Nature's jewels. Oak Weeping Bracket - Inonotus dryadeus. exuding drops of amber coloured liquid.
The leaf you can see at the front is actually embedded in the fungus, it's engulfing the leaf!
For the 2024 eclipse I wanted to go and photograph it with some sort of classic railroad signal. I had a couple spots in mind in Ohio and in Ontario, but I felt that the bracket mast at the south end of Ottawa would be the most photogenic, especially when studying the weather in the days leading up to it. I remember thinking ahead of time "how insane would it be if we got a train knocking down the signal during totality?" We almost had that happen by about 10 minutes. The clear aspect on the signal was just the absolute cherry, or should I say, diamond on top. A truly mesmerizing experience.

This is a photo of the gill forms on the underside of a bracket fungi growing on the trunk of a tree.

CSX 3380 leads E903 as it continues south, now seen passing the Chessie System brackets at East Pauley, as it enters it's final few miles before reaching the yard in Shelby.
Poplar Bracket or that is what I think it is, if anyone can confirm or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I can't ID the tree though can only think it is some type of Elm. The fungi smells very mushroomy and is brittle now it is dry and is growing in a split in the tree.

sick today. tried exposure bracketing for the first time - these are increments of 1/3 EV. for this to be useful in real life, I need to use higher increments: 2/3 or 1 EV
I also discovered the camera has WB brackeing, good for those sunny/cloudy days when I don't know which setting to choose. might be good for creating different moods too.
Colorado Springs, CO - This atypical view of the Garden of the Gods park, looking southeast and away from the "Balanced Rock", is a HDR comprised of three images in a bracket with two stop separation. EXIF data taken from the median exposure.
I believe that none of the digital photographers nowadays will shoot the scene or subject with only one take. There is always bracketing. Bracketing on exposure. Bracketing on aperture and more important bracketing on composition.
I took a few shots of the same artist in Gastown with minor adjustment of composition. This one was taken with a little more distance from him (relative to the one posted yesterday). More surrounding is included in the frame. More depth of background is included (Same aperture gives you more depth when you move away from your subject).
We can see he is in a crowded tourist area but yet he is concentrated on his drawing.
And I also have this presented in colour. What do you think?

A saprophytic polypore, the Lumpy Bracket is found on most kinds of hardwood trees but most commonly on Beech, forming brackets on standing timber and more often rosettes on the tops of stumps. It causes white rot.
Bracket fungi are sturdy things. A bit of snow doesn't harm this one clinging to its host Birch.
Still a few days yet but hope everyone has a super duper Christmas :)))))
Bracket Fungi produce shelf- or bracket-shaped or occasionally circular fruiting bodies called conks that lie in a close planar grouping of separate or interconnected horizontal rows.They are mainly found on trees (living and dead) and coarse woody debris, and may resemble mushrooms
Fall weekends in Pennsylvania finds passenger trains running all over the Reading and Northern system. On this soggy Saturday in addition to the big trip from North Reading behind steam locomotive 2102, the railroad was running eight LGSR trips from Jim Thorpe into the gorge, a round trip down from Pittston and a round trip from Pottsville.
The latter is what is seen here after arriving from Pottsville with three RBMN Budd RDCs which were led south by SD40-2 3052 (I'm not sure why they weren't running on their own power). After adding RBMN 2012 (GP38-2 blt. Sep. 1979 as high hood SOU 5256) to the north end and boarding passengers they are on the move departing the yard at MP 78.3 on modern day RBMN's Reading Division mainline.
Home of the RBMN's corporate offices, dispatching center, locomotive shop, and covered train shed for their OCS equipment Port Clinton is a railfan's delight with props galore like this Reading Anthracite sign and the historic signal bridge that was saved and reinstalled here (if anyone knows where it was originally I'd love to know). Now fully equipped with a CTC signaled mainline there was virtually nothing here in 1996 when the RBMN chose this site for their new centralized headquarters and shop complex. When the Reading Cluster was acquired from Conrail in 1990 the only thing to be found in this spot was a lonely unsignaled switch in the middle of the woods.

Growing on a living beech tree in Epping Forest. As far as I can tell this is a species of Ganoderma, probably Ganoderma applanatum.
Bracket Fungus common name "Dryads Saddle" (Polyporus squamosus). So named for its saddle shape. The name Dryads Saddle refers to creatures from Greek Mythology (see Wikipedia)
This bracket fungus was found growing on a rotting stump in Ashridge Forest, west of Beacon Road, Ringshall, Hertfordshire oppposite Dockey Wood.
