These live on trees and sleep under the bark so what it was doing in Camerahouse Foto Supplies yesterday remains a mystery. It was caught by a photographer and bought to me in a little film canister with little breathing hole in top...
These get pretty big for an Aussie Jumper and also when they move they seemingly have 1 gear R and I think R is for race mode!!
They are a pretty challenging one to Photograph sometimes.
I asked it why it did not bring me the Om1 mkii but at the time of posting this I am still waiting for a response.
I made this hand held stack using my Diffuser.
I left WB as is and did not tweak color in any way.
The editing is minimal
There is no removing of concentrated light in the catch lights in Adobe PS.
Happy with the new version of CJ diffuser. It is not as tall and not as long. I have learned a lot while developing it. The final diffusion system is 1 panel but it is a 3 stage layer thickness to make sure it is cutting light more where the brightest part is to make it as even as I can across the frame without sacrificing output from the flash. Hey I want my battery to last as long as possible (longer shooting) and I dont want to melt my flash either.
Since a macro diffuser is a direct system ( I love indirect studio softboxes ) a lot of diffusers have hotspots to some degree.
Not CJ Diffuser V2.
To my knowledge the stuff (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)I have used is not being used by anyone else. It is very strong , heat and cold resistant and also chemical and uv resistant.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_sandpiper
The marsh sandpiper (Tringa stagnatilis) is a small wader. It is a rather small shank, and breeds in open grassy steppe and taiga wetlands from easternmost Europe to central Asia. The genus name Tringa is the New Latin name given to the green sandpiper by Aldrovandus in 1599 based on Ancient Greek trungas, a thrush-sized, white-rumped, tail-bobbing wading bird mentioned by Aristotle. The specific stagnatilis is from Latin stagnum, "swamp".
Description
It resembles a small elegant greenshank, with a long fine bill and very long yellowish legs. Like the greenshank, it is greyish brown in breeding plumage, paler in winter, and has a white wedge up its back that is visible in flight. However, it is more closely related to the common redshank and the wood sandpiper.[3] Together, they form a group of smallish shanks which tend to have red or reddish legs, and in breeding plumage are generally a subdued, light brown above with some darker mottling, with a pattern of somewhat diffuse small brownish spots on the breast and neck. The length is 22–26 cm (8.7–10.2 in), wingspan is 55–59 cm (22–23 in) and weight is 45–120 g (1.6–4.2 oz)
Distribution
It is a migratory species, with majority of birds wintering in Africa, and India with fewer migrating to Southeast Asia and Australia. They prefer to winter on fresh water wetlands such as swamps and lakes and are usually seen singly or in small groups.
These birds forage by probing in shallow water or on wet mud. They mainly eat insects, and similar small prey.
The marsh sandpiper is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
As the wildfire smoke slowly crept into the valley at Moraine Lake a couple of weeks into the summer of Armageddon, it diffused the light from the setting sun, creating very soft, atmospheric light.
This spot on the lake is about the only quiet place you'll find.
The rock pile is now the arena for wedding photographers and ‘Rinsedagrammers’ all jostling for position.
The one benefit of such busy crowds is the perfectly placed canoe that you can see paddling off into the reflection.
As always, I had to exposure bracket in order to capture all of the highlights and shadow detail in this high contrast scene.
I also had to focus stack the rock in the foreground as I was so close to the lens that it began to blur.
As I was making this image, I noticed one very brave paddle boarder out on the lake that day. While invitingly beautiful, I wouldn't want to fall in to that ice cold water.
Thanks for reading

Diffusely spreading, half-woody herb, with branched stems up to 1 meter long, sparingly prickly with numerous deflexed, bristly hairs. The leaves are very sensitive, both pinnae and leaflets, folding when touched. The leaflets are narrowly oblong, inequilateral, 1 to 1.5 cm long, sessile, with pointed tips. Heads are long-peduncled, solitary or 2 to 3 in each axil, about 1 cm diameter. Pods are flat, 1 to 2 cm long, with 3 to 4 one-sided joints that fall away on maturity. Florets are red in the upper part with pink to lavender filaments.

