I had photographed the moon before with really pretty mediocre results so decided to follow the advice in this article:
www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/hub/guides/moon-p...
It worked a treat. Some of the advice is common sense but there are lots of small things that all need to be considered. Low ISO, smallish aperture, tripod etc. The colorisation was done in Photoshop using a gradient map.
camera toss plus processing = fun
my initial foray into programmatic sources for camera toss, see this photo for a better description.

Chunky large orangish kingfisher with an oversized head and a scarlet dagger of a bill. No other large kingfisher in its range has dark brown wings. Bright blue-green rump patch most obvious in flight. Restricted to coastal habitats such as mangroves and estuaries. Gives loud, fluid-sounding whistles as well as harsh grating rattles. (eBird)
--------------
We had just one day in which to find this beautiful kingfisher. A pre-breakfast boat ride around the mangroves resulted in two excellent sightings including this bird waiting patiently for his breakfast. A great start to the southern leg of our Thailand trip.

Krabi Town, Krabi, Thailand. February 2025.
Rockjumper Birding Tours.
Fog in the morning and autumn colors are for me one of the most beautiful times of the year. So I rushed into the nearby forest to take some photos. And this is the result.
French / Italian architectural result.

Saint-Gatien Cathedral in Tours is a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture, famous for its richly decorated facade and its spectacular 13th-century stained glass windows. Its construction spanned nearly four centuries (from 1170 to 1547), resulting in a unique blend of styles, ranging from early Gothic to the Renaissance touches on the tower tops.

La Cattedrale di Saint-Gatien a Tours è un capolavoro del gotico francese, celebre per la sua facciata riccamente decorata e le sue spettacolari vetrate del XIII secolo. La costruzione è durata quasi quattro secoli (dal 1170 al 1547), il che ha permesso una fusione unica di stili, dal gotico primitivo fino ai tocchi rinascimentali delle sommità delle torri.
A gorgeous Four-spotted Chaser found at Latterbarrow in Cumbria, during a light rain shower.
The light was actually very poor when photographing it, so I was quite surprised to get some decent results.
One of the best specimens of this species I have ever seen.
Goblin Valley State Park is a state park of Utah, in the United States. The park features thousands of hoodoos, referred to locally as goblins, which are formations of mushroom-shaped rock pinnacles, some as tall as several metres. The distinct shapes of these rocks result from an erosion-resistant layer of rock atop relatively softer sandstone. Goblin Valley State Park and Bryce Canyon National Park, also in Utah about 310 km to the southwest, contain some of the largest occurrences of hoodoos in the world.
Early morning.

Shooting into the woods behind the house trying to capture the mist, but I was fast losing my light so I didn't get the results I wanted, but I like how this one turned out; kinda creepy.
Good Saturday morning everyone and wishing all a great and safe weekend.
I have been experimenting with a new Nikon Z-9 but very frustrating menu system and am struggleing a bit setting it up to my liking, but you will see some results very soon, wish me luck, I'll need it.
…or where the fire meets the houses. The CalWood fire reaches the base of the mountains after a downhill/ downwind sprint (see previous post for more thorough description). With minimal warning, all residents of houses in the potential path of the fire were able to evacuate, some with harrowing stories of driving vehicles past exploding trees. Sadly 26 homes were lost to the fire, though it could have been far worse. The fire hit the boundary with the former Overland fire (2003, on the left in the photo) with a loss of fuel (trees) and began to slow down significantly. Flames are faintly visible in the lower center of the picture burning through grass. The fire continued to burn slowly toward the south for a few days, but has been largely contained and will probably be extinguished by 2 cold fronts coming through the area in the next 4 days. The brownish color of the clouds is real and is the result of the ash emitted by the burning vegetation. Cumulus clouds of water droplets are visible in the back, partially obscured by smoke from different fires to the west (left).
I always had difficulties to shot trees, especially in the forest, I find the result boring or messy and I really admired some photographers that can bring back masterpieces from the forest.
So I quite often try to take a picture that I like in the forest but mostly throw away everything after, but for once even I am quite happy with the result, there is still a lot of room for improvement but I feel OK to share it with you.
I hope that you will like it.
They say patience is a virtue and while I want to believe it is an asset, sometimes it is downright painful. Rather, sometimes we are just lucky. This is a place where I have photographed before so I went back in the late evening to catch some light in the sky.
This time I was lucky enough to catch a train as well. I could hear its shunting in the distance as the hulking beast made its way slowly through the trees. Changing lenses to go wider was necessary so I had to be quick with my Lee GND filter. The result came out rather well.

