The downside of film and scanning is the possibility of scratching on the film. This image suffers from that a bit, especially in the mountainside area of the image. So don't zoom in, just enjoy from a ignorantly blissful distance. | Shot on film, Canon A2E, 2002; scanned in 2018 on Nikon CoolScan 4000.
the downside of kayaking with cameras!!!
yep... I did it again!!!
while kayaking on the (Little) Withlacoochee River Florida... during flood stage I capsized and dunked my camera (which no longer works). Part of the risks you take while photographing on the water... I lost a few items that I take to cut snags and overhanging branches. I survived (obviously) as did the card.

One of the downsides of my last minute decision to come out to the IN and shoot the 765 was my general lack of knowledge about the area. Sure, I did a little Google Maps-ing, but not enough, and that does only get you so far. Often times, unless it's an area I have previous experience in or have seen photos or videos of a spot, I find that most of my photo spots are areas I just come across.
For instance, near Montgomery, MI, a lone tree leaning over a small creek - which google assures me is the 'West Fork West Branch Saint Joseph River' - and the small concrete bridge just begged to be captured in a photo. Never seen it before, didn't even spot it on Maps, I simply ran across it and had to stop. Another chaser I'd briefly chatted with earlier, one of the many I'd see and meet throughout the weekend, was parked there, but everyone else was either racing for Reading or at the crossing just up ahead.
Tree shade and bushes be damned, I have to say that Michigan was treating me and the 765 well already. As an aside, this is the first time I've shot any train in the lower peninsula of MI, and the first time shooting anything in MI since I visited the LS&I over a year ago. Feels like just yesterday. How time does fly, no?
The downside of only having a 50mm prime lens with you, during a night stroll trough Berlin, is that you can't change lenses and/ or zoom in or out. It might been have better to take the shot from a smaller distance, but on the other hand I like the atmosphere.

...gets the chop, nearly!
The downside to great camouflage meant that I very nearly didn't spot this lovely moth hiding amongst the wood I was sorting to dry out as firewood in the garden at the weekend. I had the lopper blades positioned open right over it, and was ready to `chop', when it, thankfully, caught my eye!
As the moth was very subdued (maybe in shock, lol), and it was really windy, I brought it indoors for a quick photo shoot in front of the window (still didn't get the DOF quite right!) before placing it in the lean-to at the side of the shed. I hope it had the sense to stay in there what with the awful weather today and yesterday (see previous upload).
Oh.. and, if you've read this far(!), I think I have the ID correct, but am more than happy to be corrected :D, although I'd have to change my title :(
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." James 1:22
"Truth applied makes us fully alive. Indeed, most people know enough truth to live a worthwhile life. They know to be honest and not lie. They know to be content and not covet another person’s house, car, or spouse. They know to be patient and wait on the Lord to do a work of grace in a loved one’s life. They know to take responsibility and not blame someone else. They know to believe God and to trust Him with their life.
If we know the truth, why do we sometimes struggle with its application? Perhaps we are self-deceived to think the truth of Scripture is needed for someone else, but not for us. Truth is right and good— not just right and good for me to practice, or worse, to think I’m living it out, when I’m not. Feeling good or bad, or being educated doesn't transform behavior. What alters our actions is an inward change expressed in outward obedience. The wonderful benefit of this practical process is that truth applied makes us fully alive.
“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Truth is like a vaccination—that when administered—prevents you from being infected with foolish living. It is like a life-saving serum applied to sin’s poisonous snakebite—potentially healing you from relational, emotional, physical and spiritual death. There is no downside to honestly gazing into the mirror of truth—assessing your life—better yet inviting godly friends to look with you, and then by God’s grace, applying truth for change.
Is there a dark area of your life that needs the bright light of truth to expose it and root it out? Are there bad attitudes and habits you blame on past pain and injustice? If so, lean into the truth and do not be satisfied until truth’s application frees you from mediocre living. Truth applied does make you fully alive—it is a dependable friend who walks with you through wise decision-making. Dismiss dishonest living and invite freedom in honest living. Ask God to reveal truth to you and empower you to live out the truth." (Written by Boyd Bailey, "Wisdom Hunters" on line devotional)
Hope you have a great week my very talented friends!
The downside of where I live on the island is that I can see the light out east and out west from here. So I know this morning there was a brief interlude of great light. Alas it has not gone and is unlikely to return again this weekend.
So here is another shot from last weekend where I placed the sun in the magic spiral. I wish I had flipped the camera to portrait as itchhhh recommended. The more I think about it, the more I realise that it is good practice to just do that anyway.
Sorry for the repetition.
This is the downside of working from a home office. How the hell is a person supposed to concentrate, and focus on work, when the world's cutest puppy (with due respect to everyone else's) is crashing around, terrorizing and gnawing to death a carrot??
Honestly, this kid is like none I've ever met before. She's just so ridiculously easy to please. Most of her favourite toys are straight from the recycling box... a crumpled paper bag, a juice box, an aluminum can. And now we've discovered that she has a taste for veggies. It's a new (and overwhelming) surprise every day.
She's 79 days old. I'm 79 days in love.
Sorry for the lack of presence lately, been a bit that way meself..
It's been overcast gloomy weather for most of the last couple of weeks and totally uninspiring light for running 'round snapping pics.
Still, lots of forgotten ones waiting in the collection from Autumn to be posted.
A fallen Frangipani blossom landed on the leaf below.
No, I didn't put it there..
Haven't got macro tools so I stand back a bit and use zoom, which does compromise stabilisation though.
Hope you all had a good week x
This started out as an image of the ceiling of Downside Abbey, a grand Victorian monastic church south of Bath. It’s a Minor Basilica in the Roman Church. I took it a couple of weeks ago to assuage temporarily my addiction with vaulted ceilngs
For Sliders Sunday today, I doctored it lightly in Topaz Studio, duplicated the result, flipped it and put it by the side of the first copy.
I’ll post a link to the original in the first comment as usual…
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday
Downside of free-lancing: article comparing aspects of free-lancing vs 9-to-5 jobs | Client: Microsoft
Downside Up [30/365] - Today was a good day. I am all caught up at work now! So yeah stress from work is gone. Everything is actually really good right now, except just one little thing... but i'm not about to get into that.
Friends came down from Edmonton for our Ghost Whisperer/UFC Weekend. Tonight was tons of fun and I didn't even need to get drunk, lol. My sister and sister in law were pretty drunk and dancing all over the place, lol. Always great entertainment.
My friend Mat and sister Rosie decided to help me with my next project. I didn't have too much thinking time on this one. Kinda just went with the flow. For those who have been keeping up I'm sure you know that the picture in the frame in the background is my sunset image from my earlier 365.
Well I'm hoping to get up and have some McDonald's Breakfast since I have been craving it for awhile now so I better get to bed. It's 2:30 am right now so we'll see how that goes...
Starting to see more and more fungi now, had a good hunt yesterday finding this one at Dunham Lawn. It's true that they grow well in cemeteries as they generally remain undisturbed. The only downside is that there was some lovely Orange Peel Fungus beginning to peep through on a particular stretch of grass and the gardener mowed it!!!!!

