It has been very, very cold for the last few days.... It will remain so for the next ten days. Wish you a warm and happy weekend!

My mom bought this Toyota Tercel new in 1999. It only has about 70,000 kilometres, and now I'm driving it. It's been very reliable for 23 years, with only timing belt replacement needed and oil changes. Did an oil change this morning, so good for another 6 months.

Walking down Main Street East on my way to downtown Grimsby, Ontario, the other day I once again found my eye drawn to a brightly-coloured sign at the entrance to a rapid oil change business. The hard light set off the red, yellow and white of the sign against the deep blue sky (no polarizer, in case you wondered). I decided to do a tight crop so the sign would be cut off just after the ‘O’ in Oil Change. Simply a collection of deeply saturated colours. And, of course, Red Rule applies. - JW

I had a roll of 35mm Kodak T-MAX 400 film which had expired in 2003, and I wanted to shoot it to see what it would come out like.
I had used the last few frames up while I was waiting for my oil to drain during a much needed oil change on my Jetta. I think they came out quite nicely, especially for the film being so many years past it's expiration date!

Live in the moments you are given my friends!!

This is another image from one of our breaks from the whole social distancing thing. We took a walk in the bright, harsh mid-day light and passed a local quick oil change operation. I saw the word ‘Change’ in yellow, set against the red and white of the building and all that set against the hard blue of the sky. Another harsh light abstract arrived at by taking things out of their normal context by means of a suitable tight, in-camera crop. And Red Rule applies, of course. - JW

Taken using a hand-held Nikon D800 fitted with an AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm 1:4.0 lense set to 86mm, ISO100 (Auto ISO), Daylight WB, Shutter Priority Mode, f/6.3, 1/500 sec. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source file: apply vignetting correction, apply correction for barrel distortion, enable shadows/highlights and recover highlights, apply a little additional contrast and Chromaticity as well as increasing lightness vary slightly in L-A-B mode, boost Vibrance a little, sharpen, save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: clone out some dirt spots on the shite part of the sign, use the dodge-burn tool to very slightly lighten the corners to deal with a little residual vignetting, apply a very small amount of overall saturation – just enough to clean up the reds of a slight magenta cast, sharpen, save, add fine black-and-white frame, add bar and text on left, save, scale image to 2048 px wide for posting online, sharpen very slightly, save.
Before we could leave for Arkansas, Hadley had to change the oil in my SUV. It has been a great day of driving through country roads. ODC: work in progress
3.5 hours waiting waiting waiting. (should an oil change, front end alignment and car wash take that long?)
was going through leonard cohen's last album until it simply got too depressing, then some classic rock. played bejeweled on the kindle for 3 hours.
night fell. i remembered i had my camera with me.
canon 5D III, LB sweet 35, NIK efex analogue pro cyanotype and 2LO texture everett 8.
I convinced Daughter #2 that she has small hands, so I put her to work cleaning out all the leaves and seeds.
A short lived pennzoil quick lube sits in a pasture, open for a short time and still standing showing its original build quality. It sits far enough from the road that its not been either vandalized or tagged.
Night, near full moon, 180 second exposure, protomachines flashlight set to green, orange and a shot of natural white to the front to fill in the shadows. Moon glow visible in the top of the frame.

I learned how to change my oil recently. I struggled getting the nut loose that lets all the oil out into the pan for nearly an hour, and felt worthless. A friend was called to help, but I got it loose before he came. I felt like a real man, and rewarded myself by eating a lot of bad food that day.
Got my oil changed at a quick-change place today. I was shy about snapping pics in front of the guys working there. Because I was too chicken to ask if I could take pictures of them, I kept the people blurry and put the focus elsewhere. But they were all very friendly and very good sports about it. The guy in this pic gave me a big smile and said, "Keep on takin' pictures!" when I pulled out of the bay.
After a bit of spill last time I did this (the oil is like water when you remove the sump plug), I'm trying to control the flow this time by holding the sump plug over the hole.
Wooden ramps I made myself from scraps of wood. If I did it again I'd alter the design so they nested better, and the ramp was smoother. But they work and most importantly are safer than jacking the car up.
