I don't think this kind of image is possible without the use of infrared. It is pregnant with energy. The box belongs to the Bureau of Meteorology which has an official weather station at Low Head.
Weather Report was also the name of a very fine Jazz group, including saxophonist Wayne Shorter. Jazz is actually a nice way of describing infrared photography. Every shot is an improvisation and makes us see things anew.

Report from a photo trip to Lofoten - 19
This is a panorama composed of two photos. They show Storsandnes Beach near Leknes on Lofoten. A panorama of the aurora is a little tricky. The northern lights change noticeably between the two photos if the exposure time is too long, and then the partial images no longer match. It took me several attempts to finally get an acceptable panorama.
The image shows the view to the north. The constellation of the Big Dipper can be spotted here pretty much in the middle of the sky in the reddish part of the aurora.
Tagged male. Semiahmoo. If you look at the duck second from left you can see a geo-tag sticking out from his right wing. I reported this and I received a report that it was tagged near White Rock, British Columbia.
This 4200 Report Monitor reel-to-reel tape recorder was manufactured by Uher factories in Munich in the early 1980s. It was primarily developed for professional use and was intended for use with 13 cm reels in half-track mode. The housing is made of robust die-cast aluminum, and in addition to numerous technical features, there were also many accessories, such as matching microphones, for use in interviews by reporters. The sound is excellent and enables perfect recordings in hi-fi quality! My device still works well and looks quite good.

.... this is not a report....but it is only a collection of images taken a few days ago in Sicily and that, in some way, also speaks of Sicily ... (we are living in our island, a very fine "long summer") ...

On the morning of December 28, 2024, it was reported that Amtrak's eastbound California Zephyr, with Phase IV Heritage Unit 164 on point, broke down somewhere way out west and Union Pacific stuck a freight unit on the train to drag it into Chicago. At that time, the train was running over 2 1/2 hours late, which would've put it into Chicago by mid-afternoon.
On this day, I had just started to recover from being sick from the previous two weeks, including Christmas Day, and I needed to get more medication. So I wanted to catch the train when I went to get more meds.
The train continued to lose time due to the reduced speeds of the freight unit. With long lines at the pharmacy, I went for the train first. But the Amtrak app was not updating, and I waited in the cold far longer than I thought. By the time the train passed me in Sandwich, IL, the sun had already set and was now well over 4 hours late into Chicago.
Not only would this be my last train I caught in 2024, these would actually be the last photos I took in 2024. Ironically, standing out in the cold for over an hour waiting for this was actually soothing to my sore throat, and the sickness finally broke the next night.

At the end of Sandbotnen Bay near Fredvang in Lofoten there is a grassy plain behind the beach. In this plain, the "sandy river" Sandelva forms some narrow river bends.
I had been watching the weather reports for Yosemite Valley for over a week in anticipation of a Winter Storm that was due to arrive last Wednesday night. I had been hoping for an opportunity to drive up to the park and grab a shot of a clearing rainstorm with low clouds scattered across the valley floor. I've shot from the tunnel several times, but I have never been able to get a shot with steamy low clouds rolling through the trees.
So early last Thursday morning, I made what was going to be a 12 hour, 3 tank full gamble to make a one day dash up to the park trying to make it to the tunnel just as a break in the clouds was due to arrive. I drove through scattered rain showers on my way up hwy 99, and by the time I arrived in Oakhurst at 1:30, low clouds had moved in over the Sierras and it looked like I might have wasted an entire day trying to get my shot. But after driving up hwy 140 for a while, the clouds broke up and suddenly I began to worry that ALL of the clouds would be gone and I would be left with just another cloudless afternoon up at the tunnel.
But as I entered the park, the low clouds moved in again and it began to rain in earnest. As I arrived at the tunnel, there was a small but determined group of photographers camped out hoping that the clouds would lift and that the rain would let up. I took a spin around the park just to pass the time, and by the time I had returned, the rain had stopped, the clouds were breaking up, and there was only one photographer left. And best of all...my low clouds were scattered across the valley floor! The lone photographer (Dave) and I shot for about 90 minutes straight before it started raining again. People came and went, but as it began to pour and the clouds moved in again, I was the last photographer to head back to my car. The above shot was taken in the pouring rain just as the rain clouds began to turn orange behind me. I kept shooting as the end of the valley lit up in a bright topaz blue before all the light was gone.
After stopping to see some friends of mine in Mariposa, it was time for the long drive back, which was not without its own adventures. I hit some serious fog just outside of Bakersfield and you literally couldn't see two feet in front of the car. After the fog broke up, I made it through the grapevine only to discover that the entire Southbound 5 freeway was closed due to construction and had to take a detour through downtown LA. I didn't get home until 1:30 AM. All in all, a very crazy day and a bit of a gamble...but I will definitely be trying that again.
Report from a photo trip to Lofoten - 18
The terrace of a Rorbu cabin afforded a wonderful view west across Offersøystraumen to Leknes. The Space Weather App had predicted favorable conditions for aurora sightings, and just after 8 p.m. a green band stretched across the sky. In the excitement we didn't have time to turn off the cabin light and so the rocks in the foreground - partly submerged - are illuminated by the light from the Rorbu cabin.
The shot didn't require any special editing tricks in post-processing. I basically just used my default raw processing settings in Lightroom with a small increase in brightness and clarity (although the rocks in the foreground required special attention to bring out the details). There was no change of colors.

