Shot with my Nikon Df and my old Nikkor Ai 20 mm ƒ2,8, post processed in Lightroom using VSCO Film Pack 04.
DB 66066 'Geoff Spencer' is seen having a quick crew change at Blackburn station whilst working the 6G35 Clitheroe Castle Cement to Bescot Downside loaded cement train.It was seen here on Saturday the 20th November 2016.
The downside of a compact system camera is tracking moving subjects especially from a distance but I did manage to capture this reasonable shot of a Sheldrake in flight.
Marley giving me the loving look as I photograph him being oh so cute and playful. Posted for Happy Caturday's theme of "loving moments". Happy Caturday!
Same cold morning on Bristol docks. Really clear reflections, disrupted by a rather snooty shagorcormorant. Flipped vertically.

Just some impressions from Rottach-Egern, captured with my Nikon Df and a manual Nikkor Ai 50mm ƒ1:1.2, post processed with VSCO Film Pack.
白果银杏
The only downside to this is that these ripened berries often drop on the ground and start to ferment, giving a vomit smell! Many trees in the streets of Seoul are female and bearing fruits. Now we have cities where they intended to plant these beautiful trees( golden leaves in autumn) resort to sex choosing so that only male trees with no berries are planted)
For the adventure of some one who had harvested and ate the nuts ; read here.
The downside to having bird feeders is that sometimes they attract predators that want to eat the birds you're feeding. I just saw this nice looking hawk looking for just such an opportunity.
So yeah, turns out the Glitter Wave of Fashionistas have solid vinyl upper arms and removable elbows as opposed to the earlier wave girls with hollow plastic arms and non removeable arms.
Downsides include a loss of a torso joint and a ring hole on her hand so hmmm. I’m gonna buy a couple more to see if i can change up the elbow joint to accept other doll arms heh.
Cross-dressing as a woman is for me a lonely experience. My circumstances prevent me from venturing out and socialising en femme. Instead the Internet is now the only place where my female alter-ego can exist in a sociable way. I have found though it is a place that does not always provide the support and comfort I have been seeking. I am sure I am not alone with this experience. Flickr provides me with an outlet but many who I had thought of as friends no longer communicate with me and my correspondence goes unanswered.
It was a harsh lesson to learn that my views and contact eventually became unwelcome so I resolve to try and stand on my own these days. There are some people that have maintained contact and encourage me and I am grateful for this but increasingly I feel I am an embarrassment to others who do not approve of my views I express in my narratives.
For many transvestites it is a lonely existence when it comes to our cross-dressing and I am fully aware I am by no means unique in experiencing this. There are those who do socialise and meet up but for the majority of us this is an unlikely scenario.
This is not meant to come across as a ‘woe is me’ narrative, I am trying to express the reality that I’ve encountered as I think others too have experienced it and I just wish to acknowledge it is all part of the reality of being a a transvestite. I’m not pointing fingers at anyone just outlining my own experiences.
I do get a lot of joy from cross-dressing but I am more aware it is always going to be a private and solitary experience but I am pleased I do get to engage in the activity. I am not able to dress just now and my usual coping technique is to look through my photo archives and I gain comfort from the memories as they are snapshots of pure joy. The inability to get a cross-dressing opportunity is what prompts my rambling stream of consciousness outpourings alongside my photos. It always feels good to just sit and type away and let it flow out.
I hope to record some very honest videos this year as Helene as I have reached the point in my life I have a strong need to speak openly about all that I feel regarding my transvestism. I will really enjoy the freedom of that self expression. I bottled it up for two long and I am guilty of over enthusing and driving people away. I cannot change what has happened and I do miss some people but like everything in life one has to move on, tomorrow is another day.
I am more aware of my situation than ever before. I am aware of my limitations and lack of abilities but I want the elation and fulfilment I get from cross-dressing despite my failings with my efforts and with how I communicate and alienate others. I am a flawed person but I know that and just have to accept that is how I am.
Transvestism is not well received by wider society and even amongst transvestites it can be uncomfortable, it’s a rewarding thing to be a transvestite yet not without it’s downsides. On the whole though I gain more from it than i find negative.
I am aware Helene’s future is always going to be a solitary one but at least I can be her now and again and these days I feel easier talking about it, albeit in these narratives or on camera in my videos. Becoming her on occasion is true reward and liberating and yes, quite exciting, adore cross-dressing.
