Doug Harrop Photography • Oct. 18, 1976
Doug and his trusty camera were in the Tehachapi Mountains when he composed this spellbinding photograph of two eastbound trains. Southern Pacific 8953 East emerges from a side track, sanders fully engaged, as SP 8652 East waits on the main line at Rowan, California on Oct. 18, 1976.
As is often the case, timing is everything.
I drove up to this roadside waterfall for the first time after the heat wave of June 2021 and the waterfall was barely a trickle. This time the flow was respectable and the light made nice beams as the sun popped over the top of the cliff.
... hatten die beiden Fotografen an der Werksbahn Fieni-Moroeni um den Frühling voll einzufangen.
L45H-038 tuckert gemütlich in Richtung Fieni mit ihren beladenen Wagen und verlässt soeben Moroeni.
Auch wenn es schon der 3. Besuch an der Strecke war, ist man doch immer wieder zu anderen Jahreszeiten vor Ort und die ganze Strecke wirkt gleich ganz anderst.

The day after Thanksgiving has been designated Native American Heritage Day in the U.S. celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of the country. It offsets some of the naive ideas promoted by the Thanksgiving holiday. The overlap with "black friday" is most unfortunate, and has resulted in some Native Americans to declare the timing of this day of commemoration to be in "poor taste."
It is thought that the first humans were present in North America around 23,000 years ago, possibly even earlier. The diversity of environments in which these human cultures thrived, from the Arctic to deserts is amazing- no other species on Earth has done this. The traditions they established are indeed rich and beautiful, many of which are carried on today despite governmental attempts to quash them. There are 567 tribes recognized by the Federal government.
This petroglyph panel shown here portrays one of these rich cultures that thrived in what is now southern Utah and southwestern Colorado 2000 years ago. The large anthropomorphs are in the San Juan style (Basketmaker II period). The shamanistic figures have enigmatic head ornaments (some look like antenna), belts, and necklaces.
This shot is the result of the craziest timeluck I ever had while taking photos.
I said to my friend: "Damn, have a look, that frame is perfect. Now I want a red train to drive across the bridge!"
And just as I finished the sentence the train arrived 😅🚂
Trust the timing
of your life.
it felt so good getting out last night.But i guess i have to pay the prize for going out cause my leg is just not having this but who cares hehehe i sure dont
This weeks Snap Happy theme of 'feathers and fur' was chosen by Margaret.
A very timely pair of images as this little caterpillar was one I saw just be chance while out walking my pooch last week, and the feather was a tiny little one, about the size of my little finger nail that landed ever so delicately on my geranium leaf in my garden. I couldn't go past both of these for this week's theme.
I had no sooner finish saying to Kevin that we hardly see pheasants any more when I looked over and saw this casually strolling by.

Before the annual fireworks show in Detroit, several old warplanes out of Willow Run were doing fly-bys on the river. I had to time my shots as they passed behind openings in the skyline.
My favorite train in one of my favorite places - but timing and outside factors needed to line up.
The Empire Builder runs along the former CB&Q mainline towards St. Croix where it will divert off the BNSF St. Paul Subdivision and make a run down the Minnesota side of the Mississippi River. The train lost time in northwestern Montana and was unable to recover, so the lateness sunk, floating just under eight hours. However, that lateness was making it possible for an afternoon shot in the Grey Cloud Dunes Scientific & Natural Area, but that was depending on the will of the dispatcher.
I arrived Grey Cloud Dunes well in advance of the Empire Builder arriving St. Paul Union Depot. In the meantime, I was happy to get some eastbound BNSF intermodal traffic while I waited, additionally watching the clouds come and go and hoping dispatching would route the train on the more scenic BNSF St. Paul Subdivision route winding along the Mississippi River in Cottage Grove, Denmark Township, and briefly in Hastings. At 4:16pm, the Builder departed Union Depot and the hope of seeing it at Grey Cloud was strong. To my surprise, the clouds broke off and the sun proudly shined on my scene - I now just needed the train! Nerves built around the prospect of getting 'the shot,' fingers crossed, but there was still a 50 percent chance the dispatcher would send the Empire Builder straight through Cottage Grove along US 10/61 and avoid Grey Cloud Dunes altogether. My nervousness turned to delight when the distant rumble of eastbound traffic became evident. I should note, too, that I had no idea what power combination would lead this particular run of the Empire Builder. I was just hoping to see it in any form. I was surprised to see this unique pairing of 203 and 301 through the lens as it passed into my scene.
Glorious!
Timing is Everything
Running like clockwork...

