I've now completed the three way shootout series (four parts) between the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II, EF 16-35mm f/4L IS, and Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD. I've learned a lot about each of these lenses, and feel confident sharing my conclusions now after extensive testing. You can check out the conclusion of this comparison series and my buying recommendation here:

Wednesday morning, I went to the River
as it was very still...and took many pix. Found a spot where the ducks hang out,
and these three caught my eye.

These are three of the modular buildings that I've designed in MLCad that I'm reasonably satisfied with. The dark red and blue buildings will undergo some aesthetic tweaks to their interiors and back-sides when converted to real bricks.
As dusk descends upon us in the mountains, we get ready to leave.

Three Shires Head is the point on Axe Edge Moor where the English counties of Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire meet. It is on the River Dane, which marks the Cheshire border in this area. On the east of the river, the border between Staffordshire and Derbyshire runs north-east for about a mile to Cheeks Hill, on the higher regions of Axe Edge Moor. From Cheeks Hill the border runs south then east to the head of the River Dove.
The presence of the packhorse bridge shows the importance of this route for traders from nearby Flash and Hollinsclough to Macclesfield. Silk was produced at Hollinsclough, and sent to the mills at Macclesfield.Coal was mined from about 1600 on Axe Edge
Day Three-Hundred and Forty Eight, "Meet Shadow" theme, fourteenth shot.
Sunday morning. The family time by definition. We play in the living room while it keeps raining outside. Later we'll have lunch at my in-laws, so Ombra will start getting accustomed to their place too, should we ever need to leave her there for a few days. I still have to go through the same process with my parent's place and my sister's. Ombra need to understand how large her "pack" is and how many are the places which belongs to the pack. She's already showing signs of a territorial and protective inclinations, so my job will be to soften and shape her behaviour, cause I know there's no way to erase it.
She's a sweet little puppy who loves her new family and is very cute when, to protect it, she barks at "strangers". But what is now cute will rapidly become an issue if she's not properly educated.

Coyote figures and their shadows on top of my TiVo. The middle one is by Robert Yarnell of Shields and Yarnell fame.
Last hour of copper-hued winter sunlight of the day, looking back from the far western end of Princes Street Gardens as it meets the old Saint Cuthbert's kirkyard towards the east end of Princes Street, taking in three Edinburgh landmarks on the city's skyline. On the left the decorative tower on the edge of one of the shops (now Burtons), sadly at the moment lacking its iconic globe sculpture which normally adorns it but which has been away for restoration for rather a long time (it is promised to be returned but seems to be taking a very long time to do so). In the centre the unmistakable Scott Monument, hundreds of feet of monument to Scottish literature, Thunderbird 3 in Gothic form. On the right the great clock tower of the massive Balmoral Hotel, formerly the North British Hotel, one of those grand hotels built in the golden age of the railways as fine lodgings for the richer travellers. With the setting sun hitting them and being able to fit them into the frame together from this point I couldn't resist a quick zoom and snap.
Petal with rosy cheeks,
Petal with thoughts of your own,
Petal of my crimson-white flower out of June,
Little petal of my heart!
Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh, PA
Three Rivers Stadium was a multipurpose sports stadium and event facility located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
The stadium's name was derived from the junction of the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers, where they formed the Ohio River, the "Golden Triangle". The stadium was located on the north side of the confluence.
Three Rivers played home to Pittsburgh's Pirates, Steelers and the USFL Pittsburgh Maulers, as well as to concerts, monster truck rallies, professional wrestling shows, Billy Graham revivals, and other types of events. In all, Three Rivers Stadium hosted over 5,000 events in its 30 years of existence, but it was seen as an outdated facility in the "luxury box" and "signature stadium" era of the 21st century.
The stadium's design was nearly circular, attempting to facilitate use by the Pirates and Steelers with equal accommodation. Unfortunately, as was the case with other cities in which this so-called "cookie cutter" approach was employed (Washington, New York, Houston, Atlanta, St. Louis, San Diego, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia), the fundamentally different shapes of the playing fields made the stadium inadequate to the needs of either sport. Even by "cookie cutter" standards, the upper deck at Three Rivers was exceptionally high, making for steep climbs by event attendees and adding to its cavernous feel. By the 1990s, the use of multiple low-bid contractors in its construction began to show, as parts of the concrete began to turn differing shades of brown.
The stadium did have its moments of glory and drama, mostly in its first decade of existence. The Pirates won the 1971 and 1979 World Series while playing here, upsetting the favored Baltimore Orioles in both series. The 1971 World Series featured the first night game in World Series history (Game 4). Roberto Clemente ended his career while playing here, garnering 3,000 hits, before his death in a plane crash while bringing earthquake relief supplies. Slugger Willie Stargell established himself as a fan favorite. The Pirates also made the playoffs during 1990-1991-1992, only to be thwarted by the Cincinnati Reds and the Atlanta Braves, and since then by the competitive disproportions of the big-contract era in baseball. It also hosted the 1974 and 1994 Major League Baseball All-Star Games.
The Steelers fielded what was arguably the greatest NFL team of all time, culminating in four championship trophies in six years during the 1970's with wins in Super Bowl IX, Super Bowl X, Super Bowl XIII and Super Bowl XIV. The Steelers, coached by Chuck Noll, featured quarterback Terry Bradshaw, running back Franco Harris, receiver Lynn Swann, and defender "Mean" Joe Greene, who anchored the "Steel Curtain." The "Immaculate Reception" occurred here, in a 1972 AFC playoff game against the Oakland Raiders. In the 1990's the Steelers, coached by Bill Cowher, again made the Super Bowl (Super Bowl XXX), only to lose to the Dallas Cowboys. One of the biggest upsets in NFL history occurred on January 15, 1995, when the San Diego Chargers scored a last-second goal line stand and upset the Steelers in the AFC championship game, 17-13, negating a stellar performance by quarterback Neil O'Donnell.
For the 2000 football season, Three Rivers Stadium was the interim home for the University of Pittsburgh varsity football team. During that season, the stadium played host to the last game of the longtime Pitt-Penn State rivalry, which Pitt won, 12-0.
Three Rivers Stadium was imploded on February 11, 2001. The Pirates moved into a baseball-specific facility, PNC Park, situated farther east on the north bank of the Allegheny River. The Steelers later that year moved into Heinz Field, a facility built less than 50 feet (15 m) from where Three Rivers stood.
Hi all,
You may notice this photo is a repost from many months ago.
In the past month or two, I've realised that my photos... are not up to the standard I had hoped for. This was as a result of composition or post processing skills or no depth, the list goes on.
Basically I'm at a stage where I've finally gotten over the "wow my photos are getting pretty good" to "no, my photos are basically full of dog turds and I need to start over."
So that's where I'm going back to. I'm going to go back to considering myself a complete amateur in producing photographs and begin anew.
On the way in the last few months, I've picked up a few post processing techniques and redone a few of my older pictures. I believe this version is a much more appealing one to the eye and hope you enjoy the journey : )
I rode the 216 from Kingston to Sunbury Village and then stepped back for DEL2264 on the 235, which is seen on the stand outside the Three Fishes. 21.10.20.
Three pigs on the beach along from Tawala approaching sunset.
This was one of those moments just had to capture, where seconds mattered and with the sea salt quickly covering the lens there wasn't much time. And that's the moment a local decided to come and approach me to show me some pictures on his phone of illegal gold mining up in his home town area far to the west in Ghana... I did of course look through them but by then had lost these little beauties.
