It was a personal highlight of 2025 to finally do Sharp Edge, having read so much about it and watched so many Youtube videos. Thankfully the day I chose was dry and the rock was grippy. People lose their lives here each year, mostly through attempting it in the wrong weather conditions.
This image is also perhaps a strained metaphor for this point in time, with the world balancing on a knife edge etc? :-) Let's hope things get better in 2026.. Happy New Year everybody!

Take care when picking brambles, you may come across some sharp thorns! A close up of some nasty thorns seen at the local park.
Es ist dieselbe Kirche wie im Bild davor - allerding nun in HDR Qualität! Die Bearbeitungsschritte sind ähnlich aber nicht ganz identisch... Der Bildausschnitt ist etwas anderst gewählt wegen der Perspektivenkorrektur. Welche ist besser in punkto
Perspektive, Schärfe und Farbe???
It's the same church as in the previous picture - but now in HDR quality! The processing steps are similar but not quite identical... The cropping is slightly different because of the perspective correction. Which one is better in terms of
perspective, sharpness and color?
Tawny Frogmouth ( Podargus strigoides) provided this special display later in the afternoon. Obviously the time to wake up was approaching but, possibly, just a reaction to that human with a lens attached to him: oh, it's you again... so boring.
it has been such a grey day, the first image has almost no color, so I decided to do another monochrome editing with a slightly different crop. .

Debated between Cooper's hawk and Sharp-shinned hawk. Had settled on Cooper's hawk but was happy to be corrected as it is a lifer for me. It was perched on a branch overlooking a large bird feeder and was not at all bothered by my presence.
Eurasian Oystercatcher, Haematopus ostralegus, Scholekster
I was lying on the wet beach at low tide, photographing these shy oystercatchers. One bird kept foraging about a meter behind the other, and I liked the visual effect of having one oystercatcher sharp while the second fades softly out of focus in the background.

Sometimes you need to take a risk to get the shot you want. This is a viewpoint from the side of the road, but standing in a normal position there's a cable hanging in the view... so lying down on the road was the only option to make this image. Only shortly before the train was at the right spot though, our ears the most concentrated of our senses.

Auto Mamiya/Sekor 55mm f/1.4
I received this lens late yesterday afternoon. It's going to be a keeper. I got a super terrific deal on Ebay for a lens that looks brand new and about 75% less that other sellers top price. A fabulous deal. I was lucky to get it on the auction for about one half of what I was willing to spend.
These two shots I have posted were hand held and still very sharp.
A carnivorous animal in the same family as weasels, badgers, mink etc. that lives primarily on a diet of fish but also includes frogs, crayfish, crabs and even a few waterfowl.
A coat of long guard hairs over their insulated underfur keeps them warm and dry so they can stay comfortable throughout the North American winters. They are very successful at hunting prey in our rivers, streams and ponds aided by their webbed feet, long muscular tail and sharp claws coupled with the ability to hold their breath for extended periods. As a preventative measure to becoming waterlogged they do spend a lot of time on land and enter the water only to hunt or travel much unlike the sea otters that spend most of their lives in the ocean. An overland sprint of 10 to 18 miles while searching for prey is not uncommon.
River otters seem to have the ability to live alone or in pairs but are quick to socialize in groups when other members are encountered. After mating and going through a gestation period of 80 - 90 days a female will give birth to 1 - 5 pups in a den called a holt or couch which she excavates under tree roots or a cache of rocks. Prior to the birth the female called a bitch or sow will drive the male (dog or boar) away and the pups or cubs will be tended to by the female and older offspring if still around. The pups will begin emerging from the den at about 1 month of age and mom will entice them into the water for their first swim at about 2 months. After the pups are weaned dad may return and help raise the juveniles until probably 1 year of age. Females attain sexual maturity at 2 years of age and males at 3.
River otters range in size from 10 to 33 lbs and 2.5 to 5 ' in length with females being about 1/3 the size of males. When not hunting prey they spend much time playing and frolicking with each other. This individual is one of a trio that has clawed its way onto the ice to enjoy the spoils caught underwater.
