Two icons of the Borough of Kirklees: the Victoria Tower on Castle Hill, Newsome (opened in 1899) and the Emley Moor Transmitting Station (opened in 1970). Both are listed buildings. They are about 4.5 miles apart and I took this photo over two miles from the Victoria Tower and the air was hazy; so the transmitter is not shown in the best detail. I might try again when the visibility is better. The Victoria Tower is 106 feet high and the Emley Moor Transmitter is the fourth tallest tower in the European Union (at 1084 feet high it is 68 feet taller than the Shard).
Just for comparison and also because I think they look nice together. Most of the time they'll run as a lashup.
My latest experiment is redscaling Fujicolor C200, which I then rated at ASA/ISO 12. "Overexposing" by four stops really tones down the reds, which is what I was trying to do; I prefer these yellows and browns. Rating at 12 also meant I was able to shoot on really sunny days between f/1.4 and f/2.8 to get some shallow depth of field.

This is better with a click to larger view. I only have two images I think with the two eagles. I'm wondering if they are a mating pair. The bottom one flew off the first few seconds that I started taking pics! Bummer!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL...but I did get some very nice shots of one. Was an unforgettable photo shoot!! Have a wonderful evening all...this scene was taken near Rogers Pass, Montana. :)
Please don't fav my images without a comment. That's how I prefer to enjoy sharing my photos! Thanks! :)
Two photographers, three cameras - combining a shadow self-portrait with a candid (shadow) snap of another photographer in action.
These two stags are similar in size and age and it appeared that the one standing up was the more dominant. They didn't clash while I was watching. So they might have worked out the pecking order. However, that may all change over the next few days.

This is the same wagon as the one viewed in the previous picture (91010) . The former OBA - previously pictured with sides removed - is now seen with the half height steel ends also removed. When EWS took over flask trains from B.R. they inherited these wagons but when DRS took over from EWS, EWS took the PFAs with them.
In 1994 the Waste Monitoring and Compaction Plant (WAMAC) at Sellafield entered into active commissioning and began compacting solid Low Level Waste for disposal to the Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR) at Drigg using half height ISO containers designated TC-01 (2910 series). Prior to that, waste had been moved in commercially available industrial waste skips. A more robust type of re-useable container was tried in the 1990s but was short lived because the WAMAC system rendered them redundant.
Containers like this, designated TC-05 remained in use for many years in the nuclear industry but after 1995 saw little use on trains.

Hard to believe that these two German classics are separated by 19 years. The elder of the two, the IIIa, was manufactured in 1939, The IIIg is from 1958.
Yes, there was a war in between. Even taking that into account, it's surprising how small the changes are. There are many of changes, all of them rather insignificant.
Both cameras have a fastest exposure time of 1/1000 seconds. Both have a separate dial for long exposure times, long meaning everything above 1/20 s (IIIa) or i/30 s (IIIg) and up to 1 s.
Both require the first 10 cm of the film leader to be trimmed with a scissor. And both require unmounting the bottom to load the film, which has to be fumbled onto a metal spool. That used to bother me, at first. I doesn't any more, I'm used to it now. No point in grumbling about such things. If you don't like it, a Leica isn't the right camera for you. No problem with that - there are plenty of other cameras.
No thread-mount Leica really is a rangefinder camera. The finder is physically separate from the range measurement. You peer into the little viewport that's more to the left, which gives a magnified image of the scene, focus, and then switch other other viewport to do the image compo. With the IIIa, the two viewports are about 3 cm apart. With the IIIg they're right next to one another (this can be rather tricky if you use them alternatingly).
Yes, that is ante-diluvian. It was obsolete in 1939 and it certainly was obsolete in 1958. No question about it. I mostly don't even use the range-measurement. I guess the distance and use hyperfocal DOF for focusing.
Zeiss-Ikon offered a real viewfinder in 1936 on Contax II that Leica introduced only with the M3 in 1954. In terms of ergonomics, the Contax ran rings around the Leicas. Apart from the rangefinder with a much longer baseline, the Contax offered a back-opening body, and a bayonet for fast lens exchange.
But hey, the reason why people use Leicas is the reason why I use Leicas. Because they are so well engineered that they just go on working, every single bit of them, decade after decade after decade.
Both of these two ladies make a wonderful, round ker-lick sound on shutter release. The sound of a well-made mechanical device. And both feel good in your hand, really good. The almost 80 year old IIIa even more than her younger sibling. Two good reasons for me to go on taking pictures with them.
The IIIg has a larger viewfinder and shows a parallax-corrected frame for a 50 mm or 90 mm focal length. The IIIa doesn't offer that feature, and its finder is rather arbitrary anyway. It's calculated for a 50 mm lens, but I use her with a 35 mm Summaron, so what I want to be in the frame mostly is in the frame, erratic finder notwithstanding.
The IIIg has a self-timer. It works fine, but I never use it. The IIIg also offers an M-sync for a bulb flash unit. I never looked into how to sync the flash because I only do available light.
Two sheds.
Located just 8 kilometres from Camden is the semi rural area of Mount Hunter.
In its day it was prime rural land and produced a variety of farm produce to feed Sydney.
Today its rural capacity is in decline and the past is now just that, the past.
So what will become of the two sheds and the land of which they stand?
Will they and the land fall victim to the government sanctioned urban sprawl development plan?
Can we expect to see this prime rural land become a concrete jungle of high rise housing which will be developed with little, if any thought to a viable infrastructure?

