Macquarie’s Point, Sydney, NSW, Australia
I’ve probably got several hundred images of the Opera House taken from every possible viewpoint, including our hotel bedroom window, the Harbour Bridge and several ferries. From Bennelong Point you are constantly looking up at the roof segments which makes a full shot very difficult, but if you want to get a full side view of this magnificent building there is no better location than Macquarie’s Point in my option.
Besides, I’d carried my tripod and heavy zoom all over Australia and I was sure as hell going to get some use of them both! Just having some fun here picking out details… other images are available.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a Merry Christmas and Happy holiday. Thank you for all of your Fav's and comments.
I was playing with an interesting process for this Pano. I shot 10 vertical groups of 30 images, total 300 images. I did this using my intervalometer to fire off 30 shots for each of the 10 segments of the Pano. Why might you ask? It is just my nature to experiment and play with technology. Anyway, I was interested in a pseudo "long exposure" effect for cloud movement. without shooting an actual long exposure. This works well when its bright and sunny and you just can't get a long exposure, even with a ND filter. The wind was blowing, and the clouds were moving in the distance. By shooting 30 shots continuous one after another I captured the clouds in a slightly different position due to their movement with each shot. Then back in Photoshop there is a process called (Smart Object Stack mode, mean) where you load all your images as layers in Photoshop. then you convert all 30 into a single Smart Object. then you use the Stack Mode and select mean. Photoshop processes them all together into a single image rendering the different cloud positions as a fluid movement as if it was a single long exposure. I did this for each of the 10 segments.
If you look at the Sky, it has movement, but the mountains are sharp. I shot these at 1/400th of a sec. (This is not a Photoshop or AI blur effect)
Ok,Ok, so much for my lesson for the day.
These forlorn corn stalks look as if they are talking it over with the trees. The big tree is the leader. They're talking about the new year
Looking NW, across the Firth of Clyde to, firstly, the Isle of Arran and, behind, the Kintyre Peninsula. On the Scottish mainland, Turnberry and Maidens.
Beautiful evening.

Sorry I haven’t been able to look at or comment on you photos - WiFi has been down for some time. Trying to catch up now that it has been resolved (hopefully).
UP YBE51 rolls down Madison Street on the KD Line after making its pickup at Cimco passing Mary's Place, one of the oldest bars in Rockford. The second engine is buried mid-train.
The KD Line started out as the Kenosha and Rockford beginning operations in 1861 between its two namesake cities. It was quickly taken over by the C&NW in 1864 and was thereafter known as the Kenosha Division. The KD was abandoned in segments shortly before World War II.

With only four cars to deliver and nothing to pull Conrail Shared Assets' Morrisville based local MOR33 was in and out of the Primient bulk transload facility located in the former Tate and Lyle plant (originally an A.E. Staley corn refinery) in only twenty minutes
CSXT GP40-2s 6129 and 6238 are on their way back to CSAOs yard light engine as they make their way down the middle of Delmorr Avenue on the 500 ft long segment of street running. Passing overhead is an empty New Jersey Transit train deadheading to their Morrisville Yard after deboarding their last revenue passengers across the river at the Trenton Transit Center where NJT's Northeast Corridor Line service from Newark and New York Penn Station end their runs.
A 7100 hp Bombardier ALP-46 blt. in 2001 is leading a consist of Bombardier multi levels westbound off the 18 arch stone bridge spanning the Delaware River that was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1903. Catenary was strung over this stretch of the mainline in 1930, and by 1935 electrification was in service on the whole PRR between New York and Washington on what is today Amtrak's Northeast Corridor mainline. The train is at about MP 57.8 on this exceptionally busy stretch of quadruple mainline which sees SEPTA, NJT, Amtrak and occasional Conrail Shared Assets local freight traffic.

I've always loved the beginning BW segment of the Wizard of Oz film. In particular the scenes where Dorothy meets Professor Marvel just before the storm brews up. The sepia tones, the dusty landscape, the dark clouds, the shadows, it's all part of classic visual storytelling. It sets the mood and atmosphere before even a word of dialog is spoken. I think, like most of us, scenes from that film are hard wired into my mind because we first viewed it at such a young age, and probably multiple times. All these years later, I still react to environments that remind me of the film. I'm insipred to attempt to recreate them photographically.
