A red-bellied woodpecker holding food in its mouth while perched on the birdfeeder. Note: I posted a similar photo a while ago but like this particular shot a bit more.

I had seen this Moss growing on a wall and after a very wet night it looked very fresh is some early morning sunlight.

A beautiful blue bergy bit floats in Hornsund, South Svalbard, Norway.

A bit late for the holiday season, but presented in the spirit of Santa. A weather-worn Limber Pine anchored in granite clings to the slopes of Grassy Top, with the afternoon sun warming its trunk. I'm not sure of the age of the older trees on this slope, but based on nearby trees that I've cored I'd guess this individual might be a bit over 300 years old.

A bit of a wide panoramic shot: well, it's not my fault Loch Shiel is 28 km long. Once again the loch was covered in a layer of mist this morning so I thought I would go up the hill behind our house and see how it looked from above. (I've added a note to the picture if you want to know where it is)

……A bit of bright sunshine to brighten us up! I thought we needed it. Happy Thursday everyone, Alan:-)

Devil's Bit Scabious with drew drops in mono!

28th February 2022 :

A bit busy today, so it's my Macro Mondays theme photo for my one a day.

The card was given to us for Christmas by a friend. She saves all her old cards and is given others by friends and each year she makes her own for friends from parts of her card collection. Every one unique.

Today is : International Repetitive Strain Injury Awareness Day - nationaldaycalendar.com/international-repetitive-strain-i...

And for the Silly News it's : National Public Sleeping Day - nationaldaycalendar.com/national-public-sleeping-day-febr...

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

Fotografen und Schmetterling

Photographer and butterfly

Just a bit too slow to capture an actual resident of this pretty mews in Kensington.

"The word "mews" comes from the French word muer, meaning "to moult," originating from the Royal Mews at Charing Cross where royal hawks were housed during their feather-shedding season. When the hawks moved, the site was converted into stables for horses and carriages, but the name "mews" stuck, eventually describing similar stable-and-coach-house buildings built behind grand London homes. "

#5482 - 2023 Day 3/365: First day back at work after a break is always a bit of a whirl. How apt to find a piece of glass ...

Bit distant again so a fairly large crop.

Many thanks for your comments and faves. Always appreciated.

Milky Way @ Stonehenge, Wiltshire UK

Well I've been a bit frustrated wrt the Milky Way core this year as when it's visible around 3am or so unless it's at a weekend I just can't shoot it as I wreck myself for work and weekends have been pretty crap so far.

I got myself a second hand fast prime lens through mpb earlier in the year and have been wanting to try it out for astro.

More recently the MWC has been 'visible' just after midnight but again far too many clouds most nights. However, the other night there was a forecast for skies to be clearing around midnight so I took a chance but wanted somewhere not to far away so despite the known light pollution I set off on the 35min drive to Stonehenge.

Experimented with f/1.4-f/2 shots and 2-2.5min exposures using the Move-Shoot-Move star tracker I have.

I can't say I think this is a great image and I'll try to convince myself it's more to do with the light pollution (I wish Salisbury's street lights went off at 10pm!) than my lack of shooting/editing skills. However I thought I'd post it just as a bit of a record of my first attempt with the Sigma 20mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens. 14mm would have been better but I'll cross my fingers canon will eventually see sense and let Sigma produce RF compatible glass.

For the record - the image is a composite of a 150s exposure at f/2 ISO100 for the sky and 30s f/4 ISO1600 for Stonehenge.

I'm planning on taking this lens to Iceland in October so wish me luck seeing and shooting the Northern Lights during the few nights I'm there on a Workshop.

Thanks for viewing and have a good weekend everyone..

gracious beauty especially with the thin threads

Vietnam

Went on a bit of a Deer stalk today, as I wanted to try my hand to see if I could get close enough to get a shot, the ironic thing about todays stalk was that the stalked ended up stalking the stalker! something had previously spooked this Buck and we were watching some others near by, whilst our backs were turned this rather inquisitive buck came up behind us and just stood there watching for a good few minutes, once we realised we turned and rattled off a few shots :)

For this to make any sense it would be helpful to have a quick look at my previous picture of the Fire Station coffee shop (and art centre).....