I'm currently working on a new skin and lens
The head is the Nova of the Lelutka Revolution line.
It's my favorite!
It takes some time to make each skin into three different brand's heads, but it's fun.
I can't wait to show you.

The secret is out, and the Canadian internet groups imploded after the release of five SD70ACU's painted to honor the Canadian and United States Armed Forces. Thanks to the team at CP for making this possible, as well as putting on a great ceremony at the Calgary headquarters on Remembrance Day 2019. The 5 meter barrier around the units was a nice touch, as every fan managed to get lots of sunny shots without having to use a people filter.
It's going to be interesting to shoot these units on the road, with the variations in dark and light paint each one will present challenges to the photographer, but its bette rthen dirty red!
Horace was pacing up and down the lounge, I said “what’s up old pal” he responded well tis like this Bri, I phoned Huw Edwards a few days ago at The BBC (Huw and Horace go back a long way, drinking in Tredegar) and asked why there had been no reportage or sightings of ‘The Beast Of Bodmin Moor’ recently.
Check what ever search engine you good people use, allegedly the beast is quite a fearsome cat like animal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_Bodmin_Moor
Huw responded “well Horace, we have had no information on the beast for some time, would you like to go out and report back”.
Horace looked at me with that cute face and asked if we could travel out onto the moor, I said “no problem Horace”, great he responded, I have your brothers Land Rover out in the drive ticking over ready to go.
So we rounded up Hoof, got in brothers Land Rover with Horace at the wheel and off we went. We came to this location on the edge of Bodmin Moor, you could hear Horace’s knees knocking, he was out the vehicle calling “here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty”.
We then could see the sweat coming off Horace’s brow, he spotted this large Y shaped object, he thought it was the giant wishbone of a dinosaur, which Horace felt the beast must have eaten for breakfast.
So Hoof being the only sensible one of the three of us, explained to Horace, this was only a piece of wood which just happened to be pointing at one of the very early China Clay dries, some say it dates back to 1900. Just up over from the chimney is the disused Stannon Clay works which was bought by English China Clays in 1919.
We felt that a trip to the nearby Old Inn, at St Breward, was required in order to calm Horace down. At around 720 feet above sea level, it is the highest pub in Cornwall.
Wasn’t long Horace was back to his old self, following a few pints, plus he and Hoof were playing spoof with the locals at a social distance in the beer garden.
Following H & Hs drinking exploits, guess who ended up driving them home😎
Have a lovely weekend, thank you for looking at my photographs. The comments and banter you leave are so appreciated.

Report from a photo trip to Lofoten -- 22
The eagle tour started at 9 a.m. in glorious weather from Svolvær (Lofoten) and went to the nearby fjords and islands (Trollfjord, specifically: Øyhellsundet), home to a larger population of white-tailed eagles. The eagles, which were still hungry in the morning, were readily persuaded by bait fishes to allow themselves to be observed at close range while catching their prey. Here is a picture of the approach to the prey.
I used the Nikon Z 9 with the 300mm f/4 and a teleconverter 1.4x. This combination is quite lightweight, which is an advantage when standing in the speedboat trying to keep the eagles in the viewfinder. It was a challenge for the autofocus because the light was still rather weak early in the morning (just before sunrise). Denoising was done with DXO-PhotoLab 6.

Teatro Balconi features opulent Art Nouveau architecture. The ravages of time have left this cavernous auditorium in an advanced stage of decay.
Here is what Duncan had already written about: as we drove past, the assistant on the locomotive filmed what we were doing. Personally, I recognized this at first, but I wasn't sure what it meant. In concrete terms, it meant that a report had been made. And as soon as we were back on the main road and took the next picture from there, we had a visitor. A man got out of a car and said we shouldn't take pictures. OK, so we did that and drove off to leave the area. The whole region is afraid after ArcelorMittal was chased out of the country. No one can say exactly where the money for the Qarmet holding came from. Everyone reports, reporting makes free.

A pair of Ex-SP SD45T-2s, one bearing KYLE reporting marks and the other bearing MNA reporting marks, bring MNA train MNAKC-08 past the General Mills plant as they come out of 103 and down the Low Line before shoving into 202 here at UP's Neff Yard. This train came out of MNA's Pearl Yard in Carthage, MO and is yarding itself here at UP's Neff Yard. They'll pick up their outbound on 102 and head back south later this afternoon.
You just can't pass up the opportunity to shoot a pair of SP tunnel motors in 2019. For the longest time, I've been wanting to get a shot of the MNA next to the General Mills plant provided they actually pull down this far and they get in town late enough for the sun to swing around. Being able to have this chance was really great, and to have the 9362, the best looking of the three SP painted tunnel motors on the MNA, on the point is a nice bonus too. 4/9/19.
