Yesterday I went to the park to see if I could capture a few 'early signs of spring'. This Robin wasn't to shy and posed for me at a few different spots. I processed this one because the wind took some of the feathers on the birds head and turned it into a crest.. Making this a crested robin for a short moment 😊.
Since I'm still in the proces of testing me new G9II with the 100-400, I think this is one of the examples showing the sharpness of the 'Panaleica' being able to deliver enough detail for the new 25mp sensor to shine. This picture specifically showing that ISO2500 combined with the newer 'noise-removal' methods are very well usable.

The TD Replaced the TC with a the more modern looking TD. With rack and pinion steering and coil independant front suspension.
The Mark II, from 1952 onwards, had power boosted to 57bhp, though factory tuning kits could take this to over 90bhp. Most were exported so many UK cars have been repatriated.
Disc wheels on the early cars with perforated wheels on later examples.
Seen arriving here with everything for a comfortable day at the show. This car is probably a repatriated example being registered on an age related vacant number, first earmarked for Kincardineshire

Recently replaced some old bushes in our front drive with 20 rose bushes. My wife and I couldn't resist this one.
This is a prime example (pun intended) of the back-focusing issues the 50L has. I aimed at his nose but the focus shifted backwards to the eyes. Even Beibei was alarmed.
I spent yesterday evening pouring through reviews / comments of this lens especially in fredmiranda's forums. I already knew of these issues but had hoped for the best. This morning, the lens was off to the service centre. I will try to tame this beast when it is back because I think the image quality is actually pretty smooth! The bokeh's magic.
PS: Photo processed with Elusive Action so these colours are not from the 50L but by action of Photoshop filters. Image is just to show back-focusing problem. :-P

An example of some of the oldest cave tombs inside Petra.
Can't stop playing around with this fabulous effect, not a new shot guys but a new take on an old capture.
The Nabataeans were clever and very practical people who were open to outside cultural differences, absorbed them and added them to their own way of life. As you experience Petra you will see Nabataean style architecture mixed alongside Egyptian, Graeco-Roman and Mesopotamian.
The Rose Red City was heaving with life and consisted of paved roads, water harvesting systems, agricultural terraces, temples, tombs, theatres, shops and huge amounts of artwork.
Once Petra reached it's historical peak the city was abandoned and was completely lost to the West after the 14th century until a Swiss traveller called Johann Ludwig Burckhardt "rediscovered" it in the year 1812.

Photoshop to the rescue. This is a good example of why shooting in RAW, and learning PS can make a huge difference in your photos. I did 2 different RAW developments. One was dark enough for the water to keep detail, and one bright enough to get the skin right. I put a copy of the darker image on top of the lighter one, and used a mask to allow the brigher image of Laura to show through. A quick crop, and it was finished.

