during my teaching days in nantou county i would do morning walks and these are captures of those moments.
this morning, it began to rain and being that i love my f-1, it went back into my bag after this photo.

With an empty feed lot and a quick spray paint job, this old barn is probably just for show now on someone’s country estate. At least it will be preserved.
Anybody who regularly visits Hastings will know Pioneer was looking a bit tired. She has now had a fresh coat of paint and is looking mighty fine. I desaturated the photo quite a bit as the colour of the hull was very vivid.

CSX B77220 rounds the curve at Dawson on the Mountain Subdivision behind a freshly overhauled pair of SD70ACs. Fall colors are starting to pop on the distance hillside, nicely complimenting the shiny paint on these two EMDs. The B772 is bringing Q316's train into Cumberland, as the manifest was running late and the original crew ran out of hours upon reaching Keyser.
Surely the Green Honeycreeper must be one of the most colourful birds I have seen and photographed. I came across it in Selva Verde, Costa Rica and somehow misidentified it shortly after I returned from our 2020 trip.
Since then I believe that I have resolved the identification problem and this is a female Green Honeycreeper. Maybe my previous uncertainly was they reason that I didn't post this one before.
Incidentally the male of this species is much more turquoise and has a distinctive black head.
Freshly recrewed and re-symbolled, D12 sprints south through Goembel CP, destined for Decatur. A pair of veteran Dash 9s do the honors, which seems to be the norm around here anymore.

This eagle picked up this fish in the Susquehanna River and headed straight towards me, as can be seen from the water dripping from the fish.
It happened too fast for me to zoom out, but I quite like the composition with the clipped wings

Here's an image that I have freshly edited today after looking through the thousands of images that i shot during my 26 day World Tour of the UK last July and August.
A fellow photographer and friend of mine Huw Alban joined me on location for a couple of hours before dashing off to head to work. We both witnessed a gorgeous morning with the most wonderful of skies adding interest, texture and some lovely shapes to the image.
If you have yet to visit Dungeness, do so. It's quite a strange little place. There's a large pebbled beach with residential houses littered around the circular road that takes you in and around the two nuclear power stations that exist on site (only one of them is still operational).
There is also a beautiful small tourist railway called Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway present. It is a 90-year-old narrow (15in) gauge steam and diesel railway that stretches 14 miles from Hythe to Dungeness on the Channel coast.
But Dungeness for me is an eerie, seemingly desolated place. I sat in my minibus/makeshift campervan for almost eight hours while it rained heavily. I would look at an empty space that is punctuated with wooden sheds that house diesel generators that power the winches that allow the fishermen to drag the boats onto the pebbled beach.
For all its eeriness, it is a fantastic place for the landscape/seascape photographer. There is a wealth of compositions available. Go and visit it for yourself and let me know what you think.
I hope you like the image. Thanks for looking and as usual, feel FREE TO SHARE if you wish :D

A freshly emerged Common Darter portrait from Monday morning, I found plenty of these recently emerged Dragonflies on the walls around the fountain at the Memorial Park. So I tried to get a few close up portraits of these beauties. They were swaying in the wind a bit, but every so often the wind would die and I'd try for another portrait focus stack.
When focus stacking I have to shoot JPEG's with the 1000D as it doesn't cope well in RAW and tends to start buffering after 3 shots, which slows things down too much. This was a 15 image focus stack using using an F/7.1 aperture, ISO 200 and a 1/160 aperture. I used the MP-E 65mm at x2 mag and a diffused flash was used.
