Expect the unexpected; while waiting for the Dolphin show to start at Tin Can Bay this is what walked among the gathered crowd a 'Pied Cormorant' not an easy bird to photograph in the wild but this hand rared bird made it very easy to take pictures
Another one from Scalber Force, but this time the classic shot. Don’t get me wrong, I do like this one, but I’m always trying to see spectacular locations differently as to avoid the expected. If you haven’t been there, it’s a wonderful spot and when you are down in the canyon it feels like you are in a lost world. That is if there isn’t other photographers there looking for the same experience!
I expected the old yak40 at the begininng but for once, i shooted one of them with sun.
It seems that it was freshly repainted and you may notice that the cargo door was opening when he was taxiing to the spot.
But no soldier on board.. only a few members of the European Parliament, nice ride from Czech Republic 😂
You can expect to see many of these Wilson's Snipe in Sierra Valley. Some more cooperative than others. This one was quite vocal and cooperative.
Taken @ Kidwelly Quay..........Was not expecting this at all ! My camera was set up to take 'birds on sticks' (so not as sharp & focused as I would have liked......my excuse anyway) The first few shots were taken through branches & twigs as it flew behind trees with gulls in pursuit. When it finally come out in the open it was more distant & higher. A bit disappointed with the quality but on the whole quite pleased with my first ever sighting.

My day started off earlier then expected since I had to drop off Mindy at Bart for work. Afterwards, headed back home to clean my room, watch television and play Modern Warfare 3. After picking up Mindy from work (Bart that is) we decided to try McDonald's Mcbites. To be honest, their alright, reminds me of a smaller popcorn chicken. Today was a pretty relaxing day, possibly a more boring entry, hopefully tomorrow something better or greater is planned.

CPKC train 40B, the 'Final Spike' steam tour, is seen approaching Ludlow, MO on former Milwaukee Road trackage on the afternoon of May 11, 2024. The train is easing through a maintenance zone where quite a bit of track work is taking place.
When CP and KCS first announced their intent to merge in 2021, I would not have guessed the revival of CP's dormant steam program would be one of the first tangible results of the union, but here we are, as the 2816 and its entourage journey from Calgary to Mexico City to commemorate the first anniversary of the creation of CPKC.
Expect nothing
Appreciate everything
This one caught my eye cause it was like a big whale on the beach ,laying there just waiting to melt on the black sand .
WIP. Sorry about the lighting. This is the Superhero category, and probably the last I'll do unless someone wants me to do one of their categories.
Thank you so much for viewing my images!

You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light.

57603 'Tintagel Castle' gently propels the coaching stock for the overnight 2145 Penzance to London Paddington sleeper towards Penzance station on 10th June 2024.
I had expected this train to be hauled into Penzance station and was expecting to shoot the train being hauled.
Unfortunately the train locomotive now propels the 2km into Penzance station from Long Rock depot, so I had to settle for this 'going away' view.
Penzance station (and that evening's 2015 train to Plymouth) is visible on the far left. The glinting body of water is part of Mount's Bay, shimmering on this still June evening.
I have digitally turned the locomotive's tail lights off and turned on the headlights.

I did not expect to see a Pacific Wren on St. Paul Island. This Pribilof subspecies is about 30% larger than the regular (mainland) species and has a longer bill. However, they sing as loud as any other Pacific Wren :). The are permanent resident on the Island. However, when the winter is very harsh, their population decreases substantially. We saw several of them in very good conditions so I have to assume that the last winter on the Island was kind to them. We were lucky. I saw reports from previous years visitors indicating they only saw one of these bird during their visit.
A "Wow" Maternity Session with a Nashville Recording Artist at Her Home. Such a loving and precious person!
I wasn't quite expecting this kind of sunrise when I got up at 5:30am and took the drive down here, to St Michael's Mount, on Tuesday morning. It was windy but beautiful and with the terrible weather that has followed, I'm so glad I made the effort.
I was pretty excited to get out my 16-35mm and use it for the first time since loosing it in the Lake District. Thankfully it was found and is now safe and sound back where it belongs, on my camera!
Just love the way it's taking off on little tippy toes, all I've got are deer pics from Bradgate Park at the moment, I'm like a little lost sheep in the evenings without foxes to go and see.

