The soldering iron again; no solder was used this time around to generate smoke.
I originally worked on a different idea using matches and some rancid olive oil from a long-neglected bottle, but I couldn't get a long-lasting smoke trail, much less one I could get to respond to the fume exhaust over my workbench. Out of frustration, I decided to use the iron, using the oil for smoke generation.
Yes, I replaced the tip after the photoshoot. I'm not convinced olive oil, whether fresh or eight years past its best-by date, is an acceptable soldering flux.

These birds (almost) always seem to look in excellent condition, probably the normal viewing conditions of a bright winters day and a healthy diet of high carotene berries helps.
I have included a shot taken a few years ago in comments below of the wax primary feather tips that give the bird its name.
Taken in Kelling, North Norfolk. Approx. 24m away.
Lots of Orange Tip butterflies on the wing along the River Orwell and Chantry Cut in Ipswich today! Most were pretty flighty but I managed some shots of this pair who were otherwise occupied!
Orange-tip butterflies (Anthocharis cardamines) are a common sight during spring and can be found in lots of places including meadows, woodland and hedges. Adults lay their eggs on garlic mustard, cuckooflower and hedge mustard plants.
The male orange-tip is unmistakeable. It is a white butterfly with half of its forewing being a bold orange colour, and with light grey wingtips. The female is also white, but has grey-black wingtips, similar to the white butterflies. Both sexes show a mottled, 'mossy grey' pattern on the underside of their hindwings when at rest.
Orange-tips are found across the UK, but are scarcer in the north of Scotland.
Orange-tip caterpillars are cannibalistic, eating their own eggshell when they emerge and moving on to eat other orange-tip eggs nearby. The caterpillars pupate in July and overwinter as a pupa, emerging as butterflies the following spring.
When the sun decided to shine,albeit a short time,it didn't take long for these little beauties to appear. A gorgeous male Orange Tip.
Another capture of male yellow tip. This one shows better the yellow (orange) tips of the wings. Females don't have the yellow color on their wing tips.

James River & Manchester Bridge
From Potterfield Pedestrian Bridge
Richmond, Virginia
T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge opened last month, providing a good vantage point for the river and the Richmond skyline; it is a 1,600-foot pedestrian bridge across the James River from the western tip of Brown's Island just below Tredegar Iron Works (now American Civil War Museum-Historic Tredegar) to the Manchester area on the south side of the river. Seen here are Manchester Bridge (9th Street/US 60), just east of the pedestrian bridge; CSX railroad trestle along the north side of the James, on the left; and buildings on the southern fringe of downtown.
Thursday afternoon my grandson Conner and I met Clyde (Whisle) at the north end of the bridge to get sunset, moonrise, and night skyline photos. We were not alone. Parking was tight, and foot traffic on the bridge made getting clear images a challenge, due to vibrations, especially for time exposures, such as this 30-second shot. Another source of trouble was a rather stiff breeze that at times moved the camera enough that movement could be seen. Still, it was a great evening, helped by temperatures still in the 60s at sunset -- a big change from less than a week ago, when we had snow and three consecutive daytime highs below freezing.

Cinnamon Teals are such beautiful ducks, and I've taken many shots of them, usually from such a great distance that I haven't posted any of them.
Some ducks were sleeping nearby the pond where I was shooting today, and I was pleasantly surprised to see one was a Cinnamon Teal. I wanted to get some nice shots of him swimming so I decreased my shutter speed to 1/1250 to bring out more detail in the darker colors.
But then he decided to fly. They are so fast that I didn't have time to increase my shutter speed. I just got lucky that this was in focus. He's one pretty duck!

I recently recorded a video with B&H with some helpful tips for shooting with a long telephoto lens. Check it out in the link below:
actionphototours.com/5-tips-for-shooting-telephoto-lenses/
I cover topics such as selecting the right lens, handholding techniques, how to shoot from a tripod in both calm and windy conditions, and much more!
