We get very little snow in NC. I often forget to set my camera to the "little snow man" before I go out shooting. And y'all wonder how I achieve such professional results!

A radical approach to recording this scene. A conscious decision to edit this picture in a slightly Avant-garde style in which i used the low winter sun to create a silhouette of the two Class 66 locomotives crossing Ribblehead Viaduct. The subtle glints on the locos really caught my eye which led me to include the powerful sun rather than exclude it.

Canon EOS 5D Mk II announced in September 2008, did not reach the shops in large numbers until early 2009. It was an improvement on the previous 5D with advanced image handling from the DIGIC-4 processor, an extended ASA range, a selection of Raw modes, and an increased 21.1 megapixel CMOS sensor.
This was the first Canon SLR to offer video at full HD, although continuous autofocus had to wait a few years to mature.
It is a Full Frame camera, meaning that the sensor matches a 35mm film frame, 24x36mm, allowing established lenses to be used.
The EF lens mount (EF = Electro-Focus) dates from 1987 with improved lens designs introduced to take advantage of the greater resolution offered by digital sensors.
The camera uses the Compact Flash system to save data which might seem antiquated by today's micro SD standard, but is still capable of storing plenty of photos or video with media remaining available in 2022.
The 5D Mk II was used by professional film producers, including the BBC Grand Prix Snooker coverage in September, 2009. The Road to Coronation Street, broadcast by BBC Four on 16 September 2010, was the first UK television drama to be shot with the Canon 5D Mk II throughout. The drama's director of photography, Timothy Palmer, was so impressed that he used the camera on the seventh series of the BBC One drama Hustle.
With the passage of time, photographers have recognised the value of the 5D Mk II not only as a milestone in camera design but also as a continuing source of quality photography. Its dynamic range matches today's sensors; its colour rendition and contrast are still worthy.
This instance dates from April 2011. I purchased it in June, 2022 from a professional studio photographer in Edinburgh.
Canon EF 24-105mm Æ’/4 L IS USM Zoom Lens introduced in 2005, is one of Canon's premium lenses. It is renowned for its clarity and absence of aberrations. While it may not match the sharpness of the 40mm Æ’/2.8 pancake, it is a creditable contender. All zoom lenses suffer due to the number of elements and their movement to achieve the zoom. This model has 18 elements in 13 groups. The elements in prime lenses are fixed, sometimes cemented together, with less opportunity for internal reflections and diffraction.
The (USM = UltraSonic Motor) autofocus is smooth, responsive, and quiet. The image stabilisation gives up to three stops of confidence, meaning that for a shot which would be OK handheld at 1/30s, 1/8s is possible.
This lens is often paired with Canon's range of full frame cameras, proving popular and well sought after since its inception.
The sometimes idiosyncratic Ken Rockwell said of this lens, "This is Canon's highest performance professional midrange zoom. (It) has great optics and works extremely well. My biggest whine is that the zoom ring takes a lot of effort." It seems that Mr. Rockwell wasn't well lubricated.
I purchased this lens from Cash Converters, Bethnel Green, in June, 2022.

