A quiet, cloudy afternoon in Tamaqua is interrupted by the passing of Reading & Northern's train NRFF, powered by five SD50s as it passes the ex-Reading station in town. This was the first time catching one R&N's SD50s in the gray "Fast Freight Service" in the lead.
This photo has just been selected for an exhibition at PH21 Gallery in Budapest / Hungary. My first photo ever to be exhibited - I am quite excited! The exhibition will be from Feb. 18 til Mar. 15. Details at www.ph21gallery.com/#!moments/npyy2.
If you should be in the neighborhood, please have a look!

A man with two crutches, a cell phone, and pile of stuffed shopping bags, hanging out on the main promenade in Riyeka, next to Zara. Sincere best wishes to all who see this.
Happy Mono Monday, Happy Bench Monday.
I’ll be traveling again mid-week to begin our planned 2020 trip to Portugal. Much more Croatian beauty to express after this rather dour start. Probably highlights of our Douro cruise will intervene for a couple of weeks.

For comparison with the "twilight" images of this subject I thought I'd post a photograph of the fountain that I took in daylight, from a similar perspective.
This image was taken the following day using the sports mode on the camera, to see if it would give me an image in which the fountain did nt look like an explosion, and to eliminate camera shake and blurring. I guess the water cascades out of the fountain at a fantastic rate ... This still looks fairly explosive!
I have tried to edit out the bikes and other objects. Unfortunately, it hangs my computer! So I have given up for the time being at least
It's amazing how fast photography is changing. I never gave HDR a thought until just under a year ago when I used my own car for my first HDR experiment on Jan.1st of this year. This photo now just happens to be my #1 most viewed photo at about 50,000 views (mostly because of you do a search for HDR it's usually the #1 or #2 most relevant photo).
And this photo is another in the series I did with my work buddy Jeff. The original Viper photo I posted is now my #1 most interesting photo of all time.
And according to my most interesting photos, the top 14 shots are all HDR shots, all taken this year. My previous #1 shot held that position since I initially posted it over 2 years ago. This was when I was at my peak of doing night-time long exposure shots. At that point, my photography was all about going out somewhere random late at night and taking long exposures at night. I also had my times doing tilt shift miniture fakes and using toy cameras for another way of looking at things as well as using textures to help enhance a photo.
What I'm getting at is that these fads come and go. Who knows what will be next? Years and years ago, improvements in photography came at the advances in use of film, and better lenses, and artificial lighting, but these came at a rate of every few years.
My next goal is to obtain and use slip-in filters to create more natural, even exposures.
I know a lot of people going back to film and understanding the original principles of what makes an out-of-the-camera photo more interesting. I think if we all strive to start there, we'll need to do a lot less enhancing to obtain Explore greatness.. or even the accolades from our peers.
Happy rainy Monday. I hope most of you have all your shopping done.

If there is any motion blur in this image it is entirely intended to give the feel of the movement of the cat and in no way a result of my negligence in failing to get a good enough shutter speed and/or hold the camera steady (honest - damn). Thank you for your attention.
A few weeks ago I didn't feel like travelling a lot, so it seemed like a nice idea to check out my own environment.
This appeared to be a good decision. I found some barn swallow with their youngsters. It was great fun to watch the parents fly off and an on while the baby swallows cried for 'Bigger, Better, Faster, Moooooore..!'
Normally I bike around and -unlike when driving in a car- every animal runs, flies or swims away as soon as they see me and my Giant. So this time I slowly walked towards them, closer and closer and finally they were in the reach of my 300mm and...stayed there! ;)

The low clouds on this morning were moving very fast. This is only a 61 second exposure ... in one minute the clouds had moved that much in the sky. Sometimes you can only get this motion with 3 to 4 minutes.
Nice part with the fast moving clouds, you do not have to extend the shutter all that much to get the neat view, allowing for more compositions and photos to be taken :))
If music could match photos, I think this would go down well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZCBrwlH4Sw
Reminds me of the scene in Fast and the Furious : Tokyo Drift where they go to the first drift meet.
This shot's been sitting in my LR folder for ages and I really liked it but couldn't come up with an edit I quite like. Finally settled on this! I hope you guys enjoy, let me know what you'd change.
I rescued Fast Eddie when he was about a month old outside splashing around in a mud puddle. Baby you came to the right guy. Picked him up, dried him up and brought him in for bottle feeding and care. Little Eddie had his eyes infected matted shut. I applied Ophthalmic Tobramycin eye drops to his eyes and in around a week he opened his eyes and looked at me with an expression that seemed to say, "Holy crap what an ugly mom I have!" 😄 This wasn't my first rodeo ha ha. I had nursed five or six other baby kittens into adulthood, and the rest is history! ❤🐱❤
Standby vesssel Esvagt Supporter's fast rescue craft. These rescue teams are amazingly professional. Once an alarm of a man overboard on a rig has been raised these crews can launch their craft do the rescue and return the casualty to safety in 3 to 5 minutes.
The second of my future-auto trifecta, this time based on gorgeous retro wedge-front sports cars. Also built irl and then uploaded to digital. Full interior and at best minifig scale, though figures need to be chopped at the waist and finessed to fit. Front wheels can be steered too.
The purpose of the three cars was to look at what I consider the three main areas of consumer-cars in futuristic media: Luxury, Show, and Utility. I am disregarding Industrial and Military as I have made a ton of the former already and I don't really like the latter.
