Scatti di prova con esposizione lunga (da 2 a 4 secondi). Devo ringraziare Giuseppe Andrea che con i suoi splendidi scatti, mi ha fatto venir voglia di provarci. Piazza Cordusio, Milan, Italy
Many of my European birding contacts post images of blue tits, great tits, and other passerine birds (yes, we're discussing birds here - let's not get distracted). Europeans might think that this black-capped chickadee looks similar to the various European tits, and they would be right: they all belong to the same family, Paridae.
Chickadees that reveal themselves are very difficult to photograph. They are incredibly energetic, rarely sitting still, and often flitting around, hopping around (and hanging underneath) branches. A fast autofocus system helps, but it is easy for it to be foiled as the chickadee darts around.
This particular chickadee would fly to the ground, dig in the snow for a few seconds, and then fly back to this tree branch. While I have no idea what it was doing and suspected that it may have some sort of bird psychological disorder, the predictive pattern offered a chance to set up a shot. I was pleased with how it came out. While it may be difficult to see in a smaller size, the eye ring is visible when the image is viewed larger.
This was taken with an Olympus E-3 and a Sigma 50-500mm used at 208mm (416mm equivalent field of view); focal length was purposefully limited for higher image quality. This was taken hand-held with image stabilization enabled. The distance to subject (according to EXIF data, which may be inaccurate) was approximately 4.3m, or 14 ft. The image was cropped to change the aspect ratio - only some bits from the top and bottom were lost.
This neurotic black-capped chickadee was sighted in the North Woods of Central Park, New York City.
27th May 2007 - This is a photo of my very own, Hyper Ring yo yo. This is not a professional yo yo to the standard of the Yoyo Jam SpinFaktor, but I suppose playing with this yoyo, it's to an acceptable standard for string tricks.
It's got a ball bearing system, and thus is more geared towards string tricks, rather than the looping ones. It's not the heaviest yoyo, but it's heavier than the Yotech Super Wing, that I used to have.
The colour is great, and it's semi transparent when held in the light. It's rim weighted, what ever that suppose to mean. I mean where exactly is the rim? I think the metal rings, if you can spot them, actually make the yoyo heavier.
This guy owned a restaurant by the venue. He was very curious about what was happening so we gladly told him.
