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.
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.

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.
This Kyoto trip featured the best timing for autumn foliage, but unfortunately, the regrettable part is that half of the photos I took disappeared. I believe there is an issue with myself for not confirming whether the photos were completely stored in Lightroom, but experiencing such trouble in Lightroom is a first for me. Nevertheless, I must express my gratitude that this wonderful photo were preserved.
I didn’t set this up. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

On a stop over at Half Moon Bay, earlier this month, we just happen to hit it just right with the tide down exposing this beautiful reef. With the sun shinning and several birds as models timing is everything and we sat down and shot away!
This is 'model #1'

With a bit of patience and timing, the natural world provides some stunning photographic opportunities - like this giraffe perfectly placed against a yellow moon.
Today is the last day of winter so here's one from back in mid-January. We waited two hours for a rope drop and over two feet of unskied powder. I don't know who this skier is but I love the shadows and curves in this photo. That was a great day. And even though the calendar may say winter is over, there's a storm forecast for this weekend. We're not done yet.

As a first time visitor to Yosemite National Park, little did I know that stopping at the tunnel view is an essential part of any Yosemite trip.
I did not realize until we got home that this is one of the most heavily photographed areas in the park. We were able get a great view of (L to R) El Capitan, Clouds Rest, Half Dome, Sentinel Rock, Sentinel Dome, Cathedral Rocks, and Bridalveil Fall. Although the valley appeared to be all trees, we discovered otherwise once we did our drive through. There are meadows and the Merced River is also down there. I have seen so many beautiful photos of this area on Flickr. It is all about the light which appeared to be changing every few moments. We did not have the best light as our timing was not the best, but did manage to have a clear day. Hope you enjoy.
Best viewed large.
Dodged the showers and caught a tailwind on the return trip, perfect timing! This is a view of the beach and River Forth from Kirkcaldy esplanade.
Setting up for a shot of the moon and this plane landing at the Van Nuys Airport got in the way. (Looking for more interruptions like this.)
“Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable. Have the patience, wait it out It's all about timing.”
I actually had to take a break every minute from looking at the screen while processing as the blur made me dizzy but i kind of like it because of it :).
The timing was perfect as all the girls were arranging where they would be standing when Peter pulled up and signaled for me. My first reaction was the girls must have thought we were related but I could see them watching my every move. I spoke to him in English and asked him if he wanted a date? He said “yes” and I gave him a high price in response to his question to lay the groundwork for the rest of the night. If the girls heard how much I wanted then as I brushed off the other “clients” they would not become suspicious. They may not speak French but they understand Swiss Francs. I got in the car and we drove off out of the district for 30 minutes. One pastry and coffee later, a few pictures and we were back. I looked every bit a pro as I reapplied my lipstick which I had previously whipped off. The girls looked and spoke amongst themselves.

Had I been late by a couple of minutes or positioned differently, I would not have been able to capture this. Indeed, everything is about the Perfect Timing.
My wife sent me out to get her a bowl of chiil from Steak & Shake just as #145 was passing thru Starne Interlocker on the east side of Springfield. This gave me just the right amount of time to get down to Cockrell Lane, nail a shot of the train in gorgeous late summer light, get the chilli, and then return back home with my wife none the wiser. Perfect timing indeed!

We had a really nice light display yesterday in the Pacific Northwest and in typical poor timing fashion I was driving to location I had never been to because at the time the light looked terrible. Well I got to were I was going which wasn't in a good spot for the afternoon light that came busting through, so I high tailed it back into downtown and hit up one of my favorite parking garages just in time to catch the tail end of the sunset. Better late than never I guess. This is a view down fourth avenue (the bus line) from the international district looking towards downtown. Hope everyone is having a great week and thanks for stopping in to visit.
