File Name: NZ6_6420
Seen in flight from below the osprey has white or slightly mottled underparts. The long wings are angled, bending at the 'wrist' which has a black patch contrasting with the white wing linings, and at a distance it could be mistaken for a large gull. This spectacular fish-eating bird of prey is an Amber List species because of its historical decline (due to illegal killing), and low breeding numbers.
It wanted to be a lighthouse, but it was only a modest bulb from a camera flash - and an old one at that. But it had its moment in the sun and was happy.
An unmistakable bird with its black back and white underparts, and distinctive black head with large pale cheeks and a tall, flattened, brightly-coloured bill. Its comical appearance is heightened by its red and black eye-markings and bright orange legs. Used as a symbol for books and other items, this clown among seabirds is one of the world's favourite birds. With half of the UK population at only a few sites it is an Red List species.
My favourite filter box, because it always opens easily. It is made of transparent plastic and I placed it on a light blue surface and worked on layers and blending modes to make it darker.
... when there's gonna be an exhibition by some of "the best photographers from Deventer" and you 're invited to join. Of coarse you say: "yes!". And when there's a meeting to talk about the odds and ends of the exhibition you bring your cameragear. Just like the other photographers. And you meet up at the old centre of the city. After some talks you start taking new pictures....
The exhibition is from August 4 until September 4 in the Lebuinuschurch in Deventer. When you're there, please visit (no entrance-fee), and in the meantime enjoy this image
Cheers!

I have never seen a Low Rider Honda Dax 50cc moped like this before.
There was many funny, interesting and nice Mopeds at this Event with 1400 Mopeds.
Have you noticed the gearstick !? It is the handle from a Katana sword.

Petite pause bien méritée lors d'une balade photo à Saint-Raphaël. Le Bar des Bains offre un cadre idéal pour recharger les batteries (et l'appareil !).
Mon fidèle Leica SL2 m'accompagne partout, et ces moments de calme entre deux prises de vue sont tout aussi importants que la photo elle-même. La lumière du sud, le bruit des vagues au loin, et un bon café... que demander de plus ?

A familiar sight with its pointed wings and long tail, hovering beside a roadside verge. Numbers of kestrels declined in the 1970s, probably as a result of changes in farming and so it is included on the Amber List. They have adapted readily to man-made environments and can survive right in the centre of cities.
Took a peaceful morning walk to an old birdwatching tower a few days ago. The trail led through some beautiful old-growth forests, where the mossy spruce trees created a perfect atmosphere.
A brown, long-tailed bird, usually seen flying rapidly across the top of a reedbed. Males have black 'moustaches' rather than 'beards'. They are sociable and noisy, their 'ping' calls often being the first clue to their presence.

It is really hard to beat this spot in Tremont at any time of year. The trees lean in over the river and form a vaulted canopy. In the fall, that canopy turns gold, yellow, red, and orange. Natures stained glass windows in natures cathedral.

I found this Japanese viewfinder camera from the fifties (probably 1954-55". Made by Shinano. This one is with Pigeon F.H. Coated 4.5cm f3.5 lens. Seems to be a kind of triplet design thou it mikes quite swirly bokeh.
This one is photographed with Dallmeyer Speed Anastigmat 1'' f1.5 on Olympus Pen micro 4/3.
Fungi of the genus Hypholoma are quite well known due to the commonness of sulphur tuft on stumps in temperate woodlands.
One of my favorite things about shooting in the Roan Highlands, are the layers of the mountains, there are options for 360 degrees from the top of Round Bald. On this morning, I chose to shoot towards the direction of the rising sun, the pinks on the horizon and the blue tones in the hills was just too much for this photographer to pass up.
A highly coloured finch with a bright red face and yellow wing patch. Sociable, often breeding in loose colonies, they have a delightful liquid twittering song and call. Their long fine beaks allow them to extract otherwise inaccessible seeds from thistles and teasels. Increasingly they are visiting birdtables and feeders. In winter many UK goldfinches migrate as far south as Spain
This tiny, restless jewel of a bird vies with the goldcrest for the title of the UK's smallest bird. Compared to the goldcrest, the firecrest is brighter and 'cleaner' looking, with a green back, white belly, bronze 'collar' and a black and white eye-stripe. They have a yellow and black stripe on their heads, which has a bright orange centre in males. Like goldcrests, they move through trees and bushes in search of small insects.
The UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familiar throughout the year and especially at Christmas! Males and females look identical, and young birds have no red breast and are spotted with golden brown. Robins sing nearly all year round and despite their cute appearance, they are aggressively territorial and are quick to drive away intruders. They will sing at night next to street lights.

This is what I usually carry with me on longer walks, along with a 2x teleconverter and a smaller camera with a 50mm lens.
Voigtländer MACRO APO-LANTHAR 110mm 2.5
The Voigtländer MACRO APO-LANTHAR 110mm 2.5 Lens is sharper at aperture 2.5 and 2.8 than the SONY 135mm 1.8 GM !
For close-up Photography, I like Photo images like this much more than closer encounters, here you can see more of the surrounding environment. I used aperture 4.0 and it has a very nice bokeh (btw, bokeh is not just about shallow field of depth !)

Kingfishers are small unmistakable bright blue and orange birds of slow moving or still water. They fly rapidly, low over water, and hunt fish from riverside perches, occasionally hovering above the water's surface. They are a vulnerable to hard winters and habitat degradation through pollution or unsympathetic management of watercourses. Kingfishers are amber listed because of their unfavourable conservation status in Europe.
Playing with off camera flash... as you do.
For the gear-heads - The camera pictured is a Fujifilm X-Pro2 with a Fujinon 35mm F1.4 lens attached.
I thought this was my first shipwreck photo, but then I remembered shooting the boat out near Point Reyes, so this is actually my second shipwreck!
This one is down in Florida. It will be the first of a series of 3 images of this beached sailboat from last week. I used the Smooth Reflections app to blend 8 15 second exposures. I was happy to have that app handy since one of my two remote cables that connect the receiver to the camera has died and the other was connected to the second camera doing a timelapse. The Sahara Sand dust cloud in the air made for some really odd light, I think it would have been a great sunset without that dust in the air.
A colourful mix of blue, yellow, white and green makes the blue tit one of our most attractive and most recognisable garden visitors. In winter, family flocks join up with other tits as they search for food. A garden with four or five blue tits at a feeder at any one time may be feeding 20 or more
For most of my trip to Reelfoot lake the skies were overcast. As sunset on Saturday approached, they started to break up, just long enough to get in a good sunset.

Stonechats are robin sized birds. Males have striking black heads with white around the side of their neck, orange-red breasts and a mottled brown back. Females lack the male's black head, but have brown backs and an orange tinge to their chests. Birds are frequently seen flicking their wings while perched, often doing so on the tops of low bushes. As its name suggests, birds utter a sharp loud call that sound like two stones being tapped together. They breed in western and southern parts of the UK, but disperse more widely in winter.

WARNING: Don't try this at home!!!
Note: No real harm was done and the sensor and camera survived the (photoshop) experiment without any scratch or (water)damage 😉 Thanks for your concerns...
Thank you very much for your time, faves and comments. It's much appreciated.
Happy Macro Mondays
The Chicago Harbor Lighthouse. I used the Smooth Reflections App to shoot 256 frames to simulate the long Exposure.
This photo uses long exposure to capture the passage of time and the motion of a historical landmark or moment. The result is an artistic representation that conveys a sense of movement and continuity, offering a unique and immersive visual journey through history.
