I've been eagerly waiting for the result too. At least I got the exposure correct haha
This is a 4 min exposure and with iso25 I can really take my time.
The original scan had a weird magenta cast to it. I desaturated magenta and a bit of yellow at the post processing stage and have only done some level adjustment... some burning as well. Everything else remained
Tec: Mamiya 7, 65 f4 lens at F11, 4min exposure with Kodak Ektar 25 film (expired in Oct 1998)
Been seeing their tracks, plus reports of sightings.... I knew they were around. Today we saw this coyote out and about in the park looking for, and finally did score...a snack of Red Backed Vole.

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.
The overnight sleeper failed at Carlisle, a door problem I saw reported. It decanted the unlucky passengers onto the platform, and proceeded to London later in the day. Scheduled to go via Wolverhampton, Stechford, Birmingham International it turned left at Stafford and made some time up on the fast line up the Trent valley. So much so that I only just made it in time.... Thanks to gen providers.
New Haven Railroad DER-1c class ALCO DL-109 diesel electic locomotive # 0709 leads a 3 car suburban passenger train in Providence, Rhode Island, early 1950's. This location may not be Providence but indications are that it is. It appears that there is a heavyweight combine baggage-coach and two general coaches on this train. The season appears to be winter. Check out those interesting power poles with the special wire insulator mountings.

Dear Sir and Madam.
Ladies and gentlemen of the press.
Distinguished members of the Solar Confederation.
My name is Harley and I am the Commander of the Yamakoto.
I am proud to report that my crew and I have managed to fly the Yamakoto through our solar system at 3 times the speed of light.
The stars are now within reach because we will fly even faster.
Thought I'd throw an extra shot up today.
They have the platform built that they will rest the last arch piece on and attach it. They actually spread the bridge to put the piece in place! Then it's pulled back together.
The last piece should be going up soon. The first side should be completed and open by late this year. At least that's the plan. It was supposed to be open last fall!
Nice in LARGE view. Can you see the workers up top?
Have You Seen It?! ;)

Justification of Red List category
This species is listed as Critically Endangered because its population has undergone a very rapid reduction, for reasons that are poorly understood but are likely to be at least partly due to hunting along the migration flyway; this decline is projected to continue and increase in the future. Fieldwork in Kazakhstan (and counts in Turkey and the Middle East) has shown the population to be substantially larger than previously feared, but recent demographic studies have found low adult survival, possibly largely driven by hunting pressure along the migration routes and wintering grounds.

BirdLife International, RSPB (BirdLife in the UK) and leading optics manufacturer Swarovski Optik have just launched a remarkable new interactive website The Amazing Journey which charts the migration of one of the world’s most threatened birds - Sociable Lapwing. The new website enables you to experience the birds' migration online and witness new discoveries as they happen. It also provides support to a large team of international scientists who are trying to prevent the species from becoming extinct. Following extensive research, nine Sociable Lapwings have been carefully fitted with tiny, state-of-the-art satellite transmitters, which will track their hazardous 5,000+ km journey from their breeding grounds in Kazakhstan to their non breeding areas in tropical Africa and other, as yet undiscovered, destinations. The Amazing Journey follows the adventures of Erzhan, Dinara, Svetlana and six other intrepid satellite-tagged lapwings as they fly south for the winter - dodging hunters with guns and falcons and the myriad other unknown threats that await them. Andreas Pittl – Head of the Nature Division at Swarovski said, “This is a hugely important and fascinating project which Swarovski Optik is proud to champion. Wildlife is threatened with extinction for many reasons so finding ways to help such a beautiful and inspiring creature as the Social Lapwing is an important conservation effort we are keen to support. We want to bring people and nature together so they can continue to enjoy brilliant, close-up views of birds like these for years to come.” Designed by online marketing experts Digital Spring, The Amazing Journey uses satellite data fed through Google map technology to keep pace with the birds. A mixture of clever, regularly updated maps and video and photo blog reports from the field will follow their progress. Relatively little is still known about the routes Sociable Lapwings take, so tracking them will provide vital information, enabling BirdLife scientists to monitor and protect the birds and unlock the mystery of their migration. Now, for the first time, those interested in birds, wildlife and conservation can sit alongside scientists, and learn about these extraordinary birds, their migration habits and their conservation. Dr. Paul Donald, the project’s Principal Conservation Scientist at RSPB said, “We are using the world’s smallest and latest satellite transmitter – weighing just 5 grams – to record this amazing journey. By engaging with people around the world and inviting them to see this fascinating migration happening live online we believe we can inspire them to play their part too.” As the Sociable Lapwings progress along a lengthy route through various countries they need to stop every now and again to ‘refuel’ along the way. As they do so they form big feeding flocks (which is how they get their name). Whenever they touch down, precise details of their location are picked up by satellites orbiting high overhead and sent to RSPB scientists. These locations are then passed on to conservation project partners in each of the countries the birds travel through. With detailed coordinates they can quickly locate the flocks of birds, wherever they’ve touched down and take action if they are threatened in any way. The Amazing Journey website will provide regular reports from these scientists in the field keeping us up to date with all the latest news on the birds’ progress. Jim Lawrence, Preventing Extinction Programme Manager at BirdLife International said, “Protecting migratory species on the brink of extinction like Sociable Lapwings can’t be done without the considerable support of BirdLife Species Champions like Swarovski and RSPB. The Amazing Journey website is a new window on our world where you can see BirdLife International Partners around the globe delivering co-ordinated international conservation solutions.” Main photo credit Maxim Koshkin - Conservation Project Leader ACBK.
It's been a while since I've posted a photo of this. It's 44 rounds and I still have lots and lots of yarn. Each round is about 3/4" so it must be about 66" in diameter.
Taken in Oxfordshire, our second visit we went last week and despite several sightings on Birdguides we didn't find it despite being at the locations reported. After 3 hours and our legs loosing the will to live we gave up.
We have been watching the weather forecasts since Friday of last week and decided that today was our best bet, with good sighting over the weekend.
So off we set, the journey was terrible due to heavy rain until just before junction 15 on the M1
On arrival we checked it's last reported position, but no sign so braved the causeway in gale force winds causing difficulty walking in a straight line and hats had to be removed. We were fortunate to meet a fellow birder half way over who gave us its current position.
These are the shots of todays encounter. I probable wont see another one so I've gone a bit mad.
We think it was very much worth the effort, a new species for me and that doesn't happen very often these days

