Hey everyone! I'm excited to finally announce I'm back. I'll be having time to log on again, less than before I started the new job but still more than the almost never from the last 5 months, and I'll be back on Flickr too since my office will be complete some time next week. I'm so excited to catch up on all your photostreams and share with you some new shots I'm working in a new moody kind of series I'm making. I'm really excited to create again, and I've missed all of you a ton! Look forward to seeing you all around again, I'll catch up on all your streams over the next month, but for now I just wanted to say I'm back and I've missed ya!
We were excited to embark on a hiking tour of the secret trail in the nearby touring area of Ohlstadt (aka gate to the famous mountain Heimgarten but we intended to hike to a different summit.) We loaded our car with essentials like water bottles, snacks and hiking boots, and set out early in the morning to begin our adventure.
As we started on the trail, we quickly realized that this was not going to be an easy hike. The ground was slippery due to recent rains, and the trail was very steep. We had to rely on our instincts, sense of direction and outdoor app, as there were no guideposts to show us the way.
Despite the challenges, we were determined to reach the summit. We pushed ourselves to keep climbing, taking breaks to catch our breath and admire the beautiful views along the way. We saw few hikers on the trail, which added to the sense of adventure.
After 2.5 hours of hiking, we finally reached the summit. The view was spectacular, and we felt a sense of accomplishment and awe as we looked out over the valley below.
As we made our way back down the trail, we felt grateful for the experience. It had been a challenging hike, but the reward at the top had been worth it. We felt like we had discovered a secret gem in the touring area!
I was super excited to see these coyote pups while in Yellowstone. The den was in the distance, but I still came away with some ok photos. I also got to see both of the adults come back and interact with their pups.
One of my favourite birds is the swallow, when they leave at the end of summer my heart drops and winter is just around the corner, but in late spring I start to watch out for their return, and I still get as excited at 51 years old as I did as a young man. Their return signals long sunny days and warm evenings, watching them dart around the sky, chattering and laughing as they catch bugs and take them to their baby’s. I’ve been so privileged to be able to watch their lives unfold this year as the new house has provided a sheltered nesting site in the stables for many years. This little bunch of baby’s will be filling the sky with chattering joyous fun any day now. I just hope they return safely next year to make our lives just that little bit happier and enjoyable.

I was excited to see the Red-headed Woodpeckers returned to my neighborhood for a sixth year... Unfortunately they didn't stay to nest and moved on in about a week.

I'm always excited to see what new shore scapes the new tidal change has left behind.
In the field of excited sighs
Inside natures open thighs
Grows a beauty, oh so sweet
That my fingers they do meet
That my fingers they caress
Natures defences, i undress
Allowing my sun to now cover
My sweet, wild growing lover
That fills the field with excited sighs
That opens wide, it's waiting thighs
Waiting for my love, to descend
cover it with sunshine, that will never end
I am excited to show you this picture because it is the beginning of December, my favorite month I would believe and what a way to welcome it than by taking a picture with a beautiful backdrop created by .banana peel. It includes the little trees, the floating gifts and I will leave a preview so you can appreciate it better, I hope this month will be one of many laughs and joys for all of you, my little nanuk dog and I will do it, more when he saw me floating in happiness because of the food I think about (? lol

We finally got our Christmas tree up and not a moment too soon. Jasper was pretty excited to see us get the tree out. He gave me a big smooch as I bent down to assemble the pieces (yes, we use a pre-lit artificial tree - the only way to go for a lazy old guy like me 😉) Kisses out of the way, Jasper then ran to get his OddBall which as everyone knows, is the truest expression of the Christmas Spirit.
Pinky bear woke up early! Excited for Mirinda to finish reading her that unfinished story, she prepared Mirinda some
orange juice and made sure she put the story book right where she could see it when she opens her eyes.
Yeah, I get excited about seeing quail. I rarely see them in a photo--worthy location as they mostly are scurrying across the road or under the nearest bush. It was so nice to see this male perched on the fence as we drove out of San Joaquin NWR on Sunday. Thank you Mr. Quail.
On the Iowa side, I think I'm most excited about being able to explore the CN more when I move out this way. Tonight after I dropped a carload of signal parts in my storage unit, I heard the CN local getting an eastbound warrant out of CB. With an SD60 and creamy light, I had to make an attempt on it. I hit my primary spot here with the old code line, but was thwarted by traffic on my super-backlit zoom shot.
we recently re-arranged my 'press corner' into a part of our bedroom for many reasons, but i'm excited, it's now against one wall together, and looks much better. i am so excited and inspired to get going this season! next goal: new worktable!
Another year almost gone.
Excited about 2023? Yea, me neither.

