Suspended Cymbals are part the standard Drum Kit. There are various types. The larger ones are Ride Cymbals (to maintain a rhythmic pattern) and Crash Cymbals (to produce an occasional loud, sharp sound). There are also smaller ones to produce different effects - Bell Cymbals (which are thicker and more curved), Splash Cymbals, and China or Trash Cymbals.
Suspended Cymbals are assigned the number 111.24 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
1 = Idiophones. Sound is primarily produced by the actual body of the instrument vibrating, rather than a string, membrane, or column of air.
11 = Struck Idiophones. These idiophones are set in vibration by being struck.
111 = Directly Struck Idiophones. The player himself executes the movement of striking; whether by mechanical intermediate devices, beaters, keyboards, or by pulling ropes, etc.
111.2 = Percussive idiophones. The instrument is struck either with a non-sonorous object (hand, stick, striker) or against a non-sonorous object (human body, the ground).
111.24 = Percussion vessels.
This shot is from my first roll of colour developed at home. It was much more exciting and stressful than doing B&W! I think the results came out ok, if not a bit grainy! Any advice on how to reduce the noise a bit?

From Bombay Hook NWR, DE. Doug discovered them a couple days ago, and he got some great shots. Check his photo stream.
There seemed to possibly be 3 different sets of kits all living in nearby areas. I wouldn't say for sure these are kits from the mating pair I saw in January, because that was nearly a mile or two away. But, there's a remote chance I guess that since there are multiple sets of kits, they could be... Either way, they were awesome, and playful, and damn cute.
I made it half way through my photos from today, and had to call it quits, and pick an image, and post it, and then decompress.... Cya.
If you want something interesting to watch, check this out. It's about photography, and someone's work to document man's impact on landscapes:

Oh and check this out, it's a 7 minute video of a Golden Eagle vs. a Goat and is mind blowing.
Oh oh, heard about a hack to get 8fps from the D300 without the battery grip, see video here:

Kit Fox, my last photos of 2016! The only wild one I had ever seen was crossing the road in front of the car last year when I was driving to Tucson at 6 am. A friend told me that there was a Kit Fox near the campsite. I was very excited! I armed myself with my camera, flash , tripod and associated gear for an evening of shooting. I was out most of the day and assumed the extra camera bettery was charged, but... Then, I use my flash so rarely, I tend to foget everything about it between one time and the other. So, in general, the photo quality was disppointing. We used a flashlight to focus on the fox so the camera auto-focus could work. To our surprise, there were two foxes, not one! Anyhow, my batteries are now charged, and I will practice, practice, practice with the flash before I go back! and wait until it is a bit warmer. We seem to be getting into another cold snap.
