Common frog (Rana temporaria) and a mushroom Clouded agaric (Clitocybe nebularis); island Zealand in Denmark, 17-10-2020.
The image was taken handheld during my own private tour.
Thanks a lot, everyone, for stopping by, for looking my work, for your comments and likes! Always appreciated!

Hydro electricity would be a great way to go in Iceland, but then there is so much geothermal activity on the Island that I suppose it doesn't matter how you do it. Energy is abundant in this part of the world, from natural renewable sources. This is one of millions of waterfalls on this island. In fact after visiting Iceland all other waterfalls have paled in comparison. It the type of place to go if you love waterfalls as there are so many that most in the backcountry go unmarked unless they are monstrous. This is an unmarked waterfall in the backcountry. Many of the most beautiful places in Iceland require a jeep capable of being submerged around 3 feet deep in a river. Some places more. I have a new found respect for the capabilities of modern automobiles after visiting this place.
comparing mobile phone auto night shot (6 sec. long expos. ) and Dslr manual (4 sec. L. expos. ),(both hand held no tripod) problem with DSLR, things look much brighter on its compact screen till you enlarge ( deceiving)
strangely wiith the phone camera, a speed boat passed while taking the shot but still captured no movement ,
both no edit
This collage shows both Yellowlegs for comparison of size, and other characteristics. They were both seen at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Florida, but at separate locations.
... one needs knowledge, a set of skills, good training and a sense of responsibility when getting gas pipes into the ground and making sure that energy arrives at people's homes. This is what we would expect, of course. However, and by comparison, you don't need any of these qualities if you want to become the British Prime Minister. Actually, the moral and intellectual requirements are so refreshingly low these days that any pig having its snout firmly in the trough could apply. And they did. Fuji X-E2 plus Helios 44M-7 at F11.

Compare this with the bald eagle and mocking bird shot. The bald eagle is perched near the front top of the tower. Another is perched about half way down. No one walking the path I was on saw them unless I pointed them out! I love my long lens! I also love my iPhone for getting shots like this one.
Leica M Mono, Leitz Elmar 4/135 at F8. Of course, this comparison to the previous image is not straightforward. It is not just a different and much more expensive camera, the lens has a different focal range and is really old (over 60 years). But I do not think that the previous image, done with a "budget combo", is in any way inferior to this one. In fact, when it comes to judging an image as "interesting" or "artistic" I don't think that the question of budget or not plays a role at all.
Herring Gull (l) and Lesser Black-backed Gull (r). HG - grey back, pink legs, yellowish eyering round pale eye, yellowish gape; LBBG slate-grey back, yellow legs, orange-red eyering round pale eye and orange-red gape.

Kimmeridge bay Dorset on the stunning Jurassic coast. Not a good sunset on this particular day but when the sun popped out for a minute the light highlighted Hen Cliff with the Clavell Tower or Kimmeridge Tower beautifully. The pile of stones found in this position on arrival was an added bonus, maybe put there in homage to the tower? ( at least that's what i'd like to think!)
Lothian MCV 90 lines up with Edinburgh Coach Lines MCV SN19FJA. How wears it better? I still say Lothian's MCV fleet are the smartest of the maufacturers. 24th January 2022.

Leica M Mono, Leitz Elmar 4/135 at F5.6. The settings for both shots are broadly the same (ISO 2500 corresponds to ISO 1250 on the M8) and I tried to edit both images in the same way as well. I am not trying to demonstrate that rangefinder cameras can do animal photography - we all know that other camera types do better in this regard. The comparison is rather between the old and low resolution M8 and the more advanced M Monochrome. It turns out that in terms of sharpness, the old M8 is still going strong. Resolution is more of a problem, especially at higher ISO settings (so, the M8 would struggle with nature and landscape photography). For portrait and street, in fact for all subjects where roughness is legitimate, the old camera is a wonderful tool. The Monochrome can do all of it and is more open to post-processing intervention.

This photo may be deceptive about a size difference--I think the two species are essentially the same size. Possibly a postural difference accounts for the appearance.
Snow and Ross Geese side by side for comparison. I've been trying to get a shot like this for years.
Leica M8, Voigtlander AS 2.8/90 (approx. focal length on the M8 would be 120 mm) at F5.6. Please compare image no. 2.

I have real fears for poor Lisa Gerrard, as for the pianist, he's toast!
It was never like this for Bobby Crush!
Well here is the comparison of the photo of RL and my new pose. Hope you like! I tried to do my best. Adriana, thank you for your patience and cooperation... loviu <3
Here you can see the colouring and bill differences between an immature male and an older male Surf Scoter.
Mill Lake, Abbotsford, B.C. Not sure about the species, at first I thought female Gadwall, but then it also could be a Teal. No other ducks around for size comparison. Thanks to those who helped properly ID as a Northern Pintail. Taken in early fall 2024.

Someone asked me to do a height comparison, so here it is! :D I can't believe how big Aline is compared to Pansy xP Hehehe. Now holding my minifees they seem so tiny! It's weird!

I thought it would be fun to show the direct comparison between two similar setups!

I took a shot of this striped lynx (Oxyopes salticus) mama the other day using my Vivitar (Komine) 90mm f2.8 1:1 Macro. Today, I found the same gorgeous girl still guarding her egg clutch, so I snapped a remarkably similar shot using my Phoenix (Cosina) 100mm f3.5 1:2 Macro paired with a 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter.
Right away, you can see the difference in color reproduction. The word I keep finding is "flat". The depth of the greens, and the subtle undertones of the browns and darker shades are just missing! This Phoenix lens is a really stellar lens, but can't compare frame-for-frame with the Komine 90mm. It's also worth noting the overall level of clarity!
When you zoom in, you can start to see the difference in resolving power pretty clearly. The Phoenix does a darn good job for a stack of glass in a plastic shell, but the shot captured using my Komine a few days back is much sharper on individual details. Both shots are captured at 1:1, but magnification rate does not always mean the image is worth magnifying!
Of course, both of these lens setups are literally decades behind the times and rendered fully obsolete by modern mirrorless cameras, insane 15 frames per second burst modes, and focus peaking, but it's fun to show the budget side of the hobby! You can 100% capture worthwhile images without modern gear and guided trips, you just have to learn your equipment!
This comparison was brought to you at 1:1 by my plastic fantastic Phoenix (Cosina) 100mm f3.5 Macro, attached to a Vivitar 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter. This photo is uncropped. This lovely little lady is around 6-7mm long!
