Australian Ringneck Parrot.
Barnardius zonarius
Psittacidae
There are several different forms of the Australian Ringneck across its range and each appears slightly different, but they all have one feature in common — a yellow collar that stretches across the bird’s hind neck Aside from appearing different from one another, birds of the different populations also sound different, with pronounced regional variation. For example, the subspecies in Western Australia is often referred to as the ‘Twenty-eight Parrot’ because its contact call is usually rendered as twenty-eight, with the call (and the name) is unknown in other parts of Australia.
The Australian Ringneck is a large parrot, differing in size and plumage in different regions. There are four subspecies, in two main groups. All are mostly green, with an obvious yellow band on the hind-neck. Members of the Mallee group have a mainly green head and neck. The Mallee Ringneck, subspecies barnardi, has a more varied green and blue body, with more yellow underneath and a red frontal band. The Cloncurry subspecies macgillivrayi has much more yellow and pale turquoise around the face. The Port Lincoln group all have dark hoods and are mainly green. The Twenty Eight Parrot, subspecies semitorquatus, has a red frontal band and is all green underneath. The Port Lincoln Parrot, subspecies zonarius, is green and yellow underneath. All subspecies hybridise widely. They are quiet when feeding, but when disturbed fly off with loud alarm calls. Their flight is swift and undulating. This species is also known as the Mallee, Port Lincoln, Banded or Cloncurry Ringneck, Twenty Eight Parrot or Buln Buln.
I shot this scene a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted a do-over with more color in the sky. Tonight we had a front pass through right around sunset, and the wind was really blowing hard, which made shooting a long exposure pretty difficult. Nonetheless, I came away with this one!
good morning, herr doktor.
ah, there you are, my boy! come here, quickly! I've made an astounding scientific breakthrough!
oh? what now, doktor?
I've unlocked the secret of time itself! please sit here.
wow. that's really something.
just lean back and relax. this won't take but a moment, and will be almost painless.
what are you doing?
I must insert this device deep into your frontal lobe you see.
my what? won't that cause, I don't know, brain damage?
oh, tut tut. don't be so petty. we are talking about one of the great discoveries of the universe!
what's going to happen?
do not worry. you won't remember a thing.
really?
yes. in fact, you will have no memories at all. ever.
what's that got to do with time travel?
who said anything about time travel, my boy? I'm going to free you from the artificial constraints of time! imagine!
but with no brain function?
well, none to speak of. but I'm working on that, trust me.
Por la forma de colocar las alas cuando posan los individuos de Trithemis kirbyi me resultan especialmente atractivos.

I find Trithemis kirbyi individuals particularly attractive because of the way they position their wings when they land.

El verano pasado pude fotografiar al macho de Onychogomphus uncatus de distintas formas. Las hembras no se dejaron ver, a ver si este año hay más suerte.

Last summer I was able to photograph the male of Onychogomphus uncatus in different ways. The females did not let themselves see, to see if this year there is more luck.

Taken with the sun a bit more frontal than ideal. 47318 leaving TCFD with the 12:00 TCFD to Ripple Lane Speedlink service 6R82 on 28th May 1985. This was booked to work via the Leamside Line but did not always do so.
Titanfall 2
~15MP
Camera Tools: Otis_Inf's camera tool (camera, timestop, DOF)
Resolution: DSR resolutions
HUD Toggle: HUD toggle by The Janitor with outlines removed
Post-processing: Reshade v3
Downsample Filter: Lanczos2
Notes:
1. Reshade and HUD toggle needed to be in both the ..\Titanfall2 and ..\Titanfall2\bin\x64_retail folders.
2. Had to run desktop at DSR resolution and add "-height 2880 -width 5120" to launch options. Was then able to change resolution in game between 1080p and 2880p.
Can't seem to get depth buffer working without enabling the in-game dynamic resolution option which tanks framerate and results in low res textures.

Minnehaha Falls. Twenty second exposure, aided by polarizer and 3-stop ND filter. (Been sick the last four days but will catch up soon. I won't even comment on how this image represents slightly less flow than my sinuses!)
Je n'ai décidément pas beaucoup de chance avec les perchoirs ces derniers temps, mais la beauté de ce mâle rougequeue à front blanc méritait quand même un cliché, surtout quand le fond s'y prête bien ! Sans doute l'un des représentants les plus colorés et élégants de notre avifaune. L'Avesnois constitue le (dernier) bastion de la population nicheuse régionale.
