As my wife and I were driving Route 23 north in Kentucky headed towards West Virginia, I noticed a train headed in our same direction. I then noticed that the lead engine was a Canadian Pacific diesel, which I've never seen one in person. I looked at my wife and pretty much just said I was going to get ahead of it and stop to take a few pictures. Thankfully the tracks pace the road for several miles along that stretch of 23, so I sped up, got to a pull-off spot and was able to get out and snap some pictures.
The train consisted of a CP lead unit in tandem with a CSX engine, and then a long line of CSX coal hoppers. I snapped a bunch of pictures and then got back in the car. We got back on the road, and of course caught back up with the train. I again told my wife I was gonna get ahead of it and try to get one more set of pics, which she excitedly encouraged. I was able to get ahead of the train again, get pulled off, and setup to take another series of pictures at a different crossing.
I know for some, these pictures may be nothing special.....but for me, it was a little slice of excitement in what was an otherwise winding down road-trip as we approached Huntington WV, and then Teays Valley WV. Getting a chance to take some of my own pictures of a CP engine, and doing a quick train chase just made for an exciting evening for both of us.
Duck lane, Wolsingham. It doesn't take long for these little fellas to figure out where the food comes from
First time in 18 years of ownership our Arab died in service, it limped back to Bury with a missfire and radiator leaking. Might be head problems.
@the Ozzfest yesterday;
but why that person was looking back at that point I do not know and is kinda creepy!

"I'm bleeding out
Said if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bear my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you"
-Imagine Dragons
My emotions are bleeding out of me all the time. Sometimes they are constant sometimes not. If you really knew what I was thinking, then you would truly know how I feel about everything in this world. Songs inspire me to take photographs and make them. I used red thread to signify blood in my own way.

Somewhere between Dewsbury last week and Truro today (both work related) - I took a last minute flight to Rome to pay a flying visit to an old friend. Of all the ancient monuments and beautiful buildings there - it has been this rather dejected looking horse that captured my attention for the first image to share. In the grandeur of St Peters Square - and the imposing shadow of the Vatican, a reality check. Says it all really!
Taken just out side the strand arcade in Sydney CBD. I was lucky with the lighting as she was standing right in it so I could expose for her and throw the background black. I did burn out one of two highlights to smooth it all out. Also lucky to get the car headlights in the background to define her hand bag. She jumped into her friends car about 30seconds after this was taken.
I fell that this has a real fashion feel to it but would you still consider it street photography?
We have Lewis and his little brother James today (and tonight) so late in the afternoon we went for a lovely walk along the beach - this couple and their daughter were having fun walking on the sand and getting their feet wet!
Thanks, in advance, 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.
It is always good to explore multiple angles to photograph something from. I look for light and interesting backgrounds.

Lighting gubbins -
Big ol' beauty dish (28 inch) on a Bowens 500 camera right, high and about 8 foot from subject to get a little shadow on the wall. To be fair this shot isn't really about the lighting is it.
Out on patrol, Bravo Unit and Black Brigade command mechs confer at the reflecting pool in Monument Park.
I'm not sure about this hair? It looks nice in photos, but something not right when I look in a mirror. I swapped it at last moment, to the 'tried and tested' version.
Common Honeybee (Apis mellifera).
Lots of bees come to the pond to drink. Some of them are careless, fall in the water and then strive to get out. Few of them manage to do so and finally climb on a rock or a stem by the water where they wait till they are dry enough to fly again. That's a perfect opportunity for me to get close enough to them for a macro like this. After a couple of shots at this angle, I tried to move closer for a portrait, but alas, the bee was drier than I though and took off :-)

A farmer feeding his sheep just before sunrise on Saturday. I was driving to get to the lake by sunrise but had to stop and back up when I saw this beside the road. The farmer started to walk over to see if I needed help but waved when he saw my camera. Another mad photographer he probably muttered (I won't translate that into kiwi farmer's talk)
PS Just one RAW shot, no HDR. Amazing what shadow detail you can lift out and keep the sky colour.
So I finally came out to my mom today. I was so scared and I was feeling a ton of anxiety about it, I mean it's really hard to explain to your mother that her only daughter doesn't feel like a daughter. I'm so glad I told her because it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. She's very supportive which makes me really happy. It's nice to not feel so alone anymore. :) And after months and months of begging, she's finally going to let me get my hair cut ^-^

I don't know how I'm going to go and
I had a drink the other day
Opinions were like kittens
I was giving them away
It's been a busy week as I was preparing for the final exam since it is the last week of school. I took this shot during the train ride en route to Guilin. I hope I will be able to take more pictures and explore a different aspect of photography in the near future during summer vacation. But for right now, non-recent shots will have to suffice.
I used my friend's Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 for this shot and I have to admit that it was fun to use with good contrast and sharpness, even wide open!
