There are two cars both on yellow lines, one going the right way and one going the wrong way. Behind the, 'Eddie Stobart' wagon is another car parked up, preventing the wagon from making a straight approach past these two red cars. This is the result. I felt sorry for the wagon driver, he was just trying to get to his next destination.
During the 2008 high gas prices, Metra sold some of their Ex-C&NW Pullman Standard Cars to VRE only to find out they were short equipment. To compensate, Metra borrowed these Stainless Steel Cars for the duration. Picture here at Amtrak's 14th Street Yards in Downtown Chicago in 2008.
We were looking for a place to eat and ended driving up a dead end street. This was at that end which we just had to photograph!

Lots wrong with this shot, but as it's my first attempt at off camera lighting, I thought I'd upload it to keep a record of how I improve!
Strobist:

YN460 on the floor, full power, diffused, aimed at a wall camera right
Triggered via povertywizzards :)
Issues - I'd just cleaned my bike and had a rare 15 minutes free so thought I'd give it ago. I couldn't get the camera far enough away so it's shot with a kit canon 18-55 @ 18mm, which is why there's distortion at the edges.
The little wall really shouldn't be there, but the bike was in my back garden and there was no where else to set up.
Next shots will be better :)
Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan was the man of the hour after he successfully flew from Brooklyn to Ireland in 1938. Although he tried to go through proper channels to obtain permission for the flight, the powers that be deemed his plane unsafe on several occasions and denied his requests. Unwilling to give up on his dream, Corrigan flew out of Brooklyn with a flight plan saying he was heading back to California, but he went straight east toward Ireland instead. After a grueling journey and a safe landing, Corrigan claimed that he made a navigation error and didn't realize he was going the wrong way until he was too far out to return. And that's how he got his nickname, Wrong Way.
I know that there was a huge ticker tape parade for him in NYC and one in Chicago, so I'm assuming that these photos were taken in one of those cities. Does anyone recognize the buildings?
I recently bought a bunch of 35mm negatives at a flea market, expecting them to be your standard photographic fare -- people lined up in front of a house smiling at the camera, a blurry car or two, maybe (if you're lucky) an interesting snap of a street scene or interior. But, this lot was gloriously different.
Every vintage 30's photo is a gorgeous delight, and, after looking at the first couple of scanned images, it was quite obvious that the photographer knew what he/she was doing. There are some great portraits, people working in an office, some great shots of NYC, and, even better, a big group of shots of the New York World's Fair (the most spectacular of them all, in my opinion).
For one reason or other 50 026 finds it's self running wrong line at North Weald during an EMRPS photo shoot.
Ha. "One of these things just doesn't belong here..."
Drove nearly an hour to shop at a Walmart I hadn't been to in years! And while checking out their doll selection, I was hoping to find either Clawdeen Wolf, or It's My Nature Katie (she's the only Nature LIV doll I plan to buy...and that's only if I like her 'in person'; I've yet to see her in-person!) an was tickled to see NOT an It's My Nature Katie, but a darn First Wave!
The other dolls asking: "How'd you get in here...?"
Sophie screams: Go back to the Clearance aisle!" ;)
Went down a wrong street one afternoon and found an old Jewish cemetery on Buffalo's East Side. The most recent stones were dated from the late 1950s. The oldest stones are from the early 1800s, the earliest days of of the City of Buffalo when the "East Side" was sparsely populated farmlands. It is now a decayed urban area suffering from blight and disinvestment like so many "Rust Belt" cities. When the first people were buried here, one might have been able to look all the way to Lake Erie to the west and would have seen farms and animals as far as the eye could see. The streets were likely dirt or perhaps a few nicer streets paved with bricks.
Must have been very quiet compared to the industrial age that came, and the cars and the airport a few miles to the northeast. One of the oldest headstones showed a rabbi buried here in the mid 1800s. He was born in the early 1800s just a few years after the British burned the Village of the Buffalo down in retaliation for the American burning of of Niagara on the Lake and Fort George. Native Americans lived on reservation lands just a few miles south of here, south of the Buffalo River. There were remnants of Native-American mounds and probably burial mounds in farm fields, some that date back to thousands of years ago, just after the glaciers retreated. Years later the area would become a dense urban area with shops standing shoulder to shoulder on Genesee Street and ranks of houses running off the side streets, and trolleys trundling down the streets. In my life time this area has suffered and and its infrastructure is rough, so many houses and buildings are demolished that some people have described like "teeth in a Jack-O-Lantern". Things in Buffalo have been looking up lately, but this area has a large hole to climb out of. its new communities are African-American and many newcomers from Bengladesh, Pakistan, Africa and the MIddle East. It's formerly Germanic character has given way to new sounds and smells, routines etc....
The cemetery is bound on three sides by a railroad track, a magnificent old industrial building and a (not so magnificent) modern prefab building used for some local construction business. I have looked for signs of a temple - I am assuming there was one nearby somewhere, possibly on Doat Street or one of the many maze-like side streets. I was told there was one there...long ago but it was gone long long ago. Just a few years ago a Greek or Russian Orthodox church, that was formerly a Jewish Temple was demolished on Jefferson Ave. It had a big onion dome on the top and was one of the every few surviving temples in Buffalo. I suppose the point is that these facets of history are rare and important and should be preserved.
Someone I met, told me that his son, for a Boy Scout project cleaned and weeded the cemetery, reset the stones, trimmed the trees etc.... I believe he said they also documented all the headstones and photographed them. I do not know who maintains it now, but there is evidence of looting (missing bronze medallions from stones) and headstones flopped over.
It is bound on the south side by a large Christian cememtery (Concordia cemetery). It is separated by a rusty chain-link fence - And I find it strange and downright silly that even in death we have to have a fence that keeps "us" in here and "them" over there.
I find these places to be places of introspection and thought. To me these are remnants of communities that once lived here, and it shows the flux of people that come and go and reiterates that what a place is today is not what it always was and will not always be. The economic fortunes of the East Side, battered by loss of industrialization and racism is not doomed to be that way forever.
S.Berillo è un antico e fatiscente quartiere nel centro della città, ed è lo storico quartiere della prostituzione. Oggi è popolato da "professioniste" extracomunitarie e dei paesi dell'Est europeo, ma vi si trovano ancora abitanti anziane che sono una fonte di informazioni storiche sui trascorsi fasti del quartiere.

