I have tried to delay the frosts, I have coaxed the fading flowers, I thought I could detain a few of the crimson leaves until you had smiled upon them; but their companions call them, and they cannot stay away.

Taken in the neighbour's yard with vintage Oreston 50mm lens and 12mm Kenko extension tube.
No matter where I have lived, I have always gravitated to the birds of prey ... the raptors. To me, there's something fascinating about their beaks, their wings, the look of concentration and determination, but mainly their talons. When a raptor flies over me, especially when they bank and show off their underside, or topside, of their body, it's so cool. Red-tailed hawks are the most variable of all of the buteos, depending on where they are found and also their color morphs. Of course, don't forget how their feather patterns change as they molt. It really makes a challenge for species specific ID.
I could raptor all day long and be happy ... we get all sorts of raptors visiting us throughout the winter and some visit during the summer.
This red-tailed hawk flew over me at a relatively close range (though this image is most likely cropped some for balance). The extended wingspan was amazing to view, with every feather serving a purpose. Love these raptors.
Happy Monday!

This one was really little, about one centimetre high and less than a centimetre across, and really made me smile. Stacked up all the extension tubes.... oh dear I think I want a macro lens....still.. again.. still... such a terrible affliction, is camera gear lust.
Fascinating concertina extension service cables for one side of a moveable pair of buildings (on tracks) that services airplane wings. The top one for compressed air is broken, while the bottom one for electricity is intact.

Candid eye contact street photography from Barnsley, England. Carrying a box of human hair extensions, it looks to me like she is the 'wig shop' store owner from up the alleyway. Enjoy!

Here we see a Route 215 pass it's usual terminus (a Route 379 is just entering the stand), and head the few hundred meters outside London into Essex for the seasonal extension to Lea Valley Campsite. The back of the Essex boundary sign can just be seen on the far left.
It's a rotten journey on foot as the pavements end, and it is a set of bends with ditches and little room for walking on a very busy road.

For Macro Mondays
Theme: Knob
Didden Village
A Roof extension project called Didden village in Rotterdam designed by architecture firm MVRDV. The blue volumes have an archetypical house shape and contain the bedrooms of the house each with their own staircase from the living room below. The space in between is a roof terrace with built-in flower pots, a table, bench and open-air shower.

Decided that I liked the wide crop better for this photo. I usually do 8x10 crops for instagram, but I really dislike the way a lot of them turn out. Especially since I usually compose my photos in camera at full frame (3x2) anyway.
This picture was taken in Oakwood, Ohio at Smith Gardens with my 180mm lens + 36mm Extension tube. Better view in Light box. Click on image for 100% detail on organs.
As always thank you for your lovely comments.

Looking forward to the completion of the Tate Modern Extension by Herzog & de Meuron. Hopefully I'll have a full-frame camera by then to capture it in it's full glory!
Lucky enough to be able to spend some time in Muir Woods in Norcal, and had a roll of TMAX100 with me as well as the Rolleiflex 3.5F. As noted before, it might not be the best speed given the degree of cover, but went in the afternoon this time so was hopeful. I very much like the combination of TMAX wit Rodinal semistand, particularly in these types of mixed light situations. Lots of tonality can be appreciated, and it gave me a bit more flexibility knowing that I'd be developing with a semistand approach. Thanks again to the fantastic flickerans who continue to inspire. It really helps the rest of us be more observant!
macro monday theme: broken
The broken shell of a sea urchin (probably Psammechinus miliaris). Size of this piece is about 2cm.
50mm Nikkor with 12mm extension tube.
Walking around the Boulder Beach area looking for other compositions in the early morning sunlight. Using the patterns and shadows extending into the scene as leading lines. Normall, I'm not a fan of clear skies, but the blue against the oranges works well in this case. Acadia National Park, Maine, USA, October 2018
