Things in a row .
Well after a trek out to look for things in a row - and failed , I ended up using the controls from my Oven Top Pop Up Photo Studio ( once my studio in a box ) . That's it , the cooker controls and not too much waffle this week !!
A straight shot - cropped and tweaked to go a bit high key , job done !!
A link each to my failed shots :-
And so to Sight and Sound --
If I say Controls and Sun in one sentence , think we can guess where we are going -----
Oh baby no no, baby no no
But I always lose control
Always lose control
Baby, I quit resisting
Just release with passion
You want it, me eagerly making my advances on you
As I lose control
Battersea power station - London
Almost a year to the day I attempted to get inside Battersea Power station, an iconic London abandoned power station that overpowers the skyline south of the river Thames.

Month of Mornings 13/30, Lake Waikopiro, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
One of the challenges as a landscape photographer is the lack of control that you have over one of the most important parts of the image: the weather
As we headed up to Lake Turtira, and its little brother Lake Waikopiro, this morning for my #monthofmornings excursion the weather looked promising; a bit of cloud and some hints of mist in the valleys. But when we arrived we found the sky was largely grey and dull, and there was no mist to be seen anywhere.
So the images this morning were not spectacular, but you can't expect to shoot a portfolio image every day.

This was a tricky sign to shoot. This photograph is an interstate drive-by, shot as we drove along I-10. It was the only way. We parked at the base of this sign and I took numerous shots, from every vantage point available, but this old sign is SO TALL that the angle just wasn't working for me given the bright sunshine I had to deal with. Nothing I shot looked good. So back up along the highway and -- ta-da! -- I got the shot I wanted. Thank goodness it's right beside the highway!
From the excellent Roadside Architecture site, here is the scoop on this oh-so-cool sign:
"Peninsular Pest Control Service was founded in 1954. While the bottom panel of this sign exclaims "Home Office", there never were any other locations. This sign was built in 1966 and is visible from I-10. The height of the sign including the poles is 161 feet. The text panels are about 20 feet wide. The word "Peninsular" is composed of incandescent bulbs and is outlined with neon. The other letters on the panels are lit with neon. On top of the text panels, there is an animated depiction of a man firing spray at a bug. The company calls him the "Penny Man." His arm operates the spray gun in three-part animation. The spray itself is also animated. The bug is composed of neon tubing installed on a metal grid. When the revolving man faces the bug, the bug's neon turns off indicating that it has been killed. The company had to fight keep the sign when the local sign ordinance changed. The sign is serviced every month or so to keep it in full working order."
I have wanted to shoot this for a long time. Its so unique. I tried to capture it with a dark feel, to help tell the story of the architecture, its medieval style and its past.
The Oswego Iron Furnace, built in 1866 at the confluence of Oswego Creek and the Willamette River, was the first iron furnace on the Pacific Coast. Between 1867 and 1885, it produced 42,000 tons of pig iron, sold as "Oregon Iron" to foundries in Portland and San Francisco. Before 1867, all iron on the Pacific Coast was brought by ship around Cape Horn.
The founders of the Oregon Iron Company—led by William S. Ladd, John Green, and Henry Green—sought to capitalize on iron deposits in the hills around Sucker Lake (now Oswego Lake). Controlling the means of iron production was part of their vision for a commercial empire in the Pacific Northwest. Most of Portland's cast-iron architecture and the pipe for its water system were made of Oswego iron.
The Oswego Furnace was Oregon's largest manufacturing enterprise in the nineteenth century. It consumed ore from two mines and charcoal from 22,000 acres of timber. Over the course of its operation, three companies owned the works: Oregon Iron Company, Oswego Iron Company, and Oregon Iron & Steel Company.
The furnace, which resembles a medieval tower, was modeled on the furnaces of the Barnum and Richardson Company in Lime Rock, Connecticut. The thirty-two-foot-high stack, as stone furnaces are called, stands on a twelve-foot underground foundation with massive walls built to withstand temperatures of 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Charcoal, ore, and limestone were fed into the top of the shaft, and air was injected into the bottom through three Gothic arches that gave access to ports in the smelting chamber. Molten iron was tapped through a fourth arch and channeled to molds in the sand floor of the casting house. In 1878, the second owners increased the height of the stack to forty-four feet.
The furnace closed in 1885 when the company built a larger furnace half a mile north. The firebrick lining of the shaft was removed and probably reused in the new furnace. An attempt to dynamite the stack in the early twentieth century failed but left gaping holes in the interior.
In 1974, the furnace, an example of the craftsmanship of nineteenth-century furnace builders, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The City of Lake Oswego completed a major preservation and stabilization effort in 2010, and the furnace is now an imposing presence in George Rogers Park. It is the only remaining iron furnace west of the Rocky Mountains.
If you control aqua in Texas, you’re a municipality. However, if you find yourself in control of aqua, you’re just thirsty. (Sea Life Aquarium, Grapevine Tx.)
It seems that we need control in everything, not just in these train tracks. They want you to control your rage, passion, dreams, speed, desire and so on. The other name for this is moderation or even constipation.
The idea is that by having a measure of control over various aspects of your life, you will be decent and sober and more importantly, you will control your destiny.
But can we really?