Originally dating to around 1320, the building is important because it has most of its original features; successive owners effected relatively few changes to the main structure, after the completion of the quadrangle with a new chapel in the 16th century. Pevsner described it as "the most complete small medieval manor house in the county", and it remains an example that shows how such houses would have looked in the Middle Ages. Unlike most courtyard houses of its type, which have had a range demolished, so that the house looks outward, Nicholas Cooper observes that Ightham Mote wholly surrounds its courtyard and looks inward, into it, offering little information externally.[9] The construction is of "Kentish ragstone and dull red brick,"[10] the buildings of the courtyard having originally been built of timber and subsequently rebuilt in stone.[11]
The moat of Ightham Mote
The house has more than 70 rooms, all arranged around a central courtyard, "the confines circumscribed by the moat."[10] The house is surrounded on all sides by a square moat, crossed by three bridges. The earliest surviving evidence is for a house of the early 14th century, with the great hall, to which were attached, at the high, or dais end, the chapel, crypt and two solars. The courtyard was completely enclosed by increments on its restricted moated site, and the battlemented tower was constructed in the 15th century. Very little of the 14th century survives on the exterior behind rebuilding and refacing of the 15th and 16th centuries.
The structures include unusual and distinctive elements, such as the porter's squint, a narrow slit in the wall designed to enable a gatekeeper to examine a visitor's credentials before opening the gate. An open loggia with a fifteenth-century gallery above, connects the main accommodations with the gatehouse range. The courtyard contains a large, 19th century dog kennel.[12] The house contains two chapels; the New Chapel, of c.1520, having a barrel roof decorated with Tudor roses. [13] Parts of the interior were remodelled by Richard Norman Shaw.[14] wikipedia
16th century-late 19th century
The house remained in the Selby family for nearly 300 years.[3] Sir William was succeeded by his nephew, also Sir William, who is notable for handing over the keys of Berwick-upon-Tweed to James I on his way south to succeed to the throne.[4] He married Dorothy Bonham of West Malling but had no children. The Selbys continued until the mid-19th century when the line faltered with Elizabeth Selby, the widow of a Thomas who disinherited his only son.[5] During her reclusive tenure, Joseph Nash drew the house for his multi-volume illustrated history Mansions of England in the Olden Time, published in the 1840s.[6] The house passed to a cousin, Prideaux John Selby, a distinguished naturalist, sportsman and scientist. On his death in 1867, he left Ightham Mote to a daughter, Mrs Lewis Marianne Bigge. Her second husband, Robert Luard, changed his name to Luard-Selby. Ightham Mote was rented-out in 1887 to American Railroad magnate William Jackson Palmer and his family. For three years Ightham Mote became a centre for the artists and writers of the Aesthetic Movement with visitors including John Singer Sargent, Henry James, and Ellen Terry. When Mrs Bigge died in 1889, the executors of her son Charles Selby-Bigge, a Shropshire land agent, put the house up for sale in July 1889.[6]
Late 19th century-21st century
The Mote was purchased by Thomas Colyer-Fergusson.[6] He and his wife brought up their six children at the Mote. In 1890-1891, he carried out much repair and restoration, which allowed the survival of the house after centuries of neglect.[7] Ightham Mote was opened to the public one afternoon a week in the early 20th century.[7]
Sir Thomas Colyer-Fergusson's third son, Riversdale, died aged 21 in 1917 in the Third Battle of Ypres, and won a posthumous Victoria Cross. A wooden cross in the New Chapel is in his memory. The oldest brother, Max, was killed at the age of 49 in a bombing raid on an army driving school near Tidworth in 1940 during World War II. One of the three daughters, Mary (called Polly) married Walter Monckton.
On Sir Thomas's death in 1951, the property and the baronetcy passed to Max's son, James. The high costs of upkeep and repair of the house led him to sell the house and auction most of the contents. The sale took place in October 1951 and lasted three days. It was suggested that the house be demolished to harvest the lead on the roofs, or that it be divided into flats. Three local men purchased the house: William Durling, John Goodwin and John Baldock. They paid £5,500 for the freehold, in the hope of being able to secure the future of the house.[8]
In 1953, Ightham Mote was purchased by Charles Henry Robinson, an American of Portland, Maine, United States. He had known the property when stationed nearby during the Second World War. He lived there for only fourteen weeks a year for tax reasons. He made many urgent repairs, and partly refurnished the house with 17th-century English pieces. In 1965, he announced that he would give Ightham Mote and its contents to the National Trust. He died in 1985 and his ashes were immured just outside the crypt. The National Trust took possession in that year.[8]
In 1989, the National Trust began an ambitious conservation project that involved dismantling much of the building and recording its construction methods before rebuilding it. During this process, the effects of centuries of ageing, weathering, and the destructive effect of the deathwatch beetle were highlighted. The project ended in 2004 after revealing numerous examples of structural and ornamental features which had been covered up by later additions.[1]
Lucanus cervus, known as the European stag beetle, or the greater stag beetle, is one of the best-known species of stag beetle (family Lucanidae) in Western Europe, and is the eponymous example of the genus. L. cervus is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List.
Lucanus cervus is situated in the genus Lucanus within the family Lucanidae. In the genus there are two subgenera: Lucanus Scopoli, 1763 and Pseudolucanus Hope and Westwood, 1845. The species L. cervus contains four subspecies. The nominate subspecies L. cervus cervus (Linnaeus, 1758) was established via the original description of the species in 1758. The three latterly added subspecies are L. cervus judaicus Planet, 1900, L. cervus laticornis Deyrolle, 1864, and L. cervus turcicus Sturm, 1843.
