Well, on Saturday I was mostly on Havergate Island in Orford Ness, Suffolk....Where I managed to capture this guy munching away in the early evening sunshine....although to get this shot I had to crawl 200m on my belly with my backpack on my back, to get close enough to get a half decent shot! The hare must have thought I was a giant tortoise lol...either way, he was nonplussed enough to let me get to within 4 feet of him...which was nice.:)
Have a wonderful Thursday Ya'll..:)
Hare ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~
"Jackrabbit", "Lepus", and "Leveret" For other uses, see Hare (disambiguation), Jackrabbit (disambiguation), Lepus (disambiguation) and Leveret (disambiguation).
Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus. Hares are classified into the same family as rabbits and are of similar size, form, and diet as rabbits. They are generally herbivorous, long-eared, and fast runners, and typically live solitarily or in pairs. Hare species are native to Africa, Eurasia, North America, and the Japanese archipelago.
Five leporid species with "hare" in their common names are not considered true hares: the hispid hare (Caprolagus hispidus), and four species known as red rock hares (comprising Pronolagus). Meanwhile, jackrabbits are hares rather than rabbits.
A hare less than one year old is called a leveret. The collective noun for a group of hares is a "drove"
Biology ~ Hares are swift animals: The European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) can run up to 56 km/h (35 mph). The five species of jackrabbit found in central and western North America are able to run at 64 km/h (40 mph), and can leap up to 3m (ten feet) at a time.
Normally a shy animal, the European brown hare changes its behavior in spring, when hares can be seen in daytime chasing one another; this appears to be competition between males to attain dominance (and hence more access to breeding females). During this spring frenzy, hares can be seen "boxing"; one hare striking another with its paws (probably the origin of the term "mad as a March hare"). For a long time, this had been thought to be intermale competition, but closer observation has revealed it is usually a female hitting a male to prevent copulation.
Differences from rabbits ~ Hares do not bear their young below ground in a burrow as do other leporids, but rather in a shallow depression or flattened nest of grass called a form. Young hares are adapted to the lack of physical protection, relative to that afforded by a burrow, by being born fully furred and with eyes open. They are hence precocial, and are able to fend for themselves soon after birth. By contrast, the related rabbits and cottontail rabbits are altricial, having young that are born blind and hairless.
All rabbits (except the cottontail rabbits) live underground in burrows or warrens, while hares (and cottontail rabbits) live in simple nests above the ground, and usually do not live in groups. Hares are generally larger than rabbits, with longer ears, and have black markings on their fur. Hares have not been domesticated, while rabbits are kept as house pets. The domestic pet known as the "Belgian hare" is a rabbit that has been selectively bred to resemble a hare.
Hares have jointed, or kinetic, skulls, unique among mammals. They have 48 chromosomes while rabbits have 44.

Let's put things in "Perspective"
We probably all think that it’s a mess out there now. Hard to discern between what’s 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 aren’t even over the hill yet. And don’t 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 doesn’t 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 didn’t 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 let’s try and keep things in perspective. Let’s 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 ‘flu. 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!
Had to dig up some old photos and came across this one, NS 52A heads south at Green in some weak sunlight on 7/2/2010. Flash forward 7 years (has it really been that long?) and all 3 units are now on the NS roster and have received Crescent cabs. NS 8305 is the prototype for the failed D8.5 program and numbered 8500, 5972 is now NS 6963, the GoRail unit and 5957 is now NS 7001.
Caught this little guy in mid-jump in the backyard. He's staying very still so I can't see him. He's doing a very good job, don't ya think?
Some of you will remember me making this 3 ton excavator last year. A few weeks ago I called to see my friends at Clem Jacob Hire so I brought the bucket of the 90 ton excavator with me to show them the difference. It got a few laughs I can tell you. 😂
Young Wagtail. Part of my continuing series with birds on boats, every wildlife image I see is usually a bird on a stick or in what is considered to be the natural habitat of the bird, I have decided to do one with a difference, all the birds in this series are all shot on or about boats. The juxtaposition of nature and technology.
Don't really need to go into the details on this one. You know the train, you know the place.
I love a good "low and wide" shot with an elevator in the background. But as in the case here, they can be absolutely frustrating.
For starters, lenses distort the crap out of straight lines making them look curved. This can mostly be corrected in post. But what I can't figure out how to correct is the damn foreshortening. Lines closer to the camera look bigger than ones farther away. So in the end, either the headhouse will look like it's falling over or the locomotives will. I split the difference and hope no one notices.
Secondly, balancing the frame can be tricky. If the elevator isn't long enough, you're left with it dominating one side of the frame and bunch of empty space on the other. That is the big offender here (the gons on the head end certainty don't do any favors either). Best way to deal with this is to try and center the elevator in the frame as much as possible. Which maybe I would have done if I had more than 15 seconds. But this was a spray-and-pray operation. I should really be thankful I even got a usable frame.
One thing I gotta admit though is that it's really cool to see these 70s on their home turf almost 22 after the fact. This is something I want to last forever. But like everything good in this hobby, it's time will come...
without branch - this was kindly done by a fellow flickerite - who has photoshop - the magic wand of the photo world. It makes a difference don't you think?
All thanks to Greg fellow flickrite of GBurwash - he's the man with the photoshop - and the skill of course - Thanks Greg. Diolch

