On a hot and muggy September day on Prince Edward Island, this field was all rolled up.
Photo taken with the Olympus OM-1 and M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro.
Game night for the Integrity gals* over in Toyville and their Dungeons & Dragons adventure continues... as does my quest to find some teeny-tiny 20-sided dice etc.
* see, this is why my mini-me has a bag over his head; can you imagine what cruel fate the High Fashionistas would have lined up for me for pictures like this ;)
We're still amazed that Yuba can fit into the small cat bed as well as he does. Recently, he decided he likes this black bed again so he sleeps there a lot.
The von Roll family became rich and influential in the machine industry. Notice the clock on their house. Must have been very expensive at the time.
Here comes the sun, gold coast style, just the start of another beautiful day..And as always my friends, Thanks for all your beautiful comments and faves..
CSX coal load U822 was arriving at Curtis Bay with export coal in 1993.
Freshly painted SD50 8640 (former C&O) and former Family Lines C30-7 7065 would cut off and head into the small engine facility at Seawall to await their next assignment.
Last week I spent a few days in Snowdonia hoping to capture some autumnal drama. I knew very few 'locations' but Tryfan was on my must shoot list. The sun made a few very brief appearances, all too fleeting to make anything of, but the scenery is so dramatic that moody skies don't matter so much.
This picture was taken a few hundred metres up Afon Lloer, a stream that runs from a lake higher up the east side of Pen Yr Ole Wen.
I find working in flat light quite a relaxing experience. I don't worry so much about missing the light as it changes little. As such I spent more time on the composition and had to be careful to wipe my filter down in between exposures. And due to the low constrast, all it needed was a .9 ND to slow the exposure enough to capture some blur in the water.
More to follow shortly. Don't expect any bright sunrises or sets though!
Looking at a photo a second time and deciding to do something different sometimes improves the original photo. The color version of the shot was uninteresting, but turning it to black and white, darkening the overall exposure, and increasing the contrast gave the photograph more interest. What do you think?
Not Exactly Fast Sports Action Photography! I was just passing by and stopped to have a nosy at the 'action'.
And yes, he does look a bit like British Celebrity Baker Paul Hollywood, from a distance.

A designated scooter parking area is marked on a paved urban surface. Multiple rental electric scooters are positioned in a single row within painted boundary lines. A person stands adjacent to the scooters, looking down at a handheld device. The scooters are stationary and aligned with minor variation in angle and spacing. No direct interaction with the vehicles is visible at this moment.
Beethoven. I know you. I've seen your name and picture on some of those smelly record covers Dad has laying around. You're that deaf dude who likes to play the piano.
"...As you are that disheveled dog who liketh to play with begrimed balls, yes."
Okay, okay, keep your Ludwig on. But how can you hear and understand me?
"I could well ask the same of you."
Don't reckon I know, partner. But I've always been able to talk. Most dogs can, to their owners and other dogs, at least. Ask anybody who has one. I'm just a little better at it than some, maybe. So what are you doing in my house?
"A more mysterious realm our universe could not be."
Huh?
"I am at a loss. My journey hath ended here."
Well, you're lucky. If I hadn't recognized you, and if you had a bum, I might have taken a good-size chunk out of it. I'm very protective of my family.
"I am aware. Santa's article in the daily Everlasting News was quite clear on this matter."
AHHH! Santa died?!
"No, but he is a positive spiritual being, hence was long ago issued a swipe card to Heaven's Gate. But still his beard is in knots over last December 25."
Hey, anybody I discover tiptoeing around our living room in the middle of the night while wearing a disguise and carrying a sack is just asking for it.
"Be that as it may, I am here on holiday. We every one get a week off Heaven every 200 years or so to travel whereupon we choose. I have begun with a visit to earth to discover if my music is still of note, to be droll, ahaha, ahaha."
I thought everyone in Heaven knew what was going on down here at all times.
"Not so, my fine furry friend. We cannot all be He. In my case, my music is constantly performed in my ears 23 hours a day."
23?
"He insists we every one play an hour of his favorite four-handed card game, Matzlfangen. You surely could imagine the clamor for Him as a partner every eve, ahaha."
Well, it sounds more like the opposite of Heaven, but anyway, classical music is still relevant today, though less so than in the past. Yours has always been right up there with the best. Look, Dad has your Pathétique Sonata right there beside you, it's one of his favorites. But there's lots of different music in the world today. Just about every country or culture has had indigenous music to an extent, and some of that has been creatively mixed over the years into a kind of musical soup of all kinds that is eaten up by anyone who has an appetite for it, and variations are still being created. Personally, I like '60s pop and rock'n roll, Irish folk and traditional --and of course, it goes without saying, every ballad ever written.
"Pop...rock 'n...folk...soup...as we speak, I am rolling over in both of my graves."
All this is a little TOO grave for me, Van man, so presto, I gotta run. Stay sharp, and don't lose the key to your flat.
(And on this coda, stay tuned for the next performance of
Conversational Clancy)