Expecting Bulleid Pacific No 35018 I was somewhat disappointed when a couple of Duffs appeared on the SSE!
Newly painted Class 47 No 47815 (two tone green) and 47848 (West Coast maroon) head 1Z24, the 07.40 Carnforth - Scarborough 'Scarborough Spa Express'.
Seen here passing the caged semaphore at Weaverthorpe.
Btw Expect me to post somewhat frequently for a bit as I’m planning on revamping 75-80% of my figs, but also not so much as I’ll be waiting for orders to come in
Now the figures
Nightwing- tried out the 2016 head on the 2006 torso, gotta say I’m pretty satisfied with it
Bronze tiger- possibly my favorite of the bunch, can’t believe I hadn’t had a bt fig til now
Red arrow- simply swapped out his head but it’s a pretty big improvement from the Lone Ranger head
Azreal- changed him back to jpv really like how he turned out
Black lighting- went for a more comic look as I had his tv show look since the trailer dropped
Sorry for the big leave of absence I hadn’t realized I hadn’t posted in over 2 months. Honestly had lost quite a bit of interest until recently
One of the defining features of Oswestry depot over recent years was the sheer volume of unusual or unexpected vehicles that would turn up, often for a matter of days or weeks only, but occasionally staying a little longer to enliven the scene. Here Arriva Midlands, Shrewsbury P&R liveried Dennis Dart SLF 2305 - N305 ENX is pictured while on loan at the depot, having been displaced from its home town by a batch of brand new Optare Versas.
Sometimes, fireworks don't explode where you expect them... Thanks to photoshop, I develop my own technique to put them where I want them to be plus combining this with my DRI technique.
Parfois les feux d'artifices n'explosent pas toujours là où on voudrait... Grâce à photoshop, j'ai développé ma technique qui me permet de les mettre là où je les veux en la combinant à ma technique DRI.

My technique is alway the same:
Three exposures -2EV, 0, +2EV and then temperature adjustement using Lightroom and layering with luminosity mask using photoshop. Removal of distracting stuff with the stamp tool or patch tool. High pass filter to enhance details. Then saturation, contrast selectively control, dodge and burn where need...
DRI stand for Dynamic Range Increase. Three RAW files are used to achieve this. Rather than using a software like Photomatix for instance, I simply use mask to blend, my own way, the light, dark and normal shot with Photoshop and Lightroom.. To me, It looks more natural than the usual HDR treatment that I would normally applied.

Ma technique est toujours la même:
Trois prises de vue -2EV, 0, +2EV. Ensuite ajustement de la température de couleur avec Lightroom et usage de calques et masques de luminosités avec Photoshop. Retrait d'éléments de distraction avec l'outil tampon. Filtre High pass pour le rehaussement des détails. Ensuite saturation et contraste ajustés de façon sélectives et locales. Dodge and burn là où requis...
DRI vient de l'anglais Dynmic Range Increase, qui pourrait se traduire par étendue dynamique améliorée. Les même 3 fichiers RAW entrent dans la composition d'un DRI. Plutôt que de se servir d'un logiciel comme Photomatix qui fait tout le travail, je me sers plutôt de masques pour filtrer l'éclairage dans photoshop et Lightroom. De mon point de vue, cette façon de faire donne une image plus naturel que le traitement HDR que j'employais auparavant.

"Obla-di, Obla-da" by yours truly www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuKjj11NGzg
I didn't expect to find so many pre-war Tatras on this small town classic car meeting. This top of the line 17 surely was the treat. 450 17's were built, of which 250 with the bigger 31 engine.
The 17 was the first top Tatra to have the central chassis. This one was converted to a fire engine in 1934. Then the story remains hidden, until it was rediscovered in 2002 to be restored to its factory state, first presented in 2015.
The wheel base is over 3.5 meters. I saw the driver struggling to get this car over the meeting grounds towards the presentation area. It seems out of place in town, it is meant to drive distances with its (for the time) bizarre top speed of 110 km/h.

Having checked the Watercress Line's website earlier in the week, I was expecting only diesels to be hauling trains this weekend due to the hot, dry weather and associated fire risk. That made it a nice surprise when I heard a whistle in the distance and saw S15 Class 506 heading up the hill from Alresford.
Locomotive: LSWR Urie S15 Class 4-6-0 506.
Location: Northside Lane foot crossing near Ropley, Mid-Hants Railway/Watercress Line, Hampshire.
I'm approximately one year into fanning on the CP North Toronto sub and in the 13ish months, I've learned to never be suprised at anything CP does. With rumors flying left right and center about the SD70ACUs being mandated trailing locomotives, it was both suprising and not suprising (becuase CP) that one was going to be the sole power on a Chicago to Toronto autorack train. Fast forward a day, CP 2-240 is in Wolverton with CP 7058 and they decide to lift UP 4101 (Who came into Wolverton on a different train). Also; shocker, they were running light power to Toronto with a lift at Hornby. Unexpectedly (or maybe it should be expected), they lifted 3 tankers in Hornby and continued east, not stopping (aside from getting blocked by GO) until Toronto yard.
When I say expect the unexpected, its in reference to these sub 10 car trains that routinely see on "autorack" trains.
