This was captured with the Rodenstock 70mm/5.6 HR Digaron-W lens and the Phase One IQ3-100 back. A bit of vertical shift was used to keep everything straight. A 1/2 sec exposure provided just the right amount of motion blur for the passing train.
The power plant generates electricity (now oil fired, converted from coal) as well as steam for Philly's Center City steam loop. The rail bridge extends the former Pennsylvania Railroad's "High Line" into south Philly's Greenwich rail yard.

I shot several versions of this, with exposures that kept the moving train sharp or blurred it to varying degrees. I think this was the most successful attempt, with the train blurred enough to suggest motion, but not so much that it's unrecognizable.
Motion can be a central part of a still photograph.

Power plants are often regarded as utilitarian eyesores, and are rarely (generally under public pressure) built to look beautiful or interesting, (London's Battersea Power Station was an exception). Generally, like here, any beauty to be found is accidental, a direct consequence of interesting form happening to follow from function.

Hanno chiuso lo show di Jimmy Kimmel per una frase su Kirk. Ma l’America non era mica il paese della libertà di parola? O della libertà in generale? Non ditemi che era una facciata.

Stanotte mi sono sognato che guidavo uno scooter volante, rosso, molto simile a un maiale¹, rimanendo a 2 metri sopra la carreggiata per evitare che qualche furgone mi tagliasse la strada.
Non chiedete che propulsione avesse, che non ho aperto il cofano, però aveva pure i freni e poteva star fermo a mezz'aria.
Figata, quando uscirà lo comprerò!

Dal #Salento alla #Toscana nord-ovest, questa piccola Quercia Vallonea, figlia o nipote della Quercia dei Cento Cavalieri, si sta finalmente ricalibrando al clima locale: penso abbia visto più acqua quest'anno che in tutto il resto della sua vita 😁🌱💧

Figlia minore quando ride tantissimo da farsi venire le lacrime dice che ride a crepapancia. E secondo me è bellissimo, più bello di crepapelle.
