Additional aspect of the fail: this is a european moth, and the story is about a North American BIRD.

Wednesday 27th July 2011 was not a good day for 46115 'Scots Guardsman' and for the clouds that once in place above the photo position failed to budge. Despite these shortcomings, I still pressed the shutter, and I feel that this image in monochrome is perhaps reminiscent of the 1960s, when steam and diesel in tandem was not uncommon. West Coast Railway Co. No.47760 drags the failed 'Scot' back to Carnforth at the head of the return 'Fellsman' charter near Dry Beck.

My first(failed) attempt at making a R-Type for the challenge over at the Starfighters group. It looks great in real life but since my photography isn't the best so I've edited up the pic to the best of my abilities. :P
Cheers!

I can't keep more than three of these foster kittens in one place. Only once have I been able to locate all five simultaneously. (The fifth one turned out to be on the bookshelf behind all of the books, bafflingly enough.)
What's wrong with this instruction? Photo has *not* been Photoshopped.
Photo taken at a local Target store.
reused some tape, paper got loose right at the end, but kinda cool result.
picture: my grandfather with my dad.
there were eighty-two thousand people in line at grimaldi's, so we decided to attempt pizza another time. i had to eat a gross salad and fries at fat annie's instead; alas.
this sign is the first thing you see after going, "fuck, well we might as well walk down to the water, since we came all the way out here." fail snail.

194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion conducts
convoy live-fire at Story Range, Republic of Korea.
Story and photos by Edward Johnson
IMCOM-Korea Public Affairs
PANMUNJOM - With weapons at the ready, members of 194th Combat
Sustainment Support Battalion set out at dawn to conduct convoy
live-fire training here, March 25.
The fast-paced exercise exposed Soldiers to many of the real-world
perils found on today's asymmetric battlefield, culminating in a series
of drills designed to hone their skills in reacting to road-side bombs
and enemy small-arms fire.
"These Soldiers have been training for the past six months to prepare
for this day and their hard work is evident in the outstanding
performance I've seen throughout the battalion," said Command Sgt. Maj.
Nichelle S. Fails.
At times gritty and intense, the Soldiers worked in teams to zero in on
enemy targets with their rifles and machine guns.
"This scenario is interesting and very realistic," said Pvt. Jiwoo Kim,
a KATUSA assigned to the battalion.
Pvt. Dylan Florres, a battalion mechanic and one of the day's enemy
combatant role-players, sees the training as realistic and a good way to
build unit cohesion. "What we are doing is basically helping Soldiers
learn how to train safely and work as a team," he said.
"Everybody is highly motivated and ready to fight," said Chief Warrant
Officer 4 Joseph Williams, HHC, 194th Combat Support Sustainment
Battalion, safety officer. "Taking care of our Soldiers is very
important, we don't want any injuries. That's why we do risk assessments
and go over all of the details to make this a very safe, yet realistic,
training environment."
Master Sgt. Kenneth Ashley, the day's pyrotechnics NCO, described the
training as important in building teamwork within the battalion. "Here
in Korea and in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, we need to make sure
our Soldiers know how to react under fire and to ensure they are
prepared for anything the enemy throws at them."

I tried to make a gouge from a masonry nail (supposedly hardened steel). After annealing, I used a Dremel and stone to cut the inside of the gouge, then hand filed the outside sweep and the bevel. Then I heat-treated it, quenched it in oil, and tempered it at 400F.
The handle is cut from some green wood from fallen branches I found near a creek during a lunchtime walk. A short length of copper pipe serves as a ferrule.
Unfortunately, after I sharpened the gouge, I tried it out, only to have the edge bend back on itself. A test with another masonry nail showed that I seemed to have heated it hot enough for heat treatment (a magnet no longer stuck), but the metal was still softer than a file after quenching. This is a good reminder to test unknown steel before you make your tools!
I found that the handle also fits 6-inch files, so all is not lost.
In order to succeed in Life, we must make our failures important lessons along the way.
Watched a good friend loose his first mma fight tonight but I am sure he will come back stronger than before. I have failed in many ways but I always try to learn from my mistakes.
"And why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up."
It hasn't been a very good day. I had plans to take my camera out and get an actual good shot, but I was busy, it was cloudy, and just other stuff is going on. Earlier in the day, I tried freelensing, also known as the poor man's tilt shift, inspired by Julie Paz's excellent picture from yesterday.
Obviously, it didn't work out as well for me as it did for her, though to be fair, apparently freelensing requires some amount of practice, and this is one of two shots I tried before I had to do some work stuff - hardly counting as practice.
Anyway, I'm having a bad evening and doubt I'll get a better photo before midnight, so this is it.
Igual se ve bonita la Foz aunque salio terrible fail xD

This was a test shot at ISO 3200 to see where the cactus was in the frame. I forgot that I don't even own a shutter release cable and when I tried taping a rock on the shutter to hold it down it came off in 10 minutes when I left it there for an hour. I gave up.
Probably the only situation in which my GFX failed many time on focusing the subject. For some reason it was a constant back focus, gladly this beautiful teen girl was occupied chatting so I had lots of time to take many pictures until I got the one on focus.
She was supposed to stand still and I were supposed to put focus right. We both failed a bit.. Still it was a good place to take a photo so I'm sticking with this one.

Our room is apparently not ventilated enough for a gas fire in the lounge. Not that we ever use it anyway, at least never during the day with Joshua around.
Parking is always limited here. This lady needed three spaces. She then yelled at me for "blocking her in" when she decided to leave.
i used to include the white squares when i started doing my "inspired by" nods ( which have become my friday faves ) but stopped because i felt happier sharing photos with my contacts, not just links.
but i am making an exception today.
i just think this looks nice,lol.
and it actually speaks to the intent of the photo that is NOT appearing in the center...so take a sec and look at it ( it is one of maite's ) but also appreciate the quietness it shares with all the other photos i have loved this week:)

As I wandered around the Broley barn again on a hot day when I caught sight of the rusty corrugated siding I turned and saw the accumulation of siding intended to (perhaps) keep walls on the old barn. I don't know if any cottonwood found it's way into the barn but it appears there is a lot of really poor ponderosa pine used. Let's hope your house is tighter than this. I admit that I am still looking Broley's over to try to get my seeing ability untracked. Decisions! In this case, I treated the siding to RAW layers and the technique I use a lot now just like I did the clouds example I showed earlier. I find I can exploit the textures on any surface. I may visit the barn yet again even before the weather cools in the fall. I finished the chokecherry episodes and have plenty of juice in the refrigerator to turn into jelly and syrup. That might be any day late summer this year considering recent heat and skies.
The chokecherries took me by surprise this year by arriving weeks early in a summer of record heat. I gave up arguing with folks who are convinced their CO2 doesn't leave Boulder County. When enough proof to convince them arrives, it will be far too late. The resurrection day will be far over when we can combat the fossil fuel industry power in buying opinions and politics. Here, we have strung up a year of over a dozen days of hundred degree readings where there are seldom one or two. The N.C.A.R. scientists say to get ready. Are you ready for your new lifestyle?
failed, but i still wanted to put this up.
Since the pano is such a wide image, it's hard to appreciate just how big in the sky this storm cloud was. It took me 5 pics at 18mm to fit it all in. It was raining a couple hundred yards out from the pier, but here it seems so far away.
and you should really really view this large!
