Lucky catch: The world record locomotive Siemens ES64U4 (EuroSprinter U4) of ÖBB pushes a RailJet train into Munich Central Station.

This particular locomotive holds the world speed record for electric locomotives, at 357 km/h. The record was set on the high-speed track from Nürnberg to Ingolstadt on Sept. 2nd, 2006, while the loco was still owned by Siemens and carried the number 1216 050.

In May 2008 the ÖBB received the loco, since June 23rd 2008 she runs as 1216 025 for ÖBB.

Was nice to see these Black-faced Ibis. This subspecies called the Andean Ibis is endangered in Ecuador. I ended up seeing 20 birds which is almost 50% of the entire Ecuadorian population. Antisana was one of the nicest places I went to in Ecuador. I loved the high elevation paramo birds and countryside and the stunning Antisana Volcano.

Another attempt to get a decent shot of the Ruff at Catcott lows today, but again distance and light were against me. :@[

RIP, Don White, 11/26/21.

My uncle Don passed away this morning. He was the original record collector in our family, starting back in the 78 rpm era. He had the largest collection of music of anyone that I have personally known. This was just a small portion of his collection that he was able to take with him when he had to move into a retirement home. Keep that vinyl spinning...

We put an electric heater and a water bowl on our patio. I keep warm water in the bowl and the birds are sure enjoying it. Not a very good picture through the class and a screen.

Our area is not prepared for the weather we are having.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines.

Das Record Rapid ist eines der Papiere, die keinen, oder nur wenig Verzögerer im Lithentwickler benötigen. Easy Lith FT Special enthält jedoch eine größere Menge Kaliumbromid. Dennoch kann dieser Entwickler verwendet werden, das Papier benötigt dann jedoch eine erheblich längere Belichtungszeit. Unabhängig von der Entwicklerabstimmung liegt der Snatch-Point normalerweise bei etwa 10 Minuten. Auch bei einer längeren Belichtungszeit kommen dann die Lichter nicht wesentlich farbiger, es sei denn, es wird ein zweiter Entwickler für die Lichter eingesetzt. Nach der üblichen langen Entwicklungszeit im Lith, bringt der zweite Entwickler allerdings nur wenig Effekt, weil die Lichter schon ausentwickelt sind. Soll ein anderer Ton für die Lichter erzeugt werden, muß die Entwicklungszeit im Lith verkürzt werden, damit der zweite Entwickler noch ausreichend unentwickeltes Silbersalz vorfindet. Allerdings würde dann das, für dieses Papier übliche tiefe Schwarz fehlen. Deshalb braucht es eine kurze Behandlung mit einem Nachbrenner (mit B oder Omega) nach dem Lith. Sobald sich ein tiefes Schwarz in den Schatten zeigt, wird zweimal kurz gespült, bevor im Siena die noch fehlenden Lichter entwickelt werden. Das mag kompliziert klingen, doch erfahrene Lithprinter werden dies nachvollziehen können.

Record Rapid is one of the papers that require little or no restrainer in the lith developer. Easy Lith FT Special, however, contains a larger amount of potassium bromide. Nevertheless, this developer can be used, but the paper then needs a considerably longer exposure time. Regardless of the developer adjustment, the snatch point is usually around 10 minutes. Even with a longer exposure time, the highlights then do not come out much more coloured, unless a second developer is used for the highlights. After the usual long development time in the lith, however, the second developer brings little effect because the highlights are already developed out. If a different tone is to be produced for the highlights, the development time in the lith must be shortened so that the second developer still finds sufficient undeveloped silver salt. However, the deep black that is usual for this paper would then be missing. Therefore, it needs a short treatment with an afterburner (with B or Omega) after the lith. As soon as a deep black appears in the shadows, a short rinse is done twice before the still missing highlights are developed in the Siena developer. This may sound complicated, but experienced lith printers will be able to follow this.

It was 48 years ago that The Beatles launched Apple Records !

Macro Mondays and this week's theme "Beatles/Beetles".

Well chuffed to see this 'unringed' bird fishing along the Cripps River as I was driving home this evening, especially after telling people for days, we'll have an osprey here by the end of the week and then not seeing one... Good job I wasn't looking the other way as I crossed the bridge, or I would have missed it.

The male I believe... A marked improvement on my last go at this.

The 92 acre site in Warnham, North Horsham was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 1988.

It includes a 17 acre millpond, marshes, grassland, reedbeds, hedges as well as both broad-leaved and coniferous woodlands. It provides a haven for a variety of wildlife with over 400 species of plants, from Common Bird's-foot Trefoil to Orchids and ancient Oaks. Over 100 species of bird are recorded annually, including a thriving Heronry, wildfowl, and all three species of Woodpecker.

The beautiful Kingfisher makes the most of the waters and are regularly seen from all three bird hides. The Reserve is also rich in dragonfly - over 21 species have been recorded - which can be seen zipping around the different wetland habitats.

This is the first time I've been able to photograph a female Mistletoe Bird. I should probably mention it took me ten times as long to figure out who she was. All I knew was that the pinkish-orange plumage under her tail would be the clue. It's like she was wearing a neon sign 😊

12/31 October Photo a Day and just sneaked in, in time. Always a fallback shot are the records and decks but they come in handy every year! Had to add a different processing to what I've done in years gone by for a different feel.
