The crew of Mackay Sugar locos Cedars and Dulverton shunt together a loaded rake.

A key part of the trip was having an evening at Giant's Causeway to explore without the crowds. Still it took a while before no one was climbing to the top of this section for a clear picture.

The Sage Gateshead is one of my favourite buildings and I’m grateful to have so many opportunities to shoot it.
For a while now I’ve been trying to capture interesting angles of selected parts of the building rather than just shooting it in its’ entirety and surrounding setting. We all know about the beautiful curves of the building but it also has some nice sharp angles which work in great contrast to the curves.
Yesterday was really bright with some pretty quick moving clouds so for the vast majority of the shots I used the Lee Big Stopper so I could leave the shutter open for much longer and capture some cloud movement. I actually also used a 0.9 neutral density hard grad filter across the entire scene just to give me even more length on the shutter speed.
It’s really good to get up close because you get to see how the building is ageing and you can see some great detail.

I took a few shots here , well loads really lol , i always find it hard using filters here , as you need a dark one to keep that always bright sky from blowing whilst trying to keep some details in the fore with out darkening the cross and light house too much . this shot was from exposed for the sky , then the fore recovered in Adobe raw , but i think its a bit noisy in the dark areas due to that when viewed big .
i layered another lighter exposure over the worse areas but still not great . its ok small tho lol :)
Might have another go of it with the different exposures i took .
Hdr doesn't really work either on this one , but ive spent a few hours editing this one so thought i may as well post it :)

There is something interesting about the these points around this perch-- the cactus, the beak and the sails.
Light and steel fade into the distance across the James River at sunset near Brown's Island, Richmond, VA.
The bridges in the distance are the ruins of old railroad bridges, and the bridge that the population of Richmond crossed over fleeing the Evacuation Fire of 1865.

Still weeding through fall color photos I shot earlier in the season. This isn't a particular wonderful shot, but I did like the points of light in the background.
Not sure if you've had enough of these kites, but the light was so good the day I went to Nant yr Arian I can't help posting another one! There were nearly always two or more birds coming down for meat on the water which made for untidy pictures, but in this instance I thought it worked in the composition as well as showing the behaviour.
I read a review of the 7D MkII the other day, written by Andy Rouse, and in it I learnt something useful that I hadn't known before and which applies to all Canon (and maybe other) cameras. I'll mention it here in case its useful to anyone: The default Picture Style is Standard, and I've always left it on that with all the cameras I've had, but he points out that this style sharpens the whole picture slightly even when you're shooting raw. If you choose the Faithful Picture Style it won't do that. Its useful because you will probably want to selectively sharpen your images rather than sharpen across the board, so you can leave the background nice and smooth…. I've immediately changed my settings, but I haven't taken any pictures yet, since changing it!!
Because there is some doubt about what I've said above about Picture Styles, this is the quote from the Andy Rouse article:
"Now a little about the processing. It was shot with a "Faithful" picture style which applies 0 sharpening. This is a really really important point and you need to understand its significance. If you set the style as " Standard" then sharpening is applied to the whole image. If you leave this untouched then the RAW converter, Canon's DPP in this case, will sharpen the RAW during processing to the same degree and you will get a TIFF that has been sharpened across the whole image. This means all the noisy bits have been sharpened too!!! Myself, and many pros like me, never ever ever do this. We sharpen only the bits of the image that need sharpening, i.e. the deer here. This means that I switch off all sharpening, by using "Faithful" and ensure that the RAW converter does the same at processing time. Then, when I am finished my colour correction in Photoshop I sharpen only the deer using Nik Sharpen on a layer. That way I avoid any background noise being sharpened. I have done this with every single camera I have ever used and I have applied it here to the 7D2 as well."
An older photo that I never got around to posting.
A tiny Coneflower just emerging out of its bud stage.
There seems to be lots of tension in this little photo. Is it because it is facing left rather than right?
Maybe the serrated leaf parts are pushing the eye backwards, or are bright petals creating a wall, blocking our way into the center?
Maybe it is the combination of all three.

-> If you want to use my photo, write me an email. And then we clarify the usage rights and whether I would like at all that you use my photo / my photos.
-> If I find photos in, for example, Youtube, I try to get in contact with you first, if this should be unsuccessful, then I must report you.
And Youtube could delete your Youtube channel. Do you want it?
-> I find it sad, if one does not ask before, whether one may use it.
And it is not enough to give my name. See points one and two.
-> It is nice, that you like my photo so much, but you used it in bad quality. That does not give me much.
So think about what you're doing. Did not injure my rights.
Just ask me. Something worse than a NO can not come.
