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".

Finally, the temps feel like Spring as 2016's first Honey Bee (for me) visits an awakening Grecian Wildflower in my garden.
My first digital camera ... I think the sensor was 2 or 3 megapixels. :)

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

For example, I said that I was shooting in RAW mainly. True. However, I am just about to reserve one of my cameras for JPEG shots only. This is a JPEG shot done with the old X-Pro1 and a fast Fuji lens. The camera I am preparing for this will be the Fuji X-E2, also an 'old' (second hand) camera, but one with interesting features I am wishing to exploit. In fact, the equally old 16MP sensor is, in my view, one of the best ones Fuji has ever made. We'll see.

I am still playing with the idea of flight and flying. This idea came to me out of the blue and then took some futzing around to pull together. I had fun and frustration creating it. The making of the image put a lot of stress on my computer and it slowed down a lot. I also broke my mouse and had to use my laptop sensor for the "cutting out" work. Regardless, I used a few techniques I haven't visited in a while on this one and that was kinda cool for me.
I thought this worked for the ODC- nature abstract on a couple of levels

Taken in the early hours of this morning (approx. 3.00am) no wonder I feel tired!
Alarm was set for 1.30 - cloud obscured the skies, but then started to clear. I had already set the equipment up in the garage and then just had to open the door and avoid knocking it all over in the dark.
Not the ideal location as there is quite a lot of light pollution locally, but couldn't face driving to the coast after having been on the road all day. Also wanted to have a decent point of reference in the shots.
This is a composite of about 10 shots and there are at least 5 shooting star trails emanating from the North East Perseids atmosphere entry point. If you zoom in you can see a hint of the green / red colouring (green from Magnesium traces in the debris, red from it burning Nitrogen and Oxygen in the atmosphere).
There was also a very spectacular 'fireball' - of course not where the camera was pointing but low to the east it was very bright, reminded me of that Russian dash cam video.
Great to see - and did seem to be more frequent that previous occasions. Counted about 70 over a 2 and a half hour period.
If you want to try it, the settings over are a good starting point. To work out your exposure use the 600 rule - divide 600 by the true focal length of your lens (so 35mm on full frame 17 seconds, on crop sensor 10 seconds). This will avoid you introducing star trails on individual shots.
Sturdy tripod and shutter release locked down - or interval timer if you camera has one (my 7D Mk II does but would have also introduced more noise and captured less light with the shorter exposure).
This was my first attempt at a combined 4 hour exposure. The seeing was average, and got increasing worse, with clouds in the middle, my camera ran out of battery... always learning. It's the first time I even captured this though. Hoping to get more detail in the future!

WARNING: Don't try this at home!!!
Note: No real harm was done and the sensor and camera survived the (photoshop) experiment without any scratch or (water)damage 😉 Thanks for your concerns...
Thank you very much for your time, faves and comments. It's much appreciated.
Happy Macro Mondays

There was a potential of a very colorful sky this evening ... but alas no grand slam of a sky resulted here at least on the east side of Baltimore. It was a very long day at work so it was good that I was too tired to head off to a pretty spot for sunset as it turned out to be not so colorful.
So just like baseball, taking long exposures needs practice, so where better to go than five minutes from my door to the local school and baseball field. Been wanting to take a long exposure with a ball field anyway, so a couple minutes behind the lens after a long day felt like the thing to do.
I took one shot with the 9 Stop ND at f/20, and the histogram looked well at 240 seconds. While taking that shot I got the idea to "fill the bases" for the next long exposure. As it was getting darker I reduced to f/11 for the same 240 seconds, and then ran out to each base and stood there for about 60 seconds each counting in my head and posing at the base creating a ghost runner. This was all done in this one 240 second capture. I ran so fast between the bases you could not see me ... actually I walked quickly, still being invisible to the sensor.
So it was a grand slam sunset after all ;))
When I explained this capture to Ms. Krach, see just wanted to know when I got home if anyone we knew saw me at the bases posing like an idiot, shaking her head.
Stood on Stanage Edge this evening hoping someone would conveniently pose for my shot then this couple climbed up and even more conveniently there was something lodged in the lady's shoe. Literally straight out of camera apart from the dust removal on my sensor....
The much photographed lump of palagonite, pillow basalt, rhyolite, tuff, sundry sediments and ejecta widely known as Lómagnúpur (674 m) overlooking the Ring Road at Skeiðarársandur, South Iceland.
This end of the mountain dominates the road from both directions and Lómagnúpur is considered the home of the giant Járngrímur.
The mountain's top is about 1.5 million years old and the formation has seen all manner of terraforming - vulcanimsm, glaciation and raised seabed/sea cliff erosion.
Previously offered up a horrible mono of this scene and while this one is in colour - I've also replaced the mono in the Iceland album :-)

Misty morning became very sunny and clear after a short time. So this was the very last chance to get those fog on the sensor...

The 1/2.5" sensor of the Canon PowerShot SD630 I am trying to repair. The gears look ok and I got the lens retracted. I'll try putting it back together tomorrow and see if it works. Wish me luck.
Okay, this one was a ride (to develop), ..again. Part 7 of the "lost gorge series", in no particular order, but this is still from the 1st 1/3 of the gorge.
Felt kind of ambivalent about the whole thing. For one, I'm pleased that I could 'keep it together', and not totally blow out hightlights and / or shadows.
By the way, these panos are all one exposure in terms of settings, I'd rather spend more time doing some tests (into the bright areas, into the shadows etc. and then find a middle ground based on the histogram) and optimizing things, than mess around during the sequence, that's asking for troubles. It was necessary to do some local developments (top, middle and bottom row came out very different), which I try to avoid and only do if it is promising, cause this escalates quickly with that number of images.
I felt compelled to show it all, but the false-color development got really busy with tons of details and a bit too HDR-y for my taste, but technically it really is even though I did not do any bracketing. I aim at making it look natural though, well as natural as an IR false-color pano can be. I had to stand back for a little bit until I got the courage to crop, which ultimately made the image more digestible, less visually stimulating, highlighting the essential parts that sort of help anchor the eye also, I think.
The stream makes just a slight bend here, most of which you can see in the pano is due to the wide horizontal angle (maybe around 240°) and also due to being in the lower part of the panorama.
Can you find the small sandy batch to the right, this little island in the pool?
You can see it here in this pano to the left, displaying how different things can look, depending on the angle and technique:
