As you know, with mirrorless cameras, getting flight shots is tough with a busy background. In the Z9 firmware update 4.0, they added a feature called Auto Capture. I tried it out yesterday. All you do is set up a tripod, enter some parameters for the shot you want, activate the program and walk away. The camera looks for any combination of settings and takes shots on its own. This one was set up for motion in a defined area of the frame. Lets say, it worked great.
Sky red
Since returning from South America I have been itching to get Inspire back in the sky. After getting through a fairly glitchy firmware upgrade (which ended up requiring a full past 10month FW upgrade process) I’ve had 2 fantastic weekends with the aircraft flying better than ever.
So - here is a little sky-ward intermission from the Patagonia shots.
This one was shot yesterday. The forecast was looking crazy mixed, rain + high cloud. I had planned on going to check out a waterfall in the Royal National Park with a good friend when the sky started to show a little promise. In a hasty last minute change of plans we raced down the road to a location I have visited many many times but am yet to get a shot I’ve been happy with.
At the start things weren’t looking great but all of a sudden the reds turned on. I was busy with the D810 (shots yet to come) but had inspire set-up and ready for take-off. Here’s what I was able to catch before the glorious reds disappeared for the morning.

I got a firmware update the other day and have been practicing with it. The update was for eye tracking to make it faster to detect and focus. The trick is to NOT watch the square and to JUST watch your subject to keep it in frame. I thought a black dark subject like my Boy here would be a good test. What do you think?

Just testing my Canon to Sony Metabones lens adapter after a firmware upgrade - still can't get the tele right, which is a 1.4 extender on a 500mm lens, but performance increased to my liking. Acorn Woodpeckers at my local hangout.
Taken without the tripod and the new Fujifilm X-H1 firmwares extra stabilization, handheld ½ sec shutterspeed. Original raw file can be downloaded here.
I believe (from comments on my last train photo) that this is a DSB Class ME No.1526 train. Was taken in the old train area in south Copenhagen. The tower in the background is the Bohrs Tårn in Carlsberg Byen.
Check out this mini review I made of all Fujifilm gear I ever tested on my blog.

The play bug keeps biting Jasper this week. He's been pretty relentless with his "offers" of play. He is cute and fun though so we let him get away with it. This shot blind on the couch last evening. (his nose seems to be booger-free, right?)
I shot this with my Sigma 18-35mm F1.8. I had not been super impressed with the low light performance, but I upgraded the firmware over the weekend and it seems to have improved quite a bit. I got several "acceptable" shots at f/1.8.
Ops I’ve done it again, sorry Britney. I bought another camera. Jeez, I buy far too much camera gear, there’s a definite destructive pattern I should be alert to it. It’s all down to not getting out and taking photos, I get depressed, I get a little kick from looking at photography gear and sometimes I go to far I buy something. This time I’ve bought another Fujifilm camera, a XH1, it’s second hand and in mint condition. The firmware was still at the base level, had only taken 800 photos and an absolute steal of a price, but I don’t love it yet. I do get affectionate about my gear, but that only happens when it’s part of the magic, when I take that photo with it. Here is photo I took with a camera I now love, my Canon EOS R, it was taken back in November last year in a wood I’m champing at the bit to get back to, and come next week I can’t see anything stopping me. Getting out and about again taking photos will be a lot healthier all round, especially financially.

