In the special International Railway Congress issue of the Railway Gazette for 1954 English Electric splashed out with their advertising budget taking a series of full colour pages for adverts looking at the company's lineage and products. English Electric had been formed in December 1918 and brought together a number of companies who had been involved in electrical and mechanical engineering along with wartime munitions work. Of the various concerns it was Dick, Kerr of Preston who had been most involved in transport; primarily tramways but also in railways. The following year EE purchased the Siemens Brothers Dynamo Works Limited at Stafford, works that were to become a major centre of EE activity.
Postwar and the early 1920s saw EE, like many other industrial concerns, struggle financially and in 1928 it was necessary to restructure and recapitalise the company to keep it as a going concern. By 1930 it was announced that much of the capital behind the restructuring came from the American Westinghouse businesses. EE now prospered somewhat to become one of the major UK electrical companies alongside GEC and the AEI group. During WW2 EE became involved in aircraft construction and, by acquiring Napier the aero engine company, the post-war aviation business became an important sector. In 1960 this became part of the new British Aircraft Corporation as the sector raionalised under Government pressure.
In terms of railway work, EE made many traction motors and electrification equipment that were used in 1930s schemes for expansion at London Underground and the Southern Railway. The construction of diesel locomotives began in 1936. In post WW2 years EE acquired both the Vulcan Foundry and Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns Ltd in 1955 to strengthen the business. As can be seen from the adverts much of EE's output had been in the form of exports and the UK railway stock shown dated back, some to pre-EE days. In a way the lack of UK materials shows the slow progress that the newly Nationalised British Railways were making in terms of Modernisation and the undertaking's somewhat slow pace in the replacement of steam with diesel and electric traction. In the years after 1954/55 as BR's Modernisation Plan took hold EE did supply many new items of rolling stock to BR.
This double page spread shows a range of locomotives from 1890 to 1954. These include the City & South London Railway's original locomotives from 1890, the Waterloo and City Railway's original multiple stock units from 1899 and the various Lancastrian electrifications carried out in the years prior to the First World War; these include the Lancashire & Yorkshire's pioneering Liverpool to Southport scheme that is still electrified as well as the long abandoned Bury - Holcombe line that used overhead whilst the rest of the Bury - Manchester line was provided with third-rail. The North Eastern Railway's Newport - Shildon line, with the first 1500v DC overhead that was likely intended to form the basis of the NER's more widespread adoption of electric traction. Amongst the export stock there appears; Japanese National Railway (Imperial Government Railways of Japan), Midi Railway of France, South Indian Railway's Madras suburban stock, Ceylon Government Railways diesel electric multiple units, Egyptian State Railways, the RENFE 3000v DC locomotives and equipment supplied to the Estrada de Ferros Santos a Jundial and the Rede Ferroviaria Do Nordeste Brazil. Of interest are two of the diesel and diesel electric units built for the pre-Nationalisation London Midland & Scottish Railways including the prototype locomotive 10000.

I made another pinhole camera from a Mickey Mouse Milk Crunch Snack tin can. It has three pinholes that can be opened individually, or in combination. For this solargraph I opened all three pinholes allowing each to record images that overlapped with one another.
I left the pinholes open to expose the 4"x5" photographic paper for 14 days, from October 24th through November 7th. During this period there was a lot of vog (volcanic haze) and cloudy weather from nearby Hurricane Neki.
Please go here for more details on my solargraphy experiments.

I used 6 photos to create this image. My daughter Elizabeth is a very shy reserved child and it was kind of amazing that she would play along with this multiple shot. In each pose she pretended to be an exasperated child waiting seemingly forever in line for the waterfountain at John Lester Smith Memorial Park in Jackson, Kentucky.