"Ce tableau constitue une des premières représentations du prolétariat urbain. Si les paysans (Des glaneuses de Millet) ou les ouvriers des campagnes (Casseurs de pierres de Courbet) ont souvent été montrés, les ouvriers de la ville ont très rarement fait l'objet de tableaux. Contrairement à Courbet ou Millet, Caillebotte, bourgeois aisé, n'introduit aucun discours social, moralisateur ou politique dans son oeuvre. L'étude documentaire (gestes, outils, accessoires) le place parmi les réalistes les plus chevronnés.
Caillebotte a suivi une formation académique auprès de Bonnat, et la perspective accentuée par l'effet de plongée et l'alignement des lames de parquet est conforme à la tradition. L'artiste a dessiné une à une toutes les parties de son tableau, avant de les reporter au carreau sur la toile. Le torse nu des raboteurs est celui de héros antiques. Mais loin de s'enfermer dans ces exercices académiques, Caillebotte en exploite la rigueur afin d'explorer l'univers contemporain de manière inédite.
Présenté au Salon de 1875, le tableau est refusé par le Jury, sans doute choqué par ce réalisme cru (certains critiques ont parlé de "sujet vulgaire"). Le jeune peintre décide alors de se joindre aux impressionnistes et présente son tableau à la seconde exposition du groupe en 1876 où Degas expose ses premières Repasseuses. Les critiques sont impressionnés par cette grande page moderne, Zola notamment qui condamne cependant cette "peinture bourgeoise à force d'exactitude"." Notice du Musée d'Orsay
Lieutenant Roanne Ria all set for action. Roanyer Ria mask, purple eyes, medium curves, and the glossy black Rose Sakura hosiery returns, albeit without boots this time.
One year after the earthquake, a little report from Kathmandu area.
These pictures had been taken two months after the earthquake 25 April 2015. The idea of the report is to show not the destruction but the reconstruction, not the weakness but the strength, not the desperation but the smiles and not the sorrow but the joy of coming back to a normal life. Kathmandu’s people in their everyday life. I especially chose Nepali’s youth to defeat the commonplace of Nepal as a spiritual destination for Western people who comes to clean up their souls from exploiting the rest of the world, and to show how Nepalese are in our same a globalized world, listening to the same rebel music, playing with the same touch-screens and waving the same red flag.
Un anno dopo il terremoto, piccolo report di Kathmandù. Queste foto sono state scattate due mesi dopo il terremoto del 25 Aprile 2015. L’idea del report è di mostrare non la distruzione ma la ricostruzione, non la debolezza ma la forza, non la disperazione ma i sorrisi e non il dolore ma la gioia di tornare alla vita normale. Gente di Kathandùnella loro vita quotidiana. Ho scelto in particolare i giovani Nepalesi, per distruggere il luogo comune del Nepal come destinazione spirituale per Occidentali giunti per ripulirsi l’anima dallo sfruttamento del mondo intero, per mostrarecome i Nepalesi vivano nel nostro stesso mondo globalizzato, ascoltino la stessa musica ribelle, giochino con lo stesso touchscreen e sventolino la stessa bandiera rossa.
