Another in the series of pictures of new fledgling Ospreys learning by doing including, in this case, learning what not to do. The fledglings tried multiple times to land at the top of tall trees on branches that were much too small to support their weight. This youngster finally gave up on deciduous trees but did subsequently land atop a tall spruce tree.
Still learning by doing with Black and White, so some older photos being ideal for the doing part. One of my Favourite locations too in the last two years.
… this very young buck gets a bit of practice from his elder.

I enjoy experimenting with photoshop. I'm a slow learner, learning by doing, and then doing it over and over until I really understand what and how I did something, so... a new category in my blog begins...

Learning-by-doing the skill of carrying things in its talons. This time it is a clump of leaves; later it will be a fish. Many times I have seen young Cooper's Hawks learning prey-carrying skills by carrying and playing with lumps of dirt or grass.
This Osprey and its 2 siblings, which fledged in the last week, were observed at the end of the week on the ground - like this - in an industrial area, trying to land on trees with limited success, dive bombing a field to simulate a plunge for a fish, hopping around on a field, and landing on low fences, roof tops, lamp standards, roof structures and extensions, and utility poles, fleeing from mobbings by crows and generally trying things out. Learning by doing.
They were very fun to watch, and it is amazing how well they fly only a few days after fledging.

RKO_0628. Young Great Crested Grebe.
While sitting in my living this young Grebe was doing a great show at the ditch behind my house: washing, airlifting, admiral pose, diving, etc.
When she was a little further away I quickly took my camera and went out to carefully approach her trying to get some shots with de Z8.
Not sure about the settings yet. Learning by doing works the best for me I guess.

Learning by doing, a nice workshop on food photography, with Eileen Schäfer in Munich. First a short introduction to the subject, then start to photograph the stuff everybody brought. Actually Romanesco was on my Wishlist, but I could not get it in time. So lucky me, another participant brought some and I was able to borrow it for a couple of minutes.

As I'm trying to learn more about editing of night landscapes, it seems to be obvious to practice some learning by doing with older night shots which have good technical quality but did not show optimum results after post processing.
This panorama has been erged from 12 single shots taken from the tripod in portrait orientation with the 28 mm Zeiss Otus Distagon. Careful editing in Lightroom may seemed to be not that diificult but stitching really was ist: Lightroom and Potoshop were not able to achieve good results, only PT GUI did after some tests with the panorama editor.
The night was completely without moon but some wellcome light polution for the foreground coming from few little houses in the valley.
This picture is my first attempt to create this fascinating effect of milky water at sunset. To do this, I used a Polarizer, a ND8 Neutral Grey and a ND8 graduated Neutral Grey Filter, f8 @ 28 mm and ISO 50, which ended in an exposure time of 8 seconds. I think the composition of the rocks could be perhaps better, but the intention of this picture was learning by doing ;-) Unfortunately I don't live at the sea, so there will be not much of these pictures in my Photostream :-( Is anyone out there with a house to give away at the sea???
Last but not least a big thanxs to all the people on flickr who share theirs technical knowledge with others! Flickr is a great Knowledge Base and a wonderful place to meet people from all over the world.

Still new to me this Black and White Photography, trying to get the right style that I like and that the image is portraited how I saw the scene.
The tones I want to achieve with grey is not quite there, I am struggling with it but then there is learning by doing. I am still doing.

Of course, these bright mushrooms are not real magic, but for me, they've always had something magical since I saw the first picture.
Admittedly I would have given everything at that time to know how it works and today I am very grateful that nobody had tell me because it has increased my curiosity about photography even more :-)
With a little delay, I wish you all an exciting and peaceful year 2019.

One from our "Back to the 60's" shoot a few weeks ago. ( : It was freezing (!) but you can't see it, because she's a pro. ♥
I have no idea what's going on, but during the last two weeks I stepped out of my comfort zone and got so much positive response, I can hardly believe it. Photographers, Models and Designers, I just wrote to them all. I feel like something big started, and I'll do it all step by step, being excited to the max, trying out new things, learning by doing and connecting with amazing people.
I've also got the strength to just say "Goodbye" to someone who turnes out to be .. not helpful and rude. I don't even feel annoyed, just dealing with it very quickly and erasing all the negativity.
Don't need that bullshit.
Because now it's my turn!

