Early Images of the Control Burn which got a little out of control. Now new growth will begin because of seeds that needed heat to germinate. This was taken from North Point when the fire was pretty intense. You can barely see the flames in the lower center of the smoke. Quite impressive. Best seen with a black border.
I bought this Acctim Radio-controlled clock from Robert Dyas. I could not get it to show anywhere near the correct time after several attempts - resetting it, leaving it to pick up a signal overnight, changing the battery, and switching it to a manual quartz clock and then back again. It was obviously picking up a radio signal but on each occasion that the hands stopped moving the time was several hours out.
I was about to return it to Robert Dyas when I decided to phone the manufacturers. The switchboard immediately told me that what you have to do is take out the battery, put it back the WRONG way round, leave it a few seconds, and then replace it the correct way round.
I tried this somewhat bizarre solution and the clock immediately worked perfectly. If this solution is so well known to the manufacturers that even the switchboard know of it, why can it not be included in the instructions?

The control tower at Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, shot during a cloudy, wet and windy day.
The photo was shot from Schiphol's "Panorama Terrace". I used an M.Zuiko 40-150mm lens @132mm and E-PL1 camera.
"Man Controlling Trade," a sculpture (1942) by Michael Lantz outside the Federal Trade Commission headquarters in Washington, D.C. I'm not sure who will win.
Motion control head I designed around a pair of surplus precision worm gearboxes. The vacuum infused carbon fibre covers are largely superficial/protective, they were my first experiment in directly CNC machining a mould. I machined the aluminium parts on my CNC router and anodized them at home.
Because the head was constructed around existing gearboxes its a little larger and heavier than I would like, weighing around 5KG but supporting loads upwards of 10kg.
There's something about the sight of a camera that brings out the 'control freak' in some people. I have no idea why. Perhaps an aspiring psychologist could make their thesis topic. Anyway ...
I stopped to photograph a minor accident in which this blue car smashed into a parked truck. I took a few photos of the blue car. Almost right away this passenger demanded to know who I was (I didn't tell her), what I was doing (taking photos), and why (it's a hobby), and what I was going to do with it (keep it on my computer). She then went on to say I had better delete the photo (nope), that I was "interfering with someone's crisis" (wrong), that I had to move along (no, you can't tell me what to do), & that I wasn't allowed to take photos of other people's things (wrong again).
I'd planned on leaving because the accident was unremarkable, but because of this woman's obnoxious challenge I stuck around & again pointed my camera at the car. She decided to try blocking my shot by standing between me and the car. How odd that she didn't want me to photograph the car but didn't mind my snapping a photo of her backside.
This incident pales in comparison to others in the Harassed Photographer group. Nevertheless, it made me decide that this image, which normally would have languished unseen on my hard drive forever, should instead be made available to the entire world.

One from last night’s shenanigans in London…can’t tell you the location as it is very sensitive! After some limbo style entry points and wading across a sea of glutinous mud, running about like a bunch of girls at a JLS concert to find the way in …we did!
Many…many..many stairs later and a late night phone call to Matt (you are our saviour) we found the still beating heart of this iconic landmark on the London horizon. So out came the wangles and fish eyes and many many cross words about photo bombing !
Such a small room to control such a huge place and for 7 urbex folk to squeeze in!
Then…the roof…the London rain and the early morning chill. Ended off by many many many more stairs to find the way back out….we should hang our heads in shame…like a bunch of newbs !
Back across the sea of mud, very wet by now and very tired. What do we find…the nice chaps employed to keep us out in the first place and have sealed us in!
Thank the urbex gods that one of us smoked and a lighter got us out !
Huge thanks to the usual team..you all know who you are ! But in case you have forgotten….Wes, Luke,Oli,Robbie,Bish and some polish guy!
The goats are there to keep the vegetation under control along the ramparts of Fort Rowner inside HMS Sultan engineering school. This gate is to prevent them getting onto the parade ground and wandering off around HMS Sultan.
Fort Rowner is one of the Palmerston Follies (after Lord Palmerston) built in the late 1850s and early 1860s as protection for Portsmouth harbour in case the French decided to invade Britain. After all the French had the first iron clad warship!
Taken with my little Panasonic camera as my Canon 7D Mk2 now returned to LCE for dispatch to Canon K for repair. The Error 20 message from yesterday has been replaced by Error 30!