Last image of the old TB sanitarium.
Here’s a question:
Never mind the other big differences between this and the next image (color vs. mono, conventional vs. HDR processing, obscene graffiti visible vs. not) … what do you think of the perspective correction applied to the monochrome image?
No wrong answer, I’m just wondering if it looks realistic or if I went too far in an attempt to get my vertical lines parallel.
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 “scratching out a living” goes all the way back to the 14th-15th centuries when in the older farming communities the farmers “scratched” 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 “poor farms”.
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 “inmates.”
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.

These two images have been made in the evening at the same place and in the same minute using automatic camera settings, just looking into different directions.
What a difference!
The left one is looking eastwards with the sun to the Palace Pier, the right one westwards to the ruin of the West Pier against the sun.

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!

An edited version/playing with noise reduction ... Do you notice the difference with the previous photo IMG_4849.2021.2ab. Kestrel.
Constantly scanning, patiently waiting ... This one showed up unexpectedly in my backyard-resting on the clothes dryer ...
Kestrels have excellent vision, scanning for prey from a tree, a roadside wire or a power line. If no high perch is available, they will soar over fields in search of large insects, small mammals, birds or reptiles.
Once it has located its prey, a kestrel will fly over its intended meal and hover motionless in the air, perfecting the angle of attack before dropping like a stone to seize its target with one or both feet. They can even catch prey in flight.
The kestrel will feed where it kills, or may hide the kill in grass clumps, tree cavities or bushes for a leaner time. Because of their relatively diminutive size, kestrels themselves may end up as prey to larger raptors.
The Eurasian blackcap, usually known simply as the blackcap, is a common and widespread typical warbler. It has mainly olive-grey upperparts and pale grey underparts, and differences between the five subspecies are small. Both sexes have a neat coloured cap to the head, black in the male and reddish-brown in the female. The male's typical song is a rich musical warbling, often ending in a loud high-pitched crescendo, but a simpler song is given in some isolated areas, such as valleys in the Alps. The blackcap's closest relative is the garden warbler, which looks quite different but has a similar song.
The main differences with the previous version are:
- higher stiffness of the camera support
- Improvement of the positioning system
- acquisition stack sequence automated with Arduino
- whole process controlled by PC
To simplify the realization and considering that it is intended for a studio-system I have chosen to control everything from PC and not locally

Chapter 1. "Gamers" (read below)
The first kiss, first relationships, first quiet but at the same time loud - I love you.
We were so similar and yet so different.
We liked different food, we’re listening to different music, you were using Samsung and I couldn’t imagine my life without Apple.
I loved to travel and you were hardly leaving your house.
We lived in our own imaginary worlds. You were a pro gamer and I was a writer.
We were yin-yang, the beginning, and the end.
I learned how to make your favorite Kimbap and God help me, got the difference between Dota and Mobile Legends.
You switched from the gaming pc to the gaming laptop and finally went with me on our first trip.
We were so similar and yet so different. We loved different ice cream and different people. You loved me and I loved you.

This work is the first work that I have done in Photoshop but is done without a photo, just created from scratch
with colours.
After a number of attempts I eventually managed to get macro shots for comparison purposes of both the Small Red-eyed damselfly (top) and the Red-eyed damselfly (bottom). As you can see both are males, the Small Red-eyed has an additional blue segment on the end of its tail as well as more blue colouration on the underside of the first tail segments. The eyes are also a much deeper red in the Red-eyed damselfly whereas the small red-eyed are more brownish in colour. Obviously there is also a difference in size but this isn't easy to see in the field. Hopefully this is useful.