I have photographed the exterior of this building on three occasions now. It is a street photographers dream. Yesterday Kerry enquired in the comments, if I had had a coffee? Well I felt a little guilty that I hadn’t and thought I would rectify that today.

There is currently an exhibition of sculpture by Johannes Von Stumm on in the Fire Station. I took my mother (who is an artist in her own right) to have a look around. I bought our coffees and then surveyed the artwork.....I’m always attracted to the price tags first.....One tag read £42,000 and another read £51,000. Beautiful artwork but not really my cup of tea (or price bracket)......

The pictured bronze was sat by the bar and caught my eye. I went over and looked at it. It was a completely different style of work to the other sculptures. Much more up my street. I enquired of the barman if this was made by Mr Von Stumm as well? .....

He said No. One of the bar staff had made it!!!!!

Heck there are some very talented people around.....

Thanks for visiting.

Have a good weekend.....

A bit of a blur, but I liked it. Sorting out a few old shots...see more on my Blog :)

Please check out my profile, and catch some more interesting shots over on the NEW Blog updates :))

Leica Q2 Monochrom

Summilux 28mm/f1.7 Asph.

Aristocratic and beautiful. Thank you to ~ Finbar~ for helping me with this photo.

This sim is so full of beautiful scenes that you can RP all you want and enjoy the moment with friends or even alone.

Thank you to ~Anu~ for sharing her amazing sim with the Photoclub, we truly had fun.

Sometimes the only tweaking you need to do is a bit of a cropping and adding your name. Thank you Alchemy for your wonderful benefits.

Created for star theme in Macro Monday. HMM :-)

This Torx size 20 bit is almost 4mm across. I have smaller sizes, but this one is teeny enough. lol.. It’s part of my tiny screwdriver bit set that I originally bought for working inside computers. But now I also use it to open parts of the action figures I have that have LED lights. Some of their eyes light up, etc.

Freesias and Lavender are joined by a sprig of Rosemary.

Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm f1.4 with Raynox 150 close-up lens.

Bit different crop of the fishing weir on the Shubenacadie river in Enfield, Nova Scotia.

Bit late now Ted!

Focus stack (50 images) Shot with single off-camera strobe (Godox AD200Pro/XPro II trigger), bare bulb, mounted on overhead boom, bounced off 32 inch white umbrella.

Shot for Macro Mondays - spiral

62 mm (l) x 10 mm (dia)

masonry drill bits differ from normal drill bits in that they have a hardened cutting tip (usually tungsten carbide) that is used to chip/grind hard materials such as masonry, brick or stone rather than cut through the material. The deeply fluted spiral shape that of the bit helps to remove dust and debris from the hole that is formed. Masonry bits are tippically used in hammer drills that use a combination of percussion and rotation to create a hole of the desired dimension

Sometimes described as a wooden Thrup'nny bit this coin was worth 1/80 of a pound and bears some resemblance to the present pound coin having 12 sides and golden colour. I chose this for the "Redux" theme on currency.

Misty scene at Savernake Forest, Wiltshire

Took another trip to Savernake Forest last weekend as fog/mist was forecast. I decided I'd try a different bit of the forest from where I've been snapping the veteran oak trees. There was a bit of mist around first thing but not as much as was forecast and it seemed to disappear by about 2 hours after sunrise. I had just packed away and was walking back to the car when the sun rose above the the tree canopy and suddenly there were light beams coming through catching a bit of mist that wasn't visible until then. Couldn't pass that up so out came the gear and I snapped away for a few mins. I quite liked this one and although I did take some bracketed shots just in case this is a single exposure.

Thanks for viewing and hope you all have a great day/weekend.

I am trying to push a bit beyond my comfort zone and start to try a hand at different types of photography. So please bear with me, I have a lot to learn to develop an eye for B&W photography. It is so different and it is true when sources state when we see in color that it is an entirely different way of 'seeing' to do B&W photography.

I really love the shadows from the trees and the mysterious looking tunnel appearance at the end of the path which made me think, Big Foot must live down there. LOL I hope I got this right but if anyone has suggestions if this might be a 'miss' I would love to hear them :)

Thanks so much for the comments and the favs!!
