Gemma was back in Hull for the weekend again, and we had a night out on Prince's Avenue round a few bars.
We ended up at the Live Lounge again where I did karaoke, but it was an awful performance so I can't bring myself to put the video up on here, ha ha!

Another April evening in purple although a different dress. And a bit of experimentation with new footwear as well.
I do quite like how the boots look with the dress. It was my first time trying them on, and obviously they feel a lot different to wearing my usual sandals so they did feel a bit strange to wear. I only had them on to try and to take a couple of pictures, I soon changed back into my usual.
Comments are highly appreciated.

a perfect companion for a day of photography on the water. I tried to put her picture in my comments but it didn't work...anyway...yes we saw osprey, purple martins, herons, seals, etc so why would I put up a turkey vulture???
....cuz I love them !!!!...I liked this shot because the companion's wing framed it's face.....not only that but Mel being the amazingly generous person that she is had in her bag of goodies the 1.4 extender I have on order but didn't receive yet...so I could take these magnificent birds with the extra reach....they were working hard to clean up a baby seal that had died. These birds are not aggressive they just go about their business making the world a healthier place.
Now back to our adventure if you would rather see a most magnificent osprey go to Blingsister...she posted a beauty!
Thanks again Captain Mel for another memorable adventure!
PS If someone knows how to put a picture in the comments let me know and I'll post Mel picking me up at the dock...thanks

Automobile companies contributing to the war effort by aiding in weapons manufacture was not a new thing. Nevertheless, Continental Motors surprised American news agencies when it announced in 1983 that it would be submitting a design for upcoming military weapons trials.
The Mark 1 received much criticism, many papers commented that Continental had gone about building a gun like it was a motor, more fit to be strapped to four wheels then held by two hands. A military officer commented, "I thought we gave our soldiers guns, not clubs." Yet despite the Mark 1's heavy, bulky shape, it proved itself well in the trials. It was certainly not as pretty as the Browning P69, the other front runner of the trials, nor did it have the propaganda appeal of the Browning, but the heavy weight and muzzle device allowed the Continental machine pistol to be easily controlled at a fire rate far higher than the competition.
Cheap to manufacture, high fire rate, and great control made it a serious contender. Ultimately, money would do the talking, and the Army selected the Mark 1 over the far more expensive P69. The Continental Motors Mark 1 would go into service in 1984, as hostilities began to break out once more.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers. A platoon of noisy miners currently at war with other noisy miners. Between the two clans, they have driven all other native birds out of the neighbourhood, except the crested pigeons and butcherbirds.
Noisy Miner.
Scientific Name: Manorina melanocephala
Description: The Noisy Miner is a bold and curious bird. It is identified by its mostly grey body and black crown and cheeks. The bill is yellow, as are the legs and the naked skin behind the eye. The name is well suited as the common calls are uttered repeatedly by the members of the colony. Despite their moderate size, Noisy Miners aggressively attack larger birds such as hawks and kookaburras. These attacks may be so vigorous that most other birds are excluded from an area occupied by Noisy Miners.
Similar species: The similar Yellow-throated Miner, Manorina flavigula, has a grey crown, white rump, and a line of bare yellow skin on the sides of the throat. People often confuse miners with the introduced Common Myna, Acridotheres tristis. The Common Myna is quite different in plumage (mostly dark brown) and, although it has similar facial markings, belongs to the starling family, while the miners are honeyeaters.
Distribution: Noisy Miners range from northern Queensland along the eastern coast to South Australia and Tasmania.
Habitat: Noisy Miners are found in woodlands and open forests. They have also become well adapted to suburban situations and are a common sight in parks and gardens.
Feeding: The Noisy Miner feeds on nectar, fruits and insects. Very occasionally they will eat small reptiles and amphibians. Food is either taken from trees or on the ground. In keeping with its highly social nature, the Noisy Miner usually feeds in large groups.
Breeding: Noisy Miners breed in small to large colonies and several broods may be reared during a single season. The female constructs the nest and incubates the eggs alone, but both sexes will care for and feed the young birds. Additional 'helpers' usually also feed the young. Interestingly, these helpers are almost always male birds.
Calls: A loud 'pwee pwee pwee' and a piping 'pee pee pee' when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 24cm
Maximum Size: 29cm
Average size: 26cm
Average weight: 59g
Breeding season: July to December

