It turns out I had a dodgy camera on my drone! I was a tad bit disappointed with the image quality when I first got it but put this down to me being used to the sharpness of the 5D and L lenses. I began to wonder I had a duff when when other people were experiencing concerns on DJI's forum too. I sent some RAW files to DJI and they confirmed the camera was faulty, anyway, I got a replacement drone and image sharpness is loads better.
Now I have to re shoot the lock shots I took over the past few weeks, this being the first. The colours are also loads better from the Phantom so I've decided not to process in mono!
[polski opis niżej]
Jasło is a capitol of a district in Subcarpathian voivodeship and important railway junction (serving in 3 directions: to Stróże, to Zagórz - and further to Ukrainian Хирів or Slovak Medzilaborce, and finally to Rzeszów, the capitol of the voivodeship). Although Jasło and near-by located Jasło Towarowa freight yard are both electrified, only one direction to Stróże (on a mainline from Slovakia to Tarnów) is electrified. Both lines to Rzeszów and Zagórz aren't and for years Jasło depot was a home for tens of diesel locomotives, mostly of two classes: SP32 and ST43, both originated from Romania. SP32s were for passenger traffic and had very bad reputation as of the most faulty diesel locomotives in Poland (even the contract for SP32 delivery was at certain moment cancelled, when "only" 150 locomotives were in Poland. SP32 history wasn't long anyway. The moment that actually made the class extinct was described here.
Second class that occupied Jasło loco depot was ST43. These heavy diesels having their beginning in Switzerland, well known in some countries (060 in Romania, ND2 in China, 06 in Bulgaria) were perfect for mountainous areas, where Russian ST44 (M62) tended to derail on tight curves of railway lines there. ST43, although having typically freight characteristics, served also for passenger service only in summer, where electric heating of the passenger wagons wasn't required (air conditioned wagons weren't common then). Especially for long-distance seasonal services coming from various parts of Poland to scenic Bieszczady area, usually heavier than regional passenger wagon sets. SP32s were quite tired with heavier trains on some steep parts of the routes there, so ST43s were a perfect solution.
Here, the evening (and then night) train no. 31506 from Zagórz to Łódź Kaliska departs from Jasło in direction Rzeszów. As both unelectrified routes go in the same direction from here, after coming from Zagórz, the locomotive had to go around the wagon set to switch the direction. But not in this case. Originally coming from Zagórz ST44-399 defected and it was left aside, here in the background. The train was taken over by ST43-388 called quickly from the depot and ST43-388 departs with this train.

Jasło jest miastem powiatowym w województwie podkarpackim i ważnym węzłem kolejowym (obsługującym 3 kierunki: do Stróży, do Zagórza i do Rzeszowa). Chociaż Jasło i pobliska stacja towarowa Jasło Towarowa (a jakże!) są zelektryfikowane, tylko jeden kierunek - do Stróży (które leżą na linii Tarnów - Leluchów) jest zelektryfikowany. Obie linie do Rzeszowa i Zagórza nie są, przez co przez lata lokomotywownia w Jaśle była mierjscem stacjonowania dziesiątek lokomotyw spalinowych, głównie serii SP32 i ST43, obu (przypadkiem?) pochodzących z Rumunii. SP32 były przeznaczone wyłącznie do ruchu pasażerskiego i opinia o nich nie należała do najlepszych z uwagi na wysoką awaryjność (co miało być przyczyną zerwania kontraktu na ich dostawę, po otrzymaniu "tylko" 150 egzemplarzy). Historia SP32 nie była zresztą długa. Moment, który faktycznie sprawił, że seria ta praktycznie wymarła, został opisany szeroko tutaj.
Drugą serią, która dominowała w jasielskiej lokomotywowni była ST43. Te ciężkie lokomotywy spalinowe, mające swoje pochodzenie w Szwajcarii, dobrze znane w kilku krajach krajach (jako przede wszystkim 060 w Rumunii, ale również ND2 w Chinach, czy 06 w Bułgarii) idealnie nadawały się do terenów górskich, gdzie "gaagariny" miały tendencję do wykolejania się na ciasnych łukach tamtejszych linii kolejowych. ST43, mimo że miała typowo towarową charakterystykę, była również zatrudniana w ruchu pasażerskim w okresach letnich, gdy nie stosowano elektrycznego ogrzewania składów, a o klimatyzacji wtedy jeszcze w pociągach odwiedzających jasło nikt nie mógł śnić. Tym bardziej, że w przypadku dalekobieżnych sezonowych pociągów z różnych stron kraju w Bieszczady, zazwyczaj dużo cięższych niż regionalne składy pasażerskie, SP32 się z nimi męczyły na bardziej stromych odcinkach linii, więc ST43 były tu idealnym rozwiązaniem.
Na zdjęciu wieczorny, a wkrótce i nocny pociąg 31506 z Zagórza do Łodzi Kaliskiej, odjeżdża z Jasła w kierunku Rzeszowa. Ponieważ obie niezelektryfikowane linii wychodzą z tej stacji w tym samym kierunku, pociąg po przyjeździe z Zagórza musiał zmienić czoło. Ale w tym przypadku oryginalnie prowadząca go ST43-399 zdefektowała jeszcze na trasie i zamiast oblecieć skłąd i podczepić się z drugiej strony, została odstawiona i widać ją z lewej strony w tle. Jako lokomotywa pociągowa wystąpiła tu ST43-388 naprędce zawezwana z jasielskiej lokomotywowni. 16 sierpnia 2002 r.

