With a trio of GP20C-ECOs for power, F13 is seen hustling south on the Bangor Sub, crossing the Marsh Stream in Winterport. The white tank cars headpin are a mix of loaded and empty clay cars for Sprague in Searsport, the only customer that CP currently serves in Searsport.
Wow, what a morning this was as I neared the end of my mammoth 26 day tour of the UK. Dragging my backside out of my stripped out minibus/makeshift campervan gets more and more difficult after you have done 17 sunrise shoots in the previous 22 days but when the light and colour is as good as this, how could I complain really?
I really enjoyed shooting the pier at Cromer as I felt it offered me plenty of compositions on both sides of it and the surrounding promenade walls have enough interest in their shapes and curves to contribute but it was the sun streaming through and under the pier legs that excited me. I waited until a large wave rose and lined up with the ray of light so that it illuminated the white foam beautifully.
A short exposure time ensured that I retained detail and form in the water whilst slightly softening it to have it look easier on the eye. I had to be careful not to leave it too long before getting my shot otherwise the sun would have risen above the pier and made life even more difficult than it already was although I have to praise Canon on finally producing a camera that allows me enough dynamic range to cope with the dark shadow areas whilst holding back the highlights. I am now able with this 5D MK4 to be able to lighten the shadow areas enough and not have colour noise creep in. I'm one happy photographer these days.

Exercising my mind / Flights of fancy - making some digitial collages from found creative common elements and my own work
I was really quite confused with this weeks topic after reading all the comments, I have never heard of "The Sweet Spot" for a lens so it was fun learning, the sweet spot seems to be f8 - f11 for most lenses from what I could understand, I tried most of my f stops for this theme and for me if I have understood the theme properly, which was to find the sharpest (most detailed) and focused photo, so with that understanding my sweet spot is f32 I have added another photo to my stream at f13 but to my eye this is the "Sweetest Spot" for my Tamron 90mm macro lens.
HMM to Everyone.
Nomad bees are generally a pain to shoot. Since they parasitize on other solitary bees, especially species burrowing in the ground, they seem to constantly be on the move - always looking for a suitable nest to take advantage of.
Since I'd like them to be still to be able to shoot them, this isn't exactly ideal - but since they are really pretty with their bright colours, comparably little hair for being bees and amazing (often red) spotted eyes, they rank high on the wanted list.
This was why I couldn't believe my eyes when I found this one. An orange-horned nomad bee (Nomada fulvicornis) which was quite content hanging out on a rock next to the driveway of a house and I got several shots I'm pleased with. This one is actually two shots stacked into one with greater DoF using Zerene Stacker.
After dinner in the greenhouse today, I noticed an emerald wasp (aka cuckoo wasp) on the white wood between the windows.
Normally, when I stick my camera in their face they get moving, but not this one. He/she was literally dead tired after trying to get out of the hot greenhouse though the windows.
After snapping this photo, I tried moving it, but it just fell down on the window sill - crumbled up and looking dead.
I eventually managed to get it off there and onto the table and my mother-in-law gave me a cup with a little sugar water to attempt to get it up and running again.
I put a drop of suger water in front of it and moved it to it, but didn't get a reaction. Legs were still folded in under it and the antennae flat aginst the body.
After a little while with no improvement, I picked it up by the ends of th wings and literally stuck most of its head into the sugar water. Still not much of a reaction, but a foot began twitching!
Eventually a whole leg began to move, but not much else and I was prertty much giving up at this point - but I left it on/in the sugar water.
Finally, after fifteen minutes in the sugar, I decided this wasn't working and pulled it out - but it did! the tiny wasp began fluttering its wings a bit and actually walking around!
After the obligatory antennae grooming, it walked up onto my finger and I placed it on top of the bee hotel in the garden, looking just as speedy as it should.
The species is called Chrysis equestris and doesn't have a common English name, but the swedish one, "regnbĂĄgsguldstekel", meaning rainbow emerald wasp seems quite fitting., right?

The cream of the crop! It doesn't get any better than this! DJ Short's F13 so now u know! Whoever said, "money doesn't grow on trees," never predicted cannabis prohibition! Thank you Harry J Anslinger for creating this modern day chaos and to you Cooley, wouldn't it be a cruel twist of fate if you became diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis...
Life seems to be very complicated in every place of the world. Most of us are anxious from time to time. Most of us are depressed from time to time. We want to change that. And in many cases such a change can be brought forward by cannabis. That's why people use it, that's all.

I took this shot of the Burrard Inlet from the Barnet Marine Park in Burnaby last week, when the weather was warm and sunny. Unfortunately, the weather has not been as nice this week, though the forecast is for sunnier weather by the weekend ~ I am looking forward to it!

Mountain on Fire.
Look at my previous shot from Schwabacher Landing and look at the far right.
This more closer view shows how the mountain is beautiful lit up by first morning light.
Enjoy...
