I thought I was about done with error parts for now, and then this one showed up :-P
The instructions were made by printing several colours over each other to form the final image. The colours used were Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK). For each of these colours, the image was formed using a halftone screening method that uses dots of differing sizes and spacing to reproduce colour gradients. When done well, the combined pattern is perceived as a whole where we do not notice the separate dots or print colours.
Several of these images are printed together on large sheets, and as a final step they are cut and folded.
Here, something went wrong and the separate colours became visible.
The white colour we see is the unprinted paper. The Yellow and Cyan prints are exactly aligned with the white areas. Next Magenta and Black were printed. They do not align with the previous printing steps, but do align with each other. Therefore it seems most likely that the paper moved before these steps were printed.
Errors like this will happen once in a while, but usually they will be noticed and the prints will not make it into sets.

Those of you that know me know I love Bandits....Milwaukee Road still in action decades after the end in '85. So, when a series of absolutely incredible events led me to G67 parked in Nashotah Siding, in a perfect location for photo ops, without a crew, and a solo Soo 4512 in proper position cab forward, I let the shutter start snapping. G67 sat there from around 17:00 to about 21:20, most of the time with me trackside, and I got a ton of great shots. I'll share the best ones here.
This shot is figuratively and literally planetary alignment for me in so many ways.
“I think I was born an artist. In a way, we all are but I know from a young age I was drawing, creating, seeing. I had the right nature and nurture scenarios fall into place to become, to realize I think what has been my life destiny from birth. We are all born with a destiny from birth, born under unique and specific planetary alignments, under a certain set of stars in the sky. We are all born artists but the difference between those who continue to create throughout their lives and those who don’t is the childhood, the womb, the beginnings of life when you develop and grow your psyche for the rest of your life. The problem with growing up in our modern society is all the access youth have to the poisons of this world, easily through the internet and social media; these technologies affect development of the brain in ways we don’t yet understand and there’s potential for positive and negative outcomes, but I urge the population to make an effort not to use the media to spread evil and instead to nurture all who it can touch, for the sake of a richer future, rich with culture and love and knowledge. I dream of world full of seeing. and it starts with youth. Michelangelo claims that he as an infant was ingesting marble dust through the breast milk of his maid who was constantly inhaling the dust in the quarries, and that the marble coursing through his body was the catalyst to his superior level of skill and talent in the art of sculpting marble. Everything we experience effects us, shapes us, sculpts us. Each experience is unique, formulated only by time, location (space), and a potential energy (power), factoring in each preceding moment to equate what happens next. Create beautiful experiences in life and destiny will perpetuate itself.
We as a human population have the tools to spread this idea across the globe; I have taken it upon myself to work toward creating awareness and thought provoking art to get people to consider if they’re doing what they can to create happiness in their lives. I want people to know how easy it is to do. Our own experiences as an individual depend on our interaction with a collective whole, the universe. It is important for people to embrace who they are because we all make up the collective being and all our differences are what make it a beautiful, functioning universe; it requires all aspects of life to be a universe at all. We all have a place here, and what’s amazing is we are all capable of finding that thing that gives us access to further understanding our place in the universe. It is imperative as conscious humans with very individual experiences (formulas) relative to the universe to first become aware of the experiences and then to ponder them. It is the foundation of the potential to live a life that satisfies, which is what we all want isn’t it? To find one’s path, where they “belong,” an identity, is to know happiness, something each person on this planet is in pursuit of. and its right in front of us, all around us, we must choose to see it.
I have created my own definition of artist which is embodied in myself and everything I am. I cannot define the artist in words but what I do and what I am does. I have found my happiness in art and mathematics and nature and myself. One day my voice will be louder than it is now, and through my art the knowledge, the message I have will be heard by someone who needs it. I hope to use my art to promote creativity and individuality and contemplation, to emphasize the importance of the relationship with the self, and encourage people to find their happiness. I want to start a wave of creativity, self love, and exploration. I believe the world will be better because of it.”

