One of the objectives of my latest London visit was to get some shots in of Big Ben before it is totally shrouded in scaffolding from early this year for the next 3 years. A lot of Tourist are going to be really disappointed.
The structure in the pool is a Sculpture by Naum Gabo, installed at St Thomasâ Hospital garden, London in 1975 on the South Bank of the Thames opposite Parliament. It is called Revolving Torsion and was intended to operate as a fountain and stands at the centre of a large pool. It was designed to rotate, making one complete rotation every ten minutes. Some time ago however the hydraulics seized, and despite concerted effort to make it turn again, this has so far not been possible. The fountain also seems to be broken as I have not seen water coming through. It is listed for its special architectural or historic interest so is likely to stay in place.
It is not a well known viewpoint despite the large number of photographers at the popular nearby viewpoint on the South Bank beside the bridge. I was there for some time setting up and waiting for it to get darker. I was soon joined by other photographers one of whom told me I had been spotted from the bridge and they wondered what the viewpoint was. I cannot claim credit as I first spotted the viewpoint in one of my contacts streams, David Gutierrez. Worth looking at if you like London Photography.
The picture was taken on a tripod with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens at 17mm. No HDR but instead processed in the Develop Module of the just acquired Lightroom 5. That was kindly passed on to me by our Camera Club Chairman, Roger Crocombe who now has Lightroom 6/CC. Thanks Roger. Selective exposure adjustments were done. Then edited in Photoshop using layer masks for selective applications of Topaz Clarity and Saturation adjustments. Some tidy up with the heal and clone tools.

My objective for our upcoming trip is to observe and photograph the elk rut...for the umpteenth time. It never gets old and never disappoints.
My last post for a couple of weeks.
One of my attempts at the "Smile on Saturday" theme "Observe the O".

The Zollverein Coal Mine Complex in Essen (More images in my series Zollverein) is one of the most impressive surviving examples of industrial culture from the modern era.
With their design of the central shaft facilities for Shaft XII, built between 1928 and 1932, Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer created the single most important part of the complex, both technically and architecturally. The industrial monument has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001.
The site of the Zollverein coal mine and coking plant stands symbolises industrial history and structural transformation in the economy. Here, Schupp and Kremmer created a high-performance industrial complex with clear aesthetics and a high degree of functionality. Symmetry, axiality and gradation of scale – the organising principles of the modernist formal idiom – came into their own here in a new context.
The curtain wall façades, designed in the style of New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) and made of a steel framework inset with clinker bricks, earned the colliery the reputation of being “the most beautiful coal mine in the world”, even back in its working days. Clearly visible from afar, the 55-metre-high double winding tower rises above the other buildings as an icon of mining architecture and a symbol for the entire Ruhr region. Years later, Fritz Schupp built the Zollverein Coking Plant, which went into operation in 1961, in the same style as the coal mine complex. In its day, the mine was regarded as the largest and most efficient one in the world. An era came to an end when the coal mine ceased operations in 1986 and the coking plant in 1993. A total of 600,000 people were employed here and coal was last extracted from a depth of 1,000 metres.
In the context of the International Building Exhibition (IBA) Emscher Park, the facility, which is protected as a historical monument, was promoted as a model project; the first phase of refurbishment began in 1989. Today, the Zollverein complex is the central anchor point of the Route of Industrial Heritage – a 400-kilometre-long trail along the industrial and cultural heritage of the Ruhr region. Based on a master plan by Rem Koolhaas and his firm OMA in collaboration with the architectural firm of Heinrich Böll, the site was transformed with conversions and new buildings by Norman Foster and SANAA into a site for culture, business and education. Today, the Zollverein is a popular tourist destination that is home to the Ruhr Museum, the Red Dot Design Museum, the Zollverein Monument Trail, and the new Folkwang University of the Arts with its design department, plus the studios and ateliers of four dozen creative companies.
My main objective sunday was to photograph Norfolk Southern's Roanoke District, stretching between Front Royal and Roanoke, Virginia. The line is governed by vintage N&W signals, which unfortunately, are not long for this world. It's a notoriously difficult line to photograph, with only 4 trains a day. Fortunately, there is ATCS, and I saw a train sitting in Shenandoah on the main, and lit out for them. It turned out to be a northbound 12Z which had mechanical issues overnight and fortuitously sat until I arrived. While I was hoping for a southbound chase to Roanoke, I was still happy to have a daylight run. Here is the train splitting the signals at Acorn Hill, with the mountains peeking out behind the exhaust. As the days get longer, it is my hope to continue to document the different spots along this line, and the signals before they fall. Each year, I kind of decide on a theme of what I go for if nothing particularly special is running. Last year was the RF&P, and this year it will be the N&W CPLs dotting the Shenandoah Valley.

Mission 20: Objective Jenth:
DESIGNATION: CC-6359
NICKNAME: Branch
RANK: ARC Sergeant
Branch and his brothers burst through the blast doors of the separatist facility, charging into a flood of every unit in the separatist war machine and more. The seppies wanted a fight, and his blood was boiling for one. against the insurmountable odds, certain doom. The brothers charged into certain doom, or what would have been for normal men, but they weren't men, they were clones, arc troopers, and most importantly, brothers. "For the republic!" charging in, the clones shot, blasted and slashed at anything between them and victory for the republic.

