Most of the approximately 35,000 culverts along Oregon’s state highway system are now at the end of their designed service lives. A new database will help make prioritized decisions on repairing or replacing culverts.
Sent to me by a friend; saved here for the entertainment of many. I did not make this lolcat, and unfortunately I don't know who did.
1) It's sideways.
2) It's horribly out of focus.
3) The auto white balance was left on.
4) artifacts artifacts artifacts.
5) I hate the fourth of July.
The sideways problem and the artifacts could be resolved with the use of some imageMagic scripting, but due to the atrocious focus problems... I'm not going to bother.
I got up on the hill late and the fireworks started right before I finished setting up. The rush to be ready as soon as possible, combined with my brontophobia, caused me to forget to set the focus. Doh.
So some lessons learned for anyone who'd like to do a time-lapse of fireworks:
1) Use a quicker exposure than I did (3s), I think 1s would be good.
2) Shoot reasonably open. I shot this at f/4. At 1s I'd have gone f/2.8.
3) Turn off auto white balance so that the color isn't flickering around.
4) Use a slower frame rate. This is 29.92fps. 15 would look less spastic.
5) Shoot in small raws, then use ImageMagic or an equivalent to pull the size down, rotate, and convert to 8b without nasty artifacts.
6) 70mm is a bit too wide for shooting from the Rocket Park hill. 100mm would have been better.
7) Take a test shot to make sure focus is on and framing doesn't blow.
8) My intervalometer rules.
9) The 4th still sucks, particularly when there was thunder all afternoon
10) I like pie.
Considering that Comrie has once again found itself on the news due to flooding, I'm surprised this was the extent of the flood water inside the Strowan Tunnel. Clearly drainage has always been an issue inside this tunnel as it contains two very prominent drainage channels down both sides. The one along the western wall is coping a lot better than the one on the eastern side.
The other interesting feature here is that the tunnel is using half concrete and half brick at this point. Throughout the 100 yard length of this tunnel, travelling from north to south we have an entirely brick lined section, a bare rock section, a second brick lined section, a second and longer bare rock section and finally, we get this interesting mix of materials for the final part. The Strowan Tunnel packs a lot of interest into such a small space. Just behind me is the tunnel's only alcove.
It looks as if the railway was opened in 1893, 3 years after the Glenfarg line opened which contains some of the first tunnels to use a concrete lining. I'm surprised this tunnel wasn't built entirely in concrete like Glenfarg South and it's sister tunnel at St. Fillans was.
This platter has a problem. Luckily we felt it out of balance before it fully spun up and the drive head impacted it.
(Although what could cause such a massive bend in solid aluminum platter?)

Bad angle, composition, and overcooked noodle flexible pole with lots of rebound.

Off to see if I can fail better. The mounts were well triangulated and stable, only the pole let me down. Need a better pole for certain! No use photochomping the rig out as it's not worth the effort.
The amazing scene of 66051 dragging 60163 after the A1 had finally failed at Rugby when working 1z38 Edinburgh- Euston part 3 of the Christmas Coronation tour...60163 had had steaming problems most of the day...Northampton Nov 20 2010
I had to replace the head gaskets on the bobcat... the first one went well. This is what we found on the second.
This was my first trip ever to New York City, NY. My fantastic tour guide was Pastor Gary Evensen of the North Jersey United Pentecostal Church. The variety of pictures shows you what life is like in the day time. As the day progressed, it started raining. However, we walked, road trains, and navigated the subway which was an incredible experience in itself. The only thing I failed to take photos of was our meal at the incredible and famous 2nd Avenue Deli which is totally kosher.

My luscious perfect pan of scratch brownies crammed with walnuts...DROPPED ON THE FLOOR taking them out of the oven.
If I weren't in shock I would have cried.
This is a utility plate in the middle of a Cambridge sidewalk, which somebody has creatively replaced. I assume it must be the work of some MIT students who don't realize how tired the FAIL meme is.
First attempt at double-exposure, tried to get it so that it looked like I was in the window taking a picture, but I had to use flash in the bathroom mirror and it screwed everything up. I look like a ghost though, so it's still pretty cool. It's funny how when you use film even the accidents come out kinda cool.
