An image useful in showing that there are signifcant subtle differences among cygnets especially. Tundra Swans (Cygnus columbianus) at a local pond, Kelowna, BC.
The same spot on the Eldred river with high water flows, shutter speeds of 1/20 and 1/640 of a second.
This is Tabriz, a mountain city of 1.8 million, where I come from. My other half comes from a farm in Wexford, and while our nationalities are different and our life together is a continuous exploration of what exactly nationality means, we find almost no difference in humanity.
“Things change everyday, ... With each new dawn it’s not the same world as the day before. And you’re not the same person you were, either.”
Male azure damselflies, Coenagrion puella, and variable damselflies, Coenagrion pulchellum, often occur in the same places and can be difficult to tell apart. These two shots, taken on the same day at Westhay Moor NNR, show some differences which can be used to separate them. I've added annotations to explain - just hover over the picture to see where they are, and hover over each note to read them. Oh - azure on the left, variable on the right!
The blue bar between the eyes, which is mentioned in some books as a distinguishing feature, is thought by some to be unreliable so I've not included it.
Hope that's useful!
(Unfortunately I don't think the annotations work on a tablet or phone. Sorry!)
Scale is everything. Some snowflake are fractions of a millimeter, some are giants. This one? Well, it lets you see the difference!
The large snowflake, from left to right-most edges measures just under 1cm in diameter – pretty much as big as they come! The smaller ones are remarkably smaller – one is obvious in the lower left, but can you find all four smaller crystals in this image? One is incredibly hard to locate. A Where’s Waldo search in a snowflake!
These large crystals are incredibly rare. When snowflakes get this big, their fragility dramatically increases. Only the most stable, calm air can create them. Every time I have encountered a snowflake this large, it was when there was no weather forecast calling for snow, and nothing on the radar. During this shoot, it was actually sunny outside! Thankfully the place where I photograph snowflakes was in shade, but consider this an odd “sun shower” of snow.
The real beauty of a large crystal like this is the puzzle-piece connections in the middle of the snowflake. Some branches grow faster to fill in empty space, and most of the pockets of open air eventually get completely covered by crystal growth. If there is an open space in the middle of the snowflake, air and water vapour can pass through this space, allowing the crystals to grow further and further into it until there is almost no space left.
This snowflake was photographed at only 2.2:1 magnification, whereas most of my snowflakes are shot at much smaller sizes: 5x and beyond. If you encounter a behemoth of a snowflake such as this, you’d only need a regular macro lens on a micro fourth thirds camera, or a set of extension tubes on a larger-sensor camera to make magic. No specialized lenses beyond this! Sad that they are so rare, but they are easy to shoot in terms of equipment.
For all of my snowflake photographs, I use a ring flash. It allows me to change the angle of the camera to change the angle of light in a run-and-gun type scenario, where time is incredibly important. Get the right angle with this diffuse light source, and you’ll get the surface of the snowflake to send “glare” back to the camera. That’s what makes it shine here. What ring flash should you choose? Rather than recommend the Canon MR-14EX II, I’d point people towards the Yongnuo YN-14EX: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1125848-REG/yongnuo_yn_14e... . A fraction of the cost and every bit as good. If you shoot Nikon, I just recently learned that K&F Concept have a ring flash that appears to contain Xenon flash tubes instead of LEDs, and I’ll be getting one soon to test it out and confirm personally: www.kentfaith.com/KF22.008_kf150-ttl-flash-macro-ring-lit...
The Nikon flash is especially interesting because Nikon doesn’t even make a ring flash, and the only other one is a pricey Sigma model. Regardless of e-TTL or iTTL, these flashes can be operated in manual mode on ANY camera body – I’ve used my ring flashes on all types of Lumix bodies and they work just fine.

Imagine if you were unable to touch or kiss your newborn baby. This is an ordeal thousands of families, whose child arrives too soon, too small or too sick, are forced to go through each year. But you can help. By baking and selling cupcakes, you’ll be raising funds to help support families during what can be a very lonely and frightening time, and to provide a brighter future for their babies.
Some facts and figures:
• There is a shortage of 1,150 nurses to care for the 70,000 babies in need of specialist hospital care in England. Less than a third of units have enough nurses to meet minimum standards.
• Neonatal units are working way above recommended occupancy levels meaning there is no safety net for peaks in the number of babies being admitted to units.
• Families of babies admitted to specialist hospital care face a crippling financial strain on top of the normal costs of having a new baby.
• Over half of parents face the prospect of not being able to stay near their baby in hospital due to a shortage of overnight rooms for families.
Cake A Difference is the annual fundraising initiative from Bliss, the special care baby charity. Bliss offers guidance and information at a critical time in families' lives, funds ground-breaking research and campaigns for babies to receive the best possible level of care regardless of when and where they are born. Cake A Difference 2011 takes place from 14-20 February 2011. For more ideas on how you can support Bliss contact katiaw@bliss.org.uk

