Northern lights dancing over the west bluff of Brockway Mountain in the Keweenaw Peninsula.. Taken during the light of the full moon; It was magical, spread across the entire northern sky.
Sungei Buloh: The copper throated sunbird is gorgeous. With iridescent colours, it can literally change colour in front of you, depending on sunlight conditions.
Description as follows: Male is relatively long-tailed with distinctive iridescent green crown, shoulder-patch and uppertail-coverts, iridescent copper-red throat, purple flanks and blackish lower breast/belly
The ever popular Kilfarrasy on the Copper Coast. You can see more images from here over at www.kieranrussellphotography.com
I've taken a similar picture before but with the addition of some new rocks and some nice light, it was worth another go
I always thought Star was a Red Merle Border Collie. It turns out she is a Blue Merle Tricolour. However, pretentious Aussie Shepherd breeders refer to it as Blue Merle with a Copper Trim! She's a dog not a car! She does look good in the matching coppery beech leaves though!
Small Copper / lycaena phlaeas. Dunwich Forest, Suffolk. 23/07/20.
'SUMMER DAY COPPER, A TREASURE INDEED.'
There were a few Small Coppers favouring a section of track in Dunwich Forest. Males spent most of their time patrolling above the Bell Heather, seeing off any type of flying insect, whilst actively seeking out females. They did occasionally take time out to bask on the stony track itself.
I think this particular individual is lycaena phlaeas ssp. eleus and an aberration called caeruleopunctata.
Caeruleopunctata refers specifically to the row of small blue spots just above the orange hindwing margin.
Apparently the aberration varies from having 1-2 faint blue spots through to 5 clearly defined ones. My image gives a glimpse of only some that were present on this butterfly.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Lausanne, canton of Vaud, Switzerland.
Shot with vintage compact Olympus TRIP 35 & Zuiko 40mm f/2.8 lens with ND2 filter on Kodak ProImage-100 35mm film.
This picture was taken from a vista point near Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. This road leads to the southern entrance to the park and it ends at the Kennecott Mine. The brown color in the water comes from melting glaciers that feed the rivers. We continued driving and saw an area on the river where there were a dozen fish wheels sitting on the bank. It is an interesting area to visit with a lot of history.
Another exercise in Light Painting with a torch.

Found these rare beauties at a Travelling Stock Reserve south of Rydal in NSW. They are endangered and only found in very specific areas, in specific conditions, on specific plants for 2 weeks of the year! I was fortunate enough to see them thanks to the help of a passionate scientist and conservationist at the Saving Our Species program (Dept. of Planning, Industry and Environment NSW).
Here's some information in the PCB:
"The Purple Copper Butterfly (Paralucia spinifera) is one of Australia's rarest butterfly species. It is also known as the Bathurst copper butterfly. It is only found in the Central Tablelands of NSW. Its habitat is restricted to elevations above 900 metres. The Purple Copper is a small butterfly with a thick body, and a wingspan of only 20-30 millimetres. Adult males fly rapidly at about 1 metre from the ground and rest in the sun with their wings parted. It feeds exclusively on a form of blackthorn (Bursaria spinosa subspecies lasiophylla).
The butterfly's life cycle relies on a 'mutualistic' relationship with the ant Anonychomyrma itinerans, and on the presence of blackthorn.

A Flickr friend responded to my Incandescence rendition of the local beech woods by saying that they preferred the calm copper tones that you more naturally find in them at this time of year. I think that’s a good point so I have created a more natural version of a different ICM from the same set (taken about a minute and ten captures later).
So here we have it. The copper tones are beautiful though the bright backlight needed careful handling in the processing.
And then I completely messed up. I started thinking that the natural coloured streakiness of the image made a rather charming abstract. I wonder what would happen if…
I was doomed (and by extension I regret to say that you were also doomed). My brief adulation at having produced a photorealistic image evaporated like a misty morning - did it ever even exist?
The Eyes of Autumn was a straightforward play with that toy of many delights, the Affinity Mirror distort filter. I applied it twice to a copy of the image (both using two mirrors I think) and then blended the result back with the original image using the Glow blend mode, just because it looked nice. And cooked. And saturated. And… doomed, as I said…
For Debbie.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the images :)
The pattern of scratches and the light reflecting on this copper-topped table in Project Coffee looked like a miniature copper sun, so I snapped a quick shot while waiting for my breakfast
Hummer & flowers in 'tooled' copper (?) on black background. Artist to still be ascertained. Private collection.
It was difficult to photograph this framed work. The protective glass had so many reflections I had to avoid via crouching at awkward angles, but as worth it as a hummingbird finding nectar in a flower!

Many thanks for the Comments and the Favs :-)
