarries towards Salisbury on 12 June 1975, 'Lady' was struggling from the outset and finally succumbed part way up the bank. The driver and guard are deep in conversation while awaiting rescue. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
We spotted this red tailed hawk on a tree and it then launched into a full speed attack into a bush in front of us. Here is the hawk taking a brief pause after the failed attack before it took off
So, the analogy of 'blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there' seems appropriate. A major alert for aurora, a starlit sky outside my door all conspired to make it seem a worthwhile trip out to Bellanoch - only to arrive in pitch blackness, with full cloud cover and then heavy rain. The joys of photography.
66156 failed in section between Par & St Austell with 6P07 08.20 Fowey to Parkandillack clay empties 25th Jan 2016. The loco was declared a failure around 09.10 and 57303 scrambled from Long Rock depot to assist forward to Burngullow. Single Line Working was instituted over the UM line (with moi as Pilotman). The class 57 then hauled the clay train to Burngullow after 11.00 with GWR Driver Phil Jones in charge - seen passing St Austell station.
Phil worked the last occasion a class 57 hauled the clay train which happened almost exactly 12 months ago!
Thanks to Chris Goff for lending me his Canon for these shots too!!
37401 sat down at Grange working the 2c48 Lancaster-Carlisle. I was waiting at Roose however when my trusty mum called me she confirmed a failure at Grange, as she was on the train. With the shadows encroaching at my desired location and no signs of movement, I finally got a call 41 minutes after its booked time saying they departed Grange. By the time it would be through Roose, the sun would've dropped too far so I headed to Dalton for a relatively crappy shot of it static, well after 7 pm, 41 minutes late.
