another last minute one this week. the composition has blatantly been stolen from previous photos from Joe/Barry (thanks for the inspiration guys - i was somewhat lacking again this week!). but when i thought 'numbers', there was only one possible combination...
February 4th, 1969
Healey Mills
Tinsley-based Brush Type 2 with consecutive numbers D5678 (later Class 31 31250) seen leaving the yard with a freight. The engine, which started life in December 1960 at Finsbury Park, gave service for just over 39 years before withdrawal in February 2000
Ref B1-01
I wore this outfit for two days. Over the course of those two days, I swam 3200 yards, spent $85, ran 20 miles, cooked 11 dishes, drank 4 gin and tonics, and watched 1 entire movie. I also slept more hours than I care to admit.
Dress, Jam’s World (thrifted). Shirt, Old Navy. Belt, thrifted. Leggings, Allen B. Moccasins, Minnetonka (gift). Earrings, Monica D. Bag, Nine West.
I am most pleased about all the cooking. Now I have delicious leftovers to eat all week:
Chi-Chi’s Corn Cake (well, we finished that entire thing over the weekend, so no leftovers)
Mexican Street Corn
Carrot and Red Cabbage Slaw
Refried Bean Enchiladas
Curried Beet and Yam Soup
Tabouli
Hummus
Roasted Asparagus
Sweet and Spicy Broccoli
Garlic and Ginger Tofu
Teriyaki Beet Greens (I also ate all of that)
Most of that $85 was spent on groceries.
The “Singing Ringing Tree” panopticon is located high up on the moors at Crown Point in Rossendale ("Valley In The Moor"), where it overlooks the east Lancashire town of Burnley ("Clearing By The River Brun"). It was erected in 2006 and designed by the architects Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu of Tonkin Liu. The three metre tall construction is made from hollow pipes of galvanized steel and takes the form of a huge wind-swept tree. Some of the pipes are primarily structural and aesthetic but others have been cut so that the wind enters them and produces a highly distinctive sound. The pipes are of different lengths and some of them have a varying number of holes drilled into them. A range of sounds spanning several octaves may thus be produced and on occasions the panopticon really does appear to be singing away to itself. In 2007 the “Singing Ringing Tree” won the national award of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Opinions may perhaps differ as to the aesthetic qualities of the “Singing Ringing Tree” but this is a magnificent viewpoint, with views northwards towards the Bowland Fells, Pendle Hill and the Yorkshire Dales, and eastwards across Cliviger Gorge towards Black Hameldon, on the border with Yorkshire. The name Crown Point is relatively recent and only dates back to the 18th century. Before that time it was called Broadhead Moor. However, large numbers of soldiers were recruited from hereabouts to fight in America during the Seven Years War (French and Indian War) and the moor was given the name of the now ruined fort that stands beside the shore of Lake Champlain, in the American state of New York (www.flickr.com/photos/67668518@N08/8659597958/in/photostream).
Mission 24 for the week was Numbers. This is the view as I walk to my car from where I work. Those bastards just had to put it there. I hate them.
Hanoi, Vietnam
I made a long journey from Hanoi, Vietnam to see the Perfume Pagoda high up in the Huong Tich Mountains. This temple was built inside a natural limestone cave and draws large numbers of pilgrims from all across Vietnam. I had a twenty second period while this lady prayed, providing a compelling composition for me to photograph.
The numbers are significant meaning absolutely nothing - maybe, I wish it was my age! Anyway, Lewis has some of these hanging about our home so a couple came in useful for today's challenge!

