Orange & Teal Look

It took a lot out of me today to shoot this but I truly loved being outside exploring. There are to many days where I’m bed bound with this horrendous non stop illness I have. I cannot explain in words how much getting out with my camera can lift my mood at times. This shot wasn’t pre planned I just asked to get taken to an area I hadn’t been before and to stretch out in a new direction to explore. The light was beautiful as the sun was getting lower and it left me in awe of Mother Nature. If you actually zoom into my photo right hand side you will also be able to make out a ferry making it’s way across.
This beautiful old Bedford truck has done its time on the road and now it gets to live out its final days in a valley near Glenorchy aptly named Paradise.
This valley has appeared in numerous Hollywood blockbusters and truly lives up to its name. I would happily live out my days here too.
did this one with sofs when he was in town the other week.. its nice to meet someone who you always admired then even better when you find that you are both on the same page..

Die orangefarbenen Kacheln und Säulen sind DAS Filmmotiv aus Berlin schlechthin – mehr noch als das Brandenburger Tor oder der Reichstag. Sie ist keine Berliner Sehenswürdigkeit im eigentlichen Sinn aber dennoch liebt Hollywood sie. Die Unterführung direkt am ICC war das Double für den Moskauer Flughafen in "The Bourne Supremacy". Hanna prügelt sich in ihr Joe Wright’s "Hanna". Und natürlich raste auch Shah Rukh Khan als Don durch den Tunnel, um direkt danach im brandenburgischen Wald weiter zu fahren.
Berliner erkannten sie leuchtend orangefarbenen Kacheln und den 70er Jahre-Look der Unterführung auch in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2". In dem Film sind sie der mit Fallen gespickte Tunnel, durch dem Jennifer Lawrence und ihre Mitstreiter versuchen hinein in das Kapitol zu gelangen. In dem Blockbuster Captain America: Civil War findet eine wilde Verfolgungsjagd statt. Zuletzt liefert sich Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde eine Schießerei im fahrenden Auto im Tunnel.
The orange tiles and columns are THE film motif from Berlin par excellence - even more than the Brandenburg Gate or the Reichstag. It is not a Berlin sight in the true sense of the word, but Hollywood loves it nonetheless. The subway right next to the ICC was the double for Moscow Airport in "The Bourne Supremacy". Hanna is fighting her way into her Joe Wright's "Hanna". And, of course, Shah Rukh Khan also raced through the tunnel as Don, only to continue straight afterwards in the Brandenburg forest.
Berliners also recognised the bright orange tiles and the 70s look of the subway in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2". In the film, they are the trap-laden tunnel through which Jennifer Lawrence and her companions try to get into the Capitol. In the blockbuster Captain America: Civil War, a wild car chase takes place. Most recently, in Atomic Blonde, Charlize Theron engages in a shootout in a moving car in the tunnel.

When menhaden are roiling the water of the bayou, even the Laughing Gulls--opportunists that they are--get in on the action. The title in this case refers to the oddly symmetrical, broken white square reflecting on the rippled surface of Mud Lake.
It might be the heatwave of 1976 but it was still fairly overcast on this summer Friday down at Liskeard in Cornwall.
Captured here is Brush class 47 no. 47123 rolling in to the station with an up train of Mark 1 carriages, destination unknown, but perhaps headed to South Wales seeing as the loco was (I think) Cardiff allocated at the time.
Anyhow, more interesting than the loco is the mail trolley neatly parked against the wall, with the centre-pivot semaphore signal above it. And walking down the platform, arms behind his back and confident of his position in life, looks to be the smartly dressed Station Master wearing the BR uniform of the day, complete with tie - no sign of an orange vest here.
On the fashion front, aside from the flares, what really stands out are those shiny platform boots - didn't we all own a pair of those at sometime or other - and am I the only one who can hear 'Blockbuster' by The Sweet playing in the background?
Looks best full-screen.

Mission: Impossible 7 locomotive crash scene in Derbyshire. The replica steam train is driven off the cliff for the final crash scene in Tom Crusie's latest blockbuster film. The locomotive flies through the air in spectacular style before crashing into the quarry below. The train was built specifically for the film & resembles a BR Britannia and has been named Le General Rive-Reine which relates to the 1964 war film 'The Train'.
A very difficult shot, with security and cliffs. So, this shot almost didn't happen. Months of planning and an 8-hour wait, I got the shot with a clear view.

Website: Peak District 1 on 1 tution workshops are now back on.
A forested setting with bald cypress trees and knees while walking the Boardwalk Loop Trail. Light from the morning sun helped to add to the vibrant colors present. I was able to add to that by working with color control and control points to adjust saturation, contrast and brightness in Capture NX2.
Here's an oldie I recently dug up... certainly got my $$$ worth on this silver & black... Painted in 2001 on a major Highway... Ran clean until 2008. Seven years is a pretty good run. The spot looks like absolute SHIT these days. I guess I could go back and do it again, but that's an old chapter. Been there, done that.

