NB. No human that I could see frightened these Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa) to take flight. Just skittish.
Basically as shot in RAW with no curves or vibrancy or saturation. Some slight effort to reduce noise from ISO 5000. Should I try to enhance?
Thanks for looking!
Perhaps I should make an album of outtakes someday.
My first attempt at photo-stacking, 7 shots taken randomnly at different focus points , Raw images processed in Lightroom, jpgs exported and combined in Photoshop. Any advice offered to improve on this will be appreciated.
I have since acquired a Velbon super mag slider rail so the next time I'll move the camera instead of adjusting the lens but I still see a weak link in the processing of the images from L/R to PS. None of the articles I've seen go into much detail perhaps because they assume that everybody knows the intricasies of PS.
Smile on Saturday: FEATHERS
Diese Feder brachte mir mein Sohn aus dem Urlaub mit. Was ich bis jetzt nicht wusste, es ist eine Zauberfeder !! 😜
My son brought me this feather from his holiday. What I didn't know until now, it is a magic feather !! 😜
Something a little unusual., a feather in calm water made for a nice photo opportunity., but it became an irresistible photo opportunity when our special guest star Damselfly dropped in and decided to go surfing on it!
The little guy actually turned out to be pretty good on his improvised surf board., that was until another Damsel came along and knocked him off!
it sends my eyes a bit fuzzy too, but after taking this at various apertures I got fascinated by the tiny details of the feather touching the glass...so I kept it fuzzy :)
This great blue heron had just shook its feathers before I took this shot...caught him looking pretty disheveled ;-)
It's that time of year again. Great Egrets are pairing up and making nests. They are really beautiful to watch.
My favourite Albatross feather, I found it on my beach. It's beautiful, it makes me happy and it didn't cost a thing.
Sabellidae, or feather duster worms, are a family of marine polychaete tube worms characterized by protruding feathery branchiae. Sabellids build tubes out of a tough, parchment-like exudate, strengthened with sand and bits of shell. Unlike the other sabellids, the genus Glomerula secretes a tube of calcium carbonate instead. Sabellidae can be found in subtidal habitats around the world. Their oldest fossils are known from the Early Jurassic. Feather-duster worms have a crown of feeding appendages or radioles in two fan-shaped clusters projecting from their tubes when under water. Each radiole has paired side branches making a two-edged comb for filter feeding. Most species have a narrow collar below the head. The body segments are smooth and lack parapodia. The usually eight thoracic segments bear capillaries dorsally and hooked chaetae (bristles) ventrally. The abdominal segments are similar, but with the position of the capillaries and chaetae reversed. The posterior few abdominal segments may form a spoon-shaped hollow on the ventral side. Size varies between tiny and over 10 cm (2.5 in) long. Some small species can bend over and extend their tentacles to the sea floor to collect detritus. (Wikipedia) Mabini, South Luzon, Philippines.

Sulphur-crested Cockatoo's down feather left on yellow Grevillea flowers
Both Australian native
Very large as a down feather, so I think this is a cockatoo's feather.
*this is not macro
This feather was stuck on a branch - I took a close up and inverted the image (something along those lines - still figuring out what I can do in photoshop - should really read the manual but it's more fun this way...)
Macro Mondays - Ridge
Image measures 2 1/2" on the long side.
This is my favorite hair barrette, a little tarnished but still pretty. The entire feather is just over 4" long.
Happy Macro Monday!
“Black-headed Grosbeak parents fly south with worn feathers after breeding season. Their molting locations had been a mystery. The California scientists solved it with relatively inexpensive Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving devices.
They attached the 1-gm electronic devices to a leg of each grosbeak. The devices wake up every 2-6 weeks, record the GPS position and switch off. The GPS device, leg harness and leg bands weigh less than 2 g, or the equivalent of a long-distance runner carrying a laptop in a backpack. Each bird must be recaptured to download the data.” Topbirdingtours.com
Growing up in Stratford Ontario, the annual high school football match-up between the 2 schools in town was known as the Red Feather football game (for reasons I never quite knew). In honour of that on this Superbowl Sunday, I've posted this image taken this past week of this red feathered Cardinal.
Best of luck to Chiefs and 49's today and looking forward to an entertaining game!!
