You've probably seen those programs about the making of such and such a film (probably switched it straight off too, if you've a wee drop brains)
Well, does Bob have a treat in store for YOU? That was a rhetorical question.
This is the story of how a photae was taken, with step by step instructions, which if followed closely would result in the reader taking a similar photae (now whether that is a sensible thing to do is not the point of this excercise)
1. Take the train. This is an important step, as we shall see later. Do not hide in the toilet of the train - oh no, buy a return ticket.
2. Take a lightweight tripod by a reputable manufacturer. (made in China is bad - made in Italy is good) We will be going on a decent hike, hence the lightweight.
3. Be sure to take a camera and all necessary bits and bobs. This is vital......or is it crucial? Whatever is most important between vital and crucial, then it's that one.
4. Choose your destination. I chose a loch around three miles from the nearest railroad station (you're thanking me for step 2 already)
5. On arrival at your predetermined spot, unload all the stuff in your bag, find a wee seat for five minutes and have a cigarette. This will help stem the craving for nicotine during the next fifteen minutes.
6. Attach all gadgets, gizmos, filters and remotes. If, like myself, you intend attaching a 10 stop filter, then do so with all haste.
As you will barely be able to see anything except the sun through the viewfinder, the feeling of joy will be increased if your final product emerges anywhere north of rubbish.
There are several workarounds which will allow you to compose the shot properly, however, these are boring, spoil the fun and should only be used by serious photographers
6 (a) This is where paying your train fare is about to pay handsome dividends. Take the ticket for the outward journey. OUTWARD JOURNEY. There, don't blame me if you have to walk it home. Now, carefully tear the ticket, leaving a small amount of white either side of the black strip on the back. Ideally this strip should be three eighths of the way down the length of the ticket.
Your ticket will now fit snugly into the hotshoe (see above). All that remains is for you to fold the ticket in order that the expired railroad pass covers the viewfinder - this will eliminate light leakage in long exposures.
7. Take your photograph in the normal way.
8. Your first thoughts on viewing the resultant photae on the camera screen will, most likely, be "Aye, no bad at aw"
9. If number 8 is true, you have given yourself false hope. On returning home you will excitedly fire up the computer, hurriedly transfer your masterpieces and view them at a larger size than the camera screen can show them.
10. If your first word is anything other than "Ach" (or a swearword) then you've got a result.
If your first word is indeed "Ach" (or a swearword) you may now proceed to process the photae - chop, crop, resize, sharpen or any other combination of edits - you are wasting your time - there is nothing you can do to salvage the situation.
You have wasted a day. You have travelled by train when you could have driven. You have used a wee rubbishy tripod when yon big sturdy one would have got the job done. You have trudged through swamp, mud, bog and marsh when you could have used the path. You are chucking it - never taking another photae as long as ye live - until ye wake up the next day and go through it again.
Serves ye right.
Welcome to the world of Bob

Alfonso Hernandez (top) and Michael Edmonds (bottom) are suspects in the shooting death of Dasy, a yellow lab who happened to be the pet and companion of American HERO Marcus Luttrell. They, along with two companions, had been driving around shooting dogs to death in Texas. Details and video here. You can read Marcus' story, or part of it, in this WaPo article.
Mr. Luttrell (holding the puppy) is the Lone Survivor, the only man who lived through the largest battle in Navy SEAL history. His story is amazing and should be known by every schoolchild, but of course, looking up to real men isn't allowed anymore.
These troglodytes were running around, shooting dogs for fun (and laughing and joking about it to boot), and then had the GALL to threaten the life of Mr. Luttrell. To Mr. Luttrell, Dasy (the letters in her name stand for the four men killed by the Taliban) was like a daughter, and was given to him to help him get through the rehabilitation he is still undergoing, four years after surviving the battle and dragging himself through the desert while horribly wounded. This dog was his friend and companion. It's awful for *anyone* to lose a pet, as too many of us here have learned in the past year or so, but for this man, especially, who has been through so very much.