This is one of a series of images I made with the Bing Image Creator, which is an AI image generator powered by DALL-E 3.
For most of these images I tried to combine multiple elements together into one, rather than creating a scene with multiple separate elements. This pushes the limits of what the AI model can do, and maximizes the amount of human control over the images. For example, I might use the text prompt ‘photo realistic snake plane made out of carbon fiber and gold’.
Here is my take on AI generated images vs. human made art: I think that the quality of AI generated images will NOT dramatically improve, even many years into the future. The ultimate goal of a creative image is to create a certain emotional state in the viewer. - Emotions themselves - are the main tool used to do this. A purely logic driven machine can only create a crude, generalized model of something meant to create a certain emotional state. When someone makes a piece of art, it is always some combination of using logic and emotions to guide the process. Remember that the ultimate goal is to create a certain emotional state in the viewer. Only having access to logic, but not emotions, will always create a very generic looking work. You need to actually be able to feel emotions to fine-tune the work beyond that, since creating emotions is the ultimate goal.
The main difference between an AI model and a human is not the difference in the power of the logic that can be deployed. The difference is that a human can feel emotions, which is key to creating an image (or text) made to create a certain emotional state. The logic that the best AI image generator models currently have seems to already be at the level of what the best human can do (based on some of the results I got, which was quite a shock). The results are still crude and generic compared to what a human can do, because the AI models have no access to emotions, which are the main tool for making and refining a creative work designed to create certain emotional states.
All creative work is built with a combination of logic and emotions (emotions should always be the main tool), and by not having direct access to emotions, a machine can only create crude, generic results. When I make music I always try and use emotions rather than logic to guide the process as much as possible, since creating a certain emotional state in the listener is the ultimate goal. The best AI models have an amazing ability to use logic to mix two different styles of images together since that is a logic driven process. They can’t make those images from scratch, since that is an emotion driven process, since it is all about creating certain emotions in the viewer.
Imagine you were a chef trying to develop a new dish, but you were not allowed to taste the food at any point as you made it. Your ability to determine the correct amount of salt and other seasonings would be very crude and limited. There would always be the possibility of a disaster happening, since you could not add a bit of seasoning at a time and taste it, so you would have to just dump it all in at once. This is the same idea of an AI model that is trying to ultimately create emotional states using sophisticated logic, but without having any access to emotions to guide the process.
The results will always be very generic looking, with the occasional unexpected gruesome image being returned. The power of the logic I have seen in some of the images I have created is quite shocking, but the results are still crude and generic compared to what a human can do, since the AI model is trying to create emotional states without being able to actually feel emotions itself, which is vital to creating emotional states through an image (or text).
The AI models have an amazing ability to combine multiple types of images together into one, but they have no understanding of what the individual elements they are combining together truly are. Again, this is because the individual images are designed to create certain emotional states, and an AI model has no ability to feel emotions, meaning it has no ability to understand them.
Having said all that, there is a good chance that the ability of humans to customize AI generated images will keep going up, and this will allow for this tool to create highly creative works close to what a human could do from scratch after all. I don’t think that the AI models will ever be able to do this by themselves with a simple button push though, as I have made the case for above. Also, I would expect that the number of images that are generated with a button push will keep going up and up.
Now, does making good AI generated images take talent? I say the answer is yes simply because these images are not all equal in quality. To create the best image in a set of 1,000 to 100,000,000 images, and to do so consistently, takes skill. You need to learn something from every single image you create about what the AI model does well and does not do well. You also need creative and artistic skills to come up with really good text prompts, in addition to this. The skills involved in this are similar to the skills involved in coming up with a great line in text, like in books, poems, speeches, scripts, ect. This is like abstract art. I know from experience that randomly applying different colors of paint never yields anything impressive. It takes a lot of talent to make good abstract art. Random combinations of words in text prompts will never create the results that highly targeted ones will, when it comes to AI generated images

Idyllwild, Pine Cove, and Fern Valley are three adjacent communities, of which Idyllwild is the largest, located in the San Jacinto Mountains in Riverside County, California, United States. "Mile-high Idyllwild" is a popular southern California mountain resort about one mile (1.6 km) in altitude. Idyllwild is flanked by two large rocks, Tahquitz Peak (with nearby Lily Rock) and Suicide Rock, which are famous in Southern California rock climbing circles. One of Idyllwild's attractions is that it offers all four seasons, yet in snowy winter is only an hour's drive down to the warm desert on the Pines to Palms Scenic Byway. It offers no lake for speedboats and no downhill skiing; thus the hill has been minimally developed over the years and remains a center for hiking, mountain and rock climbing, and horseback riding. Idyllwild also has a fine cultural scene, which includes a music and arts school formerly affiliated with the University of Southern California and an annual musical festival called Idyllwild Jazz in the Pines every August. The Idyllwild community also generally includes the hamlets of Mountain Center and Garner Valley, though individual residents embrace this association to varying degrees.
Tahquitz Rock looks down upon the slow-moving life in the village of Idyllwild.

