I remember when my pursuit of photography began back in 2006 - I assumed that if I was going for a shoot I would have to take with me every single piece of equipment I owned.
"A landscape shoot, do I need flashes and a macro lens? Better take them just incase".
Now - many years on and I really dislike gear, I would go as far as to say, I hate it.
So brings me to this morning, an all too familiar location, one I have shot many times before but this morning was different. This morning I arrived for my shoot with nothing more than a pocket size camera and one lens. This is a photo taken with Sony's diminutive little A7R and the impressive Schneider 50mm PC-TS Super Angulon (coined popular a few years ago by my good friend Tim Poulton and let to me for a trial by another good friend Damien Siedel).
The beautiful little Sony A7R packs the Nikon D800 sensor (lets face it - its the same sensor) but in an unbelievably small body. EVERYTHING I have been wanting for so many years.
In 2006 my photography life began with a Sony A100. Then came the A700, the A900 and in 2010 my photography took a turn in the right direction and everything Sony was sold to make way for the Nikon D3s.
Am I happy?
In two weeks I'll be leaving for a work conference in South Korea and am hoping for a chance to shoot some landscapes while there.
The Schneider is now ordered and will be accompanying my A7R and I to Korea. My mind on the A7R is yet to be made up.
NS local V83 is switching the team tracks at Waynesboro. Covered hoppers loaded with plastic pellets are transferred to trucks here.
When you read you surely felt this feeling of leaving reality, living some one else's life jumping, laughing endlessly in your own made up world that exists secretely in your mind and no one is possible to manipulate or destroy it. When I've read a book which plot fascinated me so enourmously, even days after, I am dizzy, rewiniding the smallest details in my head, learning the most beautiful passages by heart and thinking what a great loss the death of one person was, I can get really sad, thiking what a loss for the world it is - BUT wait stop, it's only a book. No one died here. But thiking of the fate of the characters makes me thinking of human's fates and I am sure there is a person who experienced and felt things the protagonist felt, so I assure me I can be sad, for a person I've never known and never going to meet.

Switch House, Tate Modern designed by Herzog & de Meuron the extension to Tate Modern opened June 2016.
Concrete spiral stair.
Maine Eastern GP9 764 switches the Dragon Cement facility on the Rockland waterfront, switching out empties for loads. They'll make quick work of the switching and bring the empties right back out to Thomaston, to be reloaded once again. To the right is the Rockland Sail Power & Steam Museum, a fairly busy attraction to tourists and native Mainers alike.
CN 327 is passing a switch point indicator that lets approaching trains know if the switch is lined for the main or for the siding. Power is a solo SD40-2, with 29 cars behind it.
Burlington Northern #240 is seen at Cicero yard switching intermodal cars on June 15th, 1987. I never was a big fan of the BN and didn't live close to it at all but my dad and I did wander around Chicago a lot so I did hit some spots.
BN SW1200 #240 was built by EMD as CB&Q #9282 in July of 1965. Loco may still be around dressed as BNSF 3509.
I've painted a lovely Rusi head for the 3rd Switch Anniversary event! It's a cute readhead shoemaker girl,and the fullset dress is really pretty:3
Make sure to have a look at all the gorgeous dolls they're showcasing for the event ^^
I've got more pictures on my...other computer that I can't have access to for the moment >< But I'll try to upload them later.
The Switch Mobility e1 bus on display on November 1st 2022 at the 2022 Euro Bus Expo held at the National Exhibition Centre. The bus was left hand drive with three doors.
L&C 2369 lead #12 today from Richburg to the Chester Industrial park, seen here near Orrs, SC.
They had a fairly sizable train both ways, but made good time getting back to the NS interchange.

For many years, CSX's Wyoming Yard was synonymous with MP15s and GE drones. Here we see regularly assigned MP15AC #1177 working with RCPHG4 #9249 on the Y193 switching job on the Old Even. The drones like #9249 contained the remote control equipment necessary for RC operation, making any locomotive they were paired with RC. Eventually CSX realized that maintaining the power-less drones was too expensive, and the RC equipment was moved to conventional locomotives instead.
The peace at Bruton is temporarily shattered by Class 50 locomotive No. 50036 Victorious thundering past with the 08:01 Paignton - Paddington service on Thursday 31st August 1978. As I understand it, the signal box at Bruton was normally switched out of use with the signals pulled "off", as can be seen here, except during busy periods such as summer Saturdays. The signal box structure visible in this photograph is long gone, having been demolished when colour-light signalling was installed on this route, but I see from recent shots here on Flickr that two large signal box 'replicas', dating from 2012, have been erected in the vicinity of the station. Apparently they were built by the owner of a local business.
BNSF 1462 moves a couple bad ordered cars around at Willmar yard before departing as the Aberdeen local.
Two former BN units still wearing green, a SD60M and a GP39E, do their switching in Joliet, IL with the L-CHI102.

Now, get out."

Hunter doesn't belong to me.
He belongs to _Mmmk of Singapore!

310068 enters London Euston with a local service on 8th August on 1984. Introduced in 1963, these Derby built AM10s were the mainstay of fast electric services in the Midlands and London lasted just into the new century, the last sets being withdrawn in 2002.
There appears to be a huge number of switch diamonds in this part of the station throat at Euston.
One of the last DB Köfs in freight service can be found in Schorndorf, Germany. They use this little guy to switch cars loaded with appliances in and out of the Bauknecht warehouse because the curve radius is too tight for any three or four axle engine. Here the Köf takes three empties from the warehouse down the spur toward the yard.
Amtrak's Lorton, VA switch crew takes a quick break to pose for the photographer during their afternoon duties building the Auto Train. In 1985, it was apparently no problem for an un-ticketed 12 year old and his grandfather to wander around the Auto Train facility with a camera.
