I really liked the moment that I captured watching that Great Blue Heron hunting late at night... I always wonder how can they see? Especially hunting those bushes. In the third picture the Great Blue Heron catches a tiny little crab... a lot of work for such a little prize. I did not have much hope that I would be able to publish any of these images because of the high ISO I had to set on my camera. Images ISO ranges from ISO 5,000 all the way up to ISO 20,000. Topaz Denoise AI came to the rescue to a certain extend. But then Jarek S. "Jerry" www.flickr.com/photos/162376953@N04/ told me about the new product that Topaz has released, Topaz Studio 2 which includes several filters including Clear AI which deals essentially with the noise ... I gave it a try and reprocessed all the pictures of this series with the new version of the Topaz product. In my opinion it is even better than Denoise. I purposely left all the file formats available (including extra large display) for those interested in looking at the performance depending on the compression. The noise handling is pretty good in some cases all the way up to extra large format... In that series, the Great Blue Heron continued to hunt even in the dark. I have shots taken at ISO 20,000 and they are still usable, especially if you post your images in a 2048 x 1365 format, something that many Flickr subscribers do. Can you guess which images of this series has a ISO of 12,800.
PS I only used the Clear AI filter software in its auto mode but the software offers a much greater functionality.
Many Thanks to Jarek for sharing one of his secrets of his wonderful photography....now I have to continue to dig in for more of his other secrets :) Have a look at his photostream when you have a minute... it is great
In the village of Tampak Siring on the Indonesian island of Bali you can find some talented bone carvers. This dragon is made from deer bone. You can see the 'decay' in the teeth is actually the bone marrow.
A pretty storage box.
Btb I love the touch/retouch app bc I was able to remove the latch!!

This week on Crazy Tuesday: Car detail.
This was quite a hard decision, the chosen was the door handle of a 2021 Skoda Octavia.
Shot with a 55mm micro nikkor.
few of us make it to a certain age in life without being just a little bit weather beaten, a bit rough around the edges and maybe dragging a few chains but then the sun comes shining and bright, chasing away any dark shadows that we might finally get a handle on it all......
This little cream pitcher is at Mom's house. I am not sure where it came from but I suspect it was once my paternal great grandmother's. The little handle is SO amazing, I thought it was perfect for the challenge!
Oops! I missed the deadline . . . we are central standard time zone! Well, anyway! For Smile on Saturday! - handle

One foot on the door handle, the other with your toe's just in the letterbox and you are in !.

This Rustic Handle has been taken for this weeks Macro Mondays theme of 'Handle'. It is from an outside log burner and burns nicely on chilly evenings in our garden. HMM
An outdoor door handle noted at Crisologo Street, Vigan City, Ilocos Sur province in the Philippines.
The holly is so prickly it hurts! And our holly has no berries, so I paired it with some redcurrants, which I've been making into redcurrant sauce - I don't like cranberries as much 😊

The doorknob on one of the doors in the relatively ancient old Oregon farmhouse in which I live.
HMM- the theme for today, 5/25, is handle and this one is probably the most colorful of the 3-4 macros that i'll put up.

Glenn Highway entering the Matanuska Valley from the north. Chugach Mountains on the south side of the valley, Talkeetna Mountains on the north side, and little Handle Mountain in the middle, a leftover remnant when the Matanuska Glacier gouged this valley some 10,000 years ago.
(some 'official' people call it Lion's Head Mountain....)
