I know they are common, but sometimes I find a simple pastel shot of a Red Necked Grebe in still water with beautiful spring colours starting to come in fantastic. I know today didn't feel like spring here in Southern Ontario, this shot makes me already feel that warmer days are breaking through...
As always all shots taken with physical distancing.

All shots of this series done with the Samyang 135/2 wide-open plus reflector. In a way, the last year is still with us. Just as I am still around carrying all those years with me.
The outdoor photos I uploaded today were all shot thru my kitchen window. During these troubled times, it is important to see the beauty in simple things around us. Please stay safe and hang in there. The world will get moving again.
All shots of this series done with the Samyang 135/2 wide-open plus reflector (in this case the window pane through which the shot was done).

Absolutely, folks — this picture’s got all the ingredients you love: layered history, coastal drama, and a touch of poetic romance. Let’s dive in.
🌉 Blennerville Bridge & Reflections in the Water Blennerville Bridge spans the River Lee at its estuary, just west of Tralee in County Kerry. It’s a seven-bay stone bridge that forms a causeway between the canal and river, offering a striking view of the Slieve Mish mountains and the iconic Blennerville Windmill.
- On calm days, the tidal waters mirror the bridge, windmill, and surrounding village in stunning detail — a dream for photographers.
- The reflections often include clouds drifting over the mountains, adding layers of texture and mood to the scene.
- At sunrise or sunset, the water glows with amber and violet hues, turning the bridge into a silhouette against the sky — perfect for capturing symmetry and atmosphere.
Photographic Tips
- Position yourself near the Tralee Canal or the south bank of the River Lee for the best angles.
- Use a polarizing filter to manage glare and deepen the contrast in reflections.
- Try shooting during low tide when the water is stillest, especially in autumn when the light is soft and golden.
💔 The Maid of Tralee — Mary O’Connor She’s the heart of the famous ballad The Rose of Tralee, which inspired the international festival. Mary was a maid in service to the wealthy Mulchinock family in Tralee. William Pembroke Mulchinock, a poet from the household, fell deeply in love with her — but their romance was thwarted by class divisions and political turmoil.
- William wrote the song as a tribute to Mary’s beauty and truthfulness:
“She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer,
Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me...”
- After being falsely accused of murder, William fled to India. When he returned years later, he learned that Mary had died of tuberculosis.
- Heartbroken, he was buried beside her in Clogherbrien graveyard, just outside Tralee.
🌹 Legacy The story of Mary and William became a symbol of enduring love and Irish identity, and the festival now celebrates women of Irish descent from around the world — not for beauty alone, but for character, kindness, and cultural pride.
The Baseball is #one of the #sports that manages to unite many #nations through the #passion in every #episode.
Maybe some time for a few detail shots? All shot at this years Greenwich Concours Show. I find the early, pre "Spirit of Ecstasy" hood mascot on the 1909 Rolls interesting. Obviously, it was before Eleanor entered the picture, and the bedroom, so to speak! ;)

Very quick stop off in Onehunga on the way home tonight as I was passing the Manukau Harbour view. These rays burst through and being a sky nut a few hand held shots with the Grad Filter had to be done. The crepusculars were all over within a few mins sadly.
Please view Large
Have a good weekend all.
Shot: 1/125sec | f11 | ISO200 | 70mm | 3StopGnd (shot at -4/3 ev) | 16:9 format
All shots in this *PHOtage* were taken at our nearby fishing village, known for its famous "Stonington Scallops" . . .

#Velociraptor at @zoomiami The name Velociraptor means ‘swift seizer’. Velociraptor lived in the late Cretaceous Period (around 73 million years ago). The Velociraptor played a large role in the Jurassic Park movies but was often shown inaccurately. Rather than being a larger, human sized dinosaur, the Velociraptor was around the size of a Turkey. It is also believed to have had feathers that were not shown in the movie portrayal.
A fully grown Velociraptor could grow up to 2m (6.6ft) in length, 0.5m (1.6ft) in height at the hip and weigh up to 15kg (33lb). The Velociraptor is thought to have killed its prey with sickle shaped claws on its rear feet.
The first known Velociraptor fossil was found in the Mongolian Gobi Desert in 1922.
One of the most famous dinosaur fossils ever found features a Velociraptor in the middle of battle with a Protoceratops... #wildlife #animal #zoo #zoomiami #nature #photo #photos #pic #pics #TagsForLikes #picture #pictures #snapshot #art #instagood #picoftheday #photooftheday #color #all_shots #exposure #composition #focus #capture #moment
All shots taken with the RF100-500mm at 500mm except the centre shot with background at full eclipse at 200mm.
The 3 moon shots on the left are the moon rising over the horizon taken from Bondi Beach. The rest were taken from my backyard in Sydney
The last in the series of sunset shots in Perth City. Shots all hand held taken from the Rooftop Bar at the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA). The weather and colours were fabulous and the vibe in the bar was trendy and laid back. All shots used the Ethereal filter (Urth) to give a little cinematic twist to the shots. I believe the cranes here are part of the construction of the new Edith Cowan University campus in the city.
Wagtail. Part of my continuing series with birds on boats, every wildlife image I see is usually a bird on a stick or in what is considered to be the natural habitat of the bird, I have decided to do one with a difference, all the birds in this series are all shot on or about boats.
SHOCKINGLY VIVID SKY ON A FINE MORNING
------------------------------------------------------------------
We were stepping out for our usual morning walk, we saw this amazingly violent clouds in the sky, rushed in to fetch our camera and run to the terrace to capture these moments which lasted for very few minutes.
Unusual sky, infact i was shocked to see such a violent skyscape. Fiddled with pocket camera, used auto/Manual and many modes, all shots look similar with slight change in tone.
and there's also a pretty cool ceiling ;)
All shots from the museum are made with my favorite new toy - Sigma 10-20
All shot from the hip. The locals understandably did not allow focused photography in the old city market area.
All shots done with Leica M8, lenses wide-open (1 - Voigtlaender 35/1.4, 2 - Elmar 50/2.8, 3 - Elmar 90/4) and at the same distance of one meter. The comparison shows, among other things, that bokeh is relative (and that a "slow" lens such as the 90/4 can throw the background as well out of focus as the 35/1.4) and, more importantly, that the almost 70 year old Leitz Elmar 90/4 does not focus where it should. At this distance, it focuses perhaps two centimetres behind what the range finding suggests. Good to know.
Opposites.
Hard and soft.
The hard element, is a scalpel with a number 10 blade. Those of you that a familiar with scalpels will have a good understanding of the scale of this image.
The soft element, is a blueberry. I find it interesting that all of the blue color in the blueberry comes from the skin. The things you can learn from macro photography.
Hard and soft.
Incidentally it was rather hard cutting this soft, rather small, blueberry for this arrangement. Hard because it had to be done under magnification to ensure that I remained injury free. Old eyes and all.
Shot in the lab, at home.
Best viewed large.
HMM.