Thanks go to BingleymanPhotos for making the introductions, but these Hawthorns now seem like old friends to me having shot them on so many occasions now, the difference being here, that I wanted to photograph them throughout the seasons and especially with some some snow around.
150mm prime @ f11 still results in some compression, with the Dales villages of Kilnsey & Conistone below in the valley bottom of Wharfedale.
Losing a bit of sleep over the lunar eclipse last night was well worth the investment. I am pretty stoked with the end result.
This is the reflection of the front part of a yellow canoe that was resting on the bank of the river. Using a smidgen of punsters license, I decided to name the pareidolia head that emerged, Canute or Canoot after King Canute a Danish king of England 1017-1035. He is best remembered for demonstrating to fawning courtiers his ability to hold back the rising tide.
I noticed a box of little sequins which refracted light in different colors. With the use of my macro lens I could emphasize this and the result was a bit of a psychedelic picture.

Thank you so much
Vuelvo a subir esta foto del pasado mes de junio para rendirle un homenaje personal ya que ha resultado finalista en el certamen Memorial Maria Luisa en la categoría "Paisajes naturales".
Os dejo un enlace al último post de mi blog en el que describo mi actual estado de ánimo.

Muchas gracias a todos los que me seguís en flickr, en mi blog y en facebook.
Kaptai Lake is the largest man made lake in Bangladesh. It is located in the Kaptai Upazila under Rangamati District of Chittagong Division. The lake was created as a result of building the Kaptai Dam on the Karnaphuli River, as part of the Karnaphuli Hydro-electric project. The Kaptai Lake's average depth is 100 feet (30 m) and maximum depth is 490 feet (150 m).
This praying mantis paid a visit to my pool yesterday. I think the water drops are as a result of my grandson splashing some water at it. And it did not move an inch.
Thank you very much for your views, faves and comments.

Great conditions, right loco, good company; what more could you want?
Well, to be honest, the tide in but if that'd happened I'd have had to quit the hobby on a high.
These are the days that make all the fails rankle a bit less!

I'm DONE! LOL! Thank you ALL for your ideas, suggestions and constructive criticism! I hope I some how hit the in between this time!
After having a go at photographing some flowers for the Macro Mondays theme of "Line Symmetry" I wasn't too happy with the results and was struggling compositionally finding a subject with a good background so last minute I switched to arranging some bulldog clips into an arc.
June experienced unusually cold and wet weather in Lassen Volcanic National Park which resulted in beautiful clearing mist conditions as the sun set and illuminated the fog concealing Lassen Peak’s mountaintop in a subtle pink.
Just back from the Isle of Mull. This is one of many shots I took of the white-tailed eagles. It's taken from Mull Charters boat where dead fish are thrown in the water to lure the birds in for an easy meal. This results in great views and pretty easy photo opportunities which wouldn't normally be possible. A lot of credit needs to be given to Mull Charters for their help with these shots
Thanks for all the views, faves and comments
Venice Beach, Venice, Los Angeles (California, USA). Martedì, 5 aprile 2016.
I was walking around the beach at sunset with my Polaroid, looking for a nice scene with the ocean, the sun going down... but nothing stood out.
While I was going back to where I came from, I met this group of guys playing football. One of them looked at the Polaroid and started doing that face "Oh, cool camera! Take us a picture!". I just replied: "If you'd just were playing by the ocean...".
This shot is the direct result of his answer: "Well, let's do it!".
Thanks again Sean, Joshua, Dante and Melik!

