Sir Nigel Gresley at Railfest, National Railway Museum, York, North Yorkshire, England
A little bit of an unconventional image this morning. I'm still not sure if I like it as to what I had in my mind at the time hasn't really come out in post processing. It took a lot of processing to get this to how it is but maybe its one of those photos that will grow on you, we all have them don't we?
I do have a colour version and maybe this would be better to use than B&W? I want you to be as honest as possible with your views and comments on this image.
This was taken at the National Railway Museum in York where they were holding a celebration of the railways called Railfest. It had trains and locomotives from all around the UK where you could go in the cabs of them. It was really nice to get up into the cab of the Sir Nigel Gresley and have a chat with the driver, I was lucky enough to get this photo when everyone else had left the footplate. Sadly the weather wasn't on our side and I was ducking out of the rain every 5 mins, oh well you can't win them all can you?

Information
Withdrawn from service by British Railways on 1 February 1966, it was targeted by the A4 Preservation Society, which was soon renamed the A4 Locomotive Society, to rescue the locomotive from the cutter’s torch. This was achieved, and the ‘Streak’ was moved to Crewe for refurbishment. Fellow A4 No 60026 Miles Beevor also subsequently visited the former LMS works after its own withdrawal, and its three pairs of 6 ft 8 in driving wheels were transferred to No 60007 because they were in a far better condition than those on the newly saved engine.
For a long period of her preservation, Sir Nigel Gresley was kept at Steamtown Carnforth, at the old locomotive depot. This was a prime location for her mainline operations, being the only mainline A4 after 1973 other than Union of South Africa. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Mallard's record run, on 3 July 1988, the National Railway Museum assembled 3 of the 4 UK-based A4 Pacific locomotives at the museum, the first time this had ever been done in preservation. Early in July 2008, SNG joined her three sisters extant in the UK for a display at the National Railway Museum in York.
By 1994, Sir Nigel Gresley stayed at the Great Central Railway, before spending some time at the East Lancashire Railway. The locomotive is now preserved at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, and is in daily operation, following a 10 year overhaul to working order. It is owned by Sir Nigel Gresley Locomotive Preservation Trust Ltd. and operated by the A4 Locomotive Society Ltd. on behalf of the Trust.
In 2010, Sir Nigel Gresley was under repair at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway after its winter overhaul in 2009/10 revealed that extensive work and repair was needed on the tubing. However, in November 2010, repairs had been completed, and the locomotive is now running in regular service again. The first rail tour after this repair was The Great Britain IV, 16th April 2011.
However, in May 2011, during the routine annual boiler exam, small cracks were detected in the firebox. Initially it was thought that a repair could be performed using copper welding, but further inspection showed a more extensive repair would be needed and 60007 will not be operational until late October at the earliest.
The National Railway Museum (NRM) is a museum in York forming part of the British National Museum of Science and Industry and telling the story of rail transport in Britain and its impact on society. It has won many awards, including the European Museum of the Year Award in 2001. It is the home of the national collection of historically significant railway vehicles, as well as a collection of other artefacts and both written and pictorial records.
The NRM in York displays a collection of over 100 locomotives and nearly 200 other items of rolling stock, virtually all of which either ran on the railways of Great Britain or were built there. Also on the 20 acres (8.1 ha) site are many hundreds of thousands of other items and records of social, technical, artistic and historical interest, exhibited mostly in three large halls of a former motive power depot next to the East Coast Main Line, near York railway station. It is the largest museum of its type in Britain, the largest in the world being La Cité du Train in the French town of Mulhouse. It also has more visitors than any other British museum outside London.
The NRM was established on its present site, the former York North locomotive depot, in 1975, when it took over the former British Railways collection located in Clapham and the York Railway Museum located elsewhere in the city; since then, the collection has continued to grow.
The museum is a short walk from the railway station in York, either on the road or via a staircase from the rear of the platforms. A "roadtrain" runs from the city centre (near York Minster) to the museum on Leeman Road. York Park and Ride also serve the museum from the car park entrance, on Line 2 (Rawcliffe Bar-York). Admission to the museum has been free since 2001. It is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm.

