I am posting some art photography from Dave LaTrobe, who is nearly 90 this year. Much of his work include using the techniques of Posterization and Solarization all from analog positives and negatives. Much of this is a lost art in the photographic world.
Photography: Dave LaTrobe
Edit: Dennis Huey
Posting this as it becomes apparent FW TAs might be indeed gone for good now.
Glad I've taken the opportunity to snap this working - note how packed this bus was too!!
I haven't been posting photos as often lately because my family and I are in the process of moving to a new house. We're almost done, but I also feel like I'm almost dead! It's been hard on us all. My dad and I started the day off with a truck full of stuff for the dump that weighed 1284Kg (2824Lbs) Then we went to the old house to load the truck again for the 9th time. I think one more load should do it, but that's been said before!
On the bright side, I'm super excited for the new location. (Seeley's Bay) It's further north, so there's less light pollution, which means better astrophotography. It's also cottage country, so there's tons of good views close by.
I took this photo on my first night at the new house. (this beautiful spot is just a few minutes drive from the new house)
I was amazed at how dark it is here. My ISO was set to 6400 for this shot! (I usually don't go higher than 3200 because of light pollution)
I can't wait to start exploring the new area!
Posting last sketches from Kangaroo Island trip. The Remarkables looking out over the Southern Ocean towards the Antarctic.
I am posting on the run as we headed in Perth so I could get some cold meds at the drug store to see if I can shake this whatever Mike has shared with me.
My friend here was also on the run after getting it's breakfast here before heading to do whatever turkeys do.

I want to thank you for taking the time to visit my little space here on Flickr. I will try to get to catch up over the weekend as I am going to try to rest and get rid of this whatever this illness is.
The idea of posting this picture was given to me by another, more detailed image : www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51461264706
The photographer who took it did some serious research, which you can read under his/her wonderful macro shot.
However to make things simpler, here is what he/she says about the drop hanging under the Blow Fly mouth :
Turns out, researchers only discovered relatively recently why certain flies and other insects like to have a droplet of saliva (because that's what it actually is) hanging out their mouths, and it's for a really interesting and quite practical reason: they use that "spit bubble" to cool themselves.
Interesting, isn't it ? :)
A big thank you to Lacerta Bilineata for satisfying my endless curiosity :))
Posting this one not so much for the technical merit, but because I thought it was hilarious!! This girl landed with a nice morsel in her beak, grabbed it in her talons, and started chowing down...
Hope everyone has a fantastic week! = )

Yesterdays posting was based on soft & subtle as well lethal. I think I can say the same for this one but add pastel into the description. I do love detail but at the same time I love out of focus and I think this does each. The overall of an image is important but at the same time I like to explore the “images” within total image. The graduated soft tones of color and light, sometimes the texture as well shape and line. When I view anyone’s image I like to do this, it tells me what the artist was thinking and why they did what they did for a final presentation. Anything short of seeing it all is not fully enjoying the art.
The only processing I did was lower the vibrance, remove my usual sensor dust spots and sharpen a little, other than that it’s as shot.
I have been posting a few photos from the American Southwest recently, probably due to the fact that I will be visiting there in early March. No trip to Utah is complete without stopping by Monument Valley on the Arizona-Utah border. Located in the northwestern portion of Navajo Nation, it is a place of great landscapes that have appeared in countless westerns and commercials. It has even been featured in a Metallica music video. The official name of the park is Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, which is the equivalent of an American National Park.
There are many rock formations that, over the years, have been given names either by the Navajo or early settlers to the area. Many of the rock formations can be seen from the 17-mile dirt road that visitors to the park can drive for a daily fee. To get off of the road and see some of the lesser-known formations, the hiring of a Navajo guide is necessary. The arch in this photo is one of those off-road formations. I have been told it is known as Keyhole Arch, but have also heard it called Pottery Arch. Regardless of its name, the view through the center of it is pretty cool.
Posting this shot as a tribute to our friend, rail enthusiast and fellow Hoop Anthony McDonald aka @srfcwaffles who sadly passed away 18/04/20 after a short illness. Anthony lived not far from this spot.
A huge Rovers fan, co-founder of the Junior Hoops, rail enthusiast and Scouter, he will be very sadly missed by all those who got to know him. One of the friendliest people I have met, it will always be a regret that I didn't get the chance to know him better.
Posting a load of stuff that i have been messing about with recently. Stuff that has only half-satisfied me, but i need to get over and move-on.
You thought Hell was gonna be all Goth and black? YOU WERE SO WRONG! its classical and organised :D
I'm posting two more pictures on this account just so I can keep them with my mining album.
This was a fan house from the Dorrance Colliery in Wilkes-Barre that they're currently demolishing. You can see the 1883 Guibal fan inside that they're eventually going to take out and send to a museum. It might be the last surviving of its kind? I've never been able to find a picture of a Guibal fan besides this one.
Back to posting real buses, sadly makes you realise how mundane the current bus scene has become.....
VR off the ferry bit of a low angle seems to have worked ok, looks gritty, seems gritty back in the good times, give me days like this any day of the week :-)
Summer is coming to a close, and unfortunately that also means an end to "randomly going out and foaming the Elbow Lake Sub after work" season.

