With morning servicing complete, Valley Railroad Consolidation #97 makes her way light across the yard in Essex, CT, headed to the depot to pick up a passenger consist. This 1926 Alco product is the Valley's longest serving steam locomotive, having entered service here in 1973, just two years after the former New York, New Haven & Hartford line was established as a tourist operation. On this particular morning in October of 2024, the locomotive was performing for a photo shoot organized by Dak Dillon Photography.

Perhaps the most physically demanding shot I've done so far. To lie inches away from flames on our notorious grass with water attacking my face isn't the most pleasant experience. However, I guess it was worthwhile. I have burned our home's supply of newspaper, and I had to resort to paper bags.
And if i could, I would have lit a bon-fire like thing, but I couldn't risk burning down our garden :P
That would've beaten this paltry little fire
On a brighter note, no school tomorrow! :D
yay :)
Rather spectacular lamp in the café of Galleri Trafo in Asker just oustide Oslo, Norway. Great design on this. Btw - re: a comment that this could be christmas decoration lights - the bulbs are normal size, and the diameter of the circle is nearly two meters, I'd guess... :-)
No awards or iconed group inviations, please. If you're interested in purchasing my image, please check my profile page for info.
I've just discovered the power of ISO 3200!
I am beginning to experiment w/ low light. A bit grainy, but sure beats missing the shot all together! Maybe it's time to invest in Noise Ninja...
[Editor:] This was shot in complete darkness except for the rope light itself.
A factory in the night somewhere near Chicago, couldn't capture the way i wanted from a moving car, but it turned out good.
Is it a wave? Is it a particle? How come it travels so fast (3.0×10⁸ m/s)? Light is so damn cool, and there are so many equations and concepts I could go into, but I'd be here for days.
Minus the crop, this is straight out of the camera.
For Abe: Shmobist: Single light bulb, directly between wall and subject. Fast shutter speed to allow for minimal light and maximum shadow/silhouette .
“Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.”

Comments welcomed, but, not necessary...
I hope to get to all my contacts soon!
Some anxiety issues going on with me right now!
Thanks in advance for understanding! ♥

Early evening, minutes before this photo:
Iceland. What a country. A photographers paradise, a travellers dream. Beautifull and wild scenery throughout.
In the winter, it is all covered in snow, and thank fully a distinct lack of tourists and people roaming around to get in the way. The people highly educated inteligent and friendly. The light however did not often play ball in the 6 days we were ther and had to make the best of it..
Big thanks to Kerstin, who joined us in Iceland as we took a tour around the southern part of Iceland, please check out her stream, she is an excellent photographer with an immence knowlede and love of Iceland.

This shot was an opportunistic shot whilst on the road. Donogh who accompanied me on this visit spotted the light over the mountain and we came to a stop to take a few shots of this.
Enjoy, will be trying to catch up with every one over the next few days..
