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!!!
I was amazed I actually got this with my point and shoot! have a great Tuesday guys! And thank you so much for dropping by :)
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.
With this spectacular sunset lasting just a few minutes, Freightliner Class 70 No. 70001 passes Sandbach with 4O29, the 15:15 Trafford Park – Southampton MCT intermodal on 30th December 2019.
By about 0640 hrs I was near Union Jct and watching a Northtown departure disappear off West Hump's board while getting lined up on East Hump's board down the St. Paul Sub. The tracks were heavily shadowed along the transitway at the time, but conveniently, a sliver of light was present at Union Jct--even lighting the station sign. The only thing left to do was to time in the lead locomotive for the fraction of a second it was fully lit and get the shot.
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.

Seemingly more common and abundant this year or my timing at this site was better.
The timing was juuust right, to snag a pair of shots here in Paxton of CN M335, before hurrying off to the interstate and blasting up to Gilman for its towers. The Paxton trench can be difficult because of its limited light opportunities, especially relatively early in the day like when I rolled in, but a few little light gaps were present. The concrete bridge railings offer an interesting view right down the tracks, one that worked out fairly well I'd say.
CN M335 today was led by IC1010 and sister units 1036, 1007, and 1026. I hadn't planned to shoot any farther north of Champaign than Rantoul, but I just couldn't keep myself from following along.
Really most of the time it is sheer luck! I had just pressed the shutter release when the train appeared. I didn't even hear it coming. I then spent the next few seconds praying that the shutter didn't close too early on my exposure. I would love to say that it was timed perfectly with the meteor but no, the train arrived about 10 minutes before the sky exposure. Its not often i do this but i just thought the blended re-edit summed up the enjoyment of the night all in one.

Absolutely perfect timing after coming back from shooting L536 led to a meet between two Metra trains at Roosevelt Road in downtown Chicago. On the right, Metra BNSF line train #2015 blasts out of Union Station with an F40PH-3, and on the left is the same set seen earlier with the Blue F40PH-3 leading a repaint into the yard for the day (3/8/25).
Perfect timing of the sun slowly beginning to set over the city of London.

"Macro Mondays".. "Chain". This chain & sprocket are unused and date back to the 1960s. I had to open two BMC "British Motor Corporation" parts packets to photograph these items. The oily appearance is the original anti-corrosion preservative.

22nd October 2025.
Yes, I am a tourist. But I found out how much I needed to be. I needed to get out of the same old same old and just SEE something new. 6 days of not just "going through the motions" really helped.
Walking around Universal wasn't just fun, it was amazing. A lot of respect goes out to them for the thought, the technology, the money, and everything else that they put into this park. I've never even seen a Harry Potter movie, but it didn't mean I wasn't blown away by this environment.
And I didn't "add a fireball" in post. It's crazy how much heat that thing generates, even standing on the street on a hot day.

Large waves formed by Storm Kathleen hitting the sea wall at the entrance to St Mary's Harbour. Making it on or off the quay without getting soaked is all about timing!
Toothed belts /timing belts are available in different sizes even in loops (which sometimes can be of corrrect length for tinkering).

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.
