Ok now this was much easier than I originally anticipated. Had the camera on the tripod and put it in continuas shooting mode. The focus was set to manual so there was no focus acquiring delay between the shots. Opened the first two images in Photoshop. Selected the second image (cntr+c or command+c in mac) and pasted it on top of the first one. Then went to the layers menu and selected "hide all". After that I used the brush tool to reveal the second image and the first one stayed the way it was. Repeated this step for the rest of the 7 images.

Well, yesterday I was mostly in Regents Park in London, England.....where I happened upon these baby Egyptian Geese. There were a pair of Goslings behind the protective fence, which stops dogs and people from getting at them, but also hinders my ambitions to get a decent shot in!
It's worth the trade off I guess as there are some stupid people about who let their dogs do as they wish!!!
Anyhoo...I had to lay partly in the road and shoot between the bars of the fence to get this shot, almost getting run over by the Park Keepers in the process!! They had loads of room to drive passed me but kept beeping their horn for me to move out of the way...Grrrrr!!!
Oh well, I hope your all having a great Week..:)
Egyptian goose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ The Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) is a member of the duck, goose, and swan family Anatidae. It is native to Africa south of the Sahara and the Nile Valley.
Egyptian geese were considered sacred by the Ancient Egyptians, and appeared in much of their artwork. They have been raised for food and extensively bred in parts of Africa since they were domesticated by the ancient Egyptians. Because of their popularity chiefly as ornamental bird, escapes are common and small feral populations have become established in Western Europe.
Taxonomy ~ The Egyptian goose is believed to be most closely related to the shelducks (genus Tadorna) and their relatives, and is placed with them in the subfamily Tadorninae. It is the only extant member of the genus Alopochen, which also contains closely related prehistoric and recently extinct species. mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data suggest that the relationships of Alopochen to Tadorna need further investigation.
Its generic name is based on Greek ἀλώπηξ ('alopex') + χήν ('chen') = "fox-goose", referring to the colour of its back.
Description ~ It swims well, and in flight looks heavy, more like a goose than a duck, hence the English name. It is 63–73 cm (25–29 in) long.
The sexes of this species are identical in plumage but the males average slightly larger. There is a fair amount of variation in plumage tone, with some birds greyer and others browner, but this is not sex- or age-related. A large part of the wings of mature birds is white, but in repose the white is hidden by the wing coverts. When it is aroused, either in alarm or aggression, the white begins to show. In flight or when the wings are fully spread in aggression, the white is conspicuous.
The voices and vocalisations of the sexes differ, the male having a hoarse, subdued duck-like quack which seldom sounds unless it is aroused. The male Egyptian goose attracts its mate with an elaborate, noisy courtship display that includes honking, neck stretching and feather displays. The female has a far noisier raucous quack that frequently sounds in aggression and almost incessantly at the slightest disturbance when tending her young.
Distribution ~ This species breeds widely in Africa except in deserts and dense forests, and is locally abundant. They are found mostly in the Nile Valley and south of the Sahara. While not breeding, it disperses somewhat, sometimes making longer migrations northwards into arid regions of the Sahel. It has also been introduced elsewhere: Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, and Germany have self-sustaining populations which are mostly derived from escaped ornamental birds. Escapes have also bred on occasion in other places, such as Florida and New Zealand. The British population dates back to the 18th century, though only formally added to the British list in 1971. In Britain, it is found mainly in East Anglia, in parkland with lakes. It was officially declared a pest in the U.K. in 2009.
Behaviour ~ This is a largely terrestrial species, which will also perch readily on trees and buildings. Egyptian geese typically eat seeds, leaves, grasses, and plant stems. Occasionally, they will eat locusts, worms, or other small animals.
Both sexes are aggressively territorial towards their own species when breeding and frequently pursue intruders into the air, attacking them in aerial "dogfights". Neighbouring pairs may even kill another's offspring for their own offsprings' survival as well as for more resources.
This species will nest in a large variety of situations, especially in holes in mature trees in parkland. The female builds the nest from reeds, leaves and grass, and both parents take turns incubating eggs. Egyptian geese usually pair for life. Both the male and female care for the offspring until they are old enough to care for themselves.
If you ever wonder why free-divers have safety divers, this sequence, top left to bottom right, should clear that up.Shallow water blackout left this man vulnerable but he was fine within a couple of minutes and will try again tomorrow at the Kona Depth Challenge 2018. Great job, guys!
Out in the sandy area, I asked Marketa to plow through the sand while I shot her. Little did I know that she was going to do a pirouette at the end, caught here in this sequence, before she came to the surface.
The series yet continues with another snap of the ERODE's White beast raging past with the Island (so called Express) to Bangalore !!
One of 10 photos on display through 15-January 2017 at the Art Complex Museum in Duxbury, MA, USA, part of an exhibit of 90 night photos by the Greater Boston Night Photographers.
Here's a composite of 5 shots that I took recently showing the landing sequence of a Hoverfly.
I have always wanted to take a Hoverfly shot with the fly hovering above the flower and my previous attempts have been a thumping failures.
This time around I made sure that I had the correct equipment (a strudy tripod) and , patience. Luckily the light was good and the Hoverfly was very persistent and helpful (very lucky me). I took more than 50 shots and was lucky to get at least 15 which had the fly in focus :-) It was challenging try to focus on the fly with a big lens in manual mode.
And yes, I have to work some more on my compositing skills...
Hope you are all having a great week!

After watching this video a few times, I realized that she leverages her legs a bit to get her topside off the ground, which really reminds me of how I get out of bed (and off the ground) more and more often...as I gracefully age that is, hahaha.
Anyway, I created this short video from a sequence of 22 pics that I took of this beauty, rolling happily on her back in a Sedge meadow at Hallo Bay, in Katmai National Park.
