The beauty of this area is well known having been immortalised in song and as part of Scotland's oldest National Park, the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Loch Lomond is the largest, by area, freshwater loch in Britain, being 24 miles long, between 5 miles and 3/4 of a mile wide to a depth of up to 620 feet (190m). Lying on the Highland Boundary Fault, which is the boundary between the lowlands of Central Scotland and the Highlands. Historically the Loch formed part of the boundary between Stirlingshire and Dunbartonshire. Currently the loch is split between the council areas of Stirling, Argyll and Bute, and West Dunbartonshire. Its southern shores are about 14 miles north of Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city making it a very popular location for people who want to enjoy the loch both on and off the water. The National Park Authority have tried to achieve a balance between land-based tourists and loch users.
On a chilly fall day at 12PM, I was lying down waiting for the southbound run as I was surprised by the sound of the bell from PW B23-S7 2215, the final "Super 7" in operation. PW2215 rounds the curve with a late CSO-3 headed north at Hartford, Connecticut as the crew gets a late start.
It was the final day of my last northeast visit and I have decided to make a last second trip to Connecticut with a stop by the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA. Something told me to check out Hartford, CT one final time before going back to California. My gut feeling would lead to seeing the now final GE "Super 7" in operation and later, a CSOR High hood GP38-2 on the southbound CSO-4.
To explain the title, I attempted to shoot this locomotive with a close friend the week prior but due to a minor derailment, we weren't able to see it as it was 2 CSOR Geeps. But then I went alone only to be surprised by CSO-3 when she wasn't available....sorry bro.
In what is becoming a spring/summer series for me, this is a photograph of Bleeding Hearts shot in ultraviolet light and the camera capturing the fluorescence that results. Regular camera + pure UV light can create magic!
This shot was also made on the new Panasonic GH5. I’ve been evaluating the camera over the past couple of weeks and while I don’t have a full review, it has exceeded expectations in many ways. For a high ISO image (3200) on a MFT sensor I expected more trouble, and with an extreme scenario like UVIVF (ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence) it handled itself well. This image is uncropped, but obviously edited.
For those that don’t know my “usual” gear, it’s a Canon 1DX mark II and a wonderful assortment of lenses, flashes, and accessories to push photographic limits. The Panasonic GH5 is proving to be a capable replacement for this in some ways, with the benefits of a smaller size making up for other minor shortcomings for the work I’m currently doing. In the coming weeks I’ll be shooting a few video projects with this, but as a stills camera I’m not in the least disappointed.
I was surprised when I saw Bleeding Hearts out so early in my gardens (this image was taken at the end of April), and needed to get a shot of them before the hearts opened up – I figured this would make for a cleaner image overall for this purpose. It was fascinating to see that different parts of the flower fluoresced back to the camera at a different frequency. Many flowers will fluoresce into the blues and purples like this giving a characteristic look, but my experiments with daffodils revealed yellow-green fluorescence.
I suppose it makes sense that the most common fluorescence would be in the purple-blue hues. I read a study that referenced nitrogen content in “resilin”, a rubbery/elastic compound commonly found in insects. Since plants are often fueled by nitrogen, could it contribute to these glowing colours in some way? The question is more complex than one single element can explain, but at least it’s a place to start.
From a processing standpoint, there was one surprise: the noise reduction algorithms in Lightroom and Photoshop are terrible. Likely due to the unusual colour palette and gamut of these images, the noise reduction slider actually added a ton of noise in certain areas of the image. I did a double-take on this, and even restarted to Photoshop thinking it was some sort of glitch… but saturated purple-blues are tough to handle with most edits. Brightening them shifts them too far to purple and requires a hue shift back, contrast dramatically increases saturation which isn’t expected, and noise reduction is just backwards. This is not fault of the camera gear used, but the processing “engine” not properly handling this fringe-case of an image. Printing these photos becomes an even more epic challenge!
The adventure continues… there is much to discover here!
(If you’re curious to experiment with these kinds of techniques as well, I can answer any questions you have. I’d also be happy to show you how it’s done in a one-on-one workshop in my studio. If you’re interested, let me know! I also have group macro workshops available here: www.donkom.ca/workshops/ )
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
To me this is the most vibrant display of colour in the fall.
The Aspy Fault runs inland for about 40 kilometres (24 miles) through Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
Land masses move and separate along fault lines, geologists can determine what land masses might once have been connected. Cape Breton may have been joined to Africa at one time.

China Wall has formed along a major fault known as the Pilgrim Fault. The Mount Philp Breccia crosses 2km into the China Wall track from Ballara, which consists of fragments of metadolerite and some calcsilicate rocks in a matrix of albite (sodium feldspar) hornblende, and megnetite. It may have been produced by the mixing of two differing types of magma during either the Wonga or Williams events. It can be seen in some low cuttings.
Roundabout 4.7km into the China Wall track from Ballara is a creek crossing, about 250m upstream rocks seen in the creek bed are dark grey calcsilicates of the Corella Formation, but not far on these rocks are intruded by pink finegrained rock composed of pink feldspar and subordinate hornblende, which contains numerous fragments of dark-green to black metadolerite and some calc-silicates. This is the Mount Philp Breccia. Farther on a cream coarse-grained rock in the southern bank is a pegmatite that seems to have intruded the breccia. Calc-silicates again outcrop farther upstream but are also cut by dykes of the breccia.
China Wall itself becomes visible after a further 1.8km. It is another narrow ridge of quartz filling a major fault, and is about 400m long, up to 20m high and only about 1m wide in some places. The Pilgrim Fault has been active over a long period of time from the Proterozoic until at least the Cambrian. Here is separates the Corella Formation on the west from the Overhand Jaspilite on the east. The latter is starkly evident as large black outcrops of manganese-stained siltstone.

