Seeing what camera settings allow intentional camera movement. Turns out that with an infrared filter over a lens, it's easier to get unintentional camera movement.
Without the IR filter I needed a 3-stop ND filter to get a shutter speed slow enough in sunlit daylight conditions.
Start the intentional movement and during the movement press the shutter release.
Beginner's luck got me this.
Happy Thursday Monochrome.
My wife was gifted these sometime ago and was told that they will bring her good luck! Just keep touching them, babe!!
Our Daily Challenge ~ Good or Bad Luck ...
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
This sighting in Bardia a few weeks ago, well, I can't really explain but I just had a really good feeling about it. I've been fortunate enough to have had many magical sightings/encounters with wildlife over the years, this elephant for some reason I just feel was a symbol of good luck, of hope...
To celebrate we're now sellimg Good Luck Elephants at www.wildtiger.org/jaibaghshop to help protect tiger, wildlife, habitat, people...
Cheers Jack
This is a Japanese keyring my parents got me for Christmas. There are lots of Kimmidolls representing different things. Mine's name is Yuki and she represents luck. The reason they got me this one, is as my Dad said, if I have luck I have everything.
Its home is now on my camera bag :)
P.S if anyone want's to tag me on them 10 fact things, go ahead! I've not been chosen yet.. :(
The Alaskan Range as seen form Denali State Park. WOW!!! Some of the craziest, most dramatic peaks I have seen.....
We almost didn't sleep for two weeks working for a shot with only a little luck, so when the fog rolled in to this awesome area and the sky lit up it was a great feeling!!
I was lucky enough to go on the trip with past students turned friends Joe Roybal and Andrew Vernon

My dad, a week after he got out of the hospital for cancer surgery. He wasn't much for walking around, but whenever he went into the yard, he always seemed to find four-leaf clovers. He came up with four within four days.
This spring I set out on a 10 state tour, and it just happens that Kansas, not by choice, was part of it. A few years back I got this idea that the Kyle would be great to go shoot sometime. Well here it is. I went the length of the railroad before finding a train. Unless you decided to live in Kansas I wouldn't suggest this a top priority.
Stopped at another yard sale recently. Not something I do on a regular basis. But this one seemed to call out to me. The front yard was filled with furniture and large items of no interest for me. However the back yard was heaped with all sorts of items, and boxfuls of even more. I noticed a doll head poking put of one box at about the same time the owner approached me. "Oh you're that photographer" he said; his tone was more on the weary side and less on the delighted. I think remembered me from last year and I wasn't exactly Mr. Big Spender. "What are you looking for" he asked. When I told him dolls he did not even miss a beat. "Back barn" he replied; "they're old and some are scary." Wow, old and scary; about as good as it gets for me. I quickly found my way to the 'doll' barn. I had imagined the dolls all lined up on a card table. The reality was heaps of bags and boxes even taller than me. I was going to have to dig into the morass piece by piece. It felt like prospecting. Wasn't long before I struck gold. Grimy doll faces began to appear, each one more forlorn than the next. Long discarded, they were in mostly awful condition from a child's perspective (but beautiful from mine). Torn and soiled clothing, if any. Also matted, dirty and missing hair; many dolls suffered from hair cuts administered by little girls that failed to realize it would never grow back.
I photographed as I went, composing shots as I would portraits of real people rather than toys. It took the better part of an hour to get through it and I'm sure there were more I didn't see. The resulting images reveal an eerie and haunting look that puts me in mind of a doll mortuary. Unlike other yard sales I've attended where pristine dolls are scooped up by collectors, these dolls went right back into the heaps where they doubtless still remain. Somehow that makes the story even sadder.
There were just too many dolls to single out just one for a post. I believe they have to be viewed collectively to be appreciated. So begins a series...
Well if ladybugs represent good luck then we should be very lucky in this house! Late last week we were overtaken by ladybugs. You literally could not take a step on the front lawn without fear of stepping on one! Not sure where they came from but it only lasted a couple of days. Needless to say my son & I were out there snapping away with the cameras...to anyone driving by it must have looked pretty strange...2 people perched in the grass with cameras apparently photographing the lawn!
Thanks for looking & leaving your thoughts!
Have a wonderful day:)
I lucked out while in Richmond a few weeks ago. We were stuck in traffic and came to a complete stop in front of this house and then a plane flew overhead and voila! :)
Wish you all GOOD LUCK for the new week!

