Here is todays edition of the 517, this time with 35 degrees and steady rain. The power is the same set that I shot on this train on Wednesday but the IC 1039 has been turned, coupled back to back with the 5687 and now trails. Mary Park, New Richmond, WI January 23, 2010.
same promotion, same location
The official opening of the MTR and the new Hysan Place, both indicated on 163 and 142.
The same train from the precious shot is getting a good roll as it has just crested Soldier Summit about a mile or two ago. Keep out, and no trespassing sign's were a common site on this trip, but it just added to some of the challenges of shooting this mountain railroading.

the Samal Houses are also in Pearl Farm Resort and are right on the waters so at night when you retire and go to bed, you can hear the gentle sounds of the waves breaking on the stilt poles underneath the house.....
River Humber, South Ferriby. Some local people had just come to feed them, and after they finished their meal, these geese actually stood there just like this for ages, seemingly watching the sunset. I have been told that those two had been "partners" for about five years.

Same old view of Granville Ferry but, I am in the midst of a 50 day project and today was a busy day.
Day 4 - 50 days
Same set as most of the others but I've reworked it a little. Added some Ozymandias posters from the film. Really wish this figure had come out better both in likeness and articulation.
I'm dying to for the 21st to hurry up and get here!
It was a snowy morning in Ogden, but the new artificial turf at Stewart Stadium was cleared off and the snow had no impact on the game whatsoever.
I liked the old turf better for action photograpy. Nothing like six inches of snow on the field, mud, grass flying from the cleats and player impact to give you a sense of action. It ain't the same.
Lesser Yellowlegs
Tringa flavipes
Order: Charadriiformes
Family: Scolopacidae
General Description
A mottled gray shorebird with bright yellow legs, the Lesser Yellowlegs is similar in appearance to the Greater Yellowlegs, with some important differences. The Lesser Yellowlegs is about half the size (in weight) of the Greater Yellowlegs, which is a useful distinction when the two are seen together. The bill of the Lesser Yellowlegs is not significantly longer than the diameter of its head, whereas the Greater Yellowlegs' bill is much longer. The bill of the Lesser Yellowlegs does not become paler at the base during the winter; it is solid black year round. Its bill always appears straight, without the slight upturn sometimes seen on the bill of the Greater Yellowlegs. In flight, the Lesser has a dark back, a white rump, and a dark tip on its tail. Relative to its size, the Lesser’s legs are longer than those of the Greater Yellowlegs, a difference that can be seen in flight (entire toes and tip of tarsus visible behind the tail). Juvenile Lesser Yellowlegs have finer streaking on their breasts than do juvenile Greater Yellowlegs.
Habitat
Lesser Yellowlegs breed in open boreal woods in the far north. They often use large clearings or burned areas near ponds, and will nest as far north as the southern tundra. During migration and winter, they occur on coasts, in marshes, on mudflats, and lakeshores. In comparison to Greater Yellowlegs, Lessers are typically found in more protected areas, on smaller ponds. They are less common on extensive mudflats than Greater Yellowlegs. When nesting, they generally use drier, more sheltered sites than their larger counterparts.
Behavior
Lesser Yellowlegs typically occur in tighter and larger flocks than do Greaters, both in flight and while feeding. Like the Greater Yellowlegs, Lessers forage in shallow water outside the breeding season, picking at prey on or just below the water's surface. They are less likely than Greaters to run after their prey, but more likely to scythe their bills back and forth in the water stirring up prey like an avocet. They are typically more approachable than the wary Greater Yellowlegs. They bob the front half of their bodies up and down, a characteristic behavior of this genus. The most common vocalization heard is a two-note flight call.
Diet
During the breeding season, insects make up the majority of the diet. The rest of the year, Lesser Yellowlegs also eat small fish and crustaceans.
Nesting
Lesser Yellowlegs nest in loose colonies. They first breed at one to two years of age. They form monogamous pair bonds, but typically pair with a different mate each year. The nest is located on the ground in a dry spot, usually near water, but sometimes quite far away. The nest is usually well hidden in a densely vegetated area, next to a mossy hummock, fallen branch, or log. It is usually a shallow depression lined with moss, twigs, leaves, grass, and needles. Both parents share incubation duties, and the 4 eggs hatch in 22-23 days. The young leave the nest soon after hatching and feed themselves. Both parents tend and aggressively defend the young. The female usually leaves about 11 days after the young hatch, while the male stays with the chicks until they can fly, about 23-31 days. Pairs raise only one brood per season.
Migration Status
Lesser Yellowlegs are long-distance migrants and follow the classic shorebird migration pattern of traveling north concentrated in the interior of North America, and traveling south spread across the continent. They return to the same general breeding area in successive years and migrate to the southernmost coasts of the US south to South America. The Lesser Yellowlegs is one of the earliest fall migrants, showing up by June.
Conservation Status
Lesser Yellowlegs were hunted heavily until the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 banned their hunting. Observers have speculated that the population has recovered since the act took effect, but a lack of information on historical and current population size makes this claim hard to substantiate. Breeding Bird Survey data indicate that there have been significant decreases in numbers between 1980 and 1996, although these numbers come from a small sample size and may not represent the entire population. The International Shorebird Survey (1972-1983) suggests that there has been no significant trend in number of fall migrants at 43 stopover sites along the Atlantic. Christmas Bird Counts indicate that the wintering population in the United States is on the increase. The consensus today is that the population is currently stable, and the Canadian government estimates it at half a million birds.
The same image, but in this one the lights on both sides are turned off, and the only source is a 20W tube perpendicular to the camera with a sort of barndoor (you can see it in the setup photo).
Of course I had to use a longer exposure time, because the top light is very "light" if compared with the side ones.
See the whole setup set for other details.

La stessa immagine, ma in questa le lampade su entrambi i lati sono spente, e l'unica fonte luminosa è un tubo da 20W perpendicolare alla macchina con una specie di barndoor (potete vederlo nella foto del setup).
Naturalmente ho dovuto usare un'esposizione più lunga, perché la luce in alto è molto più debole se confrontata con quelle sui lati.
Guardatevi l'intero album del setup per altri dettagli.

I altered the sizes of these images to the same scale to show the differences in processing methods. The original (left) is pretty much as the camera saw it, with just slight sharpening due to stacking and wavelets in Registax. No color balance applied. The odd cast is due to the FL-D filter, which enhances the contrast of surface features. The redo (right) is a natural color balance, as well as sharpening due to extreme processing by resampling (enlarging) the original AVI file frames and picking 5 different alignment points, then recombining and resampling back to original size. The artifacts visible along the limb (especially on the right side) are due to the final resizing to match image scales and slight overprocessing. The major benefit is not only sharpening, but also bringing out the atmospheric details such as the clouds, polar hood and the dust storms.
MOUSEOVER: Alignment points.
If you stare at a point midway between these images and let your eyes relax, you may see a very interesting 3D coloration effect.

219/365 This photo represents a song that's been in my head today. The song is All the Same by Sick Puppies.
This card was given to me by a stranger. It was October 11th, exactly one month after 9/11. I was walking down a busy street in Boston, hurrying to do an errand before I picked up the kids. The guy just looked at me, smiled and handed me the card asking, "Hope?" I took the card, walked a few feet away and stopped dead. Then, I cried. I skipped the errand and ran to get the kids instead.
In this video for All the Same, a stranger stands with a sign offering free hugs. He was on a busy street with busy people. Some walked on by, but others, well, they needed a little hope. Really, I don't know what could be more hopeful than a hug.
