Hot Rods with Flames
View allAll Photos Tagged flames
The Flame-faced Tanager is one of the most spectacular members of the diverse and exceptionally colorful genus Tangara. Living up to its common name, the forehead begins as a deep glimmering red, shading into a brilliant yellow on the nape and sides of the head. This "flame" contrasts sharply with the jet black back. The Flame-faced Tanager is a common member in mixed species foraging flocks in the canopy of humid montane forest from the Andes of extreme southwest Venezuela south to central Peru. It forages exclusively along mossy branches and occasionally peering at the underside in search of arthropods. There are three subspecies of the Flame-faced Tanager, described based mostly on minor differences in plumage. The species is typically found from 1000-2600 m and is most numerous above 1500 m. The IUCN Red list assesses the Flame-faced Tanager as a species of Least Concern; however, the population size is declining due to habitat destruction. Thus, the Flame-faced Tanager should become the focus of future studies.
Have a Peaceful Saturday!

(Flame-rumped Tanager / Toche)
This mom is now taking care of its offspring in the nest. For that reason her feathers appear as "messy".
The Flame-rumped Tanager occurs from western Panama south through Colombia to western Ecuador. This is a sociable bird, being typically found in monospecific flocks, which inhabit shrubby semi-open areas.

I chose this photo for MM theme as symbol of our lives at the mercy of COVID pandemic.
Beside the EXIF info you can find for this photo, I used also a ND filter to lower the shutter speed and increase the trembling effect.

Flame Robin, Petroica phoenicea
≠==================≠
We have only had a limited success this year with the winter visiting Robin flocks. Perhaps we were not looking in the right places. Perhaps they have wanted to explore new areas on their pilgramage down from the high country.
This male was feeding along the mown area beside a roadway, and as vehicles drove past, he'd fly back to a bushy area.
Fortunately for me, he came back onto ta branch near where I was standing.
It wasn't an easy task this week. After several different approaches, attempts and smoke detectors going off, I finally decided to roll up paper in a tealight holder and simply burn the paper - this is the result. Edited in On 1 Photo Raw 2020 and Topaz Adjust.
Das war keine einfache Aufgabe diese Woche. Nach mehreren Methoden, Versuchen und Rauchmelder Aktivationen, habe ich letztendlich Papier zusammengerollt in einen Teelichthalter gesteckt und verbrannt. Das ist, was ihr hier jetzt seht. Bearbeitet in On 1 Photo Raw und Topaz Adjust.
It's so hot here that the dahlias are catching fire 😉 Hope the bumblebee is fireproof 🐝🔥
😉 Have a happy and cool Sunday everybody ☀️

Micro (macro) photographs of lit candles, showcasing the amazing art that's produced when a candle's wick burns and the candle's wax melts into incredible shapes.
The heptagon is the seven-sided shape produced, I believe, as an artifact via reflection or captured lens flare from my camera's lens.
It took me awhile to be able to expose properly for both the burning wick and the flame itself, and it's challenging to get a sharp focus as I shoot these handheld.
Click on the photo to view it large and better see the amazing details.

I hope you enjoy.
Flame Robin (m) (Petroica phoenicea) from one of two encounters with this species this winter, central Victoria, Australia. The female was hunting across the forest floor nearby, while the male briefly surveyed the area from this low vertical perch; he then joined her shortly afterwards. This is an extreme crop, so fine feather detail is lacking, but I really liked the setting.
It's pouring rain, stifling and blowing the dog off the chain — time to bring the photographic subject indoors. The hibiscus season is almost over and the flowers are withered, wet and shredded. But wait, there in the dense shrub there's one. Quickly cut, remove insects, stick stem into some water in a wine bottle. Open the curtains wide, set the flower, camera and tripod up, and forget there's another night and day of boisterous La Nina weather. And here it is, the last flame hibiscus of the summer.
With the sun shining through his wings, and coloring the reed he's perched upon!
