These completely wild mountain goats are found on Fuerteventura. And encountered them while looking for the Egyptian vultures. Was a little bit sketchy walking past this beast that kept on eyeing me up. I was expecting it to charge as young was near by. But thankfully it was chill with me keeping me distance.

Now for something completely different. There are 3 ways to achieve vortex star trails though all require some sort of composite because otherwise the foreground is distorted.
1) In camera, yes it can be done. This requires that you build a device attached to a motor and gears to grab the zoom ring and make tiny changes to the zoom through a sequence of star field shots. Nobody sells such a device so only DIY. For me, no way, my mechanical abilities are zilch.
2) Take a sequence of star trail images over an hour or two and then in software shrink the image as each layer is added to duplicate the in camera zooming using either Photoshop actions or a script.
3) Take one image of a star field and again use software to duplicate and shrink to get the effect. For this image I went for number 3 using a Photoshop Script which can be downloaded free from liketheocean.com/night-photography/scripts-to-make-your-s...
To get my star field I used a single image taken for a standard star trails shot in nearby Arundel a few years ago. As there were not enough stars for the best effect I used copy of selections to a new image and cloning to get a denser star field and leave out the foreground. The script was run after selecting vortex. The foreground was taken in Lanzarote on a coach tour round the National Park where no other vehicles are allowed. The area shown in the image is appropriately enough called Tranquillity valley. The foreground was layered onto the star trails and combined using a layer mask and brush and a selection for precision

Never underestimate the amount effort that goes into staying completely still for a long exposure shot :')

Something completely different until the end of the year:
I've diigitized a few of my old slides and will show what I used to do outside the insect seasons many years ago:
bursting soap bubble, 1992.

Bis zum Jahresende mal etwas ganz anderes:
Ich habe ein paar meiner alten Dias digitalisiert und möchte hier zeigen, was ich vor vielen Jahren außerhalb der Insektensaison gemacht habe:
platzende Seifenblase, 1992.

==================***==================
All my photos are now organized into sets by the country where they were taken, by taxonomic order, by family, by species (often with just one photo for the rarer ones), and by the date they were taken.
So, you may find:
- All the photos for this order PASSERIFORMES (3553)
- All the photos for this family Sylviidae (Silviídeos) (95)
- All the photos for this species Curruca communis (24)
- All the photos taken this day 2017/04/22 (3)

I completely forgot about all the nice looks I got at this Orange Sulphur butterfly at Whitetail Woods Regional Park in early September. Looking in the folder again just now, I see at least one more I want to save. For some dumb reason I thought THIS might be the time I actually get a photo of an Orange Sulphur's top side –which is a very pretty, pale orange in color, with black borders. Apparently that colorful top side is only ever exposed in flight and never at rest. So far that has definitely been my experience! Dakota County, MN 09/04/22
Something completely different for your Monday morning. Some minimal photography from the sun soaked streets of Birmingham.
Social media is sometimes about being brave and sharing work that isn't necessarily going to be popular, but resonates in you. Over the last week I've have conversations with new friends & mentors who bring different experiences and perspectives to table. Who have a genuine interest in my growth as a photographer.
I'm really grateful for those conversations, they're like food for my soul. I look forward to hearing more, learning more, growing more.
Expect the next photo to be Scotland related as I head north this week. Have a brilliant week you lovely people, thanks for all your support!
and I thought columns were made from long pieces of stone...
Mr Corb took a selfie with these I think...

Hope you like this one, as it was quite outside my comfort zone :)
Something completely different from what I normally shoot. I was out for a sunrise shoot at this location, but nothing spectacular happened. I took some shots from the outside and thought, why not have a look inside. So that was my own Urbex exploring. It tell a story, of an old house where someone use to live. It has memories for someone. And now it's a memory for me too :)
I was completely focused on the ruine (see my previous post) and the lighthouse (will be a future post) and completely forgot the car. But when my son went in the car and turned on the lights inside the car. I think it was a sign not to ignore :-)

