The Pygmy Wren-Babbler is an unmistakable, tiny, 9cm bird with almost no visible tail. The upperparts are dark olive-brown with a round spot of deeply yellow on the feather tips, except the flight feathers
The Pygmy Wren-Babbler in Taiwan variously called Formosan Wren-Babbler, Taiwan Wren-Babbler, and Scaly-breasted Wren Babbler P. albiventer formosana, is vocally different from all other subspecies
The Goldcrest , Regulus regulus is Britain’s smallest bird at just 9cm in length, and weighs in at just 5.5g . If not for the fiery orange stripe along its head, the Goldcrest would be a somewhat mute-looking bird, a dull greyish-green plumage and a single stripe along the crown of the bird. Male and female bird look very similar , the most distinctive difference is the crown of the male Goldcrest, which has a tendency to become more prominent during mating displays. The male will bow its head and raise its coloured crest in a bid to attract a female mate during the breeding season.
Goldcrests are resident in the UK all year round and can be best observed among pine forests and very occasionally in gardens over winter. Goldcrests can be hard to spot due not only to their size but also the way they move and climb around trees; one sure way to locate a Goldcrest is to listen to its song, especially when it is part of a group. The collective, high-pitched shrill which is very quiet from a single bird, can help you find them.
This scaly-fluffy mushroom (6-9cm, Amanita crassiconus nom. prov. Bas, Amanitaceae, Fungi, herbarium ADK6189) is typical for African miombo woodland. It grows on very poor and gravelly soils. Its mycelium lives in symbiosis with the roots of the trees Julbernardia globiflora or Brachystegia spiciformis (Caesalpiniaceae). It is used for food in some remote areas in central and northern Bénin (West Africa).
Photographed this bunch in a miombo forest in Katanga (DR Congo, a year ago, January 2015).

I like to experiment with techniques, and have recently tried physically intervening with the film negative. The polkadot series started with photographing a number of buildings using a 6cm x 9cm medium format camera. After processing, I used a 10mm punch and a hammer to knock out discs of film, which I then arranged on a flat bed scanner.
Leica M6, Elmar 9cm, Visoflex, Pan-F @ 32, developed in 510 pyro, semi-stand, printed on Foma 131 and toned in selenium.
This was my first time using 510 pyro, so I figured I'd see how well it performed with Pan-F under high-contrast lighting. I'm very happy with the results. The white areas of the gourd would have blocked-up using my normal developer (Xtol). Here, there's a fair amount of detail and texture in the highlights, and it was very easy to burn in the areas that were too bright for my liking.
Romanesco broccoli - I bought it just for the photo, but it also tastes very good.

Blue swimmer crabs are sometimes called ‘blue manna’ or ‘blueys’. They are powerful swimmers and voracious hunters and scavengers. They are targeted by commercial and recreational fishers.
Blue swimmer crabs (Portunus armatus; formerly known as P. pelagicus) are a tropical species and belong to the Portunidae family. The family also includes other large, edible crabs found in Australia, such as mud crabs.
Crabs from this family can usually be recognised by their flat, disc-shaped hind legs, used as paddles for swimming. They also have nine spikes, called horns, along their carapace, on either side of their eyes.
In Western Australia, blue swimmer crabs can grow to up to 25 cm wide across the carapace with a claw span of up to 80 cm. They eat small fish and crustaceans, molluscs, worms, and occasionally, algae and seagrass. In turn, they are prey for fish and birds.
Goldcrest holds the record for being the smallest British bird. From bill tip to tail they are about 9cm and weigh in at 4.5 to 7g. They breed throughout Britain but we also get a big influx from Scandinavia in the autumn. Being so small gives them a problem keeping warm (too much surface area relative to their size) and the Scandinavian winter would be too cold for them. People used to think that a bird this small could not possibly fly across the North Sea, and some people claimed they had seen them hitching a ride on the backs of Woodcocks. An old folk name for them is Woodcock Pilot. Early names were Golden-crested or Golden-crowned Wren and as recently as 1843 William Yarrell called it the Little Golden-crested Regulus or Kinglet. I always think of Kinglet as an American term as that is what they call this family, but it originated in Britain. This was such a long-winded name that people tended to shorten it to Goldcrest, and that name was adopted by the BOU in 1883.
I photographed this individual in a Sitka Spruce near Holmfirth in West Yorkshire.

Not stopped down all the way the depth of field becomes very tight, which allows many creative possibilities to use the bokeh to highlight exactly what you want to emphasize.
The Leica MD body has not seen servicing of any kind. It still is in very good shape externally, so I don't suppose it was used much. Apparently, the exposure times also are pretty much OK.