July in January
BNSF 3270, which will turn five in May, looks pretty good here. It’s fared much better than many of the T4’s, nearly all of which seem to suffer the same issue with the paint being melted off below the exhaust stack. I’m not exactly sure what causes this, but clearly there is something faulty with the way the internals were assembled, or so it seems. Many of UP’s GEs suffer the exact same problem, with flags peeling off and burnt to a crisp in a very short time frame relative to the life span of those units. I know very little about how this all works, I only notice the problem, so perhaps someone who knows what is going on here can share some insights.

Today just marked the end of a historic run—17 consecutive January days without measurable precipitation in Portland, tying the previous record (set in 1948). We missed setting a new record by two hours as the rains have just started to move in. Of the past 17 days, it has been sunny for nearly 11 of them, a truly remarkable number in January, a month sometimes known for not hosting a single sunny day. Yesterday was the end of that magical run, the “feels like” temperature reaching a high of 55 in the early afternoon—the actual being 50—for one last time before plunging back into winter to start the month of February. I sat in disbelief of what I just witnessed the past couple weeks all afternoon, and my mind came back to this day during that sunny stretch. It was part of a streak of very successful Gorge days stretching back to November in which all the pieces fell perfectly into place. Unfortunately this streak would be broken by a very poor outing just six days later, but that doesn’t change just how big of a smile I sported the entire drive home. There are many, many things in life much more important than trains, but I use this hobby to support what is at the top of my list of the important things in life—physical, mental, and perhaps even spiritual wellbeing. I’ve said it many times now that the Columbia River Gorge is the only place I have experienced so far that puts me in a state of enchantment, an almost ethereal feeling, similar to the feelings many get when pondering about space and the stars. The end of a cloudless winter day reinforces these feelings like no other day can.

A passenger airliner that crashed on September 2, 1998, off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, killing all 229 on board. The subsequent investigation determined that faulty wires caused the plane’s flammable insulation to catch fire.
Two memorials to those who died in the crash were established by the Government of Nova Scotia. One is to the east of the crash site at The Whalesback, 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of Peggy's Cove. After the crash, there was an immediate rescue response. Private boats from the coastal communities of Peggy's Cove and around headed out to the crash zone and were among the first to arrive at the crash site.
They were met with a sea of floating debris and the overwhelming smell of aviation fuel. It became quickly obvious there would be no rescue.
The second is a more private, but much larger commemoration located west of the crash site near Bayswater Beach Provincial Park on the Aspotogan Peninsula in Bayswater.
A fund was established to maintain the memorials and the government passed an act to recognize the memorials.
A further permanent memorial, albeit not publicly accessible, was created inside the Operations Center at Zürich Airport where a simple plaque on the ground floor in the centre opening of a spiral staircase pays tribute to the victims.