Rainbow Bee-eater
Scientific Name: Merops ornatus
The Rainbow Bee-Eater is a spectacular bird. With its green, blue, chestnut and yellow plumage, its slim build, slender curved bill and distinctive streamers that extend from the end of its tail, it is simply beautiful. Bee-Eaters are a familiar sight in many lightly-timbered parts of mainland Australia, where they often perch on fence-posts or overhead wires, then launch after flying insects, flying swiftly, sometimes with rapid twists and turns, before snapping the insect in its bill, and returning to the perch to eat it. Research featured in the 'State of Australia's Birds 2015' headline and regional reports shows a marked decline for the Rainbow Bee-eater (and some other aerial insectivories) in the East Coast region, where reporting rates for this species have dropped by over 50% in the since 2001.
Description: A striking, colourful bird, the Rainbow Bee-eater is medium sized, with a long slim curved bill and a long tail with distinctive tail-streamers. It has a golden crown and a red eye set in a wide black stripe from the base of the bill to the ears, which is edged with a thin blue line. The throat is orange-yellow, with a broad black band separating it from a green breast. The upperparts are green, with the flight feathers coppery and black tipped. The underwings are bright orange, with a black edge. The lower abdomen is blue. The tail is black, including the long tail streamers, with a blue tinge. Females have shorter, thicker tail streamers than males, but are otherwise similar. Young birds are duller and greener, lacking the black band on the chest and the long tail streamers.
Similar Species: The Rainbow Bee-eater may resemble some kingfishers, however these are plumper, with strong straight beaks, and never catch prey in flight.
Distribution: The Rainbow Bee-eater is found throughout mainland Australia, as well as eastern Indonesia, New Guinea and, rarely, the Solomon Islands. In Australia it is widespread, except in desert areas, and breeds throughout most of its range, although southern birds move north to winter over.
Habitat: The Rainbow Bee-eater is most often found in open forests, woodlands and shrublands, and cleared areas, usually near water. It will be found on farmland with remnant vegetation and in orchards and vineyards. It will use disturbed sites such as quarries, cuttings and mines to build its nesting tunnels.
Feeding: Rainbow Bee-eaters eat insects, mainly catching bees and wasps, as well as dragonflies, beetles, butterflies and moths. They catch flying insects on the wing and carry them back to a perch to beat them against it before swallowing them. Bees and wasps are rubbed against the perch to remove the stings and venom glands.
Breeding: Rainbow Bee-eaters gather in small flocks before returning to summer breeding areas after over-wintering in the north (apart from the resident northern populations). Both males and females select a suitable nesting site in a sandy bank and dig a long tunnel (average length: 89.4 cm) leading to a nesting chamber, which is often lined with grasses. Both parents incubate the eggs and both feed the young, sometimes with the assistance of auxiliaries (helpers).

Saturday night in Lincoln was one of our best nights out there ever. We had such a great time, lots of interaction with other people.
We started out at the Skylight Bar in the Doubletree hotel on Brayford Wharf then went on to Popworld, which was a Fever Boutique last time we were there.
At Popworld we met the wonderful Ashliegh who was just great company all night! And we had a dance on the light-up dance floor too. A brill night all round!
Video from the end of the night, walking back to the hotel room after an awesome night out.

Friday of a very very social week, my lovely friend Meghan came to Hull for taps at Ambiente.
We had a lovely time and went on to Cuban Pete's for a drink afterwards.

