I thought quite a bit today about this question. What is the difference between a photograph, a good photograph and a great photograph. Obviously there are things that can improve any photograph, rule of thirds, proper exposure, leading lines, focus on the subject, elimination of distracting objects, etc. But I feel that it is so much more than that. All those things turn a photograph into a good photograph, i think a great photograph can capture the personality or style of the photographer as well. I thought about this this weekend when 4 great photographers set up their gear all in a line with virtually the same equipment, shooting the sunset in the smokies. I also knew that each one of those people would put their own stamp on that image. I always like seeing someone who can shoot something that has been done a million times but can do it differently than all those others. I also like seeing a thumbnail, photo, or group of photos and can tell that is a friends because i can tell by the style, by the processing, by the mood. So to me a good photograph has used some elements of skill to advance it from just a photograph to a good photograph but a great photograph captures the essence of the scene in front of the camera and the essence of the photographer behind it. Your thoughts?
A picture with a difference this morning. This shows part of the huge queue snaking its way waiting to get into Donny Works for the hastily convened and little advertised event to give Deltic fans one last chance to see their heroes before the cutting torch took hold. I was as surprised as everyone else by the huge numbers that turned up on this admittedly perfect winter day. It was very frustrating waiting in line as you could hear Napiers repeatedly being run up and a few have already climbed walls to get a sneaky glimpse.
Does anyone recognise themselves 30 years later?
I only had one roll of 24 exposure Kodachrome 25 so it was quite adventurous to expend a valuable exposure on a picture of the queue, but after three decades it is probably the one shot that tells the story best and is almost certainly the rarest too!

As I commented earlier, the "new" black freestyles are different than the five year old (purchased new) white ones. The biggest differences to me are the obvious ones, the black ones size 4 are smaller by a half inch than the white ones, size 3. The Reebok logo on the sides are different. One is in color, the other a shadow print. One has the British flag in color.
By now, I had removed the heel counter in the new black ones so I could wear them for some hours without discomfort.
As I mentioned with the previous photos, the black ones have much more pliable leather, they stretched to fit my feet better once the heel counters (very hard plastic) were removed.
Another personality difference we've noticed in our younger one is that she isn't afraid of trying hard things, like she's out to prove something :) She has done these puzzles a handful of times, making easy items with a subset of the blocks. This morning she decided to do the hardest one using all the blocks and completed totally on her own (with a little frustration along the way!) So interesting to see how she approaches problem solving so differently from her big sister.

What a difference a night makes!
Yesterday I posted a photo of a long exposure night shot attempt. It was the best photo I got that night but I still wasn’t happy with the results. The main things I was struggling with was nothing was sharp, the starbursts around lights were overwhelming and no matter what I did in post, nothing felt vibrant and alive. Just flat and boring. So I spent some time learning more about this and realized I was making multiple mistakes.
Last night I made another effort at this with the new knowledge I had.
First attempt was a Utah Railway Coal train pulling out of Provo. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to set up the shot and it ended in failure.
I knew Amtrak #5 would be here in an hour so I drove around looking for something that might work and somewhere I wouldn’t have anyone bothering me. Nothing felt right, so I went to the same place I went to the night before. With plenty of time to spare, I set things up and played around with a few different exposures. 15 seconds felt right. A half hour later I heard a horn in the distance. A few moments later a headlight appears and then it sits there… Typically Amtrak blasts through here doing 50 or 60 mph but it was crawling! It then started to pick up some speed as it approached me. As it gets within 60 feet I press the magic button on the camera and it beeps through the 2 second delay and it then does its thing while I stand back and watch the train go by. As the power passes under the signal bridge the green drops to red and the train is gone.
15 seconds of exposure was too short to get the whole train going by at the reduced speed. At first I was disappointed, but then the image popped up on the screen. “Oh shit” I said aloud to myself. I packed up my gear, drove 4 minutes to work and downloaded the photos off the memory card onto my computer. I had something that I was actually happy with! I didn’t think I would get there yet. Everything was sharp (except the train of course). There was enough information that I could play with the levels and the lights popped but didn’t have huge starbursts.
Now I need to continue playing with this to find out if I just got lucky or if I actually learned something.