Two Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II fighter jets have successfully landed on board HMS Queen Elizabeth for the first time, laying the foundations for the next 50 years of fixed wing aviation in support of the UK’s Carrier Strike Capability.
Royal Navy Commander, Nathan Gray, 41, made history by being the first to land on board HMS Queen Elizabeth, carefully maneuvering his stealth jet onto the thermal coated deck. He was followed by Royal Navy Squadron Leader Andy Edgell, RAF, both of whom are test pilots, operating with the Integrated Test Force (ITF) based at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland.
Shortly afterwards, once a deck inspection has been conducted and the all-clear given, Cmdr Gray became the first pilot to take off using the ship’s ski-ramp.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather, stealth, fifth-generation, multirole combat aircraft, designed for ground-attack and air-superiority missions. It is built by Lockheed Martin and many subcontractors, including Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney, and BAE Systems.
The F-35 has three main models: the conventional takeoff and landing F-35A (CTOL), the short take-off and vertical-landing F-35B (STOVL), and the catapult-assisted take-off but arrested recovery, carrier-based F-35C (CATOBAR). The F-35 descends from the Lockheed Martin X-35, the design that was awarded the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program over the competing Boeing X-32. The official Lightning II name has proven deeply unpopular and USAF pilots have nicknamed it Panther, instead.
The United States principally funds F-35 development, with additional funding from other NATO members and close U.S. allies, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Canada, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and formerly Turkey. These funders generally receive subcontracts to manufacture components for the aircraft; for example, Turkey was the sole supplier of several F-35 parts until its removal from the program in July 2019. Several other countries have ordered, or are considering ordering, the aircraft.
As the largest and most expensive military program ever, the F-35 became the subject of much scrutiny and criticism in the U.S. and in other countries. In 2013 and 2014, critics argued that the plane was "plagued with design flaws", with many blaming the procurement process in which Lockheed was allowed "to design, test, and produce the F-35 all at the same time," instead of identifying and fixing "defects before firing up its production line". By 2014, the program was "$163 billion over budget [and] seven years behind schedule". Critics also contend that the program's high sunk costs and political momentum make it "too big to kill".
The F-35 first flew on 15 December 2006. In July 2015, the United States Marines declared its first squadron of F-35B fighters ready for deployment. However, the DOD-based durability testing indicated the service life of early-production F-35B aircraft is well under the expected 8,000 flight hours, and may be as low as 2,100 flight hours. Lot 9 and later aircraft include design changes but service life testing has yet to occur. The U.S. Air Force declared its first squadron of F-35As ready for deployment in August 2016. The U.S. Navy declared its first F-35Cs ready in February 2019. In 2018, the F-35 made its combat debut with the Israeli Air Force.
The U.S. stated plan is to buy 2,663 F-35s, which will provide the bulk of the crewed tactical airpower of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps in coming decades. Deliveries of the F-35 for the U.S. military are scheduled until 2037 with a projected service life up to 2070.
Development
F-35 development started in 1992 with the origins of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program and was to culminate in full production by 2018. The X-35 first flew on 24 October 2000 and the F-35A on 15 December 2006.
The F-35 was developed to replace most US fighter jets with the variants of a single design that would be common to all branches of the military. It was developed in co-operation with a number of foreign partners, and, unlike the F-22 Raptor, intended to be available for export. Three variants were designed: the F-35A (CTOL), the F-35B (STOVL), and the F-35C (CATOBAR). Despite being intended to share most of their parts to reduce costs and improve maintenance logistics, by 2017, the effective commonality was only 20%. The program received considerable criticism for cost overruns during development and for the total projected cost of the program over the lifetime of the jets.
By 2017, the program was expected to cost $406.5 billion over its lifetime (i.e. until 2070) for acquisition of the jets, and an additional $1.1 trillion for operations and maintenance. A number of design deficiencies were alleged, such as: carrying a small internal payload; performance inferior to the aircraft being replaced, particularly the F-16; lack of safety in relying on a single engine; and flaws such as the vulnerability of the fuel tank to fire and the propensity for transonic roll-off (wing drop). The possible obsolescence of stealth technology was also criticized.
Design
Overview
Although several experimental designs have been developed since the 1960s, such as the unsuccessful Rockwell XFV-12, the F-35B is to be the first operational supersonic STOVL stealth fighter. The single-engine F-35 resembles the larger twin-engined Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, drawing design elements from it. The exhaust duct design was inspired by the General Dynamics Model 200, proposed for a 1972 supersonic VTOL fighter requirement for the Sea Control Ship.
Lockheed Martin has suggested that the F-35 could replace the USAF's F-15C/D fighters in the air-superiority role and the F-15E Strike Eagle in the ground-attack role. It has also stated the F-35 is intended to have close- and long-range air-to-air capability second only to that of the F-22 Raptor, and that the F-35 has an advantage over the F-22 in basing flexibility and possesses "advanced sensors and information fusion".
Testifying before the House Appropriations Committee on 25 March 2009, acquisition deputy to the assistant secretary of the Air Force, Lt. Gen. Mark D. "Shack" Shackelford, stated that the F-35 is designed to be America's "premier surface-to-air missile killer, and is uniquely equipped for this mission with cutting-edge processing power, synthetic aperture radar integration techniques, and advanced target recognition".
Improvements
Ostensible improvements over past-generation fighter aircraft include:
Durable, low-maintenance stealth technology, using structural fiber mat instead of the high-maintenance coatings of legacy stealth platforms
Integrated avionics and sensor fusion that combine information from off- and on-board sensors to increase the pilot's situational awareness and improve target identification and weapon delivery, and to relay information quickly to other command and control (C2) nodes
High-speed data networking including IEEE 1394b and Fibre Channel (Fibre Channel is also used on Boeing's Super Hornet.
The Autonomic Logistics Global Sustainment, Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS), and Computerized maintenance management system to help ensure the aircraft can remain operational with minimal maintenance manpower The Pentagon has moved to open up the competitive bidding by other companies. This was after Lockheed Martin stated that instead of costing 20% less than the F-16 per flight hour, the F-35 would actually cost 12% more. Though the ALGS is intended to reduce maintenance costs, the company disagrees with including the cost of this system in the aircraft ownership calculations. The USMC has implemented a workaround for a cyber vulnerability in the system. The ALIS system currently requires a shipping-container load of servers to run, but Lockheed is working on a more portable version to support the Marines' expeditionary operations.
Electro-hydrostatic actuators run by a power-by-wire flight-control system
A modern and updated flight simulator, which may be used for a greater fraction of pilot training to reduce the costly flight hours of the actual aircraft
Lightweight, powerful lithium-ion batteries to provide power to run the control surfaces in an emergency
Structural composites in the F-35 are 35% of the airframe weight (up from 25% in the F-22). The majority of these are bismaleimide and composite epoxy materials. The F-35 will be the first mass-produced aircraft to include structural nanocomposites, namely carbon nanotube-reinforced epoxy. Experience of the F-22's problems with corrosion led to the F-35 using a gap filler that causes less galvanic corrosion to the airframe's skin, designed with fewer gaps requiring filler and implementing better drainage. The relatively short 35-foot wingspan of the A and B variants is set by the F-35B's requirement to fit inside the Navy's current amphibious assault ship parking area and elevators; the F-35C's longer wing is considered to be more fuel efficient.
Costs
A U.S. Navy study found that the F-35 will cost 30 to 40% more to maintain than current jet fighters, not accounting for inflation over the F-35's operational lifetime. A Pentagon study concluded a $1 trillion maintenance cost for the entire fleet over its lifespan, not accounting for inflation. The F-35 program office found that as of January 2014, costs for the F-35 fleet over a 53-year lifecycle was $857 billion. Costs for the fighter have been dropping and accounted for the 22 percent life cycle drop since 2010. Lockheed stated that by 2019, pricing for the fifth-generation aircraft will be less than fourth-generation fighters. An F-35A in 2019 is expected to cost $85 million per unit complete with engines and full mission systems, inflation adjusted from $75 million in December 2013.
very pleased to blow my trumpet about being interviewed by Advanced photographer magazine June issue, the piece is on Urban life with images that I have taken in London, detailing a potted photographic history about me my family and how I visualise and come to process my shots, I,m really pleased with how the article came out, the reproduction of the images and more than chuffed to have been able to contribute 8 pages.
many thanks to Will Cheung and Lynne Maxwell for their interest......with special thanks also to Matty.

