A few basic facts:
More than 14800 parts
Over 1000 hours of work (total project duration 1 year)
A lot of fun !
Overall, the scene is more filled than my Classic Space Outpost. But in a Blacktronbase is much going on.
Here is my last part of the Blacktron II special Forces series, as I imagine a base of evil guys. I could not fit all parts into this scene because there are just too many, but I am satisfied with the result. And I hope very much you like it.
NJT 4502, in a colorful Armed Forces livery, catches the last few seconds of light as they head through Harrison. This train is headed for the Raritan Valley Line and is likely either a late 5445 or the 5747 positioning itself for a later departure. Raritan Valley Line trains originate at Newark Penn Station and typically use these ALP-45DPs.

I wanted to post another one from this archive to let you all know that Australia, whilst we have had some very bad flooding, the majority of our country is safe and ready for visitors to explore our great nation. Oprah has been playing her TV show and it seems a big shame that it had to co-inside with some very unfortunate weather.

Whilst trying to capture a plain & clean seascape I noticed these 2 people standing together in the distance so I re-composed this shot to show the large scale of nature against these 2 small distant lovers. They both look so tiny & overwhelmed against nature’s forces

Water, Ice, Sun, Wind
Well, in previous years I wrote under similar pictures about "once in a decade event" and "very rare circumstances". I guess that I can't use this words any longer as this is the third year in a row that the lighthouse is frozen. Anyway... I still love this icy place.
British forces in Africa.
The Morris LRC is part of the RAF Regiment, with the 2 soldiers at the very front and the one in the morris.
The Lads on the wing of a Hurricane tank buster are in the Desert Air Force, one is the Pilot and the rest keep the Hurricanes flying like the one in the air.
The pic is dark because of it was taken against the sun.
Feel free to add your self.
(Disclaimer: Those of you who follow me on Facebook or railpictures.net probably already saw this shot, so I share this (1) For my Flickr friends who haven't seen it (2) To share a longer version of the story behind this shot.)
For those who read all the way to the end, I left yesterday's post with a little bit of a cliffhanger. Tonight, I bring you the conclusion. As I mentioned, by the time Alco S-1 #5 was ready to bring Alco RS-36 #5019 and the former UHRR coach south, daylight was fading. I was able to get a few more daylight shots at Riparius, The Glen, and a little north of Thurman before the light was totally gone.
At Thurman, the 5 ran around its train on the siding so that it could shove it the rest of the way south. First, this provided an opportunity to get a decent long exposure of the 5--now at the other end of the train--as my good friend Brad Peterson (who followed behind the train in his hi-rail truck) lit it up pretty well with his headlights. Second, this now meant that the 5019 would "lead" the rest of the way south. Though the 5019 was dead and inoperable, the crew used a generator to run the headlights and stationed a crew member in its cab. Normally--not being a night photographer (other than occasional long exposures)--I would have been done taking photos after Thurman. However, earlier in the southbound chase, an opportunity presented itself from an unexpected place...
In addition to myself, John Sesonske, John's friend Jeff, and Max Brisben, one other photographer had been tipped off about this secret move. Yes, Hal himself let Kevin Burkholder know about the move to ensure there would be some night shots. Now, believe me, I know Kevin is a bit controversial in the railroad photography world. I for one was not happy when he removed a leased unit from a shot on Cuttingsville Trestle on the Green Mountain Railroad and posted it to railpictures.net (which thus resulted in the "VTR 431 World Tour," which--for the most part--was an innocent, fun way to poke fun at the situation). But--I have to say--especially in light of certain photographers yelling at friends of mine on the Batten Kill, Kevin has always been friendly to me trackside. Such was the case when John, Jeff, and I ran into him in North Creek.
When I left to get water in North Creek, Kevin asked me if I'd pick him one up, too, and flipped me a few bucks. A little bit later at Riparius, he asked me, "Hey, did you bring your tripod?" Then, he explained that he had arranged with the crew to stop the train on the bridge at Hadley for a night shot and invited me to join him. He said it was the least he could do for picking up a water for him. Well, how could I say no to an opportunity like that?
After getting my long exposures at Thurman, I hit the road. Kevin had arrived at Hadley just before me and was already setting of his flashes. Meanwhile, I scoped out the best spot for us to stand for the shot. After getting into position, Kevin generously offered to do as many test flashes as I needed to ensure I had my composition exactly as I wanted and my focus as good as I could get it (and boy was the latter tough!!). It appeared to me that Kevin was going to shoot horizontal, and--just to confirm--I asked him. So, partially to make sure the two of us covered slightly different angles of the event--along with my general preference to shoot "tall" bridge shots like this vertically (think, once again, Cuttingsville)--I opted to shoot vertical.
At 11:20 PM, the train rolled onto the bridge and stopped exactly where we hoped it would. This was the result. Though I can take credit for finding where to stand and the composition, I wouldn't have been able to do it without Kevin providing the flash.
After this, the story of the night was not through, however. Though Batten Kill owner Bill Taber had helped run the train north, he had swapped out with someone else to flag crossings on the southbound trip. I knew Bill wasn't as familiar with the crossing locations as I was, so I checked in with him at one of the crossings south of town. I asked how things were going, to which he responded, "Disorienting." So, I offered to help guide him and the other flagger to the rest of the crossings. As we were on our way to the next crossing, the crew started giving Bill directions to the next crossing when he radioed them back that he had an "escort" now (haha). Having never worked for a railroad, to me it was a fun way to "join the crew" and help make sure the 5019 safely reached its destination. After flagging the final crossing, Bill thanked me and said I was a big help. That made my night. As cool as this shot was, memories like that are why I'll remember this chase for the rest of my life.

