This shot I had waited on for a few days, then I realized how I would do this, take out the parking lot, take out the side walks, add grassy field, all in front of the steak house in Broken Arrow. a few other touches to get the look I wanted for this bullish photo.
Tucked into the northwest corner of Illinois is the City of Galena, a small town known for its well-preserved 19th-century buildings, shopping, dining, entertainment, and an abundance of historic houses and mansions that are now bed and breakfasts. Galena also was the home of Ulysses S. Grant when he was elected the 18th President of the United States in 1868.
On the corner at 201 S. Main St. is the Schmohl Building, an Italian style two-part commercial block built in 1887. Next to it is another Italianate style commercial building whose name has been lost to history that was built in 1848. Nearly every building in this southerly view of the west side of the 200 block of S. Main St. is a contributing property in the Galena Historic District, which encompasses a remarkable 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The Galena Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, with modifications in 2013.
Galena is the seat of Jo Daviess County. This is the un-glaciated area of northwestern Illinois. The rolling hills, history and abundant 19th century architecture draws visitors from throughout the country. The estimated population of Galena in 2019 was 3,158.

Reuploading this one from 2015 in light of the 25th Anniversary of BNSF.
One year after BNSF's formation, and after several experiments and proposals, Burlington Northern Santa Fe debuted its first official paint scheme, dubbed Heritage I. To my mind at least, it was a perfect stylistic blend of predecessors Santa Fe-- featuring a modification of their famous circle-and-cross logo in addition to the use of Cooper Black, the railroad's standard typeface in its latter years-- and Burlington Northern, (though showing heavy preference for Great Northern!) with forest green and orange coloring. It's hands-down my personal favorite livery ever used by the railroad (and possibly my favorite of any modern-era railroad, for that matter) so I find it quite a shame that it seems to be disappearing so quickly.
Even five years ago, when C44-9W 1068 was tracing the Mississippi River with a Northtown (Minneapolis) bound manifest north of Savanna, Illinois, the disappearing paint scheme warranted some pixels for sure.
In the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales.
That is the actual James Bond Aston Martin DB5 as first seen in Goldfinger in 1965. Probably the most iconic and famous car in the world and likely priceless too. If you google that licence registration BMT216A, it will confirm that it also appeared in Thunderball, Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale, Skyfall, Spectre and No Time to Die. Or you can see the registration here -

