coming to your neighborhood soon - over 400 of these have sprung up in the local area recently - as there are 370,000 plus licensed users in Oklahoma - it became legal in July, 2018
For a time in 1979, several Delaware & Hudson GP39-2’s showed up in Conrail service. A few Conrail B23-7’s were spotted on D&H trains, so I believe that these were loans for evaluation, especially since Conrail was beginning to replace its first- and early second-generation fleet. Here two D&H GP39-2’s join a Conrail U30B on the Saucon Drill in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, while a PB&NE switcher/slug set work in the background. The EMD’s are no strangers to these tracks, having begin their lives as Reading units.
After seeing that photo on the breeder's site , I made an appointment to visit when the pupies would be 7 weeks old. I did not even evaluate all of them ... that little pup ranked above the rest of them. He proved to be a great working dog, highly intelligent, balanced and motivated.
Having just returned from Sicily we are now evaluating our trip and our thoughts on the incredibly interesting and at times intense island. As a first upload I thought I would start off with a wide view off the lovely mountain village, Novara di Sicilia.
The guide books are full of towns and cities that consist of ancient architectural gems and many of which have been awarded UNESCO heritage status. Some are stunning in both appearance and historical content, whilst in my mind some are very much overated.
I
Novara di Sicilia, is a mountain top village that we stumbled upon by accident. It didn't appear in our guide book and yet was full of wonderful views, architecture and character. There were a few tourists but not the hoards that descend upon better known locations, there was life in the village unlike a few we had passed through, a good number of old cars were seen plying their way through the narrow streets and the local bar served two coffees and a cake just Euro3.00. Towering above the village was the ever so distinctive mountain, Rocco Salvatesta. For all those reasons I would go as far as saying this was our favourite location of the trip.

Maybe 2020 is not lost but a time to reflect, re-evaluate and rediscover. Our future existence will be secured by uniting all its people. With the strength of global unity we can focus on making the world a better place for our children, grandchildren and all future generations. Just imagine!
Retina IIC test, serial 50074
Retina-Heligon f2.8 lens
Delta 400 at 200 ASA, processed in FA-1027
I've used a lot of cameras from the fifties and sixties, and there are plenty of mediocre cameras to be found - shoddily engineered and with really poor lenses. But I can assure you, the Kodak Retina IIC from 1958 is not one of those. The sharpness of the Rodenstock Retina-Heligon lens is exceptional, and it has great contrast and flare resistant. The camera itself is a precision instrument, made to last for decades. I expect this IIC has another 60 years of service in it, at minimum. Such a pleasure to use, too.
After evaluating an old collection, for sale in Beeville, John and I spent the rest of the afternoon on the Live Oak County roads, since they have had some rain lately. This specimen turned out to be a great surprise, as it was so dirty when I first spotted it, I believed it was simply a botryoidal chunk of George West type petrified wood - now for a better look!
This bluejay was trying to figure out how to leap down onto the side of the woodpeckers dining room...
This Cades Cove Crow was perched on a favorite fence post (I'm not sure I've seen crows perch on anything else in the cove.) and sees to be looking for drier lands off in the distance. I, on the other hand, was quite happy with the rain. I've been starting to really enjoy photographing wildlife on rainy days. So much added texture and behavior from the wildlife. Just need good bags for the lenses. :)

I have SO many I love from her session.
There is something I love about these 2 together.
135L
NOTE: For those that have asked, all my sessions at this location start anywhere from 5-6pm. The sun was very low in the sky as these were the very end of the session, prob. almost 7:30ish. This is a totally open field, no open shade, so if the sun is any higher the lighting is very harsh. With the exception of darkening the shadows via curves, and a very slight color pop, the left one is almost SOOC. The one on the right I processed a bit more. :)
P.S. I had another session there a couple days ago and they have mowed this field down to NOTHING! I think I died a little bit. :(
NOTE#2: More answers....I'm not sure why, but on most of my lenses I seem to like the 3.2 spot. I hardly ever shoot totally wide open just because I do like to see some of the texture the background provides. When the sun is low in the sky, I mainly expose for their skintone and try to make sure there is something behind them (besides sky) so it isn't totally blown out. I would say I might underexpose a tad because I always intend to color pop them a bit and don't want to lose detail. Also, I DON'T use spot metering...it's the one that looks like an "eyeball", parenthesis with the dot, I think it's called evaluative. Spot metering and I have never gotten along. :)

Last weekend I acquired a very inexpensive Kodak Retina 141, from 1939 (very close to end of production). It needed extensive restoration work done, which took me about 2 days to complete. This photo is from the test roll to evaluate its performance. I am continually impressed by the quality of these 80 year old Schneider lenses! (The Anastigmat EKTAR is exactly the same lens as Schneider's Xenar, its just that Kodak made them label the lenses as a Kodak product)

Track evaluation RDC 1501 has just eased off CN-owned track and come to a stop on BNSF rails at Missabe Junction before heading back up Proctor Hill and north on the Missabe Sub.
After having tested the Three Hills Sub the previous day, CN's Track Evaluation train deadheads back north to Mirror. CN has assigned a veteran GP38-2W, still wearing a faded Zebra stripes, as the test train's power.
