Timing in photography can make a huge difference in the appeal or action captured.
I was fortunate to capture this ducks behavior at the right time as it seemed to be responding in a less than friendly manner to the other duck nearby! - I love the other duck's indifference to the verbal attack too!!! :-)
I'm sure we could relate to this kind of behavior and probably substitute the ducks for people!! :-)
Hope you like it!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - greatly appreciated!!
Have a tremendous day and week folks!
Blue Tits are beautiful little birds that are familiar visitors to gardens. Sexes are similar so it is impossible to tell the difference between male and female on appearance alone. This species regularly uses nestboxes in gardens and sometimes raises large broods of chicks, which can sometimes produce over 10 fledglings
Some houses at Spalding, I found the nearest semi-detached houses quite interesting. They share a roof but one neighbour has tiles, the other slates, etc. There's a good bricked-up gateway as well at the start of the row.

āNo one ever made a difference by being like everyone elseā.
Some images just have an emotional impactā¦ more than others?
This one, the moment I saw it in the perfect light, when I photographed it, when I first laid eyes on it, aaah the thrill!
I canāt begin to tell you how it feels.
I always keep these a little longer before I publish them, keep them close for awhile.
Now I am ready to share it.
Hope you like it, thank you and have a happy day, Magda, (*_*)

I love all the retro beer signs at Grumpy's. And the red velvet wallpaper!

This Golden Retriever lives a few blocks from me and when He and Trish go for a walk they stop in to see me.. I wrote a little limerick and he wound up in a little bath tub.. Couldn't figure that one out, it was so obvious.. I was telling another friend about the pictures and what I had said and she said that the word washed gave me the bathtub try cleaned instead.. Made all the difference in the world... Created in MidJourney.. Prompt:
There is a Golden Retriever named Copper
Heās a real love and Oh, so proper
But he cleans my face
When he visits my place
And he really is a big bopper!!
Obviously the same village church in Pulham St Mary. Taken with the same in camera Fuji settings for jpeg as the other day and from a similar position. The only real significant change is the natural light between the two days. The building itself seems to change in terms of texture! I much prefer the first image for the light but I thought it was interesting the difference between the light conditions and why we chase it so much. Anyway I decided to post this today.
What a difference a change of colour can make. This is a Mono conversion of my last post. Think it turned out quite dramatic.
This is a very long exposure of 601 secs, using a Lee Big Stopper together with a Little Stopper.
There is quite a difference in winter versus the warm months in observing the eating habits of pheasants. In the summer time unless you are out very early in the mornings or happen to catch them searching for bits of gravel to serve as grit to help their digestion, pheasants often are more hidden as they seek things to eat. They normally have a menu with more entries on it than they do during the winter.
The phrase āscratching out a livingā goes all the way back to the 14th-15th centuries when in the older farming communities the farmers āscratchedā the land using more primitive tools.
By the 18th-19th centuries, the use of the phrase gained uses beyond that of farming to include anyone who was barely making ends meet in their day to day struggle.
Jump ahead until today and the phrase applies to a broad spectrum of normally physically hard, low paying jobs or an unstable work life.
I grew up in an era when there were only a few government help agencies and can well remember my folks talking about people around them during the Depression and beyond who spent many years on community āpoor farmsā.
Poor farms were quite prevalent at one time in the US and folks who were unable to work due to age, disability or other factors were housed and fed in exchange for helping to produce food and maintain a farm. Local governments ran the farms as they were considered a cost-effective way to care for the needy rather than simply doling out monies to individuals.
It carried negative connotations for participants, particularly because they were labeled āinmates.ā
Poor farms gradually petered out by the middle of last century with many in Minnesota closing in the 1930s due to government programs starting up such as Social Security in 1935 and the growing prevalence of nursing homes.

The difference between the jogger and the photographer: The jogger is simply passing by without bothering to take a look at this view, but the photographer is standing here and admiring this sight with joy and amazement until the sun comes up :-)

Im SpƤtherbst fuhr ich bereits schon einmal diesen Weg durch ThĆ¼ringen. Es war damals ein trĆ¼ber Morgen. Heute war ich kurz vor dem Sonnenuntergang unterwegs...
ĆberwƤltigt vom Unterschied, den lediglich ein paar Sonnenstrahlen und ein imposanter Himmel machen kƶnnen, muss ich euch hier noch mal beide Bilder zeigen!
18th December 2020:
What a difference a day makes. Raining again and blowing a howler, so a quick photo out of the hall window of the December view.
Hadn't got the camera on the right settings, but then couldn't be bothered with a retake. Partly because as I'm also waiting for important news from my sister and don't want to be far from the laptop.
Today's Silly News it's : National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day - nationaldaycalendar.com/national-ugly-christmas-sweater-d...
I haven't even got a Christmas jumper, but the one Graham has is rather a good one.
Or : National Roast Suckling Pig Day - nationaldaycalendar.com/national-roast-suckling-pig-day-d...
Oh, if only, it sounds delicious.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
The same spot on the Eldred river with high water flows, shutter speeds of 1/20 and 1/640 of a second.
Just messing about with some filters on my phone, I was taken by how different this scene at Stoney Clouds looked with brighter colours and thought it would be interesting seeing them together!
Joey patrols around the house looking for intruding neighborhood cats, before declaring that all's safe and sound.
This is one of Joey's many photos which I had taken many years ago, but didn't get to upload to my Flickr account. šø

