Conservation status: Vulnerable
This tall waterbird with its dagger-like bill can be found all across North America. Great blue herons will eat almost anything within striking distance of their long beak. While fish makes up a majority of their diet, these birds stalk everything from insects to small mammals.
These birds can be spotted around shorelines and in shallow marshes, either slowly wading through the water or waiting patiently for their prey.
Once their next meal is spotted, they will stretch out their long neck and freeze in place. When the moment is right, they strike with their blade-like bill.
Male Bearded Tit surveying the misty fen. The mist wasn't expected - and didn't lift until the Beardies had long gone, but as long as they weren't too far away it gives a lovely soft light and a bit more of a mysterious background (no pun intended!).
When the weather is bad, you will at least get something a bit different.
Beardies have a very long tail and very short wings, both designed to give them maximum manouvrability between the reed stems.
Taken in Norfolk.
This shows how flexible tern wings are. After diving, terns shake water off as it is extra weight. Tern will rotate body 180 degrees, while wings remain in normal topside position.

This triptych was made using two separate photos. The Water Fountain was cropped to allow for the extra panels. On the second image I panned with the camera moving to my right. For the final image, I turned the camera quickly 90 degrees and the panning stopped immediately.

Lots of flies here. But I remember, that there used to be so many flies at times, the dead flies were covering the floor of certain rooms of the castle some centimetres high. No really. It was horrible. This horse is called Ninja. But it's very nice and didn't kill anyone. ;)
Northern Wheatear, juvenile
I first saw him flying over the cliff to the sea so i ran or more like walked as fast as i could through soft sand and through my bins i could see him having a wash in the surf but as i sped towards him he flew back inland. After i finally caught up with him he was drying himself off on the posts. Hard work but worth it in the end. What a lovely little bird

Kinetic Photograph made with one single long exposure shot, printed straight out of camera.
If you’d like to read more details about how the shot is made see below. And for more of my kinetic photographs here’s my set, "Drawing with Light"

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.
The water droplets fly as a grizzly bear shakes water off her coat, Chilko Lake, British Columbia. Of course how effective that is when she's in shoulder deep water is debatable.

Hi a travel image from India a few years back , a camel trader tries to shake off the desert sand :)

This is a view of the Cuillins seen from Elgol on the Isle Of Skye looking across Loch Scavaig on quite a stormy day. I love stormy days on Skye.

Sometimes the loon looks elegant and other times comical. Here he is shaking off after diving for food.

Sid shaking out after his well earned evening bath. For around 12 days he has been collecting food and leaving his fecal sacs on the old whirligig. While I was cleaning them off this afternoon Sid was laying on another 😆😅 We are expecting them to fledge any day now
Just up from a fishing dive, the first thing to do is shake! Perfect for an effect if you happen to be lucky enough to be ready.

Thanks a lot for your visit, fave and comments. Its truly appreciated!
I was trying to get some in-flights of the hummingbirds in our backyard the other day. Our yard was still shaded so even at ISO 2000 this was shot at 1/25th of a second. I thought it was interesting as it shows the range of wing movement. You might ask, Todd, why did you shoot it at +1/3 EV exposure compensation. Well, it's a little technique I call "not checking your settings". [sigh]

The birdbath emptier!
Speaking of shaking it off, if you've found I'm not following you anymore, it's because I'm slowly deleting those people who never comment or fave my images. It does need to be mutual sometimes ok.

We were walking around the lake and stopped at one of the small docks. While we were looking towards the other end of the lake, we heard a huge splash and looked in time to see this Osprey coming out of the water with a fish. She circled around and around us to give more shots but of course, they are backlit. We missed the dive, but love seeing them come out of the water and shake!
