Speckled bush cricket (a young larva) after a walk through the flower of a evening primrose. Then she cleaned the feelers of the pollen. These are pulled several times with the help of the forefoot through the "mouth".

Thank you all so much for your comments & faves.
Taken with Canon FD 50mm F3.5 Macro / Full Frame Sensor / Natural Light / Darktable.
Starting to find my way in Darktable.
Herning, Denmark
The red light here comes from the bowling sign as seen on the previous photo. I wanted to take a photo of the red sign from a different angle, but it was not possible because the area was fenced in. Anyway I turned the camera and took this one. It was complete dark but if I moved a little bit, a sensor would register it and a lamp would turn on and the area would be flooded in white light.
I'm pleased with the result. It has a certain mood. And I'm glad it is in focus.
Though I do have technologically advanced cameras, I tend to prefer older cameras (all these are second-hand cameras with a 16MP sensor) and use them manually. I am not rejecting technological excellence and sophisticated algorithms. All I am saying is that I have more joy when working manually and that Fuji's old 16MP sensor is really good enough for my purposes. This shot was done with my new (ten year old) Fuji X-Pro1.

Plenty of sensors on this one including those ostentatious radars, a spinny round thing and a non-spinny round thing. All a little overblown?

I had read about this camera (Canon PowerShot SX70 HS) and its great superzoom, 1360mm equivalent in 35mm.
I thought it would be a good choice for shooting birds into the distance and to avoid to carry on my heavyweight Tamron 150-600mm lens.
It was a great error. Please, DON'T BUY THIS CAMERA !!!!
The camera has not a good aperture and the maximun speed is only 1/2000s. Anyway I bought it.
After to try it, the results have been horrible.
Its sensor is very small and the noise in every photo is too big, EVEN SHOOTING at ISO 200.
Moreover, the sharpness in photos is not good, and is worse after edition to trying to correct the noise.
Rotkehlchen sind Teilzieher. Bei uns sind sie ganzjährig anzutreffen, Rotkehlchen aus kälteren Gefilden ziehen dagegen im Winter in den Mittelmeerraum und den Nahen Osten. Dieses kleine gefiederte Wunder besitzt ein besonderes Protein im Auge, das es ihm ermöglicht das Magnetfeld der Erde zu sehen. Es weiß also immer in welche Himmelsrichtung es fliegt.
Tech. Detail: Die Lichtsituation im Wald war wie so oft schwierig. Die hohe ISO hat mit dem Vollformatsensor ganz gut funktioniert, die 1/160s war freihändig möglich wg. der Bildstabilisierung im Objektiv. Ich habe mit dem Sigma Zoom gute Erfahrungen bis runter zu einer 1/60s gemacht.

Robins are partial migrants. They can be found here all year round, whereas robins from colder regions migrate to the Mediterranean and the Middle East in winter. This little feathered wonder has a special protein in its eye that allows it to see the earth's magnetic field. It therefore always knows in which direction it is flying.
Tech. Detail: The lighting situation in the forest was, as is often the case, difficult. The high ISO worked well with the full-frame sensor, and the 1/160s was possible freehand due to the image stabilization in the lens. I had good experiences with the Sigma zoom down to 1/60s.
If you want to see more images of Robins please look into my corresponding album

A little experimentation here. Mostly processed with Silver Efex Pro, but then played with split toning in Lightroom, along with adding some grain to hide blemishes and processing artifacts. (The play with split toning was motivated by the marvelous work of Julius Tjintjelaar.) I also wore out the healing brush on this one---my sensor filter is looking as if it's been sneezed on repeatedly. I ordered a whole host of cleaning supplies, and I'm hoping they do the trick.

