Corrected Perspective

One of the main reasons for making an early morning trip over to Fishercap Lake from the Many Glacier Hotel was the mirror-like reflection that is often found on mornings with little to no wind. As the wind was still howling the night night before, we were very relieved to find that the wind had disappeared by the time we met at 5:30 AM and after shooting Swiftcurrent, we made a beeline to Fishercap and arrived just as the light was beginning to warm up. It was an incredible morning as there were stunning views in every direction and I had to continuously divide my attention between the moose, (I still want to say "Mooses" or "Meese" but apparently neither is correct for some reason) and the deer who kept wandering into my frame. Fishercap is often overlooked as the surrounding peaks and lakes are stunning, but if you find yourself in the Many Glacier Hotel at some point in the future, you might want to make a quick trip over there during the early morning hours for the wildlife and some stunning early morning views.
I think I've finally found out which Grevillea this one is. If anyone knows if it's correct, please do say so.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

I don't know it I identified this skipper correctly! If not, please correct me! I would really appreciate it!
Y-NTW1501 departs the Bluff with the correct leader. This job seems to be coming back west with a train in tow more often, which is nice to see.
A vibrant GP40-2LW leads U745 around the bend at West Eagle Mills on a cloudy day. This train is one of three that coordinate to move taconite from Tilden Mine to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
THE BLACK BACKGROUND IS THE RESULT OF A CORRECT EXPOSURE ON THE ROSE

THE ROSE IS PALCED ON A REAL VERY LARGE MIRROR
PLEASE, SEE ON BLACK.....IT IS REALLY MAGIC!!!!!!

CP 6069 leads 3 other standard cab EMDs on a freshly loaded Herzog train from Swansea as they drop rocks on the Windermere Subdivision heading north out of Fort Steele.
The cards fell correctly into place this particular Saturday afternoon. New power from Toronto had arrived in Kitchener the night before, and the chances of an all GP9 consist were high. The crew selected these 3 units, put them together, and ran to Stratford with 3 hoppers in tow. I rendezvoused with the train and friends at Stratford, and gave chase after they finished their work there. A trio of GP9s was already fantastic, but here just north of Thorndale the climax of the chase occurred when the skies opened up displaying excellent storm light. Just a mere 100 feet behind us was a pop up downpour that was so close we could feel the mist from it on our backs, but we escaped getting wet luckily. Good power, great light when it counted, and good company from great friends made this one of the best chases so far over my 10 years of rail photography.

In the last light of day, a Delaware & Hudson RS36 leads a westbound (D&H north) train through Packerton, Pennsylvania.
An uncooperative spell of windy wet weather has seen frustration growing,
So I looked back to the other week and decided to try removing some of the more eccentric colour casts thrown up by the film.
Essentially a lot of desaturation curves.
Opinions on which version looks most "natural" are most welcome.
I have been wanting to photograph a sunrise at Charlestown for some time, this involves an early start and going over to the south coast of Cornwall.
I needed a 04:45 alarm call yet my old steam driven alarm clock is a bit unreliable shall we say, so what could be my back up plan, of course my trusty companions Hoof & Horace who between them could wake me at the appropriate time.
So plan in place, sure to form there was a heck of a rumpus outside in our driveway at said time. When I peered through the curtains there in the drive with mischief written all over their faces were my intrepid menagerie.
I was most impressed they were able to rise so early, I asked the dynamic duo how they were able to achieve this, easy they said we have just got home from a bender at one of our mates parties, so we are just off to bed. I guessed correctly that they would not be accompanying me to Charlestown.
Hope you all have a lovely week, get the snow tyres at the ready☃️
Thank you for viewing my images, the comments and banter are much appreciated. 🐎💨🐷💨🍺🍺🍺😎🍷🍷🍷😂😂😂.
I pulled out this old shot of the Mill Pond from several years ago. The color was a mess and there were a couple of other things that needed to be corrected. Improvements to my skills and to Photoshop allowed me to produce a better image. I one of my own textures, but applied it twice.

