The old field meadows of the campus in September. Slated for redevelopment as the university cashes in its land bank.

Taking pictures of lightning outdoors can be extremely dangerous. This short clip was taken while I was seeking safety in my garage.
The clip shows what I saw at 24 fps (don't blink), what the GoPro 10 captured at 240 fps, and what it would have looked like if slowing this 4x. This was a very quick strike.
City Fair, Portland, OR
I find images with a dominant red color are very difficult to post-process and this one is no exception. It took me several tries before I could get this image to a point that I liked.

Short, slow motion clip, of the two juvenile Peregrine Falcons
As a fledgling falcon stands undecided at the edge of a cliff, its sibling arrives just in time to share some tricks on how to efficiently “operate” its wings😊 Both falcons stood and flapped their wings for a few minutes and finally took off, one after another, to practice their flights.
Video captured with a Canon EOS 1DXII camera paired with a Canon 600mm f/4 IS II lens and 1.4x extender, at 840mm

I wasn't sure if I wanted to upload and post yet one more still or video shot at the Americana, as I pretty much beaten that horse to death. But this shot still looks pretty good, in my opinion, and so it deserves a place here.
There used to be an expensive restaurant at this location, but the pandemic forced it to shut down due to lack of business. The Gucci family probably hopes that their store will do better.
A video shot that i took of a moving abstract on a ceiling caused by sunlight reflecting off a nearby swimming pool. Slowed down the speed of video to give slow motion effect.

I wish to thank the following friends; (I can't list you all, so thanks to everyone who stops by my stream)

Photography
Waking early, staying up late, driving, walking, climbing rocks, swearing, falling, dropping filters, driving, talking, joking, sharing and capturing moments has been my hobby and passion for the last few years (well all my life but more so recently). Bundled together, for me, this is photography, and its much more than just pressing the shutter. Photography is a visual language, a universal medium of communication, an experience and a tribute. Watching the sky, learning about weather, checking the tides, studying the moon, the sun and the stars is what
drives me ..... but it's the people and friends I share these moments with that inspire me.
Pass it on
I learn from asking questions, and receiving tips, then I head out and try what I've been taught. Thanks to you for offering tips, advise, helping with settings, lens advise, camera info etc.
Here are a few things that I've learnt, that I'd like to pass onto you.
- You're only as good as your last good photo.
- When shooting a sunrise/sunset, always look behind you, you'll be surprised.
- The more you help others learn, the more you learn yourself.
- Ray machines are expensive, look after them, don’t lend them to your friends for too long.
- When shooting star trails or night photography, bring a book or a friend.
- Always plan to arrive early, and stay late, weather can change fast, wait for the right moment, you might not know when the right moment was until later, as it might appear on the drive home.
- Surround yourself with photographers that are better than you, that way you can strive to be better than them, and hopefully they will strive to be better than you.
- Always have a camera with you.
- Always wear shorts in summer, as the water is wet.
- Always reset your camera to your 'starting settings' when you get home, mine are ISO 100, f9 Av mode.
- Always download your images the day you shoot them, charge your batteries right away.
- Have fun.
Enjoy.

About One Million
One million (1,000,000) or one thousand thousand, is the natural number following 999,999 and preceding 1,000,001. The name is derived from Italian, where mille was 1,000, and 1,000,000 became milione.
In scientific notation, it is written as 1×106 or just 106. Physical quantities can also be expressed using the SI prefix mega, when dealing with SI units. For example, 1 megawatt equals 1,000,000 watts.
The word 'million' is common to the short scale and long scale numbering systems, unlike the larger numbers, which have different names in the two systems.
The million is sometimes used in the English language as a metaphor for a very large number, as in 'Never in a million years' and 'You're one in a million', or a hyperbole, as in 'I've walked a million miles'.
A pyramidal shaped hill 600 feet wide at the base and 100 feet high would weigh about a million tons.
Sterling Road, Toronto ON, 5 Oct 2020
A brownfield site which lay vacant for several years, and grew a fine old field meadow is now slated for redevelopment. Offices are planned. Toronto's Junction Triangle is about to lose another piece of wildscape which has been attracting my visual attention over the years.
This may be the meadow's last autumn.

If you have seen my 2021 Christmas video, you've seen this shot -- sort of. I shot it in both time-lapse and in slow motion. Since there was no place to put it in the video (it was meant to all be time-lapse shots), I'll put it here as a standalone piece. You can either watch it with the sound on, or watch it with the sound on mute. It works either way.
Taken with a GoPro 10 in super slow motion. I counted ~10 completed cloud to ground strikes in 1.3 seconds. Even slowing this clip 10x, the individual strikes were in rapid secession.
The next to last strike lingered as to appear frozen in time. A brief time later the final connection with the ground ended this rather intense second. For me, I mostly noticed the pair of strikes at the beginning. Don't blink.
Taken pre-dawn on 24 Jul.
Picture of the Day
The last strike (reflection off window) was about 1800 feet away. Listen to the thunder. I've slow the strikes by 25% and 10% real time speed. Taken 8 Jun with iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Three particular lightning stokes caught my attention from the storm of 30 July: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/28578553262/in/datepos... - taken at 30fps.
Lightning flashes are quick. Ones that last more than half a second are rarer. Some are a product of multiple stokes but many are slow spreaders (sometimes labeled as crawlers). Anyway, the strokes in this short clip are seen in real-time and 1/10th real-time.
They are both beautiful and terrorizing at the same time.
Southern Hawker nymph (3-4 months from hatching, length 2cm)
This is my first go at slow motion macro with a Nikon J1 combined with a Raynox DCR250 in an aquarium. The letterbox sequences are 400 fps. The amount of light required for slow motion at this speed is quite surprising. I had two portable halogen video lights trained on the action and even then, it was barely enough to do the job.
My aim here was to show how the nymphs use their extendible lower jaw (labium) to catch prey. At normal speed the strike is just a blur, but at 400 fps you can see how it works a lot more clearly, as the nymph projects the hinged labium out using hydraulic pressure.
Taken late afternoon on 6 August with iPhone 11 Pro Max in Slow Motion (240 fps).
The initial part of this short clip shows what lightning looks like at 24 fps. In this brief instant, 3 of 4 cloud to ground strikes occur. The 4th appears to have not reached the ground. These strikes were about 1.5 miles away based on the thunder that followed.
Note the intense flash as the bolt hits the ground and the return stroke develops.
Slow-motion video of a week old Piping Plover chick running and catching / foraging on insects - New York, USA
As you can see, these little birds don’t stay still for long 🙈 Tracking it and keeping it in focus wasn’t easy😁
First part of this video is displayed at normal speed, where the second part is slowed down as much as 4 times. My favorite part of this clip is the moment when this chick jumps up as it is startled by a small fly😂
I hope you liked it!

Special thanks to Clint Decker and his video showing the basics. I didn't follow it exactly, but it got me going. He's got an awesome flickr stream - check it out here: flickr
At 5:08PM my GoPro 11 and Eufy Security cam captured a lightning strike just 1150 feet away. The original GoPro was taken at 240 fps and I then slowed it even more to reveal 6 separate return strokes in less than 0.4 seconds (too fast for the eye to resolve).
The security cam recorded at just 15 fps but I managed to get the sound of the thunder through double pane windows. It all but missed the lightning.