Studies
• Antimicrobial: Study showed antimicrobial activity against Aspergillus fumigatus, Citrobacter divergens and Klebsiella pneumonia.
• Anticonvulsant: Study showed intraperitoneal use of Mimosa pudica decoction protected mice against pentylentetrazol and strychnine-induced seizures.
• Plant extracts showed the plant to be a moderate diuretic, depresses duodenal contractions (similar to atrophine), promotes nerve regeneration and reduce menorrhagia.
• Also shown to have antidepressant activity.
• Wound Healing: Study of the methanolic extract exhibited good wound healing activity, an effect attributable to phenol constituents.
• Strong emetic effect of extracts attributed to mimosine.
• Antifertility Studies: Studies on the root extract of M. pudica showed antifertility effect with prolongation of the estrous cycle and disturbance of the secretion of gonadotropin hormones in albino mice.
• Antitoxin / Antivenom Studies: (1) A study in India screened several herbal plants for antivenin activity against common sea snake venom Enhydrina schistosa, the most toxic among the common sea snakes. The investigation showed antivenom activiety in the alcoholic extract of Mimosa pudica, Mucuna pruriens, and Andrographis paniculata. (2) Study on the aqueous extract of dried roots of Mimosa pudica showed significant inhibitory effect on Naja naja and Bangarus caerulus venoms. (3) Of 17 plants screened, only M pudica showed 100% ability in neuralizing venom lethality. Study showed the potential use of M pudica as an antivenom agent of plant origin against five poisonous snake venoms found in Malaysia.
• Two new C-glycosylflavones from Mimosa pudica: Two new C-glycosylflavones were isolated from the whole plant of Mimosa pudica, and their structures were determined as 6,7,3?,4?-tetrahydroxyl-8-C-[?-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 ? 2)]-?-d-glucopyranosyl flavone (1), 5,7,3?,4?-tetrahydroxy-8-C[?-d-apiose-(1 ? 4)]-?-d-glycopyranosyl flavone (2).
• Chromoblastomycosis: Study isolated Fonsecaea from the thorns of M pudica and suggests it could be a natural source of infection for the fungus Fonsecaea pedrosoi.
• Seed Mucilage / Sustained-Release Excipient: Study showed the dissolution profile from formulation containing mucilage to drug in the proportion of 1:40 was found to be similar to the commercial sustained-release formulation of diclofenac.
• Anti-Depressant: Study suggests that M pudica produces antidepressant effect in rats with a profile similar to two tricyclic antidepressants.
• Anti-Malarial: Mimosine found to be an iron chelator acting on malarial bugs by preventing the replication of cells.
• Apoptotic: Mimosine also causes apoptosis and studied for treating ovarian cancer and other highly vascularized tumors.
• Anthelmintic: The Anthelmintic effect of Makahiya (Mimosa pudica) leaves Extract in Native Chicken (Gallus domesticus) naturally infected with Gastro-intestinal Parasites (Thesis)
• Anti-Hepatotoxic / Antioxidant: Study showed the co-administration of Mimosa pudica aqueous extract significantly lowered the level of lipid peroxidation in alcohol-fed mice.
• Anti-Hyperglycemic: Mimosa pudica is one of eight medicinal plants in an Ayuvedic herbal formulation, Ilogen-Excel, showing antihyperglycemic effect in STZ-induced diabetic rats.
• Nerve-Regenerative: Study showed Mimosa pudica extract possess nerve-regenerative potential in rats with sciatic nerve injury.
Is that its "tongue" sticking out? Incredible, IMHO! Yard macro. The cosmos flowers are pretty much the last flowers still blooming...

As another wonderful day of hiking and enjoying the outdoors, trails, colors, and waterfalls approached its end it was time to enjoy another famous feature of the Shenandoah National Park. All along Skyline Drive one can get beautiful distant views both to the east and west. That makes the park great for both early morning sunrise visits as well as late sunsets after other park activities ... #etbtsy
We pulled over to one of the many pullouts along Skyline Drive that offered a nice distant view as well as plenty of foreground colors. I thoroughly enjoyed the clouds and light that nature had in store this evening. Unlike a featureless blue sky would have the clouds and haze darkened the background, diffused the light, and created shafts of light illuminating the land below. All of that combined helped the colors stand out boldly, whether the yellow ...

A bit of mixture of light through the day with light cloud and mist coming and going. What it did give me was some nice diffused light at times to go with the harsh sunlight.
Welriekende nachtorchis
Toch maar opvallend weinig nachtorchissen tegen gekomen tijdens onze reis naar Zuid Frankrijk. We waren voor deze soort dat ook wel aan de vroege kant. Alle bloeiende planten die we tegen kwamen waren van de welriekende nachtorchis.

Captured this little globby this afternoon on a leaf in my back garden.
I have also attached some photos taken throughout 2013 that I have not posted previously as they are shots that for one reason or another just didn't do it for me ( I think I'm possibly too critical of my own shots).
This is officially my last post for 2013 , I wish you all and your families a very happy and prosperous new year.
Looking forward to many more shots in 2014.... bring on the bugs!
