10 Second Timer (Dash) Self-Portraiture With a Timer

Polarized light.
Water timer, uses two penguins to indicate time lapse. . When the top one reaches the center, time is up. The water and oil effects the polarizing; results vary each time I shoot it.
Reflection in a window of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC. The glass has distorted the image of the 432 Park Avenue, pencil scraper.
Wanted a 10 second exposure to smooth out the reflection. So set the exposure and shutter, then the timer so I could scramble over onto the rock and then compose, take a deep breath, and sit still for 10 seconds.
Thought of trying one for 3 to 4 minutes, then decided no :))
Firefiek.
I winced as I limped down the corridor.
"How much time did you say I had again?"
|Sabre:| "2 minutes, 37 seconds, counting."
Pain slowly crept it's way up my leg- blood was slowly trickling from the jagged gash the virbo-blade had indented into my armor and skin.
The duel had cost me time.
Time I don't have.
The familiar blueprint of the factory materialized in my HUD, marking the closest route to the rendezvous point.
|Sabre:| "Sir, you have less than 2 minutes."
I heard the apprehension in his voice.
"What are my chances of making it Sabre?"
|Sabre:| "32%, dropping every second."
"Perfect."
Straining, I forced myself to run, to outrun the pain- it caught up with me.
I clenched my jaw- rounding the corner I felt the blast of laser bolts pepper the durasteel wall.
Almost there.
The green timer morphed into blood-red.
13 seconds.
More blasts.
9 seconds.
The doors swooshed open, revealing the entry ladder.
6 seconds.
I scrambled up, as the white opening grew larger and larger.
2 seconds.
Blue arms heaved me up as the flames surged and poured out the hatch.
|Sabre:| "Knew you'd make it Sir."
I took a deep breath.
"Next time, I set the timers."

Back at the command post, we were informed the city had been won, and were handed over prisoners to escort to the cruiser.
Due to unfortunate circumstances, the route there would take a slight detour into a part of the city, where the fighting had been thickest.
The silence there was interrputed only by quiet flickering of flames, as the city seemed to decay and crumble in our very sight.
Part of the exterior wall of the city still remained, even after all the artillery bombardment.
I heard shuffling and a grunt behind me- before I could look, the ground in front of me blazed red with blaster fire.
I tripped over a droids head as I dove for cover.
HQ buzzed over the comm.
"Captain Havoc, please report status on prisoner escort."
"We've had a minor inconvenience."
"ETA?"
"I'll get back to you on that."
A small Marina down on Lake Ontario and this was sitting off to the side. This was taken after I waited for a sunrise to magically appear at the ghost ship at Jordan Harbour.
Happy Saturday.

ILSX #1359, South Minneapolis' native EMD SW1, is spotted loading hoppers at General Mills on the former Milwaukee Road I&M District. #1359 was built NYC #605 in March of 1939, two years before America's entry into World War 2, predating even some of the 4-8-2 Mohawks built for the NYC during the war. Talk about a seasoned veteran.

My dad took us to Cirque Du Soleil on my birthday this year. Seeing the smiles and amazed faces of my children; Spending quality time with my parents; Attending an entertaining event. These memories will last longer than any item I could have received.
This holiday season I'll be trying to give experiences instead of presents. As a bonus, this means very little time squished into shopping malls.
A related recent presents conversation with my son...
Sam - "What experience are you going to give me?"
Me - "The privilege of cleaning the upstairs bathroom."
Sam - "I think I'll re-gift that one."
A rare find, up in the Lasithi Plateau. Rare too was the amount of snow up there. I wonder what story's you have to share.....

Well.. I had to add a couple more just to fill the frame... Bet you can't guess which ones are the odd ones out.
yes, I keep going through my Paris files and I still seem to find pictures which I've forgotten about :)
.. I just loved this old white Citroen, it took me dreaming to other times:)

A timer in the kitchen is essential when cooking or baking a number of dishes.
I like the light this timer gives off when it is timing
I specifically tried to capture minutes and seconds that are the first two numbers in an arithmetic series, e.g. 6, 12, 18, 24, ... n x 6...
Not part of the challenge, just fun for me.

Self-timer was so difficult, I had to do this on my own and the shutter release button broke so I was jumping in and out the bath every two seconds to check the shot, dry hands and press more buttons only to repeat several times! Worth it though!
It took quite a few racks to get the timing right on this one. 1 sec exposure on the timer and the break immediately after the start.
Clunes in the Central Goldfields of Victoria AU was the site of the state's first gold strike in 1851. It is one of the most intact 19th-century towns in the goldfields, boasting numerous bluestone and brick buildings. The depicted Italianate Renaissance Palazzo-style Post and Telegraph Office, circa-1879 served a population of 220 at the time. It operated until 1975 and has recently been used as a residence and library.
I was at the Toad Suck Daze Festival in Conway a few weeks ago and spotted this Old Timer walking around Love that look on his face.
"Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
Black and white is how it should be
But shades of grey are the colors I see.” ~ Billy Joel
The only head bowed as a sign of respect for the woman.
La testa la chino solo in segno di rispetto verso la Donna .
