We ended up camping at Sun Lakes due to the burn ban at Steamboat Rock but spent a day over there anyway because it is such a beautiful place. As we were leaving I was watching the cloud/light play on the rock and my knowing wife and friends dug out their chairs and sat in the parking lot and waited patiently while I set up my tripod. We must have looked pretty funny sitting in a parking lot surrounded by lush areas of green. Anyway, one beer and many Doritos later the clouds and the light bent to my will and I got the shot that I wanted. If you want to see what we looked like go to my fb page (Rich Border) :-)

Hanging out at the famous Harpers Ferry station, I snagged this pic inside the shelter where you can cross from one side to the other. There is a walkway beneath the tracks here, but also a window looking out. An intermodal made a blur in this handheld shot.

Another shot from a trip to The Pinnacles desert in Nambung National Park, Western Australia in late October 2024. This one features the Milky Way core hanging over a bright shining Venus and the Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan–ATLAS, which is hiding in the gap between two of the limestone pillars.

Derenk, an old, dead village in Hungary.
Nobody living here yet, because in 1943, all of villagers had to move here to another places. It is a very sad story in Hungarian history. If you want to read more of Derenk, you can visit the www.derenk.hu
I took this from a bridge as the gondolier moved under me. The hat sits in the centre and holds the frame. The canal is quiet and the water moves in soft lines around the boat. It is a small moment that shows the pace of the city and how calm it can feel when someone passes below.

There is much talk about sensor size and only the full frame and larger are true quality. Well I’ve been daft over the years and used everything from 1930,s reporters camera with a wire viewfinder to small pocket cameras. The main problem with large cameras is exactly that large and heavy with appropriately large lenses. I have two cameras that stick out for me the first being a Canon Canonet QL19 a film camera with a fixed lens of 45mm. A complete rip-off of the Leica rangefinder camera of the time. Made in 1964 and was superseded by the small Canon Canonet 40mm lens model which became very famous. The other camera is the Nikon Df and beautiful, beautiful DSLR which I found to heavy but I regret the day I sold it. Which now comes to the point of these comments and I now have a new hero being the Panasonic G9. Like many of my cameras it takes time for me to enjoy them, this being a good example. It does have a small sensor but the Panasonic Leica designed lenses are so good and the stability of the camera is amazing. I find it inspirational to use and I feel I will settle on this for a long time. This picture is a good example of why I like it, because the wide dynamic range allows the detail of the bus to be seen and the passing lorry. I’ll stop banging on now.
One final note by way of example. I owned the much sought after Fuji X100f which I purchased new for £700. Everything about this camera on paper was good, really good and as much as I tried I never loved it. It may be the 23mm fixed lens (35mm in full frame) was not right for me I just don’t know. It’s a great camera and it sells for over £1000 secondhand now but I much prefer the XT30 with interchangeable lenses then the 23mm fixed lenses. Daft I know. I really am going to shut up now.
Big sexy pointy things to look at? Heck yes! 😍
Get your mind out of the gutter, you perv. I’m talking about the mountains of the Northern Rockies, like this stupid picture of a moose hanging out in a lake on the eastern front of the mountains. I’m taking out a few folks to point cameras at these mountains (not boobs) this year. You can learn more about that, see more of these stupid groups of pixels I make, and learn how I edit them (or ruin, depending on your preference) at www.ryandyar.com If you sign up for my annoying email list there, then you can watch a bunch of quick free tutorials I have. It might be worth signing up just to laugh at my annoying voice on video.
Canadian National's new Grand Trunk heritage unit leads one heck of a power lashup on westbound CN train M337. Here it is seen passing the local elevator's Ex-CN&W switching motor, in Seward, IL. CN&W 4120 is a GP7 and was built for the Rock Island in 1951 as a high hood. It was RI 1221 later acquired by CN&W.
Having descended the grade from through the Berkshire Hills rising in the background, Amtrak train 449, the Boston Section of the Lakeshore Limited to Chicago, hustles westbound on Main 2 at MP 147 on modern day CSXT's Berkshire Subdivision, the one time Boston and Albany Railroad mainline, in this view from the Woodlawn Avenue overpass. Holding on Main 1 is CSXT Selkirk to West Springfield train M424 which is setting off interchange traffic for the Housatonic Railroad and then will wait to swap crews with westbound counterpart M425.
Looming beyond is the the last remaining building from the once massive former GE plastics plant. General Electric was once the dominant industry in town dating all the way back to 1903 when when it purchased the Stanley Electric Manufacturing Co., which had been established in Pittsfield in 1890. In addition to its plastics division, GE manufactured transformers in town and operated an aerospace division. At its peak during the 1940s, the GE plant employed 13,000 people - in a city of just about 50,000!
The transformer division shut down by 1987 and took 2000 jobs with it, followed by the sale of aerospace to Lockheed Martin leaving only about 500 employees working for the plastics division. That last operation was closed and the remains sold off in 2005 and since that time many of the buildings on the 324 acre site have been removed, and for the past two decades GE has been working to clean and remediate the area from decades of PCB contamination. In fact I thought this scene looked different from the last time I photographed off this bridge and turns out I was right: flic.kr/p/2nqsYeE
In addition to being a major employer it was once a huge rail customer though today what little trackage remains on the property is rusty and unused and there is so little rail served industry left that CSXT has long since abolished their last local freight crew in town.

Anton Parsons Passing Time sculpture
Passing Time is by Auckland-based sculptor Anton Parsons, a graduate of the University of Canterbury’s School of Fine Arts. The work consists of a twisting ribbon of randomly linked boxes - with each box depicting one of the years between 1906 (founding of CPIT) and 2010 (the date of the sculpture’s installation). The work can be walked around, walked through, touched and sat on.
“The winding form of the sculpture – placed on a street within the original 1851 grid plan commissioned by the Canterbury Association for their new settlement – is also a nod to the winding Avon River, an irregular feature of the landscape over which a street grid was placed,” says Anton Parsons.
Moss growing on rocks in the middle of a raging waterfall. Kind of ironic. Moss only growing on still objects. The waterfall is anything but still. I thought that this scene was very peaceful. with the sun beating down on the little island of mossy rocks. It is hard not to feel relaxed
Caught this shooting star over the amazing Toronto skyline the other day when I was shooting a timelapse. Very excited when I saw this photo, it's such a rare scene to see a shooting star fly over one of the brightest city centers on the planet.