A lifer for me! I was so excited to see this fellow at the pond yesterday. It had been raining all day but about mid afternoon it slowed so I grabbed the camera and went out to see what I could see and get some fresh air. I'm happy to say I had "Big Bertha" lens on too. Honestly, this bird is so well camophlaged, if it hadn't run along the bank of the pond, I never would have seen it. Only with a lot of help from Lightroom can you barely make out what it is now I think! LOL. I also managed to migrate 38,430 raw file photos from Lightroom (and the PC) to an external hard drive. It took about 12 hours! PHew! I organized the whole year of 2020 into months first. Painful work indeed but it needed to be done for sure. Rainy days have their benefits!
I am excited to share the outcome of my latest collaboration with a commissioned client! The ocean evokes power and
a mix of emotions - from melancholy to mystery, every brushstroke carries a wave of emotional energy. Can't wait for you to view the artwork and feel the whispers of the sea
In my previous article, like many photographer, I was very excited about the release of the new R6 and R5 because they offered tremendous advances.
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/50209737163/in/dateposted/
I bought the R6, the Canon RF 100-500mm and sold everything to buy again a 5D mark III
Why? Because the Canon R6 is also that:
1) Delivery of the RF – EF Adapter Ring offered by Canon has arrived 60 days after purchase. Fortunately, my nice store went out of its way to lend me one.
Many customers have suffered this and it is scandalous on the part of Canon not to have integrated the ring in the original box.
2) Prepare to pay (and I'm not even talking about new RF lenses)
- a very fast and robust SD card to enjoy the burst like the Sony Tough SD
- Resistant, I used Lightroom 6 box. To read new raw CR3s, you need Lightroom Classic
- To make the photos look like a Canon Picture Style you need a quality color profile, thank you to Damien Bernal for your recommendations
The choice of an L Bracket is complicated with this screen, Tom Migot has devoted several videos to it.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA25FyekVKY
The R6 is with High ISO but if you want a very clean result, Denoise by Topaze is the best Tool , So, one question: Why have I never needed it before?
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/51296276233
This photo at 12800 iso will be almost unusable on 5D Mark III but never forget that the easiest and most beautiful thing is to take pictures when there is ... light
- The second battery is essential. It is difficult to say how many pictures you can take with one battery but I advise you to double your battery park as well as the charging time.
For years, I shot without ever thinking about the drums with a second in the bag never used.
3) The ergonomics of the R6 disappointed me and brought nothing
- The grip is worse than before. However, I have small hands and the handle seems too small to me. Those with large hands have their little finger in the air and some props even sell a base to add.
I wore for years a 5d Mark III with a 300mm 2.8mm IS II sometimes by the tips of two fingers to tell if the whole thing was balanced.
- The SD card door opens only by friction. There is still a small slot to slide a nail with difficulty, but the 5d Mark III and IV opened more easily with one hand.
The adjustable screen has never been useful to me because its tilt to the left of the device is not practical and even less with the L bracket
Touch has never been useful to me, in the field physical buttons are more practical
4 / A user experience that sometimes disappoints:
- Eye tracking stalls when it is too complicated in the foliage. Does the ultimate portrait of your dreams with a subject against a pretty background require this technology?
- In billebaude if you take your camera back, it will sometimes take a while before everything turns on again. Several times I had to turn off the R6 completely because the autofocus didn't know where it was.
- You see a beautiful sunset, you take your R6, you put your eye in the viewfinder and there… disappointment. Why not keep looking in our good old DSLR?
5) The rendering of R5 and R6 is often very different in appearance compared to DSLR.
More so if you mount a native RF lens.
Is it the technology or the level of detail that wants this? The shots often appear to be very artificially separated, and natural colors like grass are sometimes strange. I know you can change everything in PP, but all of this bothers me and takes me away from the pictorial and cinematographic universe.
My daughter came home from school with a drastically different school photo than I saw for a decade, I got it, the canon photographer (my daughter had asked a few years ago ;-) had bought an R6 or R5 and the schoolyard became a bit strange as « Gattaca ».... Advantage for Eye AF, it’s tea time for him ;-)
6) Let's talk about goals.
The photos of a Canon hybrid with an RF lens that I have seen in recent months made me want to buy a Canon EF 85mm f1.2 II 1 month after the R6. I'm not sure that was the goal. from Canon that we buy back the EF lenses that we had sold second-hand.
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/50806574161
Canon did not lose everything because, to get Canon cash back, I exchanged my Canon EF 300MM 2.8 is II before the summer of 2021 for an RF 100-500mm ...
Why did I do this?
Fear of obsolescence and maybe a follow-up helped by an abundant marketing hype which made me give in and go against my convictions of never buying a zoom because the rendering really has nothing to do with a focal length fixed premium… I sold it 1 month later.
The bottom line of this financially not very pleasant operation is that, as in many areas, if we have the feeling that things will not be in our best interest, it is better to abstain ;-)
What will I miss most about the Canon R6
Focusing in low light, your 85mm 1.2 will get a facelift
Staggering stabilization from 100-500mm net to 1/50 th to 500mm
The focus on the eye, clearly the majority of wedding, sports and animal photographers will never want to go back, I understand them, this is a decisive advantage over the competition
And especially the advantage of having the collimators close to the edge unlike the DSLR
The burst and the endless sorting it generates, the swiveling screen, the touchscreen, the wifi, the gps, I will miss less.
I don't think I’ll buy again this excellent 300mm 2.8 IS II.
I still got the magical 135 mm F2 and 85mm 1.2 , my next wildlife Canon Lens will be a prime EF, surely excellent, not too big (price too) because I take my equipment everywhere, repairable I don't know ...
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/47688762631
Every day, especially since the digital and the Internet, our so-called user-friendly world becomes unnecessarily more complicated and deliberately consumerist.
The R5 and R6 are good cameras and Canon has really caught up to the competition but it's not my direction.
The 5D Mark III is 2012, a century after 1912, my favorite year, in which I have been preparing a photo for a very long time.
What if Canon EF finally became a way of life.