The Empire State Building aligned with the east tower of the Manhattan Bridge. I redid this one with a bit more contrast.
Speaking of which, car service today, $700 later. Not suspension but service, wheel alignment, air intake service, wiper blade assembly replacement. Should be ready for my holiday to NW NSW next month.
Alignments appear and pass in the Sagrada Familia, even in the gift store. I saw this one coming like a planetary conjunction as I moved along with the crowd in a gift shop.
Cruising South of the South China Sea yesterday morning and an amazing sunrise complete with the alignment of the planets. I believe you see Jupiter, Venus, and Mars. Just amazing!
Bang a illegal u turn jump, on the roof and grab this shot of the train passing MP 30. This section of track was a new alignment built to allow 287 in town.
Note: This would have been a photo of two white dots on a black background, but its actually two planets, Venus and Jupiter that ‘appear’ to be close together this week. I composed the shot with the planets peeking at us through the branches of a bare tree to make it a little more ‘interesting’. (Best i could come up with at the time based on where i was with my family).
This is actually what astronomer refer to as a planetary ‘Alignment’ or ‘Conjunction’.
We are looking at them ‘Across’ the solar system. They’re not actually next to each other.
Using a baseball field as an example, say you hit the ball out of the park and can take your time trotting around the bases as the crowd goes wild. As you start your jaunt to first base and glance to the left, across the baseball field, think of the pitcher’s mound as the Sun, the second baseman would be Venus and center fielder, Jupiter. The two planets just ‘appear’ to be close together based on your line-of-sight from where you are, but are actually very far apart and in different parts of the Solar System, or baseball field :—).
So, that is what we are seeing this week.
From lower left to upper right - Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Moon and Mars in pretty much a straight line. Mercury was just out of shot below Venus - not even the fisheye could get all five at once!
Day 208-365
The new underground line between Washermanpet and Korukkupet readied by the Chennai Metro Rail Limited. This line included two station as part of Phase 1 extension to Wimco Nagar. The line will offer the residents of North Chennai neighbourhoods access to the transport system. It is expected to be ready in 20 months after contract are awarded.
2 kms of the line will run beneath the northern suburbs of New Washerman pet and Korukkupet. The alignment from Thyagaraya College to Korukkupet Junction have been formed up. Also, authorities have marked areas of potential impact of work on the buildings around proposed stations and tunnels.
According to sources, the silty clay soil will make it easy for boring machine to cut through. However, as the stations have to be built around the 2 km stretch, which is extremely congested, the underground stations will be tough. Phase I of the extension line will begin at Washermanpet underground station. This is part of the Airport - Washermanpet corridor. The tunnel for the line will begin near the Mint flyover. This will be bored under the railway line to Beach station.
These images are from two very similar projects that I've just helped my friends with. They want to be able to hold bike frames on their alignment tables by the head tube. They both purchased used bench centers, and we had to make bull nose centers for them.
The fit up needed to be very close, so we were working to within a few tenths.
The other complication was that one of the centers on each set was spring loaded and utilized a rack and pinion to withdraw it... so we had to mill those rack gears.
Its been a late wet season this year and raining all month. I was beginning to wonder if I would even get to see the planets at all, let alone a decent chance for a photo.
But on the 26th, the best day for alignment, the heavens gave their approval and kept the clouds away. I was even able to get Pleiades to join in.

I spent a day at Griffith Park's Observatory, and took a loop of the area along Hollywood, Sunset, Santa Monica Blvds. Visited Koreatown and Chinatown before a nightly departure. LA is huge and the traffic is terrible!
I planned this image many months ago. I knew the rising Sun would be in position for this shooting angle for only 2 days, and luckily this aligned with when I was visiting family in Brixham. I arrived in Brixham at midnight and was up at 4am to get the shot. Unfortunately, the sky was black with clouds when I arrived at the the location. I could make out the bit of sky, here and there, popping through the clouds, but by 5am the chance of capturing this alignment looked bleak.
I’d expected to see other photographers, but was surprised to find that I was the only one.
With half an hour to go, and nothing else to do, I began a sacred African cloud-go-away dance. Chanting in an ancient tongue, I summoned the cloud God and asked him if he’d kindly shift those clouds by 5:20am. Clearly impressed with my dance moves, the clouds began to thin out. By 5:25am the sky was clear in the right places.
When life knocks you down, just roll over and enjoy the stars :)
This shot is from a few years back, when I was out at Trillium Lake to enjoy the Perseids Meteor Shower. Being my first night-out shooting, I consider myself lucky to have captured the Perseids. It really did not start out that way. The first half of the night was more of hide and seek, as the meteors were adorning the skies, especially where the camera was not pointed at. I was much worried that the possibilities would only go down, as the moon was coming up.
As the night was wading, the moon was coming up the horizon. But only after I decided to stop chasing the Perseids, did I notice that the moon brought in Venues and Jupiter along, in a lovely celestial alignment. As I zoomed in to capture the night sky along with the Moon, Venue & Jupiter - a Perseids - decided to join the show too. I couldn't be more glad, when all things came in alignment :)
Perseids Meteor Shower is one of the more consistent meteor showers in the northern sky. Its coming up in a few weeks (Aug 12-14, 2015) and the waxing crescent (3%) would not be hindering the same. Have you planned where you would be enjoying the show from for 2015 ?!

Strange alignment
Back in 2008, our tour group stopped in Venice, Italy for a few days. Our group was together for one final night after two weeks travelling around Italy, sampling local foods, catching local transport, singing, taking photos, drinking wine, and eating gelato. A few people were due to leave as the rest of us continued to travel for another week. We had dinner by this canal and I just happened to be standing there taking a few shots when the sun, an aeroplane, and a seagull lined up. No, I didn't insert them using some app, because, well why the hell would you! It would look much better with a unicorn and a pug. Despite years of waiting, no other alignment has come my way..... Here's to you, Venice!
