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.
The effort (previous picture) paid off for this Red Tailed Hawk with a vole as a prize. As the juvenile Red Tailed Hawk took off with the vole it briefly landed on this fire hydrant marker across from where I was standing. Moments later he flew off to a tall tree nearby to finish off his dinner. Downsview Park, Toronto.
So, I had kind of forgotten about this contest until Robot reminded me, so here are the results!
In first we have Wavy Films with his SINnoman Bun from Adventure Time. I really love this figure. It's very original and creative, and the paintwork is really clean.
In second, we have Comic Customs with his Owlman from that animated Juicy League movie. The paintwork is very clean, and I've never seen this figure made before.
In third, we have Ancient Robot Customs with his Toon Lonk. The whole figure is very accurate to Lonk, and the sculpting and paintwork are great.
So, y'all can just DM me on insta to tell me what you want.
I was honestly disappointed in quite a few of the entries that didn't at all fit under the rules of the contest. Y'all gotta read the rules that I put in place.
This time the Caspian Tern managed to catch a Catfish after diving into the pond. This is one of the series of shots that I took of it diving and taking off of water with the fish in its mouth. Good to see them back in our shores. It was a cloudy afternoon; however, a nice break from three days of continuous rain. Burlington, Ontario.

Thank you so much
After watching the storm clouds build for hours, it ended in this rain storm which also brought lightning and thunder.
This was the beautiful result following the cobweb creation, previously posted in this photostream, of my Actaea [Cimicifuga, Bugbane] which was quickly destroyed by local gusting breezes.
I must have had a lucky spider :-)

The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption. It is located in County Antrim on the north coast of Northern Ireland, about three miles (4.8 km) northeast of the town of Bushmills.
Around 50 to 60 million years ago, during the Paleocene Epoch, Antrim was subject to intense volcanic activity, when highly fluid molten basalt intruded through chalk beds to form an extensive lava plateau. As the lava cooled, contraction occurred.
Horizontal contraction fractured in a similar way to drying mud, with the cracks propagating down as the mass cooled, leaving pillarlike structures, which are also fractured horizontally into "biscuits". In many cases the horizontal fracture has resulted in a bottom face that is convex while the upper face of the lower segment is concave, producing what are called "ball and socket" joints. The size of the columns is primarily determined by the speed at which lava from a volcanic eruption cools.
The extensive fracture network produced the distinctive columns seen today. The basalts were originally part of a great volcanic plateau called the Thulean Plateau which formed during the Paleocene.
According to legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The story goes that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool), from the Fenian Cycle of Gaelic mythology, was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two giants could meet. In one version of the story, Fionn defeats Benandonner. In another, Fionn hides from Benandonner when he realises that his foe is much bigger than he is. Fionn's wife, Oonagh, disguises Fionn as a baby and tucks him in a cradle. When Benandonner sees the size of the 'baby', he reckons that its father, Fionn, must be a giant among giants. He flees back to Scotland in fright, destroying the causeway behind him so that Fionn would be unable to chase him down.
Across the sea, there are identical basalt columns (a part of the same ancient lava flow) at Fingal's Cave on the Scottish isle of Staffa, and it is possible that the story was influenced by this.
In overall Irish mythology, Fionn mac Cumhaill is not a giant but a hero with supernatural abilities, contrary to what this particular legend may suggest. In Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry (1888) it is noted that, over time, "the pagan gods of Ireland [...] grew smaller and smaller in the popular imagination, until they turned into the fairies; the pagan heroes grew bigger and bigger, until they turned into the giants". There are no surviving pre-Christian stories about the Giant's Causeway, but it may have originally been associated with the Fomorians (Fomhóraigh); the Irish name Clochán na bhFomhóraigh or Clochán na bhFomhórach means "stepping stones of the Fomhóraigh". The Fomhóraigh are a race of supernatural beings in Irish mythology who were sometimes described as giants and who may have originally been part of a pre-Christian pantheon

A pleasant day spent in the company of Dave McDigital was rounded off with this final shot of 1Z30 skirting Tanyard Bay below the cliffs of Bransty.
Thinking of ordering PhenQ – wait till you have read this!
Trying to lose weight huh? Tell me about it. I have struggled with it for a really long time. After the birth of Evan, my second child – my body weight was all over the place.

This image from near Wapanocca NWR in eastern Arkansas shows the flock of snow geese after they came up out of the field. I regret my lens could only get a small portion of them. Hundreds can be seen here but thousands were flying. The noise of all the honking was very audibly impressive; a real attention getter.

Recently got a cheap Opteka 500mm mirror lens. This is not what I expected it's first nice image to be, but it seems like it is quite good for that.
