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.
Another shot taken on Sunday. Perfect timing with the high tide smashing in against the rocks

Bill needs to get quicker on the draw with those crackers! LoL!
The things he'll do just so I can get a good photo op ~ Gotta love him!
Without you, there is no time
The bee acquires the stillness of a stone
And nature's frantic flap assumes a stationary stance.
Colour fades and life is held as though in heavy glass
The swift, suspended inches from her nest
Will there remain 'til after you return.

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.
I was about to phot this 1949 Ford Coupe that had been parked outside a St. Pete auto repair shop only for its owner to step in and reverse out, with the mural now forming a superb backdrop. A vastly better pic ensured.

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).

What so often happens when i am scouting a new composition is my plan is normally thrown out the window. I was trying to find an outlook tower near my home which apparently shows a great vista at sunset. Me as an ex soldier and armored with an iPhone still couldn't find it. However what i did find was a fantastic woodland and the timing with the sun slowly setting. Another one for the local map of great finds.
This idea popped into my head yesterday and this morning I set out to experiment and play with it. I was so excited how the smoke was acting around the egg I wanted to race back here and show you all the very first one I took :D Off I go!

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)

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."
Being the European Capitol of Culture is a big deal for the small city that gets the nod. All sorts of visual and performance events, lots of tourist money. But well, 2020, you know. Hard to recoup an investment.

The lilac breasted roller has been a long time favorite of mine and one never tires of their incredible beauty. Some years we did not see many but the past two years in Etosha we have been fortunate to see numerous rollers in varying parts of the area. Needless to say it is always a thrill. They are small but packed with dynamite color and they leave you feeling well just awesome.
Wishing you all a very blessed day !!!
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.
In all my years living in Truckee, California, I don't think I have ever seen a train on the side of the mountain. Excellent timing!
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.
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.
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!
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.
