Soo eastbound freight arrives passing depot/division office behind FP7, F7b, SD40, F7 (502A-502C-754-2202A.) As K-Mad said, not exactly the Point I moved to, almost 12 years later, but actually the differences were minor. I think the Soo Line enamel "dollar sign" logo was gone; the bigger changes were long after that as WC, and then CN, made new arrangements to the track. The depot became the operational HQ for Wisconsin Central (also known for a time as "Galactic Headquarters.") Eventually, the new nest for "Enenquack" was only a couple blocks to the right of the depot. It was - and is - a good town.
Down the tracks east of the depot, the Soo roundhouse kept a gathering of road power, awaiting servicing and/or the next assignment.

Not the greatest of images but it was taken this morning at Fingal Head in NSW.
First of all Happy New Year's.
I thought I would contemplate on the 2009 that has passed and some of the many things I've learned along the way.
It certainly was an eye opening year both artistically and personally. I struggled a lot to find a place that I'm happy with on my work, and that ongoing struggle continues at every shoot. Hopefully I might find some clarity this year!
Things I've learned about Photography in general:
- Sometimes you have to be a little arrogant.
- Try not to be ignorant of your surroundings, and you'll find things you don't normally see. A skill, that I think, will take a lifetime to learn.
- Try and be respectful of everyone's work, not matter how early a beginner they might be, you might see something you didn't yourself.
- Most of all, Collaborate. 90% of the shots in my stream probably wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for other photographers ideas and input.
Some general Landscape Photography tips:
- Scout a location before hand if possible. Try and find as many shots and angles as possible. This will make you more comfortable. But, be aware that you may change on the fly as the conditions change and the sky does all sorts of exciting things.
- Shooting before or after stormy weather is a often a good bet. You'll get some great light and often very interesting clouds.
- Stormy weather with showers and big rain clouds about can often lead to rainbows. I've found around 2 - 1.5 hours before sunset is a great time for this. Head to the beach too, rainbows appear in the opposite sky (sunrise sky if a sunset etc).
- Always look behind you.
- High cloud is often what you are looking for, for some nice colour. A gap on the horizon where the sun is rising and setting often sets off the whole sky. Watch the clouds during the day if you get a chance. A nice white half thick layer will provide some nice colour if it sticks around to sunset.
- f/11 is heaven. I saw this somewhere and have since stuck with f/8 - f/11 for most of my images. This ensures a decent depth of a field and everything in focus. f/8 - f/11 is also most often the sharpest point on most lenses
- I never used to shoot Manual. Now I do, 90% of the time. Having full control is what I greatly prefer now. Try it sometime.
- When shooting Seascapes, watch where the water goes and travels - this will add interest to your shot and provide natural lines.
- Sometimes adding in a silhouette of a person will complete a scene. Try it sometime if you feel a shot is missing something. Photographers poised make good models!
Things I want to learn in 2010:
- Build a light painting setup and begin properly exploring this genre.
- Start a portable studio and do some portrait and flash practice.
- Do more prop work on Landscape shots.
- Plan bigger trips, longer trips further away from Brisbane.
- Read more books and learn more technical camera information (I've been putting this off for far too long).
Here's some of my favourite photographers from 2009 (in no particular order). Please check out their streams, they have far too many great shots to list here!:
Thanks to EVERYONE for all the kind words in 2009 - it makes everything worthwhile.
Processing
Clarity, more gradient in the sky, sharpening, landscape calibration, recovery, white balance.

Somebody seams to always walk into my photos, I guess it's my own fault, after all I'm using a wide lens ;) It's always great to see the public out and about this early, I counted a dozen people taking photos this morning.

About January
January is the first month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days. The first day of the month is known as New Year's Day. It is, on average, the coldest month of the year within most of the Northern Hemisphere and the warmest month of the year within most of the Southern Hemisphere.
first day of the new year, we took a walk up to Thomas Park/Dorchester Heights to have this wonderful view of Boston skyline.

We are already in 2018 and hope the 1st January brought aspiration, strength, and determination of fresh start. Kudos to these brave heart people who took the steps to be out of their comfort zone and plunge in the ice-cold water. These are the documentation of Vancouver's 98th annual Polar bear swim.

Dawn of a new year on the meadows, still sodden from recent rains. My first photo of a new year, on the first day of the new year.
Happy New Year to each and every one of you. Had a great 2013 here on Flickr (apart from when they decided to muck around with the site)
Really pushed myself with my Photography in 2013 and with a total view count for the year finishing on 205,696 I couldn't be more pleased.
So here's to 2014 and I hope to make an even bigger splash this year!!! Happy Shooting folks and I look forward to seeing all your work as the year progresses!!!

So what's your resolution(s) for the new year? As for mine, I never make any! :D The following quote, I guess, is perfect for me...
"I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me." ~Anaïs Nin

The fireworks going off around the London Eye , as seen from the warmth of my bedroom ! All uploaded within 25mins !

After all the fireworks had finished and my children were finally in bed, (fast asleep) I set up my Canon EOS 350D on the tripod in the bedroom and attempted to shoot the Folly Tower in Pontypool - it was probably about 1:00am. It was a little challenging to get this shot the way I wanted with my limited choice of lenses and the fact that the tower itself is about a mile away from my house on the other side of the valley - but here it is. The Folley is normally not lit, but they always light it for the New Year and this was a shot I rarely get the chance to shoot, given that there's normally no snow on the ground for New Years - and as it's Wales it's either foggy or raining!
I've wanted to do a project 365 for a while now, so decided to start with this shot in sepia - my favourite. I must be scared of colour, as sepia is always my preferred medium. I'm hoping that by starting this project, I will be able to advance into shooting more vibrantly, using more colours in my photostream! But for now, I'll start with the familiar!
Constructive Criticism ALWAYS welcome!
Oh, and a Happy New Year to you all!
As we enter 2011, I've decided to attempt a 365 days project. I'm hoping it will spur my creativity along.
I'll attempt to post an image a day for a year, which has been either taken or processed on that day.
Today's image is a cheat, because it was taken the week before Christmas. I processed and textured it this evening out of desperation to get this project off the ground. Anyway, it is symbolic of the unusual date, give or take an inch or so here and there. x
