Good time at the fundraiser at Lagunitas Brewery. Cool place, but you can only take so much of the soundtrack from Willy Wonka before you say "peace out". Thanks to Holly - dear friend and she never has a problem when I say "I need to get a picture!"
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!
Captured this 737 on approach to 28L just as the sun gives its last blast of light before dropping below the westhills and coast range....
While driving around Galesburg, I noticed a train that was starting to head down the connection to the Peoria Sub. I hit the gas and got to the S Chambers St crossing just in time to catch BNSF 1882 heading under the CB&Q cantilever at Knox interlocking. The cantilever has since been replaced.
This morning we have 60 knts nortwest wind. Heavy swell and waves like this, jumping over the Mouro Island, covering its lighthouse.
NS G70/72 times a C102 on Old Main 3 as they prepare to cut away from part of their Industry Yard inbound cut at East Point, Georgia. NS GP38-2 5230 does the honors on the southbound move. January 2023
The low angle of the sun in the winter months in Alaska creates some dramatic lighting. This was captured in Dutch Harbor Alaska just as the sun was setting in turn lighting the snow covered dormant volcano.
I caught the tail end of the event which only lasted a few minutes .
The 1T17 0844 King's Lynn to London King's Cross Great Northern service (led by 387122), sweeps past the herd of cows grazing the river bank just South of Littleport - 20/04/2021.
The cattle were sat by the gate when I arrived, but began to stir and started to move when the previous passenger train passed. I was hoping that the herd would be in perfect position when another train passed & thankfully they were! One cow was particularly inquisitive. She came up to me on the river bank & found my camera bag very intriguing!
One has to move fast when shooting sunsets as the light changes so quickly. When combining rapidly changing light and long exposure photography you need to be on your game - a mistake in overall timings can set you back and having to start again may mean the beautiful light you started with, has gone. This is a 7 minute exposure on the south-eastern side of Derwent Water in the Lake District in England. The midges were biting and I was jumping around waiting for the shot to complete. What a sight to see! Luckily I got it right first time and I could retreat back to me car before they made a meal of me.

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.

When you have a chair, you want to run. You don't need to sit.
When you have love, you need money. When you have money, you don't have love. When you have both love and money, you don't have time.
Is it about timing on everything or something else?
May be the old saying is right?
Cherish everything you own right now and live the moment!
A scene I saw on Burrard Bridge two weeks ago.
Happy Tuesday!
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. :-)
On Wednesday 23/6/2021, 1471s (empty 1rail grain to Snowtown) is seen approaching Angle Vale road (Virginia, SA) with CLF6-alf22 in charge.
Of all the places that we have been blessed to visit, I have decided that Custer State Park in South Dakota may be a personal favorite. I’m sure that the timing of a much-needed vacation assisted in this decision, but it was discoveries like this one that made it unique.
Some would consider it erratic behavior as it cannot be explained…but sometimes I just feel instantly pulled in a direction for no know reason. The vast majority of the time I am blessed by following this impulse, the other times when not, I assume I simply didn’t go far enough. Due to a shoulder replacement in early March, it had been months since I took off into the woods with my largest lens (about 12 lbs. with camera attached) slung over my shoulder on a monopod.
As I whipped my car into a small parking area off of the wildlife loop, I was lead off in a direction away from the established trail, knowing that in an hour or so the park would start filling with other people who must be avoided at all cost! I must admit, after 30 minutes or so of carrying two cameras up and down the rolling hills of the grassland area, I was starting to regret leaving the comfort of my car! Even tough my thoughts and hopes were wrapped around finding a Prairie rattler to photograph, I decided to veer into the woods to see what might be stirring there.
After another 20 or so minutes I came to the edge of a deep ravine that tempted me so to climb down into it. The small stream at the bottom surely would provide some photographic opportunities…but then the reality of having to climb back out was realized, making the climb down a hard pass. I decided to walk the rim in search of anything moving. The cool spring air and the sound of the water below in an otherwise perfectly quiet location quenched my soul, becoming such a blessing in itself.
After walking the ridge for just a few minutes, I noticed a bison laying under the pines a few hundred yards ahead. She was on the other side of the ravine, making us safe from each other. Luckily, the sound of my approach was masked by the water’s movement below. As I got nearer, I set up my camera to see what was going on. Based on my angle of approach and having set my lens up with a focal length 2x extender, I was shooting just over 1200mm…I could see that it was a female and that she was in active labor. She was panting heavily and her female area was bulging a bit. Female bison separate themselves from the herd during birthing, this one found the perfect spot with shade and the relaxing melody of the babbling stream below.
I stood and watched for sometime unnoticed, my mind retreating to the days that my wife and I raised alpacas on our small ranch years ago. I was reminded of the countless hour of being on ‘Cria watch,” knowing that during any birth, we may be required to glove up and assist in the birth. Twice in our 6+ years of raising alpacas I was required to glove up and either maneuver the unborn while still inside, or assist gravity in pulling the newborn into its new world.
Not wanting to disturb, and knowing that some animals if threatened during this time will stop the labor process and run, I slowly moved a few steps to be able to photograph her, utilizing the surrounding grasses to hide her woman parts from the world wide web. Just as I looked through my viewfinder, she swung her head in my direction, her expression captured in this shot. She made no attempt to move, nor did I. Even though there was some 75 or so yards and a deep ravine between us, I knew I was intruding on a special moment. I took one more photo, lowered my camera and said softly “I could glove up and help if you would like” …knowing that she could not hear me, knowing I would be killed should I try.
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.

I surprised myself with this one! I was trying to sneak up on a Bald Eagle through the crunchy snow. No easy task. He heard me coming and leapt from his perch. I followed him through the trees and snapped quick when I saw an opening. I really thought I missed the shot but lo and behold I got it! LOL! Pretty fast for an old guy!
We were pleased with this first snow of the season back in November, but we have not been pleased with the recent April dustings. It snowed a bit overnight, and there is the possibility of more in the forecast. . So far, April has not been kind to us.

I have been living in Sydney for the past 4 years but I never wanted to take a picture of Opera house in a usual way. We have plenty of them in the internet. But this is something special to me.
Yes, this is a perfect timing for me to be there at this location. On a cloudy day, I thought of taking some Black and White shots. But the Nature has given me a sarcastic smile :)
