You folks will just have to put up with me for a while as I play with my new software and see what I can do with it. I know lots of people dislike the post-processing phase, but I enjoy it and consider it part of my art. I'm no 'purist' when it comes to photography. Little or no photo manipulation doesn't impress me since phtotgraphy has always involved artistic decisions (from film type to ISO levels to dodging and burning, etc.) that affect the final outcome.

In an ever growing rare sight on Pacific National Locomotives, the dark blue sight of the old Freightcorp is decreasing with more units receiving with the modern blue and yellow PN scheme. Double the luck was given to us on 5234 grain with 8141, 8138 and 8123, as they coast downgrade.
Mediterranean Rainbow Wrasse (Coris julis) Primary Phase is a small, colourful fish in the family Labridae. It can be found in the Mediterranean Sea and in the northeast Atlantic Ocean from Sweden to Senegal (though it is a rare wanderer to the southern British Isles).
Like many wrasses, the Mediterranean Rainbow Wrasse is a sequential hermaphrodite: all start in the smaller initial phase. These initial-phase individuals (both females and males) can turn into the larger secondary-phase males. At a length of about 18 cm (7.1 in), all individuals are secondary-phase males. The maximum length for the species is 25 cm (9.8 in).
There is a marked difference in the appearance of the two phases. In the Mediterranean Sea, the secondary-phase male is green, blue, or brown, with white belly, a dark blue spot over the ventral fin, and a bright orange band on the side, while the smaller primary-phase females and males are brown with yellowish sides and white bellies.[5] Populations in the Atlantic differ in colour and genetics from the Mediterranean population, but are maintained in a single species at present.

My phase II clone army is complete! With the final parts that I needed arriving in the mail yesterday, I have finally finished converting my clone army to phase II armor. They aren't super special or anything, but for stop-motions, they'll do.
Divided reverse. No correspondence.
One of seven trench scenes sent by Vizefeldwebel der Reserve & Offiziersstellvertreter Julius Hirt to family members in Nürnberg.
The 5. Bayerische Reserve-Division fought in the opening phases of the war in the Battle of the Frontiers. It then participated in the Race to the Sea, including the Battle of Arras in October 1914. It remained in the trenches in Flanders until 1916, when it entered the Battle of the Somme in August 1916. It remained in the Somme and Aisne area until January 1917, when it went into 1st Army reserve to rest and refit.
After returning to the line, it saw action in the Second Battle of the Aisne, also called the Third Battle of Champagne (and by the Germans, the Double Battle on the Aisne and in the Champagne). Later in 1917, it participated in the Battle of Passchendaele. In 1918, the division fought in the German Spring Offensive. The division ended the war fighting against the American Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Allied intelligence rated the division as a good second class division.

Like I mentioned in yesterday's post I had a shoot with with a model lined up for today. Here's an image from the shoot.
The model is Nick Merritt who was a real trooper as what you can't see is that by the time we got to this shot we'd both been standing in the rain shooting for 2 FRAKING HOURS!
I was soaked, Nick was soaked, the phaser was soaked and the camera is STILL leaking water 6 hours later. Had tons of fun and Nick was the consummate professional! It's not easy looking this good in a downpour. I do it all the time so I have pity for those just starting out, don't you know ;-)

Four of the towers that are part of the South Waterfront redevelopment project, under construction just south of downtown Portland, Oregon.
The area is being redeveloped on what was old industrial acreage.
If fully brought to planned completion, there will be about 25 new towers (residential, medical, commercial) built along this southwest bank of the Willamette River. Portland's newly expanded cable car system provides direct pubic transportation to the downtown city blocks...and the OHSU Arial Tram links the area to Portland's largest high tech medical facility at the top of the West Hills.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue tours Mastronardi Produce, Coldwater, MI, on April 3, 2018. Founded by Umberto Mastronardi more than 60 years ago, the fourth generation of the Mastronardi family owns and manages a year-round operation of greenhouses that produce tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. Vine-ripened produce is harvested by hand when possible. The greenhouses use modern technology and sustainable growing practices to reduce the impact on the environment (i.e. they use one-tenth the water of a conventional grower). Their second phase of greenhouses use diffused glass, energy curtains, grow lights to help in the winter months, automated harvest carts for ergonomic harvesting, recycled water and fertilizer, and a rainwater irrigation system.

Now this is how it started, my dreams all broken-hearted...
So sang Darryl Pandy on Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk's seminal Chicago house hit 'Love can't turn around'. What has that got to do with today's WIP I hear you ask. Nothing. Not a thing. Just wanted to give you an earworm.
This is just phase 1 of the journey for this picture so I thought a work in progress shot was necessary for posterity. We've got a ways to go yet...

