Northern control stand of Munich subway unit 175. It had to push a stuck car right in front of it to the next station.
A 360° panorama of the late winter and early spring sky with an arc of aurora, from a latitude of 51° N. This was March 13, 2021, from home in southern Alberta.
This night there was a bright aurora across the northern sky, so I have oriented the view to place due north just right of centre. The Big Dipper is at right; Leo is rising at far right. The bright winter stars around Orion are at far left to the south. High clouds and haze, partly lit by light pollution here, add the natural glows to the stars, emphasizing the bright stars and constellation patterns. No filter was used here. The yellow arch at left is a band of cloud illuminated by light pollution.
This was a test of new panorama gear, using an Acratech Pan Head on top of a Alyn Wallace/MSM Z-Plate mounted to a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i tracker, to allow taking tracked segments for the panorama, to prevent star trailing. The Z-Plate allowed the Pan Head to mount and move horizontally and vertically in azimuth and altitude despite being on a polar aligned tracker. It worked!
The ground is a stitch of 8 segments shot with the tracker motor off, then blended with a stitch of 20 segments for the sky, in 3 tiers of 8 + 6 + 6 segments, all with the Sigma 24mm lens at f/2.8 and for 1-minute with the Nikon D750 at ISO 1600 for all shots. Stitched with PTGui v12 which at last saves camera metadata when exporting PSD files. The original is 25,600 pixels wide.
This is a re-edit of a shot I posted back in October. At that time I was having some trouble blending the foreground and sky images and didn't really like the result. I went back to it fresh from the start and did a completely different edit with better blending.
This is a shot that I've had in mind for over a year, and I tried to get it in fall of 2015 but I was too early at the location, the foliage was still very green, and I didn't have time to come back that fall, so it had to wait until fall of 2016. Many thanks to Ryan Knapp for joining me in the dark at this active beaver pond that is very popular with moose. I think we heard one in the dark briefly on the other side of the pond, something was breaking branches for a few seconds. The glow on the horizon is light pollution from various towns, probably including Burlington, Vermont, and everything in between.
Nikon D5 with the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens @ 22mm and f/2.8 for all shots. I used 8 shots for the sky and water at ISO 12,800, and stacked them using Starry Landscape Stacker, available for Mac only, although you can do this technique in Photoshop but it's a pain and doesn't always work right. The 10 second exposures at 22mm produced almost pinpoint stars (I should have shot a couple seconds shorter at 22mm to get exact pinpoints), and stacking 8 images in Starry Landscape Stacker aligns the stars and averages out the noise, producing a sky and water shot that has pinpoint stars and low noise. The trees and mountain are from a single shot taken at ISO 1600, 22mm, f/2.8 for 12 minutes. That shot is then blended with the sky/water shot in Photoshop to create an image that is well exposed, sharp, and has low noise from the foreground to the stars.

I finally taught myself how to use Photoshop to put together this collage. These are a few of the shots of the total lunar eclipse showing the sequence of events, going clockwise starting from the bottom.
All shots taken with a Sony NEX-6 mounted on a Celestron C8-SGT with f/6.3 focal reducer.

The film is rated at ISO 400 (don't let the name fool you!). However, on the first test roll all shots were significantly underexposed. So I shot the second roll at ISO 100, which turned out a lot better. The colour rendering is a bit cool and also rather contrasty, but many people like it that way. The definition is not very good, which is a bit disappointing for a film that is effectively quite slow.

The other bus I was going to photograph was the D4, this being Stagecoach 35184 (KX56 KGV) a Dennis Dart. However, I was waiting in Ashmore in a residential estate, where the bus apparently makes a clockwise loop to come back on itself before returning to Daventry. Alas, the bus took the loop anticlockwise, so no shot. At least I managed to get infront of it to get a shot of it along Station Road, albeit a shot I have done many times before. I will have to try again.........
13th July 2018
Now and again I do shoot normal pictures at normal times of the day, without ambushing passersby or waving flashlights around. This is one of them.
It's an early morning view of the Logarska Dolina valley. The buildings to the far left are the Lenar Tourist Farm, which I've recommended before and will do again. The main bed in the apartment we stayed in looks straight out onto these mountains, and - though it was six in the morning - having seen them in this light I couldn't go back to sleep.
This frame is a daylight version of this night view shot last summer. Only, whilst the summer shot had flowers in the meadows, the trees are only just coming into leaf here.
I've pushed pixels around a little - lifting the foreground shadow, and pulling down the sky. Even so, I wonder if this is really a shot for late afternoon - the postcards I see of the place are all shot then, with the light coming in from the right, bringing some more contrast and warmth over the lower slopes and valley floor. Nonetheless, even if the valley floor lacks a little punch in this light, I do like the bright, morning glow on the crags of rock.
I listened recently to an interview with Kenneth Parker, talking about the difference in light between morning and evening time. He describes the lack of dust and haze, and the fresh feel of early morning light compared to sunset. I'm not sure I shot it perfectly, but being out in the crisp morning watching the light play across this scene crystalised his words. Lesson learned - I need to head out early more often!
Hope everyone is having a great week; catching up now.
All shot from the hip. The locals understandably did not allow focused photography in the old city market area.

All shot in this series were shot using a canon speeedlite 430ex and a hamma umbrella triggered by a cactus V2. Light was set above, in front of model.
The last few photos that I've uploaded are from a Thursday drive I took last week. All shots are hand held. Still getting comfortable with the new gear. I have been training an individual to get a Class "A" license. I didn't think it would hurt to bring the camera for our breaks : )
The statue at the site of Homfreyganj massacre, where 44 Indian civilians were all shot dead at point-blank range by the Japanese Army on January 30, 1944 during WWII.
Taken in Homfreyganj near Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India
All shots were taken this week at Radnor Lake, Tennessee

Here you can see all the shots from all 47 weeks!
Title says it all - shot from my home this evening during fantastic lighting heading toowards dark. These street trees only got leaves on within the last two weeks. Spring certainly has sprung here.
Without light this scene would not be interesting at all. Shot with high ISO, so i tried to achieve film look in post (grainy).
A lovely collection of Xmas wreaths found on my walk around east Dulwich yesterday. All shot with my lovely 100mm macro lens so I didn't have to trespass on anyone's property...!!
