Black Five 45407 'Lancashire Fusilier' hammering through Burrs in front of the visiting enthusiasts/photographers on day 3 of the Spring Steam Gala
The Ford Maverick was introduced on April 17, 1969 - 5 years to the date after the introduction of Ford’s wildly successful Mustang. The Maverick was promoted as an ‘import fighter’, a reaction to the increasing market share not only by companies such as Volkswagen but the ever-rising popularity of Toyota and Datsun.
Its initial price was $1995 for a very basically appointed, low content car. The “grabber” package was offered sometime later, comprising certain visual enhancements such as stripes, hood scoops, faired OSRV mirrors, black painted ends, auxiliary lighting plus some additional bright colors such as ‘Grabber Blue’, ‘Grabber Orange’, Grabber Green’ and the like.
The one above appears to be restored to an excellent condition.
Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna is a bald eagle hot-spot several months of the year and I've seen photographers there who travel some distance to visit as there are sometimes several dozen or more eagles there. One of the classic shots most would like to capture is the eagle grabbing a fish from the river. Unfortunately there can be long waits between these events if they occur at all. I understand why these shots are so interesting. Its because there are times where things happen so fast that you can't see what happens moment to moment. But photography stops time, enabling us to see something we otherwise couldn't.
Here a bald eagle has hit the water, the resultant spray is still rising, and there are hints of the fish in the spray that the eagle has grabbed with its right claw. It's only in subsequent images that I learned whether this was a successful grab or not. I leave that to the viewer to determine what that future was... (a thought experiment). However, I love this image for the reflection which seems to balance the asymmetry of the eagles wings as it flies forward.
Taken 13 November 2016 at Conowingo Dam.
Sometimes when you least expect it and are not prepared for it the most spectacular events unfold right in front of your eyes. After having a disappointing day of photographing we had called it quits and were gonna grab dinner and head home, untill my friend spotted these Great Horned Owls. This was probably one of the most memorable encounters I have ever had with wildlife. The Male here takes off as he sets off to hunt on a dark Florida night.
Whilst walking round Cosmeston with sallymark1 a couple of weeks ago, I saw this swan coming in to land and grabbed a quick pan shot.

National Harbor sits across from Alexandria adjacent to DC, where the power grab is played out over and over to the detriment of those without it. As mighty as they all pretend to be, none can grab hold of the sun or command the forces of the universe. This photo reminds me that power grabs are temporal and ultimately vain attempts to control the fate of others.

Minutes after the engineer on this coal train snagged the orders he radioed JB Tower to ask why he got a wheel report for the Long West.
Accidentally opened developing tank after loading gave lots of base fog and odd exposure. Editing got me the best image but huge amounts of grain. I like it.
Mamiya Super 16, 16mm subminiature camera with expired Kodak Tri-X 400 film.
... well that is what Ms. Krach yelled to me from our front door. She had been out gardening. I asked what it was, and she said I had to take a picture. So of course the next question I asked was what lens do I need.
'How the hell would I know' was her response back to me. That is usually how it goes when she asks me to take a picture :)
Once I saw her friend there in the garden, I went and grabbed my long lens combo that works well as a macro lens from afar.

An opportunity to nip into Liverpool after work today so I grabbed the chance and snapped the 3 Graces with the Liver Buildings in prominence
The other day I was reminded of a manager at the fast food place where I worked through high school and college - mainly that he constantly accused people of playing grab-ass. If any two employees were in the back room for longer than 30 seconds, regardless of gender, age or orientation, they were greeted with "What the hell were you doing back there? Playin' grab-ass?" when they returned. Once it was the 60-something woman who worked the register and a red-faced 15 year old. Enough shame. Let's take back grab-ass.
Speeding away from the house in our jaunting car I managed to grab this parting shot...HFF!
Three shots from Muckross House today...

Yesterday was an interesting day. After the fire and second explosion at the Husky refinery in Superior, our neighborhood was evacuated. Never realized we were less than two miles from the Superior refinery until yesterday. After work I had to go down into Superior and scoop up the kids from a great neighbor that got our kids from the evacuation point in the west end of Superior. We quickly packed and headed out of town to spend the night in Cloquet. We were told to prepare to spend a few days out of Superior.
On our way out of town we grabbed a shot of a PRS returning to Proctor with 48 loads of Minorca stone. Here at Spirit Mountain, DMIR 409, BLE 904, and 900 round the curve with the fire burning in Superior.
Kudos to the firefighters that got the fire out later that evening, and we were able to return to our house tonight.
My son Marcus has many stories to tell about the explosion and evacuation as he was outside for recess when the first explosion happened and his school is about a mile away. He said it was the loudest boom of thunder he ever heard. Luckily no fatalities from the whole ordeal and everyone is home like us.
Detailaufnahme des Kulissengrabes in der Pfarrkirche St. Wendelin in Eyershausen. So hat man sich in der Barockzeit die römischen Soldaten vorgestellt. Die Figur ist mannshoch, man täuscht sich auf den Fotos in den Maßen. Insgesamt hat das Hl. Grab eine Höhe von 5 Metern.

…..A shout out for phone camera’s - the saying ‘the best camera you have is the one in your hand’ so so true - I’m like the vast majority of folks who ALWAYS have a phone nearby most of the day! I was sitting at my chair in December putting a picture on Flickr if my memory is correct, when I spotted a Blackbird through the window beside me! Grabbed my phone beside me & pressed it against the glass & click! OK so the bird flew off when I tapped the glass but hey-ho I got a shot - not a great one I know and Blackie got a feast of berries so win win I say. Thank you iPhone - other phones are available….. Alan:-)

This is not a grab shot! The title refers to their feet...
I put bird food out, then I wait. There is little doubt that starlings will soon be at the food, arguing over possession of it. When they do, they fly into the air in battle and its almost impossible to keep them in the frame or to keep the focus on them, but every now and then a shot sort of works. Hundreds to delete…..
Please write to ricseet@gmail.com if you like a FREE copy of this picture. In return please donate any amount and to any charity of your choice. Just trying to do the little we can help to the needy. Thank you for your generosity!
Thank you for viewing and have a happy day.

