Yesterday I posted to Substack a bit of writing (and audio) about why we embrace the imperfections of film photography.
Few things exemplify that as much as expired film developed in ECN-2. Here, there's color shifts and probably some odd development quirks. There are white specks all over it as well, though I don't remember why.
I shot this in 2021 and developed it that autumn. I don't know why it took me this long to share it. Probably because of the specks and shifts.
These imperfections, well, looks like I haven't quite embraced them. But it's still kind of a cool photo. And a wonderful place.

Bit of a Throwback Thursday shot here, (though only to 2013). On a beautiful, clear morning, Indiana Rail Road's 25th Anniversary unit, SD90/43MAC 9025, leads an empty coal train south on the Midland Sub towards Bear Creek Mine near Dugger, Indiana.
Went for a wander in Abbeyford Woods with my friend Fran (who managed to get us lost ... which was rather amusing) ... the light wasn't great and avoiding copious amounts of dog poop meant I didn't get a great deal of interesting images ... but I love this one :D
Think I used the Takumar 55mm ... but to be honest I forget :D

A bit of luck and good timing as Union Pacific's MWCNP 03 (West Colton, California - North Platte, Nebraska) manifest and ARONSR 04 (Roper, Utah - NS Kansas City, Kansas) repo auto train pull side by side into North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on March 4, 2016.

Bit desperate for a shot today again, Storm Austen has made it very wet here today, plus time was limited as Oldmangellyroo had an appointment at the hospital this morning. Fortunately there was a brief lull, so bravely I shot out into the garden, got on my knees and fired off a few quick shots, muddying said knees in the process - I don't stay clean for long!
Another bit of flash photography due to our recent inclement weather, I caught this Great Tit in such a position that it looks as if its hiding behind its wing...now you see me, now you don't! ;)

A bit of history about Mission Beach, San Diego: As a result of a new official subdivision in 1914, encouraged by land sales in those next-door communities and a new wooden bridge linking Mission Beach with Ocean Beach, John D. Spreckels offered small lots for sale.As a result, Mission Beach is the most densely developed residential community in San Diego with a land use designation across the majority of its land area of 36 dwelling units per acre. It also has the smallest lots in the city, ranging from 1,250 square feet to 2,400 square feet.
Bit of a blow out this morning.
Turned up, got this shot quite quickly. Then the heavens opened and it became clear very quickly that I was totally unprepared for it. Wet camera, wet lenses, wet filters and wet me.
To top the morning off as I was walking back to the car I dropped my camera on concrete. Surprisingly its mostly fine. A little dent/chip of paint lost. Certainly could have been much worse.
But anyway, at least I got one shot.

A bit of monsoonal rain on the north coast of Trinidad island, Maracas Bay lookout, nothing spectacular, but this will be my only upload from that island as photo opportunities were very rare. It's also as close as my ass will ever get to Venezuela!

A bit more Photoshop pattern play, the colour palette determined by the music that was playing at the time, which happened to be a live version of the old Pink Floyd tune "Green Is The Colour" by Nick Mason’s band Saucerful of Secrets.
Nick Mason was the drummer for Pink Floyd of course, and it’s great to see him still playing and touring at nearly 78 years of age. Other members of Saucerful of Secrets you may know are long time Floyd tour band member and bassist Guy Pratt and Gary Kemp vocalist and guitarist from Spandau Ballet.
Saucerful of Secrets was formed to breath new life into a lot of the older Floyd tunes and it really is worth a watch - excellent stuff if you’re a Floyd fan, and worth a try even if you’re not.
"Green Is The Colour" was the fifth track on Pink Floyd's 1969 album More. It was composed and written by Roger Waters and the original sung by David Gilmour.
Here’s "Green is the Colour" live at The Roundhouse in London.

Bit by bit freedom is being eroded.
BBC News 25 September 2025:
Sir Keir Starmer is expected to announce plans for a compulsory UK-wide digital ID scheme in a speech on Friday.
The prime minister believes it would help crack down on illegal working and modernise the state, according to senior figures in government.
The practicalities of the scheme will be subject to a consultation, which will also look at how to make it work for those without a smartphone or passport.
On the other hand:
Arguments against national ID cards in the UK primarily centre on concerns over privacy, civil liberties, and cost. Opponents argue that a mandatory national ID scheme would fundamentally alter the relationship between the individual and the state, shifting the perception of identity from something inherent to the person to something granted and controlled by the government.
There are significant doubts about the effectiveness of ID cards in achieving their stated goals, such as tackling illegal immigration or crime. Critics contend that people working "off the books" or involved in criminal activity would simply operate outside of the system.
A centralised database of personal information would be a prime target for hackers and could lead to mass surveillance, tracking, and profiling of citizens, (as if it didn't happen already). I mean - like most people I have a passport, a driving licence, a bank account, an NHS number and a mobile phone. - what more do they need to keep watch on me?

A bit of a miracle getting so close to this species as they are extremely shy and wary. Normally they spot you and hide. However, on passage migration they appear to be much more confiding. They are usually found on desolate moorland and mountain sides but on passage migration they have been recorded on the coast and even in peoples gardens. They will stay if you have berries!

Slightly smaller and slimmer than a blackbird - male ring ouzels are particularly distinctive with their black plumage with a pale wing panel and striking white breast band. The ring ouzel is primarily a bird of the uplands, where it breeds mainly in steep sided valleys, crags and gullies, from near sea level in the far north of Scotland up to 1,200m in the Cairngorms.
Breeding begins in mid-April and continues through to mid-July, with two broods common, and nests are located on or close to the ground in vegetation (typically in heather), in a crevice, or rarely in a tree. The young are fed a diet consisting mainly of earthworms and beetles.
Overview
Latin name
Turdus torquatus
Family
Chats and thrushes (Turdidae)
Where to see them
Ring ouzels can be found in upland areas of Scotland, northern England, north west Wales and Dartmoor. When on spring and autumn migration they may be seen away from their breeding areas, often on the east and south coasts of the UK where they favour short grassy areas.
When to see them
Ring ouzels arrive in March and April and leave again in September.
What they eat
Insects and berries
UK Breeding:-
6,200-7,500 pairs
Conservation
22 July 2011
The first national survey in 1999 estimated the UK ring ouzel population at 6,157-7,549 pairs, with further range contractions and a likely 58 per cent decline in population size since 1988-91.
Recent studies aimed at understanding these declines suggest that low first-year, and possibly adult, survival may be the main demographic mechanisms driving the population decline. The large population decline qualifies the ring ouzel for inclusion on the red list of birds of conservation concern.

'thruppenny bits' are 12 sided nickel-brass coins used in Britain from 1937 until 31 August 1971 when they ceased to be legal tender. During that period they were worth 3 pence of the 240 pence that made up £1.
I stood a row of 9 coins on a mirror - all these date within the reign of our present Queen, whilst the other laid flat is older from the time of George VI - this has a representation of thrift. The coins are about 22-24mm in diameter depending where you measure them - they aren't round!
