This is the big waterfall in Rouken Glen park, captured from my drone. In the background can be seen the pedestrian bridge, and beyond that another waterfall.
Managed a few shots from the car in Burnham Overy Staithe this morning.

The annual trek of the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway's power to Tate can be seen here in the woods south of Blue Ridge. This move is made every year in late January so the engines can have their annual inspections conducted at the GNRR maintenance shop in Tate before returning in time for the start of season in March.
While these moves are typically only done with just the engines, what makes the move south & the return trip north special is that they are only times of the year where the "Ellijay Block," the portion of the Hook & Eye between Blue Ridge & Whitestone, see any traffic. With the demise of the lumber business that traveled by rail that managed to survive into the 2000s, there were no freight customers north of Whitestone left, so the line got demoted to excepted-track, only to be used for power moves. That makes these moves highly sought after & I've been fortunate to now catch it 2 years in a row. 1-25-22
Managed to capture an image of this fast-mover. Seen near the Turtle Pond at the Los Angeles County Arboretum, Arcadia CA.
Managed to borrow a boat to get me here. The little Cumbrae is a small relatively inaccessible island on the west coast of Scotland
I've finally processed some of the pictures I took when I went to the Danish West Coast during an autumn storm.
I managed to get some shots of the waves colliding with the pier.
Just to show you the difference here's a picture of what it looks like on a warm day in July
I managed to escape to the Peak District this week to catch up with an old friend and visit a new location. The idea was to wild camp and take both sunset and sunrise shots, but the weather forecast changed and the sun failed to show up at sunset and with heavy rain predicted through the night and into the next day we decided to call it a night.
A nice view but one for another day when the conditions are better. A nice leg stretch and a good chat in the pub before heading home to a comfy bed.
Managed to get in the revamped Kingfisher hide today for the first time, I arrived at around 11.30 and by 3.00 the resident female visited at least 10 times.
Ok the weather was crap but I still managed to bag a few decent images when the clouds thinned every now and again..
Managed to get out yesterday and shoot some of the autumn colours before they disappear completely . This is Golithia falls near Bodmin one of my favourite spots in Cornwall , a special place that i all ways visit once a year .

I managed to find some color in the sky this morning; this to add extra appeal to the nice rock shapes and water motion here at Burwood Beach, NSW; Australia.
I'm really pleased with a recent purchase of a 6 stop slot-in ND filter by Haida - excellent optics and trueness of color (Schott glass as used in B&W filters) and considerably cheaper than the Lee Little Stopper!
Hope this is liked by you - thanks for any comments, viewings or favorites - greatly appreciated!!!
Have an awesome day and week!!!
"Without remorse, sorrow, or regret
God has preformed another glorious sunset"
~ Michael Edward Peadro
It requires no special place to shoot good pictures. And sunsets don’t recognize any particular region in this planet to expose their exquisiteness. The signatures of beauty are myriad as any one sunset possesses own idiosyncratic mannerism – happens only once – distinctive and unique.
This sunset was captured at my place in Saujana Utama as I was about to reach home that evening. Thought the colors in the sky were extraordinarily gorgeous when I drove past the main boulevard in the area, not too far from the newly-built mosque.
Owing to my habit of pulling over at an unlikely place, I made do with the mucky landing ground on the grass and managed to have it captured before the sun disappeared. And it didn’t bother me much for having to send my car to carwash as all fours were mud-splattered.
Oh yeah, thanks to the neighbors for honking, I take it as a moral support.
The delegations from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be arriving at 2 o' clock on Saturday 17th of October. Lessons will end half an hour early.
Students will return their bags and books to their dormitories and assemble in the clocktower courtyard at 1 o' clock to greet our guests before the Welcoming Feast.

I managed to get the whole train in a single frame with my 85mm. Because of the distortion and perspective, the train looks like a big metal worm.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

I managed to squeeze in a bit of brick therapy during the past few weeks.
This is small cargo shuttle, that I've been building over the last five weeks or so. This ship is intended to be the space equivalent of a box truck, like this. I imagine this particular ship as having a lot of light-years under its belt, used for longer journeys than originally intended, so there's a hammock in the cargo bay. As I explained above, I had a lot of time to think about this creation, even if I didn't have much time to build or blog. I also imagined the that it might not always have been docked in the nicest of space neighborhoods, so I built after I took some photos, I covered it in graffiti.
Managed to capture the milky way at Durdle Door last weekend - this time of the year the galactic core (the orangey bit) is visible! It usually sits below the horizon, its the first time I've ever seen it. The moon had set and there was not a cloud in the sky! You couldn't get better conditions, its been years since I've spent the whole night on the beach - If you never have, I can't recommend it highly enough :)
Managed to get a shot of the famous Austin Blues legend statue at Butler Park. Tried to get the city skyline behind him with the foliage. Used Lightroom to bring up the shadows and add a vignette on this one.
Managed to creep up fairly close to this Brown Hare and take a few shots before it legged it.
It never lifted its ears once until it was running away from me!
I managed this fairly close shot of two Franklin's Gulls by crawling over a sandy, rocky beach for an hour, pushing my tripod ahead of me, two feet at a time. In some situations a painstaking approach is the only thing that will work. This pair watched me the whole time, one of them expressing apparent displeasure at this moment; a moment later, they were both gone.
The lake was teeming with birds in early May. By late May, very few remained. In late October, the place is a staging area for tens of thousands of snow geese, swans, and ducks on their southbound migration.

I managed to squeeze in an afternoon trip to Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park on Midsummer's Day (of 2022) and ended up climbing up along the small creek hoping to get some good shots of the demoiselles fluttering over the water which looked absolutely gorgeous with their metallic wings. It turned out to be quite difficult to capture them though so I began walking (or climbing really) towards home when I spotted a real treat on a rock next to the water!
This is a female copper peacock beetle (Elaphrus cupreus) at just 9 mm (3/8") body length shot at 2:2 magnification. It is also a two-exposure focus-stack. I didn't use any particular stacking software though and just blended the parts together using Photoshop.

