Photograph taken at an altitude of Three metres at 12.22pm on Monday 29th May 2014 off 2903 Ocean Boulevard, Victoria, on the Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary, on the Juan De Fuca Strait, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.
The Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is a wading bird in the Heron family Ardeidae and found in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. One of the largest of Herons, it has a head to tail length of 01-137 centimetres (36-54 inches) and a wingspan of 187-201 centimetres (66-79 inches). They are found where my family live, and naturally very wary of mankind, flying off as soon as you are within fifty to one hundred yards of them.

This is my lil sis Samm i just bought this camera brand new Yesterday so i was anxious to try it out! and grabbed her and took out side our house to take a quick shot lol i guess some of the neighbors were spooked to see these lights goin off so we got the cops called on us hahaha but i just told em im tryin out my new camera and that i live right here and he said oh its really no big deal just gotta drive by to make sure it aint anything sketchy lol so then we wrapped it up. the bad side was when i got home my computer wasnt reading the new t2i codec so non of my photos could be processed on photoshop. after an our of a panic attack i settled down and looked for any leads to figure this out. which in the end lead to me completely upgrading my entire cs4 creative suit to recognize the new codecs that come with the new DSLRs so problem averted and now im stoked to get used to this camera and its HD video feature!

Photograph taken at an altitude of Five metres at 07:52am on Wednesday 17th May 2023 off Lone Cone Road from the front garden of a seventy year old house I was renting in Campbell Street, Tofino in British Columbia in Canada.
Eastern Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are native to the southern BC mainland, one of many different sub species of Raccoon, but are an introduced invasive species on Haida Gwaii.
They were introduced in the 1940s to enhance the local fur trade, but they represent a significant threat to ground-nesting marine birds. My family refer to them as 'Trash Panda's', but I love them. They are also known as Racoons, Coons or Common Racoons

Photograph taken at an altitude of Two hundred and forty one metres at 15.11pm on Tuesday May 7th 2024 off South Street in Rhayader, Mid-Wales from the Low level professional photography hide at Gigrin Farm feeding station.
This is a rare Leucistic Red Kite (Milvus Milvus), one of only ten currently known in the world. Leucism is caused by a partial loss of pigmentation, resulting in white feathers on a bird.The Red Kite (Milvus Milvus) is a medium sized bird of prey (Raptor) in the Accipitridae family, and was saved from national extinction by a long running protection programme.
It has now been successfully re-introduced into England and Scotland, and Wales, and they are listed under schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside act, currently with a green status. They can reach 66cms in length with up to a 195cms wingspan, and there around 4,600 breeding pairs in the UK in 2024.

Just today, 11-08-20, copied VOB MiniDV files from DVD to the Passport HD via edits on MovAVI conversion to MP4 files.
The HP Windows Media Player and other player gave up playing VOB files then the three players gave up playing both codecs, so rebooted and new WIN updates and OK...
MovAVI was good at joining stray smaller clips onto the neighbouring larger files and saving as MP4...
The DELL stil plays the VOBand MP4 files with a click or Open with....
Have copied 19 video files to the WD MyCloud to play on the TV or maybe post to YouTube
Then to add links to the still images here.

This is my lil sis Samm i just bought this camera brand new Yesterday so i was anxious to try it out! and grabbed her and took out side our house to take a quick shot lol i guess some of the neighbors were spooked to see these lights goin off so we got the cops called on us hahaha but i just told em im tryin out my new camera and that i live right here and he said oh its really no big deal just gotta drive by to make sure it aint anything sketchy lol so then we wrapped it up. the bad side was when i got home my computer wasnt reading the new t2i codec so non of my photos could be processed on photoshop. after an our of a panic attack i settled down and looked for any leads to figure this out. which in the end lead to me completely upgrading my entire cs4 creative suit to recognize the new codecs that come with the new DSLRs so problem averted and now im stoked to get used to this camera and its HD video feature!
Also in Alvor..
Day OFF, I'll try to catch up on your shots later on, I've been busy today re-installing Windows and every little tiny and not so tiny software, hardware, drivers, codecs, scripts, uff...
All done.
Finally, I've got a clean face on my laptop :-)

Photograph taken at an altitude of three metres at 12.12pm on Monday 29th May 2014 off 2903 Ocean Boulevard, Victoria, on the Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary, on the Juan De Fuca Strait, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.
The Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is a wading bird in the Heron family Ardeidae and found in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. One of the largest of Herons, it has a head to tail length of 01-137 centimetres (36-54 inches) and a wingspan of 187-201 centimetres (66-79 inches). They are found where my family live, and naturally very wary of mankind, flying off as soon as you are within fifty to one hundred yards of them.

