BHPIO loaded Yandi iron ore with 6077-5645 assisted by mid-train 6074 (just visible on the far curve) passing the 225km near Shaw on September 5, 2002.

 

6077 was the last of the 8 GE Erie US-built AC6000 locos, a short-lived class that were built in early 1999 and all scrapped 15 years later in 2014.

Here’s another photo from the amazing PhotoWalk in Paris. This was supposed to be the end of the walk, but it ended up being the halfway point!

 

In post-processing this one, I made the Louvre feel a little more warm and inviting, while the outside stayed a bit more cold and foreboding. I edited this one in front of a live class in Christchuch… I hope people enjoyed that bit ! :) Not all of my edits were successful that day, but I think this one turned out alright.

I drove through the mountains this afternoon back to school from a wedding I shot yesterday. I'm so incredibly excited to edit my wedding pictures: it's my first official wedding. It was nervewracking, but fun.

 

August is spring in our mountains. There's still banks of snow melting slowly on the hillside, the wildflowers are just now emerging, and there's a beautiful, ever so slight, fresh chill to the air. If it weren't buried in 12 feet of snow every winter, it would be a beautiful place to live.

 

Classes start tomorrow. Humpf.

Summer went so fast.

A live class of my (local) portrait workshop (most classes are still online, and all of them are for the international edition). It was in a bar in Avenida de Mayo, the historical center of Spanish immigrant culture in Buenos Aires (legend has it that during the civil war, republicans were on one side of the avenue, and fascists on the other!) I also shot some pictures in 35mm film. I hope to have those soon.

The color scheme comes from the spilt complementary color harmony rule. I had a picture of the bar with this brown/orange hue, and light blue appeared like a nice combination. My student César got the blue-colored jacket and book!

Lens: 7artisans 75mm f/1.25 (beautiful Sonnar type lens).

She is a first division volleyball player, a talented photographer (and a geek who creates Lightroom presets!). She is also a student in my portrait workshop (still mostly online), and I invited her to be the subject in a live class.

Here I picked my treasured 85mm vintage Sonnar lens for a close shot, and quickly set up a butterfly lighting scheme with light coming from the street and a white reflector over the table, in clamshell fashion.

Short lived class 210 unit 210001 accelerates away from Didcot with the 12:47 service to Oxford on 7th June 1984

 

Intended to replace the first generation diesel mechanical units, the class comprised only 2 units, one 3 car and the 4 car unit shown here, both with electric transmission. As part of the initial evaluation, each set was equipped with a different diesel power plant; 210001 with a Paxman 1104hp unit.

 

Ultimately, they were deemed too complex with the added disadvantage of the loss of passenger space due to the location of the prime mover compared to underfloor designs such as the class 15x units.

A freshly repainted Western D1015 Western Champion heads to Paddington from the West country, passing one of the very short lived Class 14 locos making up a pick up goods train in the yard ...

At the end of my Creative Live class when I finished making this series, I printed each image for a segment we filmed about how to print your images. During the wrap party, I gifted a print to each student and central crew member as a thank you for all the hard work that was put in. To my surprise, each person wanted a different print. No two people asked for the same one. It was a great lesson in seeing how different people are impacted by different things; how the smallest detail can draw someone in, how our experiences contribute hugely to how we interpret art.

 

I had felt a little down on this image, like it wasn't a big enough concept, or maybe like it fell flat in some way. But when I gifted it to Sarit, an in-studio audience member / friend, I saw it through her eyes. I saw why she loved it and it made me love it, too. Our art only contains one story if we keep it to ourselves. When we give our art to others it becomes imbued with their stories too, and what a gift that is. To see the world through someone else's experience - that is why I love sharing what I do.

Nikon a-t-il une surprise dans sa manche pour un futur proche ? Il se peut très bien qu'une petite erreur dans un article récent partagé sur le profil Weibo de Nikon China semble le faire croire …

 

Does Nikon have a surprise up its sleeve for the near future ? It very well may if a little slip-up in a recent post shared to Nikon China’s Weibo profile is to be believed …

 

Dans un article faisant la promotion de la classe « Creative Camp Live de Nikon China, Nikon China » a partagé quatre images, toutes vraisemblablement prises avec des systèmes d'appareils photo Nikon à monture Z. Bien qu'assez anodine, une image en particulier a attiré l'attention des lecteurs aux yeux d'aigle qui ont remarqué que l'image avait une résolution de 6670 x 10000 pixels. En d'autres termes, un appareil photo avec au moins un capteur 67MP aurait pu prendre la photo !!!

