The World is but a Canvas for our Imagination
- Henry David Thoreau
The weather around here lately has not been conducive to photographing wildlife or landscapes, so I’m focusing on developing my imagination and hoping to improve my artistic skills… which currently are nearly as innovative as a bag of rocks : )

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear.
Many thanks to all who take the time to comment and fav. I very much appreciate it.
Constructive criticism is welcome if it helps my photography improve.
Weather conditions improved in the late afternoon. This is a northwestward view from a hill that used to be the site for Chichijima's weather station.
The island in the left is Nishijima (西島, western island), while those in the right are Hyoutanjima (瓢箪島 gourd island), Anijima (兄島 older brother island), and Hitomarujima (人丸島).
According the climate data provided by Japan Meteorological Agency, average temperature of the coldest month in Chichijima is 18.5 degree Celsius, which means Chichijima has a tropical climate.
Annual precipitation of Chichijima is 1,296 mm, and the precipitation of the driest month is 51.6 mm, which means Chichijima has the tropical monsoon climate (Am) as compared to the humid subtropical climate (Cfa) in the Izu islands and the main island part of Tokyo.
Chichijima's climate is relatively dry judging from the Japanese standard; annual precipitation of downtown Tokyo is 1,530 mm.

Just playing with crops which sometimes improve things...just trying a bit of Bruce Percy-ish ideas......'cos the weather's rubbish. Assynt.
I like this image so much because of the beautiful gradient of the sky and the great color of the lights...but it was ruined by the bright lights brought by that Halogen Lamps on the roof.. any tips on how to improve this kind of thing?

Had to make the most of my wisteria while it's in bloom. This is three images blended together. I put a scarf behind the flowers to improve the background.

This 1960 Aston Martin DB4GT, driven by Urs and Arlette Muller, was sporting a set of black wire wheels at the Goodwood Revival instead of its usual Borrani silver set I've seen it with previously, adding a sense of menace to the car that was previously missing. It also looks like the suspension has been worked on as well, with the car sitting slightly lower than normal (although this may be the combination of wheels/offset/angle of shot that give this illusion).
I've struggled to find any information about this DB4GT, so don't know its provenance, although I think its likely to be a continuation/replica given that there were only 75 genuine DB4GT's produced, 6 of which were in the lightweight spec where aluminium was used along with some extensive drilling of solid parts and stripping of luxury items such as the radio, clock, window washer bottle and bumpers.
A number of standard DB4GT's were brought closer to the lightweight spec after they were produced, but its not clear how extensive this was in terms of fitting of aluminium panels or the drilling of the chassis members.
The DB4GT itself is shorter in the wheelbase by 5 inches compared to the regulat DB4, and features closed headlights abd the larger bonnet vent. In keeping with Aston Martins luxury ethos, the DB4GT's were still fitted with leather upholstery and wilton carpets, something I'm sure was soon replaced or removed by owners keen to further improve performance.

I have not had the best of luck with Fall in Arkansas. On our first year here, an early frost stole many trees of their foliage at the beginning of September. So Fall colors were lackluster at best. This time fall was a bit trickier; I kept an eye out for any early frost warning, and nothing showed up in my search. We made our first trip of the year to the Richland Creek Wilderness area and saw that fall colors were barely breaking through. In my naivety, I thought a week or so from now, we will have the perfect fall colors and planned a trip through Ozarks National Forest to the Talimena scenic drive in the Ouachita mountains. I am still not sure what happened, but almost all fall colors were gone by the time we went on the planned trip.
While on our earlier trip to Richland Creek, we came across this patch of the road with decent fall colors on both sides of the road. Usually, I would pass on a scene like this when I am driving, but something made me get out and take the image. It turns out this was the best fall colors photo I would take this fall. Well, at least it is improving each year.

