A small (15-17 cms) blue colored bird that stands out in its environment and easy to spot. The birds are found in semi / evergreen forests and wooded areas and within them often sighted flying near streams catching the flies in the area. The blue is amazing and in the male is quite deep rich and wonderful. Its habitat is usually green or brown and this is so easy to spot, but very difficult to get close as it is a very shy bird.
The bird is a resident of the Indian subcontinent and found much of the country. The male in this picture sports this rich blue plumage while the female is pale blue in color and lacks the black nape on the head. We sighted a couple of them in our recent trip and almost all the photographers were trying to get a shot. The bird was smaller than many of the leaves in that forest, so it was tough to get a shot. I didn't realize I got some good shots till I saw them in the computer!
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
A really small diminutive bird just around 12-14 cms long. It is quite a silent bird and easy to miss and track. The birds are long migrants from South East Asia and Southern china to South India during winters. They are flycatchers and often seen in the underbush and near wet areas hunting flies around woody areas.
During the last two trips we sighted several of them and some of them were quite unmindful of humans.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
A small finch endemic to the himalayan forests and to South Asia found in the Himalayas and parts of Myanmar. This is a small bird maybe around 12-14 cms and always seen in flocks. This is the female, the male has no streaks on the breast area /underside and more less colorful. Sighted around 15+ foraging on the hillside next to our homestay. They were foraging on the ground in the step farms on the hillside and were impossible to sight. I accidentally stumbled upon them and managed this shot after they landed on a nearby pine tree.
The birds are altitudinal migrants and move to lower altitudes during winters from around 2500-2700 m to about 1300 m in India. There are reports of them going down to about 300 m as well (not in India though). These prefer the montane forests and eat a variety of insects, seeds of pine, alder, thistle, daisies etc.
Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback. Much appreciated.
I always thought the combination of CGSY and CMs in CFCLA corporate livery was a neat pairing, and this would be the last time I ever saw it. CM3304 and CM3316 work empty grain 9365 to Temora.
On the return trip for this train, 39 out of 41 wagons derailed whilst descending the Illawarra Escarpment, and destroyed them along with alot of rail infrastructure. The line was closed for 1 week, with full operations returning just a few days ago.

I've had two rolls of Adox CMS 20 II sitting on the darkroom shelf, staring at me, for two plus years now, waiting for me to act. I have hesitated, since access to the Adotech developer Adox has made specifically for this film is often difficult, and it does need a special, low contrast developer to get "continuous tone" out of it.
But yesterday I decided to do some research and I found a couple recipes for copy films in Anchell & Troop's Darkroom Cookbook and gave two a try: TDLC-103* and a modified PMK dilution. This image is from one of the TDLC-103 negatives.
The PMK negs were usable as well, but created less highlight separation than the TDLC-103, so in the future, I will just use the TDLC-103.
Photographed with my Kodak Signet 35, which has a f3.5 Ektar lens (A Tessar formula), and the aperture used here was likely f11 or f16. Talk about sharp - click on the image to see the detail. Remember - this is a 35mm negative! (from a camera made in 1954: flic.kr/p/2mXJWBf)
* basically, TDLC-103 is a very dilute D-23 with Sodium bicarbonate.

This is my shot taken for my " 52 week book challenge " - this week's subject being Macro .
This little cross is 3 cms top to bottom , I stopped down to get a good section of the cross in focus but not too far to have a bit of blur top and bottom .
I will have to add a sight & sound for this shot because the track is called " The sign of the Cross " .

"The Church of St John the Baptist is a well-preserved example of timber Gothic Revival architecture, built during the latter stages of Church Missionary Society (CMS) involvement in New Zealand.
"Erected in 1870-1871, the church sits within one of New Zealand's earliest churchyards, and is associated with two previous churches built on the site in 1831 and 1839.
The churchyard and those earlier chapels formed an integral part of the CMS station at Te Waimate which had been established in 1830 as the first inland mission in New Zealand.
The station was important for conveying new ideas on farming, education and religion to Maori in the Far North, and subsequently witnessed an early signing of the Treaty of Waitangi on the 10th February 1840." ***
However...
It should be noted that whilst the hopes and dreams of the Rev'd Samuel Marsden and the London-based CMS might have been good, the cold hard 'crunch' is that as European settlement of New Zealand picked up speed, disease, greed, cheating and lies led to major breakdowns and ultimately bloody wars between Settlers and Maori.
The Treaty Of Waitangi might have promised much for Maori, but there were two versions of the document - one in English, the other in Maori - and they differed quite considerably...!
There isn't the time or the space to detail what went so wrong, but some of the wrongs are still being settled with financial grants to affected Tribes to this day...!
