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.
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.

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 always take a quick peek on the little screen after taking a picture...
And I didn't see the expression on their face at that moment....
But when I came home and see the shots on my pc, I was laughing out loud!
My doggies make me smile all the time...wooohooo!

Happy Furry Friday everyone!
Captured this train making his way through the bridge. Taken with a 24-50 mm Minolta lens. Pasco, WA.
I had never done this kind of shots before, and it appeared quite tricky, especially with respect to timing. My first approach was by using my smart phone as remote control for the camera, but that didn't work out. Then I moved the camera closer to be able to push the button. That worked in the end, by putting the camera in repeat mode, but even then there was only one shot in the sequence that turned out useable.

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.
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.
Sometimes the shot just composes itself in front of you. This was one of those occasions that just required a little timing from me.
They just rode by lucky timing while out on the Kent weald bluebell woodland walk was a bit windy but still nice to enjoy the beautiful countryside on my doorstep..
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)
No evening out in the dark with a friend who happens to be a drone pilot would be complete without throwing an obligatory drone donut over the subject.
It's not easy to get the timing of the circle right but I did like the light cast by the drone on the ground.
No Photoshop, no AI, only two lunatics stood in a freezing field with cameras.

After checking the door on the baths pump house he now has to make his way back safely .. its all in the timing with waves breaking in and around the site . Dangerous yes .. foolhardy yes .

Ketley Crags Rock Art Carvings
5 Thousand years in the making, 5 seconds to dismiss.
People quite often as me how I got into photography, well the answer is very simple. Well when I first met my partner Suzanne she and a group of friends had a passion for prehistoric rock carvings. These carvings made by man between 3 and 5 thousand years ago, carvings are found over large areas of the UK, some with simple carvings, others with elaborate works of art. The reason for these carvings is not really known, but a few possible ideas do exist.
This is one of the more famous carvings at Ketley Crags in Northumberland, one of the areas with a high number of carvings. I took an image about 8 years ago of these carvings which was to be probably my most used and well known image. It was on a book cover, also used by English Heritage and others.
For the last couple of years on occasions I have been back to try and photograph the carvings in more of a full on landscape photograph with my intention to enter it into The Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition. Finally this year back in May the conditions and timing all worked together to get the image I wanted. I didn't want to show the image online instead hoping its different look would appeal to the judges...obviously not though.
So as I say, 5 thousand years ago it was made...and 5 seconds for a judge to dismiss the image from the competition.

Some of the watches I found are looking like brandnew, altough the opposite is true. This is a Stopwatch, still more or less in working order. Nice mechanics...

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Without the lucky timing of her stride echoing the pose of the legs in the window display I doubt this shot would have worked. Sometimes luck is your friend. Enjoy!
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
This photo was taken two minutes after the last one I posted. This illustrates how quickly the light changes at sunrise and how sometimes you only have a matter of seconds to capture the shot you are after. Like they say, "timing is everything."
I am so happy to be back on Flicker and participating in "117 Pictures in 2017". This image is for #20 Timing is Everything. Happy New Year!!!
Taken at Chester Zoo on the 22nd Nov 2023. I have taken many photographs but never managed to get the teeth showing. I was really pleased with the composition, tone and mood of this one.
For me these are not that common of a species. I usually see no more than a couple at a time, a couple times a year. This morning I found 6 on the Fraser River shooting through a gap in the trees along the shore.
A southbound work train slips through Waxhaw, NC on their way south to Catawba, SC during the golden hours of sunlight. As far as shooting southbounds in Waxhaw goes, this is about the best lighting you can get - golden sunlight straight down the tracks.
The timing of this one had to be perfect and after almost two years in the planning this is the shot I've had in my head since the last time we visited Arches National Park.
We headed up this short but strenuous hike during the heat of the afternoon sun. When we arrived, there were a good couple of hundred people all waiting for the sunset as this is one of the most iconic sights in the whole park.
Some just sitting and watching and some frantically running around trying to get the best spot for a photo. There was one group of Japanese guys who just couldn't make their mind up and were backwards and forwards with all their gear pretty much non stop. Inevitably the outcome of all this faffing around was that one guy, who obviously hadn't attached his camera to his tripod properly the previous time he moved all his gear, managed to drop his camera a good 150 feet down a steep rock face directly in front of us, it made an awful sound as it tumbled towards its death in the bushes below. The ironic thing about it was that his whole camera body and lens were covered in a camouflage housing meaning that he couldn't find it when he went down to retrieve it!
After sunset most people started to head off back down while we took up our pre-determined position carefully calculated using the photopills app many weeks beforehand.
We knew we then had to wait until 10pm when the moon had just dipped below the horizon and the Milky way had appeared directly above the Arch.
Lots of people were shining lights at the arch taking their own shots while we sat patiently waiting.
Just before 10pm there was just 3 of us left so I set up my manfrotto lights on their lowest setting, one about 150 feet away to the right and one about 60 feet to the left, both with 1/2 CTO filters.
And there it was, the shot I'd had in my head for nearly two years came to life on the back of the camera.
This is a six shot vertical panorama of the stunning Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, Moab. My spiritual home!
Enjoy!
An Old photograph but one of my favorite. Had to really play around with my ISO and timing. Had a hard time focusing with my 70-300 mm lens, didn't get the desired sharpness. The moon had an amazing fiery color that day.
