The last public execution at Lancaster Castle took place in 1865. The gallows were accessed through French windows in the round tower. From 1865 to 1910 executions were carried out in private behind the wall in the middle of the frame.
I'm starting another Bird Art series, this one featuring a solitary dove sitting on a rock in the winter.
This is the artistic version of the image. Tomorrow I will post the more realistic and natural image.
The evening light was fast fading so this was a very slow handheld capture at 1/15th of a second. I had to take several attempts before one was finally acceptably sharp.
I matched the frame color to compliment the bird...
Continuing the Elegant Trogon Saga: After the male called from within the hole, he left to sit near it on a branch. he defended it from a hairy woodpecker, calling all the while, and I missed his takeoff. I was aiming at the male once he set down again hoping to capture a flight shot when all of the sudden he jumped and I swung trying to follow. Clearly, I missed him - his beak is on the top right corner in the first image and his tail in the next - but the female just swans by to inspect the new property and popped right into the frame! My luckiest shots ever!!!

This capture is a stolen shot in the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, when I was visiting Japan beginning April 2014 for Cherry Blossom season.
The Japanese lady waiting for the ned train is wearing a traditional suit "Kimono" and a mask. I took this opportunity to get her as my static foreground when the train enter in the station. I shot with a slow shutter speed allowing to get the train in movement but not too slow to get the lady sharp. By chance, the door of the train is captured in the frame of the picture. At last, I got the perfect contrast between tradition / static / monochrome / verticality on one side and modernity / movement / colors / horizontality on the other side. It comes to be a picturesque scenery representing in some ways Japan by itself.

Here are another picture of the very nice cascades near Soubey (Jura, Switzerland). With all the snow melting above, in the Franches-Montagnes, it was a real flood.
As you can see on this shot, the framing is rather unperfect : the left side is kind of messy and blurry, there's this perspective in the upper right corner that could have been intensified. Moreover, it's not totally at horizon level : all I had to do was to go a little lower with the tripod rotate the camera. That was my first plan.
The problem was : I wore shitty shoes and I stood upon a slippery rock covered with moss. What had to happen happened : I slipped, the tripod slipped and my 100D fall directly in the water in a very nice "sloosh".
Fortunately, it remained in the water less than 5 seconds and the screen was still showing this picture when I removed the battery. It is now in a kilogramme of long grain USA parboiled rice, and will stay there until tomorrow evening. I hope it will manage to dry it completely. I have some hope to save it ...
However, saving the lens would probably be a miracle, but I try anyway with the same trick ... Now I just have to wait, pray and see ...
So I am happy to show you this very last shot of my (maybe) dead buddy. I hope I did not became a photographer without a camera ...

This picture was explored on the 2nd of March 2016 ! Thank you really much for your kind messages !
And now : the end of the story : I tried the camera this morning. The body seem to work perfectly fine. The lens AF and stabilizer work as well, but there's some dirt on the lenses inside, so I'll probably have to make it clean. Then, it's always possible to have some rust on electronic components. I'll see in the future.
So the rice trick works, but I definitely think that what saved my camera is the fact that I removed the battery very quickly. What you don't want is some short-circuits on electronic components that heat and burn after a few seconds (they are small, so it can happen really fast). Without electrical power, much less risk to get damages.
Thank you anyway for your support !

Street portrait from Glasgow, Scotland. I couldn't get all of her hat in the frame without an uncomfortable composition, it was so tall with the extensions! Wishing all of my Flickr friends and followers a wonderful weekend of photography - enjoy!
Group travel is always fraught, not least because there is always one individual in every group who is so self-aware, they never stop to consider anybody around them. This man was a serial photobomber on this particular tour.
We were in Gibraltar and had stopped for the obligatory Barbary Ape photoshoot. The Ape posed perfectly for me, and then our photobomber stepped into the frame. The Ape knew the routine, she put out a hand to stop the him, but to no avail.
For "Macro Monday's" and "Stationery" I decided to use these Push Pins which I have in a container along with paper clips and bulldog clips.
I decided to set them up in a triangle with different colours lined up the further back into the frame.
This is backlit by our kitchen window with diffusion material to soften any harsh shadows.
I focussed on the nearest Red one and tried various apertures for differing depth of field effects and preferred f/16 as at f/5.6 and f/11 the white ones at the back were completely blurred out.
This lovely fella walked into the frame and posed at Corfe Castle last week, so I took full advantage 🐴📷
You'll never say hello to you

A lone hiker walks on a nature preserve trail ahead of us. The trail was once a farm road, but now serves hikers and mountain bikers instead. The light from the setting sun lights up clouds in the east. A small jet contrail is visible in the upper left of the frame.
My wife's jewelry beads used for this week's theme that required each submitted posting to "fill the frame" with the subject.
Thanks for taking a look.
Happy Monday & wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead.

An artistic rendering of a macro view of a Pop It Topper bubble fidget toy. The frame represents a span of two-inches across.
Those who are not familiar with Pop It Toppers can click the below link to a Wikipedia article about them (with pictures). The version I photographed (in its entirety) is a very small topper with only four bubbles on it.
Strobist info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights and a steady LED light. The SB900s were placed CL/CR and fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄32 power through 24" gridded soft boxes and triggered by PocketWizard Plus Xs. The LED was placed @ 11-o'clock.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D(AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro) with 12mm + 20mm extension tubes attached.
This will be my new beanie if and when I finish the project... photo taken for #MacroMondays theme photo #FillTheFrame HMM everyone!!!
Copied from the We Go Places Website:The Henniker bridge was built by Milton Graton and his son Arnold in 1972 using traditional methods. For example, the framed trusses were pulled across the river by a team of oxen. The bridge serves New England College and the community of Henniker as a footbridge across the Contoocook River. The Henniker Bridge was constructed to replicate the traditional style of covered bridges, however, it has not yet reached the 50 year age criteria for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Picture the scene, beautifully calm waters, golden light, then someone walks into the frame in a bright red waterproof! But hold on, I actually find it adds to the picture, provides some scale and context. Besides its a well known spot on Buttermere in the Lakes, you can't expect it to yourself. I didn't get his name but he proved to be from Finland, living in Yorkshire.