First time use of the new OMD firmware upgrade: Autofocus subject, "Birds". The software latches on to one or more birds, and the white rectangle in the viewfinder turns green when the bird(s) is(are) in focus. The claim is that it can focus on up to 8 birds in a frame.
I was chasing Sugus, our cat, around the flat trying out the new animal eye auto-focus feature of the Nikon Z firmware. It works quite nicely in my opinion.
.. in Heidelberg welcomes everybody .. and lets you smile .. come and visit! .. btw Olympus rolled out a new firmware for my camera with a new bleach bypass profile .. so this is it :)
Completely did a reconfiguration on my PC ASUS Z390 Motherboard and by updating the motherboard BIOS firmware that is by flashing the BIOS up to the latest firmware, with no problems at all and which I have done so many over the years.
Plus, one good thing about ASUS Motherboards, is they are easy to flash the Bios using their EZ Flash 3 utility that is built into their boards and by using a flash drive to update the Bios with the latest firmware cap file. Which I got all the latest Drives for my ASUS Z390 Motherboard, from the ASUS Website.
This new update has set my Motherboard to allow the TPM chip and Trusted Platform Module 2.0 to be active for making Secure boot for the bootup drive for Windows 10 or 11. So I have configured the Motherboard "CSM" Mode for Boot device Control for UEFI and Legacy OPROM UEFI: which allows your computer to start in "LEGACY BIOS" mode and in "UEFI" mode. And the Boot\Secure Book Option for UEFI Only, to allow a Secure Book in.
UEFI mode is recommended for newer PCs that support it, as it offers advantages and compatibility. Nevertheless, there are scenarios where legacy BIOS mode may be more suitable, for example, if you have an older PC that does not support UEFI or if you wish to use a dual-boot or multi-boot system with different operating systems that may not work well with UEFI and also, some UEFI drivers will not support every kind of hardware that you add onto your PC.
Well, at least now I am happy to say that I have sorted out all my problems and running back up again on Windows 10. And now with all the new updates, I am getting from Microsoft, which is no surprise to me and say:
Great news—your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11.
Windows 11, version 23H2 is ready - and it's free!
Wow!
My ASUS Motherboard is nearly 4 years old and will support Windows 11.
But do ask myself do I want headaches with all the problems that I keep hearing from those who are running on Windows 11 and even I know some are having problems on Mac desktop PCs too?
As young Brother informed me, has he been an IT engineer for some years now.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! how sadly do I miss Windows XP, which I still think was the best operating system for desktop PC users, that Microsoft ever made to this date!
La mission est en préparation depuis de nombreuses années et le programme Artemis devrait coûter plusieurs milliards de dollars. La dernière fois que quelqu'un a posé le pied sur la Lune, c'était en 1972, lors de la mission Apollo 17. Dire qu'il est essentiel que tout se déroule comme prévu, y compris en ce qui concerne le HULC, serait un euphémisme.
La mission Artemis III sera également la plus longue mission lunaire jamais réalisée. Deux astronautes passeront environ une semaine à mener diverses recherches et expériences sur la surface lunaire. Le HULC doit être capable de gérer ce long voyage sans faille.
Le NIKON Z9 personnalisé qu'ils emmèneront sur la Lune ne se contentera pas de proposer un équipement de protection et un matériel différents, mais les fonctionnalités de l'appareil photo lui-même seront peaufinées. Nikon développe un firmware personnalisé qui simplifie les protocoles FTP, optimise le comportement de l'obturateur en fonction de l'environnement, améliore la fonctionnalité HDR et modifie la disposition des menus et la structure de dénomination des fichiers.
°°°°°°°°°°°
The Artemis III mission has been in the works for many years and the broader Artemis program is expected to cost many billions of dollars. The last time anyone stepped foot on the Moon was in 1972 during the Apollo 17 mission, so to say it is vital that everything goes according to plan, including concerning the HULC, would be an understatement.
The Artemis III mission will also be the longest lunar mission ever. Two astronauts will spend about a week conducting various investigations and experiments on the lunar surface. The HULC needs to be able to handle the lengthy trip without fail.
The customized NIKON Z9 they are taking to the Moon not only features different protective equipment and hardware, but the camera functionality itself will be tweaked. Nikon is developing custom firmware that simplifies FTP protocols, optimizes shutter behavior for the environment, improves HDR functionality, and changes the menu layout and file naming structure.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty seven metres at 11:23am on an overcast morning on Friday 3rd March 2023, off Chessington Avenue in Bexleyheath, Kent.
Here we see an adult Female Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), a bird of prey belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, Common Kestrel or Old World kestrel. In the United Kingdom, where no other kestrel species commonly occurs, it is generally just called "kestrel".
Female kestrels are an unremarkable shade of mid-brown, with their upper parts a richer shade than their breast and underparts. Their wingtips are darker brown than the rest of their bodies, and their tails are light brown, barred with darker, almost black banding. Female kestrels’ bodies are speckled all over with mottled darker markings.

When i found this box at springtime this year, i never thought of using this miracle box. my curiosity won out and this was an absolutely drastic experience for me. I was very moved by how easy and interesting it is to take pictures like this. 100 years later, the camera still serves its purpose. without battery, without electricity, without firmware. just pull the trigger, rotate and change film when full :)
aware that we are raping and destroying the earth more and more, this moment with the camera hit me extremely deeply in my mind. with this in mind: let's change the system together!
poor in means but rich in spirit, that is the only capital one can have!
Stay healthy and motivate us to change. Cheers✌
I updated the firmware on the Sigma Sports and changed my Af tracking settings and got 12 sharp shots in a row out of this hawk takeoff. It doesn't seem to work much better with distant objects against a cluttered background, but it's noticably better at staying on focus with a close bird with mostly sky behind it. Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area
Manually focussed, because the SIGMA Macro lens 150mm/f2.8 APO DG HSM (no OS!) did not work with the Nikon FTZ adapter on the Z50.
Perhaps there is a firmware update available from SIGMA?
To friends with Ricoh GRs, firmware updates just released, includes an updated zone focus feature. With new firmware and update, you won't need either duck tape or safety wire. ;0)