Not sure why i added the colour in the title, as anyone with eyes can tell. Anywho, I've been on a bit of a Star wars binge lately (could ya tell?), and it reminded me I hadn't built anything in....quite a while. So, the other week, I started working on a Jedi interceptor. Not this one, a yellow one, but they're built the same. The only goal was to downsize the cockpit, and to avoid using the official bubble cockpit piece. I'd say I've achieved that quite nicely.
So, this is my attempt at an Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor, in a rather stunning shade of blue. Only downside is that it's only got the top two flaps, as that's all I got (for now at least). I'll probably get the other one uploaded at some point tomorrow, so keep em peeled for that.
In the meantime, please lemme know what ya think, and if you'd like to see more Star wars builds :D
Fast glatte Oberfläche des Wildensees / Kranzberg in Mittenwald mit Blick auf das Karwendelmassiv.
Wie bei allen Fotos freue ich mich über Lob, Kritik oder Anregungen. Comments are recommended.
The light was low this morning, but I sort of like the flatter look - the downside is a very high ISO.
Downside up. I had a shot like this in mind for quite some time now and today I could finally make it real. Spent my lunchtime waiting at the Zebra for bicycles :)

Water droplets on an arched grass blade. The object refracted in the drops is a split rail of a fence.
Downside up, upside down
Take my weight off the ground
Falling deep in the sky
Slipping into the unknown
Perhaps the backside of drinking beer. I think the image speaks for itself...
Vielleicht der Biertrinker von hintern gesehen. Ich glaube, das Bild spricht Bänder...
THE DOWNSIDE:
A SUMMER break in the Highlands sounds idyllic, but it has one obvious downside: the dreaded Culicoides impunctatus, or Highland biting midge. If you're planning to venture outside at all during your stay, the chances are you'll return with a smattering of itchy red lumps.
But however insane a cloud of these biting insects may drive you, there is an upside. Midges cost the Scottish tourist industry up to £268 million a year in lost revenue because so many people are put off visiting, so should you be among thsoe who decide to brave it, at least you can enjoy some peace and quiet.
www.midgeforecast.co.uk which gives five-day predictions of midge movements around the country. With alert levels of 1 (negligible) to 5 (nuisance), it could make all the difference when it comes to deciding where to pitch your tent for an impromptu camping holiday.
First Through a Dirty Train Window Bridge Shot of 2014.
With Daylight Savings Time comes the treasured benefit of additional time before sunset.
It has been a dreadful winter in the Northeast. Storm after storm, grey sky after grey sky, freezing day followed by freezing day. Simply dreary.
Yesterday was one of the first days one could enjoy an evening sunset in some time. In fact, in Philadelphia yesterday temperatures crossed over 60 degrees. With the sun setting here, in all it's glory, for seemingly the first time in months...this man's phone, with a shattered screen, is his whole world. To each their own.
The downside to technology I suppose: Insular Life.
It's been a fascinating Edinburgh Fringe. I haven't got an exact total...but I think I've taken almost 6000 pics in the last three weeks. This is from the last show I attended on Monday evening.
It features two performers from Kataklo, an athletic dance theatre group from Italy...who appeared in the opening ceremony for the last Winter Olympics. I was able to see the show for free, thanks to knowing the producer (thanks Angella!) and also got permission to photograph it (I'll be making my pictures available to Kataklo).
I'm astonished I was able to get a picture like this. The performers were on a platform high above the stage and this was shot hand held...at 3200 ASA...telephoto at 105mm...relying on autofocus (in almost no light) with a shutter speed of 1/20 sec. I'm seriously impressed with my Canon EOS-5D...image stabilisation really does work! :-)
Oh...I have another picture of a performer from this talented group here: Making it Happen
Candid photography is nothing I intend to do. This one is the opposite perspective from the previous upload. That was taken from ca. 5 m below a swimming pool with a semi transparent bottom. This one is taken from ca. 20 m above a swimming pool. The subject was kind enough to strike this wonderful pose.
One of the downside of cruising is on land you spend so much time on a coach ,which can be so frustrating as you just get glimses of your destination, passing all the beauty spots at speed.Wonderful experience though to get an appreciation of a place..Ideal way for a recce for future photography breaks.
We explored the West coast of Mull which was breathtaking.This image was taken through the coach window and is some typical scenery in that area.
Thank you for viewing and any comments.
I started this yesterday, for Upside Down, but it is also fine for today's theme.
