The Sparrowhawk uses its long tail to manoeuvre with speed and great agility through the forest and branches. The Ravens issued a warning call when it caught a glimpse of it and all the little birds cowered in the trees. It moves so fast it takes its prey by surprise and the poor Photographer too as it flies like a ghost through the forest, its burning yellow eyes fixated on their prey. A very skilled hunter.

Golden hour photography uses the soft, warm, diffused light just after sunrise or before sunset, creating a magical, flattering glow with long shadows and rich red/gold tones due to the low sun angle filtering light through more atmosphere.
It's ideal for portraits and landscapes, adding depth and a dreamy quality.
Not quite the same in black and white.
Shooting in black and white during the golden hour
shifts focus from warm colours to light, shadow, texture, and mood, creating dramatic, high-contrast images with long shadows and ethereal light, emphasising form and emotion over hue, and often revealing timeless, classic compositions.

En la vertiente norte del Parque Natural de la Sierra y Cañones de Guara se encuentran los valles de Belsué y Nocito, cuajados de pueblos pequeños, algunos deshabitados, en los que el tiempo parece haberse detenido.
Sus edificaciones y el estilo de vida mantienen la más pura tradición de los pueblos del interior de la comarca. Por cabañeras, antaño el único medio de comunicación con el Pirineo y el llano, se puede acceder a diversas pardinas, hoy casi en desuso. Desde el Santuario de San Úrbez, lugar de romería en busca de la ansiada lluvia, un sendero de montaña desciende hasta el núcleo urbano de Nocito y evoca los pasos de los niños que años atrás recorrían ese mismo camino para acudir a la escuela. Nocito es un buen ejemplo de conservación de la arquitectura popular. Los dinteles decorados, blasones familiares, chimeneas y espantabrujas nos trasladan a un pasado de vida aislada, dura y austera.
Used to do a lot of HDR. now very rarely. Think it is the difference between this d300 and my d800.

Caïre (ou cayre) signifie en langage local un sommet rocheux. Les Caïres dominent la vallée du sanctuaire de la Madone de Fenestre. Le sanctuaire est établit depuis le moyen-âge (année 887), refuge d'étape pour ceux qui désiraient passer du comté de Nice (dépendant de la Savoie) au Piémont italien par le col de Fenestre (2474 m), sur le chemin duquel la photo a été prise.
Au cours de la seconde guerre mondiale, le col a servi de route d'exil pour les juifs niçois réfugiés à Saint Martin-Vésubie fuyant la persécution nazie (650 personnes à partir du 9 sept. 1943). Malheureusement, nombres d'entre eux (350) furent internés dans un camp de concentration Italien (Borgo San Dalmazzo) puis déportés à Auschwitz.
J.M.G. Le Clézio, prix Nobel de littérature, a écrit un roman au sujet des juifs de Saint-Martin-Vésubie : Etoile Errante, 1992, Gallimard, Paris.
Caïre (or cayre) means in local language a rocky summit. The Caïres dominate the valley where the sanctuary of the Madone de Fenestre is located. This sanctuary has been established since the Middle Ages (year 887) and was the refuge for those who wanted to pass from the county of Nice (depending on the Savoie county) to the Italian Piemont by the pass of Fenestre (2474 m), on which path the photo was taken.
During World War II, the pass served as an exile route for Jewish people from the city of Nice fleeing the Nazi persecution (650 personnes from the 9 of sept. 1943). Unfortunately, many of them were interned in an Italian concentration camp (Borgo San Dalmazzo) and next deported to the Auschwitz camp (Poland) from which they never came back (350 people).
J.M.G. Le Clézio, Nobel Price of literature, wrote a novel about this sad story of Jewish people of Saint-Martin-Vésubie : "Wandering Star", Willimantic: Curbstone Press, 2004.
First used normal oil painting effect at 70%. Had planned to crop, but really enjoyed the surrounding foliage so decided against it. Finished by enclosing in the film strip 6 frame, which also darkened some of the photo corners. Located in my neighbor K’s rose garden.

Using the Sony 1.4 TC. Forced at f/9 in lousy light but I had my shutter up hoping it would fly. In any case, I really don't notice any reduction in sharpness or focus speed in using it. That is a good thing using the full-frame A9...
The first thing that I always do when I remove a lens cap is to clean the lens with a microfiber cloth before taking any photos. But those little cloths have a way of eventually getting lost. So I am hoping that this new little pouch that I just acquired will end that problem.
The pouch has a hook on it to attach to my camera bag, and it contains a microfiber cloth attached on the inside that can be pulled out, and then stuffed back in when I'm finished using it.

