I occasionally trot out an old manual-focus lens for my daily walks –– probably 4-5 times a year. Yesterday, it was a Ricoh/Rikenon 50mm 1.7 lens. I got the lens at a garage sale, pre-Covid, for $25. I think it’s from the late 1970s or early 1980s. With a #Fotodiox adapter, this K-mount lens works on my Fuji cameras.
Walking through the Gamble Garden in downtown Palo Alto, Calif., I snapped this pic. I think the lens resolves pretty well for $25, though my eyes have a tough time doing the manual focus thing. Regardless, it’s nice to see that spring has sprung.
Probably not the best time to announce a new book, but if anyone wants a diversion from all the doom and gloom out there, I have just made a book with my good friend Ryk Ekedal. The images are drawn from our numerous wanderings around New York City over the last 10 years.
It's available to buy from Blurb and also to view as a digital publication: NYC Double Exposed
Probably one of the coolest birds spotted at the Western Treatment Plant- The Terek sandpiper, accompanied by some red-necked stints.
Probably the most famous castle in Switzerland, Chillon Castle, is enthroned on the shores of Lake Geneva. Switzerland is not exactly rich in castles due to the lack of kings and queens, but this one in western Switzerland is absolutely worth seeing. Not only the castle itself, but also the location directly on the shore of Lake Geneva is great. And depending on the time of year, the sun sets behind the castle or next to it directly "in" the lake.
I probably have mentioned a group on Facebook called 52Frames. Each week a photographic challenge is given and last week it was high key and this was my entry. Imagine my surprise when it was chosen for the 52 picks. The 52 picks are chosen by a committee made up of pros and amateurs that changes out every so often to keep things as fair as possible. Photos are chosen from all the entries, and I'm not sure but I think something like 3-4,000 each week. Only the second time in 3 years that this has happened for me so it's more rare than the Explore! My Granddaughter named the tree Seahorse because in the summer when it has it's leaves the shape looks very much like a seahorse! LOL Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful weekend!
We knew there was a black bear coming around, and finally got a good look at it today. Definitely a young bear, probably on its own for the first time. One blast from the air horn sent it scurrying into the woods.
Probably one of my top ten sunsets I have ever seen, stretching out across the sky as we sailed into Menemsha.
Probably the most photographed cottage in Cheshire. On the banks of the Bridgewater Canal in Lymm Village, Cheshire.
Probably Abispa epiphippium (surprisingly called the Australian hornet). Captured in my home garden in the Gold Coast hinterland.

Since I need some winter images for a proper photo calendar i looked for something worth capturing during those days when we had at least a little bit of snow.
Actually the amount of snow we had wasn’t even enough to cover the grass on this hill, so I cloned out hundreds of grass blades, which was great fun.
Not.
If you are into counting, you are welcome to check my assertion based on the original image:

On what is probably the best luck I’ve had all year, 44871( substituting for 45407 which had a issue) was 15 minutes late crossing loch nan uamh viaduct,resulting in the sun appearing just in time and tide coming further in for 48s crossing, shortly before stalling on the start of the climb to polnish. As a result the 5 reversed into beasdale tunnel 1 and had another run over the viaduct, again in the sun, for 44871s final run of the season. And the last run with a boiler first working out of mallaig for who knows how long. Sadly a diesel pilot was required from essan onwards due to the 5 failing with a clinkered fire due to bad coal.
Probably my personal favourite image from a recent overnight shoot in London. As blue hour approached it opened up opportunities to get creative with shutter speeds, while still leaving some lovely texture in the sky
Probably the last post of the Stourhead visit. I think this is my favourite, I was just so struck by the light coming through the trees. I don't think anyone could take a bad photo of that and it didn't require much editing.
Every year during Gay Pride in San Francisco a large pink triangle is placed on Twin Peaks in full view of the city. Please feel free to go large to read the content of the sign.
From Wikipedia: German: Rosa Winkel) was one of the Nazi concentration camp badges, used by the Nazis to identify male prisoners in concentration camps who were sent there because of their homosexuality. Every prisoner had to wear a triangle on his or her jacket, the color of which was to categorize him or her according "to his kind." Jews had to wear the yellow badge, and "anti-social individuals" (which included vagrants, "work shy" individuals and often, but not exclusively, lesbians[citation needed]), the black triangle. The black triangle as a symbol of lesbian or feminist solidarity, a counterpart to the gay pink triangle, probably originated from the Nazi "asocial" black triangle.
The inverted pink triangle has become an international symbol of gay pride and the gay rights movement, and is second in popularity only to the rainbow flag.
We probably have a housewife like this to thank for the invention of hanging bridges. At least since the photo was taken, experts have doubted that the Tibetan siddha and bridge builder Thangtong Gyalpo was really the inventor, as was previously assumed. Perhaps history needs to be rewritten.

What would probably have been one of my favourite shots of 2020 will be entered into the "your worst shot of 2020" group.
For the past few months I've been hoping to shoot a westbound in the morning blue hour from a bridge about 5 mins from my home. When I got up in the mornings I'd been listening out for trains being called. Nothing. They would either come while it was still dark or once it was light.
Last Monday however, I got up at dawn and not only was the previous week's snow still thick on the ground, but a thick fog had settled. It was just perfect. I turned on my scanner and immediately heard a dispatcher calling a west bound. Downed my coffee and headed out the door.
I made it with about a minute to spare, and tried to focus on the bottom of the signal but in the low light the AF struggled. I thought I got it though and clamped down on that focus lock.
The shot looked fantastic in the view finder...until I zoomed in. Couldn't believe it. Don't know exactly what happened, but I have had many frustrations with the D7100's auto focus...