 

In a post promoting Nikon China’s Creative Camp Live class, Nikon China shared four images, all presumably taken with Nikon Z-mount camera systems. While innocuous enough, one image in particular caught the attention of eagle-eyed readers who noticed the image has a resolution of 6670 x 10000 pixels. In other words, a camera with at least a 67MP sensor could’ve taken the photograph !!!

 

Considérant que le capteur à la plus haute résolution de Nikon pour sa gamme de montures Z dépasse 45,7 MP (pour le Z7 II et le Z9), cette image devait être prise avec un appareil photo non Nikon, mise à l'échelle à l'aide d'un logiciel ou prise avec un appareil photo supérieur … appareil photo Nikon de résolution qui n'est pas encore sorti 🤔

 

Considering Nikon’s highest-resolution sensor for its Z-mount lineup tops out at 45.7MP (for both the Z7 II and Z9), this image either had to be taken with a non-Nikon camera, upscaled using software or taken with a higher-resolution Nikon camera that’s yet to be released 🤔

 

Nikon Les rumeurs et les commentateurs sous le message d'origine suggèrent que cette image aurait pu être prise avec un système d'appareil photo sans miroir « NIKON Z8 » inédit. Le capteur de résolution la plus élevée que nous ayons vu dans un appareil photo plein format commercial jusqu'à présent est un capteur de 61 MP à l'intérieur de l'a7R IV de Sony. Ainsi, quelle que soit la caméra (vraisemblablement plein format basée sur le rapport d'aspect et la résolution 3: 2) capturée, cette image prend la forme pour prendre la couronne de résolution de l'a7R IV.

 

Nikon Rumors and commenters under the original post are suggesting this image could’ve been taken with an unreleased ‘Nikon Z8’ mirrorless camera system. The highest-resolution sensor we’ve seen in a commercial full-frame camera thus far is a 61MP sensor inside Sony’s a7R IV. So, whatever camera (presumably full-frame based on the 3:2 aspect ratio and resolution) captured this image is shaping up to take the resolution crown from the a7R IV.

 

L'image en question, qui présente un jouet fidget de More Than A Knuckle (MTAK) entouré de bouchons de bouteilles, n'a montré aucune correspondance dans aucun outil de recherche d'image inversée que nous avons utilisé, ce qui signifie qu'il est peu probable que Nikon utilise ce genre d'image de stock.

 

The image in question, which showcases a fidget toy from More Than A Knuckle (MTAK) surrounded by bottle caps, hasn’t shown any matches in any reverse image search tool we’ve put it through, which means it’s unlikely Nikon is using any kind of stock image.

 

Que devons nous en penser ? - What should we think ?

 

Have a nice day … « les artistes » ! 😉

20071+182 arrive onto the Willington Power Station lines with a Denby - Willington MGR rake which at the time included a brake van for working the level crossings on the branch.....one of the short lived class 114 parcels units,54932+54902 is held at the Stenson Junction peg while the coal train crosses in front of it on 19th Dec 88

At the Triaj B Palas yard in Constanța stands locomotive 60-1537, part of Romania’s long-lived Class 60. Built under license with the classic Sulzer 12LDA28 diesel engine, these six-axle locomotives have been the backbone of heavy freight and passenger services for decades.

 

Now operated by Grup Feroviar Român (GFR) and registered to GFR Hellas, this machine continues the workhorse tradition on the Black Sea lines. The rugged frame, Co-Co configuration, and characteristic sound of the Sulzer prime mover embody the enduring power of Romanian diesel traction.

 

From the cab, a driver leans into the light — a reminder that behind every engine’s performance is the hand of the railwayman, guiding steel and horsepower through the network.