I try to get up to glacier point every year the week they open the road up. Weather forecast was for thunder storms, so I knew it would be perfect as I Love the big clouds that come with that type of weather. the downside is harsh shadows and high contrast. Its always a long day trip, but well worth it!
I have been waiting a long time for an image like this. looking at the weather forecast last night I thought that my ducks were lining up, rain overnight followed by a clear sky in the morning. I was up and out early, arriving to find two large wheeled dustbins in the puddle from where I needed to place the camera, luckily for me they were emptied just a few minutes after my arrival, and I was able to move them along the street and clear the area I desired to work in.
Whilst I was busily crouched by my camera trying to get the right angles and settings a couple wondered past me and paused just for a moment to admire the view of York Minster, in that moment I saw a lovely composition and reached for the shutter, there followed an apology from the lady though it was not needed as their actions had made the shot. I would love them to see this by means of a thank you, please feel free to share in hope that they will see themselves.
one more note, this image has been flipped the upper part if the image as now presented being the reflection in the surface of the puddle

The downside of the Fremont rental cabins is the super bright street light that comes on automatically every night. The Caretakers Cabin rental, where we stayed at, is in the background.
Historic Fremont Powerhouse Complex. Umatilla National Forest, Oregon.
This shot goes some way in showing the downside of prime lenses. There was another stag somewhere in the back on that hill and I was hoping to capture some detail shots of them both fight it out but in the end, as they never went head to head, I had to manage to squeeze this fellow here into the frame. Would have taken the extender off but he was constantly on the move and so I had to make do with the 7D mk II's well spaced AF points .
RF354 (MLL991) stands at Downside having worked a 215A in from Kingston at Amersham & District's amazing RF40 Running Day based in Weybridge, Kingston and Staines on Sunday 24th March 2019.
Sanderlings are like the house sparrows of shorebirds; they are seemingly always there. They are very interesting and fun to watch as they tend to be in perpetual motion, running in and out of the wash. This guy slowed down for a second while he was foraging for some food. View large (L) for the full experience :)
It's hump day and almost the downside of the week. Enjoy the day!