I managed to get some new Lion Knights' shields. They did not occur in any set! I took a few knights and I just wanted to take some quick photo of them...

Managed to finally get up to Minsmere in Suffolk and I wasn’t disappointed. I was extremely chuffed to get my first sighting of a Bittern.
Managing an Aussie in the city is... interesting. We have been a frequent resident of Baltimore City over the last year. Time there has taught Lux so much about how to act around crowds and other dogs as he can be very reactive on the leash. This weekend was our last time there for a while and I was so impressed with my boy as we walked the Inner Harbor among a dense crowd of people, dogs, and wild children. Every situation is a training opportunity! This part of the Harbor is an iconic backdrop, so it was a perfect chance for a photo shoot and some nostalgia.
Managing her young birds about five around her on water and grass.
Below another view Cooper Hawk and subsequent young birds….
I managed to not tread on these two lovers as they were canoodling in the grass .. I hate hearing that crunch when you don't always see them until it's too late ! .... :(
I managed to lose the front of my diffuser back in July. I was leaning over the railing on a floating a bridge to shoot a spider and the wind caught it and it fell into the water. It being held together using neodymium magnets is very useful, but obviously I hadn't built it strong enough.
Since there was no one around but my family (this was out in a nature reserve) I decided to strip off and dive for it.
I spent a while there, but my attempts were fruitless so there was not much else to do but go home and build myself a new one.
This is the second test shot taken with version 7 of my diffuser. It had been raining that day and this was in the evening so I had couldn't be too picky with subjects and this acalyptrate fly (Meiosimyza decempunctata) in the neighbour's hedge is perhaps not the most challenging of subjects, but I am please with the results.
Version 7 now have 10 magnets instead of 5 to hold the diffusion sheet so I believe it will be much more weather-safe now.

Managed to capture the Piebald Pigeon in Flight as it took off when a car drove by.

Wizarding Faire is coming soon and this year, my little store will be in it. Much excite! \o/
I'm not sure if the sim is open to the public now. According to the sim's schedule, students are currently on summer holidays. Plus, certain areas are closed for Wizarding Faire setup.
But here's the sim's official page if you want to check out RP details or if the sim is open or not.
The sim is gorgeous!
Banbury, North Oxfordshire manages some great sunsets and small starling murmurations, you can wait ages for one or the other. Occasionally, they (like buses) both arrive together.
Managed to get a few snaps of this beautiful field just before it started raining, Plenty of photographers out snapping this so difficult to get one without someone in the picture. I am surprised how lovely it still looks following the recent storms we have had
Well, I somehow managed to delete this day's photos in their entirety... today I downloaded a program that retrieved them... now it might not have been worth it but....

Finally managed to get out to see this…
Anish Kapoor's 'C-Curve' has been installed on the South Downs, just outside Brighton. The installation is part of this year's Brighton Festival. Anish Kapoor is guest artistic director of Brighton Festival for 2009.
Set the alarm early to get out there for sunrise… Taken at 5.15am (ouch).
If you want to see some seriously creative interpretations of this sculpture, take a look at 'Rob Orchard and The Big Bamboolys light painting' and also 'The Big Bamboolys moonlight shot.'
Back in September Claire & I stayed in Borrowdale by Keswick and had decided on doing the Newlands Round via the side of Catbells. As we set off across the meadow which sides Derwent Water we noticed there was an inversion happening which gave the lake a mystical appearance. As we had a big climed ahead I only had my IR camera with my to keep the weight down so managed to get some shots before we headed on up the side of Catbells and Maiden Moor in hope of managing to see the inversion from up high. In this shot you can just see Skiddaw in the distance poking through the low cloud.
Unfortunately by then the sun had burnt it off but what a day we had! The weather was amazing and the walk was was of the best we've don't to date.

Processing Info...
I opened the RAW file in Adobe Camera Raw and used a profile to retain the cameras custom white balance before making some basic adjustments. I then imported into PS CS6 and used an action to swap the red & blue channels to create the False Colour look. This gives yellow foliage and a dark blue sky. The shot didnt seem to suit false colour so I opted for a mono conversion using Silver Efex Pro 2. I decided on a preset then made some tweaks till I was happy and switched back over to PS. Next I used a few luminosity masks to selectively adjust the various tones in the shot until I reached the end result.
Finally I used Dfine 2 to remove some noise in the cloud.
Managed to capture this Swan as it flew overhead... have to say bright blue sky and white feathers don't make photography easy, especially with limited photoshop knowledge......

Having never managed to see an Arizona and California Railroad train, I've now done it twice in a week.
I've spent more than a few hours at Cadiz, perhaps because it has been one of those places where I've gotten lucky with one thing or another, perhaps because I've waited for the four-axles on the BNSF Cadiz local from Barstow.
But never have I seen the A+C train arrive from Parker AZ.
Tick.
It's a pity I didn't manage it in the days before the corporate Genesee and Wyoming look, I'm sure that elderly four-axles in that delicious green and cream looked absolutely sublime in this very spot.
But no matter.
It was non-stop at Cadiz on the TransCon, I barely had time to write my reference notes and there was another train on the horizon.
This was the cherry on the top. And sprinkles!
Cadiz CA, 13 February 2023.
ARZC 4403 GE C44-9W ex-BNSF 4527
ARZC 4401 GE C44-9W ex-BNSF 4577
ARZC 4400 GE C44-9W ex-BNSF 4534
The locomotives were returned by the BNSF to GE Leasing (GECX) then sold on.