This park in Sanya is gone now, I took these photos as they were in the process of taking it all apart on April 30 2008.
All of these "Brokedown Park" pictures were shot on an Canon Powershot S3 IS using the CHDK firmware "hack" to record RAW files, then processed in ACR and PS, NR with Noiseware Pro, also I used the Topaz Adjust plugin to make them look cool.
If you have a Canon digital compact camera that uses the Digic II or Digic III processor you can record RAW files using the CHDK firmware "hack," google it, it's awesome.
By the way at least one person has expressed extreme dissatisfaction to me about this "Brokedown Park" set of photos. I just snapped them on the way home from work one day, excited because I had just recently bought a new camera and "hacked" it to shoot RAW files. But last week some guy left a comment on one of these photos (of a broken ferris wheel of all things) saying that I had propagandized my "report," that it was "not comprehensive," "not real," and he "beseeched" me to erase the pictures. I just told him that lots of people like to take photos of abandoned things all over the world and that every country has such things and that everybody knows that. And I told him to erase his own pictures. So he blocked me on flickr. What is wrong with people? Cripes.

Here is looking at you !! This short eared owl checking out the TOGS and bird watchers at Staines Moor. Fortunately the nearby aircraft taking off from London Heathrow did not appear in the background. Probably one of the shots of the day for me.
I am puzzled by the perfectly straight back and head, but can confirm this is a straight shot not cut and pasted or anything.
The ISO 800 was too high and I need to set some auto-ISO , as it was ok down at 6 feet above the ground where a lot of shots were taken but up in the sky the shutter speed shot up to 1/5000th second. Could have reduced the ISO so shutter was 1/2000th would have been fine. Oh well next time.
But there is a new firmware upgrade for the Z9 so I must get that updated. It has a new bird recognition feature so that could help in future.

After a long trip from Russia to the USA, with longer breaks in a couple of hubs, the Jupiter-9 finally arrived. I went out with it for a quick first impression test run today. The verdict is still open.
Some odd stuff happened with the viewfinder (eye level) of my X-T5 when trying to get focus. There was a very noticeable lag and some movement of the object, likely caused by my body movement, and the lag made it appear quite jerky. I wonder if the firmware update might have messed up the manual focus help. It improved once I switched to EVF only. It's too soon to scream bloody murder :)
Update: The EVF works again as expected. I tested with a few different lenses.
The lens itself has a nice feel. It is the LTM version from 1961. Everything works well, but it smells oily. Maybe it's time to look at some repair videos.

Durch die optische Bildstabilisierung, den Dual-Pixel-Autofokus und die variable Blende werden auch in widrigen Lichtverhältnissen gute Bilder gemacht.
Der Dual-Pixel-Autofokus arbeitet in jeder Situation unglaublich präzise. Auch die Farben werden sehr natürlich und nicht übertrieben aufgedreht erfasst.