Let's put things in "Perspective"
We probably all think that itās a mess out there now. Hard to discern between whatās a real threat and what is just simple panic and hysteria.
For a small amount of perspective at this moment, imagine you were born in 1900. Many would think that that was a pretty simple time of life. Then on your 14th birthday, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday. 22 million people perish in that war, including many of your friends who volunteered to defend freedom in Europe.
Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until your 20th birthday. 50 million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
On your 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. If you were lucky, you had a job that paid $300 a year, a dollar a day.
When you turn 39, World War II starts. You arenāt even over the hill yet. And donāt try to catch your breath. If you lived in London England or most of continental Europe, bombing of your neighbourhood, or invasion of your country by foreign soldiers along with their tank and artillery was a daily event. Thousands of Canadian young men joined the army to defend liberty with their lives. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war.
At 50, the Korean War starts. 5 million perish.
At 55 the Vietnam War begins and doesnāt end for 20 years. 4 million people perish in that conflict.
On your 62nd birthday there is the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could have ended. Sensible leaders prevented that from happening.
Now, in 2020, we have the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands have died; it feels pretty dangerous; and it is!
Now think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? When you were a kid in 1965 and didnāt think your 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. And how mean that kid in your class was. Yet they survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing art. Refined as time goes on, and very very enlightening.
So letās try and keep things in perspective. Letās be smart, we are all in this together. Let's help each other out, and we will get through all of this.

Finally something practical and honest from the Head of the Infectious Disease Clinic, University of Maryland, USA: re.Covid19.
1. We may have to live with C19 for months or years. Let's not deny it or panic. Let's not make our lives useless. Let's learn to live with this fact.
2. You can't destroy C19 viruses that have penetrated cell walls, by drinking gallons of hot water - you'll just go to the bathroom more often.
3. Washing hands and maintaining a two-metre physical distance is the best method for your protection.
4. If you don't have a C19 patient at home, there's no need to disinfect the surfaces at your house.
5. Packaged cargo, gas pumps, shopping carts and ATMs do not cause infection. If you Wash your hands, live your life as usual.
6. C19 is not a food infection. It is associated with drops of infection like the āflu. There is no demonstrated risk that C19 is transmitted by food.
7. You can lose your sense of smell with a lot of allergies and viral infections. This is only a non-specific symptom of C19.
8. Once at home, you don't need to change your clothes urgently and go shower! Purity is a virtue, paranoia is not!
9. The C19 virus doesn't hang in the air for long. This is a respiratory droplet infection that requires close contact.
10. The air is clean, you can walk through the gardens (just keeping your physical protection distance, through parks.
11. It is sufficient to use normal soap against C19, not antibacterial soap. This is a virus, not a bacteria.
12. You don't have to worry about your food orders. But you can heat it all up in the microwave, if you wish.
13. The chances of bringing C19 home with your shoes is like being struck by lightning twice in a day. I've been working against viruses for 20 years - drop infections don't spread like that!
14. You can't be protected from the virus by taking vinegar, sugarcane juice and ginger! These are for immunity not a cure.
15. Wearing a mask for long periods interferes with your breathing and oxygen levels. Wear it only in crowds.
16. Wearing gloves is also a bad idea; the virus can accumulate into the glove and be easily transmitted if you touch your face. Better just to wash your hands regularly.
Immunity is greatly weakened by always staying in a sterile environment. Even if you eat immunity boosting foods, please go out of your house regularly to any park/beach.
Immunity is increased by EXPOSURE TO PATHOGENS, not by sitting at home and consuming fried/spicy/sugary food and aerated drinks.
Live life sensibly and to the fullest. Be smart and stay informed!
Graduated nd filter aligned vertically - interesting to see the difference a 3 stop filter makes to the sky.
Wat Saket, the Golden Mount temple, illuminated in festive lighting during a temple fair in November.
.
A few years ago I had been at this view point to shoot the sun setting behind the temple, but the decoration here was absolutely worth a re-visit. How do you think?
.
It's a fabulous view point, with many of the beautiful temple roofs peaking out from the dark; the Temple of the Emerald Buddha visible on the far left and even the top of the red Giant Swing is visible if you look closely. Warm wind on your nose, while shooting across the historic old town from a dark parking deck of a high rise hotel, just one of the awesome things to experience in this amazing city :)
.
From a process point of view i notice some banding in the sky, particularly on the mobile App; whereas it looks fine on my laptop and large display. Anyone notice the same difference?
.
*edit: after some trials on 12-Dec i added a Gaussian blur, then noise, and darkened the sky slightly with Color Balance and Contrast; all combined produces less banding on all device screens that i have on hand, hope it looks ok on your end.
.
happy Sunday and shooting friends!
