Last Saturday somewhere in Alberta. With temperatures dropping to -24oC outside the city it was a freezing sunrise, but of so beautiful!!
Bornite Coating Chalcocite - A large specimen from the Flambeau Mine in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, this bornite on chalcocite specimen is very unusual and so iridescent. Shot through the glass display case at the Tucson Rock and Gem Show 2016, Showcase at TCC.
As I am not able to get out and about so much at the moment; I have been looking through some of my old photo files.
Came across this one taken in 2013. This old engineering works in Pakefield, Lowestoft, is now a terrace of houses.

One thing I've been wanting to catch for years finally presented itself to me on Saturday. INLX 802, an old GE 65-Ton Centercab switcher has been on the property of ArcelorMittal's West Coating plant for about 2 1/2 years now, and has been on my list as West Coating is one of the only publicly viewable steel plants in the entire region. So, simply driving by to get dinner after a somewhat lackluster day yielded a pickup truck driving into the plant with a terribly generic sticker that read "Switching Crew". With high hopes, I rushed back to the scene 20 minutes later to find that they had already began moving coil cars around the plant's yard. Thankfully, there was quite a bit of switching to do so plenty of opportunities to get some shots of something moving that no one has ever posted photos of running before.
"So that puts us here." INLX 802 and a handful of coils proceed to block Riley Road as the crewmember on the ground throws switches for their next shove, as the sun begins to set.
As an aside for anyone interested, I was expecting these guys to yell at me and call plant security immediately once they laid eyes on me. On the contrary, while the locomotive was sitting in the crossing waiting for their next move, the employee running the train expressed great interest in my love of railroad photography, and even happened to be a train enthusiast himself. Driving away, I gave a final wave to the crew inside the plant, expecting no one to see me. A bunch of blasts of the horn indicated that I was indeed wrong in my assumption again.
Never judge a book by it's cover folks.

A composite image made up from three photos taken from the same spot, each using a different film camera. The individual photos have been collaged in photoshop.
In this case the cameras were: Lomo LC-W, Lomo LC-A+ and Aries 35.
You can see how heavily laden the branches were with snow. It was a tough morning to rise and shine...

I took a walk early this a.m.
No dog....not cats....just me, the camera and a light snow still falling.
We lucked out and only got an inch or so...enough to make it pretty without being a major pain in the behind.
It was cold, but there was no wind. The quiet was intoxicating.
As soon as I set out across the backyard I saw dozens of fox tracks in the snow.
It wasn't long before I ran into this one cutting across the field.
A technology that has shielded some of NASA’s highest-profile space observatories from potentially harmful molecular contamination is now being evaluated as a possible solution for protecting the Smithsonian Institution’s cultural artifacts and natural-science specimens.
Under a Space Act Agreement with the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History, Nithin Abraham, a thermal-coatings engineer at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and museum conservators are testing the effectiveness of the patent-pending Molecular Adsorber Coating, or MAC. Goddard engineers originally created the technology to entrap outgassed molecular contaminants so that they couldn’t adhere to sensitive instruments and components.
Above, NASA Thermal Coatings Engineer Nithin Abraham removes samples treated with a patent-pending adsorber from specimen-storage cabinets at the Smithsonian’s Museum Support Center in Suitland, Maryland, a sprawling storage facility that holds more than 54 million collection items.

Zeiss's T* Coatings are quite known to be one of the best at their time ! I quite like the brown colors reflected at some angles. I can't wait to get my C/Y to E adapter to try this Planar 50mm f/1.7 !
