Air China 737 MAX B-1398 waits at the gate at Beijing Capital, ready for its next flight to Phuket. The airport's huge control tower looms in the background.
Aircraft: Air China (CA/CCA) Boeing 737 MAX 8 B-1398.
Location: Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK/ZBAA), China.
The air traffic control tower at a decommisioned army air base seems quaint compared to those at modern day airports. The trail head to the wetlands path begins near this building, so I see it quite often.
Hard work is performed in the control room in an amazing abandoned steelworks in Austria. The place has thousands of interesting things to photograph. Maybe the most dirty place I have visited so far, but i enjoyed every second of being there.

I'm very happy with the results of this set and found the sharpness amazing. I also liked the way that stand development controlled the highlights, as can be see fro the shot. It was a very bright morning, but dark under the bridge. However, with an orange filter, the clouds came out well.
No sharpening applied.
By the way, for those who wondered what this scene looks like in colour, here's a screen shot of the scene, as seen on the light meter application on iphone.
p.s. app is free and is great :-)
One thing that can damage your photography is burning your flame of inspiration at too high temperature. I experience this from time to time and usually it's the case of not letting go of my original vision. I might, for example, have a picture that is 'ok' but not quite there and I insist on editing on it too long in hope for salvation – only to find out after couple of days that I'm actually fed up with the picture and it's not serving my photographic pleasure at all anymore. Usually this results a drop of inspiration for couple of days as I get a feeling that I cannot get anything done. I used to suffer this kind of drops more often before I understood that it is actually the same flame of inspiration that can make my photography 'fly in the zone' and also 'crash it into to ground' – and what actually happens depends on how high temperature I let the flame burn. Controlling my expectations and learning to let go have definitely been educational experience to me and nowadays I feel that it's usually more productive to move on the next idea than try to edit things beyond what is reasonable.
I feel that similar kind of stuff can be projected to the camera setup your using. When you are getting great results the setup is also great and inspiring. But when things don't go as you've planned, the grass starts to look more green on the other side of the fence. It's very humane feeling, but as you already know, often a wrong projection. So the question is, does the high quality equipment such as Sony & Zeiss stuff change this cognitive behavior in some way. Based on my experience over the few months, I would say that while it has become a lot harder to blame my tools, I'm still experiencing same kind of highs and lows as I've always have – not a big surprise really since one cannot really buy mental things like inspiration and passion. But using high quality tools have definitely given me certain kind of mental reference points which makes it easier to orientate myself in my own cognitive sceneries. For example, I don't have to worry about the gear or daydream about it, which clears space for other kind of thoughts and targets in healthy way. 'Having it all here' helps me to concentrate on photography itself rather than the tools themselves, and I feel this raises a new kind inspiration in me. Of course one can be disappointed with any gear, even the Zeiss Otus lenses, if one has unrealistic expectations and projections, but so far I have to say that using this setup is more liberating than it is driving my inner expectations. It's all about the flame and controlling it.

This photo was taken in a railway museum in Strasshof in Lower Austria near Vienna. The image shows a control panel inside of a draisine, which was originally built for railway workers and is not in use today.
I hope you like the picture. Please give me some feedback to let me know what you think about the photo.
Previous set from Duga here: www.flickr.com/photos/timster1973/sets/72157643924793935/
Duga-3 (NATO reporting name Steel Yard) was a Soviet over-the-horizon radar system. It was developed for the Soviet ABM early-warning network. The system operated from 1976 to 1989. Its distinctive and mysterious shortwave radio signal came to be known in the west as the Russian Woodpecker.
Two stations of Duga-3 were installed: a western system around Chernobyl and an eastern system in Siberia.
The transmitter for the western Duga-3 was located a few kilometers southwest of Chernobyl (south of Minsk, northwest of Kiev). The receiver was located about 50 km northeast of Chernobyl (just west of Chernihiv, south of Gomel).
The Soviets had been working on early warning radar for their anti-ballistic missile systems through the 1960s, but most of these had been line-of-sight systems that were useful for raid analysis and interception only. None of these systems had the capability to provide early warning of a launch, which would give the defenses time to study the attack and plan a response. At the time the Soviet early-warning satellite network was not well developed, and there were questions about their ability to operate in a hostile environment including anti-satellite efforts. An over-the-horizon radar sited in the USSR would not have any of these problems, and work on such a system for this associated role started in the late 1960s. Duga-3 could detect submarines and missile launches in all of Europe and the Eastern coast of United States.
The first experimental system, Duga-1, was built outside Mykolaiv in Ukraine, successfully detecting rocket launches from Baikonur Cosmodrome at 2,500 kilometers. This was followed by the prototype Duga-2, built on the same site, which was able to track launches from the far east and submarines in the Pacific Ocean as the missiles flew towards Novaya Zemlya. Both of these radar systems were aimed east and were fairly low power, but with the concept proven work began on an operational system. The new Duga-3 systems used a transmitter and receiver separated by about 60 km.
