Sony A7 - Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1,4/50

 

1974

Rare version from the top-of-the-line 1974 Sansui receiver of the 3-digit series, mostly known as Model 881. This silver version with black applications is the model 9010 for the European market. In the sturdy wooden cabinet behind a thick aluminum frontface there is an excellently discrete amplifier with a sensitive stereo tuner. The power is 65 watt pc into 8 ohms. The 9010 classic device sounds the way it should be - Sansui at it's best.

A city counsel member demanded a discrete artwork showing a woman's breasts be removed from the Museum of Contemporary Art. There was a surprisingly large protest march supporting the museum. I think this guy was on the museums side.

Black Hairstreak / satyrium pruni. Glapthorn Cow Pasture, Northamptonshire. 14/06/17.

 

I experienced the bitter-sweet joy of finding a basking Black Hairstreak when I visited Glapthorn recently. All my photographic aspirations that day were dashed by a mere tilt of the wings.

 

At rest BHs actually stay still long enough for a few images to be made. Having gorged itself on nectar, this one suddenly flew a short distance and landed. The leaf it chose was in an uncluttered, accessible, low position - even better!

Quickly I composed the image in my viewfinder with its closed wings held vertically and all of its body in focus - too good to be true!!

 

Well clearly, it was too good to be true as the resulting image proves. Just as I was about to fire the shutter, the butterfly decided to list to one side ever so slightly, (as they do). Without moving a single leg and holding head perfectly still, it tilted its wings enough to throw them out of focus. Bother!!!

Le Silène est un grand papillon de couleur marron rayé d'une bande blanc crème submarginale rectiligne, avec un ocelle noir discrètement pupillé de blanc à l'apex des antérieures.

   

Il est reconnaissable en vol à son dessus brun et à la large bande blanc crème qui traverse les deux ailes. Au sol, il se pose avec les ailes repliées (très mimétique sur écorces, feuilles mortes...).

   

Le revers des antérieures est marron ocre et le revers des postérieures marbré de marron et de blanc, tous deux rayés d'une bande blanche. Un ocelle noir discrètement pupillé de blanc à l'apex des antérieures est bien visible sur le dessus comme sur le revers.

   

Brintesia circe reaches on average 65–80 millimetres (2.6–3.1 in) of wingspan. Wings are mainly black or dark brown. They have a broad white band at the edge of the basal area of all wings and usually a second white streak on the lower wings. The black eyespots on the underside of the upper wings have a white contour. Brintesia circe is quite similar to Hipparchia fagi, but in the last one the second white streak on the lowers wings is always missing and the eyespots has a yellow contour. These butterflies usually rest on the branches of a tree, protected by their cryptic markings, but ready to take off and fly away when disturbed.

The old parts of Gion in Kyoto take you back 100 years in time. Ghosts of geisha roaming the streets with rich clients and disapearing forever being the discrete noren of high end nomiya.

American Oystercatcher

 

The American Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.

 

The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.

I don't know exactly why, but I like this..

Do you?

For a change this time, tulip hemmed trousers, with a black 5 inches heels. and a touch of Victoria secret perfume vey little and discrete but very sexy and feminine

In Papua New Guinea, there are more than more than 850 discrete spoken languages, and until recently, none of them were written down. Even today, adult literacy sits at less than 62%. In a historically nonliterate society with more than 7000 diverse cultural groups, one of the most popular means of education has been through costume, song, and dance.

2 friends sat watching the sea

When I took this all four (i.e. these two youngsters and the adults) were perched in the same tree. I followed them discretely for about 4 weeks over which period the youngsters had begun to camp further and further from the adults. Then we had severe storms (late November / early December) and the whole family seem to have relocated to, hopefully, a safer space.

 

Isn't it amazing how they can turn their heads through 180 degrees and sleep at the same time!

 

I always found them perched 'opposite way round' like this - so each can cover for the other. Doesn't help if they sleep with their head the wrong way round though :-)

Which is part of what makes sing sings so important.

Renault - Tour de l'Aude 2018

let's just say, madison evidently pisses when she gets nervous, I can't go outside for at the very least a week and regardless of what walt disney told you, deer are actually NOT that friendly

 

oh, and hiding in bushes is anything but discrete

You can't make this kind of pose and not accept the consequences. She is paid to be discrete and her lipstick has a fixative so it won't rub off. Much ;-)

  

I tried to draw the gardeners and mini 3-wheeler van at a discrete distance but close enough to see enough detail. Just about managed it but the angle isn’t ideal. I wanted to show that the men were bigger than the van. They also wore the same colours in the same places as the van!

Happy Easter !

The Pompadour Cotinga lives in the tropical lowland forests of the Amazon and adjacent areas of northern South America, including the extreme east of Colombia. This male was photographed at surprisingly close range and a more normal view is a distant speck in a treetop, or a glimpse from below of birds high in the forest canopy. They are normally quite discrete but on one occasion we saw several displaying males flying amongst the foliage overhead making a distinctive and loud whirring noise with their wings. It is one of three predominantly purple species in a group often referred to as the 'purple cotingas'.

L'observateur ... observé !

Peut-on dire qu'elle soit discrète ? On l'entend chanter dans les roseaux, on appercoit quelques tiges qui bougent lors de ses mouvement et au mieux on la voit furtivement passer rapidement d'un massif de roseaux à un autre.

Depuis le temps que j'espérais pouvoir la photographier dans de bonnes conditions : c'est finalement l'oiseau qui a poussé la curiosité à m'observer !

 

The observer observed ...!

Can we say that it is discreet? We hear him singing in the reeds, we perceive some rods that move in its movement and as best we seen quickly move from a clump of reeds to another.

Since the time I was hoping to photograph it in good conditions: it is ultimately the bird that prompted curiosity to watch me!

Somewhere in the midst of Time...

you awake with a shudder

Discrete dreams embrace you..

Reality clings onto your soul

Your vision lies across the horizon telling you to flee

But Hell's Breaking Loose Tonight..

Where will your final destination be ?

Cimetière de Passy, Paris

traffic can be stressful unless you could find a way to while off the time such as doing photography discretely and carefully . here are some images of these moments

I dropped in at the Apple Store when I was in Sydney last month out of curiosity, and was rather taken aback by the lack of products in shelves. Instead, there were only tables with discrete number if display products and people talking to yellow t-shirted Apple staff. Then there were other people standing around pecking away at their handheld devices. Anyway I took a photo looking up the glassed-in verandah, with interesting reflections.

Après de longues heures de patience, la voilà enfin