Historia de la fotografía:
Para tomar estas fotografías, siempre tengo que madrugar para capturar la salida del sol de un dia nublado.
Quería capturar la salida del sol con nubes para darle mayor impacto visual, por lo que estaba pendiente del parte meteorológico que indicara nubes.
Llego a Vilanova i la Geltrú temprano y preparo el equipo a la espera de su salida y realicé varios disparos de distintos parámetros con el fin de asegurar que tuviera detalle la zona cercana al sol (las altas luces).
También que se sepa lo que tiene uno que hacer, para lograr estas fotografías y que no te las encuentras por casualidad.
Espero que os guste apreciados amigos.
Antoni Gallart.
Datos técnicos:
Cámara: Nikon D800
Objetivo: Nikon 35 mm.
Diafragma: f/8 (Para aprovechar la máxima calidad de la lente).
Velocidad: 1/5000 s. (Con los parámetros ya puestos solo debía variar la velocidad del disparo, para capturar y congelar alguna gaviota que volaban a baja altura por delante de mi).
ISO: 320 (Para no tener que ir cambiarlo en zonas de menor cantidad de luz).
Compensación de exposición: -1Paso (Para subexponer en las altas luces)
Trípode: Si
Filtros: Si (Durante su edición para potenciar las nubes).
Subexpuse la fotografía para tener mejor detalle en las altas luces y sol, aclarando el mar durante su edición.
History of photography:
To take these pictures, I always have to get up early to capture the sunrise on a cloudy day.
He wanted to capture the sunrise with clouds for added visual impact, so he kept an eye on the weather forecast for clouds.
I arrive in Vilanova i la Geltrú early and prepare the equipment while waiting for it to leave and I took several shots with different parameters in order to ensure that the area near the sun (the highlights) had detail.
Also that you know what one has to do, to achieve these photographs and that you do not find them by chance.
I hope you like it dear friends.
Antoni Gallart.
Technical data:
Camera: Nikon D800
Objective: Nikon 35mm.
Diaphragm: f/8 (To take advantage of the maximum quality of the lens).
Speed: 1/5000 sec. (With the parameters already set, I only had to vary the speed of the shot, to capture and freeze a seagull that flew low in front of me).
ISO: 320 (So you don't have to change it in areas with less light).
Exposure Compensation: -1 Step (To underexpose in highlights)
Tripod: Yes
Filters: Yes (During editing to enhance the clouds).
I underexposed the photograph to have better detail in the highlights and sun, clarifying the sea during editing.
large red damselflies (Pyrrhosoma nymphula)
eggs going into my new pond! The pond is only a week old today and I have damsels already!
so many pond scaters and water beetles have appeared too.
My key objective for this garden wildlife pond is to try to get damsels and dragonflies to come. So seeing this pair today was wonderful.

3.12.1994, Auseinandersetzung, ca. 10x15 cm, Filzstift, Malerei mit Nitoverdünnung auf Papier.
23.1.1977, Confrontation, ca. 4x6 inch, Marker, painting with nitro thinner on pape, revised advertising image, Decollage.
Das möchte ich Euch auch noch zeigen, jetzt, während ich am Sortieren und Dokumentieren meiner künstlerischen Arbeit bin.
Es sind Malereien um 1977 - etwas mutiger und emotionaler als ich damals war. Ich bin heute richtig erstaunt über diese Ergebnisse.
Geplant waren größere Malereien, die noch kommen sollten.
That's what I want to show you now as I am sorting and documenting my artistic work.
There are paintings around 1977 - a bit more courageous and emotional than I was then. I'm really amazed today about these results.
Planned were larger paintings that were yet to come.

Hier nehmen wir Kontakt auf mit zufällig und rasch entstandenen Personen, gemalt mit einer Schaumstoffrolle, Pinseln, Bleistift und Farbstiften - eher ungeschönt experimentell und geheimnisvoll.
Here we come into contact with randomly and quickly painted persons, painted with a foam roller, brushes, pencil and colored pencils - rather unadorned experimental and mysterious.
While clouds flare overhead, a large fragment of cap-rock rests alongside the trail and looks conspicuously out of place amongst the deeper red of the mudstones, Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, Colorado.
Visiting this Monument was a prime objective of our recent Thanksgiving road-trip to the Southwestern part of the State. Abandoned cliff-dwellings and watchtowers blend in remarkably well with the landscape, being built from the native materials at hand, and my wife and boys and I were thoroughly engrossed while searching for them and imagining their creators out-loud, along with the way of life that existed here. Say what you will about America these days (and whatever it is, it would probably be accurate), but the fact that public land like this exists and anyone can go explore is largely due to Teddy Roosevelt's leadership. A vision like that, gifted to future generations as it was, still makes me proud to be an American today.
When on a workshop, each night I review the next day's proposed photography location and consider all the details and the latest weather forecast. On this particular evening we were in Te Anau and the forecast for Fiordland was for strong North West winds and heavy rain. Our objective for sunrise was Key Summit, which from Te Anau meant a 3am departure. With a forecast like that you would be forgiven for choosing not to go. I reviewed the forecast closely and especially the speed of the incoming weather and the weather maps. Having many years experience in New Zealand's mountains meant I had some idea of how the weather developed, but of course no one has a crystal ball. I said to the group that rather than stay in bed we should roll the dice and try our luck. We awoke to calm conditions, as we approached the start of the Routeburn track it was still dark but I could see we were in cloud. As we walk along the track our head lamps picked up the tiny droplets of water in the air, it was strangely calm. Shortly before we reached the turnoff to Key Summit the air cleared and we could see stars above. I knew we had climbed above the low cloud and I had a sense this was going to be one of those magic mornings in the mountains...

Emil Maetzel and Dorothea Maetzel-Johannsen fulfilled their dream with and in the Künstlerhaus Maetzel: out of the world of ideas of the Lebensreform and in the field of tension between modernity and traditional details, they designed architecture and nature. Fellow artists from the "Hamburg Secession" celebrated and painted here. During the Nazi era, the site became a refuge for those who were now ostracised. Currently, the Gesamtkunstwerk is being awakened from its slumber to become a progressive, creative place of remembrance and future.
