I went to check out Oyster Point on Sunday and came across this Genentech office building with very sharp corners. I pondered: what did they do with that space?

My original RAW capture was taken hand held at 500mm and this individual wasn't large in the frame. This post is a considerable crop and enlargement from my D500 NEF file using Auto ISO 800 / f7.1 / 1/2500 sec
Finally getting clear of the sharp curves of the mountains, the Provo-Denver exists the east end of Barbara's Gulch. The train will not be able to speed up much, however, as the signal is displaying an Advanced Approach (flashing yellow) aspect. The reason being that the train is taking the siding at Leyden to tie down. The crew will be picked up by a van and a relief crew will take the train in to town later in the day.

I drove into my driveway late yesterday afternoon and almost missed seeing this bird. I started to get out of my car and saw this sharp-shinned hawk sitting in the snow about 35 feet to the right front of my parked vehicle. I had my camera with me in the front seat so I managed to open the passenger side window, lean over as far as possibly, and start snapping photos Most were blurry even after increasing ISO and getting a little higher shutter speed. It was difficult to hold the camera steady while leaning awkwardly across the front seat. After while I decided to open the drivers side door and try getting some better shots which I managed to do but as is obvious the poor light and background doesn't result in great images. I was amazed that this bird did not fly until after it ate the last few bits of quail. It stared at me several times.
These photos were shot at about 4:15 pm just after sundown. I watched this bird for about 10 minutes while it ate the quail. This bird appeared smaller than the Cooper's hawk that is a frequent visitor, has legs that to me look thin, and has a squared tail which I believe describe Sharp-shinned hawk. When it flew and landed I was able to get a poor photo of its spread squared tail. If however my ID is not correct please let me know. IMG_1080

Backyard visitor in NE St. John's, Newfoundland. According to Birds of North America, the Ruby red eye suggests that this adult is at least 3 years old.
I haven't done any woodland photography for ages but the other day I woke up and looked out the window to be greeted by a light mist rolling across the treetops. Ok I thought, breakfast can wait. I grabbed a camera, 2 lenses, my tripod, and set off.
Twenty minutes later I was in one of my favourite local woodland areas trudging up the hill and into the woods.The light at first wasn't great but sometimes you just know that something special is about to happen. I then met a lady on the path and she said something like she wished she had a camera with her because she'd just passed through some gorgeous light. I said thanks and sprinted (well, maybe not sprinted, more like walked a little bit faster) towards the area she had indicated. I needn't have hurried at all. Within a couple of minutes I was surrounded on all sides by light spilling through the canopy and cutting great swathes of light through the fine mist that still lingered. It lasted a little under a half hour and then everything returned to normal. Sometimes you have to believe in magic!

Enjoying the user experience of this lens with the T/S functionality. Still getting used to it and loving the results. One thing to remind myself is not to go crazy on the T/S functionality, it can be overdone. Using this lens at 0/0 setting provides very good imagery, sharp! The 45mm focal length offers a great perspective.

(Anemone acutiloba) There are a few varieties of the hepatica in bloom at this time of the year. Only a few I saw were this deep purple color and they stood out so prominently. They are a delicate bloom about 2cm wide. I tried hard not to step on any along the trail.

A pun to start the week for the Ilford Advocate testing, FP4+, Ilfotec HC, Ilford rapid fixer, Ilford boxes all ticked.
October 11, 1992. Not quite as sharp as I would prefer but I was (and am) quite happy to have taken this photo. Getting a B&O in the lead by 1992 was always a treat and leading a second section of the Philadelphia Trailer Train (S136 in CSX parlance) was even cooler. The 6501 was built as the B&O 3685 in 11/66 and is the second GP40 built for the B&O of what was many more to come. The train is exiting the lower end of Mance on his trip down the mountain.
I noticed this bird of prey being harassed by crows as it attempted to cross the Columbia River. It had its eyes set on the House Finches in a tree near me, but the attention from the crows foiled the surprise attack.
I took this from the van and so far away that I thought it was a Robin because it looked reddish on the breast. Surprised me when I enlarged it on my desktop!
