The combination of later timings,easterly wind and very hot weather made it difficult to find a suitable location on the S+C so it seemed sensible to stay close to Hellifield in the hope of some exhaust.

NJ Transit's 40th Anniversary Express rolls to an unexpected stop on the six-track section of the Northeast Corridor in Linden. A mechanical issue caused only a brief delay but allowed gathered photographers to take as many photos as they wanted. The next stop will be South Amboy where the historic "engine change" from electric traction to diesel occurred in years past. NJT's remaining active pair of F40PHs would take over from there to Bay Head. The train is led by two NJT heritage units, one PRR and the other represents a scheme applied to NJ Transit E60s and ALP-44s in the 1980s-90s.
NJT 401:
NJTR 4636 ALP-46A
NJTR 4640 ALP-46A
Toothed belts /timing belts are available in different sizes even in loops (which sometimes can be of corrrect length for tinkering).
FYI: this is NOT a Photoshop collage! It's straight out of the camera with the exception of a few minor blemish touch ups. Happy Cliche Saturday!
Thank you FG for your remote flash trigger and expertise. I couldn't have done it without you.

BR large logo 47593 accelerates away from the village Postwick towards Norwich on Saturday 16th April 2022. The 'Duff' leads the 'Norfolk Coast Express' railtour from Great Yarmouth to Norwich, allowing the stock and D213 to be turned before the journey north west to Manchester. Having grabbed a shot of the 37's on the GEML, this shot was my next aim but timings between the two locations was very tight. Thankfully for once, the slightly early running 37's, combined with the speed restriction still in place in the background of this shot meant the 1Z76 passed here just a couple of minutes after I arrived.

my dear friend from graduate school days, Jörg, has arrived for a visit at our unusually un-scenic moment…

Timing is key with sunsets etc, this was shot some time ago, and the sky was amazing that night, I've shot the tree to death, so on this night I was just the sky, its enough.
** A special thanks to all who attended our workshop today **
Enjoy.

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I miss spending time here and hope that one day when I am not working such long hours and commuting I will have more time and energy! I treasure all my contacts here and am forever grateful for all that I have learned from all of you!

I always have my camera on the seat next to me, ready for anything! Today, I'm heading south on I-57, about to go under the KB&S former Big 4 viaduct, when I see the KB&S Kankakee turn headed to Kankakee. The odds were in my favor to capture this shot!

This morning we have 60 knts nortwest wind. Heavy swell and waves like this, jumping over the Mouro Island, covering its lighthouse.
As I was leaving work today I heard Pan Am local freight DO-1 getting paper to leave Portsmouth to head back west to the mainline. The 10 mile run at 10 mph from Portsmouth to Rockingham Junction gives me just enough time make the trek from work down to the Great Bay area and get into position for a shot. The Great Bay is a large tidal estuary that flows into the Piscataqua River mostly known by environmentalists for its' abundant plant and wildlife. Although rarely photographed, the former B&M Portsmouth Branch crosses the Squamscott River at the southwesterly end of the Great Bay on a causeway and a pair of timber pile trestles.

A rural country light that caught my eye because of the contrasting colours... this is straight from the camera!
the southern california timing association (SCTA) has been hosting land speed racing meets at el mirage dry lake in the mojave desert since 1937. racers come from all over california to test their skills, to see who can go the fastest in 1.3 miles from a standing start. the event is full of colorful cars, bikes and characters.

In der Fotografie spielt Technik eine Rolle. Die heutigen Kameras sind ja voll davon. Bald benötigt man einen Waffenschein dafür…. Trotzdem spielt sie für mich eine untergeordnete Rolle, bezogen auf die Landschaftsfotografie. Da ist es entscheidend den richtigen Moment zu erwischen. An diesem Abend sollten mehr als drei Lilien blühen umgeben mit einer schönen Lichtstimmung und schleichenden Dunst aus dem Moor. Würde sagen, das passte ganz gut.
Das alles ist nicht immer einfach unterzukriegen, nebst Job und Familie. Besonders, wenn der Anfahrtsweg noch sehr lange ist. Doch mit solchen Belohnungen nehme ich das gerne auf mich. Ich geniesse den ganzen Prozess, mit Planung, den Moment vor Ort und zufrieden wieder heim gehen, sehr.
Fast alle meine Fotoprojekte bleiben mir in guter Erinnerung - ja, manchmal auch nur in Erinnerung 😉 ich lasse sie gerne Revue passieren, oft in Form dieser wenigen Zeilen, die ich alle mit meiner eigenen Intelligenz schreibe
Das alles wollen und können nicht alle, soweit so gut. Für mich ist das bewusste Fotografieren wichtig und meine Art kreativ zu sein.

Cootes RL302,C503 are about to enter Spencer Junction yard at Port Augusta with a loaded sleeper train from Whyalla bound for Bookaloo after the locos run around.

While out for a brief period this morning I heard UP's twice-weekly Duluth transfer calling from Tower Avenue in Superior to come across Grassy Point Draw. At roughly the same time a CN light power move called RTC for authority to come down Proctor Hill to Missabe Junction.
I thought there might be an outside chance of seeing both at the Junction given the distances each needed to travel were similar. While waiting for them to show up the UP train called BNSF's Duluth remote job asking what their status was. They said they were about done at Rices Point and would be using the westbound to the paper mill. Hum...
As I stood on the 27th Avenue West overpass next to the sewage plant I watched as the UP train slowly worked toward my position and the CN light power set eased down the ramp into the Junction yard. The CN crew got off to switch ends before heading down the hole track just as the UP train came around the curve. Over my shoulder I could hear the BNSF job rolling west. The stars aligned perfectly with a rolling meet between the UP and BNSF immediately west of the bridge and the CN power still in the shot directly above.
The smell from the sewage plant was ripe, but this meet was refreshingly sweet.
The Oyster beds at Helvick head, just outside Dungarvan Ireland. The picture was taken while the tide was going out. When the tide is in, the pot is under water, when the tide is out, the water is gone. Timing is crucial here. Thanks Owen O'Grady for taking me there.

Salt print on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag 8x10".
Salted with 0,8% gelatin, 1,8% sodium citrate and 2,0% sodium chloride.
Sensitized with 10 % silver nitrate.
Digital negative with Easy Digital Negatives (Peter Mrhar) gradient map, exposed for 9,5 min in UV-box.
Cleared in citric acid/seasalt, fixed in hypo and rinsed in HCA.
If alternative/historic photographic processes need patience, so does water drop photography...
Better than before calibrating with HPR, but still haven't found that "oomph" contrast with salt prints. To be continued. :-)
The thing about shooting regularly (daily) is that you notice your environment more, you become more observant. Nearly 35 years in Cambridge and I hadn't seen this view like this before! I think the new passion for "street" work helped me "see" and frame this like this. Stepping back a bit and seeing the "bigger picture" also helped. And then there is the timing: something I couldn't be that bothered with before in non-street work.
