Just returned from a trip to Rome. I now have so many photos on my hard drive that it's causing my desk to sag. 
Got a tip for us?

Thanks, guys. That is the Seattle-Tacoma Sounder commuter rail. It is stopped at the Freighthouse Square rail station in Tacoma, Washington. The photo was taken in October and the train had one North-bound run remaining for the day.
This is the parking garage, bus terminal and light rail station behind Freighthouse Square.

I keep going back to the same places, to see how they'll look in different light...
Rampside hall, with its wonderful array of chimneys...

I thought as much... Tacoma is awesome
I knew it looked familiar!

I'm grateful that you take the time to share these images of antiquity with us. It is always interesting and inspiring to me to see things that have survived for so long, left for us as memories of the distant past. Art is timeless.
The only thing I don't like are the fences, barriers and signs needed to keep people at a respectful distance. But that will never change, I'm afraid.

ps: Have you solved that mass file management problem that was slowing you down? Libraries tend to only get bigger, as you know...

He wasted even more time by getting his van stuck in the mud near my shack, and needing to be towed out by a 4x4...
Pictures?
~2-3 cheap flashes, a piece of white foamcore board, some black cardboard and a diffuser or two will give you control over the light no matter what time of day it is. Start with a single flash and re-create the light, then slowly add more lighting elements until you get natural-looking lighting that provides good texture, separation and "fixes" the single-source issues. The only thing that's counter-intuitive to most beginners is that the light source will be softer when you move it closer.
Haven't been able to get away from work or the house so here's one last one from a hike over Thanksgiving weekend. Meh.

Yeah it is, i was really pleased with some of the pictures it produces
Never been a huge B&W fan, though I see how some people could like it better with this one
.Really good framing on this one, nice shot!
Another pic from the Paris trip.
Piel Island, yesterday: a little island off the Cumbria coast... with a row of terraced houses, a castle and a pub. The pub's been closed for a while
While I was shooting yesterday, a guy from the nearby shipbuilding company (a huge, controversial concern, military submarines, hush-hush, etc) stopped me and asked why I was taking photographs. "Because I want to, that's why"...
Then yesterday evening, a policeman turns up at my shack, to ask some more questions. To his credit, he looked rather embarrassed... but what the hell's going on? I suggested that the photographers they might be concerned about are the ones they can't see... rather than the ones who stand around, camera on tripod, waiting for the light to get 'interesting'.
The policeman left, having asked a few more obvious questions, and me saying much the same thing. All very polite... but what a waste of time. He wasted even more time by getting his van stuck in the mud near my shack, and needing to be towed out by a 4x4...
Things might be looking up though. Did you see Saturday's Independent...
"Police U-turn on photographers and anti-terror laws
Dont use anti-terror laws to prevent pictures being taken, officers told"
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...hotographers-and-antiterror-laws-1834626.html
"Chief Constable Andy Trotter, chairman of Acpo's media advisory group, took the decision to send the warning after growing criticism of the police's treatment of photographers.
Writing in today's Independent, he says: "Everyone... has a right to take photographs and film in public places. Taking photographs... is not normally cause for suspicion and there are no powers prohibiting the taking of photographs, film or digital images in a public place..."
2010 Calendar Shoot
Just about a perfect shot... reminds me of the old Norman Rockwell paintings. You did a great job of getting all the little men to focus their attention at the same time on the camera... it's a beaut!
