Son muchos los parámetros y variables que tenemos que controlar para hacer bonitas fotos de aves.

Para mi uno de los que mas importancia tiene es el fondo sobre el que se situa el protagonista.

Los fondos muy planos, aunque para mi preferibles a los muy enmarañados, son sosos,si bien las aves suelen lucir bien sobre ellos.

Los fondos con contrastes de luz, pueden resultar algunas veces interesantes, pero si estos son excesivos con muchas zonas oscuras resaltando, suelen arruinar la foto.

Conseguir un fondo natural, con distintos tonos suaves y donde el ave luzca bien, no es sencillo y muchas veces la luz es el factor fundamental para ello.

Las luces que dan los días un poco nublados son las ideales para conseguir fondos poco contrastados y con colores suaves y dependiendo de lo que tengamos detrás del pájaro, con distintos tonos que aportan interés a la fotografía.

En este caso, muestro una joven Curruca mirlona (Sylvia hortensis), fotografiada a primera hora de la mañana del mes de Julio, cuando el Sol se encontraba tapado por unas finas nubes.

Este mismo fondo con el Sol incidiendo sobre el unos minutos después ya cambiaba totalmente y dejaba de tener interés.

Fondos, luces, posaderos, posturas, momentos, composición, nitidez, muchas variables para poder lograr un bonita foto y que resulta realmente complicado que se den todos a la vez.

En el caso de esta fotografía creo que el posadero entre otros detalles, es mejorable y es justo lo que mas estaba en mi mano el haber podido controlar, ya que la fotografía esta realizada en un bebedero natural y el posadero esta colocado a tal fin por mi.

Pero esto de los posaderos es otro tema.

Saludos.

We enjoyed a nice outing to South Coyote Buttes last night. This is one of the most iconic features in the area known as the Control Tower with some soft twilight glow. If you ever get a permit to visit, I can take you out here for the best light! Other tour guides in the area just take you out in the middle of the day. Trust me, it looks a million times better in the golden hour!

"The walls are closing in again

So claustrophobic as I'm trapped in my head

It’s like I don't belong in my own skin

It's sinking in, I’m lower than I've ever been

(Oh god, oh god)

Why do I feel so wrong?

(I hold on, hold on)

Before I'm too far gone

I can't let it consume me

I'm losing my grip

(Woah, woah)

Sometimes my mind takes me for a ride

Feels like I'm ready to die, I'm ready to die

'Cause I got thoughts so dark, they tear me apart

And I know that I’m losing control

I’ve been running from the one in the mirror

Now it's been forever since I could see clear

Nobody can help

I’m the only one who can save myself

I hear voices that fill me with doubt

I try so hard to block them out

I sit around and wonder why

I'm alive but I don't feel much life

(Oh god, oh god)

Why do I feel so wrong?

(I hold on, hold on)

To all the hope not lost

I won't let it consume me

I need to get out of this nightmare

Sometimes my mind takes me for a ride

Feels like I’m ready to die, I'm ready to die

'Cause I got thoughts so dark, they tear me apart

And I know that I'm losing control

I've been running from the one in the mirror

Now it's been forever since I could see clear

Nobody can help

I'm the only one who can save myself

Save myself

Sometimes my mind takes me for a ride

Feels like I'm ready to die

I'm ready to die

Sometimes my mind takes me for a ride

Feels like I'm ready to die, I'm ready to die

'Cause I got thoughts so dark, they tear me apart

And I know that I'm losing control

I've been running from the one in the mirror

Now it's been forever since I could see clear

Nobody can help

I'm the only one who can save myself

I'm the only one who can save myself"

Ex coal mine (1914-1988)

My intrigue for New York's fencing habits. I'm very excited about how this photo transitions as far as depth of field is concerned.

Now, I'm just quoting from un upcoming blog post, but…

I don't know if it's just the sun, but Philly seems so much warmer than New York, and I'm not talking about heat. It feels so inviting. I enjoyed New York very thoroughly, but New York as a place to make a residence? Not for me. NYC fences everything. It's a small detail, but it's biting. The playgrounds, the parks, the grass, the courts… everything feels uncomfortably controlled. Man *conquered* New York, mastered New York, even. And I guess it turns out I'm not so in tune with controlling our environments to that degree.

I know that I am a bit late to the party, but here is my take of the close encounter of Mars with the Pleiades open cluster.

I would have loved to shoot this as a deepscape from a dark sky location with some nice landscape in the foreground, but first I was clouded out and when it finally cleared, I had to fly the other day and was only able to shoot from my light polluted backyard.

Sometimes, you have to take what you can, even if it means to shoot a reflection nebula under a bortle 5 sky. Hope I will have better conditions in 17 years, when this encounter will happen again.

Fort Baker, Battery Spencer. I believe this is as close as one can get to the bridge at Battery Spencer. This was fun.

Control Tower

The view here is east. I'm standing on the Mauna Lani property, on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island. The fire is about five miles away in the Waikoloa hills.

The time is approximately 09:30 PM HST (-10:00 GMT).

The Hawaii Civil Defense broadcast, which was broadcast at 10:00 PM, indicated the fire remains out of control, though no homes are threatened.

For those familiar with the area, the Queen Ka'ahumanu highway entrance to Waikoloa Road is closed. I had to loop around through Kawaihae and Waimea in order to get back home to Waikoloa Village this evening.

I think this is best viewed really large.

An AC inverter control panel (slightly less than 3" horizontally from edge to edge). This type of inverter, more commonly called a variable-frequency drive, is generally used as an efficient motor speed control in many commercial and industrial applications. Similar systems are used in microwave ovens, air-conditioning systems, EVs, and other consumer devices.

One downside to inverter technology is a distinctive, continuous high-pitched whine emitting from the motor. Noises like this are familiar to anyone who has taken a subway or a trolley using newer equipment.

In this instance, I am using a secondhand inverter and motor to power a 35mm projector, giving it variable speed capability and, more importantly, prolonging the time it takes to come up to full speed and slow down to a stop to minimize stress on the mechanism and film.
