Hello to all of my friends out there. 2013 was kind of a photography drought for me as conditions for when I was out shooting were not always conducive to me capturing a shot I liked. I could not even post a fireworks shot from the Space Needle for 2014 as 2013 ended and 2014 started with a big fog bank obscuring the Space Needle from view.
Well there was no obscuring of the view yesterday! I had checked the radar befor leaving home and saw a nice thin cloud bank pushing in from the south and west, that is perfect for capturing the colors of our Winter sunrises. It was super cold, below freezing and frosty on the roads as I drove to Kerry Park. The park was also covered in a layer of frost. Of course I send warm thoughts to everyone in the Midwest and East. They would not mind thirty degrees, as that would be warm for them!
This is a combination of three exposures (-3,-1, 1) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I shot at 400 ISO and at f/11. I removed a dust spec in Photoshop as well as did a little light "Dodge and Burn." I pulled back the saturation of the colors too...yes the sky was intense and brilliant. I added a little sharpening and noise removal in Lightroom.
Thank you for all of the views, comments and faves. I appreciate your support. The rain has moved in, so now it will be time to clean out the archives!

Then the following day I went to the wildlife park in Kent...and I saw this lil guy doing the same thing...which doesn't happen often..well, when I am there anyway..so the caption wrote itself...lol...:)
Anyhoo...enough of my ramblings...I hope everybody is having a wonderful Tuesday..:)

The original position-light signals still stand guard at Maple interlocking in Bedford on the Cleveland Line in June 2001, but the new modern signals behind them with their heads covered will soon replace the PRR-era relics here.

This entire series occurred the day before the workshop was over. Three of us decided not to get up at 3am for a long trek to Lone Pine in the eastern Sierras. As the dawn broke over the dunes, I found myself praying. It was that beautiful. The entire series was shot in about 45 minutes from 6 different set-up positions.

SIR #448 emerges out of St. George Tunnel with a four-car set of R44s rolling through the B&O-style CPLs at SNX (Slosson) interlocking on a drab Saturday evening on Staten Island with Lower Manhattan and 1WTC visible on the top right.
The SIR is the most interesting of all the lines operated by the NYCT with its own unique operations and history. Opened in 1860 on the island's east shore and reorganized as the Staten Island Rapid Transit in the 1880s, the SIRT was historically owned by the Baltimore and Ohio which financed its expansion into New Jersey via a bridge over the Arthur Kill Strait to a connection with the CNJ at Cranford. By 1900, the SIRT was a wholly owned B&O subsidiary isolated from the rest of the system and reached by trackage rights over Reading and Jersey Central east of Philadelphia. The B&O electrified the SIRT in 1925 taking delivery of brand-new ME-1s built by Standard Steel for rapid transit operation. Construction began on a tunnel under Lower New York Bay to integrate the SIRT with the rest of the New York transit system; the project was never completed.
Service ended between St. George and Arlington on the island's north shore in 1953. The B&O handed over the remaining rapid transit operations to SIRTOA, a subsidiary of MTA, in 1971, and Chessie continued freight operations on the island until it sold the railroad in 1985. By 1991, freight traffic east of Arlington was permanently finished, and the railroad was abandoned west of St. George severing it from the rest of the U.S. rail network.
A lasting legacy of the B&O on Staten Island is the continued use of B&O signal aspects on the SIR. The B&O installed color-position lights on the SIRT in 1924 making it one of the first lines on the entire B&O system with the classic CPLs that we know and love. Originally installed for ABS operation, the CPLs on the SIR are configured for ATC and cab signals. Although most of the original B&O-era masts have been removed (the ones you see here at SNX are MTA-era masts), a number of GRS-built dwarves remain scattered across the line.
Last but not least, SIR operates the oldest cars in revenue service on the New York transit system since the retirement of the R32s in 2022. The R44s in service on the SIR date back to 1973 when the MTA ordered a dedicated fleet of R44s to replace the B&O-era ME-1s that have been operating on the SIR since the 1920s. In addition to the 278 cars built for the NYCT B Division, 64 R44s were built by the St. Louis Car Company to FRA standards for service on Staten Island, the final pieces of rolling stock built by the company before its dissolution. 12 of these R44s were initially sent to the B Division before being reassigned to the SIR in the mid-1980s. Today, 57 R44s remain in active service on the SIR and the last R44s on the B Division were retired in 2010. The remaining R44s on Staten Island will be replaced by the R211S in the near future.

老鐵匠的牆上滿是攝影界人士拍攝打鐵畫面的餽贈。說真的，這張照片若要跟他牆壁上面的相比，真的有點自嘆不如，而且是大大的不如！
我們無預期的叨擾，雖然老鐵匠很慷慨的讓我們在旁邊拍攝，但是本來是沒有這場打鐵秀的，這是他特別表演給我們拍的。
最重要的一點，是我們出遊的成員之中有一個道地的客家人，本著人不親土親的原則，我們才能拍到這些不錯的畫面。

(since we started tracking this statistic on April 19, 2006)
Is it because of what happened in 1989 that the tian'an men square is full of security forces? Or maybe just a way to show that the people here has no reason to feel in danger? I would better consider the first option but I guess the official reason won't match with my guess...

Der Bahnhof von Annaburg macht auch aus dieser Position eine gute Figur. Wenn die Schatten für die Bahnhofs-Standardaufnahme zu lang werden, muss man in der Gleis-Botanik ein paar Schritte nach hinten gehen und erhält dann diesen Blick. 248 033 rauscht mit einem Silozug heran - weitestgehend bestehend aus Wagen, die man sonst nur aus dem berühmten Bernburger Sodazug kennt.
I wanted to capture something different to the usual bluebell carpet/green woodland shots. I tried a few things out and I really like how this one worked. I've seen wildlife photographers do this sort of thing by getting down low and using a heavily out of focus foreground. I like the contrast in colours here and the simplicity of it.

Got out for a sunrise or two over the past week as winter finally decided it wasn't done yet...thankfully. I was getting tired of blue skies and 70 degree weather. This is prime landscape photography season!
Well, today marks the two year anniversary of one of my most popular shots, both on flickr and in terms of print sales. Since it is the 2nd month and the day is 22, I figured why not post an image made near the same time frame but two years later. Originally I was going to post a black and white conversion from that special morning back in '09, but I really like this recent image for its distinct character compared to the one from two years ago.
I really struggled on this morning to find compositions to include the storm front and the cracked cloud line where light was breaking through. Eventually I wound up on this side of the wharf and walked along the beach to position the line of the cloud to end where it does. The waves weren't all that cooperative and the storm front was moving fast, so I only got a couple shots where I had decent water motion at the same time as reflections in the sand. I used ISO 200 and f8 in order to keep the shutter speed shorter to catch some streaks in the water as well as freeze the moving clouds.

Ms. Essay positions herself at the edge of her living room’s L-shaped sectional sofa for a seated pose in her white long-sleeve turtleneck sweater and brown faux leather pants she wore for a February meeting convened virtually by the Missouri Historical Society and their Museum via Zoom.
In the background of this photo, the late afternoon sun cast an interesting shadow onto the sofa’s seat cushions that was created by the slats of the west facing living room window’s venetian blinds.