Here's a story you will love;)
After watching the Oscar's last night, I had to listen to "Southern Rain", because every time I see Miley Cyrus, I think of that song. I'm an audio engineer In Phx AZ, and I'm pretty sure I was the first person outside the Band and Producers to hear the song. About 11 years ago, someone walked in to my studio and asked me if I could stay late for a quick session, I said sure. Turns out it was with Billy Ray Cyrus. He was in town for a concert and he had just finished recording that song a few months prior, but the final mix had just completed. So he booked time with us because we had an ISDN codec (it lets you send CD quality, digital audio in real time down a phone line). I was setting up and waiting for the connection to the Nashville studio where one of his producers, Dann Huff was going to send us the final mix so I could record it to ProTools and burn a CD so Billy could hear it. While I was getting ready, Billy Ray went and layed down on the floor inside the vocal booth. They had just drove from the last tour date. Our connection was made and Dann said hello. I told Billy Ray to just put the headphones on and opened the mike that was in the room so they could talk and he wouldn't have to move (phone call with no phone;) Before they sent the audio to us, Dann asked him how the "little one" was. Billy Ray tells Dann "Oh man, that girl is gonna be the death of me...she wants to be a star in the worst way". At the time I never gave it another thought until she became the little star that she is:) And now, every time I see her, I just smile and think of that song.
p.s. At the time, all I knew of Billy Ray was "Achy Breaky Heart" so I wasn't real crazy about doing the session, but after talking with him for 10 minutes I found that he was one of the nicest, most genuine guys I've worked with.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Forty nine metres at 13:38pm on Friday 26th May 2023 off Richards Trail and Herd Road at the Pacific Northwest Raptors in North Cowichan on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
The centre cares for injured birds of prey that would not have survived in the wild due to illness or damage caused by mankind or vehicles. The birds used in the flight demonstrations are free to fly away at any point, and some actually do! They are fitted with tracking devices.
Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus Leucocephalus), derives it's name from the Greek for 'Sea eagle', and the 'bald' denotation actually derives from an older meaning of 'white headed'.Bald Eagles can be up to forty inches in length with a wingspan up to seven and a half feet and can weigh up to 6.3kgs. The females are generally 25% larger than the males.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Two metres at 11.19am on Monday 29th May 2014 off 2903 Ocean Boulevard, Victoria, on the Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary, on the Juan De Fuca Strait, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.
The Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is a wading bird in the Heron family Ardeidae and found in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. One of the largest of Herons, it has a head to tail length of 01-137 centimetres (36-54 inches) and a wingspan of 187-201 centimetres (66-79 inches). They are found where my family live, and naturally very wary of mankind, flying off as soon as you are within fifty to one hundred yards of them.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Five metres at 15:36pm on Sunday 4th June 2023 off Beach Drive at Kitty Islet in Victoria on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.
Several crows were riding the breeze off the shoreline, almost hovering above me, seemingly for fun.
The American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) is a large passerine bird species of the family Corvidae. It is a common bird found throughout much of North America. American crows measure 16-21 inches in length and are the New World counterpart to the carrion crow and the hooded crow of Eurasia

I love taking stills with my new iPhone 6s but the video at 4K is pretty disappointing unless you lock off the shot and in bright conditions and only view it on the phone. Most of the time the artifacts in the video ruin it for me, all that 4K detail goes down the toilet with all the codec issues. I think a small point and shoot like the Sony RX100 IV would have worked much better on this family trip to Disney World.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Two metres, at 13:02pm on Monday 9th January 2023, off the Mall and Horse Guards Road within the grounds of St James's Park in Central London, one of the Royal parks of London situated in South West London.
Here we see, Sciurus Carolinensis (Eastern Gray Squirrel or Grey Squirrel), a tree squirrel native to North America and first introduced to the UK in the 1870's. Though it was largely responsible for the decimation of our own native red squirrel population, those are now on the increase and found in certain parts of the UK including Scotland. The Greys are still an ecologically essential natural forester regenerator.

