This was taken a couple months back during Photoshop World in Las Vegas. On our way to drop off Verent (one of RRS’s engineers) 500px.com/verent at the airport we noticed the Vegas sky was BLOWING UP. We said a very quick goodbye and sped up to the parking structure. I was pretty amazed we didn’t catch any grief from the security guard as we rushed by with tripods in hand. I guess we looked innocent enough and our saying, “We’ll only be a couple minutes,” (when we really meant a good hour or so…) was all the cushion we needed to wait for the good light.

For not knowing I was doing a bracket series of him he sure stayed pretty still composing his shot.
For the best shot of the night check out Joe Johnson, Jr.’s HDR pano of the skyline: 500px.com/photo/2889424
All and all a great trip, solid learning experience and one of the better nights of shooting I’ve had.
This set of 3 brackets went through Photomatix 4.1, Lightroom 3, Nik Color Efex Pro 3, Viveza and OnOne’s Perfect PhotoSuite6. That sounds like a ton but bringing all the layers into OnOne makes the whole process so fast.
Thanks for looking!
Growing up in Pickens, I can whole heartedly say the Doodle is the reason for my love of trains. From my grandfather working for them back in the day, to passing it everyday parked at the old shops on the way to and from school, the doodle was just about a daily part of my life. I’m pained to see the state in which the city stuffed & mounted the Doodle, but I’m also glad its saved and hopefully will spur on another young rail buff. (12-8-20)

I made these stuffed hearts and circles to dacorate the xmas gifts and they also can be used to hang on the tree!
Als ich diese verdorrte, abgefallene Zwetschke an dem kleinen Bäumchen sah, hatte ich sofort die Assoziation mit den Wörtern Blaurock bzw. Blauzeug vor mir, der blauen Arbeitsmontur von Installateuren, Klempnern, Elektrikern und ähnlichen Handwerkern. Kein Wunder, oder ?
When I saw this withered, fallen plum on this little tree, I immediately had an association with the words "blue coat" or "blue stuff", the blue work clothes of plumbers, electricians and similar craftsmen. No wonder, is it ?

An incredible guitar riff to a fantastic disco tune!! - Mike
*****
"'Hot Stuff' is a hit single released by American disco singer Donna Summer in 1979 as the first single release from her Bad Girls album through Casablanca Records. Up to that point, Summer had mainly been associated with disco songs but this song also showed significant rock influences including the guitar, which had never been used in a Donna Summer single before. In fact the very intricate solo was played by Ex Doobie Brother and Steely Dan guitarist Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter. It was certified Platinum by the RIAA and remained at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three non-consecutive weeks. 'Hot Stuff' would also win Summer the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, making her the first African-American artist to achieve that feat. It is ranked #103 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of 'the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time'.
The songs also lists at #67 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of all time.
The song also topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart, with Summer's follow-up 'Bad Girls' as a double A-side. The popular 12' single edition of the song plays the full 6:47 version of the song and then segues into 'Bad Girls' 4:55 version." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Stuff_(Donna_Summer_song)
*****
"In 1977, Donna Summer -- the first no-bullshit soul singer to have an icy, businesslike edge to her voice -- delivered 'I Feel Love,' one of the greatest, unalloyed disco songs ever. Two years later, Summer transcended her disco origins and stormed the old rock-pop traditions with Bad Girls. The album was more concise and scorching than Summer's earlier work -- particularly the title jam and the Rolling Stones-worthy 'Hot Stuff.' The general impression at the time was that Summer was assuming a place within the line of red-hot rock-soul belters, but the truth was much more important: Along with her brilliant producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, she was creating a new idea of international pop. Madonna's career without Summer and 'Bad Girls'? Unthinkable.
Bad Girls is the first major album to use synthesizer-based disco studio techniques in the service of pop-rock songs. Much of it is played on live instruments; the guitar solo in 'Hot Stuff' is as universal as, say, the Lindsey Buckingham riff on Fleetwood Mac's 'Go Your Own Way.' But on uncannily biting and hook-y tunes such as 'Can't Get to Sleep at Night,' Summer and Moroder showed how dance music could kick like the meanest real-time rock & roll. For years after, an entire commercial strain of rock and pop would obsess about technology in ways that would revolutionize the sound of music, for both good (Duran Duran) and ill (Kajagoogoo).
This reissue contains a companion disc that collects Summer's previous and subsequent hits: the minimalist masterwork 'I Feel Love' and the sweet, soaring 'On the Radio.' Like Bad Girls itself, it's just about unimproveable.