I LOVE SOUTHALL!
We are promised, 'Most luxurious 3 screen cinema', showing all the latest Bollywood and
Lollywood blockbusters. It was once the very busy and popular Liberty (Lee-burr-tee, as pronounced in Lahore!) Cinema where I spent nearly every Sunday afternoon with my family watching all the latest releases; I distinctly remember watching Bobby, Pakeezah, and a few loud Pakistani Punjabi fillums here, as well as running up and down the stairs in the halls! The other two, both further down the road, were the Century and the Dominion cinemas.
All the shows were sold out, every weekend, and whole families would turn out. During
the Interval, we would always eat samosay and jalebi, and were always excited to drink Coke from a can. The current cinema was restored in the late 1990s for £3 million, and does a good trade since reopening in 2001, although nothing like the 1970s, where
there were crowds and crowds of cinema-goers thronging the pavements at show times.
I would definately recommend a visit to Southall if you're ever in town; there is fantastic shopping here for all things desi (not matched anywhere in London, not even in Green Street, imho), you can even speak to the shopkeepers in any desi language, Punjabi being the lingua-franca around here! There are numerous mouth-watering and unforgettable food places to eat, and ample places for you to worship, whether you are Muslim, Hindu, Sikh or Christian. And every religious day is celebrated with gusto, Eid, Diwali and Holi, and all the Gurus' birthdays. The Southall Mela draws hundreds every summer to Southall Park, as well as for Baisakhi and Basant celebrations. Parking and traffic is horrendous and rush-hour lasts all day long, seven days a-week. But, you are promised a total desi experience in the the west of London. It's not called Little India for nothing y'know!

Aka; the first appearance of the modern Suicide Squad, which you may well know, is my favorite super-team of all time. After seeing Xenomorph79's shot of the line-up I realized it was one of the major Squads I hadn't completed yet, so I jumped onto that ship.
Flag has an updated torso/legs, and Floyd's toting the gun used to help bring down Brimstone, Boomerang has a bandoleer now, and Tiger is Tiger.
Enchantress however, has a CMF Wacky Witch hat that I painted green and black, and a scarf made from the CMF Judge's robes.
Now let's talk about Blockbuster. I knew if I was gonna make a Bigfig, it was gonna be him, cause I just couldn't find a way to represent him as a standard minifig that I actually like. I've never done a Bigfig before, but for my skills I feel like he turned out pretty okay. Face is a little wonky but, it is in the comics too, so I'm alright with that. Base is just a standard Hulk fig, and indeed he does have his trademark mullet, albeit just painted down his back because a sculptor I am not.
The paint used was Model Masters over a spray-on white primer base for both Blockbuster and Enchantress's hat.
Anyways, I'm stoked to have this classic line-up together at last.
Let me know what you think!

Cheers!
getting sick lately? i spent nye and day, yesterday and today down with something. i think it's the salmonella outbreak going around.
and when i get sick, i get my migraines too. the only part of the experience worth repeating is the hallucinatory half-wake/dream states. wow. i could make some money in hollywood with these blockbuster horrors ...
remind me to tell you sometime about discovering i'm really an alien named "tig" from the planet "xalene" on earth to take different human forms for observation purposes. and how i found my way back "home" by the galaxy-wide night-sky painting that said "tig, this way to xalene" with arrows pointing the way ...
or the one about my self-determined walking tour of cambodia, the tourist traps and the bombing of the temples (both frightening each in their own) ...
or last night's not-so-mellow-drama whereby my best friend from SF was kidnapped, tortured, held for ransom while i tried to get the police involved but they wouldn't believe me because he was gay and the kidnappers were black and so it was an obvious case of me being a drama-queen and racist ...
or the other one last night where i went insane and couldn't communicate this to my 2 sisters who were getting married to each other that day, and the whole family thought i was just trying to ruin their special day while inside i was screaming in terror at what was happening to me, but all they could see was me looking freaked-out or acting like i was depressed ...
(no it wasn't mushrooms that made me sick.)
time to shut-down all circuits again. dearth of stimuli, here i come!
I think it says release... and that the wall was originally longer, and maybe said 'New Release'.
DVD shops are a staple here... but I've never seen any for rental. Why? Because Indonesia, and South East Asia generally, are known as hotbeds of movie and software piracy.
So there are many DVD stores anywhere tourists might go, and the DVDs are terribly low quality copies of the latest Hollywood blockbusters, sometimes available before you can see them in the theatres, and usually costing a dollar or less.
I asked in one of these stores once what might work if I wanted a LOT of movies, and he quoted me around 10c each if I brought in a hard drive!
Covid has closed most of these places down, by the way. No one is sure if they will resurface... but if there's a market, you can be sure there's a seller!
Another blockbuster day of migration here in southern Ontario, even with the downpour of rain, at times the number of migrants (Kinglets - Ruby Crowned / Golden Crowned) were simply overwhelming which makes it impossible to lock onto one bird and get the shot. In between the madness I managed to grab a few frames of this Brown Creeper!

What I like about shooting in the city is that I always seem to capture a scene within a scene. My target was the beer delivery truck. Later, while looking at the photo I noticed that I'd caught two people, unaware of each other, going about their business.
My attention was initially drawn to the delivery guy who is mindfully doing his job. And then there's the woman running toward the bank like her hair is on fire -- probably frantic to get some money deposited before recent expenditures overdraw her checking account.
Strangers passing in the night. It wouldn't take much tweaking to create a storyline that could become one of the great chick flicks of all time -- steady beer truck delivery guy meets artistic fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants city girl -- think Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. Or maybe thats already been done. Meanwhile, I have a hankering for a beer.
