A blog to indulge two greatest interests - amateur astronomy and the internet.
Comet Facts
Fact1: A comet is a conglomerate of particles bound together by ice (not necessarily H2O water ice, it could be dry ice (CO2), for example)
Fact2: When a comet approaches the sun the ice melts and releases the particles from the main body.
Fact3: The tail of a comet always points away from the sun.
As the picture below shows, there are in fact two tails, both curved, and they are 30 MILLION kilometres long. That's a lot of fine particles. The theory is that the solar wind is responsible for the blue gas and gravity alone for the larger particles.

Shot this on my first morning in Perth - slept quite little the night before, and had to walk like 5km to get here (and earned a blister as reward). It was also my first real test of the X100T as a landscape camera. Everything turned out great - I didn't find myself missing the wide angle field of view, and I was treated to some lovely still water and some very nice clouds :)
Technical Details:
Fuji X100T + WCL-X100
2.5 seconds, f/16, ISO 200

Tinbie's first show at 6 months old and he won Best of Breed, beating Pipit and a special. We showed for 2 days and he came home with 3 points.
Between the show and family visiting, we have not had any time for flickr and have lots of catching up to do....
Although this is similar to one I have shot before, I thought Id try it again for the challenge, I think its quite beautiful even in black and white.
Plows are something I haven't shot much of over the years, mostly because the snowfall in New York's Capital Region usually doesn't warrant them. January 7, 2003 was a major exception, however. With our area having been hit with two back-to-back nor'easters, something had to be done. On this day, I was out running errands when I came across a fairly normal CP Train 169 heading north out of Albany with the usual pair of NS Dash-9s for power. Being on break from college and not having much else to do, I decided to follow the train north. After jumping ahead of the train and arriving in Mechanicville, I was pleasantly surprised to find a CP plow train with this Jordan Spreader holding on the Colonie Main at CPF467. I headed up to Coons to wait for it, and had the opportunity to shoot ST Train AYMO first. Then came the dramatic moment seen here, and after that Train 169 and ST Train EDMO (4 trains at Coons in 1 hour!). I then headed up to Crescent where I caught a Guilford plow train coming off the Rotterdam Branch (a photo of which can be found in my B&M book). This was quite the catch for me at this time as I had only been doing railroad photography for a few years and wasn't yet connected to the rest of the railfan community to have even known that two plow trains would be running! So, thank God I was too young and naive to blow-off a pair of NS Dash-9s on 169!
Pitch & putt is een geweldige manier om mee te beginnen als je de golfsport wilt leren beheersen. Geen licentie nodig, gewoon ontspannen de holes aflopen. De afstanden zijn een stuk korter, maar voor een beginner, prima!
Tough birding conditions this afternoon - fairly blustery winds made spotting and then trying to stay focused on the birds in the swaying trees and branches challenging!!!
My "beginners luck" continued however, as I spotted this scarlet honeyeater perched towards the centre of a flowering bush.
Not the best of compositions - but you take what you can get sometimes - I'm pretty happy with it!!
Hope you like this too - thanks for any comments, views or favorites!!
Have an awesome day!!
My partner and I were driving from Westchester, NY up to Salem, NY for a ceramics event with her studio, and as we were driving up Rt. 22 I noticed we crossed the Batten Kill, at which point I started wondering if we were near the famous Batten Kill Railroad. At the next grade crossing I peeked left... nothing. Peeked right.. OH WOW! There was 4116 idling with a cut of cars! So we pulled over real quick and I grabbed a few shots of the 1950's vintage ALCO RS-3 as it shunted a few cars on industry sidings. It was quite serendipitous considering how much difficulty others have had trying to catch the BKRR in action.
Last summer I took my niece to the local quilt museum where I picked up a kit for a sashiko potholder. Last week while I was avoiding the knitting I pulled out this kit for some entertainment. The design is stamped in water soluble ink which is helpful for the beginner learning the rhythm of the stitches which are meant to be 2/3 stitch and 1/3 space.