86321 is heading south at Bletchley on 27th June 1980 with Ford Palvans forming the 6E39 06:00 Ford Sidings at Halewood to Dagenham Dock. 86321 was a member of the short lived class 86/3, which was an 86/0 fitted with SAB resilient wheels, they were later re-classified as 86/4 when fitted with Flexicoil suspension. M147

08824,(DR - FSCD), 31530 "Sister Dora (ex 31430), 457 (ex 31169) & 450 (ex 31133 - all - BS - IWJB) - Doncaster - morning - 13/08/93 (Un-identified trip working to Doncaster Works, which was formed of one live Class 08, three dead Class 31's & air braked wagons for brake force, as 31450 had suffered fire damage & was withdrawn shortly afterwards).

Looking immaculate in its Inter-City livery 47609 "FIRE FLY" stands at the south end of Exeter St Davids's station.

Just creeping into view behind is one of the short lived Class 155 DMU's, which I think was working a Paignton - Cardiff service.

Among a gathering of incapacitated DMS`s in Alperton Garage on 7 January 1979 were cannibalised DMS 715 which was subsequently put back together for a few years more use and damaged DMS 1661 which wouldn`t run again making it one of the shortest lived class members.

Another trip to Preston on a Wednesday for the short lived class 26 roster on the WO Carlisle - Preston parcels train. The driver, in the classic BR uniform, is checking how the guy is doing uncoupling the first van. You can just see his orange leg in between the first van & second van.

Last Saturday, she came as a guest to a live class of my portrait workshop, here in Buenos Aires. We were lucky that a white van parked outside and it became a giant bounce surface for light, so we looked for the best spot to take advantage of that. At some point, I found myself blabbing about the "gestuality of kindness", ie "looking good" not as in "hot", but as in "being good". I don't know if my students could make any sense of it, but Melina was really paying attention and tried to make her part, and this is a picture from that very moment.

Shot on 35mm film with one of my very favorite lenses, a 1950s Zeiss Sonnar 85mm f/2 for Contax rangefinders.

A North British type 2 - later class 21 - a short lived class due to reliability issues - heads south through Anniesland with a freight working - probably bound for Rothesay Dock or Dalmuir, on a winters day. Late 1960s.

One of the short lived class 411/4 3-CEP units from the first batch converted is seen running into Queenborough with train 2D43 the 14.07 Sittingbourne to Sheerness-on-Sea. The class 411/4 designation had originally applied to 4-CEP sets 1501-1505 but with the last one of them withdrawn in May 1993 it allowed conveniently for the "new" 3-CEP sets to be allocated the same class designation and thus receive numbers in the 411 4xx number series. As typical of BR-Southern Region practice only the last four digits being carried as the set number (thus 1401 to 1406). Six sets were created between April and July 1993 by removal of the TSO vehicle from six standard 4-CEP units. Their use was to be on two routes the Medway Valley Line (Strood-Paddock Wood) and Isle of Sheppy branch (Sittingbourne-Sheerness). Although still allocated to Ramsgate Depot they were in effect outbased at Gilingham Depot for this work.

The basic premise behind the 3-CEP concept was both lines didn't need 4-car units but at certain times of the day a 2-car EPB for example was not enough. An added advantage was with a 2+1 power car to trailer coach ratio the rapid acceleration from frequent stops was seen as ideal on both routes. This feature later proved to be a problem as they were not initially restricted so retained their 90mph top speed which resulted in several SPAD's when used on other services away from the two lines mentioned as the brake to weight ratio wasn't as good. Although successful on both lines the first batch of 3-CEP's had a very short life with the whole class of six being withdrawn in June 1994 so barely a year in service.

St Blazey MPD in the heart of the Cornish clay country was unusual for a diesel era MPD in that it retained its roundhouse/turntable shed facilities from the earlier steam period. The “roundhouse” itself was of the less common type with the turntable external to the shed rather than the more common type with the turntable in the centre of the shed building. A lovely Cornish summer afternoon finds 47248 being turned on the turntable to allow access onto one of the shed roads, 2nd June 1976.

