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. Its 6:17am on a Saturday morning as Q156 brings its train over Doodletown Bight Trestle and onto Iona Island at Bear Mountain N.Y. C40-9W 9048, AC44CW 275, ES44AC 3092. 05-18-2013. Howard Kent Jr.
Dandelion seed head and buttercup bokeh in the hedgerow near Whorlton Castle, Swainby, North Yorkshire.
I wasn't trying to get a butt shot. Just a nice group shot. But the dove had other ideas. Just as I pressed the shutter, the dove did this.

At the end of a beautiful day in Iceland we stopped at the geysir. What a great timing to capture the eruption during sunset.
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.
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 38 year old Australian returned to the triangle after an absence of eight years. Riding the PBM Ducati originally down to be raced by Michael Dunlop, he topped the Superbike timing sheets in first practice eventually ending eighth fastest with a speed of 120.919 mph. One to watch on Saturday.
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.

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.
Just as Doc was exiting our tiny grocery store in Glennallen - 5 big tour buses pulled in dumping out well over two hundred troops. They all made a wild dash for the doors, and at times were bottle necked. I don't see how our store could possibly have met the needs of all those hungry young people. It's a good thing Doc and I got there before they did.
... and I just missed it.
For this weeks challenge, I have used 4 subjects that have previously been seen in other Flickr Friday challenges.. The reflected ceiling, the carpet, the camera and the clock... and rather than hide the camera and tripod... lets make it part of the image... it is after all 5 o'clock and I have other things to do...
This juvenile Great Horned Owl fell out of his tree and landed on the ground about twenty five feet from me. He was trying to hang onto every branch and leaf on the way down and appeared to have a fairly soft landing. We stared at each other for about 20 minutes which allowed me to get a few photos before he disappeared into the brush. Wildlife photography is all about timing. It was an exceptional day at Fontenelle Forest.
Single shot astro landscapes can require tricky timing, like catching the only passing vehicle at night while using a self timer, during the changing light of astronomical twilight! Tamron lens, processed in Lightroom with daylight white balance.

Trying to take an image of the acorn cap and a chickadee landed on it.....twist of the camera and I got a cool image.
The timing is right on par with my previous records: March 13, 2015, March 10, 2016, March 11, 2016 (which included 1 Whooping Crane), March 9, 2017, March 13, 2021, and today March 10, 2022. I was able to differentiate the groups by numbers and the time as they passed overhead. Total time observed was 2 hours and 15 minutes. (Orland Park, Cook County, Illinois USA) *Group 13
The sky was a pale, blue gray all day, as the Sandhill Cranes flew overhead at thousands of feet in the air. Viewers of this series may wonder, "Why so many shots of the silhouettes of cranes?" The answer to me is in the spectacle to behold, the balletic movements as they fly, everchanging patterns, and a symphony of sound!
I dont know what equipment he used but Im sure he got some great shots.
The Antelope Island State Park close to Salt Lake City is a great location especially during sunset as you can see. The bad thing is the park closes at sunset which means there is only a few minutes window to get some pictures.
A colourful building in Montreal that I stumbled upon recently. It is the new Convention Centre. At a certain time in the afternoon, if the light is just right, the colour from the windows is reflected onto the street.
UP 844 arrives into Pacific, MO for a stop as the sun pops out. This was the only sun seen on the 844.
Many of my trips to the former Boston & Maine’s East Deerfield Yard in west-central Massachusetts were not without a stop at my other favorite spot of Millers Falls. Here the north-south Central Vermont Railway and the east-west B&M would meet and the tracks of both railroads ran side-by-side for a bit. The CV southbound job to Palmer crosses the Millers River and I somehow snapped the shutter right before shadow engulfed the lead engine.

Well, the weather here in London, England is rubbish this weekend...and I'm currently sick as a dog...:O(((
Apart from having to drag my sorry ass to the West Ham game tomorrow, I'm keeping my head down...so to speak..:O)))
I have my mates season ticket and even though the games live on TV...I'm still going to go to the game...I have to be mad....of course come the morrow, I may change my mind...even West Ham aren't worth getting sicker for...especially with the football they are producing at the moment...hey ho....
Anyhoo...this is an image from my archives that I took before I had photoshop...all I've done is enhanced the colours and straightened up the horizon a tad...hope it meets with your approval...it brings back and mixture of good and sad memories for me, especially as I may never see it's like again..:O(((
That's enough of my wallowing...I hope your all having an awesome weekend, whatever the weather..:O)))
