Whilst waiting on a late running diverted Freight, not only did I get a Grand Central Power Car running north, but I also got a 67 hauling a failed 225 set.
67024 is seen hauling the failed set through Prestonpans. The set consisted of an unidentified DVT and 91102. This was running as 5G22, Edinburgh Waverley to Bounds Green

8F, 48431 had been dumped in the yard at Oakworth on the 9th December 1995, having failed on a Santa Special. It made quite a nice glint shot. I wonder whether we'll ever see it in traffic again.
After attempting to phot the Slag train in the station whilst static and failing dramatically as it was late and didn't stop, I opted for this shot looking over at Barrow Carriage Sidings. Ignore the flare as I've lost my lens hood.
After hearing the IAIS 513 might be leading CBBI I decided I would go to Utica, IL to catch it. Well I heard some radio traffic the dispatcher was talking to BNSF 7492 all I could say was crap I really said S@#T. But oh well this train BNSF CP and four NS unit's it's just something you don't expect on the IAIS. At least the picture came out alright. 7-4-14
Well I already stopped doing the 365...I figure I will just restart it February. No awesome sunrise this morning, but I am going to try again tomorrow. :)
Flying along, the Mily Way was clearly visible out of the window. So, I tried a hand held shot at f3,5 (wide open). The thumbnail looks ok-ish but full screen, this is an Epic Fail on a galactic scale :-)
Epic fail Guess this shot is what you can describe with "epic fail". Was out with my cam the night before to do some street shots and had it configured for ISO6400. The day after I went with my tripod to the woods next to my office to get some nice shots and recognised at home all my shots had been taken with ISO6400 :( Noise is there, but nevertheless I like this shot. Shot taken with #xpro2 and #xf23 1.4 Wish you all the best! Processed in #Lightroom using #vsco #ektachrome64T++ color curve and #classicchrome camera profile.

Even if we may fail, we will try. Regardless of what anyone says, it is better to live life the way we want.
It's not often mentioned, but most photographer's shots - mine at least - fail. And when I say most, I'm mean easily over 90% - in my case one in 10 would be pretty good overall :). Sometimes I get on a roll and hit a few in a row; but usually, something goes wrong. Sometimes, it's the obvious: the thumb in the picture, here holding a yellow filter and hoping to shade the lens from the sun's rays. Other times, it's the darkslide, or the forgotten level, the wrong iso setting, the bumped tripod, or the untightened knob; the list is extremely long of ways in which I have - and continue to - ruin otherwise perfectly good images. But, the worse kind are the kind where I've suffered a lack of intent; when the image was made more or less out of habit, aye there's the rot.

Sorry for the underwear emphasized by the black IR filter. I know, it's an epic fail.
31 180 heads east up the main line at South Stoke with a failed DMU set. Earlier in the day the loco had taken over 2V62, the 1105 Weymouth - Swindon at Westbury, so presumably was taking the DMU for maintenance, possibly at Reading
I may have failed this year but next year I will be back and ready to SHIP!
I have learned a few valuable lessons from this year and from my first (still in progress) SHIP:-
1) Dedicate a few extra days (not just weekends, like this time) to actual building!
2) Have my collection sorted and ready to go, BEFORE September (I lost at least a day and a half sorting bricks so that I could find things).
3) Use LDD to sketch out ideas early in the process (rather than the more hit and miss 'start building and see what happens' method that I used this year) so that I know what I am working with and aiming for, and tied to this......
4)..... work out earlier the bricks I need from Bricklink so that I don't end up having to make important but late orders (which shot me in the foot this year - I am still waiting for my final order to come!!)
5) Maybe ease back on the play function details :-s As much as I love to add them, it does take me time to sort them out and get them working (I spent waaay too much time on my harpoons this year!)
6) Make sure that I get involved next time and have at least as much fun as I had this year! Even though I didn't finish in time, I have really loved the whole vibe of SHIPtember. It has certainly given my building a much needed boost and it has been great seeing everyone get fired up about building SHIPs and turning out some outstanding creations (even the unfinished ones!)
Are there any more months with building challenges? I know that we are now in MA.Ktober, but I am not sure I can do that one :-s Perhaps GARC does need a month? (even though it is still badass!)