The Moon does not orbit Earth in a perfect circle. Instead, it follows an elliptical path that brings it 50,000 kilometres closer to our planet on one side of its orbit. On 12 December, the Moon will enter its full phase, when its disc appears completely illuminated by the Sun, just four hours after reaching its closest point to Earth. This will make it 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons in 2008. It will be eight years before the Moon appears so big again. Also it is expected to have an effect on Earth's tides.
Photo of the moon taken at its closest point to Earth in the northern hemisphere on 12 December 2008 around midnight. The full Moon will also appear higher in the sky than any other year. At this time the moon will shine down from nearly overhead. The landscape of Château de Peyrepertuse is a PS composite. Photo properties ISO100, 1/400s, f/7.1, zoom 648mm and spot metering
Op 12 december bereikt de maan tevens de kleinste afstand tot de aarde in 356.567 kilometer. De Volle Maan van deze avond dan ook de grootste van het jaar. De maan is 14% groter en 30% lichter als normaal. 's Nachts kunnen we de maan vaak zien. Overdag staat ze ook wel eens aan de hemel, maar dan is ze minder opvallend omdat de zon schijnt. In de avond, de nacht, of in de vroege ochtend zie je haar des te beter. Het lijkt alsof ze licht geeft, net als de zon. Maar de maan geeft geen licht. Ze wordt beschenen door de zon, net als de aarde. Het licht weerkaatst en daarom lijkt het of de maan schijnt. Toch is het zonder maan 's nachts een tikje donkerder dan met de maan. Met een heldere, volle maan kun je 's nachts zelfs een schaduw van jezelf op de grond zien! De maan hoort bij de aarde. Met z'n tweeën suizen ze door het heelal, ieder jaar een rondje om de zon. De maan draait ook nog een ander rondje; ze draait om de aarde. Ze doet er bijna een maand over om één rondje te gaan. De maan is zelf natuurlijk ook heel groot. Ze heeft dus ook haar eigen zwaartekracht. Sterker nog; de maan trekt een beetje aan de aarde. Dat merk je aan het water van de zee. Als het vloed wordt, wil de maan het water als het ware naar zich toe trekken. Dat lukt natuurlijk niet, want de aarde trekt veel harder. Maar je merkt het wel! Het water komt dan veel verder op het strand. Dat gebeurt elke dag twee keer. De maan trekt niet alleen aan het water, zelfs de bergen zijn een paar millimeter hoger als de maan boven hun toppen staat! Het maanlandschap bestaat uit heuvels, kraters, zand en rotsen. Waar de zon schijnt is het gloeiend heet; 100 graden Celsius boven nul. Waar geen zon komt vriest het 150 graden Celsius onder nul.
It seems like the Color-Solagon enlarging lenses are almost completely unknown, even among people very familiar with a wide range of enlarging lenses.
Thanks to a couple of helpful people here, as well as the wonderful help of the FOMU - Fotomuseum Antwerpen and its library, I was able to confirm that the Color-Solagon features a 6 elements in 4 groups plasmat design (similar to most of the Componon-S lenses from Schneider Kreuznach), but the only real source I‘ve seen is on the "Color Solagon II 60 mm", which was apparently sold with some of the Varioscop 35/44 enlargers! I wasn‘t able to find a single document on the 70, 80 or 90 mm variants unfortunately, but I‘d guess they were made for a different purpose - either for one of Agfa’s Minilab or some industrial application.
I was able to find some of the Color-Solagon lenses, but unfortunately most of them are in pretty bad shape with either haze, fungus or some mechanical damage, so it‘s impossible to judge the quality in their original state.
The "Color-Solagon DII 90 mm F 4.5" shown here is not mentioned anywhere on the internet as far as I could find at least... I think it might be very similar to the 80 mm variant though.
If you know more about it, or someone who could, I‘d really appreciate any help!

Mare
The final horse in our showcase. Saved the very dearest for last. Digi represents something very powerful for me. She’s not just the FIRST Teegle pet I purchased, but she is a digital memorial to a horse that meant the world to me. There is really nothing more to say, other than she’s one of a kind. Special beyond words. And will always be happily grazing the pastures of my farm.
Digi is a retired equitation horse now full time broodmare on the farm. She’s currently in foal to Bae and I can’t wait to see their baby! Should arrive just in time for Christmas!

Golden Gate Bridge from the Marin Headlands - Marin County, California
This morning I had planned on uploading something completely different, but when I saw the foggy conditions over the bay, I decided to head out to the same old spots along the Marin Headlands. As I have said before, I will never get sick of this view. It will never get old to me, and it will never be the same view twice. Sure... Some elements stay the same. The bridge will always be where it is. The places to stand and watch the fog roll in or out will stay the same, but the light, and fog will always change.
This morning the fog was a bit unusual. When I arrived up at the first turnout along the headlands, the fog was flowing east to west just underneath the center section of the bridge. The fog started to surround the north tower, which normally starts to clear as the air warms with the rising sun. Within minutes, the south tower started to become engulfed in the misty haze. The odd thing for me to see was the fog building inside the bay rather than rolling in from the Pacific. I know this has happened before, I have just never seen it in person.
So this is not exactly what I had planned for the day, but its a special view to me, and always will be.
Thanks for the views, comments, nice notes, bad notes, criticism, or whatever else you all can come up with....

