CP 7308 pulls into Manhattan with the CP geometry train while NS 4708 sits dead on the BH-45 local. I had received word the day before of the geo train's run on the SWS and the Rock, and my original intention was to shoot it on the Rock. After hearing that it wouldn't be until extremely late at night, I decided to try shooting it at Manhattan, just in case the BH-45 was sitting there so I could shoot the geo train passing it. Well the planets aligned tonight and the BH-45 was sitting waiting for a new crew. The result is a scene I NEVER thought I would see. 3/28/16
This picture was taken on the Farne Islands and has been shown on Flickr with the intention of presenting the different shapes of the Artic Tern
My intention was to create a frosty panoramic scene but I made a mistake and did not take any photos of the foreground.So instead of not using it I added a frosty glass reflection in photoshop to create a frozen lake.
Intention: My intention with this photo was to demonstrate strong, dramatic mood through color, weather and light.
Reference to the Reading: David DuChemin talks about how strong color contrast introduces stronger visual mass to the contrasting element, pulling the eye with greater strength.
Outcome: I'd say this photo was a success. I had a few ideas of how to go about editing this photo but decided with a desaturated photo with a color grade added. I think this process really helped to create the mood I was looking for. I also really like how the composition shows almost a yin-yang of light, harmonizing and balancing the photo.
Edits: +Contrast, -Blacks, +Texture, +Clarity, -Vibrance, -Saturation, +Sharpen, +Noise Reduction, Color Grading for shadows/Midtones/Highlights, and +Vignette.
The intention was to photograph the mural behind this lady, which lay on the ground in front of this wall.
She saw the cameras and asked if she could pose. She did this with great pleasure and pride.
My intention with this autoportrait was to have all my face in focus and that all my face was visible in the picture but it came out like that (I cannot control very well the focus for autoportrait...I think that I will have to buy a remote)Anyway, I like it like that, it makes the earring the important thing in the picture. I cropped a little bit to make it square and try to give it a retro look with these colors. I have made a sepia and a black and white version, maybe I will upload them too. By the way, I used a bounced flash as well

