I wasn't trying to get a butt shot. Just a nice group shot. But the dove had other ideas. Just as I pressed the shutter, the dove did this.
White Wing Dove (Zenaida asiatica)
Female Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus)

Single shot astro landscapes can require tricky timing, like catching the only passing vehicle at night while using a self timer, during the changing light of astronomical twilight! Tamron lens, processed in Lightroom with daylight white balance.

Trying to take an image of the acorn cap and a chickadee landed on it.....twist of the camera and I got a cool image.
A pair of SD70Ms haul a PRAL (Proviso, IL-Altoona, WI) manifest up the Milwaukee Subdivision south of Butler Yard among some prairie plants and popping fall colors in perfectly golden evening light. Despite the rural appearance, this is an incredibly suburban spot, right alongside Wisconsin highway 100, Mayfair Road, on the edge of Milwaukee proper and adjacent to the Milwaukee County Zoo. The railroad enters an impressive quasi-tunnel just north of here, bringing it under the massive intersection of Mayfair and Bluemound roads.
WA-1 / Y120? comes off the south end of the Waterville yard lead with 4 cars to sort and manage in the yard. Although CSX takes the reigns in this area, the timing and train coordination of Pan Am still lurks.
As was trying to get a shot of me holding this little pink flower, a hoverfly landed on it :o)

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
Just as Doc was exiting our tiny grocery store in Glennallen - 5 big tour buses pulled in dumping out well over two hundred troops. They all made a wild dash for the doors, and at times were bottle necked. I don't see how our store could possibly have met the needs of all those hungry young people. It's a good thing Doc and I got there before they did.
Two times a year, sun lines up for this reflection on the windows of the club house. With the low clouds and clear horizon, this makes for a nice composition...

UP 844 arrives into Pacific, MO for a stop as the sun pops out. This was the only sun seen on the 844.
Well away from its normal morning timing, here 60010 passes Miskin in the Vale of Glamorgan with 6B13 10:05 Robeston Sidings to Westerleigh Murco. Some recent bankside vegetation clearance has finally opened up this view once again.
Perfect shutter timing by the photographer, the loco looks to be an LNWR 4-4-0, photographed in the 1910s or 1920s. The negative has 'Ptarmigan' written on the edge, a George Vth class 4-4-0 carried that name and number 1681. On a 4-track main line, I'm not sure exactly where, there is a smudged mark on the negative, could be Rugby.
In timing that was fortunate to coincide with where I was walking, an Omnidekka spare was arriving into Chilwell on the 36 and I made a tiny diversion up to the Bramcote Lane/Inham Road junction to make use of the good photo location there. I didn't even have to wait 30 seconds for the silver roof to appear as the bus turned off Bramcote Avenue and then came over the slight hill into full view.
In a fairly similar view to what I took in July of its immediate sibling, 909 is about to make the turn off Bramcote Lane, towards the 36 terminus on Inham Road, on 8.8.22
Little was I to know that later the very same day, the orange 22 plates would begin to enter service and largely eliminate the appearance of spare buses on the 36 within a couple of days... and that 909 itself would be withdrawn the same day I uploaded this photo!
I hope I am not boring you with my "wild waves and rugged shoreline" shots. but seing these unusual big waves rolling in and crashing against these rock formations is awesome.
I spent 2 1/2 hours yesterday shooting 200+ photos on this beach.... practicing my timing to catch the transparent turquoise light coming through the breaking wave!

My trials with film continue. This is my 1st moonlit scene captured by a long exposure, with my Pentax 6x7 and SMC Takumar 105mm f/2.4 and Fuji Acros 100 film. Eagle Island lighthouse providing some of the illumination.
I've a lot to learn about exposures and developement times and technics of developing the negatives so that I don't leave imperfections!! I'm enjoying the process so far though, I could take hundreds of digital images on any given night and batch process in LR but with one roll of film I get just 10 exposures, long exposures, which is fantastic because I get time to enjoy the sensory aspect of being out in the night.

Perfect timing - 2 freights meet at Rødovre. I could see the Hector Rail freight approaching, but I wasn't sure if it would be blocked by the other freight. Fortunately I managed to get a decent picture of Hector Rail 241.011 "C-3PO" - even though not with the whole train - with Samskip intermodal freight 42706 (Krefeld-Uerdingen - Falköping) on January 21, 2026, 14:10.
I believe this is the first time I was able to catch a train coming under the DeKalb coal tower at the exact time the setting sun was shining through one of the windows of the coal tower. There is only a minute or two of opportunity for this, so even though the sun was a little muted due to clouds, the timing was just perfect on this 8-29-17 date.