Negativo con velo a causa di un errore di preparazione del Caffenol (25g. di soda anziché 15).
Ma forse - dato anche il soggetto - non tutto il male vien per nuocere.
Because a mistake in calculations the amount of soda in mixing Caffenol was 25 g instead of 15 g, This resulted in heavy fogging. The right recipe should have been 25g instant coffee + 15 g anhydrous soda + 7.5 g vitamin C for 600 ml of solution

I ran out of the house and traveled to one of my favorite spots upon seeing this sunset. It's close by and easy to get to.
In my haste I forgot to get out of Shutter Priority mode. I dutifully shot 5 brackets at what I thought was -2/-1/0/+1/+2 EV and then went home because the magic was gone.
When I was processing the pictures in Photomatix, I realized something was wrong. It kept telling me there were exposures with the same EV. How could this be?
The camera was changing aperture to get the brackets and keeping shutter speed constant. I was shooting 1 second photos with different apertures and simply ran out of apertures the lens could go to. In the end, I had 3 photos that were different out of 5, bracketed at f/5.6, f/9 and f/13.
Needless to say, everyone, including me, will tell you this is a recipe for disaster. Changing aperture changes depth of field. You should be changing shutter speed.
But, in the end, you have to look at the photos. This is a magical shot of a blue and purple sky after sunset with a calm river and wonderfully lit building.

This is the scene shortly before the guy at the top of the picture decompressed himself by floating to the surface. Eventually the divemaster got him back down and gave him the "We've just screwed up" massage.
I have no idea what the third guy is doing, but I imagine he's part of the same shambles.
It did occur to me however that I could have played an indirect role in this. If the novice diver had seen me ascending from his depth, he may have assumed he could/should follow, not understanding that I was freediving (though the lack of a tank should have helped). However, if this were the case, it's an absurd lack of preparation and I always keep a reasonable distance from divers when I'm freediving.

