Yet more from my dripping tap! I hope you're not too bored with these - I could shoot them exclusively and never be bored! :)

"Metallic" probably in more than one sense :)

A pair of Metallic Starling perched atop their nest amongst the colony. One of the pair has a brood patch, which is a patch of bare skin on the belly, used for incubating eggs. This patch develops during the nesting season & helps transfer heat to the eggs.
I went out early and found this rather alien looking metallic beetle hanging out on a Dandelion. Tentatively identified as Buprestidae, likely in the genus Acmaeodera. Common name: Jewel Beetle.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (almost 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order. I held the flower close to a wall to keep the background from being black.
It was early in the morning and this very cooperative Metallic Chafer Beetle allowed me to take over 200 frames, and I used the opportunity to experiment with the position of my flash heads. This session has led me to stop using a Kaiser Adjustable Flash Shoe on the key light. Due to the changes I've made to my light quality the Kaiser was working against me.

It’s hard not to fall in love with the Metallic Starling! These extraordinary architects are communal nesters, weaving hundreds of intricate, hanging nests within the branches of a single tree. Each year, they complete a remarkable migration from Papua New Guinea, returning with pinpoint accuracy to the exact same trees in Far North Queensland. At this well-known colony on the main street of Mossman, January is a whirlwind of activity; the parents are in constant motion, darting back & forth to provide a steady stream of insects & tropical fruits for their hungry, newly hatched chicks.
The different metals came to the surface during volcanic eruptions in this area. The blue-green colour (which I like to think of as robin's egg blue) results from the decomposition of mica, the oranges and pinks are from the oxidation of iron salts.
This one reflects golden rays resulting in an almost metallic looking surface. Very reflective and extremely memorable.
At the fabulous place in Oswestry,the British ironworks is amazing to see all sorts of sculptures made from recycled materials..
Either a sweat bee or a mason bee, I think (I'm not very good at bee identification.) Flowers are redbuds.

At the time I was doing the Willow dress and boots I was invited to the grand opening of Bacchanalia.
I wasn't able to make it, but went over and was in a picture paradise. This beautiful sim has a club,plaza, beach, cassino and stores.
The best part was the photo opportunities that they put together with all kinds of props and backgrounds.
If you have pictures that need to be done, I would recommend going over and checking out Bacchanalia.

Tiny blue-black grains of metallic sand, when concentrated, and mixed with bits of rose quartz, create stretches of bright purple sand.