Alright so last week I was in Halifax for a few days because my brother was getting married, it wasn't anything fancy he and his wife were just signing the papers, no big ceremony. They plan on doing the ceremony sometime next year over in Korea (his wife is Korean, we're Chinese). So of course my family and I went over to Halifax for a few days.
During my second last day there we went over to the rolling hills by Peggys Cove (Polly Cove Trail is what the area is called) and this was my favourite spot. I was there last year with 2 of my friends and I fell in love with the place so of course I'd go back there. Actually the rock you see in the distance on the left side of the frame is where we were last time I was here (you can see that photo in the comments). Its just the fact this time I was able to hang around there till sunset! I was originally going to do a panorama of this shot but the Mitakon 50mm F0.95 flares like no tomorrow. which makes doing panoramas with a backlit subject very difficult. But hey the F0.95 is still shallow enough for this wide shot. I do like it over in Halifax, almost makes me want to move out there, plus its cheaper compared to the west coast!

From a website:
Church of São Francisco
The church that hosts the Capela dos Ossos also needs to be seen, not least as it was a place of worship for royalty.
This is made clear at the portal, which is was sculpted in the Manueline style in the first decades of the 1500s.
Amid the decoration is an armillary sphere, which was the emblem of King Manuel I, and a pelican, signifying King John II. The nave has monumental dimensions (it is the largest church interior of this kind in Portugal), and you should raise your eyes to the groin vaults in the ceiling.
After several months of work, I'm proud to announce that Yellow and Black is ready for a soft launch!
Yellow and Black is a new forum community dedicated to the school transportation industry. It is designed to be a more modern approach to School Bus Web.
Note that this is a pre-launch announcement. There's still a lot of work for us to do. But we are excited to share our progress and open up early registration for those who are interested in joining. More info to come soon!
Bar, Restaurant and Hotel
Hotel Website
"In the early 1780s James Wingate, a Stirling business man, commissioned the famous Scottish architect Gideon Gray to build a hotel on the site of The Gibb’s Inn Tavern and Lodgings, located in Quality Street Stirling.
The Gibb’s Inn was according to antiquity, “The principal hotel in Stirling catering for coaches going north to Perth – ‘The Difiance’ 4 horse coach leaving at 8.50am – and south to Glasgow – ‘The Rapide’ leaving for Glasgow at 8.30am, both from the pend behind the Inn.”
The Hotel known as Wingate’s Inn opened to much “fanfare and anticipation” in 1786 to “provide a valuable service to visitors and travellers to and from Stirling alike.”
On the 26th August 1787 Robert Burns then aged 28 and his travelling companion Willie Nicol, who was a Master at Edinburgh High School, Latin scholar and student of literature visited Stirling Castle. They stayed at The Golden Lion and in the evening they were joined for dinner in the Hotel by local businessman Mr. Christopher Bell. At the time the Castle was in a very rundown condition and this inspired him to write the famous “Stirling Lines” and etched the following verse on a pane of glass in his second floor bedroom.
“Here Stuarts once in glory reign’d, And laws for Scotland’s weal ordain’d ; But now unroof ‘d their palace stands, Their sceptre’s sway’d by other hands. The injur’d Stuart line is gone, A race outlandish fills their throne An idiot race, to honour lost : Who know them best despise them most.”
Realising his lament for the deposed Stuart line and shock at the dilapidated state of The Castle had caused offence, Burns returned to the hotel in October of that year and smashed the pane of glass with the butt of his riding crop.
James Macdonald the Hebridean diarist recorded in his journal of the 2nd June 1796 that he had enjoyed dinner with Burns the evening previous in Sanquhar Dumfrieshire where, Burns discussed at length his stay at the Golden Lion Hotel. This was only two months before Burns died at the age of 37.
Macdonald who was a 24 year old licensed Kirk Minister wrote,
“He looks consumptive, but was in excellent spirits, and displayed as much wit and humour in 3 hours time as any man I ever knew. He told me that being once in Stirling when we he was a young lad, heated with drink, he had nigh got himself into a dreadful scrape by writing the (Stirling) lines on the pane of a glass window at the inn.”
These lines were to almost cut short his career as an Excise man before it had even started for he records in a letter that a “great person” had visited him and interrogated him “like a child about my matters, and blamed and schooled for my inscription on a Stirling window.”
In 1820 the name Quality Street was changed to its present name of King Street in honour of King George IV, who ascended to the throne in that year.
In King Street the position of the “New” Port Gate is marked in the road immediately outside the Hotel. The original Port or Burgh Gate played a crucial role in Stirling’s history, because it was here in or around the year 900 that a wolf’s growl alerted guards to the approach of Danish Viking raiders. The raiders were seen off, the town survived, and to this day there’s a wolf on Stirling’s heraldic Coat of Arms.
For nearly two centuries, the Golden Lion Statue has looked down on the “New” Port Gate and King Street, acting as a symbol of protection, strength and confidence. It has presided over many changes in the city of Stirling, the ups and downs, the comings and goings."

