The Bald Eagle of the Falconry of the wildlife park - what an impressing bird!

Looking close on Friday's theme: Heart in focus

 

Heart in the snow :-)

Soft focus sunset with silhouettes. A sunset captured forever for you to enjoy!

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

 

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.

Water drops on a poinsettia leaf.

Coming in to land on Lunga. I deliberately set out to focus on other species this year (Fulmar, Shag and Razorbill) however there was no way I could ignore the puffins completely.

playing around with light, focus and old hard discs

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

Thank you for looking!

I am using here an adapter and a lens (Helios 44M-7, a 58mm lens) that is not coupled with the camera (Leica M8). So, the camera does not help at all with focussing. Instead, I used a measuring tape, adjusted the lens accordingly and chose a narrow aperture (F11) to increase the chance of achieving good focus. It does work, though this is my first successful shot applying this method. In "real life", I think, I should use a portrait lens that is coupled to the camera.

Focus stack

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!

Some more experimenting with focus stacking of a black ant under my Nikon Labophot-2 microscope. Approximately 64 images were focus stacked together in Helicon Focus to create this image. The ant was photographed under side light with a 4x objective. I was impressed by how much fine detail was captured, especially in the eye, leg and antenna.

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.

Homework assignment for a macro class I am taking with Don Komarechka.

A focused Black-headed gull in Callendar Country Park.

I love when I catch my darling Snugs in a bird watching stance as I did here. Her focus is total and she is not even aware of me taking her picture. I normally find it hard to get a good picture of her, especially if she is aware as she comes toward me and gets too close.

Happy Caturday from Snugs and I 💕☘️

Spotted a fellow Leica shooter locked into the moment during the Palio delle Oche in Campomarino. Shot on the Q2 Monochrom with a quick preset tweak to lift those silver curls and separate her profile from the crowd.

Purses in Primary Colors on Madison Avenue

A close-up done with the 7Artisans manual lens at F1.2. The photographic discussion sometimes refers to "dream lenses", often super-fast vintage lenses that produce soft and rich images. I found that this little Chinese lens does similar things when used wide-open, in particular when backlit. If sharp focus is not your primary aim, then this tiny and inexpensive piece of glass would be an option.
