Q-tips nicely stacked, that's all I got... approximately 0.75 in. X 0.75 in. for the group Macro Mondays, theme: "Cotton"
Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro, w/PK-12 & PK-13 Extension Tubes (41.5mm), single image shot at f/22.0, an f/stop I don't often shoot at with this magnification and it shows a bit in the image quality (IQ) of the fibers. Sometimes it's all about tradeoffs as I couldn't get a decent Depth of Field (DoF) with a lower f/stop and focus stack failed with so much depth and overlap with the fibers.
Water Nymph's Dell, Wentworth Falls, Blue Mountains, Sydney.
A long and slippery wet walk down a steep "track" leads to this beautiful waterfall making the journey well worthwhile.
As we have had some decent rain here in Sydney this year, and particularly just recently, it was time to get out to the waterfalls and take advantage of the conditions. We are in a La Nina year meaning above average rainfall for much of Eastern Australia, which is in stark contrast to the last few years where we had drought caused by El Nino weather event. I must say, I love the rain!
On a decent day, this view across Gruinard Bay in Wester Ross rarely disappoints.
The scenery does all the hard work for you.
Many thanks as always for your welcome views and comments.
This is the start of the breeding time and the Herons are staring to build their nests. They are well located in the middle of lakes in between tall reeds and vegetation. Judging by the size of the materials, the nests are decent size - maybe half a meter to a meter wide easily.
I had never seen those chicks since they are always obstructed by vegetation. Have no hopes of catching a glimpse of the chicks this year as well.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
A few weeks back I put a black&white image of a flower reflected on a mirror into a camera club competition. I wanted to give it a grungy look and so I purposely darkened it down to shades of shadow and light and added a lot of grain into the photo using Nik Silver Efex (great bit of software if you don't know it). My thought was that the judge would look at it and think something like, "wow, this is artistic and the grain works really well". You can guess the rest. He took one look at it and announced that it could have been a decent image except that it was very grainy. So much for the artistry of my post processing skills. 😂 So, as much to appease myself as anyone else I'm going to give you something similar here with this beach scene. And I warn you, if anyone says it's ok but its a little grainy, I'm coming after you!

I took some quite decent images of the first winter male Bluethroat on Sunday in the most vile weather but the images of the full adult bird were quite poor .These birds are rare in the here in the white spotted form and it is possible that some years only around 40 birds visit the UK . I managed to get a few hours off work today and returned to the spot they were .I knew that the sunshine would shine on the far bank of the dyke after midday and lo and behold the adult bird was still there so I managed to get some much better images ( the other bird I could not find )
impossible light levels to get a decent exposed picture on a single Raw, so a hdr rescued the day for me @+3,-3, and 0.
UNEXPECTED VISITOR Just as we were packing up from seeing anything decent from our hide in a wooded area, this beautiful male cuckoo appeared, with glistening emerald green plumage. We had a mad panic trying to get back into shooting mode again, as it did stay more than a few seconds. Seen in the Gambia, and lucky to do so.
=======================
THANK YOU for your visit and friendship, I am still looking back and enjoying some of my old images, and I hope you are too.
Keep Warm safe and well

Mr. Red-bellied is looking very proud these days. He and the Mrs. are the parents of a very cute juvenile male that fledged late last week. They have been very protective of this youngster and have done a good job of keeping him in secluded areas of the backyard. Frustrating for the photographer but good for the little one. I am hoping to get a decent shot of this darling youngster soon!
You really can't take decent shots whilst holding a conversation, on a windy day, with one hand holding a phone to an ear whilst trying to take photos with a full frame dslr with the other. It's my normal slapdash approach to photography. Sorry.
Oh, I just noticed Darcy is in the shot. Can you see her? Doing what she always does when she is getting bored waiting for me to take my shots, and goes and sits right in front to try and make a point to me! no, she's not up by the tree. Try a little lower.
Decent reflections of the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge crossing the Ohio River on an overcast, cold day. This morning we're in single digits.