I was supposed to wake up at around 5am today to catch the sunrise. I set the alarm on both my phone and iPod. I actually did wake up at the right time, but then I just fell asleep again. :| Fail. I'll try again soon. :P
Tibetan name is Lake Mapam Yutso
Manasarovar, the great turquoise lake. Unvanquished Turquoise Lake, another name of Manasarovar. the Ever-cool Turquoise Lake, Manasarovar. Lake Manasarovar. At 4572 meters, and with 320 square kilometers, Lake Manasarovar is one of the the highest large body of fresh water in the world.
Its other names are the Unvanquished Turquoise Lake (ma pham g.yu mtsho), Anavatapta, the Ever-cool Lake (mtsho ma dros pa), and the Divine Lotus Lake (padma lha mtsho). It is called the Unvanquished Lake because when one examines all the other great lakes of Tibet to see if they possess the eight qualities of perfect water (chu yan lag brgyad ldan) they are faulty in some respect. It is called Turquoise Lake because its limpid waters resemble a turquoise mandala. It is given the name Ever- cool Lake because it is the palace of the naga king Anavatapta, "Who Never Warms Up." It is called Divine Lotus Lake because it resembles a fully opened eight-petaled lotus. [MR]. Manasarovar A lake in western Tibet, near Mount Kailash, sacred to Chakrasamvara.

Hi everyone!! Happy New Year!! Right before Christmas my internet was down for a week or so-faulty corroded connection outside:(. And then I was away in Canada:). Hope you all had wonderful holidays!! A few more wolf photos before moving on:):).
Another clear sky day begins. The dry period in autumn continues in Tasmania. It might be my faulty memory, but this scene reminds me of areas around Los Angeles.
Somebody queue Eddie Van Halen! WP 2261 is leading the SN Detour, which is detouring from it's normal Santa Fe detour between Stockton and Pittsburg, and is running the SP Mococo Sub due to bridge issues on the Santa Fe. The 2261 is obviously having mechanical issues, most likely with a faulty turbo or stuck injector, because every time the engineer widens the through the GE 23B erupted in a cloud of smoke and fire, and because of the detour and the number of railfans out photographing the rare mileage event, the engineer was more than happy to put on a show each and every time he spotted photographers track side!
Here the 2261 is Stockton bound on the Mococo approaching the Grandt Line Road grade crossing at MP 73.5 way back in October 1980!

Another weekly LBOB league build, (predominantly anyway) just tidied up and staged slightly better. I really enjoyed building the range best as I found a use for a trans blue flame piece....

19th century factories converted into offices, Yakimanskaya Embankment. Distortions are from my faulty handling of the wide angle lens.
Totally rebuilt after a fire of a few years ago. Wonderful fund raising and construction. The old foundation was faulty and it too was rebuilt. A great place to visit,,,buy something unusual and just go back in time for a while.
Using a faulty soligor lens that's slightly misaligned, just for fun. I don't like it much for distance but its very interesting at shallow DOF and close up.
Thermal imaging cameras are typically used to identify faulty equipment, although they were also used in the pandemic to identify feverish humans (with limited success). It's a relief to see that I'm apparently in rude health here.
Taken with a FLIR E60 thermal camera, with no delay timer or remote, so I used a metre stick and poked the trigger from an appropriate distance.
In post-processing, I've tried my best to undo some of the evil effects of the heavy JPEG compression by denoising the image. I've also cropped slightly to help with framing.
My smallest Flickr post by some distance; just 267 by 200 pixels.
In recent times, people tend to discard faulty items rather than mend and fix. Quite a lot has changed during this pandemic. I know many people, myself included, that picked up a brush and started painting. Not on canvas, but on walls, skirting boards and bannisters. People learned how to fix bikes and mend other households items. There are other things that still need to be tweaked. From public procurement to economic inequalities in different parts of the world and let us not forget environmental issues, such as air and water pollution, ozone depletion, and biodiversity loss. Fixing those is not an easy task.
Other things, such as architectural ruins, rusty boats or decayed bridges, are beautiful and just await to be photographed, like this building which has never been completed. There is something infinitely compelling in objects that have seen better days, items that are rusty or have fallen into disrepair. I see it as a destructive sublime, and always wonder about the history of such items. Photographing ruins has become a popular genre, and I can understand why as one can capture the impossibility of holding back time, where photographing such objects can speculate on other states of existence. It can also indicate on our own physical fragility.
To me, it is all about fixing a moment in time.
So to cut a long story short this lens is faulty again and it's going to cost me over £500 to repair. I think I will cut my losses and buy something different. I have my eye on the RF 100-400mm which should give more reach for supermoon photos but still fairly lightweight, I haven't got the energy to carry anything massive around.
The first and last time I've ever bought new. At least used lenses are tried and tested.