Perhaps one of Germanys most famous statues stands on guard at the convergence of the mighty Mosel and Rhein rivers the Deutsches Eck (German Corner).
The Statue is a typical Prussian martial style equestrian statue of William I, the first German Emperor it was created in 1897 in gratitude after his death for being the Father of the modern Empire and the unification of Germany.
During WWII it was mistakenly destroyed by artillery when they mistook it for enemy troops and it remained just a plinth until 2 September 1993 when sculptor Raymond Kittl finished producing an improved replica created from bronze plates this time around instead of copper.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2 Lens processed in LR, PS luminosity masks and DXO Nik
Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.
After their overnight run from Medley, FL, FEC train 336 switches onto the Cemex City Point lead at CP City Point in Cocoa, FL.
CP City Point was rebuilt from its original configuration a few months prior to this photo. Originally, it was just the single main and the City Point lead with some standard vaders. Now, as you can see, there's a whole new main being built and two tracks that turn west off of the main to head toward Orlando for Brightline.
The last time I saw and captured this species (from a long distance, see below image) was in Spain 6 years ago....

The shot was taken at Hartlepool while on a week-long Eastern Region Railrover ticket, and features class 37 unit 37160 hauling a rake of COVHOPS, possibly carrying lime destined for the nearby Steetley Works from Thrislington or Coxhoe Quarry.
Above the loco can be seen the floodlights of the Victoria Ground, home of Hartlepool United FC and, to the left of that, is the dog track - now demolished and replaced by a Morrisons food store. The signal box is just visible through the girders of the barn-like structure on the right.
In the brake van the Guard has his coat hung up, and he's no doubt thinking about the imminent arrival and any tasks he needs to perform before signing off.
The station and surroundings were looking pretty uncared for by this time, hardly unusual for the period. Even so, I suspect there would still be a queue to go back and take a few more snaps, should the opportunity ever come up!

Trees improve air quality
Forests help purify drinking water
One large tree is a day's worth of oxygen for up to four people!
"A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away,
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark
But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around."
Water tower in Dixon, California. They are in every town in the Central Valley. I was watching Alex Kilbee of The Photographic Eye on his YouTube channel and his video “3 Easy Exercises to Improve Photography Skills.” I drove out into the countryside with the dogs and two cameras, just shooting everyday things here. Got as legally close as I could to the water tower and took a shot in color and liked it. Then took a black and white shot with a blue filter and liked it better. Well, that’s all there is.
On a cold cold evening ... Arkon has what appears to be an allergy to fleas. He was at the vet a few weeks ago and we came home with a treatment. He has been a very itchy boy and mutilating himself whilst engaging in strange aggressive grooming and has had to wear a cone for far too long to stop him from this behaviour. His back is healed up, but the itching is slow to abate. So this evening we got steroids to help stop the itching. He has been slowly improving since the flea treatment. The steroids will hopefully clear up the itching very quickly.
I shared the video of my practice on Instagram, www.instagram.com/p/CX2XMO0BKcg/. I’m still a beginner but I’m improving a little bit at a time.

Running on track 2 due to track 1 being out of service for maintenance, a passenger test extra, with freshly rebuilt CTrail GE P40BH 6711 and five cars, makes its way south on a dismal afternoon in Wallingford. 6711 is former New Jersey Transit 4803 and Amtrak 820, which was built in July of 1993. The 12 Connecticut Department of Transportation P40s are being overhauled and repainted at Amtrak's Beech Grove Shops in Indiana.

One of my favorite film shots I took on my short trip lately.
This shot was taken with a Canon F-1 with a FD 50mm 1:1.4 (chrome nose) on a FUJI Fujicolor 200 135/36 film.
I'm very impressed how those pictures came out. Unfortunately only those I didn't use the waist level view finder of this camera. There I still have to improve my skills haha

Original title “Working Girl” was inappropriate. Looked back at all my photos that year and asked myself what I liked best, and why. This is the type photo for a core theme—images resolving contradictions. In this case, order and chaos, as the woman cleans the window of a clock shop with a perfectly horizontal squeegee stroke in a sea of bubbles. Love her contemplative expression, and the clutter of urban reflections superimposed on the orderly interior of a Viennese clock seller.