My intention yesterday had been to get a long shot of Stanier Black 5 44871 \s it passed through South Wigston with the 5Z38 10.30 from Orton Mere to the ELR at Bury. However the slight late running meant that a Turbostar running to Leicester prevented that option
Museums - The British Museum
The British Museum was founded as a ‘Universal Museum’. Its beginnings are bequeathed from the will of Sir John Sloane. He amassed 71,000 items, manuscripts, books and many natural history items. He has a statue in the London Physic Garden, Chelsea.
In 1753 King George II gave his Royal Assent to build the Museum, the body of trustees chose Montagu House for its location. This was purchased from the family for £20,000. Ironically Buckingham Palace was rejected as being too expensive and the location, unsuitable.
The first exhibition for scholars was opened in January 1759. In those early days, the Library took up the whole of the ground floor, the first floor a large part was taken up by the Natural History collection.
In 1763 the Natural History collection was reclassified using the Linnaean System, after Carl Linnaeus, famous Swedish botanist. This made the Museum a centre of learning for European natural history scholars.
In the oncoming years there were many new additions particularly in the Library, David Garrick plays (approx. 1000) were one example but it wasn’t until 1772 when the first real quantities of antiques were purchased. This was the collection of Greek vases from Sir William Hamilton. More items came into the Museum. In 1778 objects from Capt. Cooks round-the-world voyages were brought back and donated. By the early 1800’s it was clear that further growth was not possible, furthermore there were signs of decrepitude and overcrowding.
In 1802 a building committee was set up. The upshot was that the Old Montague House was demolished and work began on the new building in 1823. It’s original intention was for a Library and Picture Gallery but this was changed because another new gallery was commissioned in 1824 (The National Gallery). So this building now housed the Natural History collection, the building work was completed in 1831.
Whilst this building work was going on items still came into the museum. In 1802 King George presented the Museum with the Rosetta Stone, (this was the key that opened the lock to deciphering hieroglyphs). In this period from 1802 – 1820 there were many gifts and purchases of Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Assyrian and Babylonian sculpture.
Because of the overwhelming number of objects coming into the museum, it was decided to move the whole of the natural history collection to The Natural History Museum in Kensington. In 1847 over 20,000 books were bequeathed by Sir Thomas Grenville (former trustee). These arrived in horse-draws carts, all 20 of them.
From 1840 – 1900 there were many new sources of objects coming into the Museum. Partial Tombs from ancient Lycia, more Assyrian artefacts from excavations, a valuable collection of antiquities belonging to the Duke of Blacas, (this collection the French government at the time refused to buy so instead it was sold to the Museum for FFr1.2m in 1867). In 1881 came a collection of armour, from William Burges and in 1897 another bequest, this time of Finger rings, drinking vessels, porcelain, Japanese inro and netsuke from A. W. Franks, curator and collector.
More pressure for room for the ever expanding collection culminated in the purchase of 69 surrounding houses. The first stage of construction began in 1906.
Over the years there have been many changes to the internal rooms in the museum itself. The Classical and Near East, The Duveen Gallery which was destroyed during WWII, now bought back to its best.
Notable additions to the museum include in 1939 ‘The Sutton Hoo’ treasures from the Anglo Saxon burial ship. In 1972 The Tutankhamun Treasures exhibition attracted over 1.6 million people. Also in that year Parliament passed a resolution to establish a British Library. This was a real necessity as 1.25 miles of new shelving was needed to house the books coming into the Museum on a yearly basis. However it wasn’t until 1997 that the books actually left. Redevelopment of the space took place and was opened in 2000 as the ‘Queen Elizabeth II Great Court’.
From those original days of 1753, the British Museum has 13 million items, The natural History Museum 70 million and the British Library has 150 million. An impressive collection of items. I have merely scratched the surface. Definitely worth the visit and don’t forget, it’s F R E E.
I had no intention or doing any shooting this particular morning. I had to drop off my truck for some routine service so instead of sitting around I took a stroll around downtown and then met a friend for coffee and a fabulous breakfast at Burgundian
But after breakfast I was going to leave when I saw CSXT local L007 pop out onto the corridor to head down to East Junction. So despite the gray misty weather I ran down there for one shot then came back to the platform to await their return east. Since I was here anyway I grabbed this shot of Amtrak Boston to Washington regional train 173 approaching MP 197 on Track 1 of Amtrak's New Haven Line with the standard ACS64 and eight car string of Amfleets.
At center right in the background, barely visible behind the clutter of catenary poles and the signal on Track 4 for BORO interlocking, is the old wooden tower that was known as SS165 in New Haven Railroad days. Allegedly constructed in 1898, it was relocated here when the NH undertook their massive grade separation project through town and built their two new stations between 1903 and 1906. This tower also holds the distinction of being the last in service on the corridor in the state, not closing down until 1993. Amazingly it survives nearly three decades later despite regular reports of its imminent demise.
At left stands the brick Second Congregational Church that was constructed in 1904 on Park Street looking over this scene. The congregation dates from 1748 and is a daughter church of the First Congregational Church in the old town section of North Attleborough. This is actually the third structure in which congregants have gathered. Originally located in a meeting house on what is now the common, Second Congregational had a stately white clapboard building built in 1825 which was removed in the early 1950s to make way for the addition of a new Fellowship Hall and education rooms. The clock in the tower of this third building was owned originally by the city but now belongs to the church and seems to be keeping perfect time.

The Intention of taking this photograph was to capture the dummy-like anemone with its inhabitants. This is the outcome. If you look on the right side you´ll notice with a bit of creativity the dummy anemones. I really like how they begin to glow when lit by sunlight. As always: Hope you like it.
My intention today was to visit Cwm Caseg and make my way up Yr Elen’s Northern Ridge but the best laid plans etc…
I made my way deeper and deeper into Cwm Llafar, looking for a place to cross the river and couldn’t find one that I liked. Before long the atmosphere grew and the grandeur of my surroundings became almost overwhelming with Llech Ddu and the Black Ladders towering above.
I sat awhile in perfect solitude photographing a wonderful cascade with the nagging feeling that the day would be wasted unless I topped out on one the peaks beneath which I sat. I toyed with the Crib Lem scramble but strangely felt unnerved and very alone.
After an hour a lone figure appeared on the horizon, “He’s got to be going up Crib Lem” I thought to myself. When he finally arrived we said our hellos and yes, he was intending to do the scramble, “Let’s do it together mate” he said.
And so it went that Aaron and I had a great day together which could have ended very badly when a large rock I stepped up on became detached from the mountain giving me a real scare…luckily I was on bomber jugs but the rest of the ascent was a nervy one.
This shot is of Aaron on Mynydd Ddu on our descent with Yr Elen and Carnedd Llywelyn across Cwm Llafar with our ridge scramble on the right of the frame.
My original intention was to try out a new patch, which I did and try and find some butterflies I had seen the day before, which I didn't, so it was plan b, which involved a couple of large spiders near the river. I found then both but there were in very difficult positions to get a clean photo, so came up with this close-up on this female Garden Spider.
Best viewed very large.