Sand Dunes in the Black Rock Desert. These dunes have formed on was was once the bed of Lake Bonneville. During the Pleistocene, the large pluvial lake covered much of what is now northwestern Utah, in some places to a depth of 900 feet. These dunes are modern deposits, however, not ancient lakebed sediments. The mountains in the distance are the Pahvant Range, a large normal fault block of late Paleozoic and Mesozoic marine sediments. The range began to form about 17 million years ago. West of Holden, Millard Co., Utah.
I'm tryingt to upload more of my graphic design work at the moment.
So here is a poster I made/designed last year as a college project. It was for a fictious exhibition by an fictious artist. I made it all with cut out paper and just added in the finer details on illustrator afterwards.

An al fresco lecture on the tectonic development of the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately despite the Alberta geology map to help me I can't actually locate this position! The distant peak looks like Castle Mountain but I can't find this view with the other peak in front from the roadside.
It's definitely in Alberta & from the style of the folding/faulting it is probably the Eastern Main Range in Banff National Park. Does anyone know which peaks these are?
UPDATE: Finally found it! Crowsnest Mountain with the Seven Sisters behind. It is on strike with the Banff National Park but 200 km south of it.... Between Fernie and Frank.
Taken back in January of 2006, two months after the October 9, 2005 catastrophic flood in Alstead. Here's a Huffy Bicycle beside a shed, looking like it's not going to see any use until after the snow melts. We were returning from a camera club function near Lebanon, New Hampshire and decided to pass through Alstead to see how the town was recovering. Parts of the town were still a mess and we decided we would NOT photograph any of the damage caused by this deadly weather event. Seeing the destruction was enough.
This was taken with my old Kodak P850 point & shoot camera, a great little 5 MP camera having a 12x image stabilizing zoom lens. Any bad images I got with it were NOT the fault of the camera. Last week after going through some images taken with it years ago, I brought it "out of hibernation", charged up its battery and did some macro shooting in my back yard. It still functions 100% as new. Except for the white lettering around a function button having worn off, it looks new too. I like using my older cameras that are "sleeping" in the back of my cabinet. They're too good to just have sitting around taking up space.

I've had trouble with my Photoshop (PS CC) for the last couple of weeks with errors on opening and brushes disappearing among other things, tonight it quit mid save and left me this wonderful glitch so I decided to embrace it for todays shot.
A slightly different take of “The Crack” just outside of the Subway. In actuality the crack is just a fault line outside of the Subway entrance. What makes this fault so interesting is the water flowing through it creating beautiful textures.
Often photographed closer up with pure emphasis on a portion of the crack I went for a more zoomed out framing showing the environment surround the crack. Before seeing it I had always thought the crack was located smack in the middle of the cascades. I was wrong. The crack is located next to a curved wall and the water is fed from a small cascading waterfall. I included some of the background trees to show the fall colors and a sense of distance. One thing I did notice was the lack of red maples in the area. The leaves surrounding the crack were already present when I had arrived and hence must have been placed there by prior photographers (not entirely natural but definitely adds some nice colors :).
Located at the top of Archangel Cascades the rock surrounding the crack was mostly all wet. I wanted to reduce some of the reflection but also keep some of it to show the wetness and to show some glimmer. I did in fact take the classic close up shots of it as well. I will save it for a later time.

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Tariffs, DEI, Racism, Global Warming, Layoffs, Food Prices, eggs: since January 20th, this has been a sliding scale of added concerns that have been on our minds for the last few months. I'm remaining optimistic that tough times don't always last. Have faith, but don't be unprepared. ♥
Mount Philp is a prominent ridge 2.5km long and 25m wide which consists of hematite and quartz with small amounts of magnetic, containing 30 to 40% iron. It has been investigated as a source of iron ore, but the reserves are too small to be economic. The ironstone is banded and may have formed by replacement of the Corella Formation by iron-rich fluids perhaps adjacent to a fault zone.

Now here's a story. I recently took my 20 year old Mercedes E Class for it's annual service and MOT and as I drove away from the house the car's acceleration felt odd. The garage who service the car said they couldn't find the cause of the problem as 'the car is too old for our diagnostic gear'!!! They recommended that I took the car to AF Tuning. When I arrived I found a garage that looked very 1960s but it had other Mercedes, Porsches and even an E Type in for attention. AT Tuning fixed the problem and allowed me to photograph the place at the same time. Amongst all the repair gear were computers being used to diagnose faults. They are able to tackle all sorts of models and problems. I recommend them.
