The Moon over Melvich Bay. The moment I saw the moon, the opening lyrics of the song Driving Sister by Mott The Hoople started running around my head. If you don’t know who they are, do yourself a favour and search them out.
note to self: a bee does not take photographic/cinematic direction and will not cease moving just because you want to take a close-up shot of him. took a dozen shots and these two are about the best, although not the level of detail that i was seeing.
A choice between the Clermont at Charing Cross and McDonalds. :-)
[Editing notes on how I added a bit more glow: based on an Olivio Sarikas Youtube video:
Select the highlights (using either a specific channel, or select > tonal range > highlights)
Make the highlights their own layer (I use Ctrl+J whilst highlights are selected)
Blend the highlights layer back using screen or colour dodge [my preference]
Add Gaussian blur to the highlights layer (it can take fairly significant amounts)
Olivio adds extra steps, including curve adjustments to add tones to the shadows/ highlights and fill layers to add colour tones but the latter didn't fit with the effect I was intending.
NB: i also 'accidentally' re-cropped after creating the highlights layer, with the effect that the highlights layer was marginally misaligned from the original. But I quite liked this, and wondered if marginally shifting / resizing the highlights layer had the effect of making the glow more 'expansive'.
Finally, I used 'merge visible' on all layers then took this into CEfex to add some Glamour Glow. I mainly base my glamour glow on the 'stronger glow' preset, which is at 50%. I'd normally take it down to 25%, but for this left at 50%.
AffinityRevolution also has a really good youtube video showing how to add glow to specific areas, which uses a black rasterised layer with the colour dodge blend. you can then paint on the glow where you want it, but note it only needs a very low brush paint opacity at around 10%.]
For entirely non-train reasons I found myself at Cherrywood West on the first day of 2025. Turned on the scanner just in time to hear H19 call the approach to Cherrywood. It was a pleasant surprise - though not entirely unexpected - to see a pair of veteran SD60's come around the bend a few moments later. Some last minute adjustments to my camera settings (mostly) saved the day as the sun kept peeking in and out from behind the clouds.
I hope you all had a good start into 2024 - may it be a more peaceful one.

is now officially a crime. I dare you guys to do it to this pic. :P

Vacation in the East Coast of Malaysia. Perfect place to catch a sunrise. The place I was staying has an endless stretch of beach, without a single rock. It was a bit dull and oh boy am I lucky to find this boat.
If you're wondering about the long exposure when the sun was up, well I was using a Hoya ND400 filter - worth every 9 stops :D
Note: I'm sleepy. Just reached home and I'll probably end up in the east coast again next week :D Will catch up with your stream once I've got my beauty sleep and rest hehe
Tech Specs: 9 exposures tone mapped HDR using Hoya ND400, so yeah this is one very long sequence of exposure bracketing. Layer masking with one single exposure in CS3. Vignetting was intentionally increased in CS3.

Late July 2023...
This month of storms was just down right jaw dropping. Why not continue since we didn't have any storms in May or June! Overtime for July is the way I like it!
90% of the time of year in South Central Nebraska is Hot & Humid. It is normally the beginning of our dry season. But not in 2023.
In the path of the Jet Stream that day that forced some severe thunderstorm development over south central Nebraska. We were not excepting anything super severe but a tornado or 2 is always possible this time of year.
Gear Primed & excited about the views I'm going to get for this event that day. I knew they were going to be photogenic.

It's finals week.
Which pretty much means I'll be gone for a week. Thought I should share...wish me luck!
Some info:
Shot with an SB-600 off camera, upper right (just to give it a little glow). This is about half of the desk that my girlfriend built for me (she's awesome). None of this was set up (except the flash, of course)--I was putting off working on my finals and thought I should take a picture to share with Flickr.
Have a good week!
{Note} some phrases from Gilson ({ The} Spirit of Medieval Philosophy30) on the Cistercian theology of love: (1) “Born of love, the whole universe is penetrated, moved, vivified from within, by love that circulates through it like life-giving blood through the body” (p. 276); 31 (2) “Human love, in spite of all its ignorance, blindness and even downright error, is always a participation in God’s own love for Himself.… even in the midst of the lowest pleasures, the most abandoned voluptuary is still seeking God” (p. 274); 32
“The question is then not how to acquire the love of God, but rather how to make it fully aware of itself, of its object, and of the way it should bear itself towards its object. In this sense the only difficulty is that of education, or, if you prefer, the re-education of love. The whole effort of Cistercian mysticism is therefore brought to bear on this point.” 33

🎶 It all seemed to make so much sense
But after a while you realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies 🎶

il tuo pensiero come una nota che vibra nell'aria, raggiunge il cuore e sa parlare.
sarai sempre così, cosa potrà mai cambiarlo? nulla!
sì, sempre, l'unico sempre, il grande sempre.
sei la nota speciale e perfetta che ha forza, vibra e sa far vibrare.
tu lo sei, oh lo sei! puro come questa nota, io non lo sarò mai, guarda..... ascolta......
la senti quest'anima impazzita che ama, odia...... brucia...... scalpita e sogna?
che è delusa e che non vuole essere rinchiusa nel recinto degli schemi.
illusa dal suono di un passo che cammina accanto al suo, pulita mentre crede e sogna su un cuore, sporca al risveglio.
tu sai che i sogni svaniscono, io continuo a credere nella loro eterna purezza e sincerità.
non mi guardare ed allunga solo la tua mano, portami ancora sul tuo cuore e fammi riposare, fammi sentire che c'è ancora vita e che ho ancora le forze per ricominciare, per ripartire.
sai, mi sembra di avere un cuore così stanco ma tu dimmi che sono alla fine o regalami la realtà di quest'ultimo sogno che vorrei tanto fosse.
se è no, fammi tornare, ma non farmi più andare.
io per una volta vorrei che mi portassi via quest'illusione prima che porti via me, ora allunga solo la tua mano e fammi riposare, e non pensare.
lo sarai sempre speciale come una nota, delicatamente soffiata, ascoltata, mai dimenticata.
la nota d'inizio e la fine.
speciale tanto da capire, condividere.
fai in modo che sulla tua strada io riesca sempre a ritrovarti,
sei speciale per me, sempre.
