While the northbound was pulled up on the mainline this remote job was going about his duties of dumping several dozen loads of aggregate. The skies were clear and the temps were cool.
I originally came across this old lantern, table, and other stuff in a remote wash in the Sheephole Valley Wilderness about 1.5 years ago. I decided to hike back a couple weeks ago to check things out, half expecting the old lantern to be gone. Not only was the lantern still there, but things were exactly as I had left them! No sign of footprints, and I doubt another human being has been here since my last visit. I would love to know the story here... old miner's camp, perhaps? Another desert mystery that will likely never be solved!
In the woods with Phill this week spending a bit of time with stencils and a bit of a lighter weight kit as i've been getting a bit of Plantar pain in the heel of my left foot. I think carrying a rucksack full of camera kit, lightpainting kit and tripod has started to take its toll on my body. A great chilled night out.

During our trip to the Twin Ports and Iron Range, my friends and I decided we would attempt to go after Cliff's Northshore Mining operation. Operating in some very remote territory and with limited public access to the line, this railroad has run in relative obscurity compared to the other ore haulers in the region. Armed with some solid intel as to when they would be running, we went to the MN 2 overpass, and we waited. And waited. It rained, it was foggy, and the mosquitos were out for blood. After about an hour and 45 minutes, we were starting to wonder if we had missed it. Finally, a distant horn, and a few moments later, the 11 AM crude ore loads came slowly into view. Simultaneously, the rain tapered off, and the sun showed itself for the first time in a few hours. It all added up to a very nice view of NSM's recently purchased SD70ACes, leaning into the curve with dynamics whining as the heavy train worked downhill towards Silver Bay.
this was taken with my iPhone on a pretty remote drive not too far from where I live.
The air quality from the fires has improved with a on-shore wind blowing..
Had hope to see some deer on this day but only came across a few doe's and fawns, they did not give me much opportunity to photograph them.
Had not been out with the camera much this summer and I really did need this drive. Good for my sole.
Not too far to Ledmore Junction, this is a typical Scottish single track road. There are just a few houses once again it is a pretty remote spot. What you cannot deny is that sense of time and space.
For the past 36 hours we went off-the-grid and deep into the Namib-Naukluft desert, exploring the Skeleton Coast of Namibia. Over 600KM of endless dunes and some of the most remote and barren (but oh-so-beautiful) territory in the world.
Back, now, in Windhoek and ready to start co-leading a 12-day photography workshop tour with friend and talent Paul Zizka (pictured here, exploring the dunes).
I've bought this set for 75€. With an L-Motor, Battery/Receiver Box and Remote Control this seemed good value for money. Seemed.
This is a chinese as you can get, when you order a pint of lager and get a glass of horsepiss. Yes, it's yellow and has foam on top, but you'd be a wee bit disappointed - as I am.
1st they did not understand the special properties of a shay, which runs on two bogies to tackle tight radii. This has no bogies, it's a rigid rame loco. The front and back wheelsets don't even touch the rails when you put it on the R40 circle that comes with the kit.
2nd the electric part. It's on or off, like in the good old days with my 4,5V Lego trains, but at double speed. If you want to watch the peculiar power train with moving pistons and turning cogwheels - you can't. The loco is too fast, and the pistons are just a blur.
Without friction tyres it takes a few seconds of spinning wheels until the machine gets into motion.
3rd cable management.
This thingy comes with about 20-25cm (10") of four core cable, but it doesn't exist in the instruction booklet. You have to guess where it should go, and at the end you're left with one big loop. Yes, there's room in the driver's cab, but where do the fireman and the driver go? And they don't even make any arrempt to hide the plugs. Only one in my pictures because I didn't bother with the light, but there are two 4-core cables.
Recommendation? Definitely not. 2 of 5 stars.

Running an SD40-2 (out of frame) via the remote on his chest, a BNSF engineer shuffles hoppers into the South Yard at Alliance, NE. Even with the downturn in coal traffic out of Wyoming, dozens of trains head in and out of the Powder River Basin mines via South Yard each day.

Montana Rail Link SD40-2XR No. 256 gives its remote operator a ride to their next cut of cars to switch at the east end of Laurel Yard on October 8, 2023. MRL’s last paint scheme omitted any cab logo and left a bit to be desired, especially since it left out the word “Montana” from appearing anywhere on the blue machines. MRL locomotives that were radio control equipped are EMD SD40-2XR Nos. 254, 256, 258, 260 and 261.
Guess what? I have a remote now! Woot woot!
My face is looking a little on the greasy side. Too bad I'm no Photoshop guru. I just know the basics. :(

I use an Einstein 640 strobe with a 22" beauty dish & diffusion sock mounted on an Elinchrom Handheld Boom Arm. I typically fire my camera off with a wireless trigger, and that in turn fires my CyberSync™ Trigger Transmitter on my Nikon D800 to fire off my strobe via a CyberSync™ Transceiver. I end up taking several exposures, both high and low, while walking around the vehicle. I'll layer the images in Photoshop and switch each layer to the 'lighten' blend mode. I have been using layer masks to remove some highlight details from the strobe reflection, but I don't always find it works all the time. 1970 Plymouth Duster, 2016 Mountain Thunder Car Show in Old Fort, North Carolina. I shot the car in full daylight with about 5 stops of ND filtration and had the flash power at maximum.
