All that glitters is not gold even if it looks like it could be, here is a capture of the sunrise just cresting the trees at the backend of our lake making for a great reflection and a golden path. Doesn’t matter how many times you shoot something there will always be enough variation in light and environmentals that you will get surprised with what is on offer and what makes the usual not so much. As much as we are all inspired when new locations and subjects are available to us, finding something new in something old can give you a great satisfaction as well as fill your shot bag.
I took this on Oct 28th, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 15-30 f2.8 G2 Lens at 23mm, 1/25s, f8 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Topaz ,and DXO

I do believe this is an older image that I never processed. I found it the other day while looking for something else.

I'm not usually a fan of shots of bird backends, but I liked the light as this snowy egret left the pond
After successfully catching some larvae out of the waters edge this little fellow proceeded to perch and sing his little heart out . Backend still soaked in water and a dandelion clock stuck to his foot didn't bother him a bit !!
In particularly harsh winters, Wren populations can deplete significantly by up to as much as 25%. Despite this startling statistic, this is often countered by the large broods created throughout the breeding season. I hope this little guy is one of the lucky ones their fantastic little birds and only weigh as much as a 2p coin

Voigtländer Ultron 50mm f2 have quite smooth and balanced bokeh. Very little difference between front and backend blur. It also renders rich grey scale B&W photos.
Sounds like a short extract of Coronation Street, but it’s really just the backend of the last storm to batter us last night. Coronation Street, now there’s a blast from the past, although I’m told it’s still on the telly. I haven’t watch it since Martha Longhurst died in the snug of the Rover Return, having had her lot of the banale chatter from Mini Caldwell and Ena Sharples. As a young lad of 8 that was enough drama for me and anyway 7:30 was well passed my bed time. Corrie was definitely a waste of those precious pinched minutes you sneeked passed your bedtime as your parents were glued to the set, totally forgetting about their little ninja sitting in the corner.
spotted at Harris Nursery.
- the backend was missing
but this frontend was pretty cute :)

The rather wide backend of the (road legal) 911 RSR of Jeremy Cooke at the Silverstone Classic. Shelby Mustang can be seen behind it as well.
________________________________
The word autumn comes from the ancient Etruscan root autu- and has within it connotations of the passing of the year.It was borrowed by the neighbouring Romans, and became the Latin word autumnus. After the Roman era, the word continued to be used as the Old French word autompne (automne in modern French) or autumpne in Middle English, and was later normalized to the original Latin. In the Medieval period, there are rare examples of its use as early as the 12th century, but by the 16th century, it was in common use.

Before the 16th century, harvest was the term usually used to refer to the season, as it is common in other West Germanic languages to this day (cf. Dutch herfst, German Herbst and Scots hairst). However, as more people gradually moved from working the land to living in towns, the word harvest lost its reference to the time of year and came to refer only to the actual activity of reaping, and autumn, as well as fall, began to replace it as a reference to the season.
The alternative word fall for the season traces its origins to old Germanic languages. The exact derivation is unclear, with the Old English fiæll or feallan and the Old Norse fall all being possible candidates. However, these words all have the meaning "to fall from a height" and are clearly derived either from a common root or from each other. The term came to denote the season in 16th century England, a contraction of Middle English expressions like "fall of the leaf" and "fall of the year".
During the 17th century, English emigration to the British colonies in North America was at its peak, and the new settlers took the English language with them. While the term fall gradually became obsolete in Britain, it became the more common term in North America.[citation needed]
The name backend, a once common name for the season in Northern England, has today been largely replaced by the name autumn

Ideally we’d have an algorithm which automatically tuned all JPEG parameters to make a file smaller, but which would limit perceptible changes to the image. Technology exists that attempts to do this and can decrease image file size
by 30-50%.

After eighteen months of perceptual compression at Flickr, we adjusted our settings slightly to shrink images an additional 15%.

Radio Telescope Submillimeter Array (SMA) on Mauna Kea, Big Island.
SMA Project Website: "The Submillimeter Array (SMA) is an 8-element radio interferometer located near the summit of Maunakea in Hawaii. Operating at frequencies from 180 GHz to 420 GHz, the 6 m diameter dishes may be arranged into configurations with baselines as long as 509 m, producing a synthesized beam of sub-arcsecond width. Each element can observe with two receivers simultaneously, with up to 8 GHz bandwidth each per sideband. The digital correlator backend provides a uniform resolution as high as 140 kHz.
The Submillimeter Array is a joint project between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics and is funded by the Smithsonian Institution and the Academia Sinica."
Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of the nice people here on flickr for sharing the love for photography and for being an awesome and welcoming community. I wish you a Happy New Year and hope you‘ll have lots of great opportunities for photography and many more of your wonderful images to share here in 2024!
It has been a nice year for me in terms of photography even though I feel guilty for continuing too much in my usual sort of shots and not experimenting enough with other genres (particularly outside) as I had hoped for.
I‘ve managed to write another article (deltalenses.com/the-makers-noritsu/) and am almost finished with the next one which will be the most ambitious yet…
I feel like I‘ve learned a lot, even though it still seems like I‘m not too far on my journey into photography overall.
Thanks for your awesome feedback, your nice comments and likes - I really appreciate it! I‘ve heard from a couple of people that many of my images are missing in their feed for some reason, so I appreciate it that a significant amount of you also view my photostream from time to time. I‘ve even heard that some have tried to add a testimonial and that it didn‘t work because of some technical problems of the flickr backend. I‘m sorry to hear that but still appreciate it very much - thank you!
All the best Wishes!

