A shot while on my vacation over the past week.

The campaign to get a good, well-lit photo of the George Robert White Memorial continues. With the aid of sun-spotting software, I'm starting to dial in on times of the day and of the year when I've got a chance of a good photo.

The photo I want continues to elude. But if you hit the Public Garden between 10 and 11, it's possible to get something nice from this angle. If you're willing to climb up on top of the marble edging of the fountain.

I took this shot in Panama City Beach this fall. I love it when the timing of a shot works out just perfectly. Here is a Brown Pelican with a seagull nicely placed behind.

Timing...

Missy was so good at sniffing out abandoned tennis balls and now it looks as if she passed her skills onto her friend Tasku.

It helps a lot that I can still walk with Tasku and Taivas A forest walk is not the same without a dog to share it with.

this dragonfly kept flying back to the same spot i wondered if i could get a shot of it landing... alas, after about 15 shots i was finally able to get what i wanted! thank goodness for the flash...

Railfanning can be a frustrating game. Sure you clear your schedule to be in position, you make sure to leave early for the drive then the hike, you trek down to the river, carefully pick out your spot covering your pants in tiny pickers in the process, and finally pinch yourself at the realization that there is actually a train on the way with matching power on a beautiful sunny October day. With your cushion of time you check the settings again and fire a few test shots (1). The water is gloriously smooth for the half hour you wait. Finally you can hear the horn as the train approaches the bridge. A glance over your shoulder reveals a pontoon full of daisy pickers putting into the scene trashing the reflection (2). OK, L517 has to slow down for the bridge, maybe there is time and things start to clear up until (3) another boat heads downstream to make sure the reflection is spoiled.

It's a good thing the posse of photographers lining the shore left the rocket launchers at home. Of course, if looks could kill...

That's OK perhaps the stars will align for another chance at this in my lifetime, or not. October 17, 2021.

Taken at the lakefront in Lincoln Park yesterday during a Strobist meetup with models. This girl was standing on the edge of the concrete wall along Lake Michigan actually waiting for the waves to hit the wall and get a little splash of water but she she didn't expect the lake would be so generous. She got what she came there for. And she had a lot of fun. Me too. Who needs models when you capture moments like this?

470 finally departs Muskego, as the storm clouds have moved in. If only he had left maybe 10 minutes earlier, he would'be been beautifully lit up in the early afternoon sun.

#Timing

Once upon a time, Genesee & Wyoming started a hot boxcar train between Portland and Los Angeles, working with Union Pacific. It did not last long. One of the northbound trains passes our house in Klamath Falls during 2001.

I had my first adult tooth pulled on Monday, one right in front of the wisdom tooth, and it was no fun! I'd never experienced even a cavity before. It had been hurting for weeks, then somehow cracked in half. Spent the day with one side of my head aching and taking the powerful pain killers they give out for this type thing. I never take stuff for pain but certainly needed those. Didn't even know we were heading for a snow.

I think I have been dealing with some type of health problem every snow this year so far, but this one was probably the most scenic so no way I was going to sit home. I figured this scenic patch of daffodils was up and blooming, so I drove on out to get some photos same as last year when the snow covered them also.

An out-take from an old project.

Pay attention now.

Rifle fires pellet at razor blade. Blade splits pellet in two. Two halves of pellet wing their way towards a pair of gelatin filled Christmas bulbs.

And timing is set just a little two early.

Although if you look very closely, you can see tiny cracks staring in the light brown bulb as the half pellet just touches the glass surface.

Not that closely, you'll get nose grease on your monitor :-)

• 480 hp @ 6,800 rpm. 430 lb-ft torque @ 3,200–5,200 rpm.

• Dual overhead camshafts with variable intake-valve timing.

• Cast aluminum cylinder block with high-endurance/low-friction plasma-sprayed bores.

• IHI twin turbochargers, one per cylinder bank.

• Pressurized lubrication system with thermostatically controlled cooling.

Drivetrain

• ATTESA ET-S All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with independent rear-mounted transaxle integrating transmission, differential and AWD transfer case.

• Rigid, lightweight carbon-composite driveshaft between engine and transaxle.

• Electronic traction control plus 1.5-way mechanically locking rear differential.

• Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC-R) with three driver-selectable settings: Normal (for daily driving, controls brakes and engine output), R-Mode (for ultimate performance, utilizes AWD torque distribution for additional vehicle stability) and Off (driver does not want the help of the system).

• Hill Start Assist prevents rollback when starting on an incline.

DisclaimerVDC-R cannot prevent accidents due to abrupt steering, carelessness, or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.

Transmission

• 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission with three driver-selectable modes: Normal (for maximum smoothness and efficiency), Snow (for gentler starting and shifting on slippery surfaces), and R mode (for maximum performance with fastest shifts).

• Fully automatic shifting or full sequential manual control via gearshift or steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

• Dual clutch design changes gears in less than 0.5 second (0.2 second in R mode).

• Downshift Rev Matching (DRM).

• Predictive pre-shift control (in R mode) based on throttle position, vehicle speed, braking and other information.

Wheels and Tires

• 20 x 9.5" (front) and 20 x 10.5" (rear) super-lightweight forged-aluminum wheels with Gunmetal Gray finish.

• Exclusively developed nitrogen-filled Bridgestone® RE070A high-capacity run-flat summer tires, 255/40R20 front and 285/35R20 rear.

• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

• Optional exclusively developed nitrogen-filled Dunlop® run-flat all-season tires, 255/40R20 front and 285/35R20 rear (includes Bright Silver wheels).

Brakes

• Brembo® 4-wheel disc brakes with 4-wheel Antilock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Preview Braking.

• Two-piece floating-rotor 15-inch front and rear discs with diamond-pattern internal ventilation.

• 6-piston front/4-piston rear monoblock calipers.

Steering

• Rack-and-pinion steering with vehicle-speed-sensitive power assist.

• 2.6 steering-wheel turns lock-to-lock.

Suspension

• 4-wheel independent suspension with Bilstein® DampTronic system with three driver-selectable modes: Normal/Sport (for automatic electronic control of damping), Comfort (for maximum ride comfort), and R mode (engages maximum damping rate for high-performance cornering).

• Electronically controlled variable-rate shock absorbers. High-accuracy progressive-rate coil springs.

• Front double-wishbone/rear multi-link configuration with aluminum members and rigid aluminum subframes.

• Hollow front and rear stabilizer bars.

Body/Chassis

• Exclusive Premium Midship platform with jig-welded hybrid unibody.

• Aluminum hood, trunk and door skins. Die-cast aluminum door structures.

• Carbon-reinforced front crossmember/radiator support.
