The old corn cribs were designed so the equipment can pull through and unload, then the equipment stored over winter for protection. Over the years the corn cribs evolved to outpost garages and junk collections in the fileds.

Seen in a ‘Lakeland’ shop this week.

NO! Stop. That implement is for removing stones from cherries, not cracking hazelnuts!

Happy LCOF everyone.

Because of the safety measures implemented during Covid-19, there is a reduced collection of downtown Springfield, Mo regulars. Some, such as these couple of skate boarders, utilize the ghost town as a surrogate for their otherwise closed usual hang-outs.

 

I appreciate Dominic and his friend for inviting me to shoot them during their trick boarding session.

And now for something completely different. I was struck by the light and shadow on these implements in a mug on the kitchen counter.

 

Hope you are enjoying a beautiful week. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

This is a small sample of old farm implements preserved in perfect condition!

Former tractors, harvester, and other farm implements.

 

Camera: Beacon Two-Twenty-Five, a low-end 1950s plastic camera with a 70mm doublet lens. The focus is fixed and ranges from about 5 1/2 feet to infinity. The shutter, at around 1/50 second, is best for daylight shots, but even small movements (such as the horse's ear) can result in blur. Overall, the camera is quite fun to shoot and I was very pleased at the quality of image produced by the doublet lens. The camera is called the "Two-Twenty-Five" because it produces 2.25-inch square images.

 

A fascinating history of the company which produced the Beacon can be found at Mike Eckman's website: mikeeckman.com/2023/07/beacon-two-twenty-five-1950/

 

Film: 120-size Arista 100 ISO, respooled onto a 620 reel.

 

Developing: Kodak HC-110, Dilution B, 6 min.

When I begun to process this exposure bracketing, I thought that I knew what I wanted to attain. I was perfectly wrong. Indeed, these RAW files kept a few secret bits of beauty which I was not aware of when I selected them for processing – and they changed the course of the journey I had foreordained.

 

I was in a gloomy mood, for both personal and general concerns, and the RAWs looked rather duller than the average – taken: they appeared to accurately mirror the state of my soul. At worst, I would have wasted some hours of pointless procesing work before deciding to look for something better. Nobody would have known. However things were to contradict my expectations. I got some good news (a rarity in those tough days) about the health conditions of my brother and my “adopted brother-in-law” (i.e. my brother’s brother-in-law); on the other hand, Darktable – that wonderful software – gifted me with a few unanticipated treasures. My thoughts were growing more and more positive and the processing of this bracketing were proceeding accordingly: a hidden beauty was unfolding before me, my own persisting unawareness of it notwithstanding. At last I found myself with a picture that had apparently self-processed itself*, while I was busy exploring uncharted thoughts that kept emerging along the way

  

* Admittedly a bizarre phenomenon, which Maurits Cornelius Escher would have loved – think of his Drawing hands.

 

I would avoid to nag you about this incredibly wonderful location: you can take a look at my album Silent banks, the complete collection of the photos I have taken there; the attached narratives are rich in information about the place, if you are curious enough.

This location is especially renowned for its legendary morning mists, but only a thin layer of milky mist floated above the water that morning. On top of the hill in the distance, beyond the river, lays the sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca ( = Madonna of the Rock), already brushed by the first light pouring from the Eastern horizon.

 

I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.

I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. In this picture I have exploited this technique in a very frugal, yet effective, way – just some touches where needed.

RAW files has been processed with Darktable. Denoising with DFine 2 and the Gimp (denoised and original images blended by lightness).

A seguito dell'implementazione del sistema di sicurezza ETCS lungo l'asse alpino del San Gottardo le Br185 che DB adoperava abitualmente su questo itinerario dovettero essere distolte dall'abituale servizio per permettere la progressiva installazione dei sistemi necessari. SBB Cargo e DB Schenker siglarono pertanto un accordo commerciale per lo "scambio" di una parte delle proprie dotazioni.

Mentre quindi una decina di Br185 vennero assegnate ai servizi "domestici" delle Ferrovie Federali elvetiche, prevalentemente assegnate al deposito di Zurich Limathal, SBB sostituì fino allo scorso cambio d'orario, le TRAXX tedesche con le proprie locomotive su tutti i convogli che dalla Germania si dirigevano in Ticino ed Italia.

Nella foto la Re4/4.11183 sta proprio trainando sul San Gottardo uno dei convogli forse più indelebilmente associati alle Br185 tedesche, il "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza. (30/10/15)

 

In the last months the DBS Br185.1s used along the Gotthard route had been withdrawed due to the ETCS implementation.

While some loks were working with SBB in domestic freight activities around Zurih Limathal, some Re10/10 were employed to haul also the DBS international trains from Basel to Chiasso.

Beyond the many mixed freight from Mannheim, also the "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza had been entrusted to the Swiss loks.

Here the Re4/4.11183 and a Re6/6 are running just before the Biaschina Loops heading the southbound train. (30/10/15)

All in a row, implements of days gone by. Ranch northern Wyoming.

Oopsie at Northtown. Preserved this just in Case.

Implements from the founding of the mission in 1792 hang on the walls of the adobe walkway.

This doodlebug started its life as a 1933 Chevrolet coupe, but a farm in northern Indiana transformed into the farm implement you see here . It is tentatively going to be restored.

how 'bout a few Implements ...

Gasconade County Threshers

Missouri

Last summer I shared a story about my magical encounter with a Short-eared Owl and subsequent experiences that taught me a valuable lesson in file storage, disk failure and its ultimate restoration. Files can't always be restored, and it took me more than three years to recover these. I'll never forget my awe when sharing a private moment with this beautiful owl. Even better, I'm so grateful that I have the photos, once again, to remember the details. More about this tale, my 2020 peregrine experience that led me to recover these photos and my lessons learned my blog "Lost and Found and the Shot-eared Owl". Photographed #OnThisDay February 17, 2017.

Sitting in an area close to a museum growing moss never to be used again.

With temperatures well below zero during the overnights, NSM implemented their cold weather operating pattern of running shorter, but more frequent, trains. A heads up from Mel Wilson noted that the leased SD9043MACs were down with various ailments and that NSM had two three-unit SD40-type sets in service (apparently the GEs are still down).

 

With this knowledge Gus and I made the trip north to milepost 23 after having spent time shooting boats in Two Harbors earlier in the morning. Based on radio detector transmissions it became apparent that empties and loads were both on the move. The first to arrive was the empty set behind gray 661 and nice (figures) 651 trailing. I'm not sure what happened to the third SD40 in this set. The weather was a mix of sun, ice fog and snow showers.

 

As the empties rolled past creating a moving ground blizzard, the loads came into view and the two met just west of the overpass. Of course what should be leading the loads but 662 with nice (figures) 652 in the middle. In Mel's defense, he did tell me that both the gray beasts had burned-out ditch lights. Not sure what it is about NSM, but there always seems to be at least one unit with a burned-out ditch light. Payback I guess for nailing the SD90s in fresh snow and sun earlier this winter.

 

Oh, the detector at MP 34 reported an air temp of -17F. Both trains had around 110 cars versus the normal 156.