And now here it is on the Flickr page of old Magoo - who’d have thunk! A scoop or what? Here it has its latest modification to its front bumper - a guy in.a luminous orange jacket trying to take a photograph.
So how did old Magoo bumbling around with his white stick and who can’t tell a farmers truck from a pedal cycle happen to bump into it in the back of beyond on the Brecon Beacons, how did he know what it was and more importantly, is that the real James Bond behind the wheel?
So there I was on a very quiet mountain road in the middle of nowhere when I hear the throaty roar of a vehicle coming up behind me. The road isn’t wide enough for man and car so I step off to allow it through, but it pulls to a halt alongside.…
“You’re looking very official by the side of the road” Says James Bond. It puzzles me for a second and I realise he must be referring to my luminous coat. (I later realise he must have been looking for the camera crew and thought I was with them).
“Oh the jacket” I say “It’s so I can be seen by cars because I can’t see them” and I hold up my white stick. And then, listening to the sweet purr of the engine I say “That’s a beautiful sounding car you have there, what is it?
“An Aston Martin DB5” Bond says.
“Wow” says I “How old?”
“59 years” replies 007 without hesitation because if anyone would know he would, right? “It’s the James Bond car” he adds.
I wrongly presume he means ‘like the James Bond car’ not the actual car itself and so like an idiot I ask - “How long have you had it?”
“We are actually filming here for a couple of days” says James by way of explanation.
“Are you James Bond then?” I ask with a wry grin.
“Well, sort of “ he replies with a chuckle. I expect he was being covert. I’m stood there close enough to touch the car and am wondering whether or not this is Daniel Craig or the new Bond guy driving - I certainly can’t tell, the car is just a fuzzy haze to me and the driver non existent, when he politely excuses himself and drives off. I’m left wondering whether he was pulling old Magoo’s leg or whether this really was the real Bond car and then feel more than a little disappointed that I didn’t get a photo. Wouldn’t you?? Let’s face it, it’s not the sort of thing you expect is it?
I continue on my deflated way when after about half a mile I pass a group of people by the side of the road. There is absolutely never anyone here and even though I cannot see their equipment I presume it must be the film crew. I wander on thinking they must be waiting for me to walk on through so they can do the take, which means the Licence to Kill and his car must be up ahead somewhere - and sure enough, a couple hundred yards on I catch that sweet throaty purr again.
“Would you mind if I take a photograph of your car Mr Bond, so I can see it on the big screen when I get home?”
“Be my guest” says James. Realising I was probably holding things up and I would have only time for one shot I quickly took it and wandered up to his window and showed him the back of the camera and asked if it looked okay?
“Haha” Laughs the Licence 2 Kill “It’s right in the middle”. Well, that was good enough for me, a crackshot secret agent with such an eye for the ladies and who bumps off global super villains for fun should be able to judge a photo right? And after thanks, I wanders on me way, and when I was clear he must have got the ‘camera - action’ instruction because the pedal hit the metal and it leapt away towards the cameras with a glorious roar.
So was that the real James Bond, or another actor filling in for him? I have absolutely no idea, couldn’t see him at all - but I’ll go this far……it wasn’t Sean Connery or Roger Moore, I would have recognised those voices for sure…….
A big thanks to the photography gods for causing James Bond to stop and talk, because if he hadn’t I would have had no idea there was filming taking place and wouldn’t have got the shot - and a double big thanks to 007 for being sociable and letting me take the photo! If you see a tramp in a bright orange coat cluttering up the movie - that’ll be old Magoo……

This is my review of the BrickArms TD-9 prototype.
The TD-9 Machine Pistol...Wow! Small enough to fit in a Lego briefcase, yet retaining it's lethal look, the TD-9 Machine Pistol prototype is unique in many ways. While the magazine is a bit small in my opinion, that is something that can't be fixed, unless you don't want it to fit in the Lego briefcase. The TD-9 is grippable in most places, and can be modded in quite a few ways (silencers, scopes/red dots, etc.). In my opinion, it doesn't have many uses other than for spy minifigures, but give it a few modifications and BAM, you can use it for a variety of things. I like how it fits into the Lego briefcase, that's very cool, gives it a nice touch. All in all, the TD-9 is a great prototype, though it doesn't have too many uses in its' un-modded state.
Hope you enjoyed the review!
Any questions about it, and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
In early 1989 BN experimented with its Tiger-stripe scheme. One-of-a-kind GP50 3110 exhibits one of the modifications to the scheme. Passing under the NP-era signal bridge at the east end of the siding at Huntley, along the Yellowstone River.

I leave you today with this new 16:9 format photograph of this series, one the most intense sunset in the Albufera of Valencia Natural Park than i have contemplated in all my life. A dream come true.
They were about a few minutes in which the red flooded everything, creating an incredible atmosphere, with red, orange, yellow, pink and blue colors. Just incredible. What do you think about it???
On the technical side, say that I only used te combination of a ND ten stops a neutral gradient three stops filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Thursday. ;)

Just another picture of my serie Delta Dreams B&W. This time a much closer and detailed shot of the boat floating between heaven and earth.
(Just my first serious B&W editing for this series, one of my prefferred shots of my photostream. I think this edit introduce an extra of dramatism and center the attention in the form and light. Do you think the same? I would love to read your opinions.)
On the technical side, say that I only used a neutral gradient three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Friday. :)

Because several family commitments and a lot of work these last few months I could not devote much time to get out and enjoy taking pictures.
This April I begin to share with you my new photographic objectives.
I hope you enjoy it.