When I visited my daughter on March 20 2011, my grandson, Aidan, was telling me about this bird with babies. I was excited and asked him to show me. He took me outside his home and pointed up - "there they are".
Wow - I saw how cute they were and grab my cam from the car.
Thank you Aidan!

This pic is sold to Nat Geo for their coming book. Proceeds is going to charity.
The lady who bought the pic had a hard time tracking me down becos the person who downloaded this pic from my Flickr account without my knowledge, plastered this all over the internet and change my name from Ric Seet to Rik Seet. So no one can track the originator down. Now others are profiteering from this scam and here is the link to one such websites. You pay them to download my stolen pic:
pixdaus.com/under-her-wings-by-rik-seet-birds-aves-fauna-...
When I did a Rik Seet goggle search there are about 4 full pages of links to such websites !
www.google.com.sg/search?q=Rik Seet&ie=utf-8&oe=u...
This is one of the downside of the internet. To prevent such future mishaps, I have since disabled the download feature under Privacy & Settings. Base on the feedback this is not even safe. Additional advises is to add Watermarks and reduce file size to 800X800. From what I am hearing nothing is save on the net.
Thank you friends for your kind advise. .
Update: May13 2012
I managed to write to a few websites/blogs via email and FB.
1. A friend responded on FB and apologize for posting the pic on FB for Mother Day.
2. An Australian cyclist by the name of Craig plaster the pic for 2012 Mother Day. I wrote to inform him that the pic is my and he blocked me off immi'ly. Isn't that just great, steals your pic and ignores you!
3. What's even more interesting is Pixdaus.com has an option for you to complain if your are the owner of the intellectual property. Isn't this a laugh. I presume they believe they excuse themselves of any legal obligation in the eyes of the law by having this feature on their website! I have written to them and waiting for their reply.
Update June 1 2012
Today a caring Flickr friend brought to my attention that the above pic was stolen again and this pic was posted on Flickr. Wrote to the person to delete my picture which was done. Not a word of apology.
These people have no shame - steal other pictures and post it like theirs. Even took part in invites and participated at the various levels of award to claim credit for themselves.
here is the link if this shameful person and I have seen another couple of stolen pics as well becos they are too skillful for him. Even wrote to advise that these be remove. I am contacting the legal department of Yahoo in Singapore and making a few suggesting to them to apprehend such people.

Since then more Flickr friends have alerted me. I am now no more angry becos I have learnt to share and come to realized this picture brings great memories & joy to others. One guy wrote to request for a print becos he wanted to place it next to his Bible.
He said that it is "God's Gift To Nature"
Update June 4 2012
Great to see that couple of my Flickr friends have added water mark to their pic. Very creative as they take the trouble to strategically position the watermark . I will borrow this idea. Thanks guys!
Update Dec 17 2012
Nat Geo is now printing double the number of copies and has agreed to denote US$300/ to charity of my grandson choice - SPCA. Thank you Nat Geo.
Update Dec 25 2012
Today I received a very touching letter from a mother who requested this print. I am glad that a picture is worth a thousand words and holds special meaning and brings great joy.
So if you need a print please drop me a Flickr mail and your mailing address. Thank you.
My heart goes out to this special lady and this picture is my gift to her. Some of you are aware that my daughter was critically ill. In her own works she told me she nearly died in Oct. Now I rejoice becos she is making slow recovery ----. A small step at a time!
Hi Ric,
I have been searching for the photographer who took the absolutely beautiful photo of the colorful momma bird with it's babies under its wings. I've actually been praying I would find the original photographer. I won't get into the details, but for the last almost 2 years, I've been going through a really hard time with my health due to a horrible medical mistake that I suffered at the hands of a doctor. I will not let anyone tell me I am not going to get better. My husband and my son need me back. This picture holds such meaning for me...I've found it on other websites, which I am so sorry that people are stealing your work, and I have gone back to look at it a lot over the last several months. It brings me great comfort and the colors are just so beautiful and bright. I was wondering if it would be possible to buy a large print of it from you so that I can frame it and have it matted with a verse so I can look at it every day in my house. Would you mind letting me know if it's possible to buy a print from you? If so, what are the size proportions that you could print out for me? The place I want to hang it could handle an overall size of 24"x24" or 24"x28", which would be framed and matted with an inscription matted under it. Hopefully that description makes sense. Would you mind contacting back?
Update April 11 2016
Today i received a very comforting email from this lady and I thank her for helping mereach out to others who may need this pic becos of the sentimental/special meaning this pic means to them. For me this pic means a world to me bcos I am a dad to two precious daughters that I love dearly. No matter what -- I will always be there for them as long as I am on this good earth.
Hi Ric,
I must confess I posted your beautiful picture of the bird shielding her babies under her wings on a tweet and my FB page. I didn't take it from Flickr, I (wrongly) assumed it was in the public domain. Would you like me to remove it or would it be mutually agreeable to post a link to you for your credit and publicity? I am a solicitor working from home writing wills and trusts, hence the family theme, I have not tried to profit directly from the photo, just thought it was a nice image of caring. Sorry.
Kind regards,
Elizabeth
Thank you Elizabeth. There are lots of caring people on this good earth.
Pivoting style grabber that came from factory, these grabbers worked well but were not maintenance friendly due to the moving inner workings of the grabber.
