Hi to everyone! I have been busy lately, so i haven't had time for photography. I will come back slowly and visit your streams and beautiful creations. I hope you are all doing fine. :)
Estos caballitos del diablo tienen un aspecto muy liviano, pero a pesar de eso su agilidad y destreza para moverse entre las ramas de las plantas próximas a los puntos de agua es sorprendente, incluso en los día de vientos racheados.
Se posó a mediana altura lo que me permitió fotografiarlo con cierta comodidad.
Macho joven de Ischnura elegans.
These damselflies have a very light appearance, but despite that their agility and dexterity to move between the branches of the plants near the water points is surprising, even on days with gusty winds.
It perched at medium height which allowed me to photograph it with some comfort.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Heavyweight/Lightweight. Some treasures were revealed on a walk around town this afternoon...
HMMM!
So dark and so shiny, but really too beautiful up there with its spread-out tail. No light there, but a memorable encounter for life. Swallowtail hummingbird I guess.
The Elite, or Lotus Type 14, was the first purpose-designed road coupe from the innovative mind of Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus Cars (1952). This endeavor followed his open Six and Seven roadsters and a series of very successful sports racers, starting with his first fully enclosed aerodynamic 1954 Lotus Mk VIII.
Chapman’s approach was always to “add lightness,” instead of moving to bigger, heavier engines. He achieved this for the Elite by pioneering an all-fiberglass monocoque with only localized steel reinforcement. The 1953 Corvette showed the potential of a fiberglass body on a steel chassis, but Chapman took it a step further. The Elite was entirely fiberglass, including its load-bearing structure. Suspension parts and the front subframe supporting the engine, bolted directly to three box sections molded into the fiberglass body. His advanced glass-reinforced composite body panels were lightweight and cost-effective but, more importantly, it was the world’s first fiberglass monocoque production car.
The curvaceous body style was the work of Peter Kirwan-Taylor, John Frayling, and aerodynamicist, Frank Costin. The resulting design had a low drag coefficient of only 0.29. Underneath was an advanced suspension derived from Lotus 12 Formula 2 racing car and used “Chapman struts” at the rear. You can see their tops poking up through the rear window. The resulting build, and combined lighter weight, gave the Elite a nimble, exhilarating performance out of its 75hp 1.2-liter Coventry Climax “Feather Weight Elite” (FEW) inline four-cylinder engine. 1960 Motor magazine road test noted its maximum speed at 111.8 mph with 0–60 mph in 11.4 seconds. “Speed, controllability in all conditions and comfort in all its aspects make this compact two-seat coupe an extremely desirable property,” concluded the road test, calling it a “mettlesome thoroughbred.”
At roughly $5500 with tax, the Series 1 Elite was pricey, but it was gorgeous and fast! Series 2 developments included an improved design of rear suspension, and a better body build by Bristol Aircraft. In 1960, one could option a higher performance, special equipment (SE) Lotus model, like the one seen here. This included a ZF all-synchromesh close-ratio gearbox, two SU carburetors, and a modified exhaust manifold. Altogether, the package developed 85 bhp.
The Lotus Elite offered outstanding performance, but it was expensive to build and nearly bankrupted Lotus. In September 1963, after a mere five years, Elite production came to a halt. Road & Track magazine even ran “An Appreciation and an Obituary” for the elegant little car.

In some surprising weak sunshine, Derby lightweight railcar 'Iris' is seen with the green 101 dmu as they pass Kinchley lane. It was working the 1710 Loughborough - Leicester North during the Great Central DMU & Beer festival event 10/9/22.
I won't lie: this car took my breath away while driving around the beautiful scenery of Bernese Alps!

One of the more spectacular Autumn illuminations is that of Byōdō-in (平等院, "Temple of Equality") in Uji, within the Kyoto Prefecture.
Handheld shot as tripods are banned in the temples of Japan. This is a closer although more oblique angle.
Wide-opened with FE 16-35mm f2.8 GM, ISO already at 2,000 even at 1/8s.
Rumor has it that Sony is working on a new method of manufacturing Fresnel lenses which can suppress flare. Hopefully they can bring out a lightweight fresnel Prime such as 500mm f5.6 or even 600mm f5.6 soon with synced lens IS and IBIS! Hopefully A7RV will arrive sometime next year with their new Bionz XR processor, Sony needs an answer to the EOS-R5, sensor performance does not even need to be better than the A7R2/3, faster sensor read-out speed, better IBIS and better AF (animal-eye AF) will be welcomed, no DR penalty with full electronic shutter will be great!

Not a successful aurora hunt, but there was at least a hint of colour to the south. After watching in amazement today some night time video from North America showing wonderful green aurora on a livestream webcam in Duluth on Lake Superior, I was hopeful the good conditions would continue into our southern hemisphere night, but it was not to be while I was out there. Still, it was a good chance to get out with the new 16mm lens and see how it performed. On the R10 body used here, it is about a 25mm equivalent. Quite happy with it for such a cheap lightweight lens. Keen to try it now on the full frame RP body.
The foreground trees were totally dark in most of my attempts, but this one caught a car driving behind me and lighting up the trees with its headlights and I thought it added a little more interest.

To avoid blurring due to camera shake and to achieve consistent sharpness in the depth of the room, medium format cameras are usually used with a tripod. At shorter distances to the subject, the background often remains slightly out of focus even when stopped down significantly, which can look unwanted and therefore incorrect – in contrast to clear blur. To avoid this impression and especially to use the blur as a creative tool, I like to take photos with the aperture open or only slightly stopped down. Then the blurriness looks intentional and is clearly noticeable even at a short viewing distance or with a small image format. A welcome side effect is the more flexible way of working without a tripod, for which the compact and lightweight folding cameras in particular were developed.

Single 59s on this working are now rare. In this case it looks like the train is formed of one portion, with only box wagons and no hoppers, so no need for the additional 66.
Due to strike action there were no passenger workings over the B&H all day, but 7A09 still managed to run an hour late (after leaving Merehead over 2 hours down)