I watched this scene for five or ten minutes, but from the other side of Broadway where my view was somewhat limited. There were one or two moments where I could see the blond woman's face, and that should have been the "decisive moment" when I took a photograph of the scene. But for reasons that I can't explain or even articulate now, I did not take the photo at that point ...
And now, days later, it makes me wonder: how many times do (does?) each of us see a "decisive moment" out on the street -- or at work, or in our home, or anywhere else -- that we don't even recognize as such until later on, when we replay that scene in our minds? Consequently, how many such moments are lost forever, at least in terms of being able to share it with others? Mediocre as this photo is, I suppose it's better than nothing; without it, it would have been something that only I, alone, saw and experienced; and like all memories, it would have faded over time.
In today's world of "free" digital images, I suppose it's a good argument for photographing almost everything you see in your day-to-day life, if it has any chance at all of being such a decisive moment. If the moments turn out to be boring or blasé, you can always delete the digital images, and it will have cost nothing ...
Of course, to do something like that, you have to have a camera with you; but while I've been celebrating (in this Flickr album of iPhone6s photos) the fact that an iPhone-camera is better than no camera at all, it is an embarrassing reminder to me that I should have had a better camera with me, and I should have been ready to use it at a moment's notice, even if a particular scene like this one is an unexpected surprise. I've just come back from a photography workshop (about which I'll blog or write separately at some other time and place) in which we were reminded that we should be pleased if we managed to make one really good photo in a month ... and maybe this could have been that one photo for me. Or maybe not. But (a) I won't know unless I actually take the shot, and (b) in order to take that one fantastic photo each month, I have to be willing to carry a camera bag for the other 29 or 30 days of the month even if I never see any great shots to take. C'est la vie.
A couple of other minor points about this photo: I first noticed the old woman about an hour earlier, when I was walking from my apartment to lunch at the Earth Cafe (scenes of which you can see in this Flickr album), and while I "registered" the scene in my mind, I didn't stop to think about it, or consider taking any photos of it.
I didn't really pay any attention to the scene until a little later in the afternoon, when I noticed the woman with long blond hair bent over and talking to the elderly woman, and occasionally reaching out to stroke her face. At first, I thought the blond woman was someone I know, and the juxtaposition of the two startled me ... and then I saw the little boots, which I realized "my" blonde friend probably would not be wearing. Even so ... what I should have done is walk over to the two women, introduce myself, and try to find out what was going on. I'm convinced that something extraordinary was going on, simple and innocent as it may have been, as indeed it probably was. But I don't really even know what was happening...
... because I was on the wrong side of the street, with nothing but my puny little camera-phone. I guess I should be content with the fact that at least I got something, even if it was only a mediocre snapshot of a moment in life.
But I deserve, you deserve, and we all deserve, better than just "snapshots." So I've renewed my determination to always have my camera bag with me, with at least two cameras in addition to the iPhone6s+ that's always in my pocket. With today's technology, even the "advanced" cameras are so compact and light-weight that there is no excuse for someone like me to do otherwise.
In any case, the moment is now past: there is nothing more I can do about it at this point, other than trying to be better prepared for the future ...
***********************************
Sometime in 2014, I created Flickr album for photos that I had started taking with my iPhone5s; and a year later, in the fall of 2014, I started a new Flickr album for photos that I’ve begun taking with my iPhone6, and iPhone6+. But progress doesn’t stop (at least with Apple): as of October 2015, I’ve upgraded once again, to the iPhone6s and 6s+ (yes, both of them) and this new album contains photos created with those camera-phones
In last year’s Flickr album, I wrote, “Whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer, it’s hard to walk around with a modern smartphone in your pocket, and not be tempted to use the built-in camera from time-to-time. Veteran photographers typically sneer at such behavior, and most will tell you that they can instantly recognize an iPhone photo, which they mentally reject as being unworthy of any serious attention.
“After using many earlier models of smartphones over the past several years, I was inclined to agree; after all, I always (well, almost always) had a “real” camera in my pocket (or backpack or camera-bag), and it was always capable of taking a much better photographic image than the mediocre, grainy images shot with a camera-phone.
“But still … there were a few occasions when I desperately wanted to capture some photo-worthy event taking place right in front of me, and inevitably it turned out to be the times when I did not have the “real” camera with me. Or I did have it, but it was buried somewhere in a bag, and I knew that the “event” would have disappeared by the time I found the “real" camera and turned it on. By contrast, the smart-phone was always in my pocket (along with my keys and my wallet, it’s one of the three things I consciously grab every time I walk out the door). And I often found that I could turn it on, point it at the photographic scene, and take the picture much faster than I could do the same thing with a “traditional” camera.
“Meanwhile, smartphone cameras have gotten substantially better in the past few years, from a mechanical/hardware perspective; and the software “intelligence” controlling the camera has become amazingly sophisticated. It’s still not on the same level as a “professional” DSLR camera, but for a large majority of the “average” photographic situations we’re likely to encounter in the unplanned moments of our lives, it’s more and more likely to be “good enough.” The old adage of “the best camera is the one you have with you” is more and more relevant these days. For me, 90% of the success in taking a good photo is simply being in the right place at the right time, being aware that the “photo opportunity” is there, and having a camera — any camera — to take advantage of that opportunity. Only 10% of the time does it matter which camera I’m using, or what technical features I’ve managed to use.
“And now, with the recent advent of the iPhone5s, there is one more improvement — which, as far as I can tell, simply does not exist in any of the “professional” cameras. You can take an unlimited number of “burst-mode” shots with the new iPhone, simply by keeping your finger on the shutter button; instead of being limited to just six (as a few of the DSLR cameras currently offer), you can take 10, 20, or even a hundred shots. And then — almost magically — the iPhone will show you which one or two of the large burst of photos was optimally sharp and clear. With a couple of clicks, you can then delete everything else, and retain only the very best one or two from the entire burst.
“With that in mind, I’ve begun using my iPhone5s for more and more “everyday” photo situations out on the street. Since I’m typically photographing ordinary, mundane events, even the one or two “optimal” shots that the camera-phone retains might not be worth showing anyone else … so there is still a lot of pruning and editing to be done, and I’m lucky if 10% of those “optimal” shots are good enough to justify uploading to Flickr and sharing with the rest of the world. Still, it’s an enormous benefit to know that my editing work can begin with photos that are more-or-less “technically” adequate, and that I don’t have to waste even a second reviewing dozens of technically-mediocre shots that are fuzzy, or blurred.
“Oh, yeah, one other minor benefit of the iPhone5s (and presumably most other current brands of smartphone): it automatically geotags every photo and video, without any special effort on the photographer’s part. Only one of my other big, fat cameras (the Sony Alpha SLT A65) has that feature, and I’ve noticed that almost none of the “new” mirrorless cameras have got a built-in GPS thingy that will perform the geotagging...
“I’ve had my iPhone5s for a couple of months now, but I’ve only been using the “burst-mode” photography feature aggressively for the past couple of weeks. As a result, the initial batch of photos that I’m uploading are all taken in the greater-NYC area. But as time goes on, and as my normal travel routine takes me to other parts of the world, I hope to add more and more “everyday” scenes in cities that I might not have the opportunity to photograph in a “serious” way.”
***********************************
Okay, so now it’s October of 2015, and I’ve got the iPhone 6s/6s+. The the camera now has a 12-megapixel lens (instead of the older 8 MP version), and that the internal camera-related hardware/firmware/software is better, too. Obviously, I’ve got the newer iOS9, too, and even on the “old” phones, it now supports time-lapse videos along with everything else.
I’ve still got my pocket camera (an amazing little Sony RX-100 Mark IV, which replaces the Mark III I had last year), and two larger cameras (Sony RX-10 II, and Sony A7 II), but I have a feeling that I won’t even be taking them out of the camera bag when I’m out on the street for ordinary day-to-day walking around.
That will depend, obviously, on what kind of photos and videos the iPhone6s/6s+ camera actually capable of taking … so I’m going to try to use at leas one of them every day, and see what the results look like …
Like I said last year, “stay tuned…”

