This scene is supposed to be Cosmo the Cougar doing some computer hacking in some type of secretive lair.

The near wagon is one that I have shot before. It is a Hack Passenger Wagon c. 1862 that is in the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History collection. It was manufactured by Abbot-Downing Co. Concord, New Hampshire
This four passenger wagon is the smallest of the Hack Passenger Wagons. The lighter versions of the East were called Concord Coaches. The heavy version, suited for the rough conditions of the West, was often called a "mud wagon" or "the poor man's Concord". The leather suspension system gave a ride that was smooth by the day's standards.
This coach belonged to Petra Vela Kenedy, wife of Mifflin Kenedy. Mr. Kenedy built a ranching empire in South Texas in the mid-19th century. By the time of Mrs. Kenedy's death in 1885, the ranch comprised 390,000 acres. This coach was most likely the preferred mode of transportation for Mrs. Kenedy, who traveled frequently from the La Parra Ranch in Kenedy County to the Kenedy home on the bluff in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Looking towards Hackness during sunset. Hackness is a small village just outside Scarborough of which I often cycle through but have never photographed before.
For this image I used HDR because either the foreground was too dark or the sky was blown out. Used 0.9 and 0.6 ND grad to try and reduce the contrast between the two. In the end I ended up using a series of 5 different exposures and the ND grads.
Bay Street Shuttle Train 530 heads over the Lower Hack movable bridge, the start of the Terminal Dispatchers jurisdiction, on its way back to Hoboken Terminal.
After a busy day sorting out a hacked email account thought this would be a good idea, not realising how time consuming this would be to process

(It's Ryan here) I just had to upload this to krysta's account so I could favourite it because I like it so much.
MUHAHA! <3
Iris is spunky hacker who loves using her custom multi-function prosthetic to cause chaos for the crime syndicates and corrupt law enforcement in the Layered City.
Iris prefers to use her hacking and programming skills to support Ode's team from the background. Iris has spent months implanting malware in the Layered City's computer system, and she uses the holo-computer built into her arm to exercise near absolute control over the city's many automated functions.
When she is forced to engage in combat, Iris has an emergency set of Phase-Tech claws and a Plasma beam emitter built into her arm.
Iris fills an invaluable role on Ode's team, and her upbeat attitude and general positivity keep her team's spirit high. While she appears to support Ode's goal of ridding the Layered City of corruption, it is unclear if she has an ulterior motive. She is incredibly secretive about her past and how she became such a proficient hacker without detection.
Build Notes:
This one was an adventure. The concept for "Hacker Girl" started with the mechanical arm with the computer built in. The colors and hair for her changed a bunch when I was working on her (RIP purple shoes). A lot of the decisions of the appearance of this character were made based on parts limitations (the crop top for example was because I ran out of black curved slopes half way through building the shirt). The end result is really flexible and can hold lots of dynamic poses. As always, face and some of the hair design by Eero Okkonen. I promise I'll quit ripping off his stuff eventually.
The main problem with these 15-metre coaches is the outswing at the back end, and Plaxton is now offering a solution to this issue by removing the rearmost portion of the body, which is really only empty space underneath - a sort of "cut-and-shut" job. The engine area is unaffected, as the chassis was extended in the first place to take the extra body length. The only loss is the floor-mounted toilet at the rear, which is not an issue for these mid-life vehicles. Andrews of Tideswell had the first one of these in 2014, and this is the only other one I have encountered, almost on my doorstep. Travel Master of Carrington had run this one for two years in original condition, and still in Megabus blue, but it turned up at York racecourse in July fully repainted - and a bit shorter ! It is still a 65-seater, though.

Between 1914 and 1918, lumberjacks worked in the Wyoming Range cutting trees to produce tens of thousands of railroad ties to be used in the construction of Union Pacific track between Rawlins to Cokeville.
The men were called "tie hacks" and worked ten-hour days, six days a week, chopping down the trees by hand, then hand-hewing them into railroad ties using a broadaxe.
This hard work was done in the dead of winter in freezing temperatures with several feet of snow on the ground. The men living in work camps and small cabins dotted throughout the drainages. They skied and snowshoed to travel between workcamps and get supplies from the camp commissary.
The men were paid by the tie, which were dragged down to the streams and stockpiled during the winter. When spring high water came, the ties were broken free and sent rushing downstream to the Green River and then floated 100 miles downstream to the town of Green River, west of Rock Springs.
Tie hacks camps operated in the Wyoming Range and the eastern slopes of the Wind River Range.
Over ten million ties were taken out of the forests of western Wyoming at the turn of the century. The era ended in the early 1940s.
Remnants of old tie hack cabins can still be found today.

The Matrix is still one of my favourite films. In the downtime over Christmas and New Year I was inspired to shoot this strobist selfie because my brother had so many old computer monitors lying around. I was travelling light with just one speedlight, a set of wireless triggers, but no filters or other light modifiers and so had to improvise.
Strobist info:
The key light was a Nikon SB28 at 1/64th power placed on the desk behind the laptop and the main screen, pointing up at the subject. An offcut from a green/blue plastic bag was used to provide the greenish tinge and the lenshood of my 24-70mm lens was used as a snoot to limit the spill. The computer screens actually provided very little light. Triggered wirelessly using a Yongnuo YN-622N trigger