STROKE: THE SILENT KILLER, A PREVENTABLE AND TREATABLE CATASTROPHE
*Stroke is a global epidemic that threatens lives, health, and quality of life.
It is a major cause of long term disabilities and premature death
Stroke occurs when a vessel that brings blood to the brain bursts or is clogged by a blood clot. With today’s unhealthy lifestyles and numerous health issues such as high blood pressure, physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol overuse, stroke has grown to be an epidemic all over the world. Stroke accounts for 5.7 million deaths each year worldwide and ranks second to ischemic heart disease as a cause of death. It is also a leading cause of serious disability, sparing no age, sex, ethnic origin, or country.
The theme of the World Stroke Day 2009: “Stroke‐What can I do?”
This question implies that everyone can do something about stroke, whether it is on an individual or group level.
If you notice one or more of these signs, don't wait. Stroke is a medical emergency.
Call your emergency medical services and get to a hospital right away!
Learn the warning signs of stroke.
Take action in an emergency.
The FAST test
You can use the FAST test to remember the signs of stroke it involves asking three simple questions:
•Face – Can the person smile, has their mouth drooped?
•Arms – Can the person raise both arms?
•Speech – Can the person speak clearly and understand what you say?
•Time – Act FAST!
Spot the difference! Nineteenth century volumes on the left; 21st century marbling on the right.
Paper marbling is a method of design which produces patterns similar to smooth marble or other stone. The patterns are created by floating colour on water which is then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric.
People have used marbled materials as a form of decoration for hundreds of years. Many volumes dating back to the early 1800s at Sheffield Archives have got marbled covers - the examples pictured are estate account books dating back to 1805.
On the right is an example of paper marbling created by one of the children attending a recent family event run by the Conservation Unit at Sheffield Archives.
What a difference a day makes! After saturday's 'white out' it was almost a spring like sunday... A bonus drag ran in the form of 1E09 0930 Edinburgh to Kings Cross captured here at Bentley with 67019 leading the way. 27th January 2013
What a difference 27 years makes !
The top picture was taken on the 4th November 1985 and depicts a hybrid class 104/107 3-car DMU set forming 1T82 09.35 Ardrossan Harbour (Winton Pier) to Glasgow Central. This working being a boat train service with connections from the Isle of Arran via the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry from Brodick.
The bottom picture was taken on 23rd October 2012 and its just about impossible to make out any remnant of the former station. The block wall to the right of the covered way to the ferry terminal possibly marks the edge of the second platform track which would be to the left of the DMU in the upper picture.
Ardrossan Harbour Winton Pier station closed on 03.08.1986 with the line being cut back to a new single platform terminus called Ardrossan Harbour. The new station is sited at 31m 35ch with the physical line end at 31m 38ch. The old Winton Pier station was listed as 31m 48ch. The closure coincided with the Ayrshire coast lines electrification. I stand to be corrected but I believe the closure was brought about by the fact the extensive boat yard / marina would have been cut off if overhead wires had extended into the Winton Pier station as its buffer stops were litterly on the end of the quay. Instead the new station allows road traffic (trucks carrying yachts) to access the boat yard via the road seen in the foreground of the 2012 picture which is just beyond the buffer stops of the new station.
On the left of the photo is Preserved Crosville Cymru, EOG207, C207GTU, a 'DP' seated ECW bodied Leyland Olympian ONLXB/1R. New to Crosville(EOG207), in 10/1985, it was one of the many of the type supplied to then National Bus Company operators for their 'Express' services with this one being restored in Crosville Cymru 'Coastliner' livery for services along the North Wales coast. Alongside is John Fishwick & Sons, Leyland, 13, P414KSX, an Alexander Royale bodied Volvo Olympian YN2RV18Z4. This was new to Lothian Regional Transport, the Edinburgh based arms-length operated municipal operator, in 09/1996 and numbered 414. The Volvo Olympian was the successor to the Leyland Olympian. John Fishwick & Sons, the once well respected Leyland based operator ceased trading on 24/10/2015 after entering administration. These buses are seen here on display at Shore Road, Birkenhead, on 02/10/2011, when attending the Wirral Bus & Tram Show. © Peter Steel 2011.
Mill Springs Falls

Mill Springs, KY
This was my second time photographing this waterfall, but my first DHR shot of it. I've only attempted a handful of HDR shots and I haven't been to flattered with the results. I liked this one, though.The water flow was much lighter this time, a lot of the vegetation was gone for the winter, and it wasn't as muddy which meant I could get in for a closer look.
This time around i went with Lancome liquid foundation instead of my usual MAC stuff. Maybe it's just mee, but i think i'm starting to notice a qualitative difference.
(Note to Self: Put some foundation on your upper chest next time, idiot!!)

It always amazes me how different we can look with just a change of makeup and hair.

Dodge Challenger (3rd Gen - pre-facelift) SRT8 (2008-15) Engine 370 cu in (6100cc) Hemi OHV V8
Registration Number P 4 VLN (Personalised number, first allocated for London NW)

Designed by Jeff Gale and Brian Nielander the fourth generation Challenger is a two door, notchback muscle car seating five. Built on the Chrysler LC platform it has a shorter wheelbase than LX platform stablemates, including the Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum and Chrysler 300. The LX was developed in America from the previous Chrysler LH platform, which had been designed to allow it to be easily upgraded to rear and all-wheel drive
All (7119) 2008 models were SRT8s and equipped with the 6.1 L (370 cu in) Hemi and a 5-speed AutoStick automatic transmission. The entire 2008 U.S. run of 6,400 cars were pre-sold (many of which for above MSRP), and production commenced on May 8, 2008
Production of the limited edition 2008 SRT8s ended in July 2008, for the 2009 model year, while still equipped with the 6.1 L (370 cu in) Hemi V8, is virtually identical to its 2008 counterpart, with the main difference being the choice of either a 5-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission. Standard features include Brembo brakes, a sport suspension, bi-xenon headlamps, heated leather sport seats, keyless go, Sirius satellite radio, and 20-inch (510 mm) forged aluminum wheels in addition to most amenities offered on the R/T and SE models
In 2011 the RT8's chin spoiler was enlarged to create more downforce and a new 6.4 litre Hemi V8 officially rated at 470 hp with engineers claiming that they sacrificed peak horsepower ratings for low-end torque Two transmissions were offered: a 5-Speed Shiftable Automatic and a 6-speed manual. Top speeds of the 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T and 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 were both rated at 170 miles per hour
The high performance SRT8 package was retired from the Challenger range for the 2015 model year..
