Eastern Osprey (Pandion cristatus) feeding on a fish at Cleveland Point, Queensland, Australia.
The Osprey has oily plumage, so that when it dives or plunges under the water for fish, its feathers become less wet and it can take off again. It does not need to spread its wings to dry, unlike cormorants.
These birds come to our garden many times every day for a feed at the grevillea bushes.

The area around our removed Bing Cherry tree produces various mushrooms most of the yea(r except for July and Aug). I used the Raynox on my 60mm macro lens as these are very tiny. Fir needles on the ground disclose their true size. The tree had become too large, raccoons would break high branches, Elk and deer would brake lower branches. Leaves and branches are mildly toxic so that was always a concern for wildlife.
When this toadstool is fully open it's large and flat like a parasol. I don't believe this is the edible variety. Taken with 19 images stacked.
On the Bellows I had the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 lens (not macro lens without the bellows) and my Nikon D500 camera.
It certainly gives the image a different look.

There's been a resurgence in Fungi activities since the recent snow melt. I've found that I prefer to expose left instead of right with mirrorless cameras, especially the Z9. Yes, I should have done a stack, thought I could get away with f/11.
A long lens for close-up images like this is my favorite. Adding or using fewer extension tubes makes all the difference. In this image I used an 11mm extension tube, adding more and the scene become too dark. Yes, I could have increased my ISO but the Mushrooms looked perfect like this.
We had a very large and old Cherry tree cut down a few years back and the stump ground. Mushrooms still come up in the spring which is great for photography. This lens allows me to get close to focus but it doesn't produce orbs very easily. However, it produces a nice soft background. This was a 13 image focus stack hand held.
This is the same image that went Explore. This image is 5 days older and took 40 stacked images to get the entire cap. My camera was pointing up more with this capture since the cap was opening. I also had to utilize a panel light. I know the background looks bright but that's low fog.
The males are orange/yellow but the females are variations of white with a touch of yellow. They only live for a few days, go figure. I was lucky to capture both a male and female within a few days. Again, using my Nikon SB-900 flash on High synch with AK diffuser since this girl is mostly backlit.
For those that comment and Fav ~ Thanks!
Pale-headed Rosella.
Even though it is brightly coloured, the Pale-headed Rosella is very well-camouflaged when feeding amongst leaves in the canopy of trees.
The call is similar to that of the Eastern Rosella: 'kwik, kwik' calling in flight, or when perched a high pitched rapid 'pi-pi-pi-pi-pi' and soft chattering.
Scientific Name: Platycercus adscitus
The Pale-headed Rosella is a medium-sized, broad-tailed parrot, with a pale head and all white, or blue and white cheek patches. The underbelly is mainly blue, with red under the tail. The back is yellow with dark flecks. The female is similar, though slightly duller, with an off-white underwing stripe. There is marked geographical variation, with differences in the depth of colour and the facial patch. This is a noisy and conspicuous parrot, except when feeding. (From Birds in Backyards)

I was surprised to find this one so early in the season but it had been raining pretty hard for a few days. This guy was low in thick brush. I ended up floating my ISO, used Spot metering and had the EV +1.3 so the cap would be properly exposed.

This bird is probably an Eastern Rosella - Pale Headed Rosella hybrid. Still quite a colourful bird.

These Eastern Water Dragons would have to be one of my favourite critters.
Captured at Rosser Park, Botanic Gardens, Gold Coast, Queensland.
Part of my pasture had a controlled burn, the grass is coming in nicely. I had read that Mushrooms like burned areas (wooded areas specifically). I noticed we had a lot of Bonnets coming up and this is one of them. It opens Large
This was stacked differently than my norm. I ran 3 stacks of 20 images, used those 3 final images and a single sharp image together for this final one. It was windy so the background was weird in the stacks, very blotchy.
These guys (Laughing Kookaburra) regularly sit on the fence at my daughters place, Upper Coomera, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

A Regent Bowerbird, (
Sericulus chrysocephalus
Ptilonorhynchidae) photographed at O'Reillys Resort, Green Mountain, Queensland, Australia.
With its silky yellow-and-black feathers, the male Regent Bowerbird in full breeding plumage is one of the more spectacular sights of the warm temperate rainforests of eastern Australia. Nevertheless, despite the vivid colours of the males, they are surprisingly inconspicuous except when perched prominently in the sun or when displaying at a bower; usually they are shy and retiring. The bower of this species is smaller and less ostentatiously decorated than those of other bowerbirds, though perhaps the spectacular plumage makes up for this apparent deficiency. (From: BirdLife Australia)
This is an old one from some time back. I do like to reprocess some of the older images sometimes.

