Originally, the Harris shutter was a device with three colour filters, allowing the photographer to make a single photo of a time series of shots with different primary colours. When the camera is kept steady, areas of the photo without any change end up having the same colour as in reality, whereas areas where motion takes place give a kind of rainbow effect.

Some improvised night shots snapped around the junction at Holy Corner - simply rested the camera on the box that houses the "press to cross" button to steady it, set the timer and waited to see if it would be steady enough for a night shot.

The driver of this fine LNER liveried model, keeps a steady hand on the cab roof, as his train runs round the track of the Tonbridge Model Engineering Society track in Racecourse Park. The second, and only other decent shot of many, that I took last Sunday afternoon. Have only had a couple of proper previous attempts at panning..... blooming hard isn't it! Quite pleased with this result though.

 

Formed in 1944, the first track at the present site was built in 1951 in the form of an oval providing 480ft of 3 1/2in. and 5in. track. Subsequent extensions have resulted in the current one third of a mile long circuit complete with signalling and safety rail and containing some 2,000 sleepers.

 

I sent this, and my previous upload, to the Society and got a reply saying that they had forwarded my photos to the driver. I hope he likes them.

Nearly flipped it!

This was the picture at lunchtime today down at the University Campus in Inverness. the snow had been steadily falling most of the morning.

Proper breakfast for a Saturday off, in spring weather.

 

Enjoyed in bed, but still.

The smallest Robin!

I've never seen it before, he made me happy.

 

Today I changed my camera's "focus tracking setting" and the result is not what I wanted.

The clarity is not what I expected.

  

What happens to Robins in the winter?

In the winter, they become nomadic, searching widely for their favorite cold-weather fare. Weather also influences robin movements. A heavy snowfall that persists for more than a few days may send them on their way, searching for better conditions. Robins also form flocks in the winter.

  

Can Robins survive snow?

Even in freezing temperatures, robins can stay warm enough to make staying through the winter worthwhile. ... If you want to observe robins in winter, try putting out water for them. They can survive on their own by eating snow, but birds always welcome a source of unfrozen water for drinking and bathing.

 

What do Robins eat when there is snow on the ground?

There isn't much one can feed robins in the winter. They're very adept at finding their preferred food and rarely visit feeding stations. During severe weather, robins may eat raisins, berries, or pieces of apples placed on the ground.

 

Do robins sing all day?

We know that robins are one of the first species to begin singing every morning. ... They sing the most early in the morning and at evening twilight after sunset. They sing the least around noon. We thought we could figure out approximately how many songs they sing each hour through the day, and add these up.

What is the sound of a robin singing?

It's a string of 10 or so clear whistles assembled from a few often-repeated syllables, and often described as cheerily, cheer up, cheer up, cheerily, cheer up. The syllables rise and fall in pitch but are delivered at a steady rhythm, with a pause before the bird begins singing again. At dawn, the song is more rapid.

Why do robins sing in winter?

The sound of a robin chirping in winter is a good sign, say scientists. It means the bird has built up enough fat reserves to survive the cold nights and has enough energy left to defend its territory. The bird traditionally sings in spring to attract a mate but in winter, when food is short, it faces a dilemma.

One of the things a few of you know is that I've been testing out a new Sony mirrorless system using a Sony a6000 that I acquired for under $500 a few months back. My good buddy Len Saltiel​ was kind enough to let me borrow a couple of his Sony lenses to check them out and see if I liked them.

 

Well here's a shot I took of the mad cardinal that my wife and I encountered at the campsite earlier this week. I shot this frame with the Sony and a 18-200mm Sony lens at ISO 2500 with a shutter speed of 3200 at f/6.3... in order to compare it with the shots that I was taking with my big Nikon and Tamron combination at the same settings.

 

I'll let you be the judge - but considering the differences in size and cost, the Sony performed admirably. I particularly was impressed with the detail it captured on the talons and on the body of the bird - and I was probably a dozen or more feet away.

 

And I didn't need a monopod to keep it steady in my hands!

Or not... It doesn't matter when you shoot a pinhole camera hand-held.

For just a few moments, artificial daylight and the blue hour hang in balance at dusk. To the left, the great glow of a billion lights in New York City. To the right, the darkness of the Atlantic Ocean.

 

More remarkable than the perfect timing on the light, which doesn’t happen often for me, is the water. This is the barbed tip of Sandy Hook, where the wind and waves are usually steady, sometimes boisterous. But it was dead calm at dead low tide on this winter night.