 

Locomotive History

47248 was built at the Brush Falcon works, Loughborough and entered traffic in April 1966 as D1925, allocated to Cardiff Canton. It was one of a small batch of class 47’s (D1921 – D1926) transferred to the Southern Region (Eastleigh) at the end of 1966 to help out on the South Western Division, with its run down steam fleet trying to hold out until the completion of the Bournemouth electrification project. With the switch over to electric traction the following day the Southern Region class 47’s eventually migrated back to the Western Region with D1925 transferring back to Cardiff Canton in December 1968. It would remain a Western Region engine (allocated to Canton, or Bristol) for the next twenty three years until transferred to Inverness in April 1991 by which time it had visited Crewe works in 1984 where it was fitted with electric train heating and renumbered 47616. In July 1991 it was renumbered 47671. This was a short lived class 47 sub class 47/6 and consisted of seven locomotives (47671-677) formed from a batch of class 47/4's having an increased electric train heating rating, for dedicated use on Anglo-Scottish sleeper services, based at Inverness. 47671 transferred to Bristol in September 1992 for Royal Mail and parcels duties, Immingham in 1993 for Infrastructure duties and Crewe 1994 again for Royal Mail and parcels duties and reverted back to 47616 in June 1994. Six months later it was again renumbered, to 47789 when fitted with “cab power demand” equipment and RCH type nose end jumpers for operating with remote driving vehicles on Royal Mail trains. It was withdrawn in March 2004 and broken up by EMR Kingsbury in May 2007.

Although adorned in the latest Inter-City colours the small and short-lived class 86/5 sub-class were supposedly dedicated freight only locos. This automotive service and the Wembley - Arpley Speedlink were regular duties for the 86/5s at the time.

I revisited my very old concept of the "Snakelace". This is a bit different than the old snakelaces as those all had single beads who could move on the cord. This version does not feature single beads, as this would be too complucated for a live class. Anyways - this could be a new live-class to teach - if there is enough interest;)

LB&SCR A1 Class no. 672 Fenchurch with sister engine no. 55 Stephney on the Bluebell Railway with a charter special from Sheffield Park to Horsted Keynes. Nicknamed Terriers, these locos were first used on suburban services in South London.

Built by the London Brighton & South Coast Railway to the design of William Stroudley during the 1870's this popular and long lived class are now widespread across southern England on various preservation lines. No less than ten of this class have survived in preservation.

West Coast Railway Co. 47854 Diamond Jubilee brings up the rear of 1Z68, 06:20 Peterborough – Carlisle “The Moorlander” approaching the Erewash Valley from the Trowell Branch at Trowell Junction, 6th July 2013.

 

Locomotive History

47854 was originally D1972 and was built at Crewe works, entering traffic on the 6th November 1965 allocated to Haymarket MPD. From October 1968 it spent a year allocated to Gateshed before returning to Haymarket where it would remain for the next fourteen years. Under the 1973 TOPS renumbering scheme it became 47271. Late in 1983 it was fitted with electric train heating and emerged from Crewe works in December 1983 as 47604 and allocated to Eastfield. For the next nine years it would be either allocated to Eastfield or Inverness. In July 1991 it was renumbered 47674 as part of short lived class 47 sub class 47/6 which consisted of seven locomotives (47671-677) formed from a batch of class 47/4's having an increased electric train heating rating, for dedicated use on Anglo-Scottish sleeper services, based at Inverness. 47674 transferred to Crewe in September 1992 for Royal Mail and parcels duties and also had spells at Bristol (1993) and Stratford (1994) before returning to Crewe in 1995. In November 1995 it was renumbered 47854 when fitted with “long range” twin fuel tanks and the next eight years would find it on various “Inter-City” duties allocated to Crewe, Toton and Willesden. In January 2004 it was leased to the West Coast Railway Co. for charter train duties.

 

It’s half a century since Clayton diesel locomotives ran on West Cumbrian metals, and with good reason as they were one of the more unreliable machines to take to the rails (although - IMHO - they were handsome beasts).

 

So it’s time to forgive and forget and welcome a new breed of Clayton Bo-Bo locomotives back to West Cumbria, but this time for the Sellafield site railway.

 

One of the new Clayton CBD80 hybrid locomotives is pictured at Sellafield on 30 May 2021. The 80 tonne Bo-Bo locos combine battery power with a EU stage five, low emission diesel engine to help Sellafield Ltd. meet its environmental targets. When I took this picture they had no fleet numbers but have since received numbers 1 & 2.

