Goofing off with a shot I have taken 100s of times. In this case I set the exposure for 2 seconds and panned with the shutter open to give the motion look. There was very little post processing with this shot.

The sun here in Florida in summers sets really late like @ 8:30/8:45 during the social hrs so that sometimes creates problems as the sunset hr is my ideal preferred shooting time. After dropping my mom, I decided to wait 30 mins for the sunset. I think this was taken like 5 mins before the sunset but this was the last flight and it was about to leave. Anyways it was an ordinary sunset, I just wished the sky was more interesting but oh well.
As always comments, feedback, favorites, notes etc highly appreciated and don't be afraid of any constructive criticism.

Double key light here - one small round softbox with grid overhead, with a blue gel, with a larger silver brolly, with the same blue gel to the left and up with the key - to extend the wash of blue at a lower intensity down the model's figure. In the back are orange gelled lights with standard 7" reflectors, a 30 degree grid and barn doors ether side, plus a centre, back-light behind Taylor with a purple gel.
Fog is rolling out of my DIY chiller stage left, sticks to the floor until it heats up upon contact with the model.
... because he has just been told that it won't be dinner time for three hours yet, and he doesn't know what an "hour" is.

In 1992, successful San Francisco restaurant entrepreneur Robert Carey decided that the Sierra Nevada town of Truckee, Calif., where he owned a second home, was ripe for a restaurant that offered great food at affordable prices.
“There just wasn’t anything available in Truckee at the time,” Carey explains. “Then I thought: ‘let’s bring a classic American diner to Truckee.’ I always say there are no accidents and on the very same day I picked up the Wall Street Journal and read an article about a man who was saving these historic diners from the wrecking ball.”
After much research, Carey found the Birmingham Grille, a 1948 Kullman diner that was for sale outside of Philly. Eventually the diner was delivered to its new Truckee home. Carey and his son Andy took on the task of the meticulous 1.2 million restoration.
On December 6, 1995 Andy’s Truckee Diner opened its doors for business. In yet another incarnation,Bob Carey met up with Bud Haley, a Bay Area restaurant and gourmet market executive who had moved his family to Tahoe. Haley purchased the business and quickly rallied a crew of passionate culinary professionals who shared his vision.
“We care about the food, but what we really care about is the people,” Haley says. “There will always be a place for that no matter what. The diner flourished during the Depression and we plan to see JAX flourish now – I believe classic Americana will never go out of style.”
Meet Jax! I had the pleasure of photographing this handsome German Shepherd/Collie mix yesterday. He was born around May 20th, 2015.

"Jax is truly a miracle! He came to our rescue from a high kill shelter very sick and emaciated. He was literally near death and with the help of the wonderful vets we work with and amazing volunteers this sweet boy has made a full recovery. Today Jax has gained back his weight, is feeling better than ever and is loving every minute with his foster family. He is undeniably one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. He loves to snuggle and cuddle with his foster parents. Enjoys playing with his foster's bigger dog. He favorite toys are definitely the ones he can chew on. His foster parents say he is doing great with house and crate training. They are working on basic commands like sit and stay and say Jax is a quick learner. Jax would do best in a home were someone is home more often than not and one with a fenced in yard for him to run and play in. Jax is waiting for his forever family to find him. He currently weighs around 20lbs and will weigh around 50lbs full grown. His adoption donation includes his current vaccines, microchip and neuter.

Welcome to Jax at the tracks in Truckee California conveniently located adjacent to a major rail line. If you're looking for an old school diner experience this is the place for you. There's nothing like the flavor of good old cooking grease that has commingled with everything that sizzles on the grill.
The diner is actually constructed out of an old 1948 Kullman diner car that was transported over 4000 miles from Philadelphia.
Buff says 4 stars--check it out and make sure you hold on to your coffee cup when those trains rumble by.
Truckee, CA
I took Jax to Cefn Ila today. There being no-one else on site, I let him off the lead, and he was great, hurtling about but coming back when called. He had a fantastic time.
This is him coming back when i called to him.
Meet Jax, version 2. Freshly back from the grooming salon, minus a great deal of hair and looking utterly different. I was rather shocked initially, but I'm now liking the new look. Turns out he is a Patterdale Terrier, much to our surprise. Rather pleased. Jax seems to like this new development too. Probably because he can see where he is going now...
Amazing bass player and over all musician, Jax Ravel, from Madagascar. This is one of the images for his upcoming album.

New Orleans (French: La Nouvelle-Orléans) is a consolidated city-parish located along the Mississippi River in the southeastern region of the U.S. state of Louisiana. With an estimated population of 393,292 in 2017, it is the most populous city in Louisiana. A major port, New Orleans is considered an economic and commercial hub for the broader Gulf Coast region of the United States.
New Orleans is world-renowned for its distinct music, Creole cuisine, unique dialect, and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras. The historic heart of the city is the French Quarter, known for its French and Spanish Creole architecture and vibrant nightlife along Bourbon Street. The city has been described as the "most unique" in the United States, owing in large part to its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. Founded in 1718 by French colonists, New Orleans was once the territorial capital of French Louisiana before being traded to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. New Orleans in 1840 was the third-most populous city in the United States, and it was the largest city in the American South from the Antebellum era until after World War II. The city's location and flat elevation have historically made it very vulnerable to flooding. State and federal authorities have installed a complex system of levees and drainage pumps in an effort to protect the city.
New Orleans was severely affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which resulted in flooding more than 80% of the city, thousands of deaths, and so much displacement because of damaged communities and lost housing as to cause a population decline of over 50%. Since Katrina, major redevelopment efforts have led to a rebound in the city's population. Concerns about gentrification, new residents buying property in formerly closely knit communities, and displacement of longtime residents have been expressed.
The city and Orleans Parish (French: paroisse d'Orléans) are coterminous. As of 2017, Orleans Parish is the third most-populous parish in Louisiana, behind East Baton Rouge Parish and neighboring Jefferson Parish. The city and parish are bounded by St. Tammany Parish and Lake Pontchartrain to the north, St. Bernard Parish and Lake Borgne to the east, Plaquemines Parish to the south, and Jefferson Parish to the south and west.
The city anchors the larger New Orleans metropolitan area, which had an estimated population of 1,275,762 in 2017. It is the most populous metropolitan area in Louisiana and the 46th-most populated MSA in the United States.
No matter how many EVAs you do, it’s NEVER just casual when you venture outside of the space station. After all, it’s the most extreme environment human beings have ever been exposed to. Shane, the team and myself are focused for round 3 today
Peu importe le nombre de fois où on sort de la Station spatiale, ça ne devient JAMAIS une routine. C’est quand même l’environnement le plus extrême auquel l'être humain ait jamais été exposé. Shane, l’équipe et moi : tout le monde est entièrement concentré pour le match 3.

This building was the former site of Jax brewery in New Orleans. In the heyday of local breweries this was the home of one of three major breweries in NOLA. Now renovated as a complex of restaurants and high end retail shops.
Meet Jax. He is our new dog, collected today from the RSPCA centre in Gorseinon.
Jax is 6 and half years old, a terrier cross, and just needs a bit of care and attention and more exercise than he was getting. he clearly has a lovely temperament, and is responsive. Tracy and I are both delighted with him. He is alert and inquisitive but polite and gentle. he is going to be a great friend and companion for the next decade or so.
