I got a firmware update the other day and have been practicing with it. The update was for eye tracking to make it faster to detect and focus. The trick is to NOT watch the square and to JUST watch your subject to keep it in frame. I thought a black dark subject like my Boy here would be a good test. What do you think?
With the new firmware upgrade 5.31 for the Nikon Z9, I am trying the 3D AF-area mode with the Bird subject selection in the menu. The camera selectively maintains focus on the eagle's eyes. The photos were quite sharp with a higher keeper rate. I am off to Newfoundland in June in a workshop to photograph the Puffins, Gannets, and other seabirds so need lots of BIF (Bird in Flight) practice.

I believe (from comments on my last train photo) that this is a DSB Class ME No.1526 train. Was taken in the old train area in south Copenhagen. The tower in the background is the Bohrs TÃ¥rn in Carlsberg Byen.

I dug out my old Pentax *ist-DS from 2005 and got it running. It seems so simple now compared to my newer camera bodies but it still takes a great picture even though is it only 6.1 megapixels. I was even able to update the firmware from 2006 which I had never done because by that time I had purchased my Pentax K10D. This *ist-DS has only 5300 activations on it so it still has a lot of use. This lens is a Auto Takumar 85mm f/1.8 vintage lens and is a favorite.
Jpeg, straight out of camera. No edits. New Canon R5 firmware update. Combines 9 45mp images for one photo. Processed in camera using pixel shift with IBIS.

Agelaius phoeniceus.
First time use of the new OMD firmware upgrade: Autofocus subject, "Birds". The software latches on to one or more birds, and the white rectangle in the viewfinder turns green when the bird(s) is(are) in focus. The claim is that it can focus on up to 8 birds in a frame.
On a succulent flower.
I wanted to focus stack these flowers, but my camera would not cooperate :-( Need to check for a firmware update.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Although this wasn't technically the last weekend of this summer, for all intents and purposes, the summer ended this weekend - once again, kids started going to their schools, work life is back on the usual schedule, no more summer mode. Oh well, at least I went to Rijeka, and finally, after a few years, managed to catch some time in the city centre.
Here, Rijeka's port, anchored boats and port's heavy cranes.
Taken with Canon PowerShot SX150 IS digital compact camera, with its image-stabilized 5-60mm F3.4-5.6 lens, running CHDK firmware to enable new features. That's a 28-336mm lens, here at 71 mm, equivalent.
✨ Thank you all for pushing this photo into Explore at #221 at one point in time. Yay!
Completely did a reconfiguration on my PC ASUS Z390 Motherboard and by updating the motherboard BIOS firmware that is by flashing the BIOS up to the latest firmware, with no problems at all and which I have done so many over the years.
Plus, one good thing about ASUS Motherboards, is they are easy to flash the Bios using their EZ Flash 3 utility that is built into their boards and by using a flash drive to update the Bios with the latest firmware cap file. Which I got all the latest Drives for my ASUS Z390 Motherboard, from the ASUS Website.
This new update has set my Motherboard to allow the TPM chip and Trusted Platform Module 2.0 to be active for making Secure boot for the bootup drive for Windows 10 or 11. So I have configured the Motherboard "CSM" Mode for Boot device Control for UEFI and Legacy OPROM UEFI: which allows your computer to start in "LEGACY BIOS" mode and in "UEFI" mode. And the Boot\Secure Book Option for UEFI Only, to allow a Secure Book in.
UEFI mode is recommended for newer PCs that support it, as it offers advantages and compatibility. Nevertheless, there are scenarios where legacy BIOS mode may be more suitable, for example, if you have an older PC that does not support UEFI or if you wish to use a dual-boot or multi-boot system with different operating systems that may not work well with UEFI and also, some UEFI drivers will not support every kind of hardware that you add onto your PC.
Well, at least now I am happy to say that I have sorted out all my problems and running back up again on Windows 10. And now with all the new updates, I am getting from Microsoft, which is no surprise to me and say:
Great news—your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11.
Windows 11, version 23H2 is ready - and it's free!
Wow!
My ASUS Motherboard is nearly 4 years old and will support Windows 11.
But do ask myself do I want headaches with all the problems that I keep hearing from those who are running on Windows 11 and even I know some are having problems on Mac desktop PCs too?
As young Brother informed me, has he been an IT engineer for some years now.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! how sadly do I miss Windows XP, which I still think was the best operating system for desktop PC users, that Microsoft ever made to this date!
Just a fun photo as I try out some of the new Firmware features for the Z8 released yesterday. This was the Focus Limiter, which for some lenses can be an issue with focus hunting. The lens has been quick to focus and track on the Z9, not bad on the Z8. With this new feature, it's on par with the Z9. However, the Z8 will not be my go to body for birds.
Quick grab shot in Derby Market Place … I used the Leica photostyle that was included in the last firmware update for the #LumixS5M2, other than the crop this is SOOC. Apologies for the awful pun

I updated the firmware on the Sigma Sports and changed my Af tracking settings and got 12 sharp shots in a row out of this hawk takeoff. It doesn't seem to work much better with distant objects against a cluttered background, but it's noticably better at staying on focus with a close bird with mostly sky behind it.

