Mostly male and female Common Goldeneyes, and one lone Merganser on the left…
They are overwintering on the upper Niagara River…
The weather is very dull and grey right now! We have not had much sunshine lately, but the birds are still out.
www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Common_Goldeneye/overview
Adult male Common Goldeneyes appear mostly black and white: the head is mostly black with a round white spot near the bill and a bright yellow eye. The back is black but the sides are white, making the body appear mostly white. Females have brown heads and gray back and wings. The bill is black with variable amounts of yellow at the tip.
Common Goldeneyes breed in the boreal forest, so winter is the best time for most people in North America to see them. Look for them in flocks on fairly large bodies of water. Most goldeneyes winter on protected coastal waters, but you can still find them fairly readily on inland lakes as well. In fall they are late migrants, often coming through just as lakes are freezing. Look for their distinctively shaped heads and the bright yellow eye that is visible from a surprisingly long way off. The birds may abruptly disappear as they dive for food, but keep your eye on them as they tend to surface after about a minute or so.
These are diving ducks that often forage in flocks and dive simultaneously. They tend to forage in fairly shallow waters (up to 20 feet deep).

triptych
We made a little hike up Tahquitz Canyon outside of Palm Springs. Our hike had a guide who explained all the plants used by native people.

Our WonderPana filter system is highly regarded in the landscape photography community. If the person you're shopping for this holiday season has any of the compatible lenses, consider buying them a simple WonderPana kit such as our CPL, UV, or ND kits. These are essential filters for a landscape photographer. Click here to learn more: fotodioxpro.com/collections/wonderpana
I spent eight days along the central California coast recently. I visited family, saw old friends, met up with the talented Ian Gaston, and guided clients around to some of my favorite locations. One of those locations offers the perfect rocky shelf to watch the waves crest and crash as they move past you towards the sandy shore. It’s the same location I first tried wave ICM back in 2009. The memories of exploring this area flooded back on this trip, and I can’t wait to make more personal trips back to the place I once called home.

Guided by the Night
The Milky Way appears above the Swift River and the Albany Covered Bridge in the White Mountain National Forest
With the high summits in and out of the clouds on my days off, I settled on staying below tree line. I have shot here a few times a long time ago and I guess it was time for me to try and get a decent shot here. After wandering around the bridge, I finally found this bit of rushing water that seemed to hold my interest so I waded out carefully with camera in hand to set up. The foreground is actually from blue hour, just as the stars were appearing, then I waited in the cold river, with fish nibbling on my toes, to shoot the sky. All in all, it took about an hour and a half to shoot this, but the results from this technique are certainly worth it!
No mistaking this loco anywhere with those external oil pipes.
Returning empty fuel tanks from probably Jarrow or Leeds to Stanlow Oil Refinery.

This was imaged in the west until it passed behind a tree, west is not the best direction from my location. This was taken back at the beginning of September but it’s taken until now to get the enthusiasm up to process it as I’ve imaged and processed this on 3 other occasions but this is the first time with this camera.
Object Description:-
M27 the Dumbbell Nebula is a Planetary Nebula and lies in the constellations of Vulpecula. Its distance is about 1,360 ly with a visible magnitude of 7.5 and a diameter of 6 arcmin so it quit a small but bright object and is easily seen in a small telescope. It is believed that this star went nova about 14,600 years ago.
Note:-
As there is a lot of detail to be had in the Oiii (like most planetary Nebula and Super Nova remnants) I combined it with the Ha to create the luminance Layer.
