Thanks for your views, faves and comments, they are much appreciated. Have a good week and HMM!

My project for the week was to try taking shots showing speed and focus....I was pleased with this one ... also the composition is pretty well balanced. I used ‘burst’ mode on my camera....

I had another practice attempt at capturing a bird in flight when this Osprey flew overhead. My main goal here was to try to focus on the eye and get it sharp. There wasn’t much light to work with but I managed to capture just enough to get some colour showing in his eye. Some photographer said you need LUCK when capturing these moments. ( Labouring Under Correct Knowledge). I shall continue to labour on! Happy Wing Wednesday!

More fun with extension tubes.

With autumn almost ending and winter is coming, not much subjects that can be used to photograph in our garden.

Adding some context here as at first glance, this looks horrendous!!

Nubia's two cubs were fighting. She'd been trying to get them to suckle but they just wanted to grab at each other so she grabbed one whilst the other was still biting their sibling. It made for riveting watching... mama wanting them to focus on feeding and her incredible mothering skills in attempting to stop the siblings warring.

Daylily in the backyard garden ... Selective focus with a bokeh background.

A few of the regular shooters at Wildwood. Likely a Green heron is the subject. Wildwood Lake, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Thank you for looking!

Green Heron in the canal, Wildwood Lake, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Title quote by Les Brown.

Is the tower at the end of the perspective really leaning? It's all a question of point of view... Like so many things in life, you have to look at everything from every angle.

Est-elle réelement penchée cette tour qui pointe au bout de la perspective? Tout est une question de point de vue… Comme beaucoup de choses dans la vie, il faut savoir regarder tout sous tous les angles.

Not been that happy with my macro raindrops recently. As there were loads around this morning I practised.

Comments + welcome.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)

With only a brief window before moonrise I went to a familiar recent target to try more bokeh MW! This is a lot longer exposure than I would normally do with a 50mm lens as star trailing is less noticeable when out of focus!

between the culms of grass and flowers, focus is in good hands I think.

I hope you enjoy :-)

White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae)

This one was focused on something - it didn't seem to notice me at all.

Dusk falls, the clarity of the sky tells that winter begins to leave room to spring.../Med stillheten i siktet, en klar skymning, det märks att våren nalkas.../Con la quietud en la mira, bajo el cielo claro del atardecer se nota que el invierno va cediéndole paso a la primavera...(DSC_4981-4)

Haven't nailed the focus on the eye but they are a curious bird.