This may have been a supercell. I don't remember whether it was rotating. Perhaps it was just a cumulonimbus. What I do remember is that not long afterwards, all hell broke loose.
The S5Pro was the apex of Fujifilm's CCD sensor-equipped cameras. The camera body is a Nikon D200, but with a Fujifilm-developed sensor and firmware. The Super-CCD sensor is special in having two superimposed sets of photosites with different light sensitivities, supposedly enhancing the dynamic range.
Having fun with in-camera focus-stacking, handheld.
15 frames (was 10 frames max until new firmware 3.0 of Jun2019), with focus differential of 3. Useful feature to shoot the lens wide opened for bokeh while getting sufficient DOF on the subject.
EM1 Mkii with 12-100mm f4.0.
If the camera can stack 15 frames handheld at one go, what is preventing Olympus from implementing a "Night Mode" like those in the newest smartphones!? Unless Olympus is reserving this for future models.
Time for Olympus to bring out a new macro lens with IS.
The old (NEX & A-mount) Sony cameras have the "Handheld Twilight Mode" and "Multi Frame Noise Reduction mode", such advanced multi-stack modes are no different fundamentally from those found in today's smartphones but have somehow all done a Houdini on newer cameras!
The E-M1 Mk2 does have a couple of auto HDR modes that are usable handheld, I've tried this with the 12-100mm.
Managed to get Petrov up into the forest for a test flight with new firmware, just as the Sun was about to disappear below the ridgeline.
Day 16 of Pentax Forum's Daily in August 2017 Challenge.
New camera! Directly took it for the spin as soon as the weather allowed and I am quite happy with the results. The focussing system in addition to the superior high ISO performance are quite nice to have. Had to update my Tamron's firmware, however, before the focussing and IS worked properly.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Forty two metres at 07:24am on Wednesday 9th September 2020, of a Large red slug (Arion rufus) off Chessington Avenue in Bexleyheath, Kent.
Also known as the Red slug, Chocolate arion and European red slug, these are land slugs or roundback slugs in the family Arionidae. The opening on the right side is a pneumostome or respiratory pore whih feeds air to the lung. They have a striped foot fringe and pale sole, and can reach 150mm fully extended.

The firmware of our "old" 350D was updated using CHDK and now we have:
1) Spot metering
2) 3200 Iso (WOW)
and a lot of other nice features
If you have a 350D Canon you can do it too!

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.
These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, and having moved from professional Nikon equipment to consumer bodies and lenses, I travel light less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 22.893+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site.