Not only did these neanderthals kill Mr. Luttrell's Dasy, they're suspected of murdering several other dogs in the area in a similar fashion. Not only are they suspected of abusing and killing animals, they have hurt and stolen from the owners of these furry companions.
What kind of beast kills someone else's pet, knowing the suffering and heartache it will cause? Disgusting.
Again: if you see either one of these swine, call the police or Texas Rangers (oh, yes, they're involved) immediately.
Please help me guys :) I put question marks on some of the clothes.. do you have any information about what Barbie they belong to?

Registered operating room nurse for Syracuse Ortho Specialists SOS
Judged the youth 4-H fitting and showmanship class @ NYS Fair
Won her first goat at 8 by writing a 300 word essay on how she would care for it.
“I remember being in the car and getting butterflies when I saw the fairgrounds exit.” First started to really talk to Tom in their early 20s, they had started to date long distance while she was in nursing school in AZ. When Tom had his accident they began to speak more and more. She came up to help take care of him after one of his surgeries to rebuild his ears. She stayed at his families house for a week after the surgery to take care of him. That was a defining moment in their relationship. After she graduated she moved to Syracuse. Her and Tom bought his parents farm, the same house she had stayed to take care of him. They still live there to this day.
“All the goats have their own personalities, some I hate and some I love. I can just look at them and tell if something is wrong.”
“Favorite thing at the fair is walking around, people watching, there is always something new to see.”
“The worst part of the fair is leaving, and saying good-buy to the whole goat barn family until next year.

At first glance, you may think this coal train is coming toward the photographer. You might also notice that the headlights on MRL 290 are on dim. These three MRL units are actually manned helpers pushing hard on this coal train, which is climbing Bozeman Pass. The coal train is running in a 3x(0)x4 configuration. Once at the top of the pass, the three MRL units will cut off the train and return to Livingston Yard.

This one is in honor of my friend Robert. When i worked at my past job, he was my boss, he helpped by putting in good words for me to get that job, and before that at my job before that one, he was the designer, and helped put in a good work for me to do graphics there. He found out early this year that he had esophageal cancer.
He had chemo and radiation, and surgery. I've been quite out of the loop but I was called tonight by a coworker almost in tears. She said he stopped breathing last night, but is on a ventilator and still alive. I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I'm torn in so many directions. I also wonder what it's like to not breath like that. Please send him good thoughts, prayers or energy.

About Cinderella
The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new Stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. When Ella meets a dashing stranger in the woods, unaware that he is really the Prince (Richard Madden) and not merely Kit, an apprentice at the palace, she believes she has finally found a kindred soul. Meanwhile, the calculating Grand Duke (Stellan Skarsgård) devises a plan to thwart the Prince’s hopes of reuniting with Ella and enlists the support of the devious Stepmother. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand. Soon, a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin, a few mice and a magic wand, changes Cinderella’s life forever.
Directed by Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh (“Thor,” “Hamlet”) and starring two-time Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett (“Blue Jasmine,” “Elizabeth”), Lily James (“Downton Abbey”), Richard Madden (“Game of Thrones”) and Academy Award nominee Helena Bonham Carter (“The King’s Speech,” “Alice in Wonderland”), “Cinderella” is produced by Simon Kinberg (“X-Men: Days of Future Past,” “Elysium”), Allison Shearmur (“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1”) and David Barron (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1”) with Tim Lewis (“Edge of Tomorrow”) serving as executive producer. The screenplay is by Chris Weitz (“About a Boy,” “The Golden Compass”).

_____________________
The Harmandir Sahib (Punjabi: ਹਰਿਮੰਦਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ), also Darbar Sahib (Punjabi: ਦਰਬਾਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ, Punjabi pronunciation: [dəɾbɑɾ sɑhɪb]) and informally referred to as the "Golden Temple", is a prominent Sikh gurdwara located in the city of Amritsar, Punjab, India. It was built by the fourth Sikh guru, Guru Ramdaas Sahib Ji, in the 16th century. In 1604, Guru Arjun completed the Adi Granth, the holy scripture of Sikhism, and installed it in the Gurudwara.