I used to want to grow up
I thought that I could be free
But now I'm realizing
It's cool, it ain't for me
It's cool, cause all my dreams
Are more than possibilities
I get so vicious
When I don't feel delicious
I just need a friend
So much to carry
These days are kinda scary I don't want the fun to end
Using a half-second exposure of Sol Duc Falls I captured this rainbow as the sunlight first hit the forest above the falls.
Using the stain glass window as a table top to use with light projected from below. A kerosene lamp is center stage with the wick lit for light from above.
A vintage display in the middle of the country west of Milledgeville,IL. This is on the property of an Illinois centennial farm. Have a great truck Thursday all and pray for rain-no rain in my area for almost 3 weeks! Couldn't get my planting done till early June because it was too wet and it hasn't rained since.I guess you can't mess with Mother Nature! LOL
This farmer ran a local filling station for many years as well,thus the Mobil memorabilia...
Nothing of all you have longed for or have sought to hold fast can relieve you of your thirst, your loneliness, until you learn to take in your hands and raise to your lips this cup of solitude his chalice of the void and drain it to the dregs.
-Paul Murray, Scars, p. 101.
The sight with which the soul is endowed by nature is Charity. This sight has two eyes: Love and reason. Reason can see God only in what He is not; Love rests not except in what He is. Reason has safe paths along which to proceed; Love feels Her failure, but this failure makes Her advance more than reason does. Reason proceeds towards what God is by what He is not; Love sets aside the things that God is not and rejoices in Her failure, as regards what God is. Reason is more easily satisfied, but Love has more sweetness and bliss. However, these two are of great mutual help to each other, for reason instructs Love and Love enlightens reason. When reason is carried away by Love’s desire, and when Love accepts to be guided by reason, within reason’s limits, together they can accomplish a wonderful work. But you cannot be taught this except by experience.

Happy Saturday for Stairs!
There are certainly countless motifs that can be used to symbolize the new beginning of a year. A sunrise outside in nature (in this case on the Hoher Schneeberg in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains) is my favorite.
In both cases we are on a path that leads us into a new phase of life. A path that is only known to us to a certain extent and where a big surprise (or challenge) can be waiting for us around the next bend.
Now you could object that a day is just a day and in comparison a year must be much more significant. I would like to show you why I don't quite see it that way.
On the one hand, this assessment is based on our standards, which are based on a human life. If we look at it from the perspective of the lifespan of the universe, a year is just as insignificant as a day (basically the effects of neither are noticeable).
On the other hand, a single day, a single decision is enough to fundamentally change our own world in every conceivable direction.
So what if we didn't wait for a specific date every year to realize where we want to go, but could use every single day of the year to do so?
Our creative possibilities would increase many times over and we would have so much more room for directional corrections. We could learn, try things out and gain experience without having to ask the fundamental question every time.
With this in mind, I wish you all a good start and an exciting and fulfilling journey.
Because today is the first day of the rest of all of our lives.
Es gibt ganz sicher unzählige Motive, mit denen man den Neubeginn eines Jahres symbolisieren kann. Ein Sonnenaufgang draußen in der Natur (in diesem Fall auf dem Hohen Schneeberg im Elbsandsteingebirge) ist mein Favorit.
In beiden Fällen befinden wir uns auf einem Weg, der uns in einen neuen Lebensabschnitt führt. Ein Weg, der uns nur bis zu einem gewissen Grad bekannt ist und auf dem hinter der nächste Kurve eine große Überraschung (oder auch Herausforderung) auf uns warten kann.
Jetzt könntet Ihr einwenden, dass ein Tag ja nur ein Tag ist und im Vergleich dazu ein Jahr doch viel bedeutender sein muss. Ich möchte Euch aufzeigen, warum ich das nicht ganz so sehe.
Zum einen fusst diese Einschätzung auf unsere auf ein Menschenleben ausgerichteten Masstäbe. Betrachten wir das ganze aus Sicht der Lebensspanne des Universums ist ein Jahr genau so unbedeutetend wie ein Tag (im Grunde sind die Auswirkungen beider nicht spürbar).
Andererseits genügt ein einziger Tag, eine einzige Entscheidung um unsere eigene Welt grundlegend zu verändern und das in jede nur denkbare Richtung.
Wie wäre es also, wenn wir nicht jedes Jahr auf ein spezielles Datum warten würden um uns bewusst zu machen, wohin wir gehen wollen, sondern dafür jeden einzelnen Tag des Jahres nutzen könnten?
Unsere gestalterischen Möglichkeiten würden um ein vielfaches steigen und wir hätten so viel mehr Raum für Richtungskorrekturen. Wir könnten lernen, probieren und Erfahrungen sammeln ohne jedes Mal die Grundsatzfrage stellen zu müssen.
In diesem Sinne wünsche ich Euch allen einen guten Start und eine spannende sowie erfüllende Reise.
Denn heute ist der erste Tag vom Rest unser aller Leben.
