Author L R Lam with an advance copy of her forthcoming "sexy dragon" novel, Dragonfall, which is coming out in May (she was swinging by to drop us off an advance proof copy to read - in the book trade this is known as an author doing a "proof drop". Very much looking forward to reading this - and in good timing it will be published just before our next Cymera Festival, Edinburgh's literary fest of science fiction, fantasy, horror and YA books, in June.

I finally got a shot that I have wanted to get for a long time. One on the list you can say. The difficulty has always been that if you are a very early morning commuter you know that a 5-10 minute delay could really mean 30 plus minutes of congestion later along with finding safe parking around train tracks. This morning I lucked out. The sunrise was coming up, the light was on the rails and I had a camera with me, well an iPad. I still envision getting this shot differently but for now I'm happy that I still can chase that light.

A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 is caught leaving Las Vegas (McCarran) Airport.

 

I just caught it as it was about to disappear from view. A fraction of a second earlier or later would have produced an entirely different picture.

Sometimes timing is everything. Any photographer knows getting up at dawn to look for animal often pays off if you get to the right places. I had seen Tapir footprints close to the Big Tank in Santuario do Caracas, Minas Gerais, Brazil the day before, so I dragged Leanne out of bed with the birds dawn chorus. The water at the Big Tank was coated with an early morning mist, and across the dawn through a secluded bay came this wonderful, elusive beast - A Brazilian Tapir. It cut a stealth line across the Big Tank, a land animal which comfortably snorkels through water, something I had read in my research preparing for our trip. This special moment was over in a flash, but it was a real wildlife highlight of Brazil, and in fact highlight of World Wildlife. Not a great photograph because of the fog, light and range (this is 500mm full frame), but a photograph of a great moment.

with the freezing fog giving way to the rising sun, my time here is almost done.............

Sunrise at South Era beach, in the Royal National Park south of Sydney, Australia.

Just minutes from departure, the clouds rolled away and allowed the golden hour sun to shine upon NJ Transit's newest heritage locomotive. GP40PH-2B # 4210 with "Erie" livery meets GP40PH-2 # 4109 with "CNJ" livery in Suffern, New York. As 4109 set off for the yard, 4210 departs for Hoboken and the clouds roll back in.

We had perfect timing crossing the Grimsel Pass: Without knowing it even existed, we drove up with the steam train, passed it and had time to see it pass us several times.

Dave was mending the engine... the afternoon sun catching the metal giving it a lovely glow..

In Tokyo for training with my company, I walked passed this temple on my way to the meeting. I walked the 45 minutes from Hamamatsucho to Azabu Juban just to get the feel of Tokyo in early mornings. On three separate occasions over a year apart, I spotted this same woman walking through the courtyard on her morning chores.

I was walking around the beach in Waikiki, getting shots of surfers and waves crashing on the jetties when I turn around and see this... fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-jason-jacobs.html

My metronome from when I was learning to play. Helps keep that #Timing perfect!

I wasn't sure what to title this one.

 

Taken with my Canon 50D and Sigma 105 Macro, handheld. JPEG from the camera, reduced in Photoshop by 50%.

The campaign to get a good, well-lit photo of the George Robert White Memorial continues. With the aid of sun-spotting software, I'm starting to dial in on times of the day and of the year when I've got a chance of a good photo.

 

The photo I want continues to elude. But if you hit the Public Garden between 10 and 11, it's possible to get something nice from this angle. If you're willing to climb up on top of the marble edging of the fountain.

"Life is all about timing...the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable becomes available, the unattainable attainable. Have patience, wait it out, it's all about timing." -Stacey Charter

  

Happy New Year friends.

There was a lot of this happening and it's fun getting the timing right! Trying out a pre-loved Tamron 150-600mm lens at the local Osprey nest. Quite pleased with it so far. I've seen the previous owners shots so know its potential. The Osprey pair are doing well, the male brought in a fish, landing gently on the nest, then took off again and dive bombed crows in the vicinity. The female appeared to be feeding young, but no heads apparent above the nest yet.

I took this shot in Panama City Beach this fall. I love it when the timing of a shot works out just perfectly. Here is a Brown Pelican with a seagull nicely placed behind.

Missy was so good at sniffing out abandoned tennis balls and now it looks as if she passed her skills onto her friend Tasku.

It helps a lot that I can still walk with Tasku and Taivas A forest walk is not the same without a dog to share it with.

 

Everyone, it seems, wants to get in on the picture.

A missing image from May 2018 that I’ve only just got around to posting. It was the evening of a dry storm. The lightening display was spectacular and I just grabbed my camera and pressed “record”.

 

On numerous occasions I’ve tried to post the video several times but Flickr keeps timing out despite the fact I believe the size of the clip is below the maximum allowed.

 

The year will soon be ending so I’ve now given up and have posted a still from the video!

While on my way to work this morning, I saw SOR 496 running down the Burford Spur. With 15 minutes to spare and my office being only a minute from this shot, a quick stop for a photo was in order.

 

It was a little gloomy for my liking but being able to shoot a train before work was pretty slick.