Can you image me being excited by the display of all these warm colors! I usually leave the sun out of my photo but today the colors appeared after sunrise. Isn't this a lovely jetty, but I wonder .... why isn't it symmetrical?
Regular visitors to my photostream will know I'm a fan of photographing spiral stairs so I was quite excited to shoot this one in the Citizen M Bankside hotel back in August.
I thought I might have to book a night there to get some shots of it but I happened to be walking past and thought to myself 'if you don't ask, you don't get.....'. Luckily the helpful member of staff I spoke to in the lobby agreed with me.
From their website : 'citizenM is a new breed of hotel now in Amsterdam, Glasgow and London, and coming soon to New York, Paris, and a city near you. citizenM welcomes the mobile citizens of the world - the suits, weekenders, explorers, affair-havers and fashion-grabbers. To put it another way: anyone who travels frequently and loves affordable luxury. Chances are, that means you.'

In the heights of the island, you will find typical houses of the region in banana and rum plantations. These magnificent estates will be available for rent for residents who want to live in an authentic setting.

- Yours in leisures, Vic.
Just turned 18 today, quite excited. I decided to start uploading images without a border now.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian flickr friends out there! Hope you have a wonderful day!
This picture looks harder than it is because the word was soo long. I had to do it a couple times. By the 6th time, I was able to write the words faster and nicer.

