After wrapping up at the little bridge over Sturdevant Creek we rolled slowly south through the marsh choosing to stop less than a mile down the line and pose here at about MP 51.1 on the former Delaware and Hudson Railway Adirondack Branch. Saratoga, Corinth and Hudson Railway's recently repatraited Alco RS3s 4103 and 4118 look mighty fine on the south end of this special chartered photo freight consisting of three former refrigerated boxcars, a single side dump gondola, and a bay window caboose. Rising beyond is 1500 Bald Mountain in the Kayaderosseras Range.
This fun group of friends spent the afternoon traversing the railroad south a bit over ten miles as far as MP 44 before reversing direction stopping for photos and runbys at multiple locations along the way. The pair of locomotives are right at home here having been purchased new by the Delaware and Hudson Railway in Sep. and Oct. 1952 respectively. They were acquired in mid 2024 from Genesee Valley Transportation where they had run most recently on the Delaware-Lackanna Railway out of Scranton.

Beautiful late afternoon light hits the Grand Teton range in Wymong. This is a place I would not mind going back to!

Dramatic Daybreak:
The shot was taken in July 2007 at Frinton-on-Sea, Essex, at just after half five in the morning (ouch!). I had arrived the night before and hadn’t had time to check the tide times so I was initially disappointed to see the tide right in when I got to the beach. I decided to set up my tripod on the sea front steps at water level to see what I could get. The sun was already up so I had missed the actual sunrise itself (making a mental note to set the alarm that little bit earlier!). I put a polarising filter on the lens to saturate the blue sky which was just visible through the nicely contrasting white clouds. I then added a 0.8 ND Grad filter to balance the contrast between the sky and sea. The sun was just catching the clouds at the back so I had to be careful not to blow out the highlights. I tried to time the waves so they were just on the way in to get some movement in the water, between getting a shoe full of water each time!
This image is about half way through a series taken over about an hour and a half. I finished the shoot at about half six, a little colder, a little damper but back in the warm in time for coffee and toast and satisfied that I had managed to get something worthwhile from what started off looking like I could have drawn a blank.
Processing: I opened the RAW file in Photoshop and processed once for the highlights of the sun on the clouds and once for the main image and then merged them together. I dodged & burned the clouds slightly to accentuate the differences in contrast and tightened the histogram. There is minimal sharpening to give a bit of definition.
Image details: Taken in RAW. Canon EOS 30D, 0.6 seconds shutter speed, Manual Setting, f/18, ISO 100, 17mm Focal length on a EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM Canon lens.
Thought I'd have a go at reprocessing this through PhaseOne four years after I'd taken it. I'm amazed at the difference of file between the EOS 30D then and my 5D Mk II now. The 5D Mk II is such a superior camera. Having said that I still like this image.
This is the skyline opposite to where the sun is setting.
Its a complex display of clouds & sky over the waters of the Iron Cove river in Sydney.
The sun is setting directly behind me.

This image of the Humber Bridge was taken at low tide. The River Humber is an esturary and tidal. The mud flats are a great attraction for birds and wildlife. I used the muddy inlet as a leading line into the image, and composed the Bridge left to right. The weather was constanly changing. A few minutes before the Sun had been shinning then suddenly dark clouds came over. I decided that the image had to be Black and White to add to the dramatic affect.
I later Post Processed the image in Lightroom.
Nature really unpredictable!
I feel blessed to witness the most gorgeous sunset I've ever encounter since the day i started my photography life! =)
this is one of them and you'll see a lot more on my coming post!
Have a great week my friends! =D
the light seeks the height of the face. a soul emerges from the dark. the eyes, bright blue, measure an unseen future. below, the world is shadow. above, only vigilance remains.
Sleek, powerful, and timeless — this Lockheed T-33 Silver Star of the French Air Force climbs dramatically through a turbulent, storm-filled sky. ✈️
Its polished metal fuselage reflects the changing light, contrasting beautifully with the dark, textured clouds behind it, enhancing the sense of speed and motion.
A legendary jet trainer, the T-33 played a key role in shaping generations of military pilots. Captured here in flight, this aircraft embodies both aviation heritage and pure aerodynamic elegance, proving that classic jets never lose their impact.
