I say stop to hurting who is weaker and defenseless !!!
Well Christmas has taken it's toll on me and given me very little time over the past week! :( however, with the little time I did manage to get I have been getting to know my Off Camera Flash and trying to perfect the art of "Stop Action" photography, I completed all my theory in my lunch hours last week and was desperate to put it to the test, I had an hour with the birds today and this is the result...I'm getting there! :)

As you can see from the settings used, its the Flash that stops the action, Not a fast shutter speed as you would normally need in bright daylight, a couple of key points to remember when using this technique (unless you have specialised gear) is that you need low ambient light and a low flash setting (below 1/2 power on the 430 EX), this coupled with the above settings will create a nice dark background which illuminates only the bird and stops the action in its tracks, I had the camera on a tripod and the flash gun was positioned a few feet away at about 90 degrees to the camera, using three wireless remotes enabled me to trigger the flash and camera from a reasonable distance...and that is about it! :) hope some of you find the info useful or of interest, if so then please leave a comment to let me know :)

The landscapes in Norway are awesome (in the true sense of the word). We were going around hairpins on this road. My daughter was driving and I had the camera in my hand.
There was a small space beside the road to pull over. The view was worth it!

"Stop the Car!!!"
That is what we said the whole way up the mountain to Fort Mountain State Park in North Georgia. Best Fall colors I've ever seen...

MARC MP36 23 was pushing train 851 away from the Saint Denis stop heading for Washington, DC. Since the closing of the Elkridge stop in the mid-90s, MARC's next stop down the line is Dorsey.
It was beautiful morning on the former B&O even if the MARC power isn't what it once was.
For Steam Sunday here's another from what was unquestionably the longest train chase of my life...well over 500 miles from DeQuincy, Louisiana to the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas (though not in one day)!
This is Canadian Pacific 2816, the famed 'Empress', an H1b class 4-6-4 Hudson built by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1930. Orignally retired in 1960 after there decades of pulling CP passenger trains the locomotive was purchased by F. Nelson Blount for preservation as part of his Steamtown collection in Vermont. It later moved with the rest of the collection to Scranton until CP purchased it back from the National Park Service in 1998. Returned to service in 2001 she operated until 2012 when E. Hunter Harrison took the reigns at CP. Eight years later Keith Creel (EHH's successor) reversed course and she was fired up for a test run and then a second restoration began which was completed in 2023.
As a way of celebrating the approval and consummation of the Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern Railway merger on April 14, 2023 CPKC is running a tri nation tour across the length of their newly combined network. The trip began in Calgary on April 24th and concluded in Mexico City on June 7th before returning home for a total of three months on the road and 9000 miles round trip!
Here she is paused for a service stop in a strange land far from her historic home rails operating across Union Pacific trackage rights on modern day UP's Houston Sub the former Southern Pacific (T&NO) Sunset Route mainline. She is sitting just east of the Van Hut Lane crossing at about MP 350.8 near the eastern city limits and will soon be on the move toward Englewood Yard and through downtown on her way to Sugarland, Rosenburg and ultimately home rails in Kendleton where she'll rest for a couple nights.
