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 only downside to uploading pictures to flickr is when you have a near perfect image (referring to clarity, exposure and an overall high quality RAW image produced by the camera) one is forced to degrade the image to some degree by converting a RAW image to a JPG image.
Just saying...............
I think back fondly of this sunny and warm day now that the "bite" of a cold dreary winter is upon us.
Taken on the Leeds Liverpool canal near the Wigan Flashes. I liked the picture but then, for some reason I turned it upside down..and strangely I liked it even more. Hope you do too. Tell me (nicely of course) if you don't.

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?
...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 :(
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.

About time I got some more of these guys out there!
Left to Right:
Green Knight
A mystery man in a suit of power armor, which grants him increased strength. He is an excellent swordsman, as well.
Blowtorch
Henry Mansfield, a reformed pyromaniac armed with precision flamethrowers, joined the team after being released from prison, bringing a rather unconventional method of crime-fighting with him.
Nemesis
Gabriela Fo has the unique ability to manifest herself as her opponent's greatest weakness. However, she does not necessarily know how to use that weakness against them.
While fighting Shatterpoint, she was nearly killed after turning into an ant. Only later was it discovered that the villain was entomophobic.
Vigilance
A crack shot with most weapons and a strong hand-to-hand fighter, this unknown face brings a close-quarters edge to the Guardians.
Loose Cannon
Taylor "Cannonball" Johnathan has the power to slingshot himself in any direction at immense velocity. He calls these bursts of movement "cannonshots". The downside of this power is his inability to slow himself or change direction once in motion, save for performing another cannonshot in mid-flight.
I hope you like them, and let me know if there's something you think I could've done better for them.
On the plus side, no traffic jams. On the downside, all that meandering. It's never going to work in rush hour. Just one boy racer, ploughing down the middle, and that'll be that.
Today's Tuscan highlight. Refreshingly free of telegraph poles, wires and cars. Technology is a wonderful thing.
Happy Veering Round the Bends Monday.
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
In the English language, the term "upside down" is often used. So I will literally turn that on it's head and use "downside up"
More camera rotation faffery where the camera is rotated on it's lens axis during a single continuous photographic exposure. No Photoshop, no AI, only camera rotation.

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...
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.

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.
On my way home from Snowdonia last Wednesday I decided to make some good use out of the fine weather. Unknown to me West Coast operated 34046 Braunton was due through my chosen station of Acton Bridge. Th only downsides were the fact that it wasn't due until 9.00pm and then platforms were pretty crowded.
It has been a good while since I last saw a steam engine pass by at speed and most impressive it was.
