Saw this little beauty sitting on the side of the road and managed a quick shot before she panicked and ran away
I managed to escape to fresh air and trees for a day...
geotag is seriously ridiculous! even in 2024! I checked again :D

A friendly crew smokes it up for the last effort to get a short sand train for Emporium over Keating Summit. Lucky for us, the morning fog burned off a little below the summit. June 7, 2019 was a great day on the WNYP. 3 trains which we managed to shoot in about 30 different locations thanks to good intel from the birdie network. All day I kept wondering why I never shot Conrail here.
Managed to get this in flight shot of the Glossy Ibis whaich is now a resident at RSPB Hamwall. The wings look as if they were made out of copper.
This guy was crossing the road at Bombay Hook NWR, and moving surprisingly fast. I barely managed to grab this photo before he disappeared into the grass.
I've not managed to get out with the camera in the garden often this summer, so was lovely to see this beautiful hoverfly pausing for a while amongst the cosmos flowers. HBBBT
Managed to grab a quick shot before if flitted off. never seem to stay still long. This little fella is exploring some an old fencepost . Lovely little birds can be quite confiding so when one strikes A pose for the camera I grab it !!

Managed to capture these crocuses before the wind got up this morning. Evidently crocus means cheerfulness!
Farn Islands puffin shots manages to get a few in flight shots either with sand eels or of one with some fresh bedding :)
Living in an urban area creates a problem when you're looking for places to take your Raptor off-roading after a snow storm but we managed to find a few locations around Pittsburgh yesterday.

I managed a bit of time out in the garden this afternoon, before it clouded over and got nippy.
Just enough time to catch one of our Collared Doves visiting.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
I've long wanted to see a Ring Ouzel. I'd seen one pop up on a rock on the clifftop path on this particular evening. However, ineptitude meant it'd gone before I managed to get a shot. Chatting later to a couple about them, this little beauty popped up behind me! Lovely experience.
I actually saw a few more this week on the Western Peaks of the Lake District. Like buses these Ouzels.

Whilst hiding in the hedgerow yesterday morning looking out for hares, we noticed a Fallow Buck in the distance. We managed to creep closer along the hedgerow and then this beautiful stag appeared out of the woods. He stayed for a few seconds and then they disappeared back into the woods.
Managed to get this pano using my light travel tripod - certainly isn't as stable as my main one! From Rangiwahia Hut Lookout looking towards Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe. Morning sun just starting to kiss the hill tops...
I managed to finish work a little early . So I drove out onto Romney Marsh Looking for Little Owls they were not showing . Thus started my Red Letter two hours ! 1/ Barn owl very close 2/ a Marsh harrier in flight 3/ this Buzzard asking for a photo 4/ a Woodpecker as I sat under a tree looking for the little owls that I never got to see today . I have often spent a day getting a shot of one of these birds on the above list let alone all four in two hours
The black swan (Cygnus atratus) is a large waterbird, a species of swan which breeds mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia. Within Australia, the black swan is nomadic, with erratic migration patterns dependent on climatic conditions. It is a large bird with black plumage and a red bill. It is a monogamous breeder, with both partners sharing incubation and cygnet-rearing duties.
The black swan was introduced to various countries as an ornamental bird in the 1800s, but has managed to escape and form stable populations. Described scientifically by English naturalist John Latham in 1790, the black swan was formerly placed into a monotypic genus, Chenopis. Black swans can be found singly, or in loose companies numbering into the hundreds or even thousands. It is a popular bird in zoological gardens and bird collections, and escapees are sometimes seen outside their natural range.
This bird is a regional symbol of both Western Australia, where it is native, and the English town of Dawlish, where it is an introduced species.

managed to capture this delight while zoom-zooming in Vancouver yesterday, would love to meet the owners :)
A recent trip to a dry lake bed to search for a Great thick-knee was not successful, however while walking around, I was harassed by this black-winged stilt that thought I got a little too close for its comfort to its young. I took advantage of the situation and managed to find the right moment where the birds was flying directly at me for a click!
Managed to get this lucky shot of this Grebe having its lunch. I must say it took some time for the bird to manage to devour its catch.
I managed to get up Ben A' An after work the other day (nearly had to run it). I was blessed with some lovely late light as a gap opened up in the clouds to the south as a snow flurry blew through. It was a pretty bitter wind.
Actually managed a day out with my camera today, and had the chance to tick 2 locations off my ever-growing bucket list. This beautiful old abandoned church really tickled me, with the oak tree growing up through the middle. Unfortunately we were plagued with very harsh sunlight today, so a return trip is on the cards....;-)
This forest appears more like something you would see in the Everglades in Florida, rather than in Scotland.
Giving ultrawides a try. I managed to acquire a 18/4 Distagon for a very good price, and on to my camera it went.
While I'm not one who particularly likes using wide angles, I've been experimenting with composing with it. I've found it rather challenging, actually...with so much volume to deal with, it forces a completely different approach to photography than my norm! It isn't a lens I'll be taking out frequently, but it definitely has a place in my lineup.
Here in Boston, we've been getting a lot of snow lately, and I wanted to capture it here. Particularly, the oppressive feeling of being sandwiched between all of this weather!

I didn't manage to catch any falling droplets from the icicles in my previous photo (at least not with any degree of sharpness, since I didn't have my faster 50mm lens on), so here is one from last winter. I doubt we are going to have any more snow or ice this season, so there go my chances of trying this again!
... this is a different crop (a square crop that I love these days) and re-edit of a photo I'd posted last year....

Thanks for stopping by
and God Bless,
hugs, Chris
I managed to get quite a few action shots in my afternoon session as the rain stopped and the grey skies lifted a little. I still had to use very high ISO to get the shutter speeds I needed. This one was iso 2500 to get me up to 1/6400 shutter speed and using pro-capture the only thing I had to do was keep a good supply of SD cards and batteries :o)
Hey, guess who finally did some photography travelling after all this time? And hey, guess who managed to make it an absolute disaster like most times? Yes, me. Ugh. Let's just say - being dumped, coming off medication AND traveling whilst generally anxious doesn't make for a great time.

My eyes are very good in the dark. Fact. Probably because I essentially live in a cocoon, in a dark bedroom all day. Anyway, my good vision means that I often notice things that Michael misses. In this case, it was this sweet little gate below. Possibly a bit of a security issue back when invading armies could come along.
This is the only decent shot that I took that also included the ruin itself. Unfortunately it wasn't a particularly big ruin and a nice view I did find was far too dark. That's what happens when you totally rely on 'natural' light!
Managed to get myself up to Plymbridge today for a bit of a ride around the woods. Got caught in a bit of a rain storm and managed to get a quick snap of these dog walkers going for shelter under the bridge.
Prudence Oiseau on the train from Paris to Scotland, arriving in Hogsmeade checking into a room at above the Three Broomsticks until tomorrow where she prepares for the up and coming big day.
Thinking over and over again about the situation that happened last night with the boy she has a secret crush on, she sat in the corridor alone using her favorite spell over and over....
Managed to snap this one as the sun was emerging over the horizon - the framing was a challenge with so much clutter
I managed to get out early on the latest in a series of misty mornings characterised by a temperature inversion in the Derwent Valley (and, indeed, across a much wider area). I took this shortly after sunrise with mist starting to roll in to envelop Over Owler Tor.