Armed Forces Memorial in Staffordshire, in memory of all servicemen and women killed since WW II whilst on active service are remembered here
Shot on a cold day at Pearl Bay looking out to Pittwater near Sydney. i deliberately processed this image quickly to avoid over thinking and over processing which can dog me sometimes. I should add that I have used very minimal sharpening another previous processing failing of mine until recently. See what you all think?.
If there's even a hint of rain on the horizon, these slot canyons should be avoided at all costs. The same forces that chisels the stone walls can quickly turn into a human blender. Even if it rains miles away, the water will collectively travel to the lowest point and turn into a freight train carrying a load of debris through these narrow passageways. Best to stay out of itâs path and enjoy the scenery in itâs wake.
Pour tout vous avouer je sors une image en N&B tous les 2/3 ans ...
Ce jour là en Islande, la pluie tombait sur la plage de sable noir de Vik et il n'y avait aucune lumière.
Les mouvements d'eau étaient très jolis et le paysage malgré la pluie magnifique, je trouve donc que le N&B se prêtait vraiment bien à la situation.
J'attends vos avis :).
Bonne soirée à toutes et à tous et n'hésitez pas à partager l'image.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds demonstration squadron perform a low show at CFB Borden.
I had a bit of foresight and a bit of luck in getting this photo, as I was in the perfect spot to try this composition knowing that the team would do a couple overhead passes.
I think the solo curling out on the left hand side just adds a bit more to the photo, filling in what would otherwise be empty space.

An evening at Lake Tahoe I'd never witnessed before. Although there were some great clouds in the sky, there was no storm or rain. No big boats on the water (that I could see), and no heavy winds. But, the lake was throwing up some very forceful waves with spray shooting as much as 20 feet! It was beautiful! :)

After German Forces invaded the French Lunar Territories the Allied Armies declared war, with fighting soon spreading to the Red Planet, previously occupied by the Soviets.
Après que le VIA 602 (train en arrière plan) ait fait son arrêt à la gare et qu'il ait libéré le quai, se sera au tour du VIA 606 de faire son échange de passagers. Une fois l'aiguillage libéré, l'ingénieur du 606 remettra celui-ci en position permettant au 602 de venir s'atteler derrière son train. Les deux trains poursuivront ainsi leur marche en direction de Montréal en étant un seul convoi.
After VIA 602 (train in the background) has stopped at the station and cleared the platform, it will be VIA 606's turn to make its passenger exchange. Once the switch is cleared, the 606's engineer will put it back in position allowing 602 to couple behind his train. The two trains will then continue their journey toward Montreal as a single convoy.
There are flowery pathways
And shady lanes,
There are sparkly sunbeams
And showery rains,
There are lovely valleys
And bubbly brooks,
There are lofty mountains
And sheltered nooks,
There are grassy meadows
And starry skies,
There are happy bluebirds
And butterflies,
There are cheery rainbows
And leafy trees-
In This Beautiful World,
Thank God for these!
