Just like with everything, there is a right balance on the water levels in a waterfall. Looking at several seasonal conditions, I like the May, June months in Iguazu Falls. It is at the end of the rainy season, but there is still enough water for seeing the impressive flow of the waterfalls. Yet, there is still some sections with just enough water to create completely different, soothing experience.
This year, things are a little bit different (out of balance). Recent rains caused flooding and this section of the waterfalls is almost covered by the rising Iguazu river (about 60 yards/meters). Last time this happened was about 25 years ago..

A pretty ordinary day for the open wheeler guys at Sydney Motorsport Park for the Australian Shannons S5000 Tasman Series.

Very tough to capture the austere grandeur of mountain scenery on cam they always seem smaller than in person. I think I managed it here.....or maybe not :)
Another shot from the Prescott Hill Climb, i had great fun trying to time the shots to catch the drivers illuminated in the dappled light. A lot of binned images to get the odd few that I liked
Former Santa Fe GP39-2 2846 leads the L-CHI105 west through Coal City, IL. Good timing here, as about ten minutes later a major downpour rolled in.
Das Szenario ist ja weithin bekannt: Motiv und Licht passen, nur der Zug bleibt aus. Und just im Moment, da das Ganze für untauglich erklärt wurde, nähert sich der Zug. Doch von jeder Regel gibt es die Ausnahme: So kam einer der drei täglichen StH-Züge genau im richtigen Moment am Traunsee des Weges bevor die Schatten zu große Teile des Gleiskörpers bedeckt hatten - langsam aber sicher wächst eben auch dieser Klassiker zu.
It was perfect timing when the sun came out from behind the clouds, the breeze dropped and I was able to capture this shot of two leaves being lit up by the light. Also pretty good Timing that Flickr fixed whatever bug it had so that I could upload in time to make Flickr Friday! :)
I think getting one of the small birds in flight, in focus is all in the timing... and just plain luck of shutter control. In other words, it's flippin' hard! This is only the second time I've done it and I tried often in the last several winters.

Post sunrise at Cathedral Cove, in the Coromandel region of New Zealand. A beautiful location that was fun to shoot before the crowds arrived. :)

I found this strawberry flower this morning.
It will never become a strawberry.
Right place, wrong time...
Being in the right place at the right time is key to a great photo, regardless of the subject matter. In many cases it is just pure luck.
Lady Luck and I play games every day I depart Chicago. She seems to work against me more often than not, but once in a while gives in and allows a nice shot.
On my assigned train home, there are two times that can be pivotal for a potential photograph at the former Grand Junction. One involves an over/under possibility, while the other is a side by side which will be discussed later in "Grand Timing Again."
If things go as planned, our train is doubled up and air tested after 2pm. An outbound Metra electric passes under our mainline every day at 2:20pm.
Keep in mind, all of the tumblers have to fall in place. Just one problem, like issues with the power or problems doubling up, and any photo op is gone. And we are talking about railroading here!
On this day, Lady Luck was on my side. Perfect skies, an on time Metra, and the dispatcher holding us for a westbound all made this picture a reality.
It truly was Grand Timing!
As the saying goes timing is everything. As I watched this show develop I was hoping for a train before all the color disappeared. Fortunately it all worked as a short train appeared at the right moment.
I had no plans to stop in Sharples after a day of shooting in east Central Alberta, but it looked like the sun might be in my favor as I approached the Sharples turnoff. I got there just int time to take advantage of this.
CN L516 is two miles into its journey to Stevens Point from Withrow at milepost 429 of the CN Minneapolis Subdivision. A late season thunderstorm roared over Washington County here at Arcola in May Township while the L516 was getting its track warrant to head east. Just as the storm was letting up yet still raining in sheets, L516's headlight appeared. I can't describe the sky in this moment other than strange. It was shades of orange and pink, honestly not looking that real.
When I was young my parents got us a C64. My favourite cassette was Bruce Lee. I loved that game so much, especially the sounds.

I tried putting some of the screen work, ladders and lanterns around the figures as part of the base, but it just detracted from the interaction between them IMO. Since this is supposed to go on my desk I wanted it to be reasonable simple in construction and able to be viewed from multiple sides.
The hardest call I had to make was the chin part on Bruce. Since it was based on an 8-bit 2D image I went with what looked best from a variety of angles. I could equally have justified making the chin pixel recessed but ultimately went with this one.
The base needs work, but until I get more white bricks (to put sideways) this will do.
This back lit towering cumulus cloud displayed nice iridescence, shadow cast on to higher clouds, and a bird of prey (although it might just be a raven).
Picture of the Day
I hope this qualifies for a fitting joke @ one of my fave sites focused on a specific topic, Papyrus Watch. ;D
(And what's with the CamelCase?)
If you look closely, you can see me in the reflection, taking the picture.
I went to the lake last week to try to catch some rising mist. I wasn't sure where to get the best views. Stopped at this spot and 5 minutes later the mist was all gone and the sun warmed up the view (image below)
A lone worker, headed home in the twilight, is serendipitously captured in a shadow-box filled with sun.
And I could've been another minute late
And you'd never would've crossed my path that day
And when it seems true love is hard to find
That's when love comes along
Just in time
You can call it fate
Or destiny
Sometimes it really seems like its a mystery
Cause you can be hurt by love
Or healed by the same
Timing is everything
