Xichong Beach (西涌) is one of several beaches located in the Mainland Chinese city of Shenzhen bordering Hong Kong.
It is one of the larger beaches in Shenzhen, but its rather remote location often makes it less crowded compared to other more well known and accessible beaches such as Dameisha Beach for example.
I took this portrait of the Little Female a few days ago.
Then, Little Red a Male I haven't seen for several months showed up.
I was able to capture him in a similar pose and thought it would be good to post them next to each other.
As a comparison.
Male and female.
Note the slight differences in head shape and his darker red color. Hence the name Little Red. He is a smaller male.
He has been hanging around her den for the last few days.
When they are focused on her, they completely ignore me. Which is cool, as it allows me to work in close.
Also, an older male that is really starting to show his age, is showing up. He is pretty banged up.
Camera Settings: f/7.1 - 1/160 - 472mm - ISO 320
Comparing two cameras. Same bird same perch same lens same cropped image size (2048x1365) different cameras with big difference in price :0)
The most spectacular sunset colors are typically when the sun is no longer visible and below the horizon, afterglow in the twilight zone.
This rocky outcrop is actually a temple on a little island normally surrounded by the sea. The rocky seabed is however exposed at low-tide as per this image.
Was searching for an angle to frame the sacred island when I noticed how the little tide pools on a section of the exposed rocky seafloor shone like mirrors against the spectacular but fleeting light at dusk.
Quite happy with the composition with the little tide pools as foreground interest with the temple against the quality of the evening light.
Meanwhile Samyang has just announced their new AF 135mm f1.8 FE prime lens at a reasonable 772g and $999, this should be very interesting especially for those like me who like such a lens but don't use it often enough to justify or need the Sony 135mm f1.8 GM. The Batis 135mm is an entire stop slower at f2.8 and doubled the price, yikes! I really like my older Samyang manual focus 135mm f2.0 originally designed for DSLR, this is widely regarded as one of Samyang's best lens and a real steal for the money. The new Samyang AF 135mm f1.8 also has 11 aperture blades compared to just 9 in the older version.
Swansea Castle has had a shorter lifespan compared to other Welsh castle, but her history is just as exciting. The ruins which remain today are of the third castle known to have been built on this site. From battles and sieges, and several changes of ownership, this castle’s history is varied and interesting. It’s a shame that some of the castle was removed and modern buildings constructed in very close proximity.

It's late afternoon, straight into the sun for me, so more than challenging conditions. But the little owls were active and learning to fly, taking short up-and-down spurts and circles. This one just looks like they're comparing notes on how it's done. Or remarking at one of their siblings' efforts in the air. From the clutch of nine, a couple of months ago.
Compare this Willow Warbler with the one I posted yesterday which is a normal Spring Willow Warbler. This one I found on the patch at the same time ,its the palest Willow Warbler I think ive ever seen there are 3 possibilities really, and none are easy to determine. I have consulted an expert on the subject and the answer isn't clear. There is a possibility its a Northern race bird (Acredula) but this bird is paler than those , then it could be the Eastern Race (Yakutensis) which would be very rare but unfortunately there is also crossover between races. The other option and probably most likely , is its the normal race Willow Warbler (trochilus) but for some abnormal reason it has not moulted at all,in the winter and the plumage is so worn it has become almost washed out , as the feathers do look worn . Normal Spring Willow Warblers are prestine green and yellow which as you can see this bird isn't at all , so which race cannot from pictures be totally determined , but whatever it was it was a smart unusual Willow Warbler , like none ive seen before really, in 50 years of birding,also when it tried to sing , it was nothing like a Willow Warbler so possibly a 2nd cy bird that even has a aberant song.
You may have heard that there was a fairly large Aurora Australis last week, I happened to be lucky enough to capture it from Flinders, Victoria! Although it's nothing compared to the Aurora Borealis, its still amazing to me that we get to see this only an hour away from a major city...

In the delicacy of night
one step, two steps beyond twilight...
in the midst of a sleepy river
all the beauty that nature can deliver
unperturbed, upon a World we share
no distance felt, nor reason to compare
With a Sun departed and a Moon away
came the purity of a hitherto unseen soiree.

