Let's face it: seagulls have terrible table manners. Here a squabble over food disrupts the seagulls' Sunday crab buffet on the beach.

This setup is a follow up of a previous setup, to improve the lighting. In summary, I moved everything closer together, including my camera by changing the lens (24mm instead of 50mm). I increased the power of the Speedlite (1/8 instead of 1/32, so +2 stops) and compensated for this with my camera settings (f/13 instead of f/8, so -1,5 stops).
Setup:
Canon 550D with 24mm2.8 IS USM on a Velbon Ultrek 45L tripod. Yongnuo YN-622C wireless triggers for remote control of the Canon Speedlite 430EX II (with pocket softbox). Power at 1/8.
A piece of white paper to soften the light before hitting the fencer. On the top a white reflector to bounce the light back onto the MF.
Camera settings: AV, f/13, 24mm, ISO 100, 1/60.
This is for those curious ones who asked me to show the making of "Where Life Runs Smothly".
Hope you enjoy it.
Captured this image just as the roseate spoonbill was making the turn to return to the rookery. The colors of the Spoonbills were incredibly vibrant and one might question whether the saturation was too much but believe me they were so beautiful and really I had never seen theirs colors so rich. It was breathtaking !!

On our trip down south, February 24, 2018. We stopped at Shag Point/Matakaea as I had never been there before. Matakaea is the name of the pa (fortified village). We have left Dunedin and going to stay in Timaru for a night before heading back to Christchurch.
Shag Point/Matakaea has a rich history, from early Ngai Tahu settlement to historic coalmining. The area has diverse marine life. It has interesting flora, is great for wildlife viewing, and is geologically fascinating.
Flat rock platforms provide an easy haul-out site for New Zealand fur seals, and cliff-top viewing areas allow you to observe seal behaviour without disturbing their rest.
Whalers discovered the first bituminous coal in New Zealand here in the 1830s. By 1862 the exposed coal seams were found to be commercially viable and were successfully mined until 1972, when flooding eventually closed shafts that extended under the coast. Evidence of coal mining is still obvious throughout the reserve.
Matakaea is jointly managed by DOC and Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu. Matakaea has Topuni status. The mana (authority) and rangatiratanga (chieftainship) of Ngai Tahu over the area is recognised publicly by this status. Ngai Tahu takes an active role in managing the natural and cultural values of the area.

I love making Black Garlic. I have my handy dandy Fermenting machine that does all the work. I buy 1 dozen bulbs of garlic. Wrap each in heavy tin foil, put it into the machine, cover with a sheet of heavy foil and then let it sit for 4-6 days in that fermenter. You can also dry garlic in this machine. I do this in the basement, the garlic smell gets very strong at first. When done the garlic turns black and soft and a bit sticky due to the caramelizing sugars. It kind of tastes like Tamarind or Balsamic Vinegar and it develops a mild sweetness that resembles molasses with a hint of soy sauce. Once done I store it in a big jar in the fridge. Even Shizandra loves it!
As part of our trip to Africa, we went to a village in Zimbabwe where we met the people, went to a school, visited the home of the headman and spent some time in their market. My wife Helen brought some supplies for the school children as well as gifts for the people. This little girl got a bracelet and a toy, which brought a big smile to her face. Clothing and hats with logos of American sports teams are very popular there, and she happened to be wearing a SF Giants hat, our local baseball team. This shot was taken in their market, where we bought some locally made crafts. It was near to the area where yesterday's shot, below in comments, was taken.

This is a making of shot from one of the last weddings I did. During the wedding we hadn't got enough time to do the portrait shots. The couple decided to do the portraits some days later. We had luck because the weather was much better on this day as some days before.

My in-laws were here for a few days and they gave me this lovely apron from the Cornell Botanical Gardens as a house warming gift.
I like to shoot in this building. It's a challange. Not much light, lots of contrast, need for a lot of DOF. It was really a challange with the 4x5. I had to get the lines back parallel after pointing the camera down.
A little back tilt, a little swing and it all looked pretty good in the glass. At least, I'm pleased.
What did large format photographers do before apps? I used my DOF calculator to figure out where to focus. Then a reciprocity failure calculator (which even gives you a timer to use for the exposure!) because of the very long exposure. And no more making shooting notes in a little notebook...

I've been making books for a new diorama : ) It's going to be 1/6th, but these could also be used in 1/12th.
"Freetown Christiania" in Copenhagen is famous for its vibrant, ever-changing street art, including huge murals, graffiti, and decorated handmade houses, reflecting its alternative, free-spirited, and artistic community, making every wall a canvas for self-expression, from bold graphics to quirky designs, a core part of its unique identity.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - On my way home I stopped to catch another supercell north of Glendo. There was enough time to find a scenic overlook next to the reservoir. But when large hailstones started making a splash in the water, it was time to get out of there.