Wondering if I should get a lens specific to shooting the moon and sun. I've been mooning and sunning a lot lately.

Understanding The Moon Phases
Have you ever wondered what causes the moon phases?
Diagram Explanation
The illustration may look a little complex at first, but it's easy to explain.
Sunlight is shown coming in from the right. The earth, of course, is at the center of the diagram. The moon is shown at 8 key stages during its rotation around the earth. The dotted line from the earth to the moon represents your line of sight when looking at the moon. To help you visualize how the moon would appear at that point in the cycle, you can look at the larger moon image. The moon phase name is shown alongside the image.
One important thing to notice is that exactly one half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun. However, at certain times we see both the sunlit portion and the shadowed portion -- and that creates the various moon phase shapes we are all familiar with. Also note that the shadowed part of the moon is invisible to the naked eye; in the diagram above, it is only shown for clarification purposes.
So the basic explanation is that the lunar phases are created by changing angles (relative positions) of the earth, the moon and the sun, as the moon orbits the earth.
Moon Phases Simplified
It's probably easiest to understand the moon cycle in this order: new moon and full moon, first quarter and third quarter, and the phases in between.
As shown in the above diagram, the new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the earth and sun. The three objects are in approximate alignment (why "approximate" is explained below). The entire illuminated portion of the moon is on the back side of the moon, the half that we cannot see.
At a full moon, the earth, moon, and sun are in approximate alignment, just as the new moon, but the moon is on the opposite side of the earth, so the entire sunlit part of the moon is facing us. The shadowed portion is entirely hidden from view.
The first quarter and third quarter moons (both often called a "half moon"), happen when the moon is at a 90 degree angle with respect to the earth and sun. So we are seeing exactly half of the moon illuminated and half in shadow.
Once you understand those four key moon phases, the phases between should be fairly easy to visualize, as the illuminated portion gradually transitions between them.
An easy way to remember and understand those "between" lunar phase names is by breaking out and defining 4 words: crescent, gibbous, waxing, and waning. The word crescent refers to the phases where the moon is less that half illuminated. The word gibbous refers to phases where the moon is more than half illuminated. Waxing essentially means "growing" or expanding in illumination, and waning means "shrinking" or decreasing in illumination.
Thus you can simply combine the two words to create the phase name, as follows:
After the new moon, the sunlit portion is increasing, but less than half, so it is waxing crescent. After the first quarter, the sunlit portion is still increasing, but now it is more than half, so it is waxing gibbous. After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.
The Moon's Orbit
You may have personally observed that the moon goes through a complete moon phases cycle in about one month. That's true, but it's not exactly one month. The synodic period or lunation is exactly 29.5305882 days. It's the time required for the moon to move to the same position as seen by an observer on earth. If you were to view the moon cycling the earth from outside our solar system (the viewpoint of the stars), the time required is 27.3217 days, roughly two days less. This figure is called the sidereal period or orbital period. Why is the synodic period different from the sidereal period? The short answer is because we see the sunlit moon from a slowly moving position: the earth! During the moon cycle, the earth has moved approximately one month along its year-long orbit around the sun, altering our angle of viewpoint, and thus, the phase. The earth's orbital direction is such that it lengthens the period for earthbound observers.
Although the synodic and sidereal periods are exact numbers, the moon phase can't be precisely calculated by simple division of days because the moon's motion (orbital speed and position) is affected and perturbed by various forces of different strengths. Hence, complex equations are used to determine the exact position and phase of the moon at any given point in time.
Also, looking at the diagram, you may have wondered why, at a new moon, the moon doesn't block the sun, and at a full moon, why the earth doesn't block sunlight from reaching the moon. The reason is because the moon's orbit about the earth is about 5 degrees off from the earth-sun orbital plane.
However, at special times during the year, the earth, moon, and sun do in fact "line up". When the moon blocks the sun or a part of it, it's called a solar eclipse, and it can only happen during the new moon phase. When the earth casts a shadow on the moon, it's called a lunar eclipse, and can only happen during the full moon phase. Roughly 4 to 7 eclipses happen in any given year, but most of them minor or "partial" eclipses. Major lunar or solar eclipses are relatively uncommon.
" Just leave me alone!" , he cried out!
And suddenly, alone he was out in the cold.
Silent claws within the shadows reach out to comfort... but only make us realize how cold and lonely we truly are...