Shot with a Tomioka "Cosinon Auto 55 mm F 1.2" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Fences are probably the most awarding subject for shawcasing a bokeh photography with vintage lenses.
One get a load of frontend and backend blur at its fullest. It is crowded just enough. Still there is some unimportant subject sharp and finely isolated.

Roker at low tide just beyond the cat and dogs steps set the scene as I try make something of the sky this morning as the backend of storm Bronagh passes over.

Winter in the PNW is backend loaded to February with record-setting cold due to the northerly winds, frozen snow on the ground, & clear skies. The sparkle of the morning hoarfrost is gorgeous when it’s ~ -18°c/0°f!!

Incongruous scene in the backend of the fishing port of Santa Pola…if only this was in smell-o-vision to convey the rancid odour of recently caught fish, you dear viewer, would lose your breakfast like I nearly.
EN28 transferred across from Bexleyheath to Merton towards the backend of February. It’s pictured here outside Raynes Park Station on its only appearance on the 163 at the time of posting (Purley by coincidence!)
I find this good example of Type I Ultron bokeh.
Usually, nature of bokeh changes for backend and frontend bokeh depending on how well lens is corrected. Ultron is very well corrected lens and differences in frontend and backend blur are almost nonexistent. Backend balls have just a hint of sharp border and frontend one slightly softer edges.
While Northern Waterthrushes aren’t easy to spot, they do have a few “giveaways” that alert us to their presence. They have a boisterous song that can to cut through the deepest woods, plus a loud, metallic chip call that they seem to use incessantly. But my favorite way to identify waterthrushes is how they walk. They can hardly take a single step without moving their entire backend up and down.
If you like this and some of my other images, I invite you to take a look at my wildlife/birding blog, which I try to update every few days. ... grenfell.weebly.com and my web page at www.tekfx.ca

A quick hike through the backend of Maruyama park and you escape from the city. It's always rejuvenating to be surrounded by the sights and sounds of the forest.
With the backend of a thunderstorm just clearing off, I was fortunate to catch a bit of sun in August of 1991. Chessie System 8396 crosses the Cass River in Bridgeport, MI.

Is it just me ,or does the backend look like a fish with it’s mouth open.
Toen het bouwverbod op de polder tegenover het Rietveld Schröderhuis werd opgeheven, kocht Truus Schröder de grond ertegenover. Zo kon zij haar nieuwe uitzicht zelf bepalen.
Rietveld ontwierp daarvoor een rij met vier huizen (1931) en een blok met zes appartementen (1934) in de stijl van Het Nieuwe Bouwen. Het ontwerp voorzag in ruime lichtinval en optimaal contact
met de buitenlucht. Daarom hebben de huizen brede doorlopende raam-stroken, balkons op de verdiepingen en heeft elke kamer een deur naar buiten.
Opvallend is het kleurgebruik. De bakstenen gevels zijn wit gepleisterd. Binnen gebruikte Rietveld pastelkleuren. Daarvoor bleef hij ook in de latere interieurs die hij ontwierp voorkeur houden.

I honestly can't remember for sure, but I think this is it's backend but I might be wrong as this extremely hairy caterpillar making it's way across the path. No idea of what it is though, so if someone can ID it, it would be appreciated ..

This is an image that I took during the photography workshop at the RSPB, Lochwinnoch, recently, of a ladybird wandering about on a purple-coloured set up. I was just snapping away as it wandered, shuffling its wing cases about (they are even very pretty under their wing cases), and I just liked how this turned out. I processed it yesterday, but was then desperate to call it `Purple rain', but I couldn't do that without rain... so today, I learned some Elements wizardry, and added my own rain.
It's interesting seeing the fisherman come in early morn and with all the clothing - long gum boots, hat ++ and just wade into the water.
I have been to this spot a few times and this was the only time I got this........one from archives - long forgotten. Shot with my 18-200VR lens...not great at the long range...a bit soft which I do not like !!!! but loved the fisherman, and the mist rising up in the backend
single exposure. tuned thru lightroom and CS

*NEW* from BadWold for Mournful Monday, is this really unique headpiece, that is sort of like a crown, but is only in the back.
It created some unique blogging time, because we don't often try to take pretty shots of the back of our heads, now do we?
