Trying out my new Nikon 28mm lens. I enjoy this focal length as it allows me to get really close to the subject.
Tower bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in central London. The bridge is built over the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. The bridge's present color red, white and blue was painted for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. The tower, with ornate Victorian Gothic style, stands tall against cloudy sky. It makes the bridge a distinctive landmark. The dark steel suspension chain and steel hangers look beautiful with the towers!

A shot of Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland, looking across Embleton Bay, early morning after sunrise. I needed to get the camera very low in order to get the reflection, which required inverting the Center column of the tripod and having the camera virtually touching the water.

Another shot from the recent visit to York.
We eventually made our way round to The Shambles, for another fairly classic view. Although the scene looks tranquil, it was in fact very busy and we had to be quick to grab shots in between the many groups partaking in “Ghost Walk” tours.
For this shot I just placed the camera directly onto the street surface as I wanted a very low angle, in part to hide some crowds at the other end of the street. I also did a simple focus stack due to the wide aperture.

"One of Blackpool's heritage trams will now continue to operate until the end of November, it has been announced.
Two trams - including one decorated in the style of a ship - are running along the town's seafront during the Lightpool Festival, which ends on 1 November and features an array of light installations." - www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj41e019yqdo.amp
▪️ Am weddill y flwyddyn, fodd bynnag, mae sŵn a golwg yr hen dramiau a ddenai pobl i Blackpool wedi mynd o lan y môr. Mae diffyg yn awyrgych y promenâd yn yr haf.
▪️ For the rest of the year, however, the sound & sight of the old trams which attracted people to Blackpool has gone from the seaside. Something is lacking in the promenade's atmosphere in summer.
On the Torquay Pier, talking about the past or fantasize about the future.
Thanks Majo for the low angle idea :)
I took this photo when I worked as a marketing manager for a tyre manufacturer, and it was used in advertising campaigns across the world. It was often used as a full page advert in farming magazines. I used a Canon 5D with 12.8 megapixels - who says you need high resolution cameras!
A project I've been slowly working on for a while is this scratch-built Fairbanks Morse H16-44 in Penn Central livery. The PC had a few of these locos and gathered them into the Chicago area to work passenger yards. They were scrapped soon after PC's tenure began.
This means they don't quite fit my plans to model early Conrail on the East Coast, so I'm going to stretch the facts, at least a little. I'm going to put my FM loco into passenger service right up until late 1976.
A few more details are left on the loco build, but it is far enough along that I think I can show it off.
P.S. Some folks may disagree that the H16-44 is the true "Baby Train Master." To them I say, "Oh well."

the rain gives the city a new skin. a dark, glossy surface that mirrors the world. a man walks, his umbrella a black shield against the grey sky. but on the ground, his double walks with him, a shadow-self in the watery underworld. he is a fleeting figure, moving through two worlds at once. the real one, and the one made of water and light. both are equally true, and equally temporary.
Not much autumn colour left, most of it's now on the ground... so I better get round to uploading before the season's over!
A combination of things has meant very little time to keep activity going on here... still been taking lots of shots, just no time to upload :-(
Please hit "L" for the larger on black thang.

she carries the light on her shoulders. or perhaps it is the light that carries her. we see the basket, the steps, the sun. we see the shadow, long and thin, stretching back into the darkness from which she came. in the end, it is all just movement. a brief moment, caught between the pavement and the sky. a simple walk. a life.

Two outdoor table tennis tables occupy a sun-bleached park, their cobalt surfaces geometrically exact against the parched earth. Shot from table height, the near surface becomes a receding plane of pure colour, the net a dividing line between here and there.
A second table holds its position in the middle distance, as if waiting for an opponent who has thought better of it. Empty benches complete the scene. The geometry is precise; the silence, absolute.
Lines, shape, perspective — and nobody serving.
