Just because hallways are small doesn't mean they should be overlooked. Add a pretty chair and table- and try using it once in a while!
A fit of the giggles and the disapproving look aimed in his direction.
With a photographic print, you can trim off any embarrassing parts, with a 35mm slide it is there forever.
Guess who is going to be in waterproofs tomorrow.
It's actually impossible to take a photo of the two of them looking normal at the same time. This is the best we could muster.
The lighting, the inky blue sky, the river... the perfect setting for a romantic night out on the town! Sadly it was one of my last dinners in London town... oh the possibilities...!
We made our annual trip to London in November. We travel down by coach from Slaithwaite and stay at The Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. It’s actually a weekend ladies shopping trip that is run as a fundraiser for Slaithwaite Brass Band – I’m the only bloke that goes every year! We decided ( the two of us) to stay down in London until Thursday this time as we wanted to see weekday London and be able to explore a bit further afield on foot. We covered up to 16 miles a day, which is tough going on crowded pavements with hundreds of busy roads to cross. I photographed anything that looked interesting but I bent a contact in the CF card slot, fortunately I had quite a few SD cards with me and the 5D has dual slots so I was able to carry on using it. It’s currently at Lehmann’s getting fixed.
With it being close to Christmas the decorations are up everywhere so there was plenty of colour at night. In Hyde Park the Winter Wonderland was in full swing, we’ve never bothered going to it before but I went twice at night this time. It is massive this year, I couldn’t get over how big it is and the quality of some of the attractions. The cost and effort involved must be phenomenal – it was quite expensive though. It was very difficult to photograph, with extremes of light (LED’s) and darkness and fast moving rides into the bargain. I think I have some decent usable stuff but at the time of writing I am only part way through the editing process so I don’t know for sure.
We set off at around 8.15 am every day and stayed out for at least 12 hours. The weather was poor for a day and a half with drizzle and very dull grey conditions, fortunately we had some pleasant weather (and light) along the way as well. Being based at the end of Oxford Street – Europe’s busiest shopping street – meant that I did quite a bit of night shooting on there. Although I carried a tripod everywhere I only used it once and that was during the day! Because there is always a moving element in almost every shot it seemed pointless using a tripod. I would have got some shots free of movement – or I could have gone for ultra-long exposures to eliminate people and traffic but it would have been problematic I felt. In the end I wound the ISO up and hand held – fingers crossed.
We walked out to Camden Market and Locks but it had been raining and we were a bit early as many were only just setting up for the day. We tried to follow routes that we hadn’t used before and visit new places. We paid a fortune to get in St Pauls but you can’t use cameras. This something that I fail to see the point of, ban flash if you want but if you are going to encourage tourism why ban cameras when there is nothing in particular happening in there. It’s a rule that seems to be applied arbitrarily in cities around the world. Fortunately we could take photos from the outside of the dome, which was real reason for visiting, and we had some great light. Expensive compared with a couple of euros in some famous cathedrals. I’ve wanted to walk to Canary Wharf for a number of years and this year we did. We crisscrossed the Thames a few times and tried to follow the Thames path at other times. We covered around ten miles but it was an interesting day. It was also very quiet for the last four or five miles. We got there about 12.00 and managed to get a sandwich in a café in the shopping centre at the foot of the high rise office blocks before tens of thousands of office workers descended from above. It was mayhem, packed, with snaking queues for anywhere that sold food. We crossed to the other side of The Isle of Dogs and looked across to the O2 Arena and the cable car, unfortunately there isn’t a way across for pedestrians and it was around 3.00 pm. With darkness falling at around 4.30 we decide it was too late to bother. We made our way back to the Thames Clipper pier to check the sailing times. They sail every twenty minutes so we had a couple of glasses of wine and a rest before catching the Clipper. Sailing on the Thames was a first in 15 trips to London. The Clipper is fast and smooth, the lights had come on in the city and there was a fantastic moon rise. It was nigh on impossible to get good shots at the speed we were traveling though and there were times that I wished I could be suspended motionless above the boat. Again, hopefully I will have some usable shots.
We felt that the shopping streets were a little quieter, following the Paris massacre it was to be expected, I might be wrong as we were out and about at later times than previous trips. I think I have heard that footfall is down though. It was good to get into some of the quieter backstreets and conversely to be stuck in the city business district – The Square Mile- at home time. A mass exodus of people running and speed walking to bus stops and the rail and tube stations. It was difficult to move against or across the flow of bodies rushing home.