I had no intention or doing any shooting this particular morning. I had to drop off my truck for some routine service so instead of sitting around I took a stroll around downtown and then met a friend for coffee and a fabulous breakfast at Burgundian.
But after breakfast I was going to leave when I saw CSXT local L007 pop out onto the corridor to head down to East Junction. So despite the gray misty weather I ran down there for one shot then came back to the platform to await their return east since on a sunny day they are impossible to shoot since the locomotives are always terribly backlit.
They made very quick work down at East Junction account they had no cars to spot and only two empties to pull out of Teknor Apex, do by the time I made it down here they were already done and locking up the gate. Here they are paused on the branch as they do a quick air test and wait for clearance from the Amtrak dispatcher to get out on Main 4 for a quick three mile dash down the Northeast Corridor back to BORO interlocking. The trio of GP40-2s 6206, 6249 and 6218 were built for the Chessie Sytem as BO 4307, BO 4350 and WM 4319 in Feb. 1978, Apr. 1978 and Jan. 1978 respectively. This section of track is some of the oldest in the nation and has a fascinating history that I've written about before. If you missed that check out the captions with these two photos:

On Friday I had no intention of getting in any photography as the day was devoted to a bike ride with my dad. We met in Connecticut to do a rail trail that was new to us and bike 32 miles round trip on the Hop River Trail from Willimantic to Bolton Notch and return along the old Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Route a one time secondary New Haven mainline that felt the weight of its last train in September of 1970. If you're a cyclist and into ghost foaming I highly recommend it as the trail has many worthwhile relics to explore along the way including tons of telegraph poles, many original bridges, a cool stone arch, deep cuts, old whistle posts and more!
Anyway, upon return in the mid afternoon I noticed that New England Central Railroad 608 hadn't returned home from Palmer yet. Since a friend had told me that 3857 was in the lead I decided to to look for them. Alas I missed them by seconds at the South Coventry depot so doubled back for some shots of them in Willimantic. Looking down off the Columbia Road bridge, they are seen here working the big Willimantic Waste facility adjacent their small office located in that old house to the right at about MP 29.5 on the Palmer Sub, the former Central Vermont mainline.
NECR 3857 (EMD GP38AC blt. Apr. 1971 as Gulf, Mobile and Ohio 730) in the lead is the last original blue and gold unit in service on the property dating from the road's 1995 startup. She is trailed by NECR 3040 (GMDD GP40-2LW blt. Sep. 1974 as CN 9495) in Rail America colors and NECR 417 (EMD GP40-2 blt. Oct. 1972 as FEC 417) in battered Florida East Coast blue.

My intention was to get a long exposure image of the foutain right across the street from the Mariott Hotel and I came away with some interesting variations of light in this part of the city. Street lights, hotel rooms, blue hour light against exterior buildings...

My intention was to photograph Surfers Paradise nightlights (modest as they are) with light reflected on the low lying cloud and to capture these and direct reflections off the sea as well. The surface waves, sea spray and mist all over seems to have stifled that. However, the effect worked a little on the wet sands around Currumbin Rock in the foreground. Live and learn! I still like the image.
chance operation + metaphysical intention = strange attraction
(an alternative perspective on the nature of chaos)
i find, at times, that my camera is making exposures that i did not intend. it does this quite a bit, actually - in between shots, on the way to my pocket, switching between camera apps, and so on. these amount, i think, to chance operations, very-close-to-random events that might be considered misfires and discarded were i an actual photographer. but i often find that i like these images, these tiny, overlooked subjects viewed from odd perspectives, blurred by movement, or, simply, out of focus and poorly exposed. so i take this raw material and begin to look more closely, searching for the treasure within, exploring what may lie in the shadows, just below the surface, or hidden in the cascading light. increase the exposure, lighten the shadows, increase the contrast, decrease the contrast, add color, remove color, smear pixels, sharpen the result, knead and shape the pixels, admitting little bits of sensor noise, like salt or leaven, to bring out distinct and tasty characteristics that are there, not there, then there again. and all the while, i watch in wonder. the heart of a something is slowly revealed. sometimes i am able to discern and articulate some meaning in what i see, sometimes not. i continue the conversation, the dance, the follow-me-slowly from here to there until my partner is no longer following my lead, instead choosing to stand on its own, asserting itself in some mysterious way. sigh. i suppose this is not really photography. or is it? does it really matter? there are things in life that i do not understand, cannot explain, that are beautiful and valuable and wholly themselves whether or not i can name them, whether or not i have the vocabulary, the memory to say 'behold the fill-in-the-blank-with-your-own-favorite-subject.' in the end, i think of these images, of this image, as an essence that somehow wanted to be captured, communicating through some arcane mechanism, some inexplicable connection with the tool i have at hand ... and with me. i like that.