This is Sharp's MD-DS8/9 portable MD player. It is the world's first mass portable audio device with true balanced output. It is also the first with 1-bit audio codec used in DSD and SACD and other bitstream audio that's popular today.
Low noise floor, good measurements overall, but almost no stereo separation. Like, almost mono.
I've measured its output with RMAA here:

This photograph was taken at an altitude of Fifty seven metres at 14:32pm on a cold and wintry afternoon, on December 13th 2022, and a temperature of -1 degrees, off Chessington Avenue in Bexleyheath, Kent. Here we see a Redwing (Turdus iliacus), the smallest of the Thrush family and protected under the Wildlife and countryside Act 1981 with a current status of Red.
They rarely visit gardens unless snow is on the ground, and there are only a few nesting pairs in the UK, mainly in Scotland. They migrate to the UK from the Scandinavian coast, Russia, the Faroes and Iceland, and can detect berries using Ultra violet vision. They stay in the UK from October to April.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty two metres at 10:45am on Monday 8th May off the Sea to sky highway 99 and Shannon falls Road, at Shannon falls in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada.
Known as Kwékwetxwm, Shannon Falls holds particular significance for the Squamish First Nations people, the area’s first inhabitants. One legend tells that Say-noth-ka, a two-headed sea serpent, created the falls by repeatedly slithering up and down the mountainside. Shannon falls are British Columbia's third tallest waterfalls, dropping an impressive 335 metres(1,105 feet), with wonderful rock climbs to it's South face at 'Local boys do good', 'The gobsmacking wall', and 'Klahanie Crack'.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Eight metres, at 12:42pm on Monday 9th January 2023, off Constitution Hill and Spur Road in front of Buckingham Palace with the Union flag at full mast, in The Mall next to Green Park and St James's Park in Central London.
The roads were totally sealed off by the Police as sections of The Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons) and The band of the Household Cavalry rode and marched from the Palace up the Mall and back.
The Band of the Household Cavalry was formed in September 2014 by the union of The Band of The Life Guards with The Band of The Blues and Royals, the two mounted bands of the British Army. With over sixty musicians, the band is now the largest regular military band in the UK. The history of The Life Guards began in 1659 at the court of the exiled King Charles II in Holland.

Photograph taken at an altitude of One hundred and seventeen metres at 10:38am on Monday 8th May off the Sea to sky highway 99 and Shannon falls Road, at Shannon falls in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada.
Known as Kwékwetxwm, Shannon Falls holds particular significance for the Squamish First Nations people, the area’s first inhabitants. One legend tells that Say-noth-ka, a two-headed sea serpent, created the falls by repeatedly slithering up and down the mountainside. Shannon falls are British Columbia's third tallest waterfalls, dropping an impressive 335 metres(1,105 feet), with wonderful rock climbs to it's South face at 'Local boys do good', 'The gobsmacking wall', and 'Klahanie Crack'.