Second picture of the series Fishing Time.
"Fishing is a break for the mind, a joy for the spirit, a distraction for sadness, calming to the anxious thoughts, a moderator of passions, a source of satisfaction engendered habits of peace and patience in all who professed and practiced. "

Car recorded at the Concours d'Elegance Geneva, Illinois - 2023
Compared to its predecessor, the exterior of the 1929 Cadillac was little changed. Parking lamps were moved from the cowl to the tops of the fenders—a subtle modification providing a bit sportier look. Significant changes took place under the sheet metal. Most important was a new “clashless” Synchro-Mesh Silent-Shift transmission, negating the need for double-clutching while also enabling much smoother gear selection. New mechanical four-wheel brakes required considerably less pedal pressure than earlier models, and shatterproof Security Plate glass became standard in all windows. The suspension system featured new double-acting Delco shock absorbers, and the finely upholstered fully adjustable seats became standard.

Second picture of the series Hat Stone.
(Yes, believe it or not it is the same place, but from a different point of view towards the East and the great stone to the backlight. As explained in the previous picture, the place is very difficult to control light)
Dawn on the El Sombrerico Beach, several minutes before sunrise.
The name of this amazing beach is due to the huge rock shaped like a magician's hat that juts into the sea.
There are not many photographs of the area, may be because access to this beach is a little difficult, so after driving about 20 minutes fully night by a bad gravel road, you reach this cove by small cliffs headlamp in my head.
For this shot, I was lucky clouds drew lines in the sky and I could compose from that angle.
Moon also appears to the center-right of the frame due to missing several minutes for the sun to make his way out on the horizon.
To reach this picture in one unique Raw, I combined a four steps neutral filter and black card technique.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Tuesday. :)

Twelfth picture of the series Canes & Mud.
(Just the next day of previous photoshoot, I tryed another time for take longer exposures. For this shot I wanted to guide with the light of dawn on the boat in the foreground)
Magical sunrise in this beautiful place that is the Albufera of Valencia.
The image title is because during the photoshoot, surrounded by all this beauty, calm water, boat, reeds, mud, tranquility, flying birds ... every moment reminded me a lot to the great novel "Cañas y Barro" of the great Valencian writer Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, set in rural Valencia (Albufera) of the early twentieth century, the novel observes and portrays the social reality of the time and place with absolute precision.
Would like to thank this picture to my friend Javier Girbés, which helped me a lot with the location and encouraged me to know this magnificent spot.
On the technical side, say that I only used a neutral gradient three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Thursday. :)

Made a few modifications ( yes, one of them was a big fat gun) and took a better picture. I'm rather pleased with how it all turned out, there's a lot more I could add to it than previously thought. Currently building a MOC for it, And it's going to be awesome! Should be done within this week. Enjoy!

On a rainy evening, the "Popradské Pleso" lake in the Tatras mountains, Slovakia.
This shot was taken with a mobile phone, as my camera broke down at the very beginning of this trip. I locked the ISO setting of the phone to 100 ISO to try to get as much as possible out of the camera phone, and then resorted to post-processing to try to get a quality image.
For post-processing, I used darktable. I used non-local means denoising, and adjusted the tone curves to have a strong highlight in the center of the image. I use both the equalizer filter (in clarity mode) and the local contrast filter, with masks selecting the center of the image, to increase the contrast gradually toward the center. My goal was to make more visible the different layers of mountains.
Then, I worked a lot on the lower part of the image, the lake, to enhance the highlights in the reflection. For this, I started with a strong modification of the tone curves. However, this created a lot of noise as the sensor of the phone is not too good in the shadows. To fight this noise, applied a set of filters only on the lower part of the image: I used a stronger non-local means that I combined with a wavelet-based denoising (using the "profiled" denoising filter of darktables) as these have different types of artifacts. To cancel out the artifacts, I added to these a low-pass filter that smooths out the image. On top of this, I added artificial grain, to restore the grain of the image destroyed while smoothing.
Finally, I worked a bit on the clouds. I wanted to crop the top of the image, in order to focus more on the horizon line, but I was interested in the shapes of the cloud. So I used a liquify filter to warp these clouds down. Last, in a minor and classic trick, I created a vignetting-like effect by making the top and left clouds darker with a tone-curve filter.
