This male Mallard duck decided to slide off the ice into a bit of open water!

Upload for Sliders Sunday but the effect is unintentional and in-camera, caused by wrong shutter speed under flourescent lighting.. all I have done in post as adjust exposure and crop. It's different anyhoo :-)

This is probably the last photo upload from the "When Forms Come Alive" exhibition at the Hayward Gallery.

My sunflowers are blooming and that makes me happy, so as it was Sunday, I played - HSS!

La Mairie - L'hôtel de Ville / Town Hall went for a swirl.

So this was one of those fluke pictures taken during a friend's kid's birthday. But I like it a lot because it's like the progression of how to go down a slide (in case you didn't know)... Anywho, yeah, wasn't planned like that and almost got deleted but then I was like "Hmmm... what if I can't get the three babies to sit together for a picture, at least I'd have one with them all in it!" (uh, to explain the three babies would be Reese (Billy & mine), Brenden (Billy's BFF Brandon's) and Jovie (Billy and Brandon's other buddy's) -- they were all born within a 2 month span).

 

School starts tomorrow so I'll be trolling flickr like an 80s slasher flick villian during the day again...

Here is another very old slide taken in 1958. My Dad shot this during a vacation we took that summer. This is in Noel, Missouri. Noel is in the far southwest corner of that state and situated on the Elk River. This town is considered the "canoe capital" of the Ozarks. It's well known as a great place for "float trips" down the Elk River and its tributaries the Big Sugar Creek and Indian Creek. One of the natural features of the area are the overhanging bluffs along U S Highway 71. I especially love the tree on the very edge of the bluff. As a kid In 1958 I thought it looked like a Christmas tree waiting to be decorated. I've found more recent photos of this spot on the internet, and in a few of them the tree appears to still be there. But, of course, it looks much more weathered than it did in 1958. I still remember Dad pulling over to the side of the road to take this shot.

 

Year: 1958

Film: Kodachrome (unsure of the ASA)

Camera: Kodak Retinette - Type 022

Lens: Schneider-Kreuznach 45mm 3.5

If I've taken this ruddy duck once I've taken it a hundred times and each photo hasn't been up to scratch.

Now that I've finally got it, I decided to give it a few turns through iPiccy and PhotoScape for Sliders Sunday.

Since up loading this I have removed the shadow that [https://www.flickr.com/photos/63847423@N03/] thought got in the way. He was right, it looks far better without it. Thanks [https://www.flickr.com/photos/63847423@N03/].

My husband yesterday sitting on a bench flying his drone as the Str Wilfred Sykes goes upbound to the Soo Locks.

I am continuing with my snail project as long as I can conjure up ideas. This project has been good for me in so many ways, it has helped me think ahead and visualize a final image. I have learned patience and tolerance in working with the snails. It has sparked something within me and I get excited to share my photos and proclaim that I am a photographer where before I only mentioned it to a few people. My manual dexterity has improved by having to manipulate the props and I am learning and imagining how to craft backdrops and props. It is exciting to come up with new "stories" too.

 

PS baseball will be revisited, I want to figure out a better way to create the field and lay it out properly. I winged it this morning and it's not my favorite.

 

Thank you for visiting, commenting and sharing your ideas with me. Sorry to those who are sick of snails.

 

What are you working on that has you excited?

Country Road

Subtle water colour edit.

A matched pair of Canadian National SD50Fs had haulage train 348 southbound at Slinger in 2001.

 

At the time, CN power was pretty much confined to the trains that the Wisconsin Central was operating for them.

 

That would soon change.

Happy Sliders Sunday!

You better be good, the big day is really getting close now!

Savona - Italy - 10 Febbraio 2018

GUILD GUITAR Company

Il nome, che letteralmente significa Corporazione, deriva dal fatto che la società si presentava come una cooperativa dei migliori liutai fuoriusciti dalla Epiphone, all'epoca in forte crisi, attratti dalla proposta di Mann di costruire un'azienda autonoma orientata alla progettazione e la realizzazione di strumenti di alto livello.

Dopo appena un anno Mann, che aveva una visione più commerciale del progetto, fuoriuscì dalla società; nonostante ciò, sfruttando la consulenza dei maggiori musicisti di jazz e rock and roll che regolarmente registravano i propri lavori a New York, la Guild fu presto in grado di fornire una gamma di strumenti di livello assoluto, sia nel settore della liuteria acustica, sia nella produzione di chitarre semiacustiche.

All'inizio degli anni sessanta, a causa del grande successo dei suoi strumenti, i vecchi stabilimenti di Hoboken (New Jersey) risultavano del tutto inadeguati alla crescente richiesta: la produzione fu quindi spostata nei ben più capienti spazi a disposizione a Westerly, nel Rhode Island, lasciando a Hoboken gli uffici e la sede amministrativa.

L'evolversi del mercato, sempre più orientato verso chitarre a corpo solido e l'inevitabile declino della popolarità della musica jazz, unito agli imponenti investimenti pubblicitari che aziende sue concorrenti (in primis la Gibson) erano in grado di fare, il totale rifiuto di costruire strumenti musicali a prezzo contenuto nei paesi asiatici e, non ultima, la prematura scomparsa di Alfred Dronge nel 1972 in un incidente aereo, portarono la Guild ad un periodo di profonda crisi economica, culminata con l'acquisizione del marchio da parte della Fender nel 1995. Salutato come un avvenimento positivo da parte dei lavoratori, ma presto la Fender disattese le promesse di mantenere il marchio come il fiore all'occhiello del catalogo di chitarre acustiche e semiacustiche della propria azienda.

In pochi anni, nonostante la consolidata tradizione aziendale:

 

- Chiuse gli storici laboratori di Westerly, spostando la produzione presso i propri stabilimenti, prima alla sede centrale di Corona, California, e poi a Tacoma, Washington negli ex stabilimenti della Tacoma Guitar Company e infine, nel 2008, negli stabilimenti precedentemente utilizzati da Ovation e Hamer Guitars a New Hartford, Connecticut.

- Iniziò a produrre nei suoi stabilimenti cinesi modelli di chitarre acustiche economiche marchiate Guild.

- Rivoluzionò il catalogo, interrompendo la produzione della maggior parte dei modelli "storici" del marchio.

- Interruppe completamente la produzione di chitarre jazz ed elettriche.

The 76 Crew pulls ahead their metal shaving cars from Irvin Works to drill the slab yard seen behind them. To the right, a 50 Crew job sorts gondolas with a quartet of end cabs. They would later finish building their train, and shove it up the slide to head to the NS interchange at Kenny.