There are several reasons why you might not be getting sound from MP4 videos played from your WD My Cloud on Windows 11. Here's a breakdown of common issues and troubleshooting steps:
1. Audio Codec Compatibility:
Unsupported Codec: MP4 is a container format, meaning it can hold video and audio encoded with various codecs. Your Windows 11 media player might not have the necessary codec to decode the audio stream within the MP4 file. This is a very common issue.
HEVC (H.265) Codec: Many modern MP4 videos use HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding) for better compression. Windows 11 often requires a separate HEVC Video Extension, which is typically a paid app from the Microsoft Store, to play these videos with native apps like Films & TV. While there might be workarounds for a free OEM version, it's not always reliable.
Solutions:
Install VLC Media Player: VLC is a highly recommended free and open-source media player that comes with a vast array of built-in codecs, making it excellent for playing almost any video file without needing additional codec packs.
Install HEVC Video Extensions: If you prefer to use Windows' native media players, you might need to purchase and install the "HEVC Video Extensions" from the Microsoft Store.
K-Lite Codec Pack: This is another popular option that provides a comprehensive set of codecs for playing various media formats.
2. Windows 11 Sound Settings:
Muted or Low Volume: Double-check your system's volume settings, including the master volume, application-specific volume for your media player, and any physical volume controls on your speakers or headphones.
Incorrect Output Device: Ensure that the correct audio output device (e.g., your speakers, headphones, or external DAC) is selected as the default playback device in Windows 11 sound settings.
Audio Enhancements: Sometimes, audio enhancements can cause issues. Try disabling them in your sound device's properties.
Sound Troubleshooter: Windows 11 has a built-in audio troubleshooter that can often identify and fix common sound problems.
Solutions:
Click the Speakers icon on the taskbar and verify the volume and selected output device.
Go to Start > Settings > System > Sound. Check your output device and consider turning off "Audio enhancements" under "Advanced settings."
Run the Playing Audio troubleshooter from Start > Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
3. WD My Cloud Specific Issues:
Plex Media Server: If you're using Plex Media Server on your WD My Cloud, ensure it's configured correctly and that the media files are properly recognized and transcoded if necessary. Sometimes, Plex might have issues with certain audio codecs, or the server itself might be experiencing problems.
Firmware Updates: Ensure your WD My Cloud device has the latest firmware installed, as updates can sometimes improve compatibility and resolve known issues.
Network Connectivity/SMB Issues: While less likely to affect only sound, network access problems (especially with SMB settings in Windows 11) could indirectly cause playback issues.
Solutions:
Check the WD My Cloud dashboard for firmware updates.
If using Plex, check its settings and logs for any errors related to audio or transcoding.
4. General Troubleshooting:
Update Audio Drivers: Outdated or corrupted audio drivers on your Windows 11 PC can cause sound problems. Check for updates through Device Manager or your computer manufacturer's website.
Restart Your PC and WD My Cloud: A simple restart of both your computer and the WD My Cloud can often resolve temporary glitches.
Try a Different Video Player: As mentioned, VLC is a great option. Trying another player can help determine if the issue is with your current player or the file/system itself.
Test with Local Files: Try playing an MP4 video with sound from your local hard drive (not the WD My Cloud) to determine if the issue is specific to the WD My Cloud connection or a broader Windows 11 sound problem.
For more detailed troubleshooting on Windows 11 sound issues, you can check out this video: How to Fix No Sound Problem in Windows 11. This video provides a comprehensive guide to resolving various audio problems within the Windows 11 operating system.

