With the new job, my time has been much more limited than it has been in the past, so I don’t get out to shoot as much. But that also has a benefit – when I get behind in my postings, I don’t have that big of a backlog! Here’s […]

Yet again, I’m a bit behind in the postings. This one goes back to December 5th where I got out to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 between the USS Nautilus in Groton, and Shaw’s Cove in New London. Also along the way, an Acela came into the picture, along […]
Just got in from a little shooting session with the telescope. Brr, it’s cold out there – but the wind was non-existent and the air was dry. Put that all together, and that means is that seeing was pretty darned good – no turbulence in the air, and no wind […]
After work tonight, I stuck around the Groton area to photograph the conjunction of three solar system bodies – the Moon, Jupiter and Venus – in the evening sky. Luckily the clouds cooperated again and I was able to get some decent shots of the trio in the sky.

Monday I was able to head out and take advantage of some nice morning sunshine. Not only was I able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2, but I also photographed one of the newest US Navy Virginia class fast attack submarines – the USS North Carolina heading back to […]
The day after my last trip to NJ, I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 under some blue skies. The only problem was that I was only able to catch them at the USS Nautilus. But that’s not really a bad thing…
