I remember this particular early evening was one of my best experiences of wildlife photography.
I was sat motionless on a riverbank in full camo gear waiting for this this beautiful young Kingfisher to arrive. During the few hours I was there, I saw a grass snake swim by and a fox on the opposite bank who was aware of me but not spooked.
I watched this bird fishing for 5 minutes or so about 25 metres away. I could see he was intrigued by me and being a curious bird flew straight towards me. I was looking right down the lens at him as he got closer and closer. I glanced over the camera in amazement when he actually landed on my lens for a split second. We were both startled and he flew off screeching.
You may not believe this but it actually happened.
Such a fantastic memory.

For this concentration, I wanted to focus on the negative impact of technology. This image represents how phones are addictive and keep us "tied" to them. I wanted to create a simple photo that was meaningful and make the viewer think. (For my reshoot I used feedback and changed the background. I used a more scenic environment and made it more relatable to everyday situations. This shows two people hanging out together yet there is no communication due to them being too attached to their phones and social media. The phone charger wrapping the hand symbolizes how people are prisoners to their phones and how we are stuck to them. I made the colors cold to have a more isolated and sad type of feel)
Totally still, this heron had all it's attention focused on something in the distance.

My first nephew busy playing with the toy I got him. Plastic square and triangles that are magnetized so they can easily be put together. Also note his adorable little man bun his mom made, lol.
Our dog does a trick where we tell him not to eat the treat until we say, "You can have it". Here he is focusing very intently and patiently just waiting to hear these words.
And BTW, now I know how to take pictures of the dog and have him stay still!

not sure what this little chap was doing but he was totally engrossed in it!
hope everyone is having a good week!
(PLEASE NO AWARDS OR PICTURES OR FLASHY BADGES)
And now for the serious side of the studio shoot the other day.
Distraction is a wonderful thing, but without a little handling skill, training and good timing, the treat disappears to fast.

I love the look of concentration on dogs' faces when they're doing agility! I'm sure this is how I've looked this week while I've been decorating.

Auschwitz concentration camp (German: Konzentrationslager) was a network of German Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps built and operated by the Third Reich in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany during World War II. It consisted of Auschwitz I (the original camp), Auschwitz II–Birkenau (a combination concentration/extermination camp), Auschwitz III–Monowitz (a labor camp to staff an IG Farben factory), and 45 satellite camps.
Auschwitz I was first constructed to hold Polish political prisoners, who began to arrive in May 1940. The first extermination of prisoners took place in September 1941, and Auschwitz II–Birkenau went on to become a major site of the Nazi Final Solution to the Jewish Question. From early 1942 until late 1944, transport trains delivered Jews to the camp's gas chambers from all over German-occupied Europe, where they were killed en masse with the pesticide Zyklon B. An estimated 1.3 million people were sent to the camp, of whom at least 1.1 million died. Around 90 percent of those killed were Jewish; approximately 1 in 6 Jews killed in the Holocaust died at the camp. Others deported to Auschwitz included 150,000 Poles, 23,000 Romani and Sinti, 15,000 Soviet prisoners of war, 400 Jehovah's Witnesses, and tens of thousands of others of diverse nationalities, including an unknown number of homosexuals.[3] Many of those not killed in the gas chambers died of starvation, forced labor, infectious diseases, individual executions, and medical experiments.
In the course of the war, the camp was staffed by 7,000 members of the German Schutzstaffel (SS), approximately 12 percent of whom were later convicted of war crimes. Some, including camp commandant Rudolf Höss, were executed. The Allied Powers refused to believe early reports of the atrocities at the camp, and their failure to bomb the camp or its railways remains controversial. One hundred forty-four prisoners are known to have escaped from Auschwitz successfully, and on 7 October 1944, two Sonderkommando units—prisoners assigned to staff the gas chambers—launched a brief, unsuccessful uprising.
As Soviet troops approached Auschwitz in January 1945, most of its population was sent west on a death march. The prisoners remaining at the camp were liberated on 27 January 1945, a day now commemorated as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In the following decades, survivors, such as Primo Levi, Viktor Frankl, and Elie Wiesel, wrote memoirs of their experiences in Auschwitz, and the camp became a dominant symbol of the Holocaust. In 1947, Poland founded the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum on the site of Auschwitz I and II, and in 1979, it was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