CSX Old Main Line Sub.
Probably the largest pole gallery I’ve seen, with around 20 of us swaying in the breeze and cursing the Wi-Fi lock up. This was taken blind as my camera to phone connection froze, but thankfully I’d held the pole as steady as I could in the desired position, fired via cable release and hoped for the best. Others I gather, weren’t so lucky.
37901 “Mirrlees Pioneer” is seen at Willington with 6E25 08.48 Crewe Gresty Green to Attercliffe Sidings with more JHA wagons for scrap. All good fun! Pole shot. 26/11/24.
Probably a means of getting locos back to the Mendips,prior to the following days rail strike,59101 with 59203+66416+59204 DIT pass alongside the K&A canal between Crofton and Wolf Hall,on 20/June/22 with 7C77 12.19 Wembley to Merehead empties
I look at these every time I am at the sink, washing up or filling the kettle. They are probably the loveliest flowers I have been given. There's something about gypsophila that takes me back to childhood, when I wanted to become a florist when I got older. I wonder how life might have been, had I followed that ambition.
Probably not, they have been planted to grow up to tall trees that can be harvested for various wood products in a couple of years.
Probably the last of the heather soon, so managed to bag this shot of some just down from Ringing Roger in Edale, Derbyshire.
Probably for me a HST at Cockwood Harbour for the last time? 43189 'Launceston Castle' is seen leading the 2C79 1400 Cardiff Central - Penzance a week before they went down to just three sets 3/9/23. (Taken using a pole)
Christine Falls is probably the most photographed place inside Mount Rainier National Park due to the fact that it's gorgeous AND it's right off the side of the road which usually means a long queue and a rushed shot elbow to elbow with your new best friends. On this day, however, I had it all to myself as the snow plows had scooped out the parking lot and left a five foot berm of snow in front of the trailhead.
This is the 37 foot lower tier of the Christine Van Trump Falls, so named after a nine year old girl who attempted the ascent of the mountain with her dad in 1889. The young lady made it to 10,000 feet despite a crippling nervous disorder.
The wonderful arched bridge framing the scene for us is concrete and faced with rubble stonework. Built in 1927, it spans 56 feet of Van Trump creek and it has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1991 and for me it is the highlight of the drive through the park.
I've posted this video twice so if you've seen the lahar crash through here don't bother, but for the rest of you, hold on to your seat. :)
(deep breath) Howdy! Hope all are well, I am for the most part. I've been working a lot and when I'm not working I've been on the couch resting. Then the holidays, crummy weather and suddenly I don't have anything to share AND I'm way behind with all of you. gasp. :) anywho, I still don't have much that I'd call Flickrworthy but I wanted to say hi and I'm still alive and have been secretly peeking. I have a few hours before I get back to the grind this morning so I'm going to give catching up a go. I'm still not out of the woods with work, two more bank remodels to do on top of my regular work load which means long days, nights, weekends because the banks don't close for remodels and we have contractors who use us exclusively for their cabinets and we have to keep them happy at the same time. boo hoo, whatever. I'm going to try to catch up and stay caught up so when the day comes that my camera leaps joyfully back into my hands I'll be ready. :)
probably one of my fav images from this old gold mining town in nelson, nv, but your always dealing with harsh sunlight out there it seems........pretty sure my father might have drank that tank of hamms over his lifetime.....
Probably one of the most photographed locations in Cornwall and why not it is a spectacular spot. The sun started to dip and the light I had come for started to happen but sadly this was my last shot. The sun went behind the cloud and that was that from this spot. I did wait around and got some nice colour later on from the hillside. Always enjoy my time at Botallack such a wonderful location.

Probably my favorite car at the Cuyama Car Garden was this '59 Cadillac hearse, encased in a mudflow to it's frame. The backstory on this car is that it belonged to actor Brandon Lee, who sold it to Merkel when he was tired of being stopped by the cops in it all the time. Endlessly long and bulky, this monster was complete and straight, even after 20 years in the wilderness. With the CCG/Lee provenance, I bet the new owner is still shocked this amazing find just fell into their lap. Whoever knows it's fate, please chime in.
Night, full moon for 4 minutes, with blue and purple flashlight.
Probably my favourite shot from our trip.

These are probably the remains of one of the gates of the old medieval castle of San Esteban de Gormaz, province of Soria, Spain.
Only a section of bent wall remains, and other remains of smaller walls and a cistern are also preserved. (Source: Wikipedia)
As I have already explained in previous photographs: many of these medieval castles, having lost their military use, were used as quarries to build houses and walls in the surrounding villages.
Photo taken with a Nikon Z 6 III camera and a 7Artisans 10mm F2.8 FishEye lens attached for full-frame cameras, which has a coverage of 178º, but has no connection pins with the camera, therefore part of the metadata information is either incorrect or does not appear.
PUERTA DEL CASTILLO DE SAN ESTEBAN DE GORMAZ, 2024
Probablemente se trate de los restos de una de las puertas del antiguo castillo medieval de San Esteban de Gormaz, provincia de Soria, España.
Sólo queda un lienzo de muralla acodado y también se conservan otros restos de muros menores y de un aljibe. (Fuente: Wikipedia)
Como ya he explicado en anteriores fotografías: muchos de estos castillos medievales, al perder su utilidad militar, fueron usados como canteras para construir casas y muros en los pueblos de alrededor.
Foto tomada con una cámara Nikon Z 6 III y una lente acoplada de 7Artisans 10mm F2.8 FishEye para cámaras de formato completo, que tiene una cobertura de 178º, pero no tiene pines de conexión con la cámara, por tanto parte de la información de metadatos o bien es errónea o no aparece.
