Hydrangea macrophylla , commonly called big leaf hydrangea, is a deciduous shrub with a rounded habit that, in the St. Louis area, typically grows 3-6' tall and as wide unless damaged by harsh winters or pruned smaller. It generally features serrate, obovate to elliptic, dark green leaves (4-8” long) and large clusters of long-blooming summer flowers in either lacecap form (flattened flower clusters of small fertile florets with scattered showy sterile florets often forming a marginal ring) or mophead form (globose flower clusters of mostly showy sterile florets).

Photography information: All of the images in this database were captured with the Macropod.
The Macropod is a rigid, portable photomacrography system, which allows the user to make razor sharp, fully focused photographs of small sized specimens at 18 to 26-megapixel resolution. It overcomes the extreme Depth of Field (DOF) limitations inherent in optics designed to image smaller specimens. Normally, lenses designed for macro will only render a very small fraction of the depth of targeted specimen in sharp focus at any one exposure. The Macropod allows the user to select and make multiple exposures in precise increments along the Z-axis (depth) such that each exposure’s area of sharp focus overlaps with the previous and next exposure. These source images are then transferred to a computer and merged by an image-stacking program. Zerene Stacker is used to find and stitch together only the focused pixels from each exposure into one image. The Macropod integrates industry-leading components in a novel and elegant way to achieve these results.

Just before the vicious dog decided that I look bad in my pants I took some cool shots that night out with my friend, at least in my opinion. However these are my first attempts in astrophotography, my plan is to progress further with more opportunities ahead. (New lens are quite good for the purpose - Tokina ATX 11-20 f2.8)
With the Kelloggs cereal factory looming over them, VL351 and DL47 lead T171 trip train out of Botany Yard, bound for Sandown. At Sandown the remaining empty wagons will be loaded with empty containers, the locos will draw the train clear of the yard and wait for T185 to shunt and load with empty containers before the two rakes would combine to form 1877 to Dubbo.
Fast forward to present day. Sandown yard closed in mid 2010. Patrick PortLink shortly after wound up their NSW operations completely. The DL Class now see only sporadic use with owner Pacific National opting to store the bulk of the class in favour of more modern motive power. The Dubbo freight is now operated using modern C44aci locomotives owned by Fletchers International Exports and crewed by SSR.
I reckon that this is the closest thing that Sydney has to the "Northern Lights". This morning some clouds came in from the ocean, and they were lit up from the lights of Port Botany.... Really made the sky look strange.
Roses have been cultivated for centuries for their luscious perfection.
I photographed this rose to emphasize the romantic spirals at the core of the flower.
This was taken at Allan gardens here in Toronto , I'm a little out of sorts the last couple of days with the flu so if I'm a little slower than usual I apologize .
