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 is not the Norman mentioned in the previous photo description but another very cute draft cross type horse. We caught him having a marvelous roll in the snow and is shaking the extra off here. Sorry for the tight crop, but he was quite far away and there was another horse that wasn't adding to composition so I cut him out! LOL Have a great day everyone. We are expecting snow here later on I think. :)

I had to revisit this Green heron (Butorides virescens) and its feather (un)ruffling pose. I've not seen it since this one visit.

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.

  

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. ;)

As always I extend my sincere gratitude to all who are kind enough to comment and fave my photos or even stop by and just have a look. It is very much appreciated.

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.

Not your booty, but just a head shake for this feeding Trumpeter Swan.

Jim and I stopped at our favorite date shake stand just outside of Palm Springs.

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

Kingfisher, female

Kingfishers spend much time preening and shaking out their feathers

European Robin

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

I didn't hear TS singing, but maybe this Red-tailed Hawk was singing it. Central Bucks PA.

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!

Beautiful bald eagle I was watching the other day in the pouring rain. Landed up on the old stump and shaking the water off and holding his wings out to try to dry them some.

After getting out of the water, even for a minute, she has a full ritual of shaking and rubbing to get the water out of her coat. Everything in the boat gets wet.