but do I need VLC running or do I download the the MP4 file? there is no audio when running the file on the My Cloud site
You've hit on a crucial point! When you're trying to play an MP4 file from your WD My Cloud and you're getting no audio when running the file on the My Cloud site itself, that changes the troubleshooting focus significantly.
Here's why:
"Running the file on the My Cloud site" usually means you're using the WD My Cloud's built-in web interface or its web-based player. This player has its own set of capabilities and limitations regarding audio and video codecs. It's not using your computer's installed VLC player or Windows' native media players directly.
Therefore, the answer to your question is:
You do NOT need VLC running, nor do you necessarily need to download the MP4 file, IF your primary goal is to get the sound working when playing directly from the My Cloud website.
Why the sound might be missing on the My Cloud website:
Browser Codec Limitations: Your web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.) might not have the necessary audio codec to play the specific audio stream in that MP4 file. Browsers rely on their own built-in media decoders, which might be more limited than a dedicated media player like VLC.
My Cloud Web Player Limitations: The WD My Cloud's built-in web player is designed for convenience but might not support all audio/video codecs. If the audio codec in your MP4 file is uncommon or very new (like some advanced Dolby formats, or specific high-efficiency codecs), the My Cloud's web player might not be able to decode it.
Transcoding Failure (if applicable): Some NAS devices (including My Cloud if it has a streaming/transcoding feature enabled for its web interface) might attempt to "transcode" (convert) the video/audio on the fly for better browser compatibility. If this transcoding fails for the audio track, you'll get video but no sound.
What to do when there's no audio playing from the My Cloud website:
Since the issue is occurring within the My Cloud's web interface, here are your best approaches:
Download the MP4 file and play it locally:
This is the most reliable way to confirm the file itself is fine.
Go to the My Cloud web interface, navigate to the MP4 file, and look for an option to "Download" it to your Windows 11 computer.
Once downloaded, play it using VLC Media Player on your PC. If VLC plays it with sound, then you know the file's audio is intact, and the issue lies with the My Cloud's web player or your browser.
Access the My Cloud via Network Drive (SMB):
This bypasses the My Cloud's web interface and allows you to play the file directly using your Windows 11 PC's media players (like VLC, or even Films & TV if you have the right codecs installed).
How to do it:
Open File Explorer on your Windows 11 PC.
In the left-hand pane, click "Network" (or "This PC" and then "Network location" if mapped).
You should see your WD My Cloud listed under "Network."
Double-click it to browse its shared folders.
Navigate to your MP4 file.
Right-click the MP4 file, choose "Open with," and select VLC Media Player.
This method leverages your local PC's powerful media players and codecs, not the limited web player.
Check My Cloud Settings (Less Common for Audio):
Log into your My Cloud dashboard. Look for any settings related to media streaming, web access, or transcoding. While less common to have an "audio mute" setting, it's worth a quick check for anything obvious. Ensure the My Cloud's firmware is up to date.
In summary:
If you're only getting no audio when playing via the My Cloud's web interface, the problem is likely with the web player's codec support.
Your best immediate solution is to either download the file and play it with VLC, or access the file directly via your network drive (SMB share) and play it with VLC. This leverages VLC's superior codec support on your local machine.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Eight metres at 07:46am on Wednesday 17th May 2023 off Lone Cone Road from the front garden of a seventy year old house I was renting in Campbell Street, Tofino in British Columbia in Canada.
Eastern Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are native to the southern BC mainland, one of many different sub species of Raccoon, but are an introduced invasive species on Haida Gwaii. They were introduced in the 1940s to enhance the local fur trade, but they represent a significant threat to ground-nesting marine birds. My family refer to them as 'Trash Panda's', but I love them. They are also known as Racoons, Coons or Common Racoons

Photograph taken at an altitude of One hundred and twelve metres at 12:28pm on Thursday 25th May 2023 off Keating cross and Benvenuto Avenue at the Butterfly gardens in Victoria, located in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia.
This is Mango, who is forty five years old now, a beautiful bird that I have visited for over 27 years on my trips here (Since it was located at the Crystal Gardens in Victoria back in the day). The American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) is the only flamingo which naturally inhabits North America, and is also known as the Caribbean flamingo. They can reach up to 83 years old in captivity!

This is a compilation of a few clips that I shot on way to and from work the last few days to test the low light performance of the Panasonic GH2. I must say that I'm very impressed so far with the little gem. I'm a heavy user of the Lensbaby TT since it gives me the amazing ability to shoot and tilt just about any F-mount lens in the camerabag, being a Nikon user. My latest gear aquisition was the Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1,4/50 ZF for Nikon, it's an awesome lens for the GH2 when it comes to video work, but also for stills because it's actually quite easy to focus manually with the EVF.
There is noise/grain in some of the footage but remember it was shot in darkness, pretty much wide open and at the higher ISO range, noise is most visible in the 1:1 crop mode scenes (EX-tele). Most the clips are ungraded except for the "vintage scratched film" look added to one of the clips. In the first scenes I used a slow shutter speed (1/5 and 1/13) and did a speed up in post for a quick and rather jerky timelapse. Be aware that the original 1080p file available for download is XDCAM EX codec, so you'll need QuickTime and FCP on Mac OS X for the playback or re-wrap the files to MXF and then use Sony XDCAM viewer for Windows.
