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!

I always have my camera on the seat next to me, ready for anything! Today, I'm heading south on I-57, about to go under the KB&S former Big 4 viaduct, when I see the KB&S Kankakee turn headed to Kankakee. The odds were in my favor to capture this shot!

🗿 Toujours et encore sur ce spot intriguant de la Vallée des Saints 😍. Cette fois-ci, c’est une photo beaucoup plus basique puisqu’il s’agit d’une pose unique d’une des statues du site avec la Voie Lactée comme toile de fond. De temps en temps ça fait du bien de revenir à ce genre d’astro-paysage, spontanée, basique et sans artifices. C’est juste à la fin de l’heure bleue que j’ai pu faire ce cliché, après ma précédente image de l’ISS (plus loin dans mon feed) mais juste avant de faire la vue panoramique à 360° postée juste avant.

J’avais quelques minutes devant moi avant de justement commencer ce panorama. C’est en faisant une petite balade sur les lieux que j’ai pu voir cette statue qui appelle à la composition. Avec @amande.sen on a d’ailleurs faillit se faire croquer par une meute de chiens en liberté sur le site, on les entendait venir en courant vers nous dans la pénombre, flippant 😂 Finalement ils étaient très gentils et m’ont accompagnés durant toute la nuit lors de mes différentes prises de vues 🐕. J’aurais voulu une Voie Lactée bien verticale passant dans la gueule de ce crocodile de 4m de haut mimant le fait d’avaler notre galaxie hôte. Malheureusement, avec le timing de ma soirée, je ne pouvais pas entendre plus longtemps pour avoir cette Voie Lactée ultra verticale…

Just as a cloud moves over the sun, X31 leads B75 and B80 through Mywee as they head South to Vic Dock in Melbourne for unloading as 9374 from Tocumwal in Southern NSW.

After letting a couple Z's around them, a westbound vehicle train throttles up at Edelstein just moments after the storms subsided and the sunshine returned. The timing was impeccable.
Good timing was the reason behind this photo, I had been after an AR8 for a considerable time so was very pleased to finally see one. Lots and lots of older vans in Palermo, all still working as well.
Anyone out there photographing trains wishes for the appropriate lighting conditions for their approaching subject. Having the sun shine on your subject can be a good a thing or a bad thing depending on many variables. I was happy to see the sun poke its nose up over the mountains on the east bank of the Hudson River as this train approached my perch.

Such is the draw of the temples within the Angkor Wat complex that they become overrun at times. Yes, it was great to see such distinctive old ruins that I had read about since a youth but and as can her seen on the left hand image you often have to learn to be patient and share your visit with tourists from all over the world. Go off the beaten track a little and alter your timing and hey presto you can find solitude as seen in the right hand image.

It's not often I can say that - and two good catches in a day is also going some for me.
On my way home from Haydock, I decided to make a short stop near Knutsford, and have a look at what was passing on the M6. Having parked the car, I walked on to the bridge, to be met by this thing bowling down the sliproad onto the M6, and with not a second to spare, I grabbed my camera from my shoulder, and pointed it over the parapet, in the hope of capturing something. I didn't think it would even be able to focus in such a short time, let alone get a picture anywhere near the centre of the frame, but the result was more than acceptable !
For those that don't know the vehicle, it is not a Duple 320, but was built by the man at the wheel in his own workshop. Fortunately, Andrew Wareing owns a firm that manufactures and erects commercial buildings, so he had the facilities and knowledge to be able to take on the task. The base chassis is former Western SMT MSJ 388P, a Seddon Pennine 7 / Alexander 'T' type. Acquired around the time of the Duple factory closure, he was able to source enough frames and panels from them to take on this project at his premises in Wrea Green, between Preston and Blackpool. The resultant vehicle has since been used to transport Andrew and one of his collection of restored cars to classic car events all over the country. I am guessing that they were returning home from Oulton Park on this day.
As unique vehicles go, this one takes some beating !

After heading on over to CP Valley for an enticing JR1 yard job with an SD45 duo and OI16 heading through, a headlight comes into view. B115 which was let out of Teaneck an hour ago glides through. Right place, right time.
And maybe soon there'll come a day
When no more tears will fall
We each forgive a little bit
And we both look back on it
It's just bad timing that's all

happy summer solstice!
with amusing timing, the fog came back again today, making for chillier weather to start off summer -- this was taken back in april, the grass is MUCH taller now (need to get busy with my weed whacker...)
Cherry was really concerned. Out of nowhere, these ugly yellow blemishes blossomed all over her body. Exactly what she didn't need for her upcoming head shot session.

Timing is one most important for Landscape Photographer. This shot is the one of my experience how important to prepare properly before execution. I was set my GND 150mm filter, mounted tripod in right place and wait for burning sky shows.
The best season to photograph these pinnacles is mid winter when the sun rises behind them. The best location to photograph them is on the coast line nearest to the pinnacles. It sounds like an easy recipe but getting to this location in winter is tricky to say the least. Only when the right time of year, the right timing of the tide, the right weather conditions the weeks before and the right weather on the day of shooting is it possible to shoot this. This happened last Saturday and I was able to get out there. Finally! I tried it multiple times in winter without success.
But care must be taken. It was only possible on low tide, we had a window of two hours to get there and out again. Usually the sandy access beach gets washed away in winter due to stormy weather but this time the right weather patterns returned some of it back.
We were at a spot where the guide was talking about bats.
"There aren't any here right now, but many overwinter in this section of the cave."
She went on to talk of the first explorer of the cave who when he came to this section in the gloom was suddenly touching soft fur instead of wet rock.
And then a bat flew by us to the amusement of some and the consternation of others.

When I'm running late, I usually blame my "tardying angel" for throwing obstacles in my way, but maybe should blame Murphy's Law from my Murphy bed for bed timing.
This is a spring from the retracted bed, for FlickrFriday's "Timing" and Macro Mondays' "Spiral" challenges.
On Friday 5/8/2022, 2M41s (ARTC rail train) is seen approaching Pinera station (Adelaide) with Rail First locos EL53-EL56 in charge. On an otherwise cold, wet & gloomy day, a lucky burst of sun came out when it mattered.
Einstein predicted that time slows down the faster you travel and the time-dilation hypothesis has since been proven by flying atomic clocks on aircraft.
The three fastest human beings at the moment are NASA astronaut Anne McClain, Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques (pictured) and Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Kononenko who are orbiting Earth on the International Space Station at a speed of around 28 800 km/h.
They are travelling so fast that they will return home to Earth after their six-month spaceflight 0.007 seconds younger than if they had stayed with their feet on the ground.
But how do astronauts perceive time in space? Space Station crew report that time seems to speed up in microgravity so European researchers are trying to find out more by immersing astronauts in virtual reality and testing their reaction times.
A virtual reality headset is used to block external visual cues that could influence the results. The experiment focuses on how astronauts estimate time duration as well as their reaction times. They are asked gauge how long a visual target appears on screen. Their reaction times to these prompts are recorded to process speed and attention.
The astronauts run the experiment before flight, on the International Space Station and again when they land to compare results. ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst was the first test subject to take part in this experiment in 2018. Anne and David did a session in February in ESA’s Columbus laboratory.
Understanding how time is perceived in space is important as astronauts are often required to conduct precision work where timing is everything. This research in microgravity will help reveal clues as to what helps keep our brains ticking the seconds accurately.
