This was the first view of the church tower from the end of Church Lane onto Fosseway.
The downside of renting - we're house-hunting again. A little bit of a pre-emptive strike at this stage, but worth doing.
So far we haven't seen anywhere we like.

The downside of having a sharp pointed bill is that once a fish is speared it can be hard to dislodge and swallow it. This anhinga was moving its head all around trying to loosen its catch without much success. It finally ducked under the water and when it came up again, there was no fish. Did it manage to slip it off and swallow it? I have no idea.
The downside of having family over for tea; double the amount of washing-up!
Normally we'd get the children to do it, but it was already way past their bedtime. So it was Kaptain Kobold to the rescue!
A year ago today I caught some light.

Harrow Downside buildings from the back. Although I went to the trouble of detailing this side it is now facing away from the normal viewing side. But at least I know it's complete.
The "downside" with a photo that makes Flickr Explore; means the bar has been raised impossibly high for the next photo, so I won't try. Let's make it fun -- here's what the rope was attached to...on that foggy Sanfran morning in Chicago.
One downside of our desperate, breathless scheduling is that our exhausted participants are particularly vulnerable to bizarre groupthink, and make poor decisions under peer pressure. Buying a Freitag bag is a matter of paying a hundred bucks for something that almost literally fell off the back of a truck. Most of the group had never even heard of them before we showed up here, and yet, bizarrely, something like half of us ended up buying one of the things. They are durable and versatile, but still! In order to escape the heady and dangerous atmosphere of spending, I fled upstairs to the observation platform.
The downside of drinking and paddling.
Hanging above the bar at ReUnion Brewery. A photograph was required.
We took the Amtrak out to Iowa City over Thanksgiving to our brother-in-law and nieces. I had two cameras with me, the Ondu 6x6 pinhole camera and the Yashica-D Twin Lens Reflex. I got to take both of the nieces out before we left. On Friday, Deidre and I went to ReUnion Brewery for some very fine beer.

the other downside of captioning your photos two years later is that you can't remember what any of the paintings are called.

Today I received my Pentax to Micro Four Thirds adapter to make use of my 50mm Macro lens.
The downside to a manual focus macro lens and a moving subject is well the difficulty to focus the perfect way to combat this is to shoot 4k Video and choose the stills where the focus, composition and sharpness is at its peak.
Here are my favourite 2 images that I have taken so far with this method.
There will be lots more to come I am sure, just waiting until my next payday to order my 3 Legged Thing (3leggedthing.com/) which will allow me to adapt this technique further.

The downside of living in a neighborhood that pre-dates the spread of communications and electricity. It is really interesting to scan the skies of our quaint little South Pasadena,... with so much protection of our architectural heritage, it is a real wonder to me why more attention is not paid to the wired chaos polluting the tree lines. This image may not seem that out of the ordinary for most US towns, so I intend to post additional images that might be considered more extreme (there are plenty such locations I have encountered).
Soarin' is a fun ride - it gives you the illusion of gently gliding over various California landmarks, complete with the appropriate scents. The downside is that the ride must be like three minutes long, and it's always a huge wait.
ok ..
that day we've just tried to get the magic time in the early morning and we were late around half an hour ..
also I've forgot my 10-20 lens wth a friend so I've tried to get a good results wth the 18mm ..
it's just an upload ^_^
Our 2007 Volkswagen Passat has xenon headlights and one of the bulbs went out. This meant that the bumper shell had to come off (as the headlights need to be completely removed to replace the bulbs), and to get to the necessary fasteners off, the wheel-well shields also had to be taken off. Here you can see the downside of the protective shield; there was a lot of dirt and leaves behind the shield. I wouldn't be surprised that if the shield were left for too long, that it might rust behind it.