There are four doors to get into the Harmandir Sahib, which symbolize the openness of the Sikhs towards all people and religions. The present-day gurdwara was rebuilt in 1764 by Jassa Singh Ahluwalia with the help of other Sikh Misls. In the early nineteenth century, Maharaja Ranjit Singh secured the Punjab region from outside attack and covered the upper floors of the gurdwara with gold, which gives it its distinctive appearance and its English name.
The Harimandir Sahib is considered holy by Sikhs. The holiest text of Sikhism, the Guru Granth Sahib, is always present inside the gurdwara. Its construction was mainly intended to build a place of worship for men and women from all walks of life and all religions to come and worship God equally. Over 100,000 people visit the holy shrine daily for worship.
HISTORY
The Harmandir Sahib literally means The Temple of God. The fourth guru of Sikhs, Guru Ram Das, excavated a tank in 1577 CE which subsequently became known as Amritsar (meaning "Pool of the Nectar of Immortality"), giving its name to the city that grew around it. In due course, a Sikh edifice, Sri Harmandir Sahib (meaning "the abode of God") rose in the middle of this tank and became the supreme centre of Sikhism. Its sanctum came to house the Adi Granth comprising compositions of Sikh Gurus and other saints considered to have Sikh values and philosophies, e.g., Baba Farid, and Kabir. The compilation of The Adi Granth was started by the fifth guru of Sikhism, Guru Arjan Dev Ji.
CONSTRUCTION
Sri Guru Arjan Sahib, the Fifth Sikh Guru, conceived the idea of creating a central place of worship for the Sikhs and he himself designed the architecture of Sri Harmandir Sahib. Earlier the planning to excavate the holy tank (Amritsar or Amrit Sarovar ) was chalked out by Guru Amar Das Ji, the Third Sikh Guru, but it was executed by Guru Ramdas Sahib under the supervision of Baba Budha ji. The land for the site was acquired by the earlier Guru Sahibs on payment or free of cost from the Zamindars (landlords) of native villages. The plan to establish a town settlement was also made. Therefore, the construction work on the Sarovar (the tank) and the town started simultaneously in 1570. The work on both projects completed in 1577 A.D. During the leadership of the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan (1581–1606), the full-fledged gurdwara was built. In December 1588, Guru Arjan initiated the construction of the gurdwara. The foundation stone was laid by none other than Guru Arjan Sahib himself in December 1588. It is a common misconception that the foundation stone was laid by the Sufi saint Mian Mir of Lahore.
Some of the architectural features of the Harmandir Sahib were intended to be symbolic of the Sikh worldview. Instead of the normal custom of building a gurdwara on high land, it was built at a lower level than the surrounding land so that devotees would have to go down steps to enter it. In addition, instead of one entrance, Sri Harmandir Sahib has four entrances.
The gurdwara was completed in 1604. Guru Arjan, installed the Guru Granth Sahib in it and appointed Baba Buddha as the first Granthi (reader) of it on August 1604. In the mid-18th century it was attacked by the Afghans, by one of Ahmed Shah Abdali's generals, Jahan Khan, and had to be substantially rebuilt in the 1760s. However, in response a Sikh Army was sent to hunt down the Afghan force. Both forces met each other five miles outside Amritsar; Jahan Khan's army was destroyed.
The gurdwara is surrounded by a large lake or holy tank, known as the Sarovar, which consists of Amrit ("holy water" or "immortal nectar") and is fed by the Ravi River. There are four entrances to the gurdwara, signifying the importance of acceptance and openness. Inside the gurdwara complex there are many shrines to past Sikh Gurus, saints and martyrs (see map). There are three holy trees (bers), each signifying a historical event or Sikh saint. Inside the gurdwara there are many memorial plaques that commemorate past Sikh historical events, saints, martyrs and includes commemorative inscriptions of all the Sikh soldiers who died fighting in World Wars I and II.
