I didn't build this for the CCC, but figured, eh, timing is right, I can always dump it into the Miscellaneous category.
Timing is everything, a split second later and I would have missed the water droplet falling from this loon's beak. That's why we've got high speed shooting now I guess, so we don't miss the slightest detail.

Stopwatch measuring time elapsed.

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
I happened to be driving by CHS looking for 2117 that was out cleaning switches and what should show up but SW-1 507, a former IC unit that usually works the north end of the complex. Nice code blue day.
Two times a year, sun lines up for this reflection on the windows of the club house. With the low clouds and clear horizon, this makes for a nice composition...

Well away from its normal morning timing, here 60010 passes Miskin in the Vale of Glamorgan with 6B13 10:05 Robeston Sidings to Westerleigh Murco. Some recent bankside vegetation clearance has finally opened up this view once again.
Timing worked out for me to catch the CSX OCS at Berea on May 28, 2015 on the way to catch a flight at the nearby Hopkins airport. Classy train and i was glad it worked out. Thanks to the NE Ohio network for the headsup ( you know who you are).
55 009, Alycidon heads north at Marholm crossing as the only cloud for miles around keeps the train from getting to hot.
My trials with film continue. This is my 1st moonlit scene captured by a long exposure, with my Pentax 6x7 and SMC Takumar 105mm f/2.4 and Fuji Acros 100 film. Eagle Island lighthouse providing some of the illumination.
I've a lot to learn about exposures and developement times and technics of developing the negatives so that I don't leave imperfections!! I'm enjoying the process so far though, I could take hundreds of digital images on any given night and batch process in LR but with one roll of film I get just 10 exposures, long exposures, which is fantastic because I get time to enjoy the sensory aspect of being out in the night.

I believe this is the first time I was able to catch a train coming under the DeKalb coal tower at the exact time the setting sun was shining through one of the windows of the coal tower. There is only a minute or two of opportunity for this, so even though the sun was a little muted due to clouds, the timing was just perfect on this 8-29-17 date.

There are some photographic challenges unique to coastal environments which can ultimately make or break a photo. For a given composition to work, you not only need the right time of day, but the right wave from the right tide, which may only happen once a week...ideally with a half-decent sunset. I'm pleased to say this one worked out!
Also, a thank you to Joseph Rossbach and Kurt Budliger for serendipitously holding a workshop in the area. If I hadn't noticed a dozen tripods from their workshop the night before, I might have missed this location.
A long exposure shot from Caister on Sea on the Norfolk Coast UK. This was my first outing with Nikon Z8. Still getting to grips with the camera but its such a lovely thing to use. Having the extended shutter speeds now over my Z6 it means no more faffing around with the cable release and manually timing the exposure. This particular morning at the coast was a bit of a dreary dull day but well suited to this type of shot.
A series of images taken on a circumnavigation of Derwent Water in the English Lake District on an overcast day in May 2022.
I wanted the launch in the middle of the gap but needed a faster shutter speed and missed it faffing with the camera.
On a cold, Winter day, the fog briefly lifts to reveal this beautiful scene, before closing-in again a few minutes later! --- Rannoch Moor, Highland (Jan 2012).
White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis) Kane Valley, near Harmon Lake, BC.
May 11 was a big day for us. For years, we have been travelling to Kane Valley in mid-May looking for Mountain Bluebirds and woodpeckers that breed there and migrants including Western Tanagers, Chipping Sparrows, Cassin's Finches, and various warblers and ducks passing through. Timing is everything and predicting it is difficult. While we didn't see several of the species we'd hoped to, we did come across a couple we hadn't anticipated, including these little guys. WBNUs are found in many parts of the Okanagan, but we seldom see them in our local neighbourhood. Was quite surprised, then, that this was one of the first birds we saw.... Looks like a bit of courtship behaviour underway here....
Well, not so much perfect timing of catching the coffee being poured but more like perfect timing for eating this wonderful piece of cake!!
Today's my birthday so a nice piece of cake and a strong black coffee, perfect!!
Oh, yes, I'm 21 (again!!)