From the website; historicdetroit.org/buildings/belle-isle-casino
"One of the first structures built on Belle Isle after it became a park was the first Belle Isle Casino, opening in June 1887. There was no gambling in this type of casino, which relies more on the traditional definition of the word, meaning a building used for meetings, entertainment, dancing and the like. The city’s first stab at a casino was designed by the firm Donaldson & Meier, and offered Detroiters a place to rest, grab a bite to eat or seek shelter from nasty weather. However, it was made entirely of wood, and after only two decades, was already showing its age. With the city’s fortunes and population both swelling, a decision was made to build a new, larger casino nearby"
This image was really fun! It was a really hot day in July when my lovely wife and I drove around Belle Isle during our exploration of Windsor, Ontario. It was a lovely trip and a fabulous place for photography. Have a great day, Rick.

Great Falls is a National Park on the Potomac River with sites in the Virginia and Maryland shores of the river. At Great Falls the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through the narrow Mather Gorge. George Washington was involved with building a canal around the falls on the southwest, or Virginia, side, called the Patowmack Canal, which did not become commercially viable. Remnants of the canal and of a village, founded by General "Light Horse Harry" Lee, father of Robert E. Lee, around the canal are still visible in the park.
This is for my friend Sm@k who is the King of the Silky Water Effect.

So I'll be mentioning this for the next few days if you haven't noticed yet but I do have a Print Giveaway going on over on my Facebook page right now. For more details and everything just go check it out!
Well finally had some pretty nice looking clouds today that you know didn't go away during the evening when I finish work and go out to shoot unlike the past few days. This time they actually stuck around long enough for me to shoot them. Even better was the fact that even with these dark moody clouds the sun was shinning on the other side, that way it gave us a pretty balanced exposure for both the ground and sky. So everything looked just a little awesome today.
Buuuuuuuuut I didn't take advantage of that, at all. I actually shot this while it was somewhat cloudy and there was no direct sunlight on the ground. Why? Cause I didn't like the direction the light was coming from, but I wanted to frame the photo in this direction because this is where the clouds were and where there was a flatish horizon. To the left were tall trees and houses, the right some more houses, plus a bunch of power lines and behind me were power lines and the sun. So I faked the sun light coming in from camera left in this photo instead with a flash. The ambient just acted as fill light cause I also used my 2 stop graduated ND filter for this photo in order to balance the exposure for the ground and sky a little better. Besides that and running around with an umbrella jabbing it into the ground many times thats about all that was involved in this photo. I just took the shots with the umbrellas and composited them all together into this one shot. Did some colour work and decided to make this a tall skinny 16x9 vertical shot and there we go. Not bad I'd say, or at least I kind of like this shot.

So I wanted a SC-28 cord for my camera and flash but didn't want to pay that much for just two connectors and a cable so I decided to make it myself. Didn't have anything important to do this weekend so here is the result. The flash shoe also has the locking hole for the flash so it stays very firmly in place.
First I started by cutting and shaping a piece of 1 mm thick aluminum to get a body for the flash shoe and after that I started building the connection part of it on a prototyping board (dot coppered). After all that was done I assembled them together and filled the hole thing with hot glue to give it some strength (I could have used epoxy for better strenght but didn't have any at hand). The tripod mount is done from a 4 mm thick piece of aluminum and then drilled and threaded.
Camera side of the thing is done from various pieces of plastic superclued together. I got the springs and studs from a flash shoe adapter (one flash, many changeable mounts). I could have used that to make this but it was a bit too tricky to modify and I didn't have one with a ready Nikon mount.
The connectors are PS/2 connectors (or mini-din, used in keyboards etc). I left the cables that short because I can use a normal PS/2 extension cable with this. Cost for this project was 0€ (all the material I used were found by looking around the apartment) so now I can use the saved money to something else useful (maybe a set of cheap wireless triggers). :)
Tools used: A drill press (a normal drill would have been suitable), a hacksaw, small knife, set of files, few pliers, two clamps (to press things together when applying glue), soldering iron.
Edit, 16-Dec-2007: I found my 3-meter PS/2 extension cord and it works perfectly with this. I also did some small modifications to the hot shoe by putting a small amount of solder to each of the pins to make them a bit higher and it now works much better because all the pins on the flash now get a better connection.

