Adox CMS 20
View allAll Photos Tagged cms
A remarkable babbler with a loud call that is easy to hear and remember. Their habitat is thick / dense bushes and canopy in the forests. They are incredibly tough birds to shoot since they barely come out this open. We could track it in the shadows and see it, but very tough to follow it in camera amongst the bushes and all the twigs. After 4th / 5th trip, I managed to get this shot - this was in the bush too in a valley that had sevreal vipers and we were nervous shooting there.
The bird is found in parts of the Eastern India and much of South East Asia and have around 13 subspecies. They are a small sized bird around 11-14 cms - resident in the country and nest in the summers. The birds are quite shy and hunt insects amongst the bushes or trees - usually the ones under shade where they stick to the deep end or to the top canopy.
Thanks in advance for your views, feedback and faves - much appreciated.
I always thought the combination of CGSY and CMs in CFCLA corporate livery was a neat pairing, and this would be the last time I ever saw it. CM3304 and CM3316 work empty grain 9365 to Temora.
On the return trip for this train, 39 out of 41 wagons derailed whilst descending the Illawarra Escarpment, and destroyed them along with alot of rail infrastructure. The line was closed for 1 week, with full operations returning just a few days ago.

I've had two rolls of Adox CMS 20 II sitting on the darkroom shelf, staring at me, for two plus years now, waiting for me to act. I have hesitated, since access to the Adotech developer Adox has made specifically for this film is often difficult, and it does need a special, low contrast developer to get "continuous tone" out of it.
But yesterday I decided to do some research and I found a couple recipes for copy films in Anchell & Troop's Darkroom Cookbook and gave two a try: TDLC-103* and a modified PMK dilution. This image is from one of the TDLC-103 negatives.
The PMK negs were usable as well, but created less highlight separation than the TDLC-103, so in the future, I will just use the TDLC-103.
Photographed with my Kodak Signet 35, which has a f3.5 Ektar lens (A Tessar formula), and the aperture used here was likely f11 or f16. Talk about sharp - click on the image to see the detail. Remember - this is a 35mm negative! (from a camera made in 1954: flic.kr/p/2mXJWBf)
* basically, TDLC-103 is a very dilute D-23 with Sodium bicarbonate.

Se trata de un Myxomycete
Orden: Liceales
En la fotografía podemos observar un etalio maduro, blanco y plateado, de Enteridium lycoperdon o Reticularia lycoperdon de aprox. 5-6 cms de diámetro de este Myxomyceto, sobre tronco de alcornoque. Le hemos dado un corte a uno de ellos, para observar la masa esporal en formación. Se trata de una fase joven. Reticularia lycoperdon (= Enteridium lycoperdon) es un mixomiceto, un enigmático hongo ameboideo que forma una bolsa sobre troncos, particularmente sobre troncos cortados o caídos de pino, aunque también sobre troncos vivos de pino o de otros árboles

Friday, 25 December 2020: Christmas Day. The temperature is -4C (windchill -6C) just after noon. Sunrise is at 8:39 am, and sunset is at 4:34 pm. A few days ago, our world turned to white - again, but this time with more snow than I have seen for a long time. Apparently, 20-40 cms of snow fell in Calgary. Definitely a White Christmas for us here. Stay safe, everyone!
Ten days ago, on 15 December 2020, it was the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count for the High River area, south of Calgary. The Nanton Count used to be my favourite, but it no longer exists. Now, the High River Count is my favourite one, so I was really disappointed to not take part in it this time.
This year, I will not be taking part in any of the Counts, partly because I feel that with participant numbers being limited, the people with the very best birding skills should be the ones who go. I would feel very selfish if I took up a place. Also, being unable to carpool, there is no way I would be able to drive in the dark, with lousy night vision, at the beginning and end of the day. These wonderful day outings will be missed SO much and, of course, I will miss out on all the precious photo opportunities that I would be able to happily use. Instead, though, I can always go for a few drives out of the city on my own, depending on the weather.
Which is exactly what I did ten days ago. My car was on the road by 9:30 am and I covered part of the Count route, plus various other roads. No visits to any of the farms, though. In fact, I ended up driving much further than I had intended.
The clouds in one direction were simply mesmerising and lasted for several hours. When I first arrived at my 'starting point', I thought there must be a fire somewhere in the distance, sending two billowing clouds upwards between the horizon and the 'ceiling' of the Chinook Arch. Very slowly, the two patches of cloud changed their shape and eventually turned into just ordinary little clouds that would never catch the eye. I have never seen anything like it before, with two pillars of Lenticular clouds that were stacked on top of each other. At the end of the show, the pillar on the right had thinned at the bottom and widened hugely at the top, forming what looked like an Anvil cloud. The bright light around each pillar was dazzling. Luckily, I found an old, very distant barn/shed to include in a photo, and a row of metal silos to include in other captures.
Some of my photos are not as sharp as I would have liked, partly because I zoomed in so much and also because they were taken from inside my vehicle in order to avoid getting in and out constantly. That was supposed to put less strain on my painful knee and my shoulder rotator cuff pain. Still happy to have some photo memories of such an almost magical experience.
Feeling relaxed and content as I started my drive home, I was delighted to see an unexpected bird in the distance, perched high up on a power pole. It was a beautiful Prairie Falcon, who just sat there while I took photos through the windshield.
In the end, I just gave in and climbed out of my car to take a few extra shots. I hadn't realized how windy it was until I got out and stood against my vehicle. The bird was still sitting there when I left. As far as other birds were concerned, all I saw were two Black-billed Magpies and three small flocks of tiny birds. Suspect the first two flocks were probably House Sparrows. Not sure what the third flock was.
An enjoyable day, out in big sky countryside, hardly a soul to be seen anywhere (other than friend, Jim, who was doing the same as I was doing after he had finished his Count area). Some familiar barns/sheds and a fascinating old homestead that I had first discovered on 25 January 2020, completed the day.
