Flash Gordon Fan art
Watched it for the first time in ages the other day and just realised its basically just space erotica
The RailCare Co-op container service 63688 from Brig RB to Niederbottigen was once a good bet for a BLS Re 4/4 (Class 425) Brown, but 2014 has seen the use of a member of the pool of Re 465 machines now assigned to RailCare domestic freight. Locomotive 465 018 with 'Flash Fire' branding was recorded just north of Kiesen.

Blue jay, trying to get out of the way of a very aggressive female cardinal who proceeded to chase the jay out of the yard
In April 2020, as we were in lockdown, I tried to renew my approach of garden subjects by shooting available foliage and flowers in macro, but handheld and lit with a flash to freeze any movement as may have been caused by the breeze.
Thus, I placed one of my Phottix Pro Mitros+ cobra flashes (connected to a Godox PB960 battery pack) on a Manfrotto Nano stand and brought that with me as I walked around the bushes and alleys. On the camera was a Phottix Pro Odin II flash controller, which allowed me to set and trigger the flash remotely, without any cable, and that setup worked very well, from a technical standpoint, as the radio range is, I think, more than 100 meters and doesn’t care about walls or other obstacles as a line-of-sight infrared communication link would.
From an artistic standpoint, this new approach gave me some interesting results, I think. I will upload the dozen shots or so over the next few days, you can always let me know what you think in the comments... Thanks in advance!
I thought I would try my flash to illuminate the foreground plants, but forgot that I could only go to 1/250 second, so the shutter speed is a bit slow for the front of the engine. This is at the Salt Creek Trestle east of Oakridge, OR, and the train is a northbound manifest of mostly empties.
It was kind of surreal seeing the spontaneous flashes but no following thunder. Just like nature put itself on mute.
Getting the first shot is required to get this right as it mixes in to a grey mess in an instant. Great fun to do but needs patience, persistence & a bucket of soapy water to clean up, to get what you want!
14A rockets down the grade towards Gembrook, with the home signal almost in sight. My first real attempt at photographing a moving train using off-camera flash, with a Canon 430EX III-RT flash set in manual mode, triggered by a pair of Yongnuo YN622-C transceivers.
14A was working an evening wood collection train for the PBR's Young Volunteers Representative Team.

More ringflash fun, from the other day.
I'll be at an all-day shoot until after 6pm, so I can upload Parkour Josh later tonight. hahaha.

A visit to Page, Arizona is not complete without a visit to one of the slot canyons! Lower Antelope Canyon is called Hazdistazí, or 'spiral rock arches' by the Navajo. It is longer, narrower and sometimes footing isn't even available, making it a more difficult hike than Upper Antelope. The Antelope Canyons are located in the Navajo Nation and to visit the slot canyon you must use a tour guide that has been authorized by the Navajo Nation.
This was taken in Lower Antelope Canyon and shows the power of the water eroding the Navajo Sandstone. From this location on the slot canyon floor it is 30 to 40 feet of curving Navajo Sandstone to the surface.The guide of the tour gave general guidelines or rules on how to get the best results when shooting in the slot canyons. The guidelines mentioned most often were that when shooting overhead to avoid any direct sunlight on the Navajo Sandstone and also to avoid including any sky in the composition. For this image I ignored his guidelines/rules with the aid of a sturdy and stable tripod, mirror lock up, multiple stop bracketing and a remote release.
"Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic "flowing" shapes in the rock." The description from Wikipedia
