Its Spring, so that means air shows on the way. Here's a shot of the amazing Brietling team in Portland last summer.
My camera is currently getting a professional clean before I head to Iceland in July on a photo tour and my car is in the garage getting some unfortunate major repairs - wont have either back for a week!
So mainly stuck at home and having to resort to posting older shots - this one a street scene taken in Zurich old town last year from our trip to Switzerland.
Ideally, I should have waited another hour or so to shoot this photo of the Milky Way hanging in the western sky over the dam at Carcoar (NSW, Australia) to improve the balance between our galaxy’s band of stars and the curved structure below. The weather forecast predicted clouds moving in by that time, so I captured a few shots before moving on to another location.
The dam wall’s full width was covered in a water curtain that plunged to the valley below, providing an agricultural flow to the Belabula River and the surrounding countryside. Above the landscape, the astronomical phenomenon known as the Zodiacal Light can be seen in my image, brightening the sky diagonally in the left-hand half of the scene.
My favourite style of nightscape shot is a single-frame image, and today’s post is another example of the genre. I captured this scene using my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera and a Samyang 14mm f/2.4 lens @ f/2.4, using an exposure time of 20 seconds @ ISO 6400.
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!
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 was actually scouting for locations for the next morning. But the conditions in the late afternoon were so great (no wind, still water, nice reflection) that I couldn't resist taking this image. The following morning appeared to be crap, so I was thrilled with this result.
A few days after I posted this image on Instagram I was approached by an author, asking if he could use the photograph for the book he is working on.
So, if all things go well: this image can be viewed in print around summer. For now: have you all a great weekend and,
Enjoy!

ODC = Timing
I had the luxury of my husband driving me to work this morning as we have a meeting to attend this evening. As we drove across the bridge at Kemah Texas I caught this beautiful one shot photo of the sunrise since he was driving:) SOOC
Happy Friday everyone!
. . . I was very lucky to be here, when you consider I was having two stents put in a coronary artery just a few weeks ago!
But also, the weather being beautiful, the golden trees turning in the canyon, and the lack of any crowds at Zion National Park was amazing.
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
On a windy bluff in my city is an area where Pasque Flowers bloom annually, an almost hidden area not many know about....and yet, every time I go there is always at least one person looking for them too:)
I was afraid I waited too long this year to visit but clearly I was on time...
Often known as an Easter flower due to its timing but in our climate it rarely blooms that early.
Happy late midweek, flickr friends...thanks for your visit....Pat...xo

Timing in photography can make a huge difference in the appeal or action captured.
I was fortunate to capture this ducks behavior at the right time as it seemed to be responding in a less than friendly manner to the other duck nearby! - I love the other duck's indifference to the verbal attack too!!! :-)
I'm sure we could relate to this kind of behavior and probably substitute the ducks for people!! :-)
Hope you like it!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - greatly appreciated!!
Have a tremendous day and week folks!
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

A Mistle Thrush feeding on Mistletoe berries. This is a shot that I've trying to get for sometime now. Apart from the timing issues of capturing the bird with berry in it's beak getting a clear shot of these flighty birds feeding in reasonable light has also been tricky. Finally I managed to capture the moment yesterday.
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.

Purple Martin. View Large On Black Purple Martins are aerial insectivores, meaning that they catch insects from the air. The birds are agile hunters and eat a variety of winged insects. Rarely, they will come to the ground to eat insects. They usually fly relatively high, so, contrary to popular opinion, mosquitos do not form a large part of their diet. IMG_6764
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.
Timing is Everything
Running like clockwork...

A long exposure, landscape image of waves crashing over the rocks at sunrise at Sandend in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
Is a game I play, sometimes.
As Ansel Adams once said, “Sometimes I arrive just when God's ready to have someone click the shutter.”
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.