Posting later than usual today, as I was just too tired last night to find and edit three photos to upload. I really don't enjoy having to do it in the morning : )
She's beautiful, even if she is "just" an everyday female Mallard : ) I never get tired of photographing Mallards, or seeing photos taken by other photographers.
This was taken yesterday, 22 October 2015, at a wetland in the SW of the city. Earlier, I had been to collect my car after getting my snow tires put on. I knew that everyone would be wanting to make an appointment for this reason if I left it much longer. From the tire place, I decided to call in at Bebo Grove, Fish Creek Park, on the way home. As sometimes happens, I saw nothing but a little Red Squirrel, but the light was so bad that my few photos all came out blurred.
Feeling a little disappointed, I called in at a wetland area in the SW, where I knew there would at least be a few Mallards to photograph. It was such a beautiful, sunny day, it seemed a shame to be indoors. Sure enough, the Mallards were there, plus a Coot or two, a pair of distant Ring-necked Ducks, a pair of Canada Geese, and a Lesser Scaup. I really do need to practice my skills when it comes to photographing ducks that are swimming fast, as most of my shots came out very blurry!
Ha, I've just checked our weather forecast and I see that it is supposed to snow tomorrow! The morning temperature should be -1C, warming to 7C in the afternoon. I'm definitely not ready for this, even if my car is!
Posting and running as I have Amy and Rose here for the weekend. We are off the Peppa Pig World at Paulton's Park today. Thank goodness the weather is good today. Hysterical in our tiny house at the moment - four cats, two kittens and a three year old!
Happy Furry Friday
Wishing you all a fun packed weekend

I'm late for posting an image to celebrate the Winter Solstice but it's actually more appropriate that I post today, the first day after the shortest day of the year, the first day that the sun is getting stronger and the light longer. Because that's what needs to be emphasised most at this juncture in our lives, the human race has entered a dark time just as the natural world has, and just as in the natural world with the new sun's journey towards distant summer, humanity will find it's way out of the darkness, we just have to keep our own inner fires burning, let our own light shine out into the world by whatever means.
That tree somehow found a roothold upon that vast spoil heap at Dinorwic slate quarry, an environment totally inimical to life...you would think, but life said no, I'm gonna grow! And in the millennia's to come that barren spoil heap will become buried beneath the dynamic, vibrant skin of the living and dead of nature, just has happened so many times before, the cycle never stops, dark then light, light then dark. It's at the transition points, the moments of change, that we learn; about ourselves, about life because that's when we find out what is really of worth in life and in ourselves. There's nothing we can do to stop the changes but we can do the only thing that's of worth at this time, and that is to learn, adapt and grow, to become more than we are so we can carry on experiencing this wonder that is called 'living!'.
So, although the world seems to have turned into one giant, overwhelming spoil heap, take heart, be defiant and live, let your inner tree burst forth...and don't let the bastards grind you down, the fearful and hateful love being fearful and hateful, don't join them, laugh and move on, leave them in the darkness of the past. :-)
Have a cool Yule everyone!
Its October 21, 2015 - I delayed posting this full lit view of the hovering Delorean until its rightful date, today, when Marty and Doc finally arrive !
This custom brick-built version of the iconic Time Machine features accurate proportions, colors, and a fully detailed underside. Only the fig and 2 tiles were taken from the Lego kit. This compact minifig-scale model crams in no fewer than 23 LEDs, two animation controllers, and 16 inches of “glow” wire too !
Be sure to check out the night shots further down my photo stream:
Special thanks to Brickstuff, Lifelites, and Brickarms for their support in making this MOC possible. Now, if only some brick-manufacturer would make a custom Mr Fusion please !
UPDATE: I just saw Brickforge has a new Kickstarter project for BTTF Accessories including a custom Mr. Fusion !!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/1934268007/brick-to-the-futu...
Posting from Changi airport Singapore where our flight is delayed at least 2 hours. Thank goodness I have a 600 page book that discusses the origins of the first world war in great detail. I liked the bit where some South Africans were told they were joining the war and had to ask which side they were to attack. (wasn't long after the Boer war) Hopefully will be back in our country in 14 hours or so....
Sorry for posting more cattle egrets but I have only ever seen one before this year and that was through my bins and a very long way off.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated
No posting for one day and I already feel desperate for taking and finding something nice to share. When I took this shot this morning, it was a so very red Canna in front of my office with the sun shining behind it. Prior to loading this tonight, I was using photoshop to do the usual resize and adjust. I was shocked when I hit auto curve adjust, the red Canna turned into these beautiful colours and I love it. For those who doesn't like PS, please forgive me but I need to post this because it's the only time I will get these beautiful colours out of no intention.
Have a wonderful day...flickr friends !
I'm posting this for all you people digging out from the snow storm covering much of the northern part of the US and Canada.. As a side note, it's currently 73 degrees at 9PM in Central Florida.. Come on down and get warm... This image was taken at the Rose Garden in Winter Park, Fl.

