Vandals have broken into a railway station in Melbourne's north-east, started a train and then derailed it, "destroying everything in its path" after seemingly obtaining a key.
May go and try but I doubt very much I'll ever see those things again....
Wander often. Wonder always.
defo bummer for sure!
UH
Fast forward to 1am. I'm the kind of person that if I don't do something like crawl to the end of a pipe to see if there's an exit I will never stop wondering if there was an exit. So I found myself wondering if my things were lying somewhere in the bushes out there. It was then that it struck me how my bag had been undone allowing them to fall out.
Earlier that day I had been writing my name on a short RCP underpass under the highway when a car had pulled along the private road and gone about 10m past me before stopping and backing up. I knew I'd been seen and this is the point where in my panic, having taken the sharpie out of the frontmost pocket of my backpack to write my name, I forgot to do the pocket back up again as I sprinted along the pipe and up the embankment on the other side to hide in the bushes. I heard the man from the vehicle yelling at me to 'keep running.' The car came around via the road under a bridge under the highway a bit further along. I heard it stop on the road opposite the RCP. I was lying behind some bushes almost exactly above the RCP entrance. I heard the man get out and walk around a bit. Thankfully he didn't walk up the embankment or he probably would've seen me.
So now I had pretty much ascertained from what point my things had the chance to fall out and seeing as sleep was evading me I got my bike out and proceeded to cycle back to the gate leading to the private road. Locking my bike to a tree a bit off the road I walked down the road to the RCP underpass. First checking the RCP itself and failing to find anything. Then, without much difficult due to all the broken bushes, retraced my steps up the embankment to where I had been hiding. Nothing. My torch played out up the embankment as I followed the trail I'd taken. Then I smiled. It felt wonderful. There, lying in the dirt I first saw my 2 spare sets of rechargeable batteries in their colorful 4 pack cases and then 30cm down the hill I saw my keys shining in the dirt.
And everyone lived happily ever after.

Try the following:sneakes_ wrote:Got a crappy UV filter stuck on my lens. Arghghghghghgh. Camera related things never just seem to 'work' haha.
* To get a bit of leverage borrow or buy another UV filter and screw it on top. Then try screw both off.
* Put cloth over the filter and grip it tightly then unscrew.
* Put some water where the gap is and unscrew. That should lubricate the thread a bit.

I had a Nikon polariser that always used to stick. I highly recommend these http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/8 ... h_Set.html you can probably get them even cheaper on eBay.sneakes_ wrote:Got a crappy UV filter stuck on my lens. Arghghghghghgh.

I wouldn't risk introducing any types of liquids or grease near the front element of a lens. I've even heard crazy ideas like putting the lens in the freezer. Just get these. They work a treat and you can find them for $2
