The timing was perfect as all the girls were arranging where they would be standing when Peter pulled up and signaled for me. My first reaction was the girls must have thought we were related but I could see them watching my every move. I spoke to him in English and asked him if he wanted a date? He said “yes” and I gave him a high price in response to his question to lay the groundwork for the rest of the night. If the girls heard how much I wanted then as I brushed off the other “clients” they would not become suspicious. They may not speak French but they understand Swiss Francs. I got in the car and we drove off out of the district for 30 minutes. One pastry and coffee later, a few pictures and we were back. I looked every bit a pro as I reapplied my lipstick which I had previously whipped off. The girls looked and spoke amongst themselves.

My wife sent me out to get her a bowl of chiil from Steak & Shake just as #145 was passing thru Starne Interlocker on the east side of Springfield. This gave me just the right amount of time to get down to Cockrell Lane, nail a shot of the train in gorgeous late summer light, get the chilli, and then return back home with my wife none the wiser. Perfect timing indeed!

I always have my camera on the seat next to me, ready for anything! Today, I'm heading south on I-57, about to go under the KB&S former Big 4 viaduct, when I see the KB&S Kankakee turn headed to Kankakee. The odds were in my favor to capture this shot!

Just as a cloud moves over the sun, X31 leads B75 and B80 through Mywee as they head South to Vic Dock in Melbourne for unloading as 9374 from Tocumwal in Southern NSW.

After letting a couple Z's around them, a westbound vehicle train throttles up at Edelstein just moments after the storms subsided and the sunshine returned. The timing was impeccable.
The timing of Tim Davie’s resignation couldn’t be worse for the BBC.
Discussions on the renewal of its charter have just commenced, while the licence fee is expected to rise to £181 next year. In a world of increasing competition, the BBC looks vulnerable. It could all now get very, very messy.
In his resignation statement, Mr Davie, the director-general, insisted he was going because of “the very intense personal and professional demands of managing this role over many years in these febrile times”.
BBC sources were adamant – though the claim is scarcely credible given the timing – that his departure was not linked to The Telegraph’s reporting on bias exposed in a 19-page memo including the doctoring of a speech by Donald Trump, anti-Israel reporting and downplaying gender-critical issues.
But Deborah Turness, the chief executive of BBC News, admitted the Telegraph disclosures had done for her. She told staff in her resignation email: “As the CEO of BBC News and Current Affairs, the buck stops with me – and I took the decision to offer my resignation to the director-general last night.”
The resignations of two top executives at the BBC, in part over a misleading edit of a Donald Trump speech, have catapulted the UK’s most important creative and journalistic organisation into one of the most serious crises in its history. A gleeful US president has threatened to sue the broadcaster for $1bn, and is celebrating the “firing” of “very dishonest people” from what his press secretary calls a “leftist propaganda machine”.

Inexperience, timing, camera settings and clouds diffusing the sun corona all conspired to making the conditions to capturing yesterday’s total eclipse second and third contact diamond rings less than ideal. I was unable to shoot the second contact ring but managed to get a couple of shots of the third contact taken only 8 seconds apart although the optimal diamond ring might have occurred between the two shots. Also clearly seen in the images, are red prominences shooting into space but arching back towards the sun’s surface, unlike the more energetic and much larger solar flares (not seen here) blasting into space and appearing as white light.
Anyone out there photographing trains wishes for the appropriate lighting conditions for their approaching subject. Having the sun shine on your subject can be a good a thing or a bad thing depending on many variables. I was happy to see the sun poke its nose up over the mountains on the east bank of the Hudson River as this train approached my perch.

Such is the draw of the temples within the Angkor Wat complex that they become overrun at times. Yes, it was great to see such distinctive old ruins that I had read about since a youth but and as can her seen on the left hand image you often have to learn to be patient and share your visit with tourists from all over the world. Go off the beaten track a little and alter your timing and hey presto you can find solitude as seen in the right hand image.
Timing is everything.....the sun had just risen when this unusual cloud came along and just obscured it.....off shore at Winterton on Sea, Norfolk.

