Week 17 -2014 "Black and White
Wasn't sure about making it square or not... the spoon throws it off centre?
Tonal slider in the bright green section gave the strongest colour for the red KitKat wrapper, and the dark vignette helped even out the tonal range, I thought... and yes, I ate it once the "photoshoot" was over! lol
This lovely picture was shot in London with the kit lens.
I am lucky that this man stayed still enough for him to be sharp, yet the train moving created a nice blur.
The slow shutter speed really suited this picture.
I've been continuing my learning and practicing Photoshop for the past few months.
Over the last year I've learned a lot about photography a few great places that I think everyone should check out:
Beginning: Froknowsphoto (froknowsphoto.com/)
Lighting: Strobist (strobist.blogspot.com/)
Photoshop: Phlearn (phlearn.com/).
These skills have been really combining recently to allow me to create exactly what I envision and I'm very thankful to these people and their websites.
Time is one of those things that I think makes a great subject because its something that affects us greatly while being nearly invisible. I liked the idea of trying to portray time in the context of a photo. I hope you enjoy!

The things of Time are in connivance with eternity. The shadows serve You. The beasts sing to You before they pass away. The solid hills shall vanish like a worn out garment. All things change and die and disappear. Questions arrive, assume their actuality and disappear. In this hour I shall cease to ask them and silence shall be my answer. The world that Your love created, that the heat has distorted, that my mind is always misinterpreting, shall cease to interfere with our voices.
-Thomas Merton, Entering the Silence, pg. 487
We just got our tickets and exited the Richardson Station to note this arrival. We nailed a few of the steamup shots and gooned Henry when it came time to enter the yards through the depot. I already spied that the Rico vestibule business car brings up the rear. I just had to shoot the remaining standard gauge D&RGW (Dangerous & Rapidly Growing Worse) #683 Consolidation, officially a C28 or Consolidation with 28,000 pounds of tractive effort standing at the station. A consolidation engine configuration has two pilot wheels and eight drivers, 1 and four a side. The pilot wheel help buide a road engine into curves on the line. Made by Baldwin in September 1890, #11207, as D&RG 583, Class 113. It became D&RGW 683, Class C-28, in 1924. Bob Richardson of station name, was the original who bought old mountain railroad gear and stored them at his railroad motel in Alamosa, Colorado until he got the chance to start the Museum in Golden. It was he who lent me the only original of the D,L&NW photo, comment. I think he had railroads running in his veins. But for the tenacity of one man... The collection seems to expand regularly.
Be aware that as you exit the depot right here, you will see the separate, new CRRM library building where many researchers have poured over the books that would entail a king's ransom to procure. It's right behind me right here. Real foamers better figure on allotting serious time to that building. I have already read many of the valuable tomes to Mac Poor's "DSP&PRR" that no money can buy now and the "Colorado Midland" masterpiece. I even read the engineer's warning to the new kid fireman to never stick his head out of the cab while crossing the bridge over the Colorado (Grand) River at Aspen, Colorado. Suffice it to say it's wise to listen to your elders. Research is best done across these station tracks, even if only for engineers' warnings.
Eddie and I spaced the Christmas Steamup this year but he found there was a "Black on Track" costume event upcoming. He really wanted to see this steam up. We are REALLY waiting for the RSG #20 to return for a steamup. Donate generously at the CRRM.That day will be shoulder to shoulder at the Colorado Railroad Museum; keep an eye on upcoming events on their web site. Outlanders could target Colorado trips with the expectations of hitting an event here in Golden. The entire yard is accessible during weekdays. Someone will have already been here from your home town and/or country. These are the takes everyone is foaming at the mouth to see.
Outrageous light here for the bold early steam, IMHO. Steam is a winner in winter but the wind made it a blustery day. Are you ready for some steam? The first excursion was not quite full but is building on this blustery Saturday morning runby. The re-enactors are busy putting on a show now that we took our ride.

A fun little fact for you guys is that David actually photographed me for the first time at the Melbourne Camera Club in 2002 - just over 22 years ago now. We couldn't have known then that we'd continue to work together for what has become literally decades later but Dave tells me I'm one of the only people he has shot repeatedly for 20+ years. I'll find a photo from our shoot back then but in the meantime, enjoy this new one from a few weeks' ago :)

The clock in my classroom doesn’t work - and it’s always 6:27. So, I made a sign for this coming school year. Maybe it’ll bring a smile I won’t see behind the masks.
Yes, I made another trip to check out the Cape May Warbler. Very different light and this time I found the bird to be spending more time hunting insects.

I got these yesterday at Hot Topic. The only one they didn't have was Marceline, so I will be hunting her down later today. I'm glad my sister gave me a Hot Topic gift card for x-mas :) These are so awesome! I love Adventure Time ¦)
Spurred on & inspired by lyrics from an Iron Maiden track 'Hallowed be thy Name':
"I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime,
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time,
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole,
The sands of time for me are running low".
I'd credit all those whose stock images went into putting this together, but regrettably I forgot to note them - all are from DeviantArt.com however.
No element within this image are my own - merely a creation of my own imagination.
There were dozens of sheep in the field next to the canal where I was shooting. As soon as the Sun went down behind the trees they were off. One by one they all turned and marched from right to left.
Never seen this before and have got no explanation. Anyone shed any light on the reason??

I should be back in FLorida but don't know if I will ever have the time and money for a winter break again with the current administration's determination make the rich richer at the expense or people who actually work.
For a precious few seconds, the past collides seamlessly with the present, as a 1981 vintage Hydracon Swordsman crane is sandwiched by two Ford Mondeo's in Derby Road, Sandiacre, Derbyshire. For a second I was annoyed at the car cutting across the picture, until I realised the incredible coincidence of the moment.
