Scene of a Razorbeak Strider cavalry rider, sent out into the Dunelands to cull the numbers of the fearsome desert basilisks.
Built for the "Beast Masters" category of the 2024 Summer Joust
And shout out to choopyjups for his recent post of his mechanical ostrich cavalry. As I commented there, I was making steampunk versions of an ostrich walker, but decided to make this organic version for the Summer Joust, to help them kick off this year's contest in style.
This shot was taken on Tenby beach, Pembrokeshire, Wales. I've been experimenting with using Luminar for editing my images with mixed results although I'd put that down to my unfamiliarity with the software rather than any faults it may have. For the last few years most of my PC editing has been done using Capture One 12 for Sony and whilst it is in my opinion a bit of a daunting piece of software like so many things in life, you get used to its quirks and flaws. Capture One is going onto a subscription type payment system so I read somewhere and rather than go down that road I thought I'd try the inexpensive Luminar.
Have any of you used Luminar and if so, what's your thoughts?
A lake on the outskirts of the city was teeming with waders during our last winter! I had a fantastic time shooting in that place. Many different waders and the light was fantastic with little fog. There were over 1500 birds but many were on the far side.
These migratory barn swallows were in full active mode and flying continuously and occasionally taking breaks on the rocks. I lay myself on the ground to get some shots of the Stints, but then some of them flew close and I managed to grab some flight shots. These are really tough on the hand to shoot in flight!
One thing I learned is that the birds glide over the lake and suddenly dip their head into the water and then fly away. Through my shots, I learnt that they are actually catching insects - water striders - through that action. Previously I thought it was to take a sip of water, but now I have several shots showing they catch these insects that can walk over water.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback - much appreciated.
Striding Lion, a wall relief made from polychrome glazed, fired bricks, is one of the most iconic objects on display at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. It came from Babylon, Iraq, and dates to the time of Nebuchadnezzar II (605-562 BCE), king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Striding Lion is one of many such reliefs that decorated the walls of the palace's ceremonial hall and very similar to the lions that line the processional way from the Ishtar Gate to the temple of Marduk.
Here's a shot from the archive of my long term Montanan pal Mike. He's not a great one for heights so I guess the cloud that had engulfed the ridge made him feel a little more at ease.
From inside the the Riverfront Streetcar looking down the Line. Just as we pass the crossing street two pedestrians cross the tracks without loosing stride. The Riverfront Line does not actually run on the banks of the Mississippi, just parallel to the mighty river.

Water Striders ( Family Gerridae), on Reay Creek, BC. Tiny hairs on their legs trap air and repel water, allowing them to walk on water.

I caught this guy pushing his utility cart and loved the way the light and columns framed him up. There were tons of other people around, and it became a tense moment - would everyone else clear out before he was too far away? 😩
