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. :-)
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.
In the background are Pacific Nationals NR36,AN11 departing Spencer Junction yard on 1MP2 on 6-10-08
Got lucky in catching CN nos.2520 & 2632 rolling across the Monte Lake trestle with a southbound load of empties.
Timing is everything they say. A “tip run” with a car load of rubbish to the local tip/recycling centre at Beeston was required so a quick check on the internet to see what was about I timed the run to enable a quick visit to Boots bridge, Beeston for two eastbound freights, the second being 60063 working 6E02, 12:46 Toton – Boston steel 30th October 2019.
Locomotive History
60063 was built at the Brush Falcon works, Loughborough in 1991 and was officially accepted by British Rail in June 1991, allocated to Cardiff Canton MPD for petroleum duties. It was first stored on the 29th November 2006 but reinstated a month later. Since then it has been in and out of store a further eight times until taken into Toton in October 2011 for a General overhaul. It emerged at the beginning of March 2012 and following a couple of test runs and a repaint into DB Schenker red was reinstated to traffic on the 8h March 2013.
well, I hate to say it...either the cedar waxwings or the robins really do lack a bit in timing. If you were to look under these beautiful trees I think half of the berries are on the ground!!!
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.

Louis showing great skills at the scooter park. He was kind enough to perform for the camera and gave some great photos.
In the very last few seconds of daylight, fresh BNSF and CP power lead SLRG 101 and newly painted/wrapped Iowa Pacific coaches southward on the Belt Railway of Chicago near Lake Street. The Iowa Pacific equipment is heading from Bensenville to work Indiana Transportation Museum's Santa Trains between Logansport and Peru. This vista is courtesy of the demolition of the Brach's candy factory, which stood where the huge gravel lot currently is.
On Wednesday 23/6/2021, 1471s (empty 1rail grain to Snowtown) is seen approaching Angle Vale road (Virginia, SA) with CLF6-alf22 in charge.
I couldn't have gotten any luckier with my timing here, as CN 543 at left (with CSXT 3224 & CSX 468 for power) is backing up at Turcot West, just as CN 323 passes at right, with BCOL 4649, CN 2599, BCOL 4643 and only 22 cars.
Sometimes Gus is so good. He "stayed" as I ran back and forth from the camera that was set on timer. All without a treat.
Summer evenings are the most beautiful.
my dear friend from graduate school days, Jörg, has arrived for a visit at our unusually un-scenic moment…
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.

Whiteface Mountain is the fifth-highest mountain in the U.S. state of New York, and one of the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. Set apart from most of the other High Peaks, the summit offers a 360-degree view of the Adirondacks and clear-day glimpses of Vermont and even Canada, where the skyscrapers of Montreal, 80 miles (130 km) away, can be seen on a very clear day. Located in the town of Wilmington, about 13 miles (21 km) from Lake Placid, the mountain's east slope is home to a major ski area which hosted the alpine skiing competitions of the 1980 Winter Olympics. Unique among the High Peaks, Whiteface features a developed summit and seasonal accessibility by motor vehicle. Whiteface Memorial Highway reaches a parking area at an elevation of 4,600 feet (1,400 m), with the remaining 267 feet (81 m) being obtained by tunnel and elevator.
Conceived and initiated prior to the Great Depression, Whiteface Castle and the Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway were funded entirely by the state of New York, though the timing of the project led to a widespread belief that they were Depression-era public works projects arising from the New Deal
driving up the coastal road in late twilight — that one light turned out to be the snowplow on his way back into town. good timing, to drive over the last pass on a freshly cleared road! particularly since the wind was already starting to blow drifts across it again...
Timing is everything. I was very keen to see a green sea turtle (Kona) in Hawaii. They often frequent Laniakea on the north shore of Oahu. On our last day up north, we drove past and I noticed a small crowd gathered on the shore. What else could it be! She was still in the water when we arrived so we were able to watch her come to shore. All the turtles are named and have a recorded history. (see below) Long but fascinating. A very special turtle.
Hiwahiwa means 'precious:.
She is 45 years old.has a fissure on the top of her shell resulting from an old injury, most likely from a collision with a jet ski or boat. It was mended by a Vet with an acrylic dental patch.
Hiwahiwa surprised everyone when she was seen nesting and laying eggs 500 miles northwest of Laniakea at the French Frigate Shoals. L-2 migrated again during the 2010 nesting season. After 32 days at sea, Hiwahiwa arrived at the French Frigate Shoals and laid her first clutch of eggs on June 10th. Data harvested from L-2's TDR ( Time Depth Recorder) reveals she made a record-breaking open ocean night dive of 570 feet (174 meters , the deepest in Hawaiian green sea turtle history. Even though she was not on the ocean floor, scientists theorize Hiwahiwa may have been feeding on mid level pyrosomes. Her last satellite signal was received on August 5th and hope faded that she would return to her feeding zone on Oahu. On September 6th, L-2 hauled onto the sand at Laniakea Beach, her satellite antennae broken off. Hiwahiwa basks year round at Laniakea.

Locomotive History
60092 was built at the Brush Falcon works, Loughborough in 1991 and was officially accepted by British Rail in January 1992, allocated to Toton MPD for coal duties. It was stored for the first time in September 2004 and was in and out of store five times over the next four years until stored in December 2008. It would spend most of the next four and a half years stored in the closed Crewe DMD until in the summer of 2012 it entered Toton for a General overhaul. It emerged in October 2012 and following a couple of test runs and a repaint into DB Schenker red was reinstated to traffic on the 29th October 2012.

This is analogous to hanging on a string , they must have many in the shortlist to choose from . If I don't hear from the Editor ,that means it hasn't gone through .
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 :)

I didn’t set this up. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Roseate Tern is Europe's rarest breeding seabird but its fortunes are on the up. In the 1970s there were just 16 breeding pairs on Coquet Island in Northumberland but this year there were a record-breaking 118 pairs. Unlike the other European terns, Roseates like to nest in crevices and hollows which are often in short supply on their nesting islands. They started putting nestboxes out in 2000 when the population was just 34 pairs. Now there are 200 next boxes on specially built terraces and the population has reached its record 118 pairs (c350% rise since 2000). This is Britain's only regular breeding site with just occasional birds nesting elsewhere.
That tiny little green device on the Roseate Tern's left leg is a datalogger. Twenty of these were attached to Roseate Tern adults this summer on Coquet Island. When they return to nest next year, the dataloggers can be retrieved and the data downloaded. This will give an accurate map with timings of where each bird has spent its time. This will be important in identifying their breeding season fishing grounds, plus their migration route, and the wintering grounds. All of this information will be really useful in the conservation of Roseate Tern, the rarest breeding seabird in Europe. For comparison of rarity the UK population of Roseate Tern is fewer than 125 pairs, whereas the Arctic Tern numbers 53,000 pairs.
The diagnostic features of Roseate Tern are long tail streamers, which are much longer than the wing tips when perched. Also the bill is largely black, always with much more black on the tip than Common Tern. In early spring they have a pink flush to the breast which gives rise to the name. This preening adult was photographed from a boat just of Coquet Island in Northumberland.
With a bit of patience and timing, the natural world provides some stunning photographic opportunities - like this giraffe perfectly placed against a yellow moon.
Perfect timing to capture these 4 gannets on the move. Just a few images from this weeks video Gannets at RSPB Bempton Cliffs to see the video click here youtu.be/OK08SBa2-XI
