My son, Adam's, dog, Dahlia, a rat terrier, checking the water of the canal, here ,in Turners Falls. Adam said she's wimp... she won't go in if its too cold. She didn't go in. :-)
Trying out a Sigma 150-600 in the photographic shop... this was in the window over the way. Impressive lens, but boy is it heavy.
Test shot for exposure and framing of my previous post.
That bottle of Loreal shampoo turned into one hell of a gel.
Then, after prep, it's a good idea to test the rig BEFORE heading out on the ocean.

“To love. To be loved.
To never forget your own insignificance.
To never get used to the unspeakable violence
and the vulgar disparity of life around you.
To seek joy in the saddest places.
To pursue beauty to its lair.
To never simplify what is complicated
or complicate what is simple.
To respect strength, never power.
Above all, to watch.
To try and understand.
To never look away.
And never, never, to forget.”

OK, had a very frustrating week of photography, starting with the big Flickr Server Switchover.
My new login refused to stick and kept throwing me out. My old login still worked on my Mac but not on my iPhone. My SD card broke. It was my SD card reader that broke it. Ordered new SD card and reader.
Apologies to everyone I've not commented back on recently, will aim to do better!
17.1.2017. In dull drizzly weather, Virgin liveried Hitachi IEP 'Azuma' No 800101 passes Botany Bay with the 14.35 Peterborough - Doncaster Carr IEP Depot test run.
The train was running under electric power.
The newest addition to the ground of the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona, is this Boeing 747-100. It was the oldest flying 747 up until its retirement. Flown by General Electric as a flying propulsion test bed.
Taken with a new rig and experimenting with a new lighting setup and shooting from below as well as from above.
Different sculptures are formed this way, not the normal collisions...but certainly different...
More to come when the new rig is finalised.... watch this space :-)

忍 受 試 探 的 人 是 有 福 的 ． 因 為 他 經 過 試 驗 以 後 、 必 得 生 命 的 冠 冕 、 這 是 主 應 許 給 那 些 愛 他 之 人 的 。｜聖經 雅各[1:12]
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.｜ James [1:12]
After checking the weather for days, on Thursday morning June, 29 I decided to head east as weather forecasts were showing it was the only direction with a chance of good weather.
Riding with me that day was my mother who was visiting for the week and my wife. It was out the door at 5 AM, and eastbound we headed. All week long the smoke from the Canadian wildfires had been chocking out any sun there had been. By Painsville, OH, we were in full sun. We eventually made it to Erie, PA.
With a heads up from a friend, I was informed that even though workers were striking at the Wabtec management would be out testing locomotives and off to the Erie East Commercial test track we headed.
Not long after arriving at the only grade crossing on the test track 4 units made a slow pass eastbound. Knowing it would not be long before they came back west and I set up for this shot.
Heading back west under a heavy load, at slow speed CSXT 7276 a newly rebuilt CW44AC, now a CM44AC leads GECX 2015 & 2014 both ET44AC's, and NS 7635 a ES40DC, back towards the plant.
The three of us hung around for 3 more passes while they kept testing the CSX and NS units as I changed photo angles.