Quite without any intention, I chose a favorite classic 80s pop song to go with this photo today. It never had any emotional meaning for me... until I read the lyrics to post here. When I read the verse quoted below, I took the meaning to heart.
I built this house with my partner 11 years ago. We split up a year ago, but still live here together. We have to let the house go, and let each other go eventually.
Neither will be easy.

"I remember way back then
When everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time
Such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play
Simply waste the day away
Then we'd say
Nothing would come between us
Two dreamers "

I had no intention of posting this capture because of the quality of the shot. The backlighting made it difficult to find some details in the shadows on the behemoth, but it is what it is. He merely wanted HIS favorite slide on this part of the bayou and wasn’t going to let me stop him. I was hoping for a better shot, but when he rested his head on the bank, those stems and grass below his head wrapped around his head and I didn’t want to post a shot of a headless gator even though it would have fit into the Halloween narrative. I might add that these characters don’t usually crawl out of the water with someone nearby, so he did want that spot on the bank in a bad way. American alligator climbing out of Horsepen Bayou.

NORITA 66と角島大橋と写真投稿休載のお知らせ
この写真は紹介するかどうか結構迷った。
僕は基本的には観光地はあまり紹介しない。深い意味はないけれど、単純に地元で気に入った風景などを写真に撮っているだけだからだ。千畳敷は観光地でもあるけれど、僕にとってはちょっとしたスイーツを食べる日常の場所でしかない。薄曇りだったので日頃写真などでは見慣れた角島大橋ではないのでまあいいかという気にもなった。僕は単なる天邪鬼なのかもしれない。薄雲というか靄があったようで、水平線も目で見た感じだとわかりにくく、遠くはぼやけ霞んでいた。平日ではあったがすでに夏休みの方も多かったようで、それなりに人出があった。
●
本来、この投稿は先週の月曜日に長門に帰還してから行うつもりで準備したものだ。あいにく、僕は最後の投稿後、心筋梗塞に襲われ救急車を手配し病院で手術を受けた。色々あったが全部をすっとばすと、先程点滴を外すことができた。正直、今後もさほど楽観を許す訳ではないがいますぐ死ぬということもおそらくないだろう。そのため、ようやく気力が出てきてこれを公開している。今後の復活は未定だ。復活しなかった場合は、僕が亡くなったかあるいは写真の投稿に飽きたということだろう。とはいっても、僕はすでに数日前から、CONTAX TVS、PORTRA 400で東京の病院の12階から観た風景を撮ったりしている。飽きることはおそらくないのだろうと思う。できなくなることはあるとしても。また、再開できる時を楽しみにしている。あなたもそうであると僕は嬉しい。
I originally prepared this post with the intention of doing so after my return to Nagato last Monday. Unfortunately, after my last post, I suffered a myocardial infarction and had to go to the hospital for an ambulance and underwent surgery. After all that happened, I was able to get the IV removed a short while ago. To be honest, I am not very optimistic about the future, but I am not sure that I am going to die right now. So, I finally have the energy to publish this. I have not yet decided whether I will revive it in the future. If I don't revive it, it will probably mean that I am dead or that I have had enough of posting photos. However, I have already been taking pictures of the view from the 12th floor of a hospital in Tokyo with my CONTAX TVS and PORTRA 400 for a few days now. I don't think I will ever get tired of it. Even though there will be times when I will not be able to do so. I am looking forward to the time when I will be able to do it again. I am happy if you are too.

My intention this morning was to set up a fun beach scene with my mini figures and they are quite challenging to work with. They don't really stand well and they are very poorly painted so using my extension tube on the macro lens really makes that obvious. Although this doesn't feel like what I envisioned play time is over, and I am posting to honor my project.

I had no intention or doing any shooting this particular morning. I had to drop off my truck for some routine service so instead of sitting around I took a stroll around downtown and the 10 Mile River and in the process noticed that the foliage was still surprisingly good at one of my favorite spots for photographing action on the Northeast Corridor. Given that there is little good foliage left around as a backdrop I figured it was worth a few frames. So after picking up the vehicle and first having breakfast I headed over to the inbound station platform for two trains before heading home to call it a night (err day).
First up was Wickford Junction bound Keolis/MBTA train 809 slowing for their station stop as they approach MP 197 on Track 3 of Amtrak's New Haven Line behind Wabtec rebuilt F40PH-3C 1061 originally built by EMD in 1987.
Just out of the frame at right center past signal for BORO interlocking, stands the old wooden tower that was known as SS165 in NH days. Allegedly constructed in 1898, it was relocated here when the NH undertook their massive grade separation project through town and built their two new stations between 1903 and 1906. This tower also holds the distinction of being the last in service on the corridor in MA, not closing down until 1993. Amazingly it survives a quarter century later despite regular reports of its imminent demise.

