The Studebaker Lark is a compact car which was produced by Studebaker from 1959 to 1966. From its introduction in early 1959 until 1962, the Lark was a product of the Studebaker-Packard Corporation.
The small size of the Black Hills Central's Baldwin 2-6-6-2 tank locomotives--38 foot wheelbase-- can really be seen from above--in this aerial view, #108 has topped the steep initial climb out of Hill City and is now winding between the hills on a light downgrade before the drop into Keystone.

strobist info : 2 speelihgt behind the model, left n right for side light. 1 speedlight on my back upper right(with umbrella octagon softbox). and 1 more speedlight with square softbox on my below left.
I initially wanted to have a few small cars that would fit into an autorack, similar to the Vert-A-Pac. The train car didn't work out, but the regular cars did. I will now use them for my LUG's city layout.
What a moment!

It started with the LC-A, that I got in a 2nd hand shop in Budapest 2 years ago, I took it to test it the next days on my way by train across Bulgaria/Romania to Istambul, and I finally figured out that P&S were the way to travel without worries. always ready, and in a simple pocket. SET
Eventually the lc-a fell and so I could try to fix the frame counter it had to get a new dress.
Also, missing some shots because of the zone focus it was not ideal, so I started looking for some cheep AF ones, and they had to be as pocketable as the lc-a, on that area the mju II is the winner.
I don't think this collection will grow much more, unless I stumble upon some expensive models or so, for very cheap (ricohs gr, minolta TC-1 etc...) I'm happy with these ones for now, let's see what comes next.
(1 week after)
I just came back from the fleamarket with some more P&S cameras, Mju I (another),
Ricoh FF70(it's a DOA after all), Fuji HD-M, Konica EU-min and a Porst 135AE
#2 UPDATE
additions : Olympus XA2, Ricoh FF-1, Leica C2-zoom, Nikon AF600, Rollei 35B
I was given a box of old compact digital cameras to see if I could resuscitate any of them. This one is awaiting a battery and further testing. Kodak made a ba-jillion types of early digital cameras. They tried everything to satisfy a fickle marketplace. What they DID succeed in doing (at least for this guy) was to make wonderfully colorful cameras. We could use more of that these days. Lots more. IMHO.
A nearby compact blue dwarf galaxy, NGC 5253 was imaged with Hubble's High Resolution Channel (HRC) on the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) to produce this image. A lot of hydrogen gas is present here and is most evident in the narrowband H-alpha filter which appears here in vivid reddish magenta. Numerous young, massive star clusters full of massive stars are visible as mottled, bright, blueish patches.
This is a very close look at the nucleus and star-forming region of the galaxy. Just enough detail is revealed for me to guess at what I'm looking at, and yet not quite enough for me to feel sure. One of the bright patches near the center is rounder and slightly yellower, causing me to suspect it is an old globular cluster. What is interesting to me is that some of the bluer clusters visually appear to have comparable diameters and densities. Pretty impressive. I suspect they contain fewer but brighter, more massive stars.
I am fond of these old ACS/HRC datasets because they are comparatively rare since the HRC stopped functioning in June 2006 and never came back online even after the servicing mission which repaired the rest of the ACS. The observations comprising this image were acquired five months prior in February 2006.
Glancing at the abstract for this paper, we might expect this to one day be observed by the James Webb Space Telescope.
Data primarily came from the following Proposal: Sizes, Shapes, and SEDs: Searching for Mass Segregation in the Super Star Clusters of Nearby Starburst Galaxies
Note: Some lower resolution ACS/WFC data from LEGUS (Proposal 10765) was used to fill in the missing data where the occulting finger was. Some older WFPC2 F656N data from Proposal 6524 was used to slightly enhance the ACS/HRC F656N data.
Red: ACS/HRC F814W + ACS/HRC F656N
Green: ACS/HRC F550M
Blue: ACS/HRC F435W + ACS/HRC F330W

A very basic Compact. Top spotting points if you see one of these now.

Not many if any places to see a pair of SD35's running now days in the US, here GLC 383 and 384 work the interchange with the Ann Arbor RR at Osmer siding just north of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Nice compact packages these SD35's seen from above, if only EMD had cataloged an SD30, that would have been a pretty swell looking unit - August 23, 2024.

Monument Valley (or as the Navajos call it Tseí Biií Ndzisgaii) conjures up images of iconic western films namely because it was made famous by Hollywood director John Ford's films such as "Stagecoach" and "The Searchers" and his mainstay actor John Wayne. Even if you have never ventured to Monument Valley you would instantly recognize it due to the numerous movies, television commercials, music videos and print advertisements that have used this Navajo Tribal Park as a background. As a result, it is difficult to come away with some great photographs without having it be a cliche.
I always dreamed of making a pilgrimage to Monument Valley because I am a huge fan of the Western genre. Also, from a photographic point of view it is the apex symbol of the American Southwest.
Since this is a Navajo Tribal Park access is limited to a 17-mile self-drive circuit. The road is a bit rough in some areas but I drove it over the course of two days with a small compact rental car with ice in some places. My recommendation would be to take a guided tour to get an overview of the park and then come back later to do the valley drive to shoot in the best light. I stayed at Goulding's Lodge just outside the park boundary. It's a little more expensive than accommodations in Mexican Hat or Kayenta but every room has a private balcony with superb views of the valley.
I captured this photo with my amazing Canon Powershot G9 compact camera! It was very windy that day but I knew there was going to be a spectacular moonrise that evening. I was shooting with my Canon 5D on a tripod but the wind was kicking up so much that I called it quits and went back to my car. Once inside I saw this image and quickly grabbed the G9 and rolled down my window to capture this moment in time.
Happy Travels!
