The Cackling Goose, the one on the right. Is a smaller compact version of the Canada Goose, the one on the left. Bucks County PA.
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

Comparing AI-generated images with real photographs can be quite fascinating. Here are a few aspects to consider:
Realism
Photographs: Real photos capture the world as it is, with all its imperfections, nuances, and natural lighting.
AI Images: These can be incredibly realistic, but they may sometimes lack the subtle imperfections and natural lighting that real photos have.
Creativity
AI Images: AI can generate highly creative and imaginative visuals that don't exist in reality, which is great for artistic and conceptual purposes.
Photographs: Limited to what can be physically captured by the camera in the real world.
Detail
Photographs: Offer natural and intricate details that are true to life.
AI Images: Can be detailed as well, but sometimes the details may look artificial or too perfect.
Use Cases
Photographs: Best for documentation, realism, and capturing specific moments.
AI Images: Ideal for creative projects, concepts, and situations where real photos may not be possible or practical.
While AI-generated images can be impressive and useful in many contexts, they still can’t fully replicate the authenticity and natural beauty of real photographs. Have you tried using AI to create images before, or are you considering it? I know where my allegiances lie... its real photography and Flickr has a huge example of each
... 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.
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.
Size: 95-110 cm
Weight: 6-11 kg
Wingspan: 240-280 cm
Life expectancy: up to 37 years in captivity
Features:
The Griffon vulture is sand-coloured to dark brown, with a white head, neck and ruff. The primary- and tail feathers are dark brown to black. Young birds have a brown ruff and are darker in colour. The wings are long and wide and are resemble fingers.
Distribution:
Following a decline in the 20th century by poisoning, hunting and decreasing of food supplies, in recent year the species has increased dramatically in some areas, particularly in Spain, the French Pyrenees and Portugal. In Europe, the breeding population is between 19.000 and 21.000 pairs, with around 17.500 pairs in Spain and approximately 600 in France.
Behavior:
The Griffon vulture feeds mainly on the softer parts of carcasses, such as the muscles and viscera. Because of it’s long neck, this species can reach far into the carcass without snagging. Griffon vultures are very social in comparison to other vulture species. They forage in groups and breed in colonies on steep cliffs.

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!)
A Neotropic cormorant on the left (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) and a Double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) on the right. The size difference is clearly apparent. Always interesting to get two different versions of the same species in the same image. There are arguably 40 different species of the cormorant / shag species.

i shot this again with the nikkor lens so i would have a direct comparison to the same panoramic shot taken with the samyang 14mm. which do you prefer??
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band's 1978 hit rings true as a comparison to the Mainline of Mid-America. Despite life's constant change, one can still make the jaunt to the CN Chicago Subdivision and see glimpses of the former railroad as it was. CN job L555, Gilman to Otto and return, is northbound at Ashkum with the 1034, delivered to the IC a mere 5 months before Canadian National's acquisition.
After the passage of nearly 27 years and with CN's sprawling 20,000 mile rail network, it truly is amazing that a majority of these IC locomotives stay right where they were meant to be - their home.
While out for a drive yesterday I found this Male and Female Osprey tucked down in the low ground seeking a break from a windy day. It is a crappy distant shot, I had problems trying to keep the camera steady as it was windy, but I figured I should take a shot anyways because with them both in the same tree I could clearly see the size difference between the male and the female. Female is above, also the females have speckled brown necklace (but I have read so do some of the males) In this case size tells who is who!
Yup. Pretty cool. PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVE!

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.
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.
If you'd prefer something a little more dramatic for your Wednesday morning, watch this.
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.
HORACIO PATRONE : NIKON D 7000 -NIKON MICRO 55 2.8 . fotografia Horacio Patrone.. BUENOS AIRES...( ARGENTINA ) . . -The most striking aspect of the northern barrios (Retiro, Recoleta, Palermo), especially in comparison with their less affluent southern counterpart. .buenosaires.for91days.com/2011/03/10/the-carlos-thays-bot...
The Sonoran Desert as currently defined covers approximately 100,000 square miles (260,000 sq. km.) and includes most of the southern half of Arizona, southeastern California, most of the Baja California peninsula, the islands of the Gulf of California, and much of the state of Sonora, Mexico. It is lush in comparison to most other deserts. Two visually dominant life forms of plants distinguish the Sonoran Desert from the other North American deserts: legume trees and columnar cacti. It also supports many other life forms encompassing a rich spectrum of some 2,000 species of plants.
The amount and seasonality of rainfall are defining characteristics of the Sonoran Desert. Much of the area has a biseasonal rainfall pattern, though even during the rainy seasons most days are sunny. From December to March frontal storms from North Pacific Ocean occasionally bring widespread, gentle rain to the northwestern areas. From July to mid-September, the summer monsoon brings surges of wet tropical air and frequent but localized violent thunderstorms.
The Sonoran Desert prominently differs from the other three North American Deserts in having mild winters; most of the area rarely experiences frost. About half of the biota is tropical in origin, with life cycles attuned to the brief summer rainy season. The winter rains, when ample, produce huge populations of annuals (which comprise half of the species in our flora).
