The nets themselves are in fact not coloured. The vibrant colours come from so-called “vispluis” (Dutch word). Vispluis, only used in Holland and Belgium, (translation: +/- fishing fluff) is the name used for the orange, green or blue plastic threads that are placed in bunches under bottom fishing nets. The bunches of plastic threads act as a buffer between the bottom and the net, protecting the net from wear.

A freshly emerged Common Darter portrait from Monday morning, I found plenty of these recently emerged Dragonflies on the walls around the fountain at the Memorial Park. So I tried to get a few close up portraits of these beauties. They were swaying in the wind a bit, but every so often the wind would die and I'd try for another portrait focus stack.
When focus stacking I have to shoot JPEG's with the 1000D as it doesn't cope well in RAW and tends to start buffering after 3 shots, which slows things down too much. This was a 15 image focus stack using using an F/7.1 aperture, ISO 200 and a 1/160 aperture. I used the MP-E 65mm at x2 mag and a diffused flash was used.

Locomotive 943 was built by the Mitsubishi Company of Japan in 1950 and was installed at the park after retirement in 1987 to signifify the friendly relations between Thailand and Japan. It also reminds visitors that the park was once an active railway yard.

Some 20 years ago I bought a cheap (£20 GBP / 32 USD) OO gauge 'Peak' Class 45 diesel made by Mainline
D49 was named 'The Manchester Regiment' and featured an old Ringfield motor based on Analogue 12v power
As I'm gradually migrating to Digital Control I decided to do a trial conversion by adding a DCC Encoder
Not as easy as it sounds as with this old Loco there is no way of just plugging in the new 'chip' as not being 'DCC ready' you have to do some alterations to the original wiring along with some soldering
Studying various Youtube tutorials I took the plunge and I'm happy to say having wired in an 8 pin decoder, it worked first time
However, the loco itself is very basic so I've replaced the buffer beams with plasticard and 3D printed buffers, 3D printed hook and chain link dummy couplings then added various home-made hoses using wire and paper clips
Following these basic upgrades I replaced the various windows with 'Flush Glaze' ones cut to size and glued in using 'Glue n Glaze' liquid and then added scratch-built wind-screen wipers
Finally the 'Yellow ends' and Buffer Beams were repainted plus a good overall 'weathering' was done using brush and cotton bud applications of acrylic and enamel washes
These locos have 8 wheeled bogies so a quick tweak of the wheel 'back to backs' to correct the gauge makes it now a reasonable runner at number 16 in my growing digital fleet

Buffer stop at the Cambrian Railway, Oswestry situated at the end of the head shunt for the sidings south of the station.
I spotted the squirrel looking like he was about to run up the buffers which fortunately he did resulting in the photograph here, Sunday 4.10.26

This not only keeps the animals off the road, but it also buffers the sound of the traffic.

The Sheringham end of the North Norfolk Railway, a privately operated heritage line which operates both steam and diesel-hauled services. It is one of the longest established heritage lines, having been founded in 1965 about a year after the line was closed by British Railways. It once formed part of the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway and runs 5 miles to Holt.
Behind me, rails continue through a level crossing to the modern Sheringham station a short distance away, from which trains can be caught to Norwich on the national rail network. The buffer can be removed to allow occasional through trains, e.g. special steam services from Norwich.

Small shooting job.
For professional models, "Please, pose as like you thank you"
Well, I do a strobe test. DO NOT STEP CABRE please me.
Someone, please play some music. OK?
Well, make-up, cheek brightly. OK? Here we go!
AND
Let's go for a drink or something OK?
When shooting a cat
I set digital commander on hot shoe.
I pair with strobe. Connect the extension rod to the hot shoe.
Keep following the cat's eyes with Thumb AF. Bounce my left hand on the opposite side of the lens as much as possible.
Shoot until the buffer becomes full at the moment of focusing.
My right palm, hand and arms were dead with a battery pack and a geeky lens like 1Kg.
And the cat is gone.
What goin' on?

This started out as a low angle shot of openings in a closet door vent. I experimented with color and texture and ended up with this abstract.

What looks to be buffer fitted 43013 is seen heading a Virgin Cross Country service past Newport ADJ Yard as the evening shadows lengthen. Yard shunters 09203 and 09105 can just be seen taking a break from their duties. The yard looked full on this day, taken circa 1998.

At 2:45 p.m., October 16, six motors running elephant style, lift 90 empty oil cars and two buffer hoppers up the steep grade approaching Tunnel 1, just railroad east of Plain siding. The train is en route to Wellington, Utah, for loading. This secret place is 22.5 rail miles west of Denver. Photo by Joe McMillan.
