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.

55 days into this 365 and I am pleasantly surprised that by staying present to whatever shows up throughout the day is kinda fun.
Happy Friday to all.
Shot notes: the warm tones is reflected sunlight on the water further up the stream (I was shooting from a lower section of the bank)
Note to self: f/9 and that's all the focus I get?! Do I hike 15 minutes back to my car for the tripod? *sigh* Perfectionism please lighten up because I am trying to go with the flow here...
Project 365-055
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.

Yesterday Alles shot a beautiful pic of us on my sim. (It's really *our* sim, because Alles and Kynne share a sky platform where they change outfits and take magical pics.) Anyway, while Alles - and later Kynne - were snapping away I took this closeup of myself with Alles. I had a fun afternoon with these two wonderful friends *and* got to spend the afternoon hugging Alles. <3

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.
All shot from the hip. The locals understandably did not allow focused photography in the old city market area.
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.
All shots of the whale sharks were taken responsibly, i.e. snorkeling, without using flashes and with sufficient distance.
The animals were not fed and swam in plankton-rich waters in a natural seasonal migratory corridor for whale sharks. When they had had enough, they dived into the depths.
All shots in this *PHOtage* were taken at our nearby fishing village, known for its famous "Stonington Scallops" . . .

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
Another from my forks session. Trying to create an abstract series with the simple table fork. These were all shot on a mirrored table with black backcloth and illuminated with a multiple LED light.

The main fork of the Merced River is a great place for swimming, hiking, fishing, rafting, gold-panning, camping and general recreation during the summer months. It’s low elevation also makes it a great place for a day hike in the winter.
There is day use and picnicking along Highway 140 and Briceburg, with overnight camping or fires only at designated campsites.

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.