Wonder Full at Marina Bay Sands.
Experience Southeast Asia's largest light and water show.
The great thing about the light and sound show at Marina Bay is that it is visible from both sides of the water. If you are standing in front of the hotel looking towards the city you can hear the music and see the projected images on the water fountains. From the city side looking towards the hotel you see not only the water fountains but also a series of lasers which light up Marina Bay Sands and the ArtScience Museum. Easily the most technologically advanced light and sound show in Singapore; I much preferred the view from the hotel. Here, bubble machines create a shimmering cloud above your head and you can see the impressive images of Singaporean children projected onto the wall of water. The music is highly emotive and includes ‘It’s a wonderful world’ by Louis Armstrong.

I'll be bringing my own Advanced Heroica rules and scenarios to BrickWorld Chicago 2012 and I might play it with a few people if the interest is there. There's no guarantee that it will happen, but anyone who's interested can reply here to let me know. Please read the rest of this description first before replying, as it's important stuff to know...
My rules are still a work-in-progress, but they're pretty robust already and everyone who has played so far has enjoyed it. I incorporated most of the original rules and added a lot of other stuff, inspired by other board games and a little D&D. Some of the ideas were developed in conjunction with a friend of mine who's a published game designer.
There's no need for players to know the regular Heroica rules in advance, but general board-gaming experience would help. If you have played Heroica out of the box and think the rules are way too simplistic, you might like my rules.
The game is meant to be played cooperatively with a GM (me) running the show and controlling monsters. Don't get involved if you don't want to cooperate.
The scenario pictured above can take 4-6 hours to play to completion (there's a lot more to it than what you can see in this photo). It can easily be split up and played over multiple sessions. I also have another, shorter scenario with less bells and whistles.
Depending on how many people actually reply to this, it's possible that there will be too many interested people to participate. Spectating would be ok too.
Replying here does not guarantee you the opportunity to play. I'll be deciding who plays and who doesn't, and will probably favor people I know (because I've met you or because I know you by reputation).