This park in Sanya is gone now, I took these photos as they were in the process of taking it all apart on April 30 2008.
All of these "Brokedown Park" pictures were shot on an Canon Powershot S3 IS using the CHDK firmware "hack" to record RAW files, then processed in ACR and PS, NR with Noiseware Pro, also I used the Topaz Adjust plugin to make them look cool.
If you have a Canon digital compact camera that uses the Digic II or Digic III processor you can record RAW files using the CHDK firmware "hack," google it, it's awesome.
By the way at least one person has expressed extreme dissatisfaction to me about this "Brokedown Park" set of photos. I just snapped them on the way home from work one day, excited because I had just recently bought a new camera and "hacked" it to shoot RAW files. But last week some guy left a comment on one of these photos (of a broken ferris wheel of all things) saying that I had propagandized my "report," that it was "not comprehensive," "not real," and he "beseeched" me to erase the pictures. I just told him that lots of people like to take photos of abandoned things all over the world and that every country has such things and that everybody knows that. And I told him to erase his own pictures. So he blocked me on flickr. What is wrong with people? Cripes.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty one metres at 15:54pm on an beautiful summer afternoon on Saturday 17th July 2021, off Woolacombe Road and Broad Walk in a garden in Blackheath, South East London.
Here we see an adult female Eastern Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), munching on some kitchen scraps.
The Grey (or Gray) squirrel, you either love 'em or you hate 'em. Cute and fluffy little funsters or destructive critters who ruin trees, kill bird chicks and trees and damage our homes... oh and it's their fault we lost our native Red squirrels as well!
OK
I get it and I see both sides of the story of course. For my part, I am a nature, wildlife and landscape photographer who prefers the company of animals and natural beauty to fellow humans who are systematically plundering Mother Earth's resources and killing off her beautiful creatures at an alarming rate! I believe there is a natural order of things, creatures kill other creatures to survive, they adapt to situations and when mankind encroaches on their territory to make a fast buck, those animals sometimes adapt to survive and the order changes. That is the balance of nature which is ever changing and affected by us..... the dumbest of the great apes.
Some species are driven out by others, some may be destined to become extinct, the fittest will survive, and sometime a species will need intervention and help from mankind in order to survive... usually as a direct consequence of mankind's own actions in destroying the animal kingdom's natural habitat of course.
I adore these little fellas and at almost sixty years old, I never grew up knowing red squirrels at all. I've seen reds in Scotland and black squirrels in Stanley Park on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, but in my beloved home country of England I have always known and loved the cute little Greys. They visit my garden and give me hours, days, weeks of happiness and wonderful photographic opportunities, and I see them in Parks and forests all around me, so it's time to offer up an insight into the Grey squirrel, much loved, much hated... a sort of Marmite rodent if you will.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A SQUIRREL?
The word 'Squirrel', was first recorded in 1327 and hails from the Anglo-Norman word 'Esquirel', from old French 'Escurel', which was a reflex for the Latin word 'Sciurus'.The Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is also known as the Eastern Grey squirrel or simply grey squirrel depending on the region of the world it is found. It is a tree squirrel, of the squirrel family Sciuridae including over one hundred arboreal species native to all continents of the world other than Antarctica and Oceania. Tree squirrels live mostly in trees, apart from the flying squirrel. The best known genus is Sciurus, containing most of the bushy tailed squirrels which are found in Europe, North America, temperate Asia as well as central and south America.
The scientific classification for the Eastern Grey is:
KINGDOM: ANIMALIA PHYLUM: CHORDATA CLASS: MAMMALIA ORDER: RODENTIA FAMILY: SCIURIDAE GENUS: SCIURUS SUBGENUS: SCIURUS SPECIES: SCIURUS CAROLINENSIS
They were first noted by German naturalist, botanist, entomologist, herpetologist, and malacologist - Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1788.
A mammal and rodent, predominantly herbivorous they are none the less an omnivore with a life span of between two and ten years. They can grow to 70cm in length and weigh up to 8kg. There are more than two hundred and sixty species of worldwide squirrel, the smallest being the African pygmy squirrel at just 10cm in length, whereas the Indian giant squirrel is three feet long! The oldest fossil of a squirrel, Hesperopetes, dates back to the late Eocene epoch period Chadronian period of 40-35 million years ago. The tree squirrels rotate their ankles by 180 degrees, so that the hind paws pointy backwards gripping tree bark which enables them to descend a tree headfirst.
Originally native to Eastern and Midwestern United States of America, they were first introduced into the United Kingdom in 1876 in Henbury Park, Macclesfield in Cheshire when Victorian banker Thomas V. Brocklehurst released a pair of Greys that he brought back from a business trip to America after their attraction as pets had waned. Victorians had a penchant for collecting exotic animals and birds of the world, but trends came and went and subsequently animals were simply discarded into the wilderness. There are early records of greys released near Denbighshire in north Wales from private collections. Later introduced to several regions in the UK, they quickly settled and spread, colonizing an area of three hundred miles in a quarter of a century between Argyll and Stirlingshire in Scotland.
Introductions of the Greys between 1902 and 1929 (the year of the last recorded introduction), included: Regent’s Park in London, Berkshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, Devon, Warwickshire, Nottinghamshire, Suffolk and Hampshire. Grey Squirrels spread into Gloucestershire and eastern Wiltshire with animals coming directly from the United States or from Woburn. One hundred greys were released in Richmond Park in Surrey in 1902, Ninety one into Regent’s Park between 1905 and 1907 and a further ten New Jersey imported greys were introduced into Woburn Park in Bedfordshire.
Predators include hawks, weasels, raccoons, bobcats, foxes, domestic and feral cats, snakes, owls, and dogs, African harrier-hawks in Africa and... oh yes, Mankind pretty much everywhere who despise, mistreat, cull or eat it .
FACTS, MYTHS AND THAT POXY PARAPOX!