My intention was to produce the beautiful yellow blue combination. I planted the iris in the autumn when the aconites were underground so misjudged how far forward the latter were. There are more iris out of the picture. Either I will have to plant more of one kind or both or wait for them to multiply and intermingle which could take a long time.
Thank you to those who have made me their contact. Due to poor health, eye problems and low energy I regret I can't take on any new contacts but nearly always manage to reply to your comments. Please no more than 1 invite.
The intention had been to go for the shot looking down on Glenfinnan viaduct but we could hardly see it as the glen was shrouded in thick mist.Change of plan,we hoofed it to a spot higher up the bank and hoped for the best.62005 emerges into the sun,not sure exactly what Mr Hunt is gesturing to the gallery !!

My intention for the shot was to capture Mt. Shasta with elements of its surrounding the foreground. The goal was to create a sense of scale while providing a glimpse into what the life looks like in the foothills of a potentially active Volcano. I have seen MANY photographs of Mt. Shasta, but very few of them capture the surrounding elements to the extent I had envisioned. After driving around the mountain for 2 days, I finally located a potential spot I could shoot from. After speaking to the owner of the land, he agreed to let me photograph on his property, with the condition that I do not invite others to do the same. And this is the end result.
Intention: The Relief of Souls in Purgatory
“We pray that through the treasure of your Divine Son, and your own special merits and those of the saints, God may be mindful of our prayers on behalf of the suffering souls in purgatory and bring them into His Kingdom to love and serve Him forever.”

It was not really my intention to take photos to print or expose. I just went for a spin to test my new camera and lens in somewhat more complicated conditions than usual. And I did not go very far.
This is Llinars del Valles as seen from the roundabout before entering the city. As is logical and normal, it is absolutely forbidden to stop without a serious reason.
After a couple of laps to the roundabout to check that there was no danger for me or the others, I decided to make this photo that I had wanted to do for many years but I had never dared to stop the car in the middle of the circulation.
I went fast, just stop, go down, shoot and go whistling because it was not my intention to disturb anyone. But it was my picture pending.
Llinars is no architectural wonder. Perhaps with daylight what most stands out is the Montseny massif in the background. And that is what I tried to reflect in this image, although with the blue hour and its peaks with very little snow are not the most auspicious time.
The edition has not been easy, because with an iso so high, the amount of grain marring the image much, but at the end, has not been bad.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
En realidad no era mi intención hacer fotos para imprimir o exponer. Simplemente salí a dar una vuelta para probar mi nueva camara y objetivo en condiciones algo más complicadas de lo habitual. Y no fui muy lejos.
Esto es Llinars del Valles visto desde la rotonda que hay antes de entrara a la ciudad. Como es logico y normal, está absolutamente prohibido parar sin un motivo grave.
Después de dar un par de vueltas a la rotonda para comprobar que no habia ningún peligro ni para mi, ni para los demás, me decidí a hacer esta foto que llevo muchos años queriendo hacerla pero nunca me habia atrevido a parar el coche en medio de la circulación.
Fui rápido, apenas parar, bajar, disparar y salir pitando pues no era mi intención molestar a nadie. Pero era mi foto pendiente.
Llinars no es ninguna maravilla arquitectónica. Quizá con luz diurna lo que mas resalta es el macizo del Montseny al fondo. Y eso es lo que traté de reflejar en esta imagen, aunque con la hora azul y sus cumbres con muy poca nieve no sean el momento mas propicio.
La edición no ha sido facil, pues con un iso tan alto, la cantidad de grano afeaba mucho la imagen, pero al final, no ha quedado mal.
My original intention was to make a komekuburo, a Japanese-style drawstring bag with tabs along the top for the drawstring, to use when I need to carry my lunch. After I'd pieced and quilted my sides, I realized the darn thing was going to be ridiculously large for a lunch bag. Also, the top of a komkuburo doesn't completely close, so I hastened over to Ayumi's lunch bag tutorial for a save:
ayumills.blogspot.com/2010/08/tutorial-lunch-bag.html
Using her super easy to follow directions, I added a band around the top and a drawstring cover, and now I love it! It's weird and quirky, but so fun!