In keeping with the rule observed at all Sikh gurdwaras worldwide, the Harmandir Sahib is open to all persons regardless of their religion, colour, creed, or sex. The only restrictions on the Harmandir Sahib's visitors concern their behavior when entering and while visiting:
Maintaining the purity of the sacred space and of one's body while in it:
- Upon entering the premises, removing one's shoes and washing one's feet in the small pool of water provided;
- Not drinking alcohol, eating meat, or smoking cigarettes or other drugs while in the shrine
- Dressing appropriately:
- Wearing a head covering (a sign of respect) (the gurdwara provides head scarves for visitors who have not brought a suitable covering);
- Not wearing shoes.
How to act:
If you choose to listen to Gurbani, one must also sit on the ground while in the Darbar Sahib as a sign of deference to both the Guru Granth Sahib and God.
First-time visitors are advised to begin their visit at the information office and then proceed to the Central Sikh Museum near the main entrance and clock tower.
The Harimandir Sahib runs one of the largest free kitchens in the world, serving 100,000 people on average daily. The meal consists of flat bread and lentil soup.
ARTWORK & MONUMENT SCULPTURES
Much of the present decorative gilding and marblework dates from the early 19th century. All the gold and exquisite marble work were conducted under the patronage of Hukam Singh Chimni and Emperor Ranjit Singh, Maharaja of the Sikh Empire of the Punjab. The Darshani Deorhi Arch stands at the beginning of the causeway to the Harmandir Sahib; it is 62 metres high and 6 metres in width. The gold plating on the Harmandir Sahib was begun by Ranjit Singh and was finished in 1830. Maharaja Ranjit Singh was a major donor of wealth and materials for the shrine and is remembered with much affection by the Punjabi people in general and the Sikh community in particular.
CELEBRATIONS
One of the most important festivals is Vaisakhi, which is celebrated in the second week of April (usually the 13th). Sikhs celebrate the founding of the Khalsa on this day and it is celebrated with fervour in the Harmandir Sahib. Other important Sikh religious days such as the birth of Guru Raamdas ji, martyrdom day of Guru Teg Bahadur, the birthday of Guru Nanak, etc., are also celebrated with religious piety. Similarly Bandi Chhor Divas is one of the festivals which sees the Harmandir Sahib beautifully illuminated with Divas (lamps); lights and fireworks are discharged. Most Sikhs visit Amritsar and the Harmandir Sahib at least once during their lifetime, particularly and mostly during special occasions in their life such as birthdays, marriages, childbirth, etc.
BLUE STAR
Blue Star was a military operation undertaken on 3 June 1984 and ended on 6 June 1984. The Indian Army, led by General Kuldip Singh Brar, brought infantry, artillery, and tanks into the Harmandir Sahib to put a stop to self-styled Dharam Yudh Morcha led by Bhindrawala. During these "Morchay" thousands of Sikhs courted arrest. Indira Gandhi ordered the army to launch Operation Blue Star. Within six months, Indira Gandhi’s Sikh bodyguards killed her (31 October 1984) for the perceived sacrilege.
Fierce fighting ensued between Sikhs and the soldiers, in which many of the Sikhs were killed along with many soldiers. The Harmandir Sahib complex also suffered much damage due to the attack, especially the holy Akal Takhat Sahib.
This attack is regarded by Sikhs as a desecration of Sikhism's holiest shrine and discrimination against a minority in India. In 1986, the repairs performed on the Akal Takhat Sahib after the attack, which the Rajiv Gandhi Government had undertaken without consultation, were removed. A new Akal Takhat Sahib was completed in 1999 by Kar Sevaks (volunteer labor and funding).
