Ondu 6x6 pinhole camera. Mkll. Ilford Pan F 50. Fomadon Ro9.

This is the same plane as my last pic. While I usually get the exposure right, that was not the case here. Besides: Everything was moving. Anyway: I sort of like the photo.

Skate Event in Braunschweig

A Palm Warbler misses it's first hovering grab of a tiny bug.

so, for the MM theme for this coming Monday, I thought it would be cool to use food coloring to “tie dye” cotton candy— nope, it dissolved it!!

Yet again, I fail at my attempts to make a cool meteor composite and my foreground isn't lit (I tried merging a moonlit view and it didn't work). Sigh. But after the work, I'm posting anyway. PS - remind me not to shoot meteors in winter again. At least my lens warmer kept the dew off my lens.

This American Coot came up with the equivalent of an "old boot" after "fishing" at King Gillette Ranch, Malibu CA.

I'm between work and orchestra practice. Not only has my schedule not allowed me to do much more than work and sleep, there have been multiple crises within my family and friends over this past weekend.

I'm to the point where words fail me. Not because I am the one hurting, but because I'm watching others hurt.

 

I've little or no time to 'flickr' until Friday... please forgive.

 

Clock work(s)

 

I think my father was a frustrated engineer. For most of his life he was involved in looking for oil, working out ways to get it out and then to transport and refine it efficiently.

 

When he retired one of his many hobbies was horology, the study of clocks. He used to buy old broken ones at auctions, dismantle them, fix them and put them back together. Well, that was the theory!

 

Inevitably the number of clocks dismantled way exceeded the number put back together. This is an image of a tin of his leftover bits of clocks that I have kept. I guess I have kept them partly to remind me of him, but also, quite perversely and worryingly, because I actually like them. I guess I’m a frustrated something or other too :)

 

There are lots of bits in this image: an escapement for regulating the power from the spring or weights (top left), two parts of a strike mechanism (the large cog with spikes underneath and the arc of metal with teeth), a tiny drum for winding clock weight cord and a pulley in the background.

 

I like the patina and corrosion on the metal so tried to bring that out in the processing.

 

This is for the Macro Mondays group’s theme this week Cogwheel. The image is just over 2 inches across.

 

Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Macro Mondays.

 

[Tripod in daylight with white card reflector; focused in Live View; remote release.

Ten images focus stacked in Affinity Photo.

Curves in LAB mode to strengthen colours and to tweak the contrast. A touch of added saturation and vibrance.

A bit of tidying up with inpainting, but there is a lot of dust and fluff which adds a bit to the feel of the image so I left most of it.

Sharpened using Unsharp Mask for the fine stuff and High Pass filter/Linear blend mode for the big stuff.

Slight dark vignette… and we’re done :) ]

8f class locomotive 48305 is seen on shed at Haworth 1940s weekend. The loco is in light steam as it had failed earlier in the day

Rien ne peut nous vaincre.

rien ne peut nous arrêter.

Nous seuls sommes un obstacle.

Restons ensemble.

Marchons, pas à pas sur ce chemin.

J'ignore ce que sera demain, Mais je peux déjà le construire maintenant.

 

Je ne marche plus seul, je le sais.

  

I'm in love with you, you silly thing

Anyone can see

What is it with you, you silly thing

Just take it from me

It was not a chance meeting

Feel my heart beating

You're the one

 

You could take all this, take it away

I'd still have it all

Cause I've climbed the tree of life

And that is why, no longer scared if I fall

 

When I get lost in space

I can return to this place

Cause, you're the one

 

Nothing fails

No more fears

Nothing fails

You washed away my tears

Nothing fails

No more fears

Nothing fails

Nothing fails

 

I'm not religious

But I feel so moved

Makes me want to pray,

Pray you'll always be here

 

I'm not religious

But I feel such love

Makes me want to pray

 

When I get lost in space

I can return to this place

Cause, you're the one

 

I'm not religious

But i feel so moved

Mmmm mmm...

I'm not religious

Makes me want to pray

 

I'm not religious

But i feel so moved

Makes me want to pray

Pray you'll always be here

I'm not religous

But i feel such love

makes me want to pray

 

I'm not religious (I'm not religious)

But I feel so moved (but it makes want to pray)

I'm not religious (I'm not religious)

Makes me want to pray (But it makes me want to pray)

I'm not religious (makes me want to)

But I feel so moved (pray)

I'm not religious (pray)

Makes me want to pray (pray)

 

Nothing fails

No more fears

Nothing fails

You washed away my tears

Nothing fails

No more fears

Nothing fails

 

Madonna, Nothing fails

37612 passes Cheney Longville with 97302 on the rear working 6C47 18.12½ Bescot to Bescot via The Marches and Heart of Wales line. 37612 would fail later that evening.

Having failed at Goring with 6V62 Tilbury to Llanwern steel empties on 25/July/2015 ,60095 passes Dunsomer Hill with Colas rescue engine,66848 leading and now running 104 min late.

So I failed Shiptember. Twice in a roll, guess the third time will be the one. This is the SHIP WIP as it was abandoned about three days to the deadline. I just couldn't handle the time schedule, and also the workstation gone crazy after three weeks of wild lego building, so element hunting became a boring task to do.

I've really lost the passion for the project after building up to my third wip photo, but up to the last week I had redone my colour palette and the SHIP became much more badass.

 

So, I guess that's SHIPtober for me. I won't just ditch this SHIP as I done to my last year's project. Will be ending up this baby in the next couple of weeks.

 

Thanks everyone for the crazy ride of Shiptember, lots of magical projects. Thanks for Simon, with it's energy and passion for shipbuilding, and also Pico for the sugestions for my project.

 

Obs: The black long antenna is supposed to be straight. That's something to be careful in the final photos.

Trail does not necessarily equal fail on the Iowa Pacific-operated 'Hoosier State', as demonstrated by GP40FH-2 4137, bringing up the rear of the classy consist at 18th Street on its way out of Chicago.

So after 6 years, SHIPtember finally beat me - I started off strong but just couldn't get the motivation to finish. Every day was a struggle to try to bail out the sinking SHIP, sometimes things just aren't meant to be.

Shutter got stuck.

Digitally enhanced structure.

Newtons Rings look cool this way.

That's me when I was about 3 years old.

I love Victoria sponge but somehow I just haven't mastered :( All this folding business and combining, I just chuck it all in and hope for the best!! Still tastes good though....

This rose never fails to disappoint, a cutting that gives endless pleasure in my garden, now in it's third act and if often flowers well into the winter month as well... and covered in frost can look stunning. Happy weekend to you all.

If you ever wondered what Truck vs. Bridge looked like, here it is.

 

This had obviously just happened. The cops werent there yet. The poor guy was sitting in the cab on his cell phone, with a "I don't even know what happened" look on his face.

 

Sad, kind of. There's no way that this isn't a terminable offense.

I don't make a point to shoot trailing units often (or ever really) but with this 'heritage' unit trailing it was worth a frame since I've only ever shot her solo working local jobs.

GMDD GP40-2LW MEC 507 (blt. Jul 1974 as CN 9472) was given this mysterious retro fresh Guilford gray paint job at Waterville in August 2020 and has been frequently assigned to BO-1 since then so I've seen her regularly.

 

In fact that's where she was headed when I caught her in the consist of Pan Am train EDPO (East Deerfield to Portland with a Lowell set out) rolling through the village here on Main 2 at MP 39.3/313.3 on the Keolis/MBTA Fitchburg Line and Pan Am's Freight main respectively.
