Would like to hear your feedback:)

A common resident Owlet found in the forest areas in the country. They can be often heard in the forests calling especially mornings and evenings, but they are active throughout the day. The birds are quite predatory in the night and hence the calls attract a variety of birds that gang up and chase the owlets away.

That morning, we heard constant calls of these Owlets - 3 - 4 of them at the same time and sighted 2 of them. That brought out Bulbuls, babblers, Drongoes, Rose Ringed Parakeets and few other birds all of which searched for the Owlets and chased them away from several trees. The Owlets moved several times and sat quietly in some trees - often close to us, but they did it with such stealth that 3 of us didn't see them coming or going.

This is nearing end of Spring here, but there were still several bare trees that the owlets could find some space on. The trees with canopy and fruit support several nesting birds and the summer breeding season is starting - no wonder the Owlets are so unwelcome.

Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

This is now one of my favorite birds - I love yellows and the birds look fabulous and beautiful. They are small social birds found in large flocks of 10-15 whenever we sight them. They are widely distributed in the Himalayan region and easily found in bushy areas.

The birds are quite vary of the larger Magpies, Thrushes and of course the treepies. So they immediately scoot whenever those larger birds appear anywhere near them. The Magpies - very large birds and extremely aggressive - are very beautiful - but they are total spoilsports!

Kleiner Feuerfalter (Lycaena Phaeas)

Lycaena phlaeas, the small copper, American copper, or common copper, is a butterfly of the Lycaenids or gossamer-winged butterfly family. According to Guppy and Shepard (2001), its specific name phlaeas is said to be derived either from the Greek phlego, "to burn up" or from the Latin floreo, "to flourish".

The biggest Kingfisher found in South India and probably the 2nd biggest in the country. A resident bird of the subcontinent and found in a variety of forest / thick woody areas adjacent to lakes, small rivers and possibly coastal areas.

This was a resident in the area we visited and there are maybe 2-3 of them in that area. We sighted only one of them which already started its hunt for the day. The bird feeds on fish, frogs, crabs, rodents and even small young birds. It didn't spend much time and within a few minutes left for the other side of the forest.

Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

An incredibly beautiful woodpecker that is found in the Himalayan forests and maybe a few other pockets in the country. It has a rich yellow and green mixed color which I found to be spectacular. The bird is also quite large compared to many other woodpeckers I have seen. The behaviours are similar to the others, but then these birds do come to the ground. We have sighted them foraging on the lower canopies and sometimes middle canopy unlike a few which are exclusive to the higher canopy.

There is another Lesser Yellownape as well which I was fortunate enough to sight and shoot. Both are amazingly beautiful! The differences are clear, but both share the same color and feather patterns except for a patch of red for the Lesser Yellownape on the crown.

Many thanks in advance for the faves and feedback.

Sunny winter Sundays, there are no boats at the jetties of the Tutzing Yacht club, still to early.

The only boats on the lake Starnberg are rowing boots from the rowing club around the lake.

Museumsschiff Tutzing to the left is not used for boating anymore it's stationary.

A common resident Owlet found in forests across the country. They can be often heard during morning / evenings in the forests, but they are kind of active during the day too. The birds are quite predatory in the night and hence the calls attract a variety of birds that gang up and chase the owlets away.

Last winter we explored a new location in the forest - one that had an old temple surrounded by thick trees and streams. And there was a water tower that stands at the height of the trees in the forest. So we climbed up, found it looking back at us.

The Owlet moved several times and sat quietly in some trees - often close to us, but they move so stealthily that we couldn't trace them. But thanks to the Bulbuls and other small birds that were continually harassing these owlets, we sighted them again and again.

An endemic bird of South Asia, found only in the forests of the western coast of India and Sri Lanka. These are small birds, just about the size of a Sunbird about 13 cms long, though much heftier.

This is a lifer for me and after seeing the pictures I was expecting a much larger bird. It took me a couple of times to get a decent view of the bird which forages deep in the bush. The forest was thick and in many places covered by lots of shadows. And there we sighted this bird - inside the thick bush expertly navigating amongst the branches and picking up insects and tree spiders.

The birds - just like other babblers - are a bit noisy and so it wasn't hard to figure the area they were active in, but it was quite challenging to sight the bird in the bush.

They are social birds and hence sighted in parties - we found large parties - more than half a dozen everytime.

A resident bird in the subcontinent found throughout the year in grasslands and open countryside with brown grass. The bird prefers red soil / sandy areas and camouflages itself so well that its tough to sight many times. Often we see it taking off suddenly right from underneath our feet - and its a very fast flier.

These are insectivores and the size of a rock pigeon always found in flocks of 5-6 and more - sometimes 30-40 as well. Sightings are always prized by birds and photographers.

On this day, we found more than 5 families including several chicks and couple of nests / eggs in the grasslands. They hid openly in grass near a pile of brown rocks. The birds will just sit down in the brown grass and will blend so well with their naturally camouflaged pattern. Add to that, these birds are very challenging to shoot in flight due to their high speed.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

Based on some feedback and my warped sense of mind, here is my version of my Oculus capture taken on the coast of Oregon, and combining it with one of my captures there at Crater Lake (technically all happened in Oregon, therefore it stays in Oregon ..)

Took the image posted below and converted to B&W, then applied a small amount of warming tint to simulate the full moon light spilling over the scene, and then took the night sky from Crater Lake and made that into the sky through the rock openings.