This thing is too much fun. I'm glad sensor size has finally caught up to my needs (and for a reasonable price). Manhattan Beach Pier during the King Tides last week. Mavic 3 sky-high straight down. I'm not sure I agree with the "top-down" label these types of pics get. It's not the top. There's definitely more above me. I prefer look-down. But then again, I don't get to decide what things are called. I sound like a Boomer. But I'm not. I swear.
On a rainy evening, the "Popradské Pleso" lake in the Tatras mountains, Slovakia.
This shot was taken with a mobile phone, as my camera broke down at the very beginning of this trip. I locked the ISO setting of the phone to 100 ISO to try to get as much as possible out of the camera phone, and then resorted to post-processing to try to get a quality image.
For post-processing, I used darktable. I used non-local means denoising, and adjusted the tone curves to have a strong highlight in the center of the image. I use both the equalizer filter (in clarity mode) and the local contrast filter, with masks selecting the center of the image, to increase the contrast gradually toward the center. My goal was to make more visible the different layers of mountains.
Then, I worked a lot on the lower part of the image, the lake, to enhance the highlights in the reflection. For this, I started with a strong modification of the tone curves. However, this created a lot of noise as the sensor of the phone is not too good in the shadows. To fight this noise, applied a set of filters only on the lower part of the image: I used a stronger non-local means that I combined with a wavelet-based denoising (using the "profiled" denoising filter of darktables) as these have different types of artifacts. To cancel out the artifacts, I added to these a low-pass filter that smooths out the image. On top of this, I added artificial grain, to restore the grain of the image destroyed while smoothing.
Finally, I worked a bit on the clouds. I wanted to crop the top of the image, in order to focus more on the horizon line, but I was interested in the shapes of the cloud. So I used a liquify filter to warp these clouds down. Last, in a minor and classic trick, I created a vignetting-like effect by making the top and left clouds darker with a tone-curve filter.

Archive frame from 2015 inspired by a similar frame I spotted in a gallery and remembered I had something like it on the HD somewhere.
I'd originally discarded the image due to the Fujifilm logo (reversed) reflected back into the sensor by the ND filter. This was an issue with the Fuji XF 14mm f/2.8 (only) that only came to light [sic] on return to Tas. I later tried inking the lettering ring out with matt black paint which improved it a little but sold the lens instead. Pity - remarkably crisp is the XF 14mm. Ruined a whole bunch of shots though. PS has now become my friend ;-)

Alberich's Decadence is a surveying ship currently crewed by four luckless souls.
A significant portion of the build is modular, built around a triangular hull with a narrow corridor stretching the full length of the ship. The crew can travel between the cockpit, cargo docks, and a sensor control room. Most sections can be swapped around as needed.
This build was assembled in July 2023 as one of two entries for a contest held on Instagram & Discord, and it joins the ranks of builds I finally had time to lightly edit the photos of.
If your going to attempt long exposure photography, you must make sure your sensor is clean, otherwise it will show every little speck of dust or dirt.
The image above had so many sensor spots I simply gave up, I had to crop the sky as that area had a lot and even using Lightrooms spot removal didn’t really help matters. It could have been quite a nice photo too. I’m no expert but I think different apertures show up sensor spots differently, maybe somebody could enlighten me in comments. So if you are going to attempt long exposure photography, especially if the scene is quite minimal as it is in this photo, check your sensor and if needed give it a good clean, it’s better to do that than faffing about later on the computer.
Btw, the photo was taken on the Northumberland coast near Dunstanburgh castle.
Well, the photographs of this series are probably nothing special, certainly not in terms of composition, or execution and accuracy. Yet I think or hope, there also is a place for this kind of thing in life (and on Flickr).
I feel these images have a subtleness, some kind of gentle in-the-moment-ness that I find very relaxing.
The halation and the thin DOF that comes with the wide aperture diverts the eye from too much detail, it simplifies and brings the muted vintage color palette in the foreground, which has some painterly quality to it.
I don't really get tired of looking at them, just enjoying the colors; but maybe it's just me, having the memories of taking them that provoke this type of emotional response?
Either way, perhaps some of you like staring at them too for a bit :)
