Time for the new thread . . .

[Jaymz]

Good morning everyone. :)

[Belmondo]

Okay, Thanks, Jon.

[gjl711]

Aw man.. New diggs and all I got to post today is some busted up tree pics. :(

And really old ones at that, taken with an old HP something or another.

Guys, congrats for new home

[ShaneHunter]

Yay! I was getting cramped in the other thread :-P

[Belmondo]

Here's an old photo from San Timiteo Canyon to put on the wall in my cubicle.

[gjl711]

Maybe we should call today "oldies but favorites" day. :)

[gjl711]

Chief, that might make a pretty good fake tilt shift pic. The track has that model look already. :)

[Harm]

yay, new threads

[ShaneHunter]

yay, new threads

You're even highlighted in the title :D

Buenos dias, señor Jay.

Mornin' Tommy! How's the wing feeling today?

Have you seen the phone ad where the guy is an hour too early for the flash mob at Grand Central Station? Pretty funny...

[Harm]

^ yes, I have, Jay. It is amusing :)

The arm feels better. Far from 100%, but better.

I get a kick out of that ad.......awkward. :lol:

[FlyingPhotog]

Hi Harm.

[gjl711]

Um.. I'm assuming that there are few on this thread I want to see flashing.

[Belmondo]

Interesting thing.....

I updated my Firefox to v 4.0 a while back. I finally got around to downloading a new EXIF viewer, and tested it on the photo I posted above. It tells me it was taken with a 40D. I don't even remember owning one of those, although I guess I did.

[Harm]

Heh, guess you did then, Chief!! Must have been for the day, before you sold it on!

I am still waiting to see what new beast canon releases...

I seem to remember owning it. I'm thinking I traded it in on my 7D. Going to Lightroom, it tells me I have 936 photos taken with the 40D. Many of those are duplicates (because of my lack of understanding on how to use Lightroom), so the reasonable conclusion is: I didn't use it much.

[Harm]

Hi Tony!!

I have plenty of photos with the 40D, well since, I haven't used another camera :D:D It has worked out nicely for me, so far, at least!

[FlyingPhotog]

I haven't consulted the Lightroom Oracle to check my "by body" use lately.

Now I'm curious to see the division of labor.

^I like it Dan. You got all the technical stuff required for an image. Exposure, composition, and texture.

Perhaps a little exposure blend to recapture some of the sky?

You guys are gonna get me going through my train shots pretty soon here. Considering where I live, you would think that I'd have more of them though. A freight is going by right now... slowing down my internet :mad:

Those long, straight stretches make for great shots!

Yellow dot is the house. Faces the railroad. Whistle sign is directly in front of us, so is the switch for the siding. The siding starts/ends here so there frequently is a train sitting on the siding waiting for one on the mainline to go by. There is also another ancient siding that runs alongside the mill. Date stamps on the rails are 1907.

Heaven!!

I would think heaven would be more like the train yard in town.... last yard before the border. And that border being crossed by way of the tunnel under the river.... with a nice road bridge that has a wonderful view of that tunnel. Someday I'll go park myself atop that bridge :D

[Timphoto]

I wish we had trains closer to the house.

The nearest set of tracks to my house are almost 9 miles away, and the feds won't allow trains right now because of track safety issues.

My wife's grandmother lived right across the street from the Delaware Lackawanna mainline in Scranton, PA. It was on a long grade coming out of Scranton, and you could hear the trains coming from quite a distance. They were usually pulling loaded coal trains, and they only moved at a walking speed even though they made a terrific ruckus. About 1/2 mile (5 minutes or so) before a train got to her house, it had to pass through the Nay Aug Tunnel, and that seemed to amplify/focus the sound in such a way that I would always get lots of notice that a train was coming. We visited her nearly every weekend for about 7 years, and I didn't take a single photo. :mad:

[Jill-of-all-Trades]

Easy access to the railroad is great too. This one came screeching down the line... had to stop and drop off some problem cars.

I think I need visual evidence before I believe this statement! :lol:

[FlyingPhotog]

Beautiful shots, as always, Jay. What's with all the unusual markings? And what's with the red star? :shock:

2011 marks the 100th Anniversary of Naval Aviation so many of the squadrons have painted a plane is special markings for occasion. They held the kick off of "CoNA" at NAS North Island in San Diego back in February (http://crosswindimages.com/p830579044) which is where I spent my 50th Anniversary weekend! Many of the squadrons chose to use markings from WWII...

Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure why VFA-204 chose the nearly black paint scheme with the red trim and white "X" on the tail.

The "Red Star" paint scheme is similar to units that usually are tasked with simulating Soviet Bloc tactics in training scenarios and are commonly known as "Aggressor Squadrons." I'm told that VFA-204 has decided to give all their birds this paint job for the time being. Again, no solid reason why though... :(

These guys/gals aren't known as an Aggressor Squadron but I guess if the DoD says it's ok to adopt the paint scheme then why not!? :D

Odd that they would let them go that route if they don't typically play the role.

Funny, but you rarely seen rhubarb anything here. I grew up in the midwest, and it grew wild in our back yard. I actually ate it raw. (That could explain a lot about my eating habits as an adult.)

rhubarb pie.. :shock: My G'ma makes those. Not my thing.

My gram used to make those nasty things.....I took a big bite of one thinking it was apple pie.....YUCK!!! It wasn't. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Those two look like they would like to have each other for dinner.....but can't quite figure out how to swing it.

I thought the same thing. One good squeeze of a talon or one good bite on the neck and either would be lunch for the other.

I wonder if the owl sees a black owl and/or the cat sees a flying cat?

[Woolburr]

It is always amazing to see oddball critters as friends. I think if they were mine that I would always have a little voice in the back of my head saying, "this isn't going to end well for one of them."

Since our earlier discussion, I've been thinking about sequels, and really terrible TV show movie adaptations.

I think I've got a winner:

Sex and the City 3, Maverick does the Kardashians at the Jersey Shore.

[Woolburr]

Well, there are a bunch of Star Wars X-Wing fighters looking for work.


Love the lights, Melody.

Guess they could let Mav and Ice fly them.....and since it is all fantasy....Goose could come back from the great beyond to guide the way.

[Belmondo]

May the farce be with them.

Once the weather gets nicer I want to start playing with some more long exposures at night.

Well, you already appear to have the general hang of it. Those are always interesting shots.

Nice night exposure there Melody.

That's an old shot too. I love it when I'm coming home at night and the crossing lights go on. Can see them from so far away (it's very flat right here) and I always want to take pictures of them. Sometime I'm gonna stake out the crossing and catch them on the down swing. A freight goes by at 1am so it would be nice and dark and little chance of traffic, not that there's much traffic out here anyways. I also want to get a shot of the signal lights with a train headlight in the distance.

Train coming. http://128.173.197.94/railcamjv.htm http://www.nwhs.org/cam/vmt/

Wow.....that is the second train today running a caboose.

This is a favourite of mine. We had a massive snowstorm here this past winter. Started Sunday afternoon and we weren't able to get anywhere until late Wednesday afternoon. Hundreds of people stranded on the highway, the whole county was shut down - the cops literally closed all roads leading out of the city so no one could drive into the storm. Drifting snow played havoc on the railroad. 4 track crews were sent out here because the switch was jammed. All 4 of them buried their trucks in the ditch before they got here. A freight came up on the siding and had to stop because the switch was jammed. Well after dark the poor train guys had to dig out the switch in the middle of the blizzard because it was stuck halfway. The heaters had not yet been installed for the winter. Once they got it freed and set it was just left that way for days until a crew could get out, so every train going both directions had to go onto the siding. And every train had to crawl up to the switch first. I went out to see the neighbourhood in a lull in the storm. Our road was waist deep in snowdrifts. I heard a train coming and waited for it with the camera. Snagged this shot of it as it hit a snowdrift.

Wool....I tried to open that link, but it won't go on my Mac. It tried to sell me a $29.00 plug-in to convert Windows media to Quicktime. I'll just check it in the morning on my PC and save the money.

Till then, it's lights-out time here in the geriatric ward.

I'll see you all tomorrow.

Nighers.

Night Chief.....there are actually two links there....Roanoke, VA railcams.

I'm thinking "Luck" has nothing to do with it... ;)

[Woolburr]

Luck makes Tortilla Flat look like it suffers from urban sprawl.
