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...

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.

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.

Not the best moment for blossom…

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 Martini bell tower was destroyed by the Germans in WWII, just one day before the liberation. The tower fell into the church.

Due to the lack of financial resources the church and tower were restored in 1965.

 

This shot was taken at National Remembrance Day, what a metaphor.

Set up my camera for macro shot of the flowers and this moth/butterfly landed and made a great macro photo bomb.

ist hier wirklich erforderlich. Die Wellen sind herausfordernd und verlangen einiges Können beim Surfen am Strand der Insel La Graciosa, die der Insel Lanzarote vorgelagert ist,

Die beiden Inseln gehören zur Kanarischen Inselgruppe (Spanien) und sind nicht weit vom afrikanischen Kontinent entfernt.

I posted a panorama from this location at the Capitol previously but I wanted to share this one as well. It may seem like a simple image, but its tough to get the timing right (or lucky). The cherry blossoms have to be in bloom and the daffodils (I think that's what those are) must be as well. Then you have the sky. Sometimes she cooperates, most of the time she does not. In this case it was all working together. Fortunately I can swing by this place on my way to work, so its easy to watch. Let me know what you think.

ODC - Timing is Everything

 

Take Aim - Bonus st 8/23

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

We took a sunset dinner cruise on the Seine on evening. I had wanted an opportunity to shoot the cathedral from this angle and could not believe my luck at the timing. This was taken from the bow of our cruise boat.

I took a three shot bracket with one two under and one two over and did an HDR in LR. Then I used Color Efex Pro 4 to intensify the contrast, color and sharpness.

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.

Luckily the Short Eared Owls (only 2) waited until 20 minutes after I got to the site to show themselves. Normally you either wait all day for a brief glimpse - or turn up just after the action.

Just after I posted a picture of the friendly Red-shouldered hawk that used to come and play with me, this guy showed up. I sure did miss the friendly one. It looks like I may have another really friendly one to play with. He's been coming pretty much each day. He is not consistent with his timing but he does stick around while I am outside.

 

In this image, I was explaining the rules for visiting the yard. Songbirds are off limits. However, he is welcome to have all of the frogs, lizards and snakes he can find. Oh, and he has to allow me to take images of him from time to time.

 

So far so good, he's been sticking to the rules and he has amazing skills when it comes to finding frogs and lizards to snack on. He will spot a frog sleeping on a gutter and swoop in to get it. Then off he goes to a neighbors tree to enjoy his meal.

 

Have a terrific Tuesday, happy snapping.

 

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.

I was pleased with the timing of this one, catching the bird just as it launched into flight.

The challenge with shooting the male Ruby-throated Hummingbird is to catch them with their gorget lit up. The Black & Bloom is finally blooming and my other plants are close to blooming. So I'll have more opportunities. My backyard.

Flickr friends, what do you think ? This is the original, straight out of the camera, but I thought it looked a bit squintbso I cropped it, see version 2. But now I think they both look a bit squint, it's irritating,,because the one I posted on IG is more satisfactory, but theynwon't let me share! Oh well , if anyone has time I'd appreciate your comments :)