Here you see why the Heron was guarding its domain with such ferocity. Within minutes of chasing away the anhinga, the heron lunged out of the tree it was sitting in, beat its extended wings thrice and plunged into the water - spearing the prize displayed here.
A few flips and turns and the prize slid down the throat - some other photos of this series are included in the comments below.
A super autumnal morning for this shot. A nice bit of mist lying in the hollows yet bright enough sun at sunrise to cast some super shadows from the sheep. All I needed was the sheep to hang around long enough for the sun to get going. They were losing interest at this point but I liked the result. Had to be on a tripod for this shot. Shooting into the sun is never easy with the dynamic range you get. Narrow aperture helps burst the sun.
After settling into Rifugio Fanes, our accommodation for the night, I wandered down to a nearby waterhole which I had noticed on our way there.
When I first got there, these peaks were dull as clouds were covering the sun, so I had been facing the opposite direction. But then I turned around a saw this! One of the best, if not the best view of the whole hike. And I was the only person there to enjoy it.
I process my photos with Lightroom as well as Skylum's Luminar and find it easy to use with great results. Here is a link if anyone is interested in trying it out: skylum.grsm.io/janetteasche8660
I really enjoyed my day out in my white socks that I didn't want to take them off after getting back to the hotel.

They’re coming in wave and now it’s wave Wednesday, I can’t miss that. So to remedy that and also get my favourite lighthouse back into the act here’s todays photo. Seaham was my chosen location on Monday and Tuesday but I have to say I did not enjoy Tuesday morning, so I was feeling a bit done in with waves. But just after lunch it started snowing and my imagination started to kick in and decided to pop down to Roker and go light. It was a good try out for my newly acquired (secondhand) Fujifilm XH1, combined with the new xf 70-300 plus 1.4x, again secondhand bought purposely to go with the new 70-300mm. So back to handheld photography rather than carting about my Canon 7dmkii and 10-400mm lens, although I love that setup I do need to use it on a tripod. However I have to say I was a little disappointed with the results from the fuji xh1, only nailing photos that were at a high shutter speed. The main reason I went with this kit was IBIS in the XH1 and a fantastic OS in the lens, so it should have coped with the slower shutter speeds. Then I find out last night that the XH1 had a bug and image stabilisation didn’t work with this lens. The good news is that Fujifilm and fixed it already and amended the firmware on April 1st, so I installed it this morning and boy what a difference. So here is one of the photos I got away with yesterday.
I put my old camera tripod to use again, and this was the result in some very low light. My tripod has not been in use since the late 80's... I only used it for taking portraits, so no wear and tear on it at all... still looks brand new! It was a strange feeling to be using it again with such a different kind of camera.
Portreath, mid-way between Perranporth and St Ives on the north coast of Cornwall, was one of Cornwall's earliest industrial ports. The building of the harbour in 1760 was the result of the development of copper mining in the early 1700s. It was uneconomic to smelt copper in Cornwall so the ore was taken to South Wales where there was a plentiful supply of coal. By 1800 there was a need to expand the port so that increased quantities of Welsh steam coal could be imported to fuel the steam engines at the nearby mines. A local tramway was built to connect the port to them. By 1827 Portreath was being described as Cornwall's most important port. The copper industry peaked in 1840 when 100,000 tons of ore were shipped to South Wales.
But by the late 1860s copper production was slumping and Portreath then relied primarily on the coal traffic. It continued as a reasonably important port, but the advent of the railways and better roads eventually led to its decline. By the 1960s the port had virtually ceased to trade and it is now surrounded by modern housing. I suspect most residents are blissfully unaware of its rich history.
