A rare outing back in late 2020.
2021 hasn't offered much more.... hopefully soon.
I'm going to be very rusty when some level of freedom returns.
My first shot of 2014 up on the moors near to Rookhope in County Durham / Northumberland. Really a bit too cold for long exposures but braved it nonetheless! We had a good covering of snow today above about 300 m.

A set of long exposures from Helsinki on a busy Sunday: The western entrance of Railway Station completely desolated

My New Years resolution is to post less and talk more. If you are interested, please go to my blog and see some comments on the image was shot and how it was processed.

More Cornwall, I love these old Engine houses wihich pepper the landscape there. This is atop Bodmin Moor at Minories.
I must confess to some disappointment with Dungeness, maybe that’s why this image has sat around on my hard disk for months, unloved and ignored.
Having seen many great images of abandoned shacks and tumble down structures from this locale I was surprised to find only this solitary hut, or what was left of it. Chatting to a local fisherman he said most of the old huts had fallen down during a winter storm a couple of years ago. There were a handful of old neglected boats but I struggled with compositions, and the boats themselves weren’t exactly what I had hoped for.
Dungeness is an interesting location, apparently classified as Britain’s only desert, and there is also a huge nuclear power station and lighthouse nearby. Should be a photographer’s dream, and If you haven’t been there is worth a visit for its uniqueness in the UK, but while it could be because of my ineptitude, I wouldn’t hold out too many hopes of finding a great composition.
Anyway, I thought it was high time that I posted my solitary half decent shot from this location.

It's official ... both of my grandchildren, who have been with me since their birth, are gone from my home. My daughter Julie bought a condo and she and Andrew moved out today ... There are just no words for me right now.
Here's my second installment of what will probably be a three part series exploring our quarantined times.
Once again I had my son Will step in front of the camera, this time wearing his camo hoodie to go with his brand new camo mask.
Our brave new world: designer masks!
Using a simple one light set up I chose a large reflector that produces a concentrated beam of light to match the strength of the light in the background scene and taped an orange gel to the front of it to match the color.
At least I think I did. I'll let y'all be the judge. :)
Heading out from the Grand Canyon there are several parking areas where there is usually a tribal vendor or two and then there are some boulders or concreate blocks to stop idiots driving to the canyon edges. So after going pass the parking area I had to walk a couple hundred meters down to this gravel road to a local canyon edge. I guess they don't bodies from some fools out to earn their Darwin awards falling over the edge as I am sure the fire ants, ravens, crows and vultures will make quick work of their splattered remains.
One of our local egret neighbors searches the last remaining areas of a pond that still has water - it was generally a dry summer. However, I am still surprised of its ability to catch fish, even though looking through such murky water!
Fog, relic signals and end cab switchers on Halloween night. Can't think of a better combination.
IHB job 118 awaits a favorable signal to head back to Michigan Avenue Yard and end their day.
Another look back to 2001, when Union Pacific saw fit to assign Rio Grande power to former Rio Grande lines for a brief period of time. A visit to Soldier Summit and Helper, UT in March yielded many chances to photograph throwback scenes such as this one. Rio Grande tunnel motors 5360 and 5410 seem right at home leading a hot eastbound intermodal train through the desolation of eastern Utah near the ghost town of Woodside. The train is Union Pacific's ZRODV which operated from Salt Lake City to Denver. It typically crossed Soldier Summit before sunrise, making the fast run between Helper and Green River in good morning light.
