Current Day RAF (circa. 2009)

I am currently working on some new processing techniques as well as trying to let go of others all the while still learning new things every day that get trialed into work flows and discarded usually without the viewer noticing any course corrections. Despite what is ongoing in the world I am still trying to be a person that will try to make lemonade out of the shitty lemons thrown at us so will use this time to work on being a better me and also I am hoping to emerge from this with some new skills. I hope that everyone has a great New Year and we all have a better year in 2022!
I took this on Oct 23rd, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 15-30 f2.8 G2 Lens at 26mm, 0.5s, f8 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Topaz ,and DXO

With the lack of opportunity to move freely during Covid 19, I decided to take a series of shots of reflections in the local streams, ponds, ditches and a short stretch of the River Thames.
The current moon phase for yesterday is the Waxing Gibbous phase. On this day, the moon is 8.45 days old and 67.24% illuminated with a tilt of -32.741°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 373,176.77 km and the moon sign is Capricorn. In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it'll be the left side that is illuminated. The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Craters on the Moon are caused by asteroids and meteorites colliding with the lunar surface. The Moon's surface is covered with thousands of craters. Why does the Moon have so many craters compared to the Earth? Unlike the Earth, the Moon has no atmosphere to protect itself from impacting bodies. R_1754

IORY 1 year ago looked completely different than it does now, the yellow SD60s took over quite quickly and it's definitely reduced my reasons to photograph the railroad, but sometimes you just end up doing it anyways out of boredom.
It's late December and hordes of photographers are currently converging on Big Sur's Pfeiffer beach from all over the world. As one puzzled visitor asked me last week, "What's with all the photographers? What are they shooting?" The answer, of course, is the light pouring through the Keyhole Arch which only happens from mid December through January each year.
Just out of curiosity, I headed back this year on solstice to see if the light was any better than two years ago but while I was there, I discovered that Pfeiffer offers far more for photographers than just the light in the Keyhole Arch. For starters, this photo isn't from the Keyhole. It's from another small archway just South of the keyhole. Most photographers completely ignore this spot since the multitudes are flocking the the larger archway to the North. Secondly, the TIDE is a huge factor in what type of light will make it through the arch and for how long. Even though I was there on December 21, the light we had two years ago was far superior to what we had this year as the high water level actually cut off the light through the arch with at least 10 minutes of golden sunlight left. And lastly, the entire area is an incredible location to shoot. In spite of the many opportunities on this stretch of coastline, I watched almost 50 photographers leave en masse as soon as the sun dipped below the horizon, migrating back to their cars in droves while there was still plenty of good light and sunset color in the sky. Why? The sunlight in the archway had disappeared, and to them, the show was now over.

May. Rain has been pounding the Adirondacks for several days, and supersaturated the mountains. Seasonal streams have awakened, runoff and percolation feed the flow, all that water finding it’s lowest level and charging the whole Schroon ecosystem. Some miles below the dam at the lake, the river picks up speed on gradients through boulder fields, now inundated and drowned under the flow. They are immovable, their resistance invisible but for the standing waves throughout the volume. A light mist hovers above the raging current. Standing this close, I can feel the vibration of it’s power, urging my blood pressure higher to match the atmosphere I’m in. Here is spring as allegory to life, the relentless wildness of youth, bursting to race ahead towards that age when you don’t. What I wouldn’t give to truly feel that voltage again, and know the trajectory of where I was headed, instead of treading, spent, looking back at where I’ve come. I stay awhile on the edge of the surge, enjoying the power of the season.
With current temperatures in the seventies around our cabin, and in the eighties just to the north of us - Doc and I decided it was a good time to do a little traveling before borders open, and travel to our state resumes. So off we went . . .
After recent torrential rains, the Slana Slough looked so pretty in its summer greens, that I couldn't resist taking another shot of the area. The Mentasta Mountains are in the background.
I worked outside.
that was good.
my general mood.
not good.
NO MORE WAR
**my apologies for my lack of commenting. I have been so tired by nightfall that I can't think.
I will resume asap.
Yes, we are currently mere shadows of ourselves as we have become trapped in DIARRHEA HELL!
For two months Tidda has been suffering from increasingly frequent bouts of diarrhea. For the most part, she seems to be feeling okay and enjoys her walks, is hungry and plays. I on the other hand have been reduced to stumbling in a trance from one colon emergency to the next, randomly having to drop everything and take her outside or, worse, having to get up at 2 a.m. to take her out. And then again at 5.
Stool samples are negative for Giardia, negative for worms. She's been on probiotics and prebiotics for 10 days and has had several 24-hour fasts, now mostly getting rice and home-cooked chicken broth. She's losing weight and does seem to be a little less energetic.
The 12 day wait for the vet appointment has been the longest 12 days ever. It's no longer episodic but just continuous diarrhea. I wanted to bring her in as an emergency on Saturday but then she seemed slightly better and the vet "no longer had any same day visits available" that day. To be honest, I might be suffering more than she is. They said I'm doing everything right and she should get better.
Ever since the pandemic, the vet clinic has been chronically understaffed and overburdened and I've heard it's due in large part to the extreme local housing shortage as they can't hire people if there is no affordable place for them to live. Another issue is that I have constant problems buying her regular food as intermittently it's just not available due to the supply chain problems that are affecting pet foods. It's a real stressor for me. I'm going to see what the vet thinks about the possibility of making my own food for her.
Yet, Tidda is her sweet and good self. I'm trying to emulate her in that regard. I tell myself we will get through this and she will get better. Life just never seems to get any easier, though.
Wish us luck for the vet visit on Wednesday!

Last week I visited the wildlife park and although I missed the "Bird of Prey Show" I lucked out because the keeper talked to someone he know and I got the chance to ask for some portrait pictures.

M503 is back up to speed after hanging back at Woodland Jct, waiting on a motive power plagued L375 here at Milford. The local is finally in the clear and the C&EI towards Evansville is finally open for southbound movement again. Afternoons tend to be busy on this leg of the C&EI and this 1st of December is no different. I195, M500, L375, M503 and I129 all ran in daylight between Woodland Jct and Danville.
