    Title or Location: Coventry Cathedral Priory and Undercroft
    Coventry Cathedral itself was destroyed in a firestorm after being bombed durint WWII. Amazingly though, this medieval and tuodor structure survived despite its very close proximity.I was there on a dull and cold day, typical British summer. The sjies were flat and gray, so no features there. So I tiik it to mind to convert a coolour image to monochrome in Photoshop, having rpocessed it fairly basically in Lightroom first.Not all images work in monochrome but I thought this would.Thank You

    Title or Location: Ellis Square, Savannah, GA
    I met young Miles at Ellis Square while he was doing some rather gymnastic break dancing. Luckily, for me, I was using my Nikon Z7 which allowed me to switch from raw to jpeg giving me 9 frames per second on motor drive. I was shooting aperture preferred and used f/8 the resulting shutter speed was 1/1600 of a second. 9fps sounds fast but I only had 6 nicely composed shots out of 120 exposures.

    Title or Location: Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, UK
    I had spent the better part of the day moving silently through the edges of the chase looking to photograph deer. It was one of those days that seemed perfect on paper: overcast skies that softened the light, barely a breath of wind, and a camera battery at full charge. But nature is nothing if not humbling. The deer remained ghost-like, unseen despite hours of quiet patience and soft steps.By late afternoon my hopes had dimmed so I began the slow walk back to the car. The path wound through

Engine 9350 is a Diesel/Electric Locomotive which was built in February 2012 by General Electric and produces 4400HP which is capable to propel it to a top speed of 75mph.
