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".
Punktierte Zartschrecke (eine junge Larve) nach einer Wanderung durch die Blüte einer Nachtkerze. Danach hat sie die Fühler vom Blütenstaub gereinigt. Dabei werden diese mehrfach mit Hilfe der Vorderfüße durch den "Mund" gezogen.

Finally, the temps feel like Spring as 2016's first Honey Bee (for me) visits an awakening Grecian Wildflower in my garden.
Another try with GIMP. This time there is something more than a little post-processing: so this place exists only in my mind! There is no lake over that hill! :D In this case I think it's just a image processing and no more photography.

Diese kleine Statue bewacht den Dorfeingang von Großmoor. Ist es eine Statue vom Höllenhund? Eigentlich sieht er doch ganz nett aus.
Das Aufnahmedatum ist falsch. Kameradatum stimmte nicht.

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

The incredible combination of a modern small smartphone sensor from a 3x camera module (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) in combination with Lightrooms AI denoise feature (or the one from Camera RAW in Photoshop or Bridge)
Just look at the parasols in the background
No Sensor Ship
No sensors or modern equipment showing on this one

Took this in B&W (RAW+JPG), but the +2 contrast setting which I use a lot doesn't do well with high ISO and just looks ugly. I usually try to get it right in camera, but the RAW file is nice fallback to have.

Decided to dust off one of my old Minolta lenses and see how it would perform on one of the modern larg(ish) sensors. I was very pleased with the results,particularly liking the bokeh if gives at F4 and am willing to sacrifice some "sharpness" for this. So, here are two offerings of some of the wild flowers on the verges today around the village. This being Wild Geranium - I think?
Mil Mi-24 Superhind Mk5 "Krokodil" Heavy Helicopter Gunship (Krokodil = Crocodile, Russian)
--------------------
An even more massive and destructive beast than the previous variant. A beast of a helicopter, it is equipped with engines twice as powerful as it's predecessor, enormous turboshaft engines used to turn the two contra-rotational rotors, and two more on the sides are used as backup, more power, and speed making this newer variant good even when fully loaded with people and munitions. Their exhaust is also used for the NOTAR system built into this huge bird.
It is equipped with new equipment ranging from imaging and sensors to radar and weapons. A new camera system is attached to the nose for more accurate gunning, along with eye tracking equipment so that the user can aim simply by pointing their eyes. The new, durable, gatling cannon is now equipped with more than four times the ammunition than it's predecessor.
It can still transport 10 people, not including the pilots, but it can do so at a speed more than two times faster than the previous variant due to it's new engines. It is now considered one of the fastest transport helicopters in the world, setting aside the fact that it can both transport and gunship at the same time.
It isn't that much of a stealthy helicopter, however, but it does feature a slightly reduced RCS. It features two wings with 4 pylons each, and 2 pylons on the bottom of the body. It's wings can give the helo around 15% of it's lift. The outermost pylons can only be equipped with air-to-air missiles, and it's underbody pylons only with either remote controlled autocannons or free-fall bombs. The 6 free pylons underneath the wings can be outfitted with rocket pods, guided missiles, autocannons, bombs, air-to-air missiles, sensor equipment, and more.
It is able to deliver long range missile strikes if a friendly unit in the area guides it (infantrymen can use their on-chest computers.)
As a latest addition, they are equipped with a powerful anti-missile laser equipped in the nose along with imaging suite and a detachable TLS built under the cockpit area aside from other weapon systems.