A ladybug crawled over the quilt I was displaying at Dean & Friends 5th Annual Show & Sale! I kept taking pictures as she was constantly on the move. With so many photos, I got "Ontario Wanderer" (flickr name)'s to give me technical assistance, so I could have this new quilt!

This is a multiple exposure shot I took for a challenge in the D80 Challenge group. It was my first attempt at this type of photo. It was both interesting and fun to try. One day when I have more time I'll try something a bit more challenging or creative.

The room was illuminated by both window lighting and florescent lighting of ~3500K. I WB'ed for the florescent lighting and the window lighting cast a blue tint on the front of her face. Funny how our eyes don't perceive this but the camera really picks up on it.

Seen stood in the yard at Butterley is British Rail Class 08, 08590 'Red Lion'.
The Class 08 is currently the oldest locomotive and indeed train still in everyday use here in the UK, with the design being based on an earlier LMS 12033 series design from 1945, and the oldest examples entering service as far back as 1953.
The locomotives were built at the BR Works of Crewe, Darlington, Derby, Doncaster and Horwich between 1952 and 1962, and are powered by English Electric 6 cylinder, 4-stroke, 6KT engines, with a tractive effort of 35,000lbf. They are able to haul many times their own weight, and were employed by British Rail on a myriad of operations, from shunting at Freight Yards, to station pilots, to Coaching Stock moves and even operations on small branch lines. In all, 996 examples of this class were built, making it the most numerous locomotive on the BR Network. The loco also spawned a selection of sub-classes, including the larger Class 09, Class 10, Class 11, Class 12, and the Class 13 Slave units.
Since their introduction, though, the nature of rail traffic in Britain has changed considerably. Freight trains are now mostly fixed rakes of wagons, and passenger trains are mostly multiple units, neither requiring the attention of a shunting locomotive. Consequently, a large proportion of the class has been withdrawn from mainline use and stored, scrapped, exported or sold to industrial or heritage railways.
The first locomotive to be withdrawn was D3193 in 1967. Four other machines were withdrawn before TOPS reclassification in 1973. Withdrawals continued in subsequent decades until by the beginning of the 1990's most of the class were no longer in service. At the same time as the withdrawals, many were purchased by heritage railways.
When British Rail was privatised and sold in the 1990s, EWS inherited most of the class. More units were disposed of, being sent to EWS's Component Recovery & Distribution Centre (CRDC) in Wigan for stripping of re-usable components prior to scrapping. Others were stored in case of an increase in traffic.
As of mid-2008, EWS had over 40 class 08 locomotives in operation, with a greater number stored. Freightliner also had about five locomotives in operation, as did locomotive company Wabtec. First Group operated less than five; additionally, some work at industrial sidings – two for Foster Yeoman, one for Mendip Rail, one for Corus, one at ICI Wilton, two for English China Clays, amongst others. A few other businesses in railway-related business operated single examples. In addition, at least 60 have been preserved on a selection of heritage routes, being flexibly and powerful little engines for either operating passenger trains or carrying out their primary shunting function.

This is a multiple exposure of two different photos of the same theme placed ontop of each other. I did this by getting two different negatives and placing them in the carrier together, that way when i exposed them and put them through the different chemicals they came out joined. I think the final effect is clever and i didn't expect it to look as good as it came out.

Govia Thameslink's class 387 Electrostar dual voltage electric multiple unit (EMU) number 387101 comprised of coaches 421101, 422101, 423101 and 424101 with Thameslink branding works 1H66 from Bedford to Beckenham Junction on 23 September 2015. Class 387 EMUs are being temporarily used on this Thameslink route as an interim measure to replace class 319 EMUs that were transferred to Northern Rail. It is said that use of Class 387s will continue until the delayed class 700 EMU contract is delivered at which point the class 387 EMUs will be transferred to First Great Western. 387101 was built by Bombardier Transportation (previously ADtranz) being assembled at Litchurch Lane Works, Derby and entered revenue service on 25 June 2015.
According to HE TSC the full diagram for the two units on this day was;