Heres the color version of the black and white square table flower from June conference.
Captured with iPhone and Olloclip Macro Lens, edited on the iPad in Snapseed. The flower was illuminated with natural light from behind it.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey
I, I've been kissed by a rose on the grey
I've (And if I should fall, will it all go away?) been kissed by a rose on the grey
I, I've been kissed by a rose on the grey

i made a youtube video comparing PBR items in Alchemy Beta (PBR capable viewer) and Firestorm (currently nonPBR viewer) just to see the differences.

If you make it over there, let me know what you think.
Firestorm is working on adding PBR. If you want to join their beta testing group to test their pbr viewer, go to their website and click the link to join their beta group in SL.
Alchemy beta does not have all the whistles and bells of Firestorm. For example, no area search which as a hunter, I really like. However, it does have some other advantages. PBR is one. That's very cool. Frame rate is faster. and you can do alt shift C for cinema mode for pictures and videos and the UI and huds disappear. Nice!
However, I know where things are in Firestorm so I'm very comfy with it.
The coolest thing about PBR: realtime reflections so you can have mirrors.
Compare the original with the pictures on the postcard. In Valldemossa, the two look very much alike. No wonder, then, that so many tourists visit this pretty town in the mountains of Mallorca every day. The best time to visit is in the evening. Above all, it is a good idea to look around and stroll through the less crowded streets.
Ford Cortina Mk.IV 1.6GL (1976-79) Engine 1600cc S4
Registration Number SLM 279 R (London NW)

The fourth-generation Cortina was a more conventional design than its predecessor, but this was largely appreciated by fleet buyers. Generally a rebody of the Mark III the Mk.IV was in essence a rebadged Ford Taunus.
The Mark IV went on sale in September 1976 with many parts carried over from the Mk.III most notably the running gear. The most obvious change was the new body, which achieved the marketing department objective of larger windows giving a better view out and a brighter feel to the cabin, but at the expense of body weight. This series spawned the first Ghia top-of-the-range model, which replaced the 2000E. The 2.3-litre Ford Cologne V6 engine was introduced in 1977 as an engine above the 2.0 L Pinto engine, already a staple of the Capri and Granada ranges. However, 2.3-litre Cortina's never sold particularly well in the UK. The Cologne V6 was certainly a much smoother and more refined power unit than the Pinto, but the V6 models were more expensive to fuel and insure and were only slightly faster, being about 0.5 seconds faster from 0–60 and having a top speed of about 109 mph compared to the 104 mph of the 2.0-litre models.
Through its five generations the Cortina would go on to regularly be Britain's best selling new motor car, giving rise to Cortina Man being used by political parties as an electioneering demographic

Compared to the previous versions, I think I've managed to capture the distinct arrow-head shape much better, along with the low profile angles. It's also about 30% bigger now and that has meant I've been able to really go to town on the windows!

Compared to my previous post, this scene is a couple of miles deeper into St Charles Canyon and on the opposite side. The green trees in the foreground are aspens which are barely starting to turn yellow while the mountain maples are at their peak of red autumn color. This is a three photo panorama.
Compared to its Tokaido Shinkansen counterpart south of Tokyo, the Tohoku Shinkansen route from Omiya to Aomori is far less busy. Despite the frequent breaks between trains, train variety is diverse, and the route host some of the fastest trains, officially, in the world.

Not as sharp as I normally like, so recommend you don't look too close :-) (ok, i get that a comment like that would normally prompt me to do exactly that but, really, don't... Trying to focus manually was tricky, coupled with dark conditions and lots of people wandering around...not a good combination. One day I'll actually take a tripod with me when I go somewhere :-( )
Fairly sympathetic edits - a little CEFex, a smidgen of SEfex, but mainly just tightening in affinity.
"Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam"... although I love seeing them here, although their space to roam is immense compared to the usual paddocks reserved for this species, the sad reality is that these Buffalo - technically, Bison bison - are the pathetic remnants of what once was. Best estimates say there were once 30 million of them on the Great Plains of North America. By the mid-1880s there were 200 left. So here they are, showcase buffalo, wonderful to see but also a grim reminder of the slaughter that took place here not so long ago. Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan.
