On my recce for compositions for sunsets, arriving on the first top the Beacon I get caught in a shower. I wander off path to the cairn as the shower passes over and glance over my shoulder, quick a rainbow. Sack off, camera out, change to wide angle, check the settings, try to find a composition, oh and dial in the polariser, nothing to it.
Well, that escalated quickly !
Short stop to see what's happening there, only G-XLEG is missing in CHR.

Does a landscape image tell a story? I have been grappling with this concept lately because I think it can. Or rather, before snapping the shutter, I like to break it down into three steps. First, try to find something that is interesting. Second, think of a story to tell about that item. Third, utilize the elements of composition that best contribute to that narrative. Otherwise, what are you trying to convey?
Or perhaps it is like the Cheshire Cat who says "if you do not know where you are going, any road will get you there". Which is to say, if you continue to work hard, you will eventually succeed. Instead, why not plan the image, in place of "hoping" to find the road that leads to the final destination.
In this image, with the incredible clouds on the horizon, this sage appeared to be hiding in its own brush. Hence, a story or narrative to follow. That told me where to put my tripod, the height needed for the camera, and what lens to use. And finally, the elements needed in the shot.

Quick, handheld panorama shot over parts of Stockholm on a nice late summer's evening. The Old Town to the left. The amusement park (Gröna Lund) to the right.
Drum Candy this quick thinking band member used his drum head to collect some Halloween candy a few years ago. Masters Degree inventiveness, shot in North Carolina.
A sandhill crane graces the skyline on its way back to its nesting site in the marshes which lie just beyond the trees.
As you may be able to tell, I awakened the canoe yesterday and, while a bit nippy, it was good to be out. This event was not without incident. It is quite a steep drop to the water and a chore to hoist the craft up every year, turn it over, and tie it off to a tree. On the other hand, returning it to the water is quite easy as a chute of sorts has formed over the years and, once turned over, the canoe glides smoothly down into the water. All one needs do is keep a firm grip on the rope. Need I say more?
I watched bemused as the rope and the canoe went quickly down the hill and headed merrily toward the middle of the lake. I had simply let the rope slide right out of my hand. I stood there wondering what I could have been thinking, quickly coming up with the obvious answer...nothing relative to what I should have been. More importantly, I had no idea of how I was going to retrieve it with the water temps what they are and strongly discouraging wading.
After a few seconds of again cursing getting old, I realized that the slight wind was pushing it toward a spot at which I might intercept it if I hurried...that definition (like mental acuity) also changing dramatically as yet another consequence of aging. Heading toward the spot through the trees, I was pleased that I only fell once, tripping on something under the leaves, and arrived just in time to catch my escaping canoe before it headed for destinations unknown. Tying it off, I realized how truly lucky I was that the prevailing winds were exactly what they were and returned to the house for a well-deserved and necessary nap prior to this year's maiden voyage.
I'm not looking forward to the bugs, washouts, excessive trackwork or sun kinks, but this sure looks better than the negative degrees fuck this weather we're currently experiencing. WAMX 4187 and friends get after it at Slinger on a clear indication on to the CN Waukesha Subdivision with T004H on a beautiful summer of 2020 morning.
A quick shot of DB Cargo locomotive 90039 at London Kings Cross on the morning of the 7/8/21 prior to leaping onboard for the run to Alnmouth. I waited until the last possible moment for the driver to turn up and switch the headlights on, but his never happened.
Anyway, the charter train departed at 07:15 as booked and ran as 1Z90 throughout with yours truly on-board to Alnmouth.
Most of the sky to the north, south, and east was cloudy..However, as I was driving home, I noticed to the west that the sun came out and the clouds turned red and pink.. You can see the sun at the very back in the middle of the tree silhouettes.
I stood in the middle of the street and had to move quickly as a car was coming my way ! ; )

very little work done in photoshop.
I had just arrived at the car park at Ashness Bridge, Derwentwater, kitted up and got as far as the car park exit when the sun came out shining onto the shelter, so quickly got out my Pentax ME Super I had brought and snapped a photo as well as my digital Sony camera.
I think, after processing, that the digital had a slight edge but as I was out to finish off my film roll I decided on posting it.

この発見を手土産に早々に撮影を切り上げ帰路につきました。
Meanwhile, I found that Swan was wearing a bow tie.
We didn't have the courage to squeeze through the crowds and follow the road along the moat, so we took this discovery as a souvenir and quickly stopped shooting and headed home.

Quick iPhone pict. When I get too busy I have to remind myself thinking about photography is not making images. You have to make stuff, even if it’s quick.
The snow dozer pauses briefly at the Merritt crossing to allow a maintenance employee to climb down from the dozer cab and join a co-worker in the waiting hi-rail truck. A quick briefing is had between crews before the work train will get underway once again and continue plowing eastward while the hi-rail will split, probably driving back across the pass to the west side.

It appears as though someone stopped out on the road and then slogged through the snow to check on an old car in the deteriorating shed. Life habits of our parents often pursue us all our lives. My parents farmed on three locations and sometimes after a long day of work on one of them, my dad would irritate me when we were headed home toward supper and he would say, "let's just stop and take a quick check on the tractor in the other field we left for tomorrow." There weren't as many malevolent country folks back then to worry about but he had a protective sense of ownership and responsibility that he passed on to his children by his example.
PADDY: "Hullo everyone! We can see you, but can you see us?"
SCOUT: *Giggles.*
PADDY: "Scout and I are hiding in the autumn leaves in Fitzroy."
SCOUT: "I think we are excellent at hiding Paddy."
PADDY: "I think you are correct Scout!"
PADDY and SCOUT: *Giggle more.*
SCOUT: "Boo!" *Giggles.* "We surprised you didn't we?"
PADDY: "I think we did Scout."
SCOUT: "I think you are right Paddy! Let's go hide again!"
PADDY and SCOUT: *Giggle more.*
Autumn is now well and truly with us here in Melbourne, and the cooler winds of seasonal change are blowing away the remnants of summer, like it tosses the red, gold and orange leaves that carpet the ground.
The other day was a perfect autumnal day in Melbourne: sunny, but not too bright, warm, but not hot, and perfectly still. Therefore I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions and take some photographs of the wonderful autumn colours in the inner northern Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. Of course I brought Paddy and Scout with me, and of course, they enjoyed the autumn leaves every bit as much as I did, albeit in slightly different ways!
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
The Wood Hyacinths sneaked up on me this year...Was able to get a couple of shots before the storms moved in again...In my back yard...
A couple of days ago I posted a comment saying that I don’t do sports shots and here I go again. Actually I don’t really think of this shot as a sport subject either. It’s an exercise in light and motion that just happens to be a picture of a motor bike.
This was taken at an annual event that is held on the beach front at Kirkcaldy. The local motor cycle club gets to close the beach down and race various styles of bike along the sands. This was my first attempt at a panning shot and to this day it’s been one of my best.
