More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren't so busy denying them.

wish you a great new week :)
Just another from Day 1 of my outing with steam down in the canelands.
US Sugar Corporation's recently restored 4-6-2 Pacific number 148 appears as if it's floating atop the field of cane as it rolls east (railroad south) at about MP 936.2 (measured from Richmond, VA) at the head of the AAPRCO 'Sugarland Limited' special operating on rails now belonging to modern day shortline South Central Florida Express. They are heading from Sebring to Clewiston where the eight historic cars will be based at the railroad’s headquarters for the next several days of rare mileage excursions and tours.
Wholly owned by US Sugar Corp. as their common carrier railroad subsidiary, this particular trackage was built about 1922 by the Atlantic Coast Line and remained with ACL successors SCL and SBD until becoming part of CSX. The latter finally sold this branch line in June 1990 to the Brandywine Valley Railroad, a Lukens Steel Company subsidiary which operated it as the SCFE. Four years later they sold the railroad to its largest customer, U.S. Sugar which operates it as a separate company semi independent from the 119 miles of private non common carrier branch lines they already owned.
Clean burning (it's fired with used restaurant vegetable oil) 148 was built for the Florida East Coast Railway in 1920 at Alco's Richmond Works and served for the FEC for 32 years including operating over the famed 'Overseas Railroad' to Key West until that line was wiped out by the 1935 hurricane.
From 1952 to 1968, 148 was owned by US Sugar for use on their private cane hauling railroad. Later used in excursion service on the Black River and Western and Morristown and Erie Railroads it then languished with different owners for decades until being repatriated to Clewiston and restored over a four year period.

This Saturday 10 volunteers organized a workshop to learn programming with the Scratch visual programming software and robotics with the Lego Wedo and Mindstorms kits to kids.
There have been a lot of other sessions for 3 years since we've started to promote this type of workshop.
Thanks to all these people and the organizations that provides knowledge, computers, resources kits and snacks (ADN Ouest, La ruche numérique, La cantine numérique, Devoxx4Kids, Coder Dojo, Coding Gouter, ...., as well as a large number of companies that are sponsors for these events)

Learn from my mistake!
This one if from the archives, it was taken at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire in 2007. I posted this photo to demonstrate that it's sometimes necessary to switch over to manual focus from time to time. The lens/camera choose the easy thing to focus, which was the band-aid, but the Newt's head is out of focus. Had I just flipped the switch to manual and moved up 1", I would have gotten a better shot.
Any Comments or Critiques are welcome. What else could I have done differently?
Edit: This isn't a "Newt" per se, but a lizard known as a Anole. More info here:
[well i threw you the obvious,
just to see if there's more behind the
eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.
here i am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded
but i see,
see through it all,
see through,
One of the flowers I had been told to explore under a UV light was “stonecrop”, which is a genus of flowers containing more than 400 different varieties. Some do nothing, others light up like fireworks! Fitting for a 4th of July post, enjoy these glowing flowers and read on to learn how to create images like this!
I suppose the first thing you should do is compare this image to the “visible light” version: donkom.ca/bts/PDKP2975.jpg - the flowers are mostly one hue and shade of yellow with yellow-green stems. When they fluoresce under UV light, the buds become rosey, extra hues appear in the centers of some flowers and there is a heck of a lot more depth of colour to the image!
This was shot using three custom-modified UV flashes at point-blank range on a table in my studio. Here’s a BTS shot showing the lighting setup: donkom.ca/bts/PDKP2968.jpg . The flashes actually enter the frame of the final image, but they don’t intersect with the subject so they can be edited out. Even at this close distance, the amount that these Sedum rupestre ‘Angelina’ stonecrop flowers fluoresce is very dim. I found the use of my Platypod allowed for a much more solid base for front-heavy flashes opposed to normal tabletop tripods.
To maintain the best image quality, the image was shot at ISO 500, F/14 and 30sec exposure, while I held my flash transmitter in my hand and manually popped the flashes at 1/1 output whenever they beeped stating they had recycled. This process was repeated at three slightly different focus points with my Lumix S1R on a tripod, and focus stacked. Complex interactions and overlaps of elements in the frame meant that shooting with a wider aperture, lower ISO and more frames would just lead to headaches in post-processing. Keeping it simple, only three frames needed to get everything sharp here.
So wait a minute, why do things fluoresce? What exactly is happening when normally-invisible ultraviolet light strikes these flowers? To be clear, my flashes only emit UV light, yet the camera detects and records visible light. The simplest way that I can describe this is that the UV light excites the atoms in the flower, causing the electrons to jump up to a higher orbit/ring. This doesn’t last for very long – instantly to our own perceptions – and the electron decays back to its normal lower orbit. This also releases energy in the form of light within the visible spectrum: fluorescence. Fluorescence actually happens all the time from shorter-wave light within the visible spectrum to longer-wavelength light, it’s all around us hiding in plain sight.
Want to know camera techniques, subject insight, equipment lists and more to create images like this of your very own?

My fav band is the Foo Fighters so as soon as I saw the theme I knew my pic was going to be inspired by one of their tracks. Learn to Fly is one of the first tracks that got me into their stuff so it felt right to try to find something connected to the word Fly. HMM!

GBRF’s colas liveried 60085 is seen heading away from Northumberland Park station, which will soon be the interchange for the Blyth and Tyne and Tyne and Wear Metro system passenger trains, with the 6N86 0929 Tyne Coal Terminal to Lynemouth Power Station on Monday the 6th of September 2021.
The old track in the foreground has recently been taken up as part of upgrades for passenger trains running on this route.

YOU JUST HAVE TO VIEW ON BLACKNESS :) :)
----I have also joined the amazingly inspiring Vimeo!! Feel free to be-friend me if your around those part's :)
and OH OH OH.... Vimeo inspired me THAT much that I purchased a Sony Handycam DCR-HC27 Camcorder :D I have been meaning to experiment for a while now, I'm just itching to learn and expand my creative horizon :)
NOTE : I have a SERIOUS amount of shots from the same hour this was taken, I just don't want to upload all at once. I make that mistake quite a lot. I just want everyone to tell me what they think first before they have to click 'next page'.... ( It's annoying that I know) Unfortunately no-one actually has the same amount of free time to themselves as much as I do. Do not judge. I have a job, but I have been there for 4 years now and are starting to fall out of my bubble. It does not enthuse my brain very much! Although I do like interacting with different and interesting people 24/7 throughout each day out of the 3 days a week I am actually at work :/ I really do love talking to the older generation, with their withered past still staying strong in their minds full of wisdom :)
I do have an interview ACTUALLY :) I forgot to say :O An interview for an Auxiliary Nurse at my local hospital :) I really need to change my life before it just floats off into such overbearingly circumstances.
I am on my own, with Monty - my best friend. He is allways here to keep me smiling :)
Over and out ......... *JIGGGG*
Thanks for stopping by and view this photo. The reason for posting this photo on Flickr is to learn so if you have constructive feedback regarding what I could do better and / or what should I try, drop me a note I would love to hear your input.
View on Black the way it should be seen!
