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.

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.
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.
Grace Harwar,"the last full-rigger afloat", photographed by Allan C. Green in Australia. The 266 ft 7 in ship was built in 1889 by Hamilton & Co (Glasgow) for W. Montgomery in London, and sailed for the original owner until 1913, when she was sold to the Finnish Delfin Company in Helsinki. Three years later the Åland Islands (Finland) shipowner Gustaf Erikson bought Grace Harwar.
My restoration and colorization of the original image in the Victoria State Library archive. No date is given, but the library also has a photo of the crew by Green, including a life buoy with the text "Grace Harwar, Helsingfors" (Helsinki), which could indicate that the picture shown here was shot in 1913 - 1916.
Here is a quote from Georg Kåhre´s book The Last Tall Ships (edited by Basil Greenhill) published by Conway Maritime Press in 1977:
"Grace Harwar was never rerigged as a barque, as were so many other full-riggers. She has been called the last full-rigger afloat, and she deserves this honoured title, if one takes into consideration her world-spanning sailings. In 1935, there were, admittedly, a score of fully-rigged training ships and floating museums left in the world, besides the American Tusitala ex Inveruglas, which was laid up, and Calbuco ex Circe, registered in Chile, and Maipo, owned by a guano company in Peru, which are reported to have sailed with cargo at least occasionally. But Grace Harwar was the only one to carry on the traditions of world-wide commercial deep-water sailing to the very last."
Grace Harwar made her last voyage from Australia to the UK in 1935. On 16 July - 11 days after arrival in the UK - she was towed from London to Charlestown Firth of Forth, to be broken up.

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.
Hexham Bridge is a road bridge in Northumberland, England linking Hexham with the North Tyne valley. It lies north of the town of Hexham and is the main access to the A69 bypass.
The Tyne was crossed by two ferries called the east and the west boats. As a result of persistent agitation, a bridge was started in 1767 and completed in 1770. It was built by Mr Galt and consisted of seven arches. Less than a year later it was swept away in the great Tyne flood of 1771. In that flood, eight bridges shared the fate of Hexham. In 1774 a new attempt was made 46 metres to the west by Mr Wooler, an engineer who had been working on the new Newcastle bridge. Piles were sunk to carry the piers but work was abandoned on discovering that the "soil beneath the gravel was a quicksand with no more resistance than chaff". This first bridge, Hexham Old Bridge, was about 2 km upstream of the present bridge.
The authorities next approached John Smeaton, whose name as an engineer was famous. Henry Errington of Sandhoe was given the contract for the sum of £4,700, and work started in 1777. Although the half-completed piers were washed away the following year, work continued and the new bridge was opened to traffic in 1780. The Newcastle Chronicle, Saturday 8th July 1780 had "Saturday last, the passage along the New Bridge over Tyne at Hexham was opened, the Most Noble Errington was the first that passed it, who made a handsome present to the workmen." However, on 10 March 1782, there was a heavy fall of snow followed by a violent hurricane. The valleys of the north and south Tyne were inundated and the nine arches were completely overturned. They are still visible and act as a sort of weir. Robert Mylne, a famous architect and engineer, was called in to report on the feasibility of rebuilding Smeaton's bridge. He was eventually given the contract to build a fourth bridge, and the work was completed in 1793. It is listed as a Grade II* building by Historic England.
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

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.
Duncan's picture can be seen here:

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.
