Spotted this tiny fly sitting on a branch in Central Park, he hung around long enough for a few shots.Taken with a 24mm reversed onto extension tubes. A hinged hot shoe allows the flash to lean out over the stack. A DIY snoot fires the light in front of the lens.
This is one of the few places you can see TWO reversed in-service trains.
Here at the N-JUDAH / Ocean Beach layover, you can see two in-service trains in a continious loop.
The Outbound N-JUDAH train (1472A - seen on left) is just starting to arrive into the loop. The Inbound N-JUDAH train (1466A - seen on right), is seen stopping for the pickup before taking off towards, 19th Ave., UCSF, Dolores Park, and the Market Street Tunnels.

Actually, only the main image is using the reversing ring and extension tubes. Lighting was the kitchen fluorescent light and flash - just practising. The other two images are taken with Pentax W10 compact and cropped. Thanks to StevieD70 for advice and getting me started. This will give me hours of fun over the winter!
The reverse stand and rod are in place and the lever arms are pinned. The valve positions have been adjusted, and the forward, neutral and reverse notches have all been filed in the reverse stand. The cylinders and valve chests have been painted and assembled as they will be for the completed locomotive.

St Bride Foundation
Original design, Robert C Murray, 1894
The building is in the Anglo Dutch style, with fine red brickwork, terracotta dressings and a steeply pitched roof. This style, formerly known as Queen Anne, represents a breaking away from classicism with a return to the domestic architecture of William of Orange.
The height of the rooms and the strength of the floors reflect their purpose for the printing school – printing machinery is extremely heavy – and the lithographic school, which is now the public reading room, can take one ton weight per square metre.
Many features have been adapted but, as far as possible, the essential style is preserved as befits a Grade II listed building. What was the gymnasium is now a printing workshop, the towel laundry is a bar and the swimming pool has been boarded over to create a theatre but the central skylight and the viewing gallery can still be seen. This is a building with a practical purpose which, although the printing school left in the 1920s, still delivers its original aim of providing education and entertainment.
[The] Grade II listed building still boasts its original fine red brickwork, terracotta dressings, and steeply pitched roof from its original construction and feels like a hidden gem, tucked away from the bustle of Fleet Street...
Fleet Street at the end of the 19th Century was at the heart of the printing world. A trade paper of 1891 explained that “most of the great morning and evening journals are issued within its precincts, periodicals are printed by the million, books are manufactured by the ton. There is probably no place in the universe of the same size wherein so much printing is done” (British and Colonial Printer May 21, 1891).
The St Bride Foundation, then, was born from a project by St Bride's Parochial Charities to support a community with printing and publishing as its major industry.
St Bride Library opened as a technical and academic collection in 1895 and has grown dramatically since.
With the death of William Blades, Victorian printer and expert on Caxton and early printing, St Bride Foundation had the opportunity to acquire a private library devoted to the history of print, containing exceptionally rare books on the subject. The collection was given its own purpose-built, fireproof room, in which it still rests to this day, as part of St Bride's extensive library of print-related technical and academic works.
Other important collections were also added, including that of Talbot Baines Reed, a type founder and historian, and John Southward, a technical print journalist.
The St Bride Library collection now consists of well over 50,000 books, periodicals and artefacts and is a thriving, international resource for typographers, graphic designers, writers, researchers and many others who simply enjoy the wealth of publications about the printed word.
When the Institute was planned at the end of the 19th Century, the intention was not just to create a printing school for local workers, but also to provide facilities to the local community. The baths would be open to the public and "available for the use of the poorer classes".
The Swimming Pool – believed to be the first public pool in the area – remains in situ today underneath the stage of the theatre! Its original towel laundry, where swimming costumes were hired, washed and dried, is also still in place in the Bridewell Theatre Bar.
