I'm still experimenting with this manual 35-70mm, this time zooming out during a long-ish exposure...
American Steamship Company's boat St. Clair pulls out of the Poe Lock in Sault Ste. Marie, Mi., as it continues its upbound journey in the St. Marys River.
It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care
Well, I do
Hey! Who's in charge here?
It's a jungle out there
Poison in the very air we breathe
You know what's in the water that you drink?
Well I do, and it's amazing
People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention, you'd be worried too
You better pay attention
Or this world you love so much might just kill you
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so!
'Cause it's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there!
It's a jungle out there
Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go through it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the power of the flock.
In the fall when you see geese heading south for the winter flying in the "V" formation, you might be interested in knowing what science has discovered about why they fly that way.
It has been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater range than if each bird flew on its own.
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.
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.
Another shot at this; the 35mm prime was a bit diffcult to handle in this scenary; for this photo I was literaly on my belly trying to get a good frame. Gotta remember 35mm on a DX = ~52mm.
This is the best I could do.
Note to self: go wider!
Post-processing:
The usual contrast/exposure adjustment, noise reduction ('cus 3200 ISO!), applied a cooling filter on PS to balance the unappealing orange tone I got from the distant city lights and a bit of desaturation to the background/clouds to make the stars pop out a bit more and get a darker sky.
@the Ozzfest yesterday;
but why that person was looking back at that point I do not know and is kinda creepy!
Too busy to get out so it seems nature is coming to me this was on my door and l have no idea what it is. It has large eyes and pincers...I know it's not ,but it is Dragon fly like ?

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.
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.
I think I’ve finally figured out my get-out-the-door routine when I work as a substitute teacher. Unfortunately, it includes prepping my lunch and bags the night before and then getting up no later than 4:15 a.m. to run the dogs, get myself ready, and drive to the school. I was spoiled with my last job’s schedule. I’d begin with 2 to 3 hours of work from my home office each morning and that made the day’s start so much calmer.
Jacket, BCBG Max Azria (consignment). Dress (worn as a blouse), Parker (consignment). Skirt, thrifted, shortened, and embellished. Boots, Fergie. Earrings, flea market. Bag, Clark’s.
I’m also figuring out appropriate dress for working in schools. I’ve got to be more modest in my choices than when I was in beauty sales. I must choose very comfortable shoes for elementary school because I’m expected to walk the children everywhere. I can be a bit more frivolous in my shoe choices when I work in high schools. At first, I was terrified to wear my silk items, thinking that they’d get dirty, but I haven’t had to mediate a food or paint fight, yet.
I wear way less makeup to teach than I did to sell. I don’t have the time for a 30-minute face and my beauty salon look is a bit overdone for schools. One morning, I had a bit of extra time, due to a late start, and did a full-on smokey eye, only to feel like a clown once I got to the elementary school. I may have scared a few children.
It's been a busy night for Santa Claus and his eight tiny reindeer. The team may have failed to stay in shape over the summer, as they apparently grew too tired to make it back to the North Pole. Or maybe Santa lost a bet. Either way, Santa was forced to switch places with the reindeer and pull the sleigh the last few miles back to the North Pole.
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 :-)
