For Macro Mondays theme 'Pair'.
I generally prefer to tell a photographic story with Brian, in the context of his surroundings, but for this task (as 'Eyes' were specifically mentioned in the theme description) I wanted to get as close as possible to just Brian's eyes/eye stalks.
I made use of a small plastic ruler to act as a 'platform' for Brian. As snails are naturally curious about their surroundings, I placed him on the platform in the back light of the conservatory window, hoping he would stretch his neck and eye stalks down as this would give me the best shot at getting just his eyes. Attempts using my Raynox DCR-250 macro attachment proved to get too close, and with far too shallow a depth of field, so I had to go in as close as possible with only my macro lens. Brian moved surprisingly quickly, so I was lucky to capture both eye stalks in the frame and in good focus - this took a fair number of attempts!
There was no need to check the measurement of the photo to make sure it was within the the MM size limit - I would estimate the distance between the eyes as approximately 2cm, so this would qualify as a 'true' macro and only a slight crop was done to get symmetry of the eye stalks in the frame.
Those of you that find snails to be disgusting, slimy creatures will not care for this photo! But I have come to appreciate their behaviour, comic character and (yes!) grace and beauty. I am apparently in good company with the novelist Patricia Highsmith who bred hundreds of snails in her garden and famously took a handbag to a party filled with lettuce and snails.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.

Just a typical Tofu, looking at the wildlife in his garden with eyes full of wonder. :)
Posted for the Happy Caturday theme "Faces".

I have done this motif several times now, with different cameras and lenses (this shot done with Fuji X-E2). Each time, I am getting something different. I can't really prioritise one above the other. Perhaps the lesson really is that different vistas and ways of looking do not lead to a "final" image, but a variety of images - and each of them partial.
Also known as a Sand Martin, this is a very rare visitor to our Southern state though more common in North India where they winter after migrating from the Pale Arctic region. They have a wide spread across much of Europe, Asia and even North America.
The birds are pretty small - maybe 12-14 cms and have a slow erratic flight path. They tend to catch the insects in flight making them pretty hard to shoot in flight. Two birds came to a city lake, I was lucky to have spotted them close. I sat on the ground trying to shoot some birds and this one came close by giving this wonderful opportunity. The birds are solo fliers unlike other swallows like the Barn Swallow or Streak Throated Swallow which fly in small groups. The Bank swallow joined others species, but it was flying alone with no other members of its species around.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
First Wide shot with the iPhone 14 pro. Looking like I'll be using this phone for some of my landscape work.
A close-up done with the 7Artisans manual lens at F1.2. The photographic discussion sometimes refers to "dream lenses", often super-fast vintage lenses that produce soft and rich images. I found that this little Chinese lens does similar things when used wide-open, in particular when backlit. If sharp focus is not your primary aim, then this tiny and inexpensive piece of glass would be an option.
I keep my eyes wide open
Bless this ground unbroken
I'm about to make my way
Heaven help me keep my faith
And my eyes wide open
Darling Harbour. Near Ultimo. Sydney.

Just next to the new IMAX theatre and the 'W' hotel.
And this weekend I will be going to the new IMAX at Darling Harbour to see 'Killers Of The Flower Moon' by Martin Scorsese. Here's one of the trailers:
