* The last post from my trip to Seville at least for a while . It is another shot from the Plaza de España that we saw on our first afternoon. We were equally impressed by the architecture but also by the wonderful warm temperatures . Two months later and I am still waiting for a little warmth its been a cool wet Spring this year
The Plaza de España is is a beautiful collection of buildings in the Parque de María Luisa in Seville. It was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. The Plaza was, designed by Aníbal González, was a principal building built on the Maria Luisa Park's edge to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits. González combined a mix of 1920s Art Deco and Spanish Renaissance Revival, Spanish Baroque Revival and Neo-Mudéjar styles. The Plaza de España complex is a huge half-circle; the buildings are accessible by four bridges over the moat, which represent the ancient kingdoms of Spain. In the centre is the Vicente Traver fountain.

Le rouge gorge est un oiseau solitaire et très territorial. En effet, chaque individu vit seul, et son chant pourtant si mélodieux, fait office d'avertissement pour ses congénères. Sa toison rouge est également utilisée comme un signal d'avertissement, pour impressionner et s'emparer d'un territoire, ou pour défendre le sien.
Ce côté territorial est présent été comme hiver. Lorsque deux rouges-gorges entrent en conflit, ils paradent en bombant leur plastron rouge, sifflent de manière très puissante, puis se battent, malheureusement parfois jusqu'à la mort.
Si à nos yeux le rouge-gorge est un petit oiseau mignon et inoffensif, il est en fait très agressif avec ses congénères. Il s'agit même du passériforme le plus agressif.
Il est cependant très peu craintif de l'homme, et il n'est pas rare d'en voir faire leur nid dans des granges ou des cabanes, surtout en hiver.
Il est également courant de pouvoir observer des rouges-gorges se poser juste à coté de quelqu'un qui jardine par exemple. Même s'il ne se laissera pas toucher, il ne ressent aucune crainte d'être à proximité d'humains. Pour ces petits passériformes, on remarque donc dans leur comportement que l'homme ne représente aucune réelle menace.

The robin is a solitary and very territorial bird. Indeed, each individual lives alone, and his song, however melodious, serves as a warning for his fellows. His red fleece is also used as a warning signal, to impress and seize territory, or to defend his own.
This territorial side is present summer and winter. When two robins come into conflict, they parade by bulging their red breastplates, whistle very powerfully, then fight, unfortunately sometimes until death.
If in our eyes the robin is a cute and harmless little bird, it is in fact very aggressive with its congeners. It is even the most aggressive passériforme.
However, it is not very fearful of humans, and it is not uncommon to see them nesting in barns or huts, especially in winter.
It is also common to be able to observe robins landing right next to someone who gardens for example. Even if he will not let himself be touched, he has no fear of being near humans. For these little passeriformes, we therefore notice in their behavior that man poses no real threat.

These impressing monkeys have an amazing mimikry. Its a subspecies of baboons wich live in the "Tierpark Berlin". Only one day with good weather when we were in Berlin for a long weekend - so we choosed to try to make some sunshine photos away from the many tourists in the inner city. This was a good idea.. :-D

A common resident bird found around freshwater lakes, rivers and waterbodies. They are much smaller than the Grey Heron's and less aggressive too in my view. The birds are quite shy and have a tendency to hide in the reeds, vegetation unlike the Grey Herons which are more visible. The nesting season is towards the end of Summer and the birds start collecting materials like twigs to build their nests. These nests are well located in the middle of tall reeds and vegetation.
I was experimenting with very high shutter speeds and this was shot at max shutter speed of 1/32000. I am impressed by the quality of the shot and R5MKII noise levels are well controlled in the Raw file. The haze made things worse though. I am doubtful of using such high speeds ever though and at best limited to experimentation I guess.
Have you ever shot at such high shutter speeds? How did that go?
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
Landscape Photography Workshops & 1-2-1 Tuition
Taken on a three-day workshop that I ran last week in Dorset.
Arriving on the beach at Durdle Door in the middle of the afternoon during harsh light and pure blue skies have you stand and look around at what you can capture that might be even remotely interesting and unusual.
Then I spotted this lovely small cave-like indentation in the white chalky cliffs known as Bat's Head. What were the challenges in shooting from this viewpoint I hear you ask? lol.
Well, for starters, there's not much room in there and setting up a tripod is almost impossible. You certainly need a small travel tripod to even have a chance of setting it up. I had a huge tripod with me so I decided to shoot this scene handheld and furthermore I only needed to capture the scene once despite harsh contrast and a crazy depth of field issue. Saying that my Canon EOS R coped impeccably with the stabilisation of the image, the great depth of field leaving everything sharp to look at, from the rim of the cave to Durdle Door itself as well as the dynamic range coping with the varying degree of light.
The more I use the Canon EOS R, the more impressed I am with it.

While I am impressed by the additional mask capabilities of Lightroom I would say the Sky selection masking needs some work IMHO, on every image where I have used it has left a halo when I bring the image into Photoshop for final tweaking. Oct and early November are great times of the year to capture lake mist or more technically radiation fog, this occurs because the water has absorbed and retained the suns heat as air that has been cooled by the night temperatures that is moisture laden passes over warmer water of the lake. This scene is of my favorite places to welcome the morning and take in the light show as the sun rises at least when I don’t have a camera in hand and a cup of steaming coffee instead.
I took this on Oct 23rd, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 15-30 f2.8 G2 Lens at 30mm, 1/5s, f8 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Topaz ,and DXO