The massive decline in native red squirrels blamed upon the spread of the invasive greys has always been perhaps a little harsh as reds were already in a steep decline due to loss of habitat and disease and thus the greys simply took over the areas where the reds were dwindling. It's also a fact that reds were also seen as a plague, branded as pests who killed birds and damaged trees and the culling of reds almost brought them to the brink of extinction. Licenses to kill reds could still be obtained up until the seventies!
Reds suffered at the hands of mankind thanks to a combination of agricultural deforestation also linked with war and fuel needs which caused extinction in Southern Scotland and Ireland by the early eighteenth century, way before greys had been introduced. Harsh winters killed off the less hardy red population in the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Greys are more adept at finding food and adapting to locations and environments, but also carry the squirrel poxvirus (SQPV) which although not particularly harmful to them, is a serious infection for the reds.
Parapox in red squirrels causes swollen lesions around the mouth, eyes, ears and nose also the front paws and sometimes genitals and skin ulcers and kills a red within fifteen days. There is no definitive correlation between the spread of the virus and the spread of the Greys, it actually arrived in several areas before the greys began to colonize there. An epidemic virus was observed in Red squirrels from at least 1900 with isolation attempts failing, and the first case of Parapox in the UK was in 1980 in the county of Norfolk. Greys cannot transmit the virus to reds via saliva or faeces, but reds can between each other from bodily secretions and at animal feeders in gardens. The transmission from greys to reds is though to come from parasites. Eight to ten per cent of reds survive the virus, and there is some evidence that reds are slowly building an evolved resistance.
Greys are seen as pests to forest land, stripping bark from trees during May and June, and are also capable of destroying household bins, water pipes, causing roof damage not to mention taking eggs and killing young chicks of ground nesting and songbird populations. They also take from bird feeders and there is a whole industry for creating squirrel proof feeders these days.
THE CULLING OF GREY SQUIRRELS
Grey squirrels have limited legal protection and can be legally controlled all year round by a variety of methods including shooting and trapping. Methods of trapping and killing include Drey poking and shooting, Tunnel trapping using spring traps set in accordance with BASC’s trapping pest mammals code of practice. They can also be shot using a shotgun or powerful air rifle or up until September 30th 2014 poisoned by Warfarin (Now outlawed).
Whilst professional trapping and extermination is hopefully done as humanely as possible, there have been cases, many of them where cost savings have been gained by battering the squirrels to death! Grey squirrels are trapped in ghastly metal contraptions for hours and hours, wearing themselves out frantically trying to escape by gnawing at the metals bars. They bite the floor and scratch at them with their claws and do not get a moments peace or rest through absolute fear. Once the traps are retrieved, each squirrel, terrified will be thrown into a sack and smacked on the head countless times with a blunt instrument. When a mother is slaughtered, her babies who are totally dependent on her, will die a slow death of thirst and starvation.
There is an argument for the control of Greys on many grounds but also a counter argument that Culling does not work, and has not on countless times where, once a population of greys have been culled, the nearest group will move back in and claim the land. The university of Bristol concluded that there was little evidence that culling greys to save red squirrels was effective, and that perhaps finding a way of boosting red squirrel immunity to the poxvirus or planting areas of yew trees where reds are known to thrive and spending money on research into positive moves might be a better option.
In Ireland, the re-introduction of the Pine marten, a species made extinct originally by the very same land owners who also wish to do the same to the grey squirrel, has seen the rapid demise of the grey and the re-introduction of the native reds. Red squirrels are smaller and more nimble than their grey counterparts, and as such can get to the very ends of tree branches where neither the pine martins, nor more importantly the heavier greys can, thus surviving and thriving. As a result in Ireland, the grey squirrel population has crashed in approximately 9,000 km2 of its former range and the reds has become common once more after a thirty year absence... oh and Pine Martens are protected again!
In Scotland, Pine Martens exist in areas where Red squirrels thrive, and greys do not. So perhaps there is a lesson here, as in England where there are no pine martens, the greys are prolific breeders. So there is an argument against the barbarity of shooting and poisoning greys, and if, as so many believe, the greys MUST be controlled, how about a more humane and natural method that nature intended.. with re-introduction of predators. Just a thought!
So a few facts and figures on the greys and to wrap up, from a purely personal perspective I love these little guys, as I do almost every creature in nature other than those eight legged beasties that shall not be named and for which I have a deep and powerful phobia that borders on paranoia!
I could no more harm an animal deliberately than eat a McDonald's McRib (Once saw how they are made and let me just say... eeeuuuuuwwwww!!).
They are small, cute, cuddly, furry, they photograph beautifully, have great personality and make me smile. They trust me enough to take food from my hand in parks, and I can't bare the though of ugly, hairy land owners sticking a shotgun in their face and blowing them away! I appreciate they can be a pest, a problem, a menace, that their PR managers might have a bit of a problem winning you over when they flay small chicks alive on your lawn or decimate the songbird population by stealing their eggs.... and perhaps there is a need to keep the population under control and try and re-establish the red population.....
Yep I get that....
I just hope we can solve the problem more humanely to create a peaceful coexistence of the reds and greys in different areas. A man can dream can't he.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Six metres, at 13:29pm on Monday 20th January 2020, on a beautifully sunny afternoon off Birdcage Walk and Horse Guards Road in the grounds of St James's Park. Situated in the City Of Westminster, the Park spans twenty three Hectares and is the oldest of the Royal Parks of London, with a variety of visiting and nesting birds that include Ducks, Canada Geese and Pelicans.
Here we see a Bar-headed goose (Answer Indicus), native to Central Asia from the Tian-Shans to Ladakh and Kokonor and breeding grounds in northern India, Assam and northern Burma. These are far from common in the UK, with only a handful of breeding pairs seen, and often alone as in this instance.

