Slow Shutter Speed

I had 3 days away in June as part of my recuperation progress and visited Inverpolly Nature Reserve in the Scottish Highlands.
Using the camera on a tripod with a slow shutter speed to get more light on the foreground I was lucky as a 'murder of crows' started wheeling about, alas the slow shutter speed rendered them a bit blurry.
Just returned back from a US business travel with ability to stop in Chicago. On the way to one targetted view points, I took this shot from Roosevelt Rd. A boat came just along and the shutter speed was just great to have it crisp on the overall scenery. Have a great week ahead. Stay safe and healthy. Regards, Udo.

The first of the Leafcutter Bees, that I'm raising, to emerge from it's cocoon. I think it's beautiful. Photographed in Maryland.
11 image focus stack, taken with the camera hand held. Canon 80D, Canon 65mm MPE macro lens, Canon twin macro flash. Aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 400, flash power set to 1/32
Another journey into the world of manual focus — this time with the TTArtisan 100mm f/2.8 Macro X2 lens on the Canon EOS R7. Handheld shot, using natural light.
Aperture f/5.6, shutter speed 1/320 s.
The star: likely Hycleus polymorphus, exploring a flower dusted with pollen — like a child smeared with biscuits. A second beetle peeks from the top right, but neither was in the mood for a double portrait. 😉
Technical challenges:
Even the lightest breeze can nudge the subject out of focus.
Nature is always moving — insects don’t pose for long.
Distance estimation must be done instantly — no time for refocus.
Aperture selection is crucial to balance sharpness and dreamy blur.
Despite all this, the experience was excellent. The lens feels solid in hand, responds well to light, manual settings are intuitive, and the images are sharp. In tandem with the R7, this manual lens has become my go-to companion for walks in nature.
With a shutter speed of 1/10thsec, up to my waist in water (wearing waders) and holding the camera inches above the water whilst balancing on boulders, The canon R5 with the RF 24-105 lens, demonstrates how remarkable the stabilisation is on this camera and lens.
I was down at the lake, when I heard a commotion behind me.
I spun around to see this Grey Heron taking off. I zoomed in and tried to get it in frame. But my panning was only partially successful, as I didn't get it all in frame.
At 1/320s, I obviously wasn't set up for an action shot? So wasn't expecting it to be any good? But the slow shutter speed gave some nice motion blur in the wings, and to my surprise, the details of the head were better than I expected?

Take my picture and get it over with!
Notch and Jr. still come through my yard every day.
I took this last night as I was going out once again to take fly masks off the horses.
This time Notch didn't act all tough towards me, he just stood nice and still and let me take his picture. I was glad he was so still because even with the ISO cranked way up, the shutter speed was still very slow. It was after 9 PM when I took this.
For this capture I reduced the shutter speed down to 2.5 seconds to try and keep from blowing out the light on the white lighthouse ... but still get a bit of the Milky Way there in the sky.
The last time I was in the swamp, the sun shone through the fog and filled everything with a golden glow (see picture in the comment). This time the fog wasn't as thick but the sun didn't have much power. But it was enough to create beautiful pink ribbons in the sky.

Went to visit the northern pygmy owl the other day because the light was so much better with no shadow. Unfortunately he wasn't in a cooperative mood and stayed far away. I was hoping for a flight shot so I kept the shutter speed high, In the end he flew away from me to go down into the valley.
Embracing the blur on the streets of central Galway. First of a short series of images featuring intentionally long shutter speeds to blur motion, but capture the stationary... with varying results, I might add. Shield your eyes, landscape photography fans.
Yesterday at the Kamera Börse I was made a sweet offer on a KMZ Horizont. I love the panoramic format and had wanted a Horizont for quite some time so I bought it, with the expectation it would need some clean up and new light seals. Well... the first few frames suggest it's doing just fine. Checking fast shutter speed will have to wait some more clement weather. Oh, and I got a Canon 35mm f/2.8 in new FD mount, another thing I had been after for quite some time.