The European stag beetle is the largest beetle in Europe. Their colour is usually black with reddish elytra (and red mandibles in males). Sexually dimorphic, the males have enlarged mandibles and are larger than the females. Although the male's mandibles seem threatening, they are too weak to be harmful. Nevertheless, females can inflict a painful bite. The resemblance of the male's mandibles to the antlers of a stag, and their use in combat between males, much like with deer, gives the species its scientific and common names.
Adult size varies between different areas of its distribution, for example beetles from Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands are larger than those from Belgium or the UK. Males grow up to 7.5 cm (2.9 inches) in length, and females grow between 3 and 5 cm (1.1 and 1.9 inches).
In Britain, female Lucanus cervus are often confused with both sexes of the lesser stag beetle (Dorcus parallelipipedus). They can be distinguished as lesser stag beetles are smaller, with a completely black exoskeleton, and a larger, squarer head. Another difference is that Lucanus cervus larvae feed on wood below ground, and Dorcus parallelipipedus larvae eat wood above ground.
Lucanus cervus is widespread across Europe, though it is absent from Ireland. In Germany it is widespread, mainly in the south. In Hungary this species is widespread in the hilly and mountainous areas. In Romania it is widespread, especially in the hilly areas with sun exposed slopes. It also occurs in the European part of Turkey. In Italy it is mainly distributed in northern and central regions. In Spain and Portugal it is present only in the northern half of each country. In Britain it is largely confined to the south-east of England, where it is widespread. This species is now extinct in Latvia; it also disappeared from Denmark around 1970, but was reintroduced in 2013. It is also found in Caucasus, Asia Minor, Syria and west Kazakhstan. Its range is currently only increasing in Croatia and Slovakia.
Lucanus cervus has been associated with a range of trees including those in the genera oak (Quercus), lime (Tilia), beech (Fagus), willow (Salix) and certain species in other genera including black poplar (Populus nigra), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), horse-chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), wild cherry (Prunus avium), and common walnut (Juglans regia). Larval development sites were found in proximity of dead wood of the allochthonous Quercus rubra.
Adults appear during late May to the beginning of August, being most active in the evenings. Females lay about 30 eggs in a piece of decaying wood deep in the soil. Stag beetle larvae, which are blind and shaped like a letter "C", feed on rotting wood in a variety of places, tree stumps, old trees and shrubs, rotting fence posts, compost heaps, and leaf mould. The larvae have a cream-coloured, soft, transparent body with six orange legs, and an orange head which is very distinct from the very sharp brown pincers. They have combs in their legs which they use for communication (stridulation) with other larvae. The larvae go through several instars (stages), taking several years to become pupae. Males use their large mandibles to fight with each other in competition for females, intending to throw their opponent off the log or branch they are on.
The work of entomologist Charlie Morgan during the late 1970s discovered that the pupae of the stag beetle live in the soil for about 3 months, then emerge in summer to awkwardly fly off to mate. Adults suck up the liquids of nectar, fallen fruit, and tree sap. Their slow, lumbering flight, usually at dusk, makes a distinctive low-pitched buzzing sound. The males fly more readily than the females.
Stag beetles spend most of their life as larvae and can take from 3 to 7 years for them to pupate, but the lifespan of the adults is only a few weeks.
The species Lucanus cervus contains four subspecies, with Lucanus cervus cervus being the nominate subspecies. The three latterly added subspecies are L. cervus judaicus, L. cervus laticornis, L. cervus turcicus, and L. cervus akbesianus.
The natural reaction of the beetle to an approaching large object is to remain motionless, making them a good photographic subject.
In a primary ancient forest in northern Italy, stag beetle males were less elusive than females. Males were more frequently radio-tracked in flight, females mostly underground and in the proximity of deadwood. Males were mostly observed flying at sunset, and resting or walking on standing trees during the day. The combination of air temperature and humidity determined the optimal weather conditions for male flights. Flying at sunset, mostly performed by males, significantly increased the detectability of the species. Stag beetles are shown to be more active during the first part of their adult lives. Males were more prone to disperse than females but the home range size did not differ between the sexes. Dividing the flight season in three intervals, the most active individuals were recorded during the first and the second ones (first and second half of June).
Natural predators of L. cervus in Britain include cats, foxes, badgers, carrion crows, magpies, woodpeckers, kestrels, and false black widows; these tend to strike at the most vulnerable stage in the beetle's life cycle, when adults are seeking to mate and lay eggs. In the case of magpies, they have been observed in the field as waiting for emergence on a single site, subsequently consuming the beetle's abdomen.
In Italy, the main predator is the hooded crow (Corvus cornix).
Mites in the order Monogynaspida (Suborder Uropodina) are phoretic (attached for the purpose of transportation) and have been observed attached to L. cervus as deutonymphs on the membrane of the joint between head and pronotum.
Lucanus cervus is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List. Although this species is widely distributed in Europe, it is in significant decline in the north and central part of its range and future trends of European forests will pose serious threats to this species, thus making the species close to qualifying for Vulnerable.
Lucanus cervus is registered in the second appendix of the Habitats Directive of the European Union from 1992, which requires that member states set aside special areas of conservation. The species is also registered in the third appendix of the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Berne convention) of 1982 and Schedule 5 of the UK's Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
Log pyramids, also called stumperies, are vertical log piles where the logs are buried upright, providing plenty of underground rotten broadleaf wood for stag beetle larvae to feed on, as their natural food sources are in decline.