Took an afterwork stroll in Hjälstavikens nature reserve. Bird photography are not my strong suit but found out it's very relaxing and fun. Learning by doing. I have no clue what most of the birds are named so hit that comment button if you know.

Hi Folks,
my last job as a test pilot was a bit disappointing. That’s why I decided to become a gardener now. My owl friend PLOP assists me, as it is really a hard job. ‘Learning by Doing’ is our motto -so why not start with a flowerbed We chose these lovely pink wild geranium flowers to serve as our bed. First of all we made sure that it is comfortable: soft, and with a lovely scent, secondly it must be a sunny place. Both criteria fulfilled, job done! We both slept very well for the rest of our working day. The pilot sleeping phase was a great success. We didn’t even have a clue how nice our gardener job is and we hope SHE will be delighted that we have a certified flowerbed in the garden for us to sleep in.
Have you got nice flowers in your garden? If so, please do not hesitate to contact us should you like to have a bed made of flowers for your own place, we are experts now and we'll make flowerbeds great for you !
Bear Hugs all around

This picture is #1 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
This post marks the beginning of my participation in the group "100 Strangers." The concept is to take 100 portraits of strangers you approach for an impromptu photo session! Fellow participants in the group share not only their photos but also their learning experiences - and the motto of the group is "learning by doing." It seems a perfect way for me to improve my people skills, practice portrait photography and build my portrait portfolio!
Getting started was a bit of a struggle, though! Three times I had already specifically gone out to find my first stranger but never approached anybody. Mostly, I was preoccupied with the worry that I might not deliver a good photo. By the third time, I had discovered that Azalea Park in Brookings was an excellent location I intended to use. So for my fourth outing I returned there and practiced on Blanca with my new reflector. :) That gave me some confidence as I was liking the results.
While Blanca rested in the shaded car, I spotted a sweet young couple walking through the park and decided on them. Trying not to look at them with a predatory stare as they approached, I checked my camera ... and when I looked up again, they had gone down another path! So I was trying to find somebody else but couldn't quite find the right one.
And then that young couple came my way again! This time I approached them and they were super friendly and willing. Haley's boyfriend encouraged her to be my stranger #1 (obviously a big fan of her beauty) and I offered to also take a picture of both of them. He told me his name and even spelled it, but unfortunately I have to say that I just didn't register it (sorry!!! please tell me!). Anyway, he had his own camera on his shoulder and assisted me kindly in holding the reflector. They are visiting from Grants Pass. I didn't manage much of a conversation so that's really all I know about them. I liked the color of Haley's top and how it complemented all the greens and she was very easy to photograph! Thank you both so much for your cooperation and for making my first stranger portrait a very pleasant experience! :) Email me and I'll send you the originals. I hope you're happy with them.
Addendum: Haley let me know her boyfriend's name is Anthony and they loved the pictures!
Take one look at his series of intimate close-up pictures of foxes, squirrels, bears, and other animals and it is easy to see why. His images, which have been shared thousands of times, seem to invite us into a world of wildlife animals living happily in the Nordic countryside – with close-up photographs almost seem to tap into their very souls bit.ly/KonstaP_wildlife

It's too early to tell if this first attempt will take. Apparently I have a lot yet to learn about materials and method. But hey, I had to start somewhere.

My contribution to Fotosöndag/Photo Sundays theme "Action". I´m taking a course in photo on Fotografiska Akademien. And I enjoy every moment of it! This weeks work is about light. It´s fun to see that my camera (not a Nikon) has so much more to offer than I could ever imagine...
At the moment I have fun picking up some light trails......I actually had to find a suitable place to get even closer to the curvy track on the left edge of the picture. But because I already like this picture here, I'll come back another time and keep looking.
Because I liked the final result a bit better, I combined a picture with 246 seconds and one with 33 seconds, but I still have to work on my skills to avoid overexposing the lights that much.