This is DMU 156411 with the newly painted East Midlands Railways Regional name but not repainted yet into the new livery at Newark Castle Station on the Lincoln to Nottingham route. It is hard to tell the difference but I suppose that it does have hundreds of units to repaint! It was only recently that a new franchise took over the East Midlands Railway network from East Midlands Trains.
Class 156 Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs) are one of the Super Sprinter classes.
This is the church where five generations of my maternal family have been christened, married and buried. I was the last to be christened in this church, my parents the last to be married and my grandparents the last to be buried.
Four years ago, when I went on my "Family Story" expedition, the church was hidden by dark, depressing yew trees.
(See the inset)
Four weeks ago I was surprised and delighted to see they had gone!
I would appreciate a Real critique on this image flickr friends - if you hate it please say so and why! if it should be a different colour - if the colour 'sucks' etc etc. I have been invited to provide up to six images for a little village art display in December - I am just trying to come up with something that the public might like and is a bit different. Thank you and Happy Shooting to you all :))

What a difference a week makes. This time last Friday, we had only found out hours before that we were about to enter a sudden snap three day lockdown with compulsory masks and all the rest of the hard rules. Lines of panic shoppers (no need) had formed all day outside supermarkets. By Sunday, the supermarkets were restocked and quiet and the main elements of the lockdown, to enable swift contact tracing and a break in human contact were over by 6.00pm Monday - this was to prevent the spread of the more contagious UK variety of COVID which had breached containment protocols at a quarantine hotel by unknown means. Masks are still compulsory for another week or so indoors in the Greater Brisbane Area but a majority of Brisbane people are wearing them outdoors too, in the heat and humidity. Well done. It can be frustrating, but think of what the people of Melbourne went through for nearly four months and what the terrible situation is overseas right now around the globe. I am happy to live with this minor inconvenience to stop the spread.

Dave and I traversed all this country a number of times in '65, and I have some fond memories of all of the Nullarbor, just search my stream for Nullarbor...
noted 34 months after the comment below! 29/5/09
See also wasg.iinet.net.au/nulla.html for a bit about the Nullarbor limestone.
"In 2005, The Wilderness Society nominated the Nullarbor Plain for protection under South Australia’s Wilderness Protection Act. The nomination recognised the cultural significance of the region to its traditional owners.
Widely acclaimed for outstanding natural and cultural heritage values, the Nullarbor is the largest semi-arid karst cave system in the world."

Nullabor plain
janhawkinsau.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/the-oondiri-travell...
The Nullabor, the name has always irritated me because it is such an enigma to what you actually find. The vast ancient region was named in August 1865, while an explorer was travelling from the east across the Hampton Tablelands, along the most arid of sections. E. A. Delisser in his journal named both the Nullabor and Eucla. This was how the largest limestone karst in the world received its European name. Its meaning is found in the Latin Nullus Arbor (It seems Delisser spelt it Aus’ style) the meaning is however ‘No trees/plants’. This is a simple misconception as the vast region is not treeless.
To the tribal aboriginal people, the vast plain was known as the Oondiri, meaning a waterless plain, as surface water is not easily found across the ancient karst of limestone. This limestone karst is the largest in the world. It was formed 40 million years ago when the Australian continent broke away from Antarctica and it is also very unstable.

“🚀 “Rocket”🚀”
One of my favorite nine photos posted in 2023 ...
Before I post my “top nine for 2023” photo this year, I wanted to post my favorite nine posts from 2023 and see the difference. I just couldn’t narrow it down to six this year. One bear pic was a video, and two photos were featured therefore shown twice. I hope you enjoy the photos!
Here they are……
Backstory:
One of the photographs I covet getting in Cades Cove, Tennessee, is a deer, especially a buck, jumping the fence.
Timing and position are crucial to getting the shot. Usually, the deer are predictable, and I can tell when they are getting ready to jump. Sometimes, they cheat and go under the barbed wire.
I never really thought about the mannerism of the jump. I’m just trying to photograph it.
This buck drops his right shoulder and puts his right leg tight to his body. He then stretches his body up, up, up. Right before he jumps, he uses his powerful back legs to rocket through the air allowing him to hurdle the wire.
I am tickled I got the shot.

In honour of my arrival...
Newly elected Mayor, Mr. Sadiq Khan, chose to re-name this particular section of the River Thames Walkway. I like this guy. He was saying all the right words in regards to Trump-o-mania in the States. Flattery can work in mysterious ways and so, I succumbed to the prevailing mood and have opted to throw my support and admiration behind this man. It may not make much difference (if any) but, hell! If he needs a guy to run door-to-door in the next mayoral campaign, I'm his man!
Besides, I think Paul's Walk has a nice ring to it
When we embrace the beauty in our differences, we create something extraordinary—like a garden where every flower has its place to thrive. 🌼✨

- Different sound ..., ancient bells ...
Sounds like past emergencies ..., sounding distant illusions in time ....
Sound errors forgotten ....
They sound different .......
- Diferentes suenan..., los timbres antiguos...
Suenan a urgencias pasadas..., suenan a ilusiones lejanas en el tiempo....
Suenan a errores olvidados....
Suenan diferentes.....