Thought I like the photo, the focus is not right. But I am too tired to look a better picture.

Apesar de eu gostar desta fotografia, o foco não está no local ideal. Mas estou demasiado cansada para procurar uma imagem melhor.
ASHBURN, Va. -- It would be wrong to blame Monday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins. It would not be wrong to think he could have done more to help them win.
This wasn’t about stats: Cousins’ numbers were solid as he posted a 101.4 passer rating. But that also shows how unreliable that statistic can be, because it suggests a terrific game. That wasn’t the case as it does not factor in some missed chances.
But also keep in mind that Cousins led two scoring drives at the end of the half and the game for 10 of their 16 points. He completed nine-of-12 passes on third downs, converting five into firsts (they had five third downs where they needed at least 10 yards). Cousins didn't lift the play of others and played a rather pedestrian game, but the main issue offensively remains the running game.
Here’s a little look at his game overall:
Throw I liked: The completion to Pierre Garcon on third-and-14. For starters, the line gave him time to throw against a three-man rush. Cousins looked middle, right, middle, left and back to the middle where he saw Garcon break over the middle for a first-down catch. The throw was a little behind Garcon, but give Cousins credit for hanging in the pocket and finding him. Also liked the 23-yard gain to Garcon when Cousins hit him in stride; well-designed play cleared out the middle. There were a couple bad throws in the game, sometimes with poor footwork. But other times he kept plays alive, sliding outside or scrambling with his eyes still downfield.
Throw I almost liked: This one looked a little dangerous initially, but I credit Dallas cornerback Mo Claiborne for a good play. But Cousins nearly connected with Reed down the left seam. It was a very tight window and Reed got his hands on the ball. But Claiborne, aligned to the outside with Matt Jones in his area, cheated a little to the inside paying more attention to Reed. With Reed a favorite target, perhaps in that situation it might have been better to have a different receiving option alongside Reed, just to keep Claiborne from paying more attention to the tight end. He’s the one who knocked the ball loose.
Missed chance: This one had to bug Cousins and the coaches. On a third-and-7 in the fourth quarter, Jackson had a half-step on cornerback Brandon Carr with no safety over the top. Not sure why, but Cousins seemed to look there, but did not make the throw, instead dumping to the right for Chris Thompson and a two-yard gain, setting up a missed field goal. For those wanting more downfield throws, the Redskins did go deep on two other occasions, both incomplete, to Garcon and Jackson. Both were in one-on-one situations to the outside, and both were missed by less than a yard.
Second chance: Cousins, of course, did go back to Jackson with a perfect ball for the 28-yard touchdown. It wasn’t the same play; this time Jackson ran a go route from the No. 2 receiver position (the middle of three wideouts on the right side).Jackson released to the outside and, with the safety aligned on the left hash (where the ball had been placed), there was no help.
Missed chance, part 11: On a first-and-10 in the second quarter, Jamison Crowder was in the slot to the left. His man blitzed, leaving him solo with the safety. Crowder gains leverage and a shot was there, but Cousins threw to Jackson on that side for seven yards. They still got a field goal, but Crowder had a step.
Against tendencies: The Redskins gained 20 yards on a bootleg pass to Crowder, thanks in part to breaking tendency. They had Tom Compton at tight end and Ryan Grant at receiver. In the past two games, that has meant run on 12 of their 15 plays (and 18 out of 27 for the season), according to ESPN Stats & Information. That’s one reason both safeties were within eight yards before the snap (dropping to a single-high look afterward). Two linebackers ran with Reed as he crossed to his left, leaving a gap for Crowder, against man coverage, on the bootleg. Earlier in the half, the Redskins threw with both Grant and Compton in the game on a bootleg to the left, hitting Reed for 16 yards.
Not sure about: A third-and-17 in the first half on which Cousins looked at Reed the whole way and then threw incomplete on an out route. If Reed had caught the ball, he would have been tackled well short of a first down. On the other side, Garcon ran a deep-in and was open at the 32-yard line for a first down. Now, I don’t know if Garcon should have been part of the progression or not (not every receiver is on every play; there were three targets to the left). If not, against this coverage they might want to add him or at least peek his way.
