... and I just missed it.
For this weeks challenge, I have used 4 subjects that have previously been seen in other Flickr Friday challenges.. The reflected ceiling, the carpet, the camera and the clock... and rather than hide the camera and tripod... lets make it part of the image... it is after all 5 o'clock and I have other things to do...
Nikon D7100 _70-200mm f/4_
Trying to take an image of the acorn cap and a chickadee landed on it.....twist of the camera and I got a cool image.

I waited pretty well all year to get this shot, at this time of the year the sun is at its most southerly point (when rising off the eastern horizon) and it just lines up with this channel at Little Bay NSW.
''The Face you make when the Japanese decided to invade''
A soldier of the Kuomintang of the national revolutionary army (NRA) of the Republic of China is expressing his opinion on the war between China and the Empire Of Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
The name of the soldier is Cheng Zhoyi, a mere private in the army who joined in order to earn some cash, the timing itself couldn’t be better when the Japanese decided to invade China, which based on the picture he wasn’t too happy about it.
Despide his distaste of the situation, many of his comrades were rather eager to see actual combat, however some had no other choice to fight as they either volunteered because they wanted to protect their families or were press-ganged by the KMT in order to fill in the declining ranks of their men as the Japanese superior military hardware was proven to be no match compared to the Chinese, however this was compensated by the determination by the Chinese and the strength of the people. Something Cheng Zhoyi also shows in his face, the face of anger and annoyance of the invasion of the Imperial Japanese Army as well as a shown of determination. He has indeed seen some things.
People who are united as one in a time of despair and needs, seen throughout a single face.
Despide this scene never made it into the final brickfilm the event has been adapted in multiple brickfilms I made over the course of years, the links of these brickfilms can be found below.

WA-1 / Y120? comes off the south end of the Waterville yard lead with 4 cars to sort and manage in the yard. Although CSX takes the reigns in this area, the timing and train coordination of Pan Am still lurks.
Timing is everything, a split second later and I would have missed the water droplet falling from this loon's beak. That's why we've got high speed shooting now I guess, so we don't miss the slightest detail.

Two times a year, sun lines up for this reflection on the windows of the club house. With the low clouds and clear horizon, this makes for a nice composition...

A colourful building in Montreal that I stumbled upon recently. It is the new Convention Centre. At a certain time in the afternoon, if the light is just right, the colour from the windows is reflected onto the street.
Well away from its normal morning timing, here 60010 passes Miskin in the Vale of Glamorgan with 6B13 10:05 Robeston Sidings to Westerleigh Murco. Some recent bankside vegetation clearance has finally opened up this view once again.
Many of my trips to the former Boston & Maine’s East Deerfield Yard in west-central Massachusetts were not without a stop at my other favorite spot of Millers Falls. Here the north-south Central Vermont Railway and the east-west B&M would meet and the tracks of both railroads ran side-by-side for a bit. The CV southbound job to Palmer crosses the Millers River and I somehow snapped the shutter right before shadow engulfed the lead engine.
Just as Doc was exiting our tiny grocery store in Glennallen - 5 big tour buses pulled in dumping out well over two hundred troops. They all made a wild dash for the doors, and at times were bottle necked. I don't see how our store could possibly have met the needs of all those hungry young people. It's a good thing Doc and I got there before they did.

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
My trials with film continue. This is my 1st moonlit scene captured by a long exposure, with my Pentax 6x7 and SMC Takumar 105mm f/2.4 and Fuji Acros 100 film. Eagle Island lighthouse providing some of the illumination.
I've a lot to learn about exposures and developement times and technics of developing the negatives so that I don't leave imperfections!! I'm enjoying the process so far though, I could take hundreds of digital images on any given night and batch process in LR but with one roll of film I get just 10 exposures, long exposures, which is fantastic because I get time to enjoy the sensory aspect of being out in the night.

I believe this is the first time I was able to catch a train coming under the DeKalb coal tower at the exact time the setting sun was shining through one of the windows of the coal tower. There is only a minute or two of opportunity for this, so even though the sun was a little muted due to clouds, the timing was just perfect on this 8-29-17 date.
In case anyone knows the bride or groom and thinks they might like the pictures (we have a few), the wedding was at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mellieħa at around 5pm on 24th March 2023.
We were looking at Parish Church on the way back from our walk and wandered over to where two people were looking down on the Sanctuary Church - the Churches are next door to each other, but are at different levels. They had been waiting 30 minutes for the bride to arrive, we were lucky as she arrived 5 minutes after we did :-)