Whilst the Northern(manufacturing) economy is collapsing, London is a giant development site, it must be the tower crane capital of Europe at the moment. It was difficult to take a shot of any landmark free of cranes, it was easier to make the cranes a feature of the photo. It’s easy to see where the wealth is concentrated – not that there was ever any doubt about it. The morons with too much money are still driving their Lambo’s and Ferraris etc. like clowns in streets that are packed with cars , cyclists and pedestrians, accelerating viciously and noisily for 50 yards. They are just sad attention seekers. From Battersea to Canary Wharf we walked the Thames Embankment, the difference between high and low tide on the river is massive, but the water was the colour of mud – brown! Not very attractive in colour. We caught a Virgin Train from Kings Cross for £14.00 each – a bargain!. We had quite a bit of time to kill around midday at Kings Cross so I checked with security that I was OK to wander around taking photos, without fear of getting jumped by armed security, and set off to photograph the station and St Pancras International Station across the road. I haven’t even looked at the results as I type this but I’ll find out if they are any good shortly. Talking of security, following Paris, there was certainly plenty of private security at most attractions, I don’t know if it was terrorism related though, I can’t say I noticed an increased police presence on the streets. It took us three hours and five minutes from Kings Cross to being back home, not bad for a journey of 200 miles. I can’t imagine that spending countless billions on HS2 or HS3 is going to make a meaningful (cost effective) difference to our journey. Improving what we have, a little faster, would be good. There are some bumpy bits along the route for a mainline and Wakefield to Huddersfield is the equivalent of a cart track – and takes over 30 minutes – it’s only a stone’s throw. Time to get back to editing.
The Prius is a hybrid powered car manufactured by Toyota. Its form of motion is via a 1.8 litre petrol engine, an automatic gearbox, coupled with an electric motor and associated battery pack.
This is a rental car and I used it business purposes on Motorways and fast roads. In total over 3.3 million Prius’s have been manufactured – this car is an example of the 3rd generation of Prius.
Initially the Prius is a strange car to enter and operate. Entry to the car can be made in two ways – pressing the unlock button on the remote fob, or touching the drivers door handle (as long as the fob is within reading distance). The fob is not required again, as the car detects the presence of the fob. There is no key.
Once seated, and the START button is pressed, the instrument panel comes to life, and a small ‘Ready’ indicator shows it’s OK to drive off after you push the stubby shift lever on the dashboard into Drive. If you like, one of the three modes can be selected EV, ECO, or PWR via the three dashboard engine management buttons.
The Prius defaults to ECO (economy) with smooth acceleration (using the electric motor to move the car away from standstill until around 20mph, then the petrol engine assists), or you can press the PWR (power) for more aggressive performance. If you need full power, you get it in any mode by flooring the throttle pedal. The Prius will accelerate from 0-62mph in 10.4 seconds if required – so it’s no slouch if speed is required.
Selecting the EV button (electric vehicle mode) will enable you travel up to one mile at 25 mph before the petrol engine kicks in, which is a nice trick for creeping away early in the morning or making sleepy people in an early morning Tesco car park do a double-take. Car moving, no noise, Huh?
What the cars mode of propulsion is displayed on the dashboard. There are no conventional internal combustion engine gauges such as water temperature or rev counter – but of course this isn’t a conventional car.
It’s almost impossible to detect when the petrol engine is running. The only indication of what source the car is running on is on the dashboard display and when you slow down to a stop – the car is silent and vibration free.
During the return journey the car spent 2 miles in a slow moving traffic jam. During this time the car used no petrol – the car was entirely propelled by the electric motor. At this point of use the car created zero emissions – replicate this in a town centre with the majority of the vehicles being powered in this way is some way to improving pollution in built up areas.
The petrol engine will also shutdown during long decents, for example there is long decent on the M6. During this period, the electric motor is now a generator, this energy is used to recharge the battery.
The Prius encourages law abiding smooth driving. I’ve never driven a car that I wanted to be so careful in, economy wise.
Miles driven: 281 miles
Average MPG: 58.6 MPG
Type of driving: Motorways and A roads
Likes: Economy, technology, Heads up display (displays MPH on windscreen), silent operation at low speeds, keyless entry and starting, zero annual car tax, encourages law abiding smoother driving.
Dislikes: Rear ward vision poor due to large spoiler on tailgate, lack of cruise control seems odd.
The MPG figures from previous users were stored on the computer. MPG was never less than 55MPG for the whole life of the car (just over 20,000 miles). Impressive considering this is a rental car and rental cars are usually driven hard.

The large number of Prius-owning celebrities in 2002 prompted the Washington Post to dub hybrids "Hollywood's latest politically correct status symbol".
Former CIA chief R. James Woolsey, Jr. drives a Prius because of its low fuel consumption. Woolsey stated that Middle East oil profits find their way to terrorist groups like al-Qaeda, meaning that Americans who buy inefficient vehicles would, in effect, be indirectly funding terrorism. "I have a bumper sticker on the back of my Prius that reads, 'Bin Laden hates this car.'"
Brian Griffin, the talking dog from Family Guy drives a Prius.

She hasn't been photoshopped, either. Some of the girls have huge honkin zits that we kill in post processing. Not this one tho, she gots skin like a baby's ass (this is actually a compliment).

I solved it, without glue. The way I did it was making a fold reversed so that it would create a flap that I could clip on in the triangular hole. Then after assembly I slightly disassembled the model to straighten out the folds again.
This is my second time folding - the first time I resorted to glue because I did not discover the method I have now to complete it.
The paper is very badly cut so there are many holes, but next time I will make it the best of my 3 attempts!