PS: The bug is real and was not manipulated for this photo!

This was complete luck. I clicked the shutter just as the plane entered the frame. I really like this. My daughter was with me, and she couldn't figure out what I was all excited about, until she saw the shot on the LCD. Moments like these are what keep us shooting!
In this post I told the story about my last minute pilgrimage to Montana Rail Link on the cusp of its flag lowering: flic.kr/p/2nLhAy6
I'd only planned four days of shooting and the final day was only going to be a travel day. With the curfews around Bozeman and the dismal smoke conditions we slept in a bit, had a good breakfast downtown, and then I dropped my friend at the Bozeman airport. He'd elected to fly home from there instead of Missoula, but I had to head back west for my flight so after dropping him I headed for I90 and points west. Needing to be in Missoulal by 1500 I had just under an hour to play with so figured at least I could ghost foam somewhere or perhaps drop into Butte or Garrison or something along the way.
Anyway, about an hour west I realized I could take a five minute detour and drop into Whitehall. On our day chasing the Logan local we hadn't make it that far west since they traveled no further out the line than Sappington that day. In fact the famous stretch of track through the Jefferson River Canyon was the one significant and scenic stretch of MRL property still in service that I'd yet to see for myself. Frankly, I didn't think I'd get to since we hadn't lucked out with a ballast train during our short visit. But as I was cruising along I remembered my MRL contacts telling me that Thursday is the normal day the local makes the trek all the way to Whitehall if they have work so I crossed my fingers that perhaps they'd be working in town.
Well lo and behold lighting struck, because just as I got into the center of the small town this was whay I found!
And my timing could not have been more perfect because they were literally completing their air test on one car and were on the move back east within five minutes of me pulling up! Had they left 5 min earlier I'd never knwn or had they just gotten there I'd not have had time to wait around while they worked. But, miraculously the allotted extra time I had left I was exactly what I needed to chase them east for a dozen miles to and through the famed canyon where the Northern Pacific's North Coast Limited and the Milwaukee Road's Olympian Hiawatha once raced on opposite banks.
Here is the 844 Logan local with one covered hopper behind the same pair of classic EMD GP35s we'd chased to Harrison two days prior, MRL 403 and 405 blt. Dec 1964 as DRGW 3039 and Jan. 1964 as DTI 353 respectively.
Countless articles have been written about the MRL over the past 35 years of its existence and if you care to learn more download this great set courtesy of Trains Magazine:

As luck would have it when we got back to the house today it had just rained. There were three new water lilly blooms with nice rain drops on them. Of course I had to take a few snaps.
The best luck of all, is the luck you create for yourself

Examination Hall, University of Cambridge. Good luck to all those having exams at the moment:-) Am somewhat busy but will drop by!

Many cultures consider Coccinellids lucky and have nursery rhymes or local names for the insects that reflect this. For instance, the Turkish name for the insect is uğur böceği, literally meaning good luck bug. In many countries, including Russia, Turkey, and Italy, the sight of a coccinellid is either a call to make a wish or a sign that a wish will soon be granted.
In Christian areas, Coccinellids are often associated with the Virgin Mary and the name that the insect bears in the various languages of Europe corresponds to this. Though historically many European languages referenced Freyja, the fertility goddess of Norse mythology, in the names, the Virgin Mary has now largely supplanted her, so that, for example, freyjuhœna (Old Norse) and Frouehenge have been changed into marihøne (Norwegian) and Marienkäfer (German), which corresponds with Our Lady's Bird.
Sometimes, the insect is referred to as belonging directly to God (Irish bóín Dé, Romanian vaca-Domnului, Polish boża krówka, all meaning "God's [little] cow").
In Dutch it is called lieveheersbeestje, meaning "little animal of our Good Lord".
In both Hebrew and Yiddish, it is called "Moshe Rabbenu's (i.e. Moses's) little cow" or "little horse", apparently an adaptation from Slavic languages. Occasionally, it is called "Little Messiah".
