Operator 9 is on the line.
Two Bowens Esprit 500 W/S monolights--PC sync to the key light with the fill slave automatically triggered upon fire. On the left of the phone, at about an 8 o'clock angle, I shot through a white umbrella which was about the same level as the subject. The second (fill) light was higher up and maybe 6 feet away at a 5 o'clock angle, shooting into an umbrella facing a wall. The fill bounce off the wall diffused it pretty well overall and allowed me to bring out the gross, vintage-looking, olive-green background a bit more. I still have no idea what I'm doing, but I like the results of this experiment.

The real question was what kind of a macro can I shoot to capture the true essence of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma or even Echoes. I was thinking something with a standing wave but maybe a project for a later date.
I didn't think the PF thing was going to pan out and my attention soon turned to a little old phone I have. It's a nice old phone, it keeps the old piano company, they share dust. So, making it's debut as an image for Macro Mondays, Lockdown Song, Operator and accompanied by a Jim Croce song of the same name. You just can't go wrong with Jim Croce songs.

This is what happens when someone pushes the wrong button on an industrial oven to racks of plastic trays full of meat products. Instead of steam cooking the product, the operator selected roasting....at much higher temperature

I finally figured out what bothered me about the operators I've made in the past. No camo on helmets or vests. It just didn't flow without it. So I painted some helmets and vests, and here we are, something I can finally be satisfied with
Candid environmental portrait of a cold, and probably bored, operator of one of the rides at the Salthill, Galway amusement park.
A quick fig, I really like how it came out, expect some Star Wars and Modern/Futuristic figs and maybe scenes?......
Tell me what y'all think!

In mid May I attended a workshop at Valle Verzasca in Switzerland. A weekend for photographing rocks and water.
Expect not much else for the next few days.
Cedar Waxwing, Bombycilla cedrorum. Lifer for me, during a Texas Master Naturalist Bird Hike. Really too small/distant for a good image, and probably the focus (if any) was elsewhere. Call it “painterly”. If I ever get a good shot, I’ll post that.
😃 Happy Sliders Sunday!
Bit of a foggy start to the day in London this morning. This shot was taken at 6.30 looking towards HMS Belfast, with Tower Bridge in the distance.
Having experimented for a few weeks with a neutral density setting on my phone, to try and make water look smooth, the Thames actually looked very smooth on this very still morning with just a 1/3 second exposure.

"Dream Operator" by The Talking Heads
Hard to forget
It's hard to go on
When you fall asleep
You're out on your own
Let go of your life
Grab on to my hand
Here in the clouds
And we'll understand
These days the DMV Cargo Vectrons are running a pair of empty tanker trains to the Lukoil oil refinery near Burgas. While they are considerably shorter than what we've been used to see from the new operator so far, the sight is still eye-catching.
Figher 1 or Vectron 80 961 is seen stopped at Makotsevo station on its way to the Black Sea.
P.S. Sometimes bad weather is the best kind there is.
In 2016 Czech operator LEO Express ordered net EMU's. The interior of their FLIRT units were in dire need of a renovation and the operator was planning the expand operations to new services, stretching their excisting fleet even more. Eventually the acceptance tests of these new CRRC Sirius units took slightly longer (officially due to the covid-crisis) and by that time LEO Express was bought by Renfe. Renfe cancelled the order and the CRRC Sirius units were left without owner. In 2024 the other large private operator in Czechia, RegioJet, acquired the units. Gradually the units were put into service on the Ústí nad Labem - Kolín route. Since the summer of 2025 all 3 units were active.
As a passenger I got to say the units are okay-ish. Somehow they remind me of the danish IC4 units. They looked great as well, but on the inside you could see signs of a different quality. I've been a couple of times on unit 665 001 and I wasn't all they impressed with the quality of the ride and with the sturdiness of some interor parts. However from the outside I'd say they look amazing. The RegioJet livery onto LEO Express' dark colours really fit well. Even better then their normal bright yellow trains. During the summer of 2025 I managed to get unit 665 001 on photo as it made its way to Ústí nad Labem. The city has already been reached, but due to turning around in one of the stations, it would take another 15 minutes until it would reach it final destination.
