I drove up to this roadside waterfall for the first time after the heat wave of June 2021 and the waterfall was barely a trickle. This time the flow was respectable and the light made nice beams as the sun popped over the top of the cliff.
Doug Harrop Photography • Oct. 18, 1976
Doug and his trusty camera were in the Tehachapi Mountains when he composed this spellbinding photograph of two eastbound trains. Southern Pacific 8953 East emerges from a side track, sanders fully engaged, as SP 8652 East waits on the main line at Rowan, California on Oct. 18, 1976.
As is often the case, timing is everything.
Perfect timing as, when parking my car up to take shift, a familiar sound was heard in the distance and LSL's 46100 'Royal Scot' soon rounded the corner working a Saphos tour from Crewe to Scarborough.
'Yorkshire Coast Express' approaching Kirkham Abbey, the sun was in the wrong place, and was just breaking through the clouds, but the Scot still made an impressive sight, and a nice way to begin the afternoon shift.
Timing in photography can make a huge difference in the appeal or action captured.
I was fortunate to capture this ducks behavior at the right time as it seemed to be responding in a less than friendly manner to the other duck nearby! - I love the other duck's indifference to the verbal attack too!!! :-)
I'm sure we could relate to this kind of behavior and probably substitute the ducks for people!! :-)
Hope you like it!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - greatly appreciated!!
Have a tremendous day and week folks!
My favorite train in one of my favorite places - but timing and outside factors needed to line up.
The Empire Builder runs along the former CB&Q mainline towards St. Croix where it will divert off the BNSF St. Paul Subdivision and make a run down the Minnesota side of the Mississippi River. The train lost time in northwestern Montana and was unable to recover, so the lateness sunk, floating just under eight hours. However, that lateness was making it possible for an afternoon shot in the Grey Cloud Dunes Scientific & Natural Area, but that was depending on the will of the dispatcher.
I arrived Grey Cloud Dunes well in advance of the Empire Builder arriving St. Paul Union Depot. In the meantime, I was happy to get some eastbound BNSF intermodal traffic while I waited, additionally watching the clouds come and go and hoping dispatching would route the train on the more scenic BNSF St. Paul Subdivision route winding along the Mississippi River in Cottage Grove, Denmark Township, and briefly in Hastings. At 4:16pm, the Builder departed Union Depot and the hope of seeing it at Grey Cloud was strong. To my surprise, the clouds broke off and the sun proudly shined on my scene - I now just needed the train! Nerves built around the prospect of getting 'the shot,' fingers crossed, but there was still a 50 percent chance the dispatcher would send the Empire Builder straight through Cottage Grove along US 10/61 and avoid Grey Cloud Dunes altogether. My nervousness turned to delight when the distant rumble of eastbound traffic became evident. I should note, too, that I had no idea what power combination would lead this particular run of the Empire Builder. I was just hoping to see it in any form. I was surprised to see this unique pairing of 203 and 301 through the lens as it passed into my scene.
Glorious!
Sunday is my Sunset day, the reason for that I don't have to worry getting up early, Monday is my day off,
All day there was not a cloud in the sky, when I got to the beach all sort of patterns started to develop,
Yes Timing is definitely everything!

It took nearly 10 years, but I finally managed a properly-lit photo of the Pennsylvania Railroad heritage unit. All previous attempts were on overcast days. So here we have NS 8102 leading 25V west through Bound Brook in nice afternoon light, with a haze of exhaust hinting at the train's speed. But it almost didn't happen. Seconds after this photo was taken, 25V met an equally fast-moving 62V right next to me. Timing is everything.

Purple Martin. View Large On Black Purple Martins are aerial insectivores, meaning that they catch insects from the air. The birds are agile hunters and eat a variety of winged insects. Rarely, they will come to the ground to eat insects. They usually fly relatively high, so, contrary to popular opinion, mosquitos do not form a large part of their diet. IMG_6764
In my current life I have to plan pretty far in advance to work in a backpacking trip, which makes it challenging to time an adventure to coincide with shoreline blooms, since that timing varies each summer too. And I never really know until I get there anyway. So I was very pleased to see the color here last summer.
Before the annual fireworks show in Detroit, several old warplanes out of Willow Run were doing fly-bys on the river. I had to time my shots as they passed behind openings in the skyline.
Timing is Everything
Running like clockwork...

Despite having a proceed aspect at the signal at Bena Corral, the engineer waited a good 10 minutes before re-starting his train after waiting the passage of a northbound.
It's almost as if he wanted me to get the golden shot.
Thank you Sir, whoever you are.

A long exposure, landscape image of waves crashing over the rocks at sunrise at Sandend in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
Is a game I play, sometimes.
As Ansel Adams once said, “Sometimes I arrive just when God's ready to have someone click the shutter.”
As Landscape photographers we know that light and timing is everything, of course a little luck goes a long way as well. We were returning home from a place 5 hours away and I did my best to arrive at this spot just as the sun was setting.
It is easy to look up the time of the sunset so I did my best to get us here as close as possible. When we arrived I asked the family if I could stop for yes, just one more photo. They graciously complied and even went a step farther. We needed gas so they went to town in order to fill up giving us enough to get home. (Bless their Souls)
They returned with their treats (as I knew they would) and half an hour later I had a treat of my own. This is the best I have ever seen or photographed Rundle Mountain. She really gave us a light show that evening and I counted at least 7 other photographers who would have gone home with equally gorgeous results. Thanks team for giving this photographer the time needed for nature to do her part.
Long time without water drops :p
