The Ferry Building in San Francisco is a historic landmark that once served as a transportation hub but has now morphed into a marketplace full of cafes and restaurants. It sits along the Embarcadero at the foot of Market Street and you will find many of the historic trolley cars making stops in the front. One evening I took the short stroll from my hotel over to this place, in hopes of getting a shot or two. I was happy to find it deserted inside, so of course I got a few shots there, but I was more happy when I wandered outside and located an adjacent pier that offered this wonderful view of the structure. Once I saw those neon lights on top that spell out "Port of San Francisco" I knew I was in photography heaven. I rather like nighttime photography, though I don't often have time to pursue it, so I was pretty fired up to get some architecture, skyline, water, HDR, darkness and all those twinkly lights and reflections in one fell swoop.
This is a 5 exposure HDR shot at f/7.1, with exposures from -2 to +2. The longest exposure went 30 seconds, which feels like an eternity when you are excited about seeing what you came up with. I merged them in Photomatix, then made some adjustments in PSE and Aperture.

One of the best oooold skins (and i mean old ) !So goes to show, that it all depends how you dress it up ...or rather down in this case ! And for the record ...i didn't have to morph the hell out of that either.Shame the creator has just vanished in to thin air !

By 1992, my tastes in railroad photography had morphed from quantity to quality. The Amador Central hit my radar, as it was dependent on the beleaguered timber industry, and its motive power was a pair of 40+ year old Baldwin S-12s. Just 55 miles to the south of AMC's base in Martell, California, the Sierra Railroad had a trio of Baldwin S-12s at its enginehouse in Oakdale. If you had an affinity for photogenic shortlines - especially those with elderly locomotives constructed by minority builders - the Sierra foothills in Central California were the place to be.
These photos were taken the first time I visited the Amador Central Railroad in July 1992. My wife and I had chased the SP 4449 south from Portland the previous weekend, and we were visiting our friend Tom Messer in Fair Oaks. He took me to Martell so we could chase AMC. Unfortunately, the day we chose for a visit was a day that the railroad only switched out the Georgia Pacific mill, and did not run down the hill to the Southern Pacific interchange at Ione. These are the images I recorded on Kodachrome that day.
In this image, AMC 9 is passing the decrepit, abandoned AMC depot. By 1992, I would imagine that any clerical or administrative functions for the railroad were handled by parent Georgia Pacific, either at the local mill or a corporate office.
Review of Google street views indicates that the depot was removed sometime between 2007 and 2015.
033481 (Lanaudiere, QC, Canada) Quand on voit un rayon de soleil ces temps-ci, on prend tout ce qu'on peut tellement c'est rare. Celle-ci prend les teintes du soleil couchant et le ciel se couvre de belles couleurs. Très beau spectacle!
At the end of the day, when the sun is going down and the colored sky is beautiful. A rare moment this winter!
The long running Ralston Type-8 morphed into the 'Tigre' line in 1938, running late, as the promised V8 from Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Cord line failed with that company, and the inline-8 which had similarly been bought it from A-C-D (used in the Auburn), was also no longer in series production from the engine works.
No matter. There was a modest stockpile of inline-8 engines which was gradually depleted in the manufacture of the Rhino model. Meanwhile 1938 brought with it a V8 engine from Cadillac, fitted to a chassis frame of Ralston's own design. The shorter engine allowed a greater allocation of overall length to the passenger area - though truth be told, more of if went to providing greater luggage capacity, and a more cab-forward look to the cars.
The Tigre MkI, still know as the Type-8 Tigre was replaced after WWII, with a MkII design, losing this Type-8 appellation. The new model appeared at the end of 1953, the car based on the new post WWII Cadillac frame, engine and underbody of the 1948-53 Series 60 (in particular the slightly longer 60 Special). The tooling was transferred to Ralston upon completion of the 1953 model year. By this stage the preceding MkI was now 15 years old, though this included the period through the war years.
The adoption of Cadillac underpinnings provided the Ralston Tigre MkII with the calibre of running gear demanded by the marque's premium position, though with a much reduced outlay, particularly compared to their premium US-based builders such as Packard. Key differentiation with the originating Cadillac was the Ralston themed 'X' radiator grille, unique bumper treatment, and completely reprofiled rear fender tops, truncating in a rocket-pod tail lamp cluster, instead of the Cadillac 'fin'. Not elements sat completely at ease with the carryover Cadillac based structure.
An update to the Tigre MkII in 1956 led to the MkII-B. a few of the elements were cleared up in the styling, plus the addition of a number of 'flourishes' that had emerged during the 1952-55 model years. Chief among these were 'tailfins' no longer the preserve of Cadillac, but sprouting taller and wilder each year on all US domestic brands. Compared to the 1954 model, the MkII-B had slightly taller fins, but they were much more prominent in the styling, as they were accentuated by both chrome trim separating them from the fender bulge, and also incorporating one of the zones for the bi-colour and tri-colour themes.
In 1958 the car was upgraded further with the advent of the MkII-C. This model again received changes to the fender, front and rear. At the front, the fender height was increased, making the car look both more modern, and also tying the top ridge into the unmodified doors and sides. The rear fender was modified to include a tapering fin, which then led to a tail lamp treatment which was to evolve further into a 'rocket pod' on subsequent models. The 'X' theme was continued to include a 'X' rocket, mounted centrally in the trunk lid. This could alternatively be swapped out for a conventionally styled horizontal trim, if the Continental spare wheel option was included (though this had also phased out of popularity over a short time period). The new trunk lid also shared the tapering profile of the fins. Although this look less modern compared to the newly squared up trunk lids from GM and Ford's divisions, it suited the 'classic' lines of the Ralston Tigre model, leading many to state that the MkII-C was perhaps the most conservatively handsome of mid-century Ralston models, particularly on the SWB closed models.
Additional styling changes included a modest reinterpretation of the grille, including the addition of 'Dagmars' at its extremities, and a new front bumper including marker lights.
The 1954 car launched with the same tune 331 CID (5.4 litre) V8, producing 230 bhp (175 kW), for 1956 this was raised to 285 bhp (213 kW) with an increase in capacity to 365 CID (6.0 litres). The 1958 MkII-C retained the 365 CID V8, but power increased to 310 bhp (230 kW).
Shown here is the 1958 MkII-C Convertible in two-colour treatment Dark Red, and Rose Beige.
