Focus stacking de 4 prises macros combinées par CombineZP. En fait 4 des 8 prises de vue initiales se sont avérées inexploitables pour le stacking en raison de décalages dûs au vent. Heureusement, une ouverture à 22 a permis de limiter la perte de profondeur de champ, mais le résultat à 8 prises aurait été meilleur.

“Focus on beauty, not on fear
dance with stress to let it clear”
― Debasish Mridha
With all the ugly that is going on let's focus on beauty.
Found this Cordulegastride on my backpack while enjoying the hotel's playground early in the morning.
The Stacking is rather poor but I hope you like the image.

Ponce de Leon claimed Florida for Spain in 1513. (Christopher Columbus discovered North America in 1492 but actually landed in the Bahamas). Other Spanish explorers later found gold and silver in Mexico and Peru. The treasure was sent back to Spain in ships sailing in the Gulf Stream. Spanish settlements needed to be built in Florida to protect the Spanish Treasure fleets. King Phillip II of Spain sent Pedro Menendez to settle in Florida and drive out French garrisons recently established there. In September 1565, Pedro Menendez with 700 soldiers and colonists landed here and founded St. Augustine making it the oldest continually occupied European settlement in North America ~ Treasure Coast ~ NE Florida ~ Saint Augustine Inlet

Seeing that I was able to get out and enjoy a nice 50-mile ride today, I decided to pull a shot I'd taken during the past few weeks and post it.
This shot was taken on a stretch of road that is frequented by cyclists, near the Chattahoochee River. In this case, the guy was aero, using clip-on bars, so chances are high that he's got triathlon on his mind. I took a number of panning shots this day, but this one appeared to me to be the best of the bunch. I love the intensity and focus evident in his face and especially love how his mouth is open, indicating he's working pretty hard and trying to pull in oxygen to keep the engine firing on all cylinders.
PP in Lightroom2; 1x1 crop and applied a preset called x=warm+storm - I like how this preset placed lighting emphasis on the front portion of the action, but didn't totally obscure the rear half.
Bound to our flat due to Covid-19 I gave focus stacking with my macro lens a try. I used Affinity Photo for the focus merge and am quite happy with the result.
Very soft focus. Mountain Bluebird (Sialia curricoides) Thomson Flats, New Growth Area, Upper Mission, Kelowna, BC. If this looks more like a painting, then you're seeing it the way it is intended....

Taken on a cold day in Taylor Park, St Helens, I saw this group of gulls sitting on a rail, took a few shots from different angles then noticed just one gull was looking my way, I moved position to tighten up the line, got the focus on it and took the shot.
Well as my good friend Brad would say, "I have been going through my archives and found this!" This one was taken on one of my first trips to central Osceola County near Kenansville, FL. What a first day I had shooting the eagles. Just want to thank Danny Erdocio for taking me out that day!!!
Treasure Hunt #52 'Peeling Paint'
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
Anemone. Title borrowed from a best-of album of - guess who - Deep Purple.

I like gulls in flight on cloudy days. I took enough pictures of them. Now I plan to take pictures of small birds. I think I should be very patient for this and wait for hours until birds come to the branches of a tree. The trees near the rivers have more birds and nests. I need binoculars to look for birds and long lens. My longest lens is 150-600 with 1x4 teleconverter, which reach to 840mm if I mount in APS-C camera then it will reach to 1260mm, but it downgrades picture quality because of teleconverter and crop sensor camera. I try my best to catch some good small birds. Visit my page soon if I can take good pictures of small birds. Have a great day!
Our thoughts create our reality -- where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go. Peter McWilliams
*happy focusing bokeh wednesday*
What 'is' is what needs to be, that is what is in focus in this very moment. The conceptual judgement, which predetermines what needs to be in focus now or what attention is disadvantagous, is a construct of our minds. Therefore, the concept of what is good or right and what is bad or wrong is bron out of thought and has no real universal value. The present moment brings in the focus automatically, instinctively. The importance of the present finds its way to reveal itself, its focus, to you. Hence, the trick is to stay with the moment, to stay true to yourself, to trust yourself, and not to worry what to 'bring to' or 'take out of' focus.
