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.

And, GOTTA go LARGE
Driving along down I-15 south towards St. George, Utah, I hoped to be able to get some good shots of the sunset. At the time I mentioned this out loud, there were thunderstorm clouds overhead, and so I didn't know if the sun would ever peek out. Luckily, we went to get some gas (and ended up not), but when turning back realized that the side road we were on offered the perfect view of a truly serendipitous moment for us; the sun had dropped below the ceiling of thunderheads and shot its last rays of the day through the gap between the clouds above and the mountains and horizon below. Lucky us.
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.

After waiting just west of Wyoming CN 8886 and 2665 get their manifest rolling west again towards Sarnia just a few miles away. This train had been sitting out here on the single track for quite some time and waited just long enough for the sun to clear the tree tops. This was a great start to a great trip to Ontario.
It was great great timing when this Barn Owl made an appearance just as the clouds parted bathing the area in warm evening light.
... 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...
(Aaron Jonasson said "Vole-oci-raptor!")
In case you're wondering about the timing of this sequence, the photos were taken at 9:29:51, 9:30:07 and 9:30:28 a.m. PDT. Those kestrels are speed demons. I had been rolling slowly up the road and saw the falcon on the wire (yay) and stopped car, at which point it immediately flew away (sigh) and then in what seemed like a handclap's time, was back with this vole. Not long after the pix were taken (another few seconds...) he flew to the top of a support post for the wire which had room to set the vole and presumably begin his meal (or maybe tearing it up to take to the family members?)

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.
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.
I had to put in a couple of hours at work this morning but finished up by 0730. The UP has a 6 day a week Z train that hits Springfield in the 0745-0815 window - just ahead of ATK 302. Today was no exception. I made it downtown and hiked up the parking garage and heard horns to the north as I reached the top! I was happy to have an ACE leader but disappointed with the graffiti. The Alton / GM&O depot is awake as 302 was only 45 minutes ahead and passengers were milling around the platform.

I was scouting out a cliff overlook and the perfect timing for thunder to happen happened. So I had to leave, it was either that or just stick my tripod straight into the air and wait for a bolt of lighting. I'll share something from that awesome canyon over look later.
Spent a couple of nights off the beaten path backpacking in the Eastern Sierra. Had some rain, thunder and lightning, you know the usual stuff in the Sierra at this time of year. I need a better rain poncho so I can fish longer in the rain. Did okay fishing w/ just a single bright dot fly. If anyone is up for bagging Russell in the next couple of weeks let me know!
For the processing (photo geek stuff), had to tame the red color channel quite a bit just get some of the other colors to show up. The blues were pretty much gone in the raw file but I brought them back with layers instead of painting them in lightroom.
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.
Good timing. Not planned either. This is Fraser castle. A frequent enough visit where new ideas are required.
Fir Island - The dark morph, known as the Blue Goose, is extremely rare in Washington and has a dark gray body and white head. Both morphs have orange legs. Juveniles are gray overall with dark legs. www.birdweb.org/birdweb/bird/snow_goose
Fraser-Skagit Population Dynamic. "Snow geese that over-winter in northwest Washington comprise a unique population of intercontinental travelers shared by three countries: the United States, Canada and Russia. These snow geese make an arduous, annual flight to Russia’s Chuckchi Sea, to breed on Wrangel Island off the north coast of Siberia. They are called the Fraser-Skagit population, because the same identification collaring/banding studies that disclosed details of their migration timing and itinerary, found that snow geese of this group had a high fidelity to one nesting site on Wrangel Island and to one wintering area, here. They stay apart from the other snow geese aggregations that nest separately on Wrangel and winter in California." ~ wdfw.wa.gov
As was trying to get a shot of me holding this little pink flower, a hoverfly landed on it :o)
Colour Fusion - Think Pink
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.

I traveled miles and waited hours for an imagined beautiful sunset in this barren wetland. But as the sun was setting—and just as it touched the horizon—it faded and disappeared behind a thick, gray smog.
Bad timing? Bad weather? Or maybe both.

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
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.
