I was on a mega early (04.45-14.50) on Thursday and my plan, knowing that full sun was nailed on, was to do a one-shot move after work for the 17.31 BIF - CAR in the Bootle area.
Whilst en route I discovered that 6K73 was in the system. On checking a TOPS list I found that 37611 / 688 were rostered. I knew that 688 had trailed up from Crewe on C53 and should be leading so worked out that I could just about intercept the train at Bootle station without compromising my main target.
I arrived as the signal-man was about to close the crossing gates to traffic, ditched the car, grabbed camera & ladder and legged it sharpish across the road.
Although I couldn't yet see it I could hear the train approaching so zipped up the steps, knowing it was load 2, composed a nice shot with semaphore in the background and waited.
Bugger!
The nigger in the wood-pile was Class 20 No.20305 which at the time of the TOPS list was showing as allocated to the 7C20 / 1 Drigg trips and which had subsequently been tagged on to this train, inadvertently bollocksing up my shot.
Oh well, it was a nice idea!

failaroids is an idea I have been working on/collecting for during the past 10 years, now taking shape as a selection of 55 failed photographs on integral film.
The exhibition, collecting a selection of 55 failed photographs on all types of integral films, is part of the panel of EXPOLAROID international events. More details on the exhibition are coming in the next days, so stay tuned for more! Also coming soon more informations on how you can purchase these rather unique pieces.

This is from the other 'failed' film. In July 2009 I attempted a mini project where the subject would hold the flashgun and flash themselves. Holding it as if it were a camera and they were shooting a 'myspace' pic of their outfit. It didn't work out because being newer to photography, I didn't really think properly and didn't use a long exposure on the camera to capture the flash and I missed it almost every time. Scanning these now, I am extrememly happy with the results this way as well.
66106 draging failed 60015 at Lon Las Tunnel with 13.35 Theale to Robeston empty tanks running 114 minutes late (Photo By Steve Powell)
Hooray for failure. This time the lesson was "8 wide trucks look extremely silly on 8 wide bodies". So these are now officially ditched and won't return in this design. (I blame BBB M-wheels for being exactly 1 stud in width so that brick build shrouding can't be recessed!)
Do feel free to copy, cause turns out my idea wasn't original either ;)
FMQ (Free Motion Quilting) fail..so when you are tired and you hear a noise that doesn't sound right, probably shouldn't ignore it. Yes, that is my top thread on the bottom. It wasn't too hard to rip out :) For 117 pictures in 2017 No. 29 Less than Perfect
Sicily, the largest Mediterranean island, has a long history, that starts around 8000 BC, but later there were Phoenician, Carthaginian, Greek and Roman periods. After the Roman Empire had fallen apart the Vandals tried to take over the island but failed. Finally, the Ostrogoths took possession.
Mid of the 6th century Sicily was conquered by troops of the Byzantine Empire. After the advent of Islam, Sicily got attacked by the Arab forces. Raids seeking loot continued until the mid-8th century.
A Muslim army was sent to the island in 827 but met with much resistance. So it took a century to conquer it and even later revolts constantly occurred
In 1038 the Byzantines invaded the island supported by Norman mercenaries, led by Roger. In 1072, after the siege of Palermo, most of Sicily was under Norman control. Roger´s son Roger II raised the status +of the island to a kingdom in 1130. During this period, the Kingdom of Sicily was prosperous and powerful,
The court of Roger II became melting out of culture from Europe and the Middle East. This attracted scholars, scientists, artists, and artisans. Muslims, Jews, Greeks, Lombards, and Normans cooperated and created some extraordinary buildings.
In 1186 the last descendant of Roger, Constance of Sicily married Emperor Henry VI, the second son of Barbarossa. So the crown of Sicily was passed on to the Hohenstaufen Dynasty. Frederick II, the only son of Constance, was crowned King of Sicily at the age of four in 1198. He became "Stupor Mundi", one of the greatest and most cultured men of the Middle Ages.

Syracuse, founded by Greek settlers in 734 BC, developed into the most powerful city on the island in the early times. Syracuse withstood the attacks of foreign conquerors over a long period, but in 212 BC it became a Roman city. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Syracuse came under the rule of the Vandals and then the Ostrogoths. Then for three centuries, Syracuse was part of the Byzantine Empire, before the Arabs conquered the city in 878. In 1038 Byzantine troops took over and the "Castello Maniace" was erected. Already in 1086 Roger I sieged Syracuse and conquered the city. In 1221 Emperor Frederick II took over and had the Castello Maniace rebuilt.

Syracuse´s historical centre ("Città Vecchia") is located on the small island of Ortyga, where the Greek settlers built the "Temple of Apollo" at the beginning of the 6th century BC. This is the oldest known Greek temple in Sicily.

With Desiro 350232 failing at Hillmorton Junction, 86628 was sent from nearby Dirft to take the stricken unit to Kings Heath depot in Northampton. The 86 then returned to Crick to collect its train to form 4L57 Crick-Tilbury, which left about an hour late, and no containers were in view at the time the freight passed me here at Watford village on the 22nd of November 2013. Ok, ok, ONE part of that story is true, I have to vent my frustration with this working somehow!!
Halves huh? If it wasn't buy it by the pound I might have been tempted to argue and get two for one.

Shot with No. 1 Panoram Kodak on Ilford Delta 3200 film, expiry date April, 2009. Developed in Fomadon R09 ("Rodinal" clone), 1+25 solution, for 11 minutes, 20 seconds water rinse and 6 minutes fix. – View at least large (still very small compared to the original). – The negative size is usually approx. 6x18 cms; this is an unintentional partial double exposure and thus a bit larger. Scanned in colour. – Just a test shot, technically very flawed.
Tried to take a quick shot of the fog in Sta.Maria Ilocos Sur Phil. However it was a fail, couldn’t take the shot I wanted just because I was in a moving vehicle.

A failed circus performer, Clown turned to a life of anarchy and motorcycles when he joined up with the Dreadnoks. He is both extremely violent and sadistic. Clown's twisted sense of humor and brutality makes him hard to stomach.
One of the great conceits of any art is the illusion that an expression, be it music, dance, painting or jewelry etc just effortlessly flows from the artist. What most people never see is the piles of effort that didn't pan out as expected. Take the bracelet we posted earlier based on a quilt pattern. A number of these were done before we got the look and feel where we wanted it. The "also rans" got busted up. But on the way to the trash can we're looking at all these cool pieces, and, well....we decided to recycle ourselves (sort of like drinking your own urine, which we have been told is beneficial by friends we no longer invite to dinner). Anyway, we attacked the pieces with saws, grinders and a variety of implements you normally keep away from polymer clay just to see what would happen. Turns out the pieces wanted to be earrings all along.

After failing on an empty El Zorro grain train to Oaklands, 44209 was dumped in the siding at Warragoon in southern New South Wales on 14-10-11.
The train continued with S300,TL152,S312.
44209 remained in the Warraggon siding for some time waiting for repairs to be carried out
Having gone across to the Cumbrian coast line in the afternoon to catch 2C41, 1457 Barrow - Carlisle, it failed outside Barrow and was cancelled. However a DRS Class 66 had went to Barrow under a STP via the WCML to rescue the failed train. There was also a STP back from Barrow via the WCML.
Here running slightly late we see 66423 hauling 37425 and its coaches at 2036. This was running as 5Z18, Barrow - Carlisle Kingmoor and is seen in bright conditions at Salterwath.
With nothing due apart from passenger trains time to return to the cottage.........or maybe not !

I know that the EXIF data shows a focal length of 135mm but I forgot to change the focal length setting inside the camera down to 55mm.
