The switchman has finished setting the switch position. He is climbing aboard the locomotive that is being re-positioned. The Bailey Yard, located in North Platte, Nebraska, is the largest railroad yard in the world. Image processed with GIMP. Oh yes, 600mm equivalent zoom telephoto, taken from the observation deck of the Golden Spike Tower (viewing area). www.visitnorthplatte.com/listing/union-pacific-bailey-yard/147

The same image which I had cropped for the famous Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Utah. Here are the hikers/photogs who are standing on the edge of the mountain, watching (and shooting) the sunrise. The PIP shows the Arch itself. Image processed with GIMP.

Taken as a test of a 300mm lens on the Panasonic Lumix GX85 (effective 600mm). Hand-held. This was taken in Arizona the day after a "maximum moon", so it is "almost huge". This is more interesting to me, because you can see shadows of craters, etc, which are not so clear in a full-on completely lit moonface. Processed with GIMP.

Taken with the Panasonic Lumix GX85 at full 140mm telephoto, hand-held. (with Micro 4/3ds it is half-frame, so the 35mm equivalent here would be a 280mm telephoto) I used the same lens and camera settings when we experienced the April 2024 eclipse repeat in the USA.

Series of photos taken with the Nikon D700 and 300mm telephoto, hand-held. This lunar eclipse was seen from Prescott, Arizona on a lovely, cold, night. Composite created with GIMP. (be sure to view on black and at full-sized) More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

11 different images captured of totality, and placed in a composite image. Lots of circles for the Sunday Challenge. Image processed with GIMP.

Taken during our 2018 safari in South Africa. We got to see a number of lion groups in the Kruger National Park area. This was taken with the Panasonic GX85 with a 200-400 telephoto, and then cropped with GIMP.
