Looking forward to seeing some iconic locations again soon. Some are always busy, but it's still a pleasure to be there.
Derwent Water is always busy, as I found back in 2019 for this image - finding a perfect view can be tricky sometimes...
This is a handheld shot with incredible still water - A small snow squall had just passed and the weather changed in an instant. 15 minutes earlier this scene had choppy water. As my goal on this shoot was sunset, I had time to double back and re-shoot spots.
GPS is for Stansbury Island and not the exact spot of the photo.

No real story here, it just made me laugh. I do try to take my photography seriously, I do. I just could not resist. If I told you he was at Machu Picchu you would all say ts ok. He was on San Juan Island if that makes it any more valid to post. Enjoy.
Green Grass Dart / Skipper (Ocybadistes walkeri)
Timing? Or just good luck?
I was actually trying to get a shot of one of the Native Bees that was on the Dandelion, the bee left a microsecond before I clicked. When I looked at the image I saw I had the Skipper in flight and with tongue out as it approached the Dandelion. I'll take it - I have never captured a Skipper in flight before.

It got really windy here. Like, hold onto your hat windy! I laid down on the dock to get this male Bufflehead Duck bobbing up and down. One tough duck to shoot anyhow. You need perfect light to get all those beautiful colors on the head. Shark River NJ.
The supermoon rising over Lake Michigan with the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse in the foreground. As I am sure many of you already know, this was the largest and brightest full moon since 1948, and it won’t be this big and bright again until 2034.
Quite a bit of planning went into this photograph. I used Google Earth on my computer and the PhotoPills and Sky Guide apps on my mobile phone to precisely plan my location and timing. The lighthouse was approximately 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) from my tripod placement, so my DOF chart told me that if I focused on the lighthouse, the moon would also be in focus (infinity) at 400mm and f/5.6.
I was working with a 30-megapixel image, so I was able to crop generously to accentuate the scale, and I still had a very large file to work with. The sky was clear. I let the moon rise above most of the horizon haze before taking the picture. It was a beautiful sight!
It just shows you timing is everything in photography… I was focus tracking the planes and hit the shutter button as soon as I seen them come into the light 💡… but clearly my reaction had not been fast enough such that by the time i got the first shot off… they had already flown just out the fleeting sun rays that is lighting up the smoke trails… a so near shot!
Set up my camera for macro shot of the flowers and this moth/butterfly landed and made a great macro photo bomb.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
It all depends upon the timing. I should know, I am a drummer. There were so many times I would be stopped at the beginning of a song and told it's too fast or it is too slow.
Then upon some study I found out that almost, or the majority of songs were in the same speed. Very little differences.
Happy Whatever day it is.
This stallion ( on the left) was trying to cozy up to some of the females who had young foals. The females seemed annoyed with him haha.
The sun rises inside the arch of Bow Fiddle Rock in Portknockie. Some pre planning and luck with the weather helped when photographing this sunrise.
Timing is everything and in this case I waited quite a while for this Brown Creeper to open his mouth, then I photographed him doing so.
Timing is everything, and everything came together this evening as three trains converged at Dock 6 while the distinctive laker John D. Leitch loaded ore. Great light and color with the shadows holding off long enough to get all three trains unobstructed. Credit Air Missabe One and skillful piloting by Gus.
With clouds building, there were still occasional breaks that allowed for some filtered sun. One such hole opened up in a timely fashion as CSX L302 came into Howell, MI. through WE Howell.
Yeah, I know they're 'just' Mute Swans, but I couldn't not take this shot as the pair drifted through water rendered black by the reflection of the black barge behind them.
Earlier this year CP ran a CWR train along the Galt Sub dropping rail in various locations before continuing south down the Hamilton Sub. While working their way east, the consist was left tied down on the Killean Storage Track on Galt's east side one evening giving local photographers the opportunity for night shots of the London-built SD40-2.
With the time change 'springing ahead' during the night, I was afforded an extra hour of darkness in the morning, with just enough time to grab a few shots after work before the sun came up.

After watching an eastbound pass by in Durand where the sun started to come out after a couple of isolated storms skirted the area to the north, I saw that L514 was ready to leave Flint after the eastbound got past them in Flint. I went east hoping the cloud line would keep moving east and let that sky work for the afternoon westbound. After a lot of waiting, and anxiously watching the train slowly get closer, the cloud line and blue skies were slowly coming, but it was going to be close. With about 45 seconds to spare, the clouds cleared out, the sky opened up, and the sun cast a warm glow on the land and blackened the sky.