Thoughts ... if someone lives out there, this could be a fun capture to try for real, but need some moonlight, stars, and low tide!!!! all to happen at the same time ... with clear skies.

A soft glow of the morning Sun warms the waters of Lake Cumberland. Just a short drive from where I live, Lake Cumberland always has something special to offer. Thanks for your visit and feedback.

So as I expected, working with shelter dogs to set up a flash and having a dog stay in a good position relative to the flash is a challenge. In the time it takes to get one or two good shots using the flash, I can bang off a number of dogs without the flash and using a fast lens.

What do you think? Is it worth the effort with flash as compared to not using flash?

Good, honest feedback much appreciated!!

Also known as the White-Footed Fox, this fox is mostly found in desert and dry areas, sand hills, semi-dry rivers exclusively in the States of Gujarat and Rajasthan, though it is also found in Pakistan, parts of Iran and Iraq. This is one of the 3 types of Foxes found in the country - this one is exclusive to a small range in the western part of the country.

We found it near a small village hunting the desert rodents called Jerbills. The fox was waiting for some of them to come out of their burrows, but we didn't see anything come out or see him catching one. And it was during sunset and the light was low for photography.

During the next few days of the trip, we sighted this animal several times in the desert, but never managed a shot. This is different from the more commonly found Indian Fox, that it has a longer tail with a dark brown / blackish tip compared to the Indian fox whose tail has a white tip. The fox hunts in the desert late in evenings and nights on Sand rats, quails, maybe harriers (not certain) and other small birds and reptiles.

Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

Been a while since I posted anything over here but finally something worthy of posting. It has taken me a couple of months to build and I tried some more complex landscaping techniques throughout. It had to include a probe droid for the Factions Episode so I made two designs, the smaller on the right and the larger on the left. There is an interior round the back with caves.

As ever, feedback is appreciated!

I know Barn Owls screech and it's the Tawny owl that Twit twoo's but it was the only title I could think of LOL

I put up a Barn Owl nesting box in a big Oak tree not 100 yards behind my house. Last year I had success and Mum and Dad fledged three young. These are two young Barn owls (you can tell by the last bit of fluff on the tummy, not taken from behind my house, but not to far away at all.

I went across the field last night and saw a Barn Owl on the front of my box, the first of this year !!!!!!

I very rarely put the 2x extender on the 600mm, but I was super impressed with the quality...... Note to self, do it more often !!

Thanks to everyone that gave their opinion on my Bluebell image (positive or negative) I really appreciated the feedback xx

From now on I will try to improve my technical skills, so any feedback/ advice is more than welcome :)

Thanks to everyone for visits , comments , awards and invitations, I appreciate your feedback very much

Resident birds of the subcontinent with croaky voice and an undulating flight pattern. These are easy to sight due to their bright yellow plumage and size. This place had more than half of dozen of them. Morning time, they come close to the ground in this area looking to forage on the lower branches of the trees or in the bush.

There was small pond the size of a swimming pool below and the birds were skimming the surface, grabbing some water and getting back on the branch. I didnt try that shot since I was quite close and was too hard on the 500 mm.

Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

Last weekend saw the annual Pirate Weekend on Plymouth Barbican. It's a fun event, with loads of people dressed up as pirates, shows and music. Unfortunately, I was at work for all of it, but on Sunday morning I got up for sunrise and headed down to get a couple of shots of the two tall ships that were berthed alongside.

It's always nice to see these ships in The Barbican, it's like it's been transformed to how it looked hundreds of years ago when this sort of scene was just another normal day.

This is The Grayhound, the first lugger to be built in over 200 years, it's a fine ship and was built between 2010-2012 in Millbrook, Cornwall.

With clear sky, the sunrise itself was a bit of a letdown but I still came away with a couple of shots of the gorgeous ships.

Got for Christmas 24 color pencils from Faber-Castell. But not for arts, decoration or coloring, nor for painting. The intention, inspired by some other photos do create some nice macros.

This photo was created for the Flickr group Macro Mondays, the theme is New, something that is new for me or represents hope for the new year.

Can’t say Macro photography is new for me, at the moment I own 3 Macro lenses, on from Canon a 100 mm, one from Tamron a 180 mm and the newest one from Fuji a 80 mm. However buying pencil for the purpose of photographing them is new, even better the were a gift. So, I am full of hope and looking forward to create some nice macros and other photos with the new pencils

For starters a series of 3 photos mostly of different shades of red and blue and one BW. Back. As underground some kitchens cutting board or chopping board to get some more texture. Light is simple, sun and for getting less dark shadows a mirror behind. Or even double shadows from the sun and the mirror.

Based on the ideas from my nice contacts here I did a little tree trimming post capture ;)

Thanks again for the feedback!

(Original commentary with the post "Kick Myself ...")

Here when I compsed this with the 10mm and the ND filters, I should have pulled the filter off and comfirmed if I had got the whole tree in the frame (with the ND filters on you cannot see through the eyepiece). I composed this one eyeballing next to the camera. Usually I can get these pretty good, but in this case missed it.

Shame, beacuse I really liked the cloud colors, the streaming, the foreground elements, and that tall tree. By the time this shot was done, the lighting in the clouds was over ... a missed opportunity ...

Another one from my recent trip to Maine... A clear day...no drama in sky.
