Cael Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2.8. Slowerr and less appreciated Zeiss 35mm lens but, it is one of my favs.
As 2013 ends ... a new beginning is upon us ...
Oh hell - just enjoy every dam day I say. This one was one that I got to enjoy with my daughter:

... who is also a shutter bug - so it was even that much more special.
Here's to many more with her in 2014 and beyond.

A post and run today, I will be out for the afternoon.
'In The Beginning...' was one of those magical moments where everything just....kind of came together at once!
I was wanting to go angelic for this one; inspired by Faux Tales' song: Prologue.
And I also want to give a shout out to Be My Mannequin? Pose Store for consistently having exactly what I need! And since I was going angel, I knew exactly what that would be: "The Die Is Cast," a single, unisex hovering pose that comes with Lucifer's Sword prop (which you can see in the picture!)

Nothing fancy, just nice seeing the fresh greens that are starting to venture out of the ground.
Thank you for taking a closer look and for your faves, invitations, comments and awards!

With temperatures beginning to cool down right on cue here in September, my mind starts going towards Fall foliage railroad photography. I have a few vacation days set aside next month for just that, but this month is a nice time to take a look back at past ventures. Sure, I could share something a little more contemporary like last year's peak foliage-filled chase of Pan Am's OCS, but you all probably saw enough of that from others last year (so I'll wait at least a few years before sharing more from that chase).
So, tonight we turn the calendar back to October 13, 2010. The D&H between Schenectady and Binghamton has always been a favorite Fall destination of mine, oftentimes featuring great foliage. When I headed down the D&H early that morning, I figured I'd get something like Train 931, whose black NS engines would contrast nicely with the foliage. As I drove south through Richmondville and heard nearby MOW call the dispatcher for a train lineup, I was floored when I heard that the "Super Local"--Train 515--was coming north with none other than D&H GP38-2 #7312 leading! Though the foliage wasn't as great as I had hoped it would be, how could you go wrong with a D&H lightning stripe leading a northbound in perfect, early morning sun?
Here, the train passes MP502 in Duanesburg, NY as it approaches the Youngs Road crossing. I certainly won't be able to repeat this this Fall, but that's okay. And, in case you're wondering, I was by myself at every spot this morning--something that's unfathomable in today's world of smart phones and instant communication. Boy do I miss "just showing up" and surprises like these!
Squirrel often scurry about under my bird feeder, looking for fallen seeds. This one is making sure I'm benevolent before beginning his search.
