This little figure reminded me of George Michael so in honour of him I've named it after one of his songs. :)
Double-crested Cormorants are fast flyers and I'm usually lousy at capturing fast flyers. However, I had a bit of luck with this one as it flew by in Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, Utah.
But even with 1/1250 shutter speed, there's still a bit of wing motion blur. Yep, that's a fast flyer.
Another installment from our recent three-state journey.
Fast mein Zielfoto. Ich wollte immer mal eine Mühle am Wasser fotgrafieren und hier bei Alkmaar hatte ich dann die Möglichkeit.
I'm still on a quest to catch one of these little welcome swallows at the moment it dips into the water. I'm slowly getting closer! I still haven't figured out whether they are just having a quick dip to bathe or are just grabbing a very quick drink. Either way, it is very entertaining to sit and watch them.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
Milky Way @ Stonehenge, Wiltshire UK
Well I've been a bit frustrated wrt the Milky Way core this year as when it's visible around 3am or so unless it's at a weekend I just can't shoot it as I wreck myself for work and weekends have been pretty crap so far.
I got myself a second hand fast prime lens through mpb earlier in the year and have been wanting to try it out for astro.
More recently the MWC has been 'visible' just after midnight but again far too many clouds most nights. However, the other night there was a forecast for skies to be clearing around midnight so I took a chance but wanted somewhere not to far away so despite the known light pollution I set off on the 35min drive to Stonehenge.
Experimented with f/1.4-f/2 shots and 2-2.5min exposures using the Move-Shoot-Move star tracker I have.
I can't say I think this is a great image and I'll try to convince myself it's more to do with the light pollution (I wish Salisbury's street lights went off at 10pm!) than my lack of shooting/editing skills. However I thought I'd post it just as a bit of a record of my first attempt with the Sigma 20mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens. 14mm would have been better but I'll cross my fingers canon will eventually see sense and let Sigma produce RF compatible glass.
For the record - the image is a composite of a 150s exposure at f/2 ISO100 for the sky and 30s f/4 ISO1600 for Stonehenge.
I'm planning on taking this lens to Iceland in October so wish me luck seeing and shooting the Northern Lights during the few nights I'm there on a Workshop.
Thanks for viewing and have a good weekend everyone..

A few months ago I was walking in a forest near the Naarderlake when I heard a lot of rustling going on around me. And then suddenly I saw a large group of bank voles running around, the first time that I ever saw that sort of spectacle.
But goodness how fast they were and how unpredictable. They popped up everywhere, but also they hid under leaves, went into little holes in the ground, and came up in a completely different place.
I felt like a predator not knowing were to look or on what animal to focus so most of the shots I took were awful. This is the only shot that more or less is acceptable. But what a treat it was to observe them!
Einen ordentlichen Freischnitt würde dem Motiv wahrscheinlich guttun, allerdings geht es so ja auch. Nur um die Stelle zu erreichen, muss man sich durch das Unterholz quälen. Das taten wir für 232 609, welche mit dem EZ 51617 durch das Pegnitztal kam. Hier überfährt sie gerade die Pegnitz, um Sekunden später in den Vogelherdtunnel einzufahren. Im Hintergrund die idyllische Ortschafft Enzendorf.
Within seconds, the density of fog changed at this point, allowing for a variety of different photo opportunities.
Innerhalb von Sekunden veränderte sich an dieser Stelle die Nebeldichte, was eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Fotomotiven ermöglichte.
Taken at around 4.30 in the afternoon as the sun was getting lower in the sky at a fast flowing section of the River Tummel near Pitlochry.
I used a HiTech Firecrest ND 3.0 and am happy with the neutrality, I didn't have to make any adjustments during post processing.

The Graphosoma lineatum is a stink bug that quirts an irritant to birds who decide to aim its way for a snack. Blackbirds try to peck and swallow at such a speed that the bug has no time to squirt. It might be nice to imagine that the beautiful and varied songs of blackbirds are also due to their agile minds.

My impressions are the Heritage 1 paint scheme is well suited to the nose, cab, and hood of EMD's SD40-2 model, especially from this perspective.
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
