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!
Here is comparison showing a capture made back in 2018 at 2 seconds & ISO 5000 and one taken last evening at 40 seconds with the star tracker mount. View large to see the differences.
Note, both captures taken here in Baltimore, Maryland
Here we have the transom of Kaiwo Maku, one of the largest tall ships in the world (361' in length) and passing her on her starboard side is a 18-20' pleasure craft.
Verdict....... absolutely no comparison :-)
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.

Capturé lors d’un air show épique, cet avion de transport tactique polyvalent (37 tonnes de charge, STOL, ravitaillement en vol) impressionne toujours par ses capacités.

Newly hatched cicada. It latched on to an old fence post here at home for the next transformation. It will begin to blacken in a few hours.

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.
Apparently that word means the warmth of the sun in the winter. As glorious as that feeling is, it pales in comparison to the delight experienced in witnessing this scene. I have lost count of the innumerable times I have stood here and photographed this landscape and yet simply cannot wait to revisit and recapture magical moments like this for as long as I can.
Also wanted to share the good news I have launched a Winter Wonderland workshop for Yosemite National Park.

The bananas on the right look to be the perfect ripeness for eating (in my opinion—different people like different levels of ripeness when it comes to bananas). The bananas on the left appear too ripe for eating plain (again, my opinion) but they are excellent for baking or making smoothies. Both bunches of bananas are different in which ways they’re best enjoyed. When I compare my lack of capacity to achieve a lot of great things with someone in different circumstances who has the capability to do things I’m not able to it’s easy for me to fall into deep shame and guilt. I need to continually remind myself God created each of us unique and we have different experiences that shape us therefore it’s not always helpful to compare myself to others. It gives me the freedom to be who God created me to be with unique gifts and abilities and focus on growing in the ways He desires for me—which I’m still working on and probably will be for as long as I’m alive.

My first attempt at developing film at home. For me it was an overwhelming process and I’m thankful I gave it a try. There is so much satisfaction and enjoyment for me to be able to accomplish this despite my fears and most of my days being about survival without having the capacity for much “extra” stuff. Being able to see the final image is so amazing after this whole process. It turned out much better than I expected. I’m still learning.

Snow and Ross Geese side by side for comparison. I've been trying to get a shot like this for years.
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.
Sayornis saya,

One of the troubles with having an easy-to-identify species is that we often/usually don't look at the bird very well or very long—we already know what it is. This came to mind when I saw this very familiar species and I was surprised it had a distinct white wingbar. Do they always? Have I just never noticed? Apparently it is a part of the plumage I hadn't learned yet. I was reminded at our recent Morro Bay Bird Festival by several well-established birders a suggestion to learn the common birds. Not just to know them, but also to help recognize an uncommon or rare bird in comparison when it shows up. Well said!

Though it pales in comparison to his tile shots, I am dedicating this on to Sir Cam, the best darn Cambridge photographer out there.
White tailed eagle in company off some hooded crows. Now you can see the difference in size,birdwise. But also that the crows are not scared of this mighty eagle who I thought was king :-) and in this picture you can see his white tail..
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!
I plan few heads from few companies and plan to match with diferent bodies.
I have found, that looking at pages each time I think of some match, is very time-consuming.
So I have chosen my fav doll companies and made this pic.
Pictures are not in scale, so some of bodies are biger than others, it was mostly done for a shapes, propotions, hips, chests etc.
But all bodies are over 61 cm.
Scratch (bantam Old English Game hen) egg on the left.
Ameraucana (standard Wheaten) egg on the right.
I've heard that first eggs are usually small, so I'm guessing that since the Ameraucanas are just beginning to lay (one of them laid her first egg just before we got her on Tuesday) this is the other hen's first egg. I hope they'll get bigger over time, especially since they're getting lots of good food now.