Sculpture by the Sea - Bondi Beach to Tamarama.
Sydney, Australia.
The annual 3 week exhibition features around 100 sculptures by artists from all over the world.
The sculptures are located along the scenic walk between Bondi Beach & Tamarama.
It would be hard to find a more spectacular location for this free public art event.
David Handley started this annual art event back in 1996, with the first actual exhibition in 1997.
In the early 90’s he was living in Prague & was inspired by an outdoor sculpture event in northern Bohemia.
Handley had a vision for a major free outdoor public arts event in Sydney.
In the early years the exhibition was run on a shoestring, but its grown gradually with more sponsors getting involved & the prize money on offer for artists also becoming more substantial.
Around 25,000 people visited the exhibition in the early days & the numbers have steadily grown over the years.
Recently, as many as 500,000 people attended this event with it now becoming a major tourist attraction on the Sydney calendar.
Light Painting @ Sculptures.
I drove down from the Blue Mtns to visit Jesse Willesee’s halloween-themed Haunted Hotel @ Kings Cross.
His gigs are usually a lot of fun to photograph & this was no exception.
I just managed to escape the Haunted Hotel with my life & headed for the bar to have a couple of schooners of Little Creatures Pale Ale.
With the important hydration mission complete, I made a minor detour to Harry’s Cafe de Wheels @ Woolloomooloo for some tucker.
After driving a fair distance from The Bluies, I figured I’d make the most of it & do a bit of light painting photography @ Sculptures - Bondi.
I arrived at Bondi at 11pm, found a nearby parking spot, grabbed my gear, & headed off into the night.
Basically, I had the exhibition to myself, which is in stark contrast to during the day when there’s a constant stream of people making it difficult to shoot.
Sunrise is really the only other time during the day when you can relax & get some clean shots of the artworks.
I was alone with the sculptures, oh & a couple of security guys who I got to know that night by attracting their attention with my lights.
Photographing at night is a bit of a challenge as its hard to see, so tricky to frame images & get good focus.
Also, some sculptures don’t really suit night photography for various reasons, especially bright metallic ones that reflect a lot of light.
Some sculptures are just at their best during daylight, so part of the challenge is to choose the right subjects to shoot.
Light Painting is a bit of an art & it usually takes several attempts to get it spot on, assuming you want to capture it all in a single image.
The other approach is to light parts of the scene in each frame & combine the results in Photoshop using layers & masks.
No two attempts at light painting a scene are ever exactly the same & this is one of the interesting aspects of this type of photography.
Its a creative process & very much experimental with a lot of trial & error.
I was armed with my LED Lenser torches, Mag-lite torch, and a speedlight for off-camera flash work to help illuminate larger objects.
I also brought some Lee coloured gels to enhance colours during light painting.
The plan is to increase my arsenal of lighting gear to include El-Wire & also a powerful spotlight for distant & large subjects.
I would’ve liked to have had a clearer sky to capture some stars & also for cloud movement during the long exposures, but it was quite overcast.
The sky was very dark out to sea , with some rain on the way - and it looked as if I might get washed out a few times as some raindrops began to fall.
I was really hoping for some lightning but it was not to be that night.
I covered the exhibition from Bondi to Tamarama in around 4hrs & shot approx. 50 or 60 long exposure images - mostly around 30secs.
By this stage I was totally trashed, so headed back to the car for the journey home.
I ended up stumbling into bed around 5am feeling rather satisfied with the evening’s work!
Looking back with hindsight, I should’ve slept a few hrs in the car & gone back to do a sunrise photoshoot of the sculptures.
Oh well, there’s always next time. I’ll be back for another round methinks.
ODC: VARIETY...of dice and color.
7 DOS/Week 36 ~ Numbers. Technique Tuesday. Some blur and color dodge applied.
For Macro Mondays group, theme "numbers".
I wanted to make a long exposure macro, this was in a dark room, the only light is coming from the numbers of my cell phone... it remembers me I need a new one :)
Posting a little late because I was out for the holiday in Brazil... but I didn't peek the other photos on the group before taking my own :)

Para o grupo Macro Mondays, tema "números".
Eu queria fazer uma macro de longa exposição, foi tirada numa sala escura e a única luz vem dos números do meu celular... isso me lembra que preciso de um aparelho novo :)
Postando um pouco atrasado pois eu estava viajando no feriado... mas eu não espiei as outras fotos do grupo antes de tirar a minha :)
A street of multi-coloured houses in Bristol that overlook the city harbour and docks, on a particularly grey and gloomy day.
They partly remind me of multi-coloured beach huts and also of those 'paint by numbers' sets I used to have as a kid with the number system used to produce a 'stunning' oil painting.
Still posting the oldies, due to lack of light and inspiration!

These are the colors of my numbers. As these digits combine to form larger numbers, they each retain their original color. So 24 would be magenta-purple, 56 would be blue-green, and 99 would be a resounding yellow. :)
The Boqueria Market, was born as a travelling market, placed in the Ramblas of Barcelona, Spain. La Rambla acquired growing importance as a pedestrian lane, and the market was set in the best place to attract the large numbers of passers-by and local inhabitants. It originated as an open-air market, in front of one of the gates of the old city wall (Pla de la Boqueria) where fruit and vegetable traders from local towns and farms near by would sell their products. .