SCOUT: "Paddy! Paddy!" *Excited.* "Paddy come and look!"
PADDY: "What is it, Scout? Are you alright?"
SCOUT: "Of course I am alright. Paddy! Why would anything be wrong?"
PADDY: "Well, usually when you call me, Scout, it's because something is... well wrong... and you need help."
SCOUT: "Oh!" *Puts paw to mouth.* "Well, in this case I don't need help today, Paddy! I am excited!"
PADDY: "Why Scout? What did you find in this pumpkin patch?"
SCOUT: "I found a coach, Paddy!"
PADDY: "A coach?" *Surprised.*
SCOUT: "Yes Paddy!" *Nods emphatically.* "You know, a carriage."
PADDY: "Yes Scout, I know what a coach is." *Looks around.* "I don't see any coach."
SCOUT: "Then you aren't looking hard enough, Paddy! It's right here!" *Points excitedly towards a nice ripe pumpkin.*
PADDY: "That isn't a coach Scout!" *Shakes head.*
SCOUT: "Yes it is, Paddy!" *Nods head.*
PADDY: "No it's not!" *Shakes head more.* "It's a pumpkin!"
SCOUT: "It is a coach Paddy! Don't listen to him, my beautiful one!" *Strokes pumpkin's rind with paw lovingly.* "Or rather, it could be, Paddy, with a bit of magic! It is full of potential! It could be the best coach in the whole wide world, EVER!"
PADDY: "Do you mean like Cinderella's coach, Scout?"
SCOUT: "Oh no, Paddy!" *Shakes head.* "Better than that, Paddy: Scoutarella's coach!" *Jumps up and down excitedly.*
PADDY: "Scoutarella?" *Alarmed.*
SCOUT: "Yes! That will be me!" *Pats chest with paw proudly.* "I shall be Scoutarella, and my magic pumpkin coach can drive me to the royal ball where I can dance in my very best tutu with Prince Peter, who also happens to be mijn beste vriend, and Princess Rosie, who also happens to be Prince Peter's princess! You can come too, Paddy, but no-one will dance with you."
PADDY: "Why not, Scout? I happen to be a very good dancer." *Disgruntled.*
SCOUT: "Well, for somebear who is ancient, from ye olden days when the world was black and white, you are a good dancer, but no-one dances like that any more!" *Giggles.* "Besides, somebear has to play a wicked stepsister!
PADDY: "Scout!"
SCOUT: "What?!?!"
PADDY: "Well it isn't going to be me, Scout!" *Folds paws akimbo across chest. "Besides, how many times must I tell you that it is rude to discuss my age in such a way! Anyway, as I keep saying, it wasn't the world that was black and white. It was the telly that was!"
SCOUT: "That's what you say, Paddy!" *Scoffs.* "Well... what's your magic like?"
PADDY: "My magic, Scout?" *Alarmed.*
SCOUT: "Yes Paddy! I need a faerie godbear to come and transform this pumpkin into my beautiful magical golden coach coach. That could be you... if your magic is good enough that is!" *Nods seriously.*
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Excited by my newest camera. I new when I shot this on my Olympus XA it would not be able to focus close enough, but hey.
Bald Eagles mate for life. The females are usually larger - perhaps the one on the left. She was perched alone with command of the beach below when her juvenile offspring caused her to momentarily "jump" to avoid his erratic landing. Her protests were notable and loud enough to summon Dad who also got in on the act. The youngster found a place to land a couple of trees down.
So the real question on this monkey post is why?
I was going to use it for the Macro Monday Ceramic theme from a couple of weeks ago but it exceeded the size specification of 3 inches ( it measured out at 4.75 in. tall by 2 in. deep) and I didn't like it cropped. The monkey was pretty excited about being featured on flickr and you can only imagine his disappointment when he got wind that I used the Hummel instead. I didn't want to [...bear a monkey...] as the expression goes even if it was my fault the next morning after a good bit of drinking so I felt it best to show him off here.
Ceramic lid from a German 2l stein that I received from an uncle who brought it from Germany around 1900. It's manufactured by Matthias Grimscheid, Mold #1199. It's a big stein so the wording is most appropriate: “Trag deinen Affen mit Geduld, an dem bist du nur selber Schuld.” (Bear your monkey with patience, it is your own fault.)

It's warbler season again, and I am excited to capture new images of birds I have never photographed. Here in Southern California, the season began with more yellow-rumped warblers. Next, the orange-crowned warblers showed up. I heard one on my morning walk, but they were so fast that I didn't get a single shot on the first day. Then I heard their distinct song in my backyard. I tried a couple of times in my backyard, but I didn't have much luck. After several more tries, I saw them again in the same location where I initially spotted them. What I did differently this time was to stay a bit away from the area the birds frequented and waited. After what felt like ages, the birds came back to the brush. They were still hopping around like crazy, but I got a few images even with all the mad movements. An interesting thing about this warbler is that the orange crown in its name is only visible when it raises the tuft of feathers on the top of its head. If you enlarge the image, you can see the orange crown peeking through.
