That was picked some 10 yrs ago with a single needle. I wanted to do it straight away, but I couldn't find any other needle, so you can imagine it took me a long time :)
One single snowflake frozen in the air. I was zoomed in all the way to 105 mm, wide-open at f/4, and just happened to get lucky.
I intended to just get the repeating pattern of the logs with snow on them and this little guy creeped into focus.
It was a great way to spend some time on a beautiful day.
defaultThe bustling Port of Echuca is recognised as one of Australia’s finest heritage icons.
Built in 1865 by the Victorian Railways, the Port of Echuca Wharf was crucial to Echuca’s development. For many years, Echuca was the main shipbuilding centre for the river transport industry. Some of the boats built in Echuca, such as the PS Adelaide, still operate on the Murray River today. At its peak, Echuca supported 8 sawmills and turned over up to 240 paddlesteamers a year.

Sea lions are pinnipeds characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, short, thick hair, and a big chest and belly. Together with the fur seals, they comprise the family Otariidae, eared seals, which contains six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean. They have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 300 kg (660 lb) and is about 2.4 m (8 ft) long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and is 1.8 m (6 ft) long. The largest sea lion is Steller's sea lion, which can weigh 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and grow to a length of 3.0 m (10 ft). Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 6.8–15.9 kg (15–35 lb)) at a single feeding. Sea lions can move around 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) in water and at their fastest they can reach a speed of about 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). Three species, the Australian sea lion, the Galápagos sea lion and the New Zealand sea lion, are listed as endangered. 61535
Metroline DEL1977 (YX12AYK) working WJ947 on the Northern Line rail replacement service, approaches York Way at King's Cross to load up on a trip to Archway and Finchley Central.
It is very unusual to have single deck buses on a double deck rail service. Due to a few late problems, two single deck buses were drafted in to cover. This shouldn't normally happen but this is better than having no bus! Willesden Junction DE1616 was used in the morning.

An early afternoon Eastbourne to Ashford service slows for the stop at the remote Winchelsea station. The station, which is around a mile from the town, is served by Southern class 171 diesel units which run between Eastbourne and Ashford.
Back in 1979 the stretch of line between Appledore and Ore was singled, with a passing loop at Rye. At Winchelsea, which has staggered platforms, services now use the former Up platform which just has a tiny shelter on the platform. The main station buildings on the former Down platform are now in private ownership.
Startrail, single-shot, one hour exposure, taken at night close to the northeast walls of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Dolomites), Italy.
Therefore my camera was pointed towards southwest. When you almost turn your back to the Polaris you get all these "parallel" lines, which are the trails of starlight recorded by the camera while the Earth rotates to the east.
I've been waiting to have the Milky Way completely shifted to the west, because, as I've already written some time ago, I do not like to see the light trail of our galaxy included in a strar trail, it is just a matter of personal taste of course, but I think it only generates confusion. Therefore, when my schedule and weather conditions allow, I definitely prefer to wait for the right time before to start such a demanding exposure.
It is only necessary to calculate that the exposure ends enough time before the appearance of the first faint light before the dawn.
All my startrails are always the result of one single exposure.
I want to have the shot in camera in the moment I leave the place I've visited, just to be sure I've really got what I was looking for.
So it is paramount to find out the perfect spot where to fix the equipment. It must be an area shielded by winds.
Fortunately in this alpine pass, always exposed to the winds, there are also some huge stones (taller than a person) that turned out to be very useful to protect my camera and tripod from any kind of vibration during the long exposure.
I've never particularly loved the startrails, and, telling the truth, neither I do now... anyhow, presently I have at my active 183 night shots, plus many other pending publication, so, the fact of coming out occasionally with a startrail, well, I guess is pratically statistically inevitable :-)
Actually, this shot comes from a very simple feeling: I was mounting my tent for the night, it was pitch black, with rather strong wind, so the process took a little more time than usual. Time to time I was watching these walls, huge, looming... beautiful, yes, but also somehow disturbing... black huge blocks of stone, ominous... a vision light years different from what you can see on a typical sunny day!
That's when I began to think about a possible startrail, in black and white, where these black monsters would have contrasted with the shining light of the cosmos. Huge mountains, dark, hopeless, death... pervaded by a cosmic breath of glorious otherworldly light.

FINALLY! :) A completed Single Girl quilt top! I finished off the last three blocks assembly line style last night. I was determined to get this one done!
As much as I sometimes wanted to abandon this project and give up, I'm glad I persevered. I like it much better now. It's far from perfect, there are some pretty wonky gathers in a few arcs, but oh well, it was never going to be perfect!