Story:
Captured in the heart of the Jalapão region, this panoramic nightscape reveals the raw beauty of Brazil’s Cerrado under a pristine Bortle 1 sky. Dominating the scene is the luminous arch of the Milky Way, stretching from one horizon to the other, its core glowing with interstellar dust, emission nebulae, and countless stars. The reddish tones near the galactic center are enhanced by the use of a modified sensor, revealing prominent H-alpha regions like the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae.
To the right, a striking column of Zodiacal Light rises—sunlight scattered by interplanetary dust—perfectly aligned with the ecliptic. Subtle green and red hues of airglow add a surreal touch to the lower sky, interacting with the warm tones of the dunes and the reflecting waters of the meandering stream. Buriti palms and native vegetation complete the composition, grounding this celestial spectacle in the unique landscape of the Brazilian savanna.
This image is not a blend but a multi-frame panorama, precisely captured to preserve the spatial relationships of both the terrestrial and astronomical elements. A technical and artistic tribute to one of the darkest skies in South America.

The iconic, sun-caught trolls of Reynisdrangar and the headland of Reynisfjall from beside the rock wall on the black sand beach in front of Vík í Mýrdal. South Iceland.
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 ;-)

This is (the upper floor) of one of two churches of a small semi-alpine village, counting just over 1K inhabitants.
Initially erected in 1414, but later in part rebuild a number of times due to earthquakes, fires and storms and located in a remote, very rural area it still has it all, iconography in gold, oil paintings causally sitting on the floor, rugs, books laying around, even a small organ.
This was mid summer and afternoon, a couple of years ago, very hot outside and I was surprised that the church was even open. I'm not religious and certainly not in favour of ideology generally, but I grew into liking churches, if nothing else but for their historic significance.
Entering was a weirdly intense experience somehow, it was cool inside and felt kind of private; it was obvious that there is literally nothing going on, no mass no tourists no nothing, and the traditional tiled stained glass windows bathed the inside in a warm soft light creating beautiful shadows along the arched sides and ceiling.
I really like how these turned out in the equirectangular projection, and that's why I didn't add the respective tag for Flickr to make it interactive. (Well, Flickr does it anyway :|, ..c'est la vie.)
It was a truly special atmosphere and the silence was magnificent, so I did take my time to enjoy just that (after the panorama work).
Technically this is complete spherical panorama, consisting of 12 individual photos and a equirectangular projection yielded 10580 x 5290px, ~56MP. And I again did it with f/3.5, not sure why, except for one reason, which isn't really a good or necessariy one.

The last rays of the setting sun strike the Tindfjallajökull Glacier, east of Hraunvellir, South Iceland.
Tindfjallajökull is just a 'small' glacier-capped volcano to the north of the infamous Eyjafjallajökull and the brooding, much larger Katla. The area forms the UNESCO listed Katla Geopark.

The dogs are dueling over the fence, causing the motion sensor lights to come on. Mooky and Kona need to chill. 100 Days of Darkness 8/100.
Ena san and Nakatsugawa Post Town from the ruins of Naegi Castle high above the Kiso River.
Gifu Prefecture, Japan.
One of the first pics on our walking tour of the Nakasendo Way. From the castle we made our way down the hillside, ambled along the riverbank before crossing the bridge in the lower left and on into Nakatsugawa itself.
Ena-san is but one mountain peak of the Kiso Mountain Range in the Chubu region of Japan and is located on the border between Nakatsugawa, in Gifu Prefecture and Achi, in Nagano Prefecture.
Ena-san is on the top 100 list of Japanese mountains and is part of the very scenic Japanese Alps in central Honshu.
Fairly harsh light and lots of haze around...
Fuji X-H1, XF 23/1.4, 1/950th sec at f/8, ISO 200
Contrasting colours. The sensor is sensitive to red, so you would normally reduce the saturation, but I left it as the camera setting, looks a bit strong, but a great impact, I think!.
Hang it out to dry
AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6E ED VR / Nikon D500
I shot this Swan from quite a distance and am impressed at how well the AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm has captured the expression on the Swan's eye. For a crop sensor camera, the Nikon D500 is also revealing it's capabilities
We were koming back from a wonderful day out in the kar...and I was trying differents settings on the kamera and shooting to a "there's no words to describe it" sunset... and well .. when i get home... and downloaded the piks.. he or she.. this presence was there.. I never saw it when I took the pik...