Die hohe Blende der Hauptkamera mit f/1.5 spielt bei diesem Motiv ihre Stärke voll aus.
Durch die optische Bildstabilisierung, den Dual-Pixel-Autofokus und die variable Blende werden auch in widrigen Lichtverhältnissen gute Bilder gemacht.
Der Dual-Pixel-Autofokus arbeitet in jeder Situation unglaublich präzise. Auch die Farben werden sehr natürlich und nicht übertrieben aufgedreht erfasst.
Solche Nachtaufnahmen
sind jetzt Schnappschuss tauglich, da die Blende F1.5 kurze Belichtung erlaubt.

After weeks of traveling through deep space, Dr. Danelle Daystrom has finally arrived on Deep Space Outpost Arcturus to help the crew unlock the secrets of her lost father's A.I. algorithms. Buried in the data was the most advance adaptive logic processor firmware ever created. This processor could be used in an entirely new breed of robotic companions, able to think, adapt, and evolve like never before.
Daystrom with the help of Nova Team’s chief science officer, Lt Cmdr Samuel Steele are working on writing the firmware to the new logic processors. It’s a complicated process, and no one knows if it will work, but its it’s definitely worth trying. Now… they just need the proper robotic vessel to run this new processor. Sounds like a job for Arcturus’s crack engineering and mechanical teams!

::::Hello everyone! Sorry for the delays in posting the continuation of this story. I’ve been buried in work as of late! But I hope to ramp back up on the frequency of my posts! Oh yeah, and I’ve got a bunch of BrickLink hauls coming my way for more builds and photos too ;-) As always, comments always welcomed! Thanks!
For those who are interested, unfortunately I am unable to sell the Nova Team minifigures or designs due to the use of the "Classic Space" logo which is owned and trademarked by The LEGO Group. My custom designed figures and use of the official "Classic Space" logo is for personal use only in my MOCs and photography. By the same token, I will not give away the design files and source material either. Thank you for understanding! Trust me, if I could legally sell these, I would.
Just a quick update on the goings on at Nova Team! Now that Daystrom and Steele have adapted the lost A.I. algorithms to the proper firmware, it’s time to start building a vessel to carry it! Here we have Ensign Benjamin Brenner, Nova Team’s mechanical specialist inspecting his lasted work on the project. He seems very pleased with the progress!

Reed warbler shot through the reeds at the local park. The bird/animal detection of the new firmware on the G9 did a good job finding him through all the reeds.
You got to give Fuji a big hand. Not only do they release some of the best mirrorless cameras, and incredible glass, but they also improve their cameras via firmware updates. In all the years I have owned Canon cameras I have seen maybe one or two firmware updates to fix bugs. Fuji Actually releases updates that are feature rich...in addition to fixing things they add features!!!! They do this for older cameras too! On Thursday Fuji released firmware for the X-Pro1, X-E1, X-E2 and X-T1. The X-Pro1...the X-Pro1 has been on the market for three years and Fuji added features to that camera too!
I have not had a chance to properly test out all the new features on the X-T1 yet. One thing I did notice that is unpublished but has been blogged about is the focus speed. I am extremely happy with all my Fuji lenses and the focus speed, except for the 35MM f/1.4....that is until firmware v3.0 was released.
The 35MM f/1.4 is the oldest lens in the Fuji XF lineup. The 35MM is a favorite due to it's super sharp IQ. The lens truly is tack sharp, but for me the drawback has always been focus. It just does not focus as well as the other lenses. Well, that all changed on Thursday. The improvements in focus are so great I have not had any other lens on my X-T1. The actual focal length on the APC sensor is 50MM...not my favorite focal length, but I am learning to love it!
I applaud Fuji for listening to their customers and improving already fantastic products through firmware updates! Canon and Nikon better be paying attention!
