My last shot reminded me of a similar shot I took last Winter but of a Cardinal. Very similar strategies...tuck the wings in and let gravity be your energy....

I want to defy gravity.
I'm through accepting limits
cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know.
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
my whole body hurts from trying to get a good shot. i have scraps all
over my arms and legs plus its freezing outside. at the moment it kinda
feels like photography is my only friend, i hang out with it every day and
i barley get to hang out with my real friends though i have nothing going
on in my life, they do. and they seem to never have time anymore while
i do. but oh well i'm learning to cope.
P.S. this picture makes me feel like a little kid again. I used to love climbing trees.
Here is a my first step into a new series of educational prints I've been working on. This set gives a brief overview of the 4 fundamental forces of the known universe: Weak Force, Strong Force, Electromagnetism & Gravity. Hope to have a lot more from this series in the future.

Our theme this week in Macro Monday's is "Speed"
Every Monday, we post one to five macro photos depicting the weekly challenge. This week's challenge is "Speed."
I figured I'd try to stop the effects of gravity.
How'd I do? Two photos uploaded...
Strobist: sb800 lower left in my lightbox fired in commander mode. Focus set manually on plane that the marbles were falling (through a hole in the top.) Lots of pours of marbles. Lots of marbles on the floor too...
Much appreciation goes to one who assisted me and stayed patient as I was getting tired and impatient. Thank you.

Baby,
It’s been a long time coming,
Such a long, long time,
And I can’t stop running,
Such a long, long time.
Can you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear that sound?
’Cause I can’t help thinking
And I won’t stop now.
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
Oh, the way that gravity pulls on you and me,
And then I looked up at the sky and saw the sun,
And the way that gravity pushes on everyone,
On everyone.
Baby,
When your wheels stop turning,
And you feel let down,
And it seems like troubles
Have come from all around.
I can hear your heart beating,
I can hear that sound,
But I can’t help thinking
And I won’t look now.
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
Oh, the way that gravity pulls on you and me,
And then I looked up at the sky and saw the sun,
And the way that gravity pushes on everyone,
On everyone.
On everyone.
On everyone.
On everyone.
On everyone.
GRAVITY by Coldplay
Gravity performed by Embrace (written for Coldplay)
But let me quote from another Embrace song, Nature's Law which I feel also covers the falling of the petals;
"You should never fight your feelings,
When your very bones believe them,
You should never fight your feelings,
You have to follow Nature’s Law."
Dear friends, after so many mail requests here´s the setup for "Gravity Drink"
Two softboxes triggered at 1/8 , and two SB-800 wirelessly triggered towards the white wall at 1/8
In 2018, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic re-lettered K-36 2-8-2 No. 488 as locomotive No. 483, which, due to mechanical problems, hasn't run since 1977. On August 23, 2018, the "revived" No. 483 emerged from the shop in Chama, New Mexico in authentic 1960s paint and lettering. The following day, August 24, it operated as the helper engine on regular Chama-Cumbres Pass passenger train on a break-in run with locomotive No. 463. After returning light to Chama, it posed that evening for night photos with locomotive 484 at the double-spouted water tank. Following this was a two-day recreation of the last freight train(s) to operate between Antonito, Colorado, and Chama, New Mexico, in 1968, which was sponsored by TRAINS Magazine. After the charter concluded on August 26, the "483" was used one final time to pull the regular Chama-Antonito train on August 27 before it was re-lettered back as No. 488. It has been noted that the actual No. 483 was the favorite locomotive of the 10 engines that comprised Rio Grande's K-36 class, at least by the D&RGW (and later C&TS) crews that worked on her. While the original sits on display today in Chama and is well cared for, it may never run again. Seeing and photographing a recreation of 483 steaming on the three-foot narrow gauge was almost (almost!) as good as seeing the real thing.
"There is grandeur in this view of life, which its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved".

Finally - right place, right time. After all the years I've visited the FR I've never seen or photographed a gravity slate train.
Gravity slate trains, although not unique, are generally associated with the Ffestiniog Railway and are run on odd occasions/special events, and are only available to staff/volunteers and specially invited guests. The leading brakesman, who is a qualified driver indicates by hand signals to the other brakesmen as to how many brakes to apply. This was the 2nd movement today with the anti-gravity train to Ddaullt being worked by 'Welsh Pony' and 'Palmerston'. The gravity slate train is seen at Minffordd after descending from Ddaullt, with today's two locos following down a while later.
Thanks to the FR staff member (the guard of today's 'Snowdonia Star’) for taking the trouble, when asked, to find out the times for me. 25th June 2022.

There is no siding or run-around track at the end of the former Erie Railroad line t that is still used by the Ashland Railway. So to get the cars to be taken back to Mansfield behind the engine, the brakes on the cars are released and the crew allows gravity to roll them eastward. The Ashland locomotive will then tie on to them and pull them westward. A crew member watches out for traffic on West Britton Road as the "switching" is done.
Defying Gravity
You can battle gravity, but you won't succeed.
But you can try defying it.