After heading on over to CP Valley for an enticing JR1 yard job with an SD45 duo and OI16 heading through, a headlight comes into view. B115 which was let out of Teaneck an hour ago glides through. Right place, right time.
A bit of luck, here, as having just got off a train from Lichfield at Crewe and immediately presented with a pair of 'Choppers' and a 'Grid' on this barrier wagon move. The train is 6Z26 0901 Crewe CS - Leicester LIP, hauled by Class 20 Nos. 20901 & 20118, and with Class 56 No. 56091 'Driver Wayne Gaskel' at the rear, which I think had worked an overnight from Crewe to Kirkdale CS conveying a pair of Class 777 EMUs (see Tom Adams comments below).

And maybe soon there'll come a day
When no more tears will fall
We each forgive a little bit
And we both look back on it
It's just bad timing that's all

He gazed out ahead of him, picking his target. Trace with his eyes the target line back to his arm, the needle sharp spear tip... Focusing and communicating with the energies around him... His sprint is ready when he is.... totally indulged in the trance of his master concentration... A movement of his hand ignite the flames in his lungs... Horse start his run and took him to the flight with his perfect harmony of steps over the dirt... The spectators are spot focus over the rider, some over the target... Waiting.... with the beating heart...
And then a sudden flash of split of a second, its all over... Releasing all the tension in the air... The results announced. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the game of Tent Pegging... Our Culture... Welcome to Pakistan... and Warm Greetings from Punjab....
Taken: Spring Festival, Tent Pegging Competition, Mandi Bhawaldin, Punjab, Pakistan.
After weeks of effort, I finally got the shot I was after... entire windmill within the sun! I'm pretty happy with this one!
NS C23 rolls through a perfectly timed sucker hole in a solid cloudy fall sky at W. Calvin Rd. near Stoney Point, PA on their way to Meadville. Just happened to stumble across these guys while driving through Greenville, and really lucked out with a little golden sun at just the right time.
Timing is one most important for Landscape Photographer. This shot is the one of my experience how important to prepare properly before execution. I was set my GND 150mm filter, mounted tripod in right place and wait for burning sky shows.
The best season to photograph these pinnacles is mid winter when the sun rises behind them. The best location to photograph them is on the coast line nearest to the pinnacles. It sounds like an easy recipe but getting to this location in winter is tricky to say the least. Only when the right time of year, the right timing of the tide, the right weather conditions the weeks before and the right weather on the day of shooting is it possible to shoot this. This happened last Saturday and I was able to get out there. Finally! I tried it multiple times in winter without success.
But care must be taken. It was only possible on low tide, we had a window of two hours to get there and out again. Usually the sandy access beach gets washed away in winter due to stormy weather but this time the right weather patterns returned some of it back.
We were at a spot where the guide was talking about bats.
"There aren't any here right now, but many overwinter in this section of the cave."
She went on to talk of the first explorer of the cave who when he came to this section in the gloom was suddenly touching soft fur instead of wet rock.
And then a bat flew by us to the amusement of some and the consternation of others.

When I'm running late, I usually blame my "tardying angel" for throwing obstacles in my way, but maybe should blame Murphy's Law from my Murphy bed for bed timing.
This is a spring from the retracted bed, for FlickrFriday's "Timing" and Macro Mondays' "Spiral" challenges.
After the L091, the four of us out there set up for a EB Intermodal. (Like L091), a WB Intermodal beats the EB to the crossing by about 5-10 seconds, which was good except for the one guy who stayed on the other side...
the southern california timing association (SCTA) has been hosting land speed racing meets at el mirage dry lake in the mojave desert since 1937. racers come from all over california to test their skills, to see who can go the fastest in 1.3 miles from a standing start. the event is full of colorful cars, bikes and characters.
