Low morning sun highlights (former) Roberval & Saguenay C420 41 which was, and probably remains, parked in Delaware Lackawanna's dead-line at South Scranton. From this angle it almost appears in better shape than it is, and I assume this unit has been used as a parts donor for some time now. This C420 began life as Long Island Railroad 211, part of the second group of C420s delivered to LIRR in 1964. These units were given the classification of L-1 by the LIRR, and all were built as "Phase 1" C420s. Several features unique to LIRR are still intact on this locomotive, including the air horn bracket on the side of the long hood and the large V-shaped plow. Interestingly, this C420 and an M636 acquired from the WNY&P both wear the number 41 while stored on the DL. Neither unit is currently in service.

Often hard to get a scale of photographs of ice caves but this was the first time I have been in an ice cave in Iceland. It was a low ceiling height about 4 to 5 feet {glad of the hard hat and headlamp} with a fast flowing stream rushing through creating a lot of noise. You left your camera bag outside and went in with minimum camera kit to take shots.
The image here is from 5 bracketed shots at 1 EV apart merged in LightRoom. Settings were f/10, focal length 14mm, 1/10 shutter and ISO 400. I did slip in the stream when getting out and the tripod and my left arm disappeared under the icy cold water. Lucky the camera was round my neck and not still on the tripod head !!
{Please note we were on a guided trip by a very experienced Icelandic guide, kitted out with harnesses, crampons, hard hats etc. and driven in part way in a large 4x4 off road vehicle with tyre pressure adjustments while in transit. Great experience. But quite essential in terms of having a safe day.}

Oggi 1° MAGGIO
Oggi l’1 maggio, si celebra la Festa dei lavoratori. Nonostante il virus COVID ha gettato ombre anche sul lavoro, dobbiamo ricordare le battaglie operaie combattute a metà del 1800 per la conquista di diritti e sicurezza sul luogo di lavoro, durante la Seconda rivoluzione industriale, negli Usa e in Europa. La festività del primo maggio in Europa venne ufficializzata nel 1889 a Parigi dai delegati socialisti della Seconda Internazionale, in ricordo dei fatti avvenuti a Chicago qualche anno prima, mentre in Italia venne istituita ufficialmente nel 1891.

Sempre legata a questa data c’è la strage di Portella della Ginestra, avvenuta nel 1947 in provincia di Palermo.
Playing around with the Sony A7III and Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens. Some experiences with this combo shared here:
Going full frame... Well, partly...
This coming Monday's Macro theme is cloth ... so I started thinking about some interesting ways to capture some cloths. I settled on getting the macro of the cloth in some sewing action.
This of course meant I would have to engage Mrs. Krach. First off this required me to enter her sewing room which meant I needed to get a 'Permit" to enter the space.
Do not want to mention the Red Tape needed to actually touch the new sewing machine ...
I then searched through some of the fabrics laying about, and this one with the blue cloth and sequins I imagined would make for some nice reflections and bokeh.
Given all the preparatory permits and permissions needed to set this up, I took a bunch of close in compositions at various apertures to play with depth of field. So will posting some variations to see which folks like the most before submitting the final one to the Macro Monday group coming up.
This capture here was taken with the tight composition at true 1:1 focal length, and at f/8 to get some bokeh patterns in the cloth.
Loch Quoich Dam, Shearer and Annand, 1955, engineers, Sir William Halcrow and Partners The largest of its kind when built for the North of Scotland Hydro Electric Board, at 12 5 ft high and 1,050 ft long. Filled with earth, reinforced with concrete and faced with natural stone, it raised the loch by 100 ft and increased its surface from 3 to 7 square miles. Before the widespread clearances of the 1780s, the shores of Loch Quoich were fringed with settlements and good grazing land. Today, broken drovers¿ tracks and a lonely march of pylons carrying power for Glenelg and Skye are the principal features of the empty, rock-scarred landscape. Edwin Landseer was among many fashionable sportsmen who came here in the 19th century, and his best known paintings were inspired by the red deer of Glen Quoich. The flooding of Loch Quoich destroyed Glenquoich Lodge, built for Edward Ellice MP (Senr) in 1838; extended by Alexander Ross c.1900 for Lord Burton of Dochfour (a tenant from 1873-1905, who poured money into the place). Situated near the mouth of Allt Coire Peitireach, it started life fairly spartan, `furnished in the simplest manner, with cane-bottomed chairs and iron bedsteads¿, but became one of the most fashionable shooting lodges of its day.