Apologies for posting what must be a very similar image to hundreds of other pics, but looking back through the files, I noticed this sequence that I'd never bothered to process.
But to me, it represents the very essence of Sandaoling - a smattering of snow to lift the normal horribly black track bed, the telegraph wires long done with carrying messages, the Arizona style red rock escarpments, and of course, the JS loco working to it's limit, throwing up a voluminous exhaust plume that only happens when temperatures have sunk to -10C and lower.
It's the reason we keep going back there. And when it's gone, it will be quite difficult finding the inspiration to continue with steam photography.

Posting some old stuff before new new adventures arise.
This wasn't my hotel. We were staying in some shitty hotel along the Malecon with cold water showers and worn out matresses.
I´m posting 25 Swan photos from November last year. I have so many of them and I love them all so it´s hard to select just few but maybe I will post more of them later.
Posting a few extra photos from Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive from yesterday. Still have a bunch of really cool shots to share. There are the ones that didn't quite make the cut as deserving stand alone posts.

Last year, I kept seeing people in our area posting these amazing sunflower pictures. It turns out there's this "secret" sunflower field out near a state park we've visited. By the time we found it last year, it was too late. All that was left were the sunflower seeds. Visiting this field and taking pictures there was on my summer bucket list this year. I wasn't thrilled about the timing when we finally got there today and I might try it again before break is over, but it really is a beautiful sight. Judging by the number of people and photographers we saw there this evening, I'd say that a lot of people are going to have some sunflowers in their family photos this year. It was nice to get out with the girls, drive through the country, enjoy the fresh air, and see the sunflower field for ourselves! I think Rose was impressed, although she's informed me that sharing the back seat with Fable does not make her feel like sunshine!

Posting a few Packard pics from the archive before this building is torn down - this one is from 12 years ago
Title from the brilliant Alice Cooper
...and best viewed large.
Good morning. Sorry for the late posting, but I'm off to a slow start today for some reason. And I thought I'd switch from fins yesterday to fur today. The above Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus) was photographed in an Exbury Azalia bush near the birdbath. Normally this is convenient place for birds to land before using the birdbath so I was quite surprised to spot this Chipmunk perched here. While I often see Chipminks scurrying around the yard, and in spite of them being very adept at climbing, I rarely see one in a tree or bush like this. Not sure if it just wanted a better look at things in general, or of yours truly hunkered down nearby with the big glass eye. Either way, I thought it was worth sharing.
Thank you for visiting...and I hope you have a great Saturday and weekend. And so you'll know, tomorrow (Sunday) is the first carshow of the season so hubbie and I will be spending most of the day getting his car ready, then all day at the show. As a result, I'll not be as active here on flickr this weekend as I normally am.
