When you want to go to the bird feeder but the big boys are there and it feels a bit threatening, best to stick together and watch. It is a good idea for one of the group to keep an eye on the human as well.
The #FlickrFriday #chain challenge
The bugle is the simplest member of the brass instrument family, only being able to play notes from the first harmonic, equivalent to a trumpet being played without its valves being used. They were widely used in military camps and aboard ships before the advent of modern communications to signal instructions, sometimes amidst the noise and confusion of battle.
The mouthpieces of all except bespoke brass instruments are detachable, allowing musicians to select a mouthpiece to their precise requirements. This could create a problem for a military bugler. If the colonel were to instruct the advance to be sounded, that august officer would be unlikely to appreciate being informed that the bugler had lost his mouthpiece, without which the instrument is useless, hence the essential mouthpiece is chained to the instrument. The dents on this First World War bugle (wonder what stories it could tell?) suggest an active service spent being hung from webbing, dangled from nails hammered in walls, being dropped, clattered against fixtures within trenches, and being thrown hurriedly into bags. Losing the mouthpiece would have been a real danger but for the chain.
The photo of this instrument was window lit on a dull day with a plain black background shielded from the lighting to make the instrument stand out even more. General tweaks to the RAW file were made c/o Photoshop for enhancement.
my work for #FlickrFriday with the actually theme #Dogme95
"This week's theme is Dogme95, a photographic and cinematic approach that avoids using 'expensive and spectacular special effects, post-production modifications and other technical gimmicks.' "
So I didn't edit the photo in any way (also not cropped), it's natural light, camera handhold, in colour, I got the scene "as is"
The overhead lighting SHINING down on the fruits & vegetables stand makes it easy to see the vendor's goods and also makes for a nice "existing light" night-time photo

The #FlickrFriday #NoLongerMade challenge
A Singer Model 99K Sewing machine, dated from its serial number to February 1927. The type was produced from 1911 until the mid 1950s.
The 99K was three quarters the size of the standard and was marketed as a portable unit for home use. Singer machines of all types were phenomenally popular, with 36 million being produced from Singer's Scottish factory alone - remarkable for a product which could last a lifetime in a country (meaning the whole UK) which had a population of only 30-40 million throughout the production period. As such, this is probably not a particularly rare item, although the brief research I've done shows that the original polished plywood case within which it still resides is. Originally hand cranked, Singer brought out electric models like this one from 1921.
This one was obtained second hand by Alice, a lady of limited means who was destined to become my dear wife's grandmother. Although I haven't dared try it, it seems to be in working order. There is a pack of ancient needles, still bearing their price ticket (2/3), in the storage compartment visible on the right. For those baffled by British pre decimal currency (sanity reached the Bank of England in 1971) that means two shillings and three pence.
This triptych shows the machine in front of a window, perhaps reflecting how Alice used it. Photoshop was used to blur the background more than the f11 aperture had allowed. The smaller photos are macros of parts of its workings.
This image was captured for the Flickr Friday theme of "Stardust" (Flickr Friday 13 Feb 2015).
The foreground image (Moon) is taken with a Celestron Nexstar4se telescope with my Canon EOS 600D camera screwed onto the back. The background stars image is my Canon camera on a tripod with a 50mm f1.8 lens.
At top right is a falling star. At centre right is The Hyades formation in the constellation of Taurus. And at bottom centre is The Pleiades (aka The Seven Sisters).
