A nightly NR-2 is led South across Stoddard Cove by a trio of matching, freshly repainted P&W units. SD70M-2 4301 leads the way with B40-8 4002 and B40-8W 4007 trailing second and third. After a day of shooting properly painted P&W units in the New Haven area, I was planning on spending the following day in Plainfield. When I got there, however, I couldn't find a single unit still in the classic P&W colors, so I decided to return to New Haven that same night to shoot more classic P&Ws the following day. I did, however, set up for a shot of the nightly NR-2 when I saw them putting together their train together in the yard so that my trip up to Plainfield wouldn't have been in vain. Gales Ferry, CT
Nine years ago in August of 2008, my mom took me and my brother to this very location on a visit to my aunt's house who lived in Gales Ferry at the time. We shot the same train, NR-2, which ran in daylight at the time, heading South across the cove with a B23-7R in the lead and a Geep bringing up the rear. I was only eleven at the time, so it was cool to return to the same location almost a decade later.

We had another beautiful day here in Sydney today, so I went for a walk around the neighbourhood. I called in at another neighbour's garden and spotted this bee flying around one of the dahlias. It had so much pollen that I think it was having trouble flying. It was hovering around so long that I managed to get a few photos in flight. The last one didn't really turn out, but it is one of the first photos that I have got of a bee front on. These were taken with my 75-300 mm lens and the 36 mm Kenko extension tube.
Wildlife in a lockdown garden. Not sure what bee this is yet, but its tiny only about 10mm in length. Is this Macropis europaea on Lysimachia nummulites.
"Macro Mondays" contribution "Buttons".
"Dual 626" turntable (1979).
Size of the area in focus: 5,5x3,4cm. Lit with a red-coloured Maglite and a blue flash.

The Last Time I Saw Paris and Notre-Dame was in my youth and armed with a film camera. Wonderful news that this classic piece of History has been fully restored to its former glory - vive Notre-Dame.
Scanned from my 35mm film archive - colour slide -
Image now has verticals straightened and a little detail brought out in the shadows. It's amazing just what detail was captured in those old slides on Kodak Ektachrome colour positive film.
Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, 1976
Thank you all for your nice comments on my Spider yesterday. Some of you asked how I relocated them. I put gloves on (since they can have a bad bite), took a flower pot and cardboard. With the cardboard I scraped as many of them into the flower pot and the took the pot into the woods. So now you know ;-)
Have a fantastic day/evening! Take care

I've not been out for a photo trip for a while now, just local walks and was looking back at images taken earlier in the year. I posted a shot of this Pine Marten at the time, but I think this one is better.

Rus.: Вторая встреча с Сатурном
Сатурн... ну, прям как девушка: на первом свидании не позволил подобраться ближе ;-)
Я, конечно, не удержался от попытки сделать фото, но ничего из той попытки не вышло.
Зато по итогам первой встречи рассчитал максимальную продолжительность видеоролика для своего оборудования. Оказалось, что Сатурн с моим оборудованием готов позволить ок. 2 минут видеоролика: Сатурн не так "вертляв", как Юпитер, - оборачивается вокруг своей оси за 10.5 часов против 9 часов Юпитера и угловой размер его диска меньше - отсюда разница в продолжительности роликов почти двукратная.
Тем не менее, эту шуструю планету, как и Юпитер, лучше снимать с максимальной частотой кадров сравнительно короткими сессиями (пока не успевает заметно повернуться).
Ко второй встрече с Сатурном подготовился лучше и, улучив погоду, предпринял попытку в ночь с 17 на 18 июля. На этот раз чуть более удачно ;-)
Для "шустрых" (быстро вращающихся) планет выбираю режим съёмки видео. Позже обрабатываю с выбором наилучших кадров и их суммированием в соответствующих программах. Несколько разных видеороликов помогает складывать программа WinJupos - она суммирует ролики за разное время с учётом вращения планеты, так получается накопить больше кадров, чем позволяет лимит одиночного ролика (см.выше об этом лимите).
Чтобы попытаться заполучить цвет, решил сделать ещё 5 обычных фото в RAW-формате (возможно, немного ошибся при совмещении слоёв видео и фото).
Зато так удалось приблизиться к тому, что видел в окуляре (а видел лучше, чем удалось передать на фото).
Буду ждать новой встречи с этой очень красивой планетой ;-)
Amazing the transformation in 24 hours. The final 3 whorls are completely open, and the little green sidekick has lost much of its color.

"Skye!!!????" she said
"Yes, I told you". OK. perhaps she wasn't fully awake when I told her at 0330 in the morning.
It was now after 1000 and I was on my way down from the Old Man of Storr. "How long will it take you to get back?" she asked.
"About 4 hours" was the answer. it was going to have to be a long day. By the time I had been to the Fairy Pools I would spend around 9 hours driving that day.
I was under pressure for time. No time for tripods and long exposures. I had to make do with a handheld stitched pano. The Bridge at Sligachan. Another Thomas Telford creation built around 1810 and still standing
A day out in Skye is not really viable. You need a week there.
This bald eagle is one of a mating pair. Its left the nest area to fly over near its mate in a nearby tree. Eggs have not been laid yet, but the nest is ready and they've been very busy making sure that any eggs are fertilized.
