Project Seven:
After pulling out of the Milby Street roundhouse via the spur track at right, a duo of BNSF SD40-2s makes the run down the West Belt to New South Yard, 2 miles south of here. 1751's Santa Fe yellowbonnet paint was a nice touch through the searchlight curve at CP Rusk.
Houston, TX 8/20/2020
Since the re-opening of the Oshawa GM plant, the Canadian Pacific Oshawa Turn has resumed with a fairly mixed bag of power. After taking way too long to see it with my own eyes, I managed to take this photograph of it crossing the Cherrywood trestle with a couple of oldies in the lead. The trailing SD40-2 would've been ideal, but I'll take 4514 any day of the week.

The 14K stamp on the inside of a gold ring, taken for the Macro Mondays group theme, "Stamp." The frame represents a span of ⅝ - of-an-inch across.
Strobist/technical info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights and an LED cube light. The SB900s were placed at 9- and 3-o'clock, twenty-inches above and thirty-inches away from the ring. They were fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄128 (CL) and 1⁄64 (CR) power respectively through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes. An LED cube was placed overhead and behind the ring to illuminate the background.
The SB900s were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.
Lens: Reverse-mounted Nikon EL - Nikkor 50mm/f2.8 with a 36mm extension tube attached.

I'd heard of the Invicta, this is 1st I've seen in person. I never knew they were such cool cars for their time.

new rules per Roger (aka Appleman) , if I leave the house for a drive and intend on stopping somewhere to take a pic, it's a not so random photoshoot ...LOL
Three little bees flew round my head,
Bibi, Bobo, and Buzzette in red
Bibi said, “You smell so sweet!”
Bobo twirled and missed a beat.
Buzzette winked, “You’re quite the sight
Mind if we buzz with you all night?”
Now I’ve got bees, not just for show
A flying squad with style and glow!

The 125 Group's mainline-certified HST set, with power cars 43025 Exeter and 43159 Project Rio, approach Offord Cluny (between Huntingdon and St. Neots), working 1Z43 08.58 Doncaster - King's Cross. This was the outward leg of "The Miller and Grange" private charter, which ran from Doncaster via Sheffield, Derby, Nottingham and Grantham for a fast run up the East Coast Main Line. The train was operated by Rail Adventure. [Pole, 5.5/6 sections (~7.4m)]
This wasn't my original choice of location for this train, as it was due to pass here just after midday; not only would the sun be just more head-on than side-on, but it would also be high in the sky. So I had thought about going further north, before the train reached Grantham (this was the best sun angle anywhere once the train had reached the ECML), with somewhere between Nottingham and Grantham being my preference. I also considered Chevin (north of Derby), which would have meant a much earlier start from home. Unfortunately, several weather forecasts agreed that there would be cloud moving in from the north, and there was a good risk it would reach Chevin at about the same time as the train, while closer the Grantham patchy cloud was forecast to arrive first, while closer to home the cloud was forecast to stay away all day (and it did). So it was definitely safer to come here (although I'd originally planned to go on the north side of the A14 embankment, but since I last went past some travellers have set up beside the path leading down to the railway; while I could have bypassed them, it was a little misty today and the planned shot had the train further away than would have been ideal).
I came close to not getting this shot, though! I was sat in the car, writing a message on WhatsApp, with plenty of time before the train was due. When I'd finished writing the message, I checked where the train was - only to find it was now five minutes early, and had just passed Fletton (south of Peterborough). When I was in position with the camera connected to the pole but not raised, 1Z45 was two sections north of Huntingdon station (and it was now eight minutes early)... but I'm more used to photographing 75mph freights here than 125mph passenger trains, and misjudged how quickly it would reach me: having started to raise the pole, I decided to stand one step to my right, so lowered it, moved, and then began raising it again - and I was almost there when I saw the train! I was only planning to extend the last section half way (it was enough to clear the annoying lineside bush), and just managed to do that but didn't have time to lock it in place (I needed that hand to fire the shutter), concentrating more on aiming the camera in the right direction. This is cropped only very slightly (on the right), and didn't need straightening.
And then I got the dreaded message on my screen: "Unable to write image to memory card." However, it turned out that only one frame in the burst had not saved, and it was the one after this, with the very front of the train just past the OHL mast on the far side of the line (so the first of several images I would have rejected). It turns out the memory card in slot 1 had become full during the burst, and the memory card in slot 2 was slightly faulty. That memory card then caused a problem again with some shots later, and has now been withdrawn from service.
Today's photography seemed to have a "two" theme to it, at least with regard to the main targets when I was at a location. I photographed the 125 Group HST twice (once on the outward leg - here - and then again on its return), I went to Hurn Road for two intermodal trains coming off the Stamford line about quarter of an hour apart, a Network Rail Infrastructure Monitoring train transit move later in the afternoon had two locos on it (top and tail), and then I managed to get 60028 on a Wembley to Chaddesden working in two good locations (plus a third that wasn't as good as the first two).