Another couple of the earlier images that I loaded up on Flickr that just had a line or two or just a description attached. I like to complete things, especially if the image is calling me to finish that poem.
I will often use props to illustrate these promotions, they all belong to various collections, but the paperback in this case was my mother’s, which she had given me before she passed away. I had told her about the feelings I had sensed at this bridge, so she gave me this paperback by Barbara Erskine that she had finished reading, saying that she thought I might find a use for it….she didn’t live to read my poem…which I wrote later, but that particular paperback will remain in my collection.
So here we are, another two poems:
Morning Glory, which is on the page: Sacred Spaces, Link below:
www.shelleyturnerpoetpix.com/sacred-spaces
I Can’t Believe You Left, which is on the page: Our Stories, Link below:
www.shelleyturnerpoetpix.com/our-stories
Also new on each page of the website is a comment box, where you can leave your thoughts on the work on that page if you like, and which would be very welcome!
Another website pic. I'm happy with the double bass, but not with the bear. Also the set of Bearprints illo's aren't really as consistant as I'd like them to be so there will be lots of fiddling with them.

Bermondsey Underground Station, London, England
Gone for a colour upload today. Its been a while since I went on the Underground getting new material until yesterday that was. I originally went into London yesterday with the plan to get some new long exposure images however the weather was just not playing ball, the clouds were moving but there was just not breaks in the clouds for the images I was wanting. I was planning to go down Underground anyway but I decided to concentrate more time on the Underground and looking at new stations and new perspectives at old stations, it was good fun.
This is a walkway between platforms at Bermondsey Station on the Jubilee Line. I have been here many times but never noticed this walkway before. As far as I am aware its fairly unique in style and architecture as I have not come across one like this before. The bare metal lining of the walls mixed with the bright lights make a great image due to all the reflections and distortions.
Also I would like to just remind all of my followers and friends to get involved in a little photography project that I am currently running. What I would all like you to do is download this RAW file of mine
and basically I would like you to edit it in anyway you see fit, you have complete flexibility on what to do. When you have done, please email me to
info@aaronyeomanphotography.co.uk
Please keep the file around 2mb or less please. The reason why I am doing this is that its just a little experiment to see how other people interpret my images and how they compare to mine. I am going to doing the blog early next week so if you could get your entry to me as soon as possible that would be great. The more that get involve the better :-). Big thanks to those who have done it already.

Information
Bermondsey tube station is a London Underground station. It is situated in the eastern part of Bermondsey in the London Borough of Southwark, and so also serves the western part of Rotherhithe.
The station itself was designed by Ian Ritchie Architects and was originally intended to have a multi-storey office building sitting on top. London Underground have yet to realise this second phase of the scheme.
It is on the Jubilee Line, having been built as part of the Jubilee Line Extension between London Bridge and Canada Water stations. It is notable for its extensive use of natural light. The main station entrance is situated on the south side of Jamaica Road. The station is in Travelcard Zone 2.
The station was opened on 17 September 1999.
Like its extension counterparts, Bermondsey station was designed with a futuristic style in mind by Ian Ritchie Architects. Extensively using natural light, it is built in both a cut-and-cover and tube design. The cut-and-cover section is supported by latticed concrete beams allowing light to penetrate to the platform level. The escalators down to this area are lined by flat concrete with a high ceiling to give a feeling of spaciousness. The bored section is encased with metal to keep in line the futuristic and metallic theme of the extension. As with all other deep level stations on the Jubilee Line Extension, Bermondsey station has platform edge doors for passenger safety and comfort.

I remember one morning looking out of my kitchen window and realising that one of the trees in a nearby field had been struck by lightning by the storm the night before. I've been meaning to take a closer look for some time, so when I ventured outside last night and saw the clear skies, I wrapped up warm and grabbed my kit. When I got there I realised what an amazing shape the strike had created. I spent a good half an hour trying to get a composition that I liked then took several shots; lighting up different areas each time with my head torch. Here you can clearly see Jupiter (the first bright one to the right of the stump) and Pleiades (the 7 sisters). Whilst waiting for an exposure to process in the camera the whole field lit up, looking up I watched as a small meteorite entered the atmosphere. It was very close as I could here it crackling as it broke up and sent fragments in different directions. I've often wondered when taking star shots if a lump of space rock was heading my way!