Tullagh Bay, Dunaff - Clonmany, Inishowen, County Donegal, Ireland
This panoramic photo captures an extremely wide view of the stunning Urris Valley. From the top of Binnion Hill overlooking Tullagh Strand, Dunaff Head & Raghtin More Mountain there are so many areas of beauty to be found here on the north coast of Inishowen.
I have captured this scene in the past however, it was winter so the mountains were snow-capped and the sun was setting directly behind Raghtin More mountain. I’ve since seeked a new version with no snow and the sun setting more to the right over the ocean. I wanted this newer version to also be even larger than before, showing a little more of the valley to the left leading back to Clonmany and also showing the little beach to the far right of the scene. These were all the little things either missing or aligned differently on my first photo, so my new personal challenge was set to recapture this newly visioned scene
Firstly, I returned during summer which obviously meant there was no snow but the main reason being that the sun would set more to the east during summer and as you can see has thankfully set over the ocean. This scene once more proved to be very challenging to capture mainly due to the enormity of the area and capturing 12 separate photos, then combining and fitting all into this one panoramic photograph. Timing it with a vibrant sunset, calm weather conditions and only a 5-minute window to capture all was nerve-wracking 😓
I won’t complain though as everything aligned and worked out extremely well for me on this evening. The weather was perfect with little wind and I captured my photo exactly the way I wanted it! sometimes things do go perfectly to plan 🙏 I hope you enjoy it as much as I've loved every moment capturing it
Hope you enjoy! Please Favourite & Follow to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you
A long exposure, landscape image of waves crashing over the rocks at sunrise at Sandend in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
It took nearly 10 years, but I finally managed a properly-lit photo of the Pennsylvania Railroad heritage unit. All previous attempts were on overcast days. So here we have NS 8102 leading 25V west through Bound Brook in nice afternoon light, with a haze of exhaust hinting at the train's speed. But it almost didn't happen. Seconds after this photo was taken, 25V met an equally fast-moving 62V right next to me. Timing is everything.

NS 8102 ES44AC "Pennsylvania RR"
In my current life I have to plan pretty far in advance to work in a backpacking trip, which makes it challenging to time an adventure to coincide with shoreline blooms, since that timing varies each summer too. And I never really know until I get there anyway. So I was very pleased to see the color here last summer.
As Landscape photographers we know that light and timing is everything, of course a little luck goes a long way as well. We were returning home from a place 5 hours away and I did my best to arrive at this spot just as the sun was setting.
It is easy to look up the time of the sunset so I did my best to get us here as close as possible. When we arrived I asked the family if I could stop for yes, just one more photo. They graciously complied and even went a step farther. We needed gas so they went to town in order to fill up giving us enough to get home. (Bless their Souls)
They returned with their treats (as I knew they would) and half an hour later I had a treat of my own. This is the best I have ever seen or photographed Rundle Mountain. She really gave us a light show that evening and I counted at least 7 other photographers who would have gone home with equally gorgeous results. Thanks team for giving this photographer the time needed for nature to do her part.
Long time without water drops :p

Me and my daughter did a last-minute lap around the lawn, looking for anything interesting to add to my Darktable queue, and boy did we find something! This male Green Lynx (Peucetia viridans) was in the middle of molting when my macro lens managed to make sense of the scene! I thought this was a really cool and unique experience for my daughter, and I was super excited to share it with y'all, too!
If you zoom in, you'll be able to clearly see the chelicerae and fangs being bared as they dry, along with the newly-formed markings dotting his legs! He added a generous amount of height to his frame with this molt, too, and I'll share a shot of that next.
This portrait was captured by my Venus Laowa 60mm f2.8 Super Macro! This photo is cropped to center the action. This tied-up terror is around 10mm long!