An Osprey captured at Pottsville, New South Wales, Australia, some time ago, when we were able to travel interstate freely. Hopefully we may be able to do that again sometime in the near future.

This was a test image since I was using a tripod. It was a stack of 19 images with an ISO of 40 and an EV -2. We know that the luminous noise would be a non issue but what about color noise*? If I opened the area under the cap any more, the color noise was very noticeable. So, without lighting assist, this is the best ambient light can offer with these settings. I would have normally used Spot metering which would have been the obvious choice, if I weren't in a test mode.
*There isn't enough light under the cap for the sensor to read color correctly. Since the red channel is more prone to bias in low light, the noise often appears as splotchy red artifacts.
I don't know what to say but ever since September they just keep appearing. Single image captured with strobe. The orbs were created by the flash. The lens is an f/mount.
This Kangaroo image has been captured at the Coombabah wetlands conservation area.

TO EVERYONE OUT THERE, PLEASE TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE.
converted to b/w and cropped. This
version looks a little better than the blue hour version and has some more details.
Today we have low temperatures and a clear atmosphere with none movements of the layers. Normally taking such pictures is nearly impossible, especially in summer.
Also free hand shot and converter was used.
Next time i will leave this 1,4 Sigma converter at home ..... mor lens, more pain.
Optimized with Nikon NX-Studio.
What I find interesting is the hole it came out of, have others come out of that hole before the log split? My hope was that the valance on the leading edge would have been more visible but...I always have more questions than answers.
This is the first time I recall seeing one of these birds, the Striped Honeyeater, (Plectorhyncha lanceolata). This one came into our backyard for a brief visit and I had to go to the bird identification book for its ID.
The medium-sized Striped Honeyeater is grey-brown above, with a grey-white head and upper neck boldly striped black, and has whitish underparts with faint streaks on the belly and undertail. The feathers of the upper breast and throat are long and pointed, giving the head a shaggy appearance. Females are browner on the back than males, with more greyish underparts, while young birds are duller and less streaked overall. The bill and legs are blue-grey and the eye is dark.

This Noisy Miner image has been captured at the Nielsen's Native Nursery in Loganholme, Queensland. My wife always loves going to this nursery for some additional plants for the garden, they have an excellent garden at the front of the nursery which attracts the bird life and the bird life seems to attract myself.
I have been a little slow posting images lately as I have recently had some major lung surgery and am slowly recovering.

I believe this is a Broadleaf Maple tree that went down approx 3 yrs ago and it's already becoming a Nursery tree. They look wet but much of that could be excreted by the Mushrooms. The tree's roots have many still in the soggy soil. This was a 40 image stack done using Zerene so no EXIF data was preserved.

The 14mm lens created some distortion in this image and I had to do some straightening out in DxO ViewPoint to get all the trees vertical.
These Red-necked Pademelons were sparring with each other. Captured at O-Reilly's Resort, Green Mountain, Queensland, Australia.
Pademelons are small marsupials of the genus Thylogale. They are some of the smallest members of the family Macropodidae. Their common name is derived from the word badimaliyan, from the Dharuk Aboriginal language of Port Jackson (the Sydney region), while the scientific name comes from the Greek words for "pouch" and "weasel".
Pademelons, wallabies, and kangaroos are very alike in body structure, and the three names refer to the three different size groups. Besides their smaller size, pademelons can be distinguished from wallabies by their shorter, thicker, and sparsely haired tails. Like wallabies, they move by hopping.
Red-necked pademelons can be found in the coastal regions of Queensland and New South Wales, and in south-central New Guinea. In some areas, their range has been drastically reduced. (From: Wikipedia)

Image captured at the Toowoomba Rose Gardens.
No roses but just pretty trees as I saw them.
It is called "The War Animal Rose Garden". The garden honours the deeds and sacrifices of all the war animals that left Australia and never returned.

Well, that's my name for these tiny Mushrooms. They've started to show up around our property. I'm thinking they're from debris from when our property was logged back in the 1920s. Because of the lens this was a 24 image stack, even though is was a tiny mushroom.