 

Strange that the Clayton Equipment Company - that built over a hundred of the most unreliable and short lived classes of locomotive on B.R.- is the only surviving independent British locomotive builder! But they ARE successful having built similar locomotives for TaTa steel as well as various designs for shunting, Metro maintenance, mining and tunnelling locomotives.

 

One of the fun things about railfanning in a new area is the little surprises found along the way. Be it a faded sign on an old bridge bearing the name of a predecessor fallen flag, or an unexpected depot or tower, or the occasional classic freight cars such as this. This was one of those pleasant surprises that warranted a few images for posterity.

 

An old 40 ft. boxcar that is fairly intact and still sitting on its own wheels rests on a spur used as a storage shed by local CSXT MofW crews.

 

While I don't know the age or pedigree of this particular freight car, it is certainly far older than the image it wears. The Seaboard System was one of the shortest lived Class 1 systems existing only about 3 1/2 years from December 1982 until July 1986. I've often read that the Seaboard was created specifically as a "Temporary Railroad" as part of the multi step process that lead to the creation of the modern CSXT super system. It is interesting to note that CSX Corporation was formed in 1980 when Seaboard Coast Line Industries and Chessie System merged. SCL Industries was the parent company of a group of southern Class 1s that for a decade or so had been operating each of its separate railroads (the three largest components being L&N, SCL, and Clinchfield) under a common image and marketing scheme known as the Family Lines System. This schema was still in effect when CSX Corporation came into existence and the simplifying of the corporate structure was an important initiative of the new parent company.

 

But, Ron Flanary wrote an excellent article about this short lived railroad in Railroad's Illustrated a few years ago and I wanted to share this piece of his always fabulous writing:

 

"It has been stated that Seaboard System was intentionally a “temporary” railroad, owing to its brief existence before the eventual consolidation with Chessie System to create CSX Transportation. “That’s not true,” according to Sidney Johnson, a retired CSX executive who was a part of the management team that implemented the changes. “Dick Sanborn and some other members of the executive management team wanted to clean up all those old corporations and come up with something less confusing than the ‘Family Lines.’ At key interchange points, other railroads were never sure which of our companies were in the conversation if you mentioned ‘Family Lines.’ It could be SCL, L&N, Clinchfield, or any of the other railroads under that banner. Sure, it was a sentimental loss to see these proud old railroad names go, but it was a transportation business doing its best to adapt to the enormous opportunities afforded by deregulation, so it made perfect sense.” Johnson went on to state there was no plan or intention at that moment to make SBD a short-time transitional corporation. “To the contrary, we invested heavily in a new image for our locomotive fleet, a fresh new logo, and an aggressive program of new signage for bridges, buildings, and the freight car fleet. It was our intention that Seaboard System was here for the long haul…”

 

But that wasn't to be, and on July 1, 1986 Seaboard System renamed itself CSX Transportation and then the dominoes fell quickly as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was formally merged away into the Chesapeake and Ohio (both long operating together as the Chessie System) and then a couple months later in August 1986 the Chessie was formally merged into CSXT. But the legacy of the Seaboard held sway in the gray paint that dominated CSXT's locomotives for its first nearly two decades as well as the fact that the Seaboard and predecessor SCL's headquarters city and building remain as the home of CSX to this day overlooking the Saint Johns River in Jacksonville.

 

But here along the Ohio River far from traditional Seaboard territory a relic of that temporary (or not!) railroad lives on....

'On Feb. 22nd 1968 Mike Walker and I completed a most successful day in Cheshire by visiting the MPD at Speke Junction. Here is a general view of the depot (44877, 2 Black 5s, 45253 and an interesting Hunslet shunter).'

 

My guess in 2023 is that the Hunslet is an example of the short lived class 05.

 

An image from an album of prints by the Revd David Benson, a curate in Hull when he took most of his photographs. Nearly all from the late 1960s, he not only chased steam (plenty of such photographs from others), but didn't ignore the first generation diesels, of which there are some fantastic images. Also a good number of shots around Hull Docks. Loaded into the Flickr album 'A Curate's Collection' in reverse order, so when I've uploaded them all you can browse the album as it was compiled.

inspired by brooke shaden's creative live class back in july i set out to make this and found my way back into art photography.