I had a lovely evening out with my dear friend Andrew. We went to Cognac for amazing French food then took a walk to Prince's Avenue and had drinks in 80 Days Bierhaus. A lovely evening!
Yep had narrowed it down to two and I think Esme's comment has confirmed my gut feeling - I like this little dude's legs all dangling down :-)

The European goldfinch or simply the goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis), is a small passerine bird in the finch family that is native to Europe, North Africa and western and central Asia. It has been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand and Uruguay.
The breeding male has a red face with black markings around the eyes, and a black-and-white head. The back and flanks are buff or chestnut brown. The black wings have a broad yellow bar. The tail is black and the rump is white. Males and females are very similar, but females have a slightly smaller red area on the face.
The goldfinch is often depicted in Italian renaissance paintings of the Madonna and Child.

Hooded Crow
The Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix) (sometimes called Hoodiecrow) is a Eurasian bird species in the crow genus. Widely distributed, it is also known locally as Scotch Crow, Danish Crow, and Grey Crow in Ireland, which is what its Welsh name, Brân Lwyd, translates as. Found across northern, eastern and southeastern Europe, and the middle east, it is a ashy grey bird with black head, throat, wings, tail and thigh feathers, as well as a black bill, eyes and feet. Like other corvids it is an omnivorous and opportunistic forager and feeder.
It is so similar in morphology and habits to the Carrion Crow (Corvus corone) that for many years they were considered by most authorities to be merely geographical races of one species. The fact that hybridization was observed where their ranges overlapped added weight to this view. However, since 2002, the Hooded Crow has been elevated to full species status after closer observation; the hybridisation was less than expected and hybrids had decreased vigour. Within the Hooded Crow species itself, four subspecies are recognized, with one, the Mesopotamian Crow, possibly distinct enough to warrant species status itself.

Leş kargası
Leş kargasının tüyleri yeşil ya da morumsu parlayan siyahdır, fakat parlaklık ekin kargasına kıyasla daha yeşilimsidir. Gaga, bacaklar ve ayaklar siyahtır. Diğer alttürünün başı ve göğsü siyahtır ve yine aynı boydadır. Bayağı kuzgundan boyunun 48-52 cm. olmasıyla ayırt edilibilir. Fakat ekin kargasıyla sık sık karıştırılır.
Kuşun gagası kalınca ve daha kısa görünümdedir, yetişkin ekin kargalarının burun delikleri açıkken, leş kargalarında bütün yaşlarda burun delikleri kalın-kısa tüylerle kaplıdır.

+2 in the comments, the second shot makes me laugh so hard!
Can you tell I'm liking the whole backlight/flare thing lately? :P
So this is Kasper and he lent his house to us for the photo shoot with Tyshan on Tuesday night. Of course after I offered to take some portraits of him after we finished up inside, so we headed down the block and setup a few lights in front of a roundabout...it was 11p.m by this time and cars were still driving past us which stalled shooting and focusing in the dark with the 5d II is near impossible and when I turned the modeling light on the ab, the Vagabond started beeping non stop, so I couldn't use it. One car actually drove past us, proceeded to stop and this older woman complained that we had taken a picture of her and her car?? But I reassured her I most definitely did not and she just scowled at me and drove off. It's fun how much attention you draw shooting outside since it's not something people see everyday and each car that passed by slowed down to see what was going on :P
I wanted to try a 2 light setup for this (seeing as I always tend to use one) and thought the rim light/ flare look would work out here with a nice gel on it, so I put my Cactus v5 on the 580 ex II behind Kasper (I only have a 1 set of cactus') and luckily the ab's have an optical slave that goes off when it sees another light, so when the 580 went off, it triggered the ab for me without needing another Cactus :)
I finally decided to sell my 5d mk1 to a member in our photography club at school and I'll be finally getting my own 5d II very soon since used prices are awesome!

Here are the upper falls in BW as suggested in the comments for the previous color version. Same 5 shot pano. In the PSE 11 BW conversion I increased the contrast and blue filter to pop the white of the ice. Also, some vertical distortion correction and a closer vertical crop to emphasize the falls.
Ok, opinions on this set...
The builds are decent, a bit out of scale but I don’t mind
And the figs, OMFG they are frickin’ b-e-a-u-t-I-f-u-l!!! They are so detailed and I couldn’t ask for better and the fact that the set comes with two extra battle droids is great.
Overall, magnificent set and I will definitely be picking this one up.
Comment your thoughts on the set :)