The Capehart Crocker House (apparently most commonly called Capehart House) is a fine example of Queen Anne-style architecture, constructed in 1898 for Lucy Catherine Capehart and her second husband, B. A. Capehart, who died in 1899 shortly after moving in. Mrs. Capehart died in 1908. The house eventually was the home of sheriff H. G. Crocker. In 1947 it was turned into apartments and then used as offices for state government in 1971. In 1979 when much of the neighborhood was being torn down, the house was moved from Wilmington Street to Blount Street, an area associated with the well-to-do. A sign in front indicates it’s now the offices of the North Carolina State Ethics Commission.
From virtually any angle, the roofline is a wonderland of shapes and lines. The National Register website states “Its dramatic massing of towers, turrets, dormers and pediments is complemented by a rich combination of colors and textures, including pressed tan brick, rough stone, patterned slate shingles, stained glass and elaborate wood ornamentation.”
The architect is Adolphus G. Bauer (1858-1898), a local architect, whose life could form the basis of a fascinating book (fiction or non-fiction); it even has enough dramatic possibilities for a movie. He committed suicide before the home was completed. Mostly demolished, his structures showed a flair for the elaborate asymmetrical design of that period. Perhaps his most notable achievement was the Baptist Female Seminary of Raleigh, which later evolved into Meredith College. Another standing example is the North Carolina School for the Deaf at Morganton.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places 17 January 1975, NRHP Reference #75001293

Some working examples of my latest project. I am working on a series of photos that are double exposures of houses that were damaged in Hurricane Sandy with a photo of the sand and water that caused the damage. This is a shot of the Seaside Heights Pier. The police were yelling at people to get off the beach.
They were taken with an 8x10 camera and these are scans of prints made. I plan on scanning the negative and work off of those. These were just done to get the basic idea of what it may look like when they are done.

For swoofty. This should provide a solid platform for rear vent assembly in any locomotives that has offset widen rear vents (such as EMD SD9). It is one of the sturdy that I can ask for. A simple 3ft drop only knocked off one set of grill brick assembly. Easy to put back together and move on. Not very finicky as well.
To attach any fan/exhaust above it, anything can work really well. I use Technic dish 3x3 which can be attached to a Technic brick 1x1 with a hole in it. The placement of the Technic brick depends on the spacing with Technic dish. Of course Ive seen other different uses such as Swoofty's Technic wedge belt wheel.
Next step is to attach it to locomotive. It depends on your locomotive body. You can attach it in many ways. You can have 1x4 plate that sticks through the bottom and it could hold on to something else or whatever. I have not come up with something at this moment but the way I see it in my hand, there are endless opportunity to attach this unit.