These rocks near Bandol in Oregon, shot in blue hour, provided a lovely subject at a variety of shutter speeds, both longer and shorter than the image above.

These little birds were a delight. A dawn trip with the early morning sun, I struggled to hold the camera at such a low shutter speed, 500mm + 1.4 tc and no tripod or VR .but managed a few sharpish shots.

I can't think of a better way to wake up to then an oceanside sunrise. The sound of the waves pounding the shore break while the sun lights the clouds making them glow all kinds of reds and pinks giving way to a bright blue sky and ocean.

Challenge Photo - slow shutter speed. The shutter speed creates the blur while a burst of flash freezes part of the action.
Colletes aestivalis. Rare? or Not Rare? This is a Heuchera specialist. Heuchera is planted everywhere, why is the species not seen and seen by some as a potential species of concern. A few things pilgrim. First most of the Heuchera out there are part of a hybrid Heuchera swarm (I like the ring of that phrase, but, sadly, it will not often come up in casual conversation). OK, so C. aestivalis is not interested in these hybrids. Also, wild Heuchera is hard to find and its little brown be hard to see. We now know of several populations some from areas where H. americana have been planted. So, 2 lessons. 1. Plant H. americana. 2. Look for bees on H. americana and maybe our friend will be there. Brooke Goggins took the picture and the specimen was found in Virginia, but I can't recall which group!

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

A tricolored Heron ... subtle colors and patterns. Perfect balance and symmetry. Then there's the shoddy craftmanship of the bench!
The Tricolored or Louisiana Heron does not swim but wades in deep water. Audubon called this bird "Lady of the Water" because of its grace and beauty. It resembles the Great Blue Heron but is much smaller and more delicate. Its white belly clearly distinguishes it from all other Herons. It strides briskly through the water, sometimes running after fish and catching them with a thrust of the beak. This action is so fast that it can only be caught with a shutter speed of 1/4000th of a second or less!
The name Louisiana Heron is very misleading because it also lives in coastal states from North Carolina to Texas, especially in Florida.

HacÃa tiempo que no subÃa retrato alguno a mi galerÃa; es por ello que hoy me propuse volverlo hacer, en esta ocasión, uno de cierta naturaleza documental.
Trátase del retrato de una lavandera haciendo la colada al tradicional modo en que antaño se acometÃa, que tomé hace cinco años en la Feria de Tradiciones Populares de Yeste (Albacete), tratando de captar el movimiento con una lenta velocidad de obturación (1/30) .
La Feria de Tradiciones Populares de Yeste viene celebrándose todos los años a últimos de Octubre, constituyendo un pintoresco e interesante retablo de menesteres, costumbres y oficios tradicionales, que los lugareños recrean en el patio de armas y dependencias del castillo, a la vista del visitante, a fin de dar a conocer el magno y caracterÃstico serrano cultural legado que atesoran.
-English:
It's been a long time since I last uploaded a portrait to my gallery, so I have today chosen to upload another one, this time in some documentary sense.
It is a portrait of a washerwoman doing the washing using the most traditional laundry methods, captured five years ago in the Yeste Folk Traditions Fair (Yeste, Albacete, Spain), trying to capture motion with a slow shutter speed (1/30).
Yeste Folk Traditions Fair is held every year in late October, providing a picturesque and interesting display of matters, customs and traditional trades, which the locals recreate in the castle courtyard and, showing the great and distinctive cultural heritage they keep to visitors.

The same spot on the Eldred river with high water flows, shutter speeds of 1/20 and 1/640 of a second.
Panned shot of US Navy R4D 50783 as it lands at Old Warden following its display at the Shuttleworth Collection's 2025 Military Air Show.
Aircraft: Commemorative Air Force Dallas/Forth Worth Wing Douglas R4D-6S 50783 "Ready 4 Duty".
Location: Old Warden Aerodrome (EGTH), near Biggleswade, Bedfordshire.
Getting motion blur in the wings while panning with the bird's movement at 1/15 sec. This was a foggy, windless morning, so the water was as flat as glass giving a lovely reflection.
