An inspiring photo from yesterday's early sunrise walk with my marauding dog on the North Sask River.

For the next 6 months, I am only going to post pics from my point and shoot cameras. My goal is to see how good of an image I can get only using point and shoot cameras. My list of cameras I intend to use are
So here we are... achievement unlocked: 7000 followers. Thank you all, truly, I'm overwhelmed with the love <3.
Some of us have personal goals that we set for ourselves, long ago, I had descided that this was it, and now that I'm here... I'm not really sure what to do with myself.
A few things are coming to mind: Continue blogging for a few of my long-term sponsors and events, possibly get back into creating some new BOM stuff, or straight out retire.
Maybe it's a ten year itch, a Mid-(second)Life-Crisis... who knows, it will likely pass... just know that I have no more expectations of myself or anyone else, it's super empowering.
Another image from a recent visit to Buchanty Spout near Crieff in Perthshire, Scotland. If you go to this location at the right time of year, you can see the Salmon jumping out of the water and up the falls as they try to get up stream to spawn. It certainly is some sight.
On my current US road trip, I wanted to catch some Alpenglow. While having sunrise and sunset reds on sandstone (like in Arches NP), which brings out the reds indeed, a white, i.e.snowy, background does work nicely as well. Contrasting, blue sky. That was the goal.
Not being the luckiest with the weather, I basically had one shot about shooting a sunrise, prefixed by two hours of searching and settling for a place where an assumed sunrise might be seen nicely. So, the next morning, I went on a dirt road in Owen's Valley, ran around in the half-dark, avoiding all kinds of cow releases, finding a spot where I could get some interesting foreground, masking a bit the not-green grass. I liked the Owen's River being quite calm, and what I also liked were clouds in the sky giving the light some brightness variations when it hit the nearby mountains.
Afterwards, we continued to Yosemite Valley, but more on that in the coming pictures.

This is part of the Martinsburg Roundhouse complex and is a rare example of 19th-century railroading technology. The roundhouse is located in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and has been a part of two major events in the history of the United States: the Civil War and the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. (per Google) As you can see there is a pretty solid fence there and Anita could not find a way to slip around it! This is just a small part of this whole roundhouse thing but it's pretty interesting. The Amtrak trains still stop here and one actually did shortly after we arrived.

A shady spot with long cool grass at the end of a hot summer walk = lab goals.
I am not sure when I first started to set goals in my life but I am guessing it was before I was twenty years old. Though I have missed a lot more goals than I hit, I still find myself doing that task, sometimes just for the day, sometimes for the longer term.
When I first started photography a few years ago, I wanted to specialize in shooting birds in flight. I soon learned this was more of an advanced skill than I possessed at that time.
Over the past few years I have gotten better with larger birds like hawks and eagles but still was overly challenged by quick, fast birds.
One of my goals for the last couple of years as the warmer months approached was to shoot pheasants in flight, one of the more difficult challenges if you do wildlife shooting from a vehicle as everything that happens is very sudden and random.
Earlier this week from a distance of about 40 yards I saw 3 pheasants by the side of the road getting their morning grit. They spotted me and quickly skittered down into the ditch and up onto a large, bare field. I knew they could not make it into any brush without flying so I got out of the vehicle, focused on the first one and held my finger down as it took off.
Pretty stoked at the result, although at my stage of life I need to go easy on the stoke part.

Instead of watching football last friday, I ran outside and searched in the polder for a nice field with crop. In my neighbourhood farmers don't care about leading lines, the fields are a mess but the sky compensated the lack of a good foreground.

Commit your way to the LORD,trust also in Him,&He shall bring it to pass.PSALM 37:5*
Anytime people set goals for their lives that require great striving,intense frustation,repeated failures,&manipulation of others-that is an unrealistic goal.
It is not within the realm of their God-given talents&abilities. It is beyond GODs plan&purpose for their life.Now,Im not saying that the achievement of goals doesnt require effort,education,training,or the development of skills.
Those factors are always necessary in the attainment of any goal that is worthy.God doesnt give us talents&abilities that are fully developed.He requires that we sharpen them&mature in their use.
ITs another thing entirely to commit yourself to becoming an opera singer when you cant carry a tune in a bucket.

My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness
Early on in the COVER OF DARKNESS series, I shot a couple gas stations. They were not initially the type scene I was looking to capture, but when I came across one late at night, bright and isolated in the darkness, it was impossible for me to resist, so I continue to shoot them. I have now shot enough that they have become a series-within-the-series. For a look at them as a collection, check out, Gas Stations
The Waag River, that was my goal for the day and I got there via a beautiful detour of greenery and forests and extensive valleys. Not everything is about photographing trains, for me personally anyway.
Since the double railway line passes over two different bridges, this was a challenge that I was happy to take on to photograph there.
On foot with shoes in hand I ended up on an island where I had a nice view of the two bridges and there I took this photo, one of many, of a ZSSK Vectron with its Tatran express on the way to Bratislava.