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.
These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, a Nikon D850 FX Pro body as companion to my D7200 DX, I travel light with less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 32.822+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site.

**** This frame was chosen on August 20th 2019 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE (Highest Ranking: #256. This is my 141st photograph to be selected, which for me is both amazing and exciting, as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the awesome photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to every one of the 32.837+ Million people who have visited, favourite and commented on this and all of my other photographs here on my FLICKR site. *****

Photograph taken at an altitude of Forty five metres at 12:48pm on Wednesday 16th May 2018 off Sandling Road, in the grounds of Brockhill Country Park in Hythe, Kent.
The parkland dates back to Norman times and was purchased by the Tournay family in the Fifteenth Century. William Tournay is was the first family member to have the grounds and lake sculpted, and after his death in 1903, the land was purchased by Kent County Council, and opened to the public in 1947.

You got to give Fuji a big hand. Not only do they release some of the best mirrorless cameras, and incredible glass, but they also improve their cameras via firmware updates. In all the years I have owned Canon cameras I have seen maybe one or two firmware updates to fix bugs. Fuji Actually releases updates that are feature rich...in addition to fixing things they add features!!!! They do this for older cameras too! On Thursday Fuji released firmware for the X-Pro1, X-E1, X-E2 and X-T1. The X-Pro1...the X-Pro1 has been on the market for three years and Fuji added features to that camera too!
I have not had a chance to properly test out all the new features on the X-T1 yet. One thing I did notice that is unpublished but has been blogged about is the focus speed. I am extremely happy with all my Fuji lenses and the focus speed, except for the 35MM f/1.4....that is until firmware v3.0 was released.
The 35MM f/1.4 is the oldest lens in the Fuji XF lineup. The 35MM is a favorite due to it's super sharp IQ. The lens truly is tack sharp, but for me the drawback has always been focus. It just does not focus as well as the other lenses. Well, that all changed on Thursday. The improvements in focus are so great I have not had any other lens on my X-T1. The actual focal length on the APC sensor is 50MM...not my favorite focal length, but I am learning to love it!
I applaud Fuji for listening to their customers and improving already fantastic products through firmware updates! Canon and Nikon better be paying attention!
