My Fuji XT kit is my travel outfit now, versatile and with excellent results, but most of all . . a lot lighter !

I wanted to sneak a post in here to nab count 10,000. Also to say happy new year and to share one of the most viewed photos from 2016 for me, when photography all began.
Richardson Position by Shane I hope everyone has a wonderful 2017, (and isn't too hung over). Cheers, Shane

Thanks, Alan. Yes, we made it out to Holy Island and Landisfarne. Another fascinating place.

Thinking of the result, makes my load seem lighter. I guess all the miles that I walk with two bodies, one with a 500mm, makes a full-frame Canon with a 24-105mm seem like a light load. Maybe I'll get a full-frame mirrorless some day, but it'll need to accept my EF lenses.

Yeah no birds on that trip, that was before the 100-400 so I was pretty in close. I was trying to show my junior snipers at the time how they could improve their positions and camouflage, and wound up with a pretty stellar stalk shot. I think it's still my most proud image, I don't think I had shared it here yet.

Caught this on the way home from the wildlife refuge yesterday. It framed so perfectly with the silos in the background i had to pull over and get the shot.

A fabulous shot Ed, and it works so well in mono !
Are all those Dash 9s (if that's what they are, or maybe SD40s) really needed to haul the train, or is it a way of getting the locos back to where they're needed next ?

Looks like the newer GE ES engines and they were just moving them. Around here they would just pick up needed power before crossing the mountains, it is nice and flat here.

As Kevin said, its a power move. You can't really see it in this shot, but the last 2 units in the consist are older EMD 4 axle GP units, used in yard and local service, probably heading to the shops at Bakersfield. The lead unit is a GE ES44DC. BNSF doesn't send much EMD power out this way for mainline service these days.

The geese at sunset shot is superb, DC.
So is that train shot, Ed. Happy New Year to all.

I'm determined to try and get more wildlife shots this year.
Taken in Inchbroom Woods, about 400 yards from home, these little creatures are quite happy as long as you don't try to get too near Inchbroom_Red_4384 by Alan Butterfield, on Flickr
