Looking towards Hackness during sunset. Hackness is a small village just outside Scarborough of which I often cycle through but have never photographed before.
For this image I used HDR because either the foreground was too dark or the sky was blown out. Used 0.9 and 0.6 ND grad to try and reduce the contrast between the two. In the end I ended up using a series of 5 different exposures and the ND grads.
The near wagon is one that I have shot before. It is a Hack Passenger Wagon c. 1862 that is in the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History collection. It was manufactured by Abbot-Downing Co. Concord, New Hampshire
This four passenger wagon is the smallest of the Hack Passenger Wagons. The lighter versions of the East were called Concord Coaches. The heavy version, suited for the rough conditions of the West, was often called a "mud wagon" or "the poor man's Concord". The leather suspension system gave a ride that was smooth by the day's standards.
This coach belonged to Petra Vela Kenedy, wife of Mifflin Kenedy. Mr. Kenedy built a ranching empire in South Texas in the mid-19th century. By the time of Mrs. Kenedy's death in 1885, the ranch comprised 390,000 acres. This coach was most likely the preferred mode of transportation for Mrs. Kenedy, who traveled frequently from the La Parra Ranch in Kenedy County to the Kenedy home on the bluff in Corpus Christi, Texas.

#295/365 A snapshot candid I took this morning. My son is almost 3 1/2. Several weeks ago I made a comment to my wife that at this age my daughter was already proficient with the mouse and keyboard, but my son shows no interest or ability (boys I figured). Well in the last 2 weeks he's been so into playing Toontown Online (from watching his sister). He has gotten so good at it I can now call the short bus and tell them they will not be needed. This was taken shortly after he woke up. I think it's cute although the downside is I get to use my computer less.

After a busy day sorting out a hacked email account thought this would be a good idea, not realising how time consuming this would be to process

Between 1914 and 1918, lumberjacks worked in the Wyoming Range cutting trees to produce tens of thousands of railroad ties to be used in the construction of Union Pacific track between Rawlins to Cokeville.
The men were called "tie hacks" and worked ten-hour days, six days a week, chopping down the trees by hand, then hand-hewing them into railroad ties using a broadaxe.
This hard work was done in the dead of winter in freezing temperatures with several feet of snow on the ground. The men living in work camps and small cabins dotted throughout the drainages. They skied and snowshoed to travel between workcamps and get supplies from the camp commissary.
The men were paid by the tie, which were dragged down to the streams and stockpiled during the winter. When spring high water came, the ties were broken free and sent rushing downstream to the Green River and then floated 100 miles downstream to the town of Green River, west of Rock Springs.
Tie hacks camps operated in the Wyoming Range and the eastern slopes of the Wind River Range.
Over ten million ties were taken out of the forests of western Wyoming at the turn of the century. The era ended in the early 1940s.
Remnants of old tie hack cabins can still be found today.

The main problem with these 15-metre coaches is the outswing at the back end, and Plaxton is now offering a solution to this issue by removing the rearmost portion of the body, which is really only empty space underneath - a sort of "cut-and-shut" job. The engine area is unaffected, as the chassis was extended in the first place to take the extra body length. The only loss is the floor-mounted toilet at the rear, which is not an issue for these mid-life vehicles. Andrews of Tideswell had the first one of these in 2014, and this is the only other one I have encountered, almost on my doorstep. Travel Master of Carrington had run this one for two years in original condition, and still in Megabus blue, but it turned up at York racecourse in July fully repainted - and a bit shorter ! It is still a 65-seater, though.
Westbound Train #57 crosses the Hackensack River at Upper Hack drawbridge on its way to Port Jervis.
The bridge currently holds the title of the newest movable bridge on NJ Transit property. It was built by the Delaware Lackawanna & Western in 1958 to replace the original two-track span that was outdated and damaged by tidal river currents. The expenses related to building this bridge were among the final straws to break the camels back for the Lackawanna Railroad that would eventually result in the official merger of the Erie and the Lackawanna in October of 1960.

The Matrix is still one of my favourite films. In the downtime over Christmas and New Year I was inspired to shoot this strobist selfie because my brother had so many old computer monitors lying around. I was travelling light with just one speedlight, a set of wireless triggers, but no filters or other light modifiers and so had to improvise.
Strobist info:
The key light was a Nikon SB28 at 1/64th power placed on the desk behind the laptop and the main screen, pointing up at the subject. An offcut from a green/blue plastic bag was used to provide the greenish tinge and the lenshood of my 24-70mm lens was used as a snoot to limit the spill. The computer screens actually provided very little light. Triggered wirelessly using a Yongnuo YN-622N trigger

I know MOCpages doesn't mean much to a lot of you anymore, but I know a lot of you had your start in the LEGO community there. I don't know what I did to piss somebody off, but I seem to be in someone's crosshairs. For now, it's still civil in so much as that MOCs have not been deleted, but they changed the e-mail and the password. I do have a way to hack my way back in, but you know, it's just not worth it right now.
And of course it's right in the middle of the Eight Piece Building Challenge which I have helped spread the word about. I also recently helped someone to upload creations to the site. Yeah, the site is broken, hence why I am being hacked, but far be it from me to try and bolster activity for those that actually want to populate the site.
A few weeks ago, I had been removed from the Eight Piece Building Challenge group after sharing the news of its return. About a week ago, I gave Ben Cossy a proper critique on his latest MOC, Breathless, which is beautiful by the way, but I wanted to give him some fair opinions and suggestions for improvements; that comment was deleted not of Ben's or my own volition. And just a few days ago, my e-mail had been changed, but the password had not so I was able to get right back in. Clearly I am being watched and they've retaliated with more action. I never made a big stink about it because of how quickly I was able to get back to work, but now I can't even write comments in groups telling people what's happened.
With the news about Flickr's photo limitations for free users, I planned to use MOCpages now more than ever until a new platform arose. I already used MOCpages a lot to store all my photos and go in more depth with details, but it's no longer a safe place. Luckily, I'm a hoarder and have backlogs on all my photos, but not all the text and details. If the hack goes further, all that information is gone. But I guess the plan to use it even more is out the window.
Like I said, I do have a way where I could gain control again, but the hacker knows the same tricks, so it would just be a never ending loop. I could even create a new account with a different e-mail, but I imagine the second I was found out, that, too, would be hacked. So I guess this is good-bye to MOCpages for all those that want to see whatever is left. I'm not deleting anything. I'll leave being a dick to the dick that likes to hack people. Here's a LINK to my homepage.