Fate conspired to deliver the cauliflower on the day it was assigned because my other half saw a picture of roasted cauliflower and drooled. Just as well as ALL of the outside plants were well on the way to dead. The picture is a bit boring but the roasted cauliflower was delicious. Must do it again soon.

Snapped near Dauphin Pennsylvania in May 1968, the Karmann Ghia happened into the frame at just the wrong (right) time.

This was a tricky shot because of not knowing which orientation would work best. I tried horizontal mode to capture the dog trying to run after the kite boarder in the water. But then the sail got cut out of the frame. It was constantly moving high or low with the brisk winds. Then with portrait mode I barely got everything in before the boarder took off with the wind and left the dog behind with a person on shore. I have taken off, too, on a mini holiday to visit family. I shall be in and out on Flickr.
This is a photograph of a location that I gravitate towards in Peterborough. Since I started taking more pictures, this door — along with the pillars and walls that frame it— really attracted me. I have photographed it at night and during the day, in color and in black and white and I just love the dilapidated door and the colors and textures that surround it.
This time I saw someone entering the frame and decided to include them in the composition. It worked well because the colors of the shirt matched the sliver of cloudy sky painted on the adjacent wall. As corny as it sounds it was as if the person was walking into the clouds.
I spent a good part of the day checking out the migrants at the Quintana Neotropical Bird Sanctuary and wow there were lots of them around. However, when the light was getting low at the back drip, I decided to run over to Brazoria NWR to take advantage of the beautiful light. With the water as high as it is there weren’t a whole lot of great opportunities but this young Yellow-crowned Night Heron was just begging to be photographed. I decided to see how much of the frame I could fill with the bird’s head. This shot is uncropped and even at f/11 the DOF is REALLY thin. Makes me appreciate all those macro photographers a little more.

This capture was made handheld at 1/5 second at 42mm ... the in camera stabilization on the new Sony is extremely impressive.
The motion of the slow moving sailing ship at this shutter speed was also pretty cool. Same for that duck in the frame too ;)
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Fill the Frame".

In the year 2112, Starship Cygnus X-1, Rush category, the flagship of the X-Cans fleet, silently orbits planet Samba on an Amazing Journey through the Musical Fidelity Universe. It is on a five-year mission to explore new musical worlds, to seek out new sounds no woman or man has ever heard before...
The subject was a rather "simple" one, because the only easily accessible "Inside Electronics" parts I had were these old tubes that used to be inside of my headphone amplifier. They are made of glass (of course) so you can see what's inside of them; making it a "double peek", if you like - an inside view of something that used to be inside of an electronic device ;-). I always wanted to use these tubes for a photo. The idea was to make it appear like a spaceship. Ever since the new tubes were installed, the amplifier sounds crappy (so I don't use it anymore; but it's 20 years old, so it's probably time for a new one...). I wasn't aware that the type of tubes can make such a difference in sound...
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Das Universum der Musik... Unendliche Weiten. Wir schreiben das Jahr 2112. Dies ist das Raumschiff Cygnus X-1, Rush-Klasse, Flagschiff der X-Cans-Flotte. Lautlos umrundet es den Planeten Samba auf einer fünfjährigen "Amazing Journey" durch das "Musical Fidelity" Universum. Viele Klangjahre von der Erde entfernt erforscht es neue musikalische Welten, die nie ein Mensch zuvor gehört hat...
Um nicht etwas aufschrauben und dabei womöglich beschädigen zu müssen (oder den elektrischen Schlag schlechthin zu bekommen), habe ich hier alte Röhren aus meinem Kopfhörer-Verstärker genommen, die ich schon immer mal für ein Foto verwenden wollte. Ein "doppelter Einblick" ins Innere der Elektronik, da die Röhren durch ihren Glasmantel sowohl Einblick in ihr eigenes Inneres erlauben als auch zuvor im Innern eines elektrischen Geräts verbaut waren. Dummerweise klingt der Verstärker nach dem Wechsel der Röhren gar nicht mehr gut (ich hätte nie gedacht, dass die Art der Röhre solch einen Einfluss auf den Klang hat), aber er ist auch schon 20 Jahre alt; vielleicht Zeit für etwas Neues...
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Juli-Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Am 24. September 1999 besuchte ich die hübsche Stadt Killarney und das Killarney national park im Südwesten Irlands. Abends stand ich am Lough Leane und konnte einen Schwan kurz nach Sonnenuntergang fotografieren.
Op 24 september 1999 bezocht ik het Killarney National Park en de stad Killarney in het zuidwesten van Ierland. Een paar minuten na zonsondergang kon ik te Lough Leane een zwaan fotograferen.
A weekend trip to Killarney and the Ring of Kerry in September 1999 also took me to the Killarney national park and Lough Leane. On September 24th 1999 I managed to get a shot of Lough Leane just minutes after sunset. A swan was interested as well and joined the frame...