Another experimental ICM shot from Portwrinkle beach in Cornwall. Good cloud cover and a decent surf seem to help achieve a more painterly effect..... lots to learn with this technique !!!
Looking across Deception Pass through the underside of the bridge. The bridge connects Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island in Washington State.
He is a glazier who runs a shop next to this beautiful place.
This image could be much better if I had a decent lens.
The 'trail,' such as it is, is just a few feet from the ragged edge of the bluffs. Poison oak is thick. Cell service is intermittent to non-existent. Should you be so unwise as to follow in my footsteps, make sure a responsible person knows where you are going. So they can arrange a decent burial for your remains . . .
Kidding. Sort of. You would actually be less than a half-mile from busy CA-1. Best to go in a group. I hate groups . . .
This part of the coast truly is a trip into the past of Old California. The landscape here has changed very little since Europeans arrived. It's an undeveloped State Park, and I fervently hope it remains that way. Not many places like this are left on this busy Coast!
Man könnte es understatement nennen. Menschen machen gern auf "Dicke Hose". In der Natur ist das unnötig.
Even subtle can be attractive.
Half decent forecast so an early start and decided to finally pull my finger out for a leg stretch.
Set off from Stanage Edge about 03.30am and walked across the moor to Burbage, down to Over Owler Tor and back via Surprise View/Carl Walk/Higger Tor. Got my timing a little wrong and it was still pretty dark by the time I'd got to my location so made a coffee and found some shelter from the wind.
Went with the intention of shooting The KitKat Stones towards Carl Walk, but nothing was happening in that direction. The light eventually came right as the sun got higher and it looked amazing but I was already on the other side of Higger Tor and my knee was complaining. A month off and the hill fitness seems to just disappear. Made a brew and packed up and sat for a good half hour just taking in the light as it changed in Hope Valley.
Missed the heather last year and glad I made the effort. It really is stunning at the moment.
7.5 miles, back home by 10am, only saw two people. Job's a good 'un.
I spent a fair bit of time in Newfoundland this summer. So much of the landscape there is stunning. This area is not. But, I really liked how the fence looked and planned to photograph it during an evening that had a bit of colour in the sky. I was otherwise occupied during the most spectacular sunsets, but this one was decent.
Some decent numbers of these waders are passing through Northumberland heading south after their breeding season, some of them still retaining some of their orange summer colours.
Around 200 are hanging around on a local estuary at Amble on the falling tide they can be quite close to the road enabling me to get some decent photographs. Loud motorbikes going way to fast while annoying did at least provide the opportunity for some flight shots as they all switched to further along the river.
This shot was taken 5 months ago along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It shows the early stages of a cloud inversion, mist condensing into the lowest points, clouds rolling down the sides of mountains, eventually it will fill this whole area. I really do like the look, though I would have preferred a bit more light in the area. I stopped before the tunnel to Devils Courthouse to grab this shot after my shoot at graveyard fields. I decided to go with a small landscape, with a big sky in this composition, dark in the valley against a fiery sky above.
ISO: 160
Aperture: f16

No filters this time, the light was fading so fast i didn't want to hassle with them.
Noticed this 7-spot Ladybird in some forget-me-not and thought the blue made for a decent background.

RKO_9617. Male Kingfisher taking a bath!
It's so difficult to take a decent sharp shot of a fast flying kingfisher, not to mention a handheld shot of a kingfisher coming out of the water!
This capture is far from perfect, but it gives you a good idea of the dynamics and challenges to capture the moment! Timing, light, focus and settings.....!?

Still looking for rooftop bars and taco joints, I decided to widen my search a scosh. I'm guessing I could flick a spit ball and hit quite a few decent joints from this perspective. I can't help it, I have a deep love for the city of my birth, and love capturing its beauty--and its warts for that matter.

Had no idea how to smuggle Legoes in the handmade theme, so here's a Lego-sized axe I've shown before.
Realized much too late that I could have used the words "die komplette Montagetechnik" to get the word Montag (Monday) in better view, but as it was a stormy, cloudy day, I had maybe a quarter of an hour to have any idea and shoot it with decent light.

DF 7226 leads a decent 934 along the Katiki coastline. A bit of a rarity, as we don't see many single loco trains in these parts any more.
10 Sept 2019, train 934, 7226, Shag Point, SIMT-NZ
Huge steam engines mounted on skids made of meter wide tree trunks used to haul lumber up and down this incline. This operation was run by the Lougheed Abernathy Logging company which entered bankruptcy in the 1930's during the depression and after a massive forest fire.
This forest fire was likely caused by the "Steam Donkeys" a surviving example is on display at the University of British Columbia's Malcom Knapp research forest.
I will be back by September 3rd after a visit to Banff National Park.
I've been wanting to capture this wreck for a long time so I was pleased that the conditions were halfway decent on our last night on the island, although a stunning sunset would have been on my list if I could order up one. Still there was a nice bit of pastel light lending a gentle quality to the scene.

When a great grey owl attacks a prey animal from a low perch, it will tend to jump up and give a strong downward wingbeat to get a bit of elevation. They will fly out to be closer to the prey and begin to arc downwards, assuming a posture like this as they tip forward and do a steep dive onto their prey.
This pose also shows the size of their wings and tail relative to their body when the feathers are fanned out in slow, controlled flight.
There were no rodents harmed in the making of this photo. In fact, the owl missed on a few occasions while I watched it hunt.
