Happy Fence Friday

Handheld HDR of sunset in late summer in Banff

My own hand, using a remote shutter release, and five small LED spotlights. As I wanted a plain black background, I covered myself in a black shroud and set the aperture as wide as possible. That led me to bump up the treatment in PP. It is overdone, but does produce sufficient punch.

Indoors, window light.

I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I know): their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who. I send them over land and sea, I send them east and west; but after they have worked for me, I give them all a rest. (Rudyard Kipling, Just So Stories)

All these, the man on the pedestal, and all those in the thousands of offices of Canary Wharf, London, and me, the photographer - visiting our planet for a short while, never to return. Shot taken on the Observatory Hill of Greenwich Park; edited in Fuji's raw converter and refined and cropped in Luminar. The man on the pedestal is General James Wolfe who "secured Canada for the British" in the 18th century.

You may wish to come up with your own interpretation. But I did use an ND filter and five small LED spotlights.

"Something but the past and done?"

Sitzt sicher, hinter dem Gitter des Halbverstandenen. Hinter der von anderen gemachten Norm. Nachahmer der etablierten Form. Irritierter Kunstpapst, dem die Angst im Nacken sitzt. Meister des Epigonentums.

Masks are a wonderful thing. This is a Korean folk theatre mask. But geography does not matter here. Manipulation of the electorate happens almost everywhere. Even in self-declared beacons of democracy such as the US and the UK. In particular there, at the moment. Promoting populist policies in the interest of the few are shady and non-elected political advisers. They are hiding behind the mask of the elected government. But they are looking at you. Contre-jour, reflector used.

Two early EMDs, a GP9 and GP10, hug the rails on their way north through Brocton with a 90 car grain train for interchange with the DREI at Metcalf.

These engines used to have a maroon stripe on the sides and front of them, but time has taken its toll on their paint job and they are now both a solid gray. On the 7565 though, a lot of blue is showing through allowing you to see its Conrail history,
