Consecutively numbered GP20C-ECOs (CP 2252 & CP 2253) are reflected in some water as CP F95 heads towards Fleischmann's off the CP Lasalle Loop Spur to lift empties.
The sea is always a good place to reflect and regain new energy. What palce do you prefer to reflect and regain energy?

The Milky way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System. It's name is derived from it's appearance in the sky as a dim glowing band that arches across the night sky typically most prevalent when no moon is present, and in the northern hemisphere from Spring to Fall. Individual stars cannot typically be seen by the naked eye, but they are what makes up the band we see. Galileo first discovered this. Today, milky way photography has become a fairly common thing. Anyone with a DSLR these days can typically take a shot of the sky by using a tripod, and a long exposure to come up with stars.
The challenge of these types of shots is usually lighting, and star trails. There are methods of stacking that are used to get rid of star trails, or alternatively many use the rule of 400, which says that if you divide you focal length into 400, you approximately get how many seconds you can leave the shutter open without seeing star trails. In practice this is heavily dependent on how sensitive your camera is. One of the methods I used for this photograph is called exposure blending. In order to get light into the foreground, I left the shutter open for a bit longer, and shot the sky separately, then later in Photoshop I combine the two images. This allows me to get a fairly sharp foreground, without star trails.
It has been almost 4 years to the day that I last took a photograph, when my daughter was just over 1 year old. Today, I finally took both kids to a waterfall i've always liked and got to share it with them. It feels like a new chapter has opened, taking them to amazing locations, and capturing new memories with a new camera. There's a few things that have improved, particularly the photo editing and detail extracted from new camera technology.
With film, everything took time, was slow and every shot considered. I never considered this waterfall good enough for for film (it cost about $20 per shot for film and processing), but with digital it really doesn't matter how many shots you take. Finally, a shot of these cascading waterfalls on my flickr account.
It's important to take time to reflect and remember what is important and what serves you best. Much easier to say than to do....I'm working on it. Hope you have a wonderful Friday!
Having missed a couple of recent sunsets through a touch of apathy I took myself off this morning to capture a sunrise. In fairness to the BBC the forecast of great conditions had changed from yesterday evening by 0330 this morning, but I was already up so decided to press on regardless. Unfortunately the forecast was right; heavy cloud and drizzle greeted me at a variety of lochs on my way down to the Aviemore area. I spent the last 40 minutes or so prior to sun-up in my car along side Loch Morlich feeling a bit sorry for myself. I decided to try a new location, Ruthven Barracks, but made an unscheduled and unexpectedly rewarding stop at Loch Alvie on the way. The low sun was casting some lovely light onto Alvie church and the trees and hills around the loch. The water had stilled making for some great reflections and some now patchy cloud was drifting across the lower hill slopes.
This photo was taken in the castle garden in Bruchsal Germany . The small pond was in some place still frozen . It was taken with Olympus E OMD -M10 . The lens which Olympus M. 9-18mm wide angle .
Born in Canal Amsterdam where everything was reflected by rippling water, I became a bit of a water reflection addict
