And thank you my sweet friends for all the tricks and tips that you give me !! Love you all ♥ and specially Natsu who helped me started... ♥
Here is a photo of that elusive optical phenomenon known as the green flash. It usually occurs around sunset and can be enhanced when a mirage stretches the sun to produce discs above the true sun. The light is refracted through the atmosphere and green is the last visible colour of the spectrum before the light disappears. It is usually a short-lived phenomenon, hence the term flash. I apologise to all those who view my photos that are afflicted by red/green colour-blindness as I understand the green upper stripe looks just the same as the orange-yellow lower stripes. The gene for red/green colour-blindness is recessive, and is carried on the X sex chromosome. In mammals, males have just a single X chromosome, and an empty Y chromosome, whereas females have a pair of X chromosomes. If males carry a copy of this gene it will manifest itself and the carrier will be red/green colour-blind. But if females carry a copy, its effects will be masked by a normal (dominant) gene on the other X chromosome, and their vision will be normal. Females would need a copy of the colour-blindness gene on both X chromosomes to be afflicted by colour-blindness. This is why colour-blindness is so much more frequent in males.

Same individual as this previous shot.
I was chasing Autumn Meadowhawk dragonflies in the fallen leaves near a pond at the Montreal Botanical Garden, when I unexpectedly came across this Spotted Spreadwing (Lestes congener) damselfly! It's one of my favorite species, and this individual was calm and fairly cooperative.
Usual suspects: Pentax D-FA 100mm F/2.8 WR Macro plus Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Godox V850ii flash. Six-frame handheld focus stack with EXIF from the first frame. ~20MP free crop to roughly 16:10 apect ratio.

A crested pigeon in late afternoon sunlight showing off the iridescence on the wings. In taking this shot, I got down as low as I could using the official Ben Dover method and accidentally held up some people driving through the car park I was in who saw me attempting to take some shots across the carpark itself. Very kind of them to stop and wait - turned out to be photographers themselves!
This was taken in Port Pirie and I have never seen quite so many of these crested pigeons in one location before.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
The "sardine" flash-mob is born from the idea of being all squeezed in the square: many, tight as sardines in a can, supporting values such as democracy, freedom, solidarity, Europe
Flash is looking up at a pack of cards that I am shaking so he looks at them and then I can take his picture. 9:47pm, Friday the 16th of August, 2024.
Let's get it out of the way. Let's be boldfaced about it. Er, wait, that was italicized. Trying again...
Let's be boldfaced about it.
Flowers. Are. Sexy.
They just are. You glimpse a flower, you see hints, tastes, touches of... well, other things. Naughty bits. Pink parts. Sweet spots.
Like in this photo, someone's pulling back the white sheet to show off her...
Uhh, tentacles, I guess. And they're not pink, but they're yellow. Like egg yolk.
Um. Well. Er.
Maybe flowers aren't sexy? Uhhh. Gotta go!
The light festival in Ghent had just ended. Well, then you have to do it yourself with the help of a car and a bicycle. 😉
Big kudos to Tracy here. It was quite frankly, bloody freezing. But you know, we both knew it would look cool. So there she sits, on the kerbstone as I set up some lights, watching me trying to avoid the silly tool doing their driving lesson up and down the empty street otherwise known as our set, wrapped in my fleece, texting her friends planning her night out. And I was smiling.
Tracy rocks you know. She partys hard, often.Party girls have never been my thing, I wouldn't know how to do a night out clubbing and falling around in the street with your mates if you hit me round the head with it, but underneath all that there's a very cool person hanging around. And sat there, shooting this that night taught me one thing. You can't lable people. It doesn't matter whether Tracy was an emo kid, some uptight stiff, a party girl or the stay at home quietly type, underneath it all, underneath all of us and our lables, there's someone unique.
If I set out with these photos to try and capture personalities and the real people inside, then I needed to try and learn how to myself. How to peel back the layers and find that real person. I dunno if I've managed it, or if I ever will, but at least trying, and learning a little bit, makes me and my pictures, that little bit richer. I felt very privileged to be sat in that street that night, realising all of this. It was a good day.
(And yes, that is the moon top right...)
(Strobist/flash info: 2x 580EX II Speedlights fired via Cybersyncs, one either side of the camera. One at 1/2 power, the other at 1/4.)
I was already on my way home, when I found a lavender field, whose rows were aligned exactly to the departing storm. I took two hundred pictures before there was a flash. Wonderfully, this was one of the few places where I could take pictures all by myself.
This was one very friendly blackbird. So much so that he hopped into the car with me when I opened the door. As cute as it was it does concern me somewhat when wildlife and birds become that comfortable with humans as it usually means someone has been feeding them and usually not something they should be having

I visited Joppa Hill Farm today, a community farm owned by the town of Bedford, NH. I love community farms, as they usually let you walk around and meet the animals. It's also nice that they're owned by their community, who are invested in making it a thriving farm, often with an educational purpose.
These goats are among a half dozen or so living there, and they are friendly. They enjoyed some pats and scratchies for Christmas.

Welp here it is!
The past week has been a bucketload of fun.
I had to research these guys, come up with my own ideas, and put them into lego form!
There is exactly 26 figures in this lineup, and if I had one more, I probably wouldn't have been able to include it.

Tell me which is your fave and why!
I might have some action shots coming, or even some edits, so look out for those.
Finally, story time.
I took the pano yesterday, and it looked freaking stellar, not gonna lie. But then, after I had toppled down the figs, I realized I had forgotten to put ACCELERATED MAN in! So then I had to reset all 26 figs up, and retake the pano. Oy!
Thanks for reading and following me on my flash week journey!