So, as I attended Summer School for my district to get the completely useless "required classes" out of the way, I brought along my new sketchbook.
And boy howdy, am I glad I did.
These doodles are not arranged an a page like this; I dragged and dropped them and rearranged them using Photoshop. The doodles pictured actually span seven one-sided pages (four and a half front-and-back).
These are Things with Faces and People Without. The People Without are my response to my inner stick-figurer-er, and I just like giving weird things silly faces.
A completely new species for this page today... sadly hedgehogs here in the UK have suffered a 98% loss in numbers since the 1950's and we are rapidly approaching urban extinction if nothing is done. It seems very sad for a creature voted the UK's favourite mammal...
When I reached the campground at Rae Lakes, the sky was completely blotted out by the rain clouds and the gales of winds were howling through the lake nonstop. The winds not only made me shiver from its chill factor but also spoiled my attempt to capture clear reflections of Painted Lady and Glen Pass. It was so cold that I had to fetch my 15 degree sleeping bag and bundle myself up in it.
This is a scene from Sarah Seely's production of "How To Disappear Completely." Based on hearsay, nostalgia, and only the finest in American propaganda, "How to Disappear Completely" is a satirical romp through the Cold War, Red Scare, and life in fear of... the bomb. From the desk of Sarah Seely invites you to spend a moment away from the unprecedented consumerist frivolity of today's war-faring United States to take a trip back in time to mid-20th century America - an era when, in the shadow of nuclear annihilation, families bar-be-qued on backyard patios, mothers shopped for the latest in space age home management technology, and everyone tried to keep up with the Joneses. At times bawdy and hysterical, alarming and outrageous, "How to Disappear Completely" incorporates elements of dance, theater, burlesque, video, and just a touch of audience interaction into a series of vignettes set in cocktail parties, war trenches, and grade school classrooms. Cleverly placed advertisements along with the hit music of the day provide the feel and comfort of the classic television you grew up with, and the safety of knowing that while the mushroom clouds are bursting forth outside your bomb shelter, you too can keep a positive attitude and a winning smile. Written and directed by Sarah Seely. With excerpts from “Duck and Cover” by Archer Productions, Inc. and the U.S. Federal Civil Defense Administration, 1951. Choreographed by Sarah Seely in conjunction with the performers. Performed by Amy Baumgarten, Jonathan Ciccarelli, Adam MacLean, Brian Maloney, Flanagan Smith, Moira Stone, and Julie Turner. Music by Patrik Phalen. Video by Nicky Enright. [Photography by Dominique James. Copyright © 2008. All rights reserved. For authorized use only.

A lovely chamois observes me into the night, perhaps rightly wondering "what the heck he is doing, here, at this hour?" :-) ... while the moon begins to rise between Mount Giusalet (3.313 m) and Dents d'Ambin (3.372 m), Savoie, France.
It's impossible to try to explain in words, but the company of these animals at high altitude is something indescribably precious.

The Stoosbahn replaced the older cable car in 2018.
It has been completely new built. The passenger cabins have a barrel form and level automatically to the horizon. So you will always stand vertical and it has not different angles as traditional cable cars have.
Additionally, the Stoosbahn is with 110 % the steepest cable car of the world.

Thanks for all your comments and faves, much appreciated as always.
„Usually completely unnoticed, the drying leaves on the trees in the forest and meadow form bizarre sculptures - and testify to transience and renewal.
A motif that fascinates me completely every year, and runs like a common thread through my photographic work.
A motif that, however, only unfolds its full effect with appropriate photo editing, and is preferably shown by me in black and white.
A motif that impressively illustrates that digital photography - if you shoot in RAW format - is inextricably linked to digital RAW development or digital photo editing.“
„Meist vollkommen unbeachtet bilden die vertrocknenden Blätter an den Bäumen in Wald und Flur bizarre Skulpturen - und zeugen von Vergänglichkeit und Erneuerung.
Ein Motiv, welches mich jedes Jahr erneut vollkommen fasziniert, und sich wie ein roter Faden durch meine Fotoarbeiten zieht.
Ein Motiv, welches jedoch seine volle Wirkung erst mit entsprechender Fotobearbeitung entfaltet, und von mir bevorzugt in Schwarzweiß gezeigt wird.
Ein Motiv welches beeindruckend veranschaulicht, dass die digitale Fotografie - sofern man im RAW-Format fotografiert - untrennbar mit der digitalen RAW-Entwicklung, bzw. digitalen Fotobearbeitung verbunden ist.“
Made completely with scraps, this is an attempt to miniaturize the Vic Viper configuration in the smallest possible size. I found the solution to pilot comfort was having the test pilot in the prone position. I unexpectedly liked this throwaway design and I would like to revisit it soon.