Two jack lake is one of my personal favorite spots that are easily accessible in Banff for a quick picture. I was shocked when I got there to see how much of the place was completely saturated by snow. Without snow shoes, its impossible to get anywhere, so I just took this shot from up the ledge on the road.
Two Steps Behind

Whatever you do - I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go - and I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around, I'll be two steps behind
Went to shoot some rocks this morning, but decided that my rocks needed some water, so I shot a different
rock...gotta love rocks. Titled this song as I tried to convey the rock looking at the seacliff bridge, and the feeling of
being left behind and
being overlooked for the job. Slight horizon issue on the left, but I'm working on this...still feeling my way with Panos and the whole technique

The image depicts two men dressed as western cowboys in front of an old wooden church. It appears to be a digitally manipulated or painted image, giving it a stylized, almost watercolor-like effect.
Here's a breakdown of the elements:
* **Two Cowboys:** The focal point. One is in the foreground and more prominent, while the other is slightly behind and to the left. Both wear typical cowboy attire: hats, long coats, vests, and pants. They are also armed with holstered pistols. The foreground cowboy's coat is darker and he seems to be walking towards the viewer. The background cowboy appears more stationary and his coat is lighter in color.
* **Church:** A weathered white wooden church stands behind the cowboys. It has a tall steeple with a clock, a simple porch, and several windows. It gives the impression of being in a remote or isolated location.
* **Ground:** The ground in front of the church seems uneven and sparsely vegetated. There are hints of brown and tan coloring suggesting dirt or dry grass.
* **Splashes of Red:** Small, abstract splashes of red are visible, particularly near the church and on the ground. These could be interpreted as blood, adding a dramatic element.
* **Artistic Style:** The image is not a photograph but a digital creation with painterly effects. There are visible brushstrokes and texture, and the colors are somewhat muted, giving it a vintage or aged appearance. The edges of the figures and the church blend into the background, enhancing the artistic impression. The use of light and shadow creates depth and draws attention to the cowboys.
* **Atmosphere:** The overall mood is serious and slightly mysterious. The muted colors, the isolated setting, and the hints of red contribute to a sense of tension or foreboding.
These two Common Line Blue butterflies may be very popular but I got them drinking water with bubbles bokeh along a stream. I still like it very much.
今天早上去烏來福山尋蝶，趴在地上拍到這三隻「姬波紋小灰蝶」在路旁吸水，後面的水波瀲灩，形成很美的散景，雖然蝴蝶很常見，但還是忍不住分享。