Another experiment of mine. Correctly exposed light produces interesting results.
They say the customer is always correct, so I can only accept your verdict. And the verdict is that the only photo I have posted that made it to Explore this winter, was one taken by Mette. So here is one more set of photos she took last summer.
These are from Flatbreen here in Fjaerland. A very populare mountain hike, with a cabin at 1000 meter to sleep in if you want to go further north on the glacier. You have stunning views down to the valley below, with the fjord. It is close to the glacier, yet you don't have to walk on it if you lack skills or equipment.
Storm was 11 when he was here, and a bit stiff after resting. But he made it up, and down again. Mette is the fit one of us, so she did this hike with a friend. (I might have used work as an excuse to not go.)
Something very different. I am finally free from my PMS! Male PMS is, as you all know, parked motorcycle syndrome. It is a terrible syndrome mostly affecting older men in the northern countries. It can not be healed, and is worst when the sun start to warm, the roads are bare and the bike is still in storage. But last Wednesday I finally brought it out again, and life is now so much better!
There is a lot of photos and videos in the first comment.

ST District 1 Freight Main Line
On a snowy overcast morning in the GTA, we find CP 420 headed south at mile 7.9 of the MacTier Sub with a nice clean AC44 on point and an SD70ACu trailing. Interestingly they're taking the east track here, which may have been due to a meet with a northbound but I can't exactly remember. For foamers it's the preferred track for them to take through these signals as a big pole and LED billboard clutter up the shot for the west track.
Soo Line SD60 6036, now known as Canadian Pacific 6236, was leading a much lesser locomotive on an eastbound CP freight at A20 back on Valentine's Day 2010.
Rolling along the C&M and passing underneath the Union Pacific's former CNW New Line, the neat SOO motor was the correct and proper leader.
I am uploading this before correcting and painting over the sky and city skyline ** - in case I ruin it, which I so often do when trying to correct things. Overall, I am pleasantly surprised how this turned out. With me, it's always a bit of a gamble.
This may take me a while and I shall practice stormy skies on another sheet of paper first. It is a bit of a problem, as the sky was done first and a second layer may not blend with a smooth transition into the landscape. Conundrum ...
** Edit:
Decided against painting over the sky and leave as is.
As for BOCKINGFORD paper ***: (Edit below...)
I had mixed experience with this mould-made paper. It feels quite easy to paint on and easy to lift colours, but when taking the masking tape off, even really carefully, it rips the paper. On another occasion, the paper had faults, like 'waxy' patches that could not be painted over. This was through every sheet of the 12 pages pad. I may have been just unlucky and got a 'bad batch'. So, I keep just keep using what I have. I do not consider mysalf an artist, so it doesn't really matter if it doesn't turn out right. When things 'go bad' I just paint again on the back of the paper. Saves paper. Though, the surface on the back is a bit different.
Edit ***:
I think I am getting used to BOCKINGFORD paper. The pads I have been using do not have any faults and I am finding it actually good to paint on. Lifting off paint (which I need to do quite often...) works without damaging the paper and works well too.
Rather than something weird and wonderful this week I thought I would give you something warm and arty (and wonderful too, of course ;) ).
These are two painterly versions both done with Topaz Studio based on the same edit of a picture I took in the local woods last autumn.
I think pictures of trees and woods lend themselves to a painterly interpretation, especially if there is a bit of colour and some sort of composition focus.
These two are quite similar but I’d still be interested to hear if you have time to say which you prefer. I tend to choose the one I am currently looking at! The commentary is the same for both and I’ll post a link to the in-camera version (or at least a plain conversion of the raw file) in the first comments.
The two versions take different approaches using very different filters in Topaz. After correcting some perspective and developing in Capture One for a vibrant colour mix (always a good starting point if you are copy and artistic approach), Topaz Studio did the biz and then a slight dark vignette was added in Affinity, and that was it.
The first variant uses the Impression filter starting from the Watercolor II preset, and building from there. I love the dreamy look this gives - walking in the autumn woods is quite a dreamy experience!
The second uses the Abstraction filter.
I have a great fondness for this particular filter because we go back a long way. Before Topaz took it over it was called Buzz Simplify (and originally in Topaz it was called Topaz Simplify). It was written by a programmer in England as a filter for photoshop.
I first came across it in an exhibition by a photographer-artist and it was the first time I had really seen a filter produce painterly results like it. I’ve been using it for over twenty years.
Interestingly the artist then used it primarily for scenes of woods and trees. It produces great results with pictures of buildings, landscapes and street scenes too. Or you can use it as a starting place for further painterly attention.
Ok. Enough of me babbling. I’ll use the watercolour version for Sliders Sunday this week.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
If I do recall it correctly, the plan X 186 was used for a Stichting KLOK excursion. Soon after this picture, it would go to Goes (NL).
After a lengthy trip from Montreal, 321 finally makes it up to track speed, as they pass Trenton, as they’re about to split the intermediate signals.
