Example of use of TOPAZ AI SHARPEN
A Chiffchaff taking off

It's impossible to recover a movement blur with a sharpening filter : a sharpening filter will only add noise in this case but it will never recover details.
TOPAZ AI SHARPEN includes a new function called STABILIZE that is different from a simple sharpening filter. It tries to find a movement on the photo and to cancel it. That's why sometimes there are small artifacts on the opposite side of the movement, but it is really easy to deal with them with GIMP or photoshop.
To conclude : this tool deserves a try as it is free for 30 days.
It is very usefull for animals in movement (birds in flight, animals running ...), but it can manage movement of the photographer too.

One of my test shots with the 800mm. From my exif data, you can see my settings. I wanted to get an idea of how noisy a photo would be if I lowered the ISO a bit, in this case, down to 1250 and I cropped in really close on this photo and there is virtually no noise visible, at least to these old eyes on my large computer screen.
Still greatly limited by the fixed f11. Someone yesterday commented that I seem to have a love/hate relationship with this lens. Well, lets just say I'm glad I didn't pay thousands of dollars for it, LOL. But again, in the right conditions, it's fine.
If there's a buzzing-noise, somebody's making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee.

"It's my final stage, my ego drives me crazy
You doesn't hear, so my years was wasted
Now I see my sacrifice and I'll kick you in the ass
But now it's time for me to take my revenge
No one could expect it, 'cause they thought that I am...
Too good to be bad, too good to be bad"
I had a brilliant day yesterday . It started with a cycle down to the coast on a perfect morning. I had planned to go fishing but a stye tide hadn't dropped much I went to check the bees. As I was inspecting one colony I heard this amazing noise all around, and looked up to see a big swarm wheeling all around. Thye were entering a vacant hive right next to me. What a wonderful experience, to just stand there in this vortex of whirling bees. Leter I spent a wonderful hour at the edge of the sea watching the waves pounding up the sand. I also caught a Cod so was very happy. A cycle back home for a perfect day. Bloodbuzz Ohio is by the National , and is one of the few songs I have that mentions a swarm of bees. In this image from last year I'm imagining the mighty cloud is the swarm.
Another from the lower falls on the Afon Mellte, I love the red algae colour in this pool. Even though you can't see it Ocean of noise, by Arcade Fire is fine, as it was so loud, you struggle to hear yourself think!

Will those feet in modern times
Walk on soles that are made in China?
Feel the bright prosaic malls
In the corridors that go on and on and on?
Are we blind, can we see?
We are one, incomplete
Are we blind, in the shade
Waiting for life, waiting to be saved, yeah?
'Cause love is noise and love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again
Will those feet in modern times
Understand this world's affliction?
Recognise the righteous anger?
Understand this world's addiction?
I was blind, couldn't see
What was here in me
I was blind, insecure
Felt like the road was way too long, yeah
'Cause love is noise and love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again
'Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that you're feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again
Will those feet in modern times
Walk on soles made in China?
Will those feet in modern times
See the bright prosaic malls?
Will those feet in modern times
Recognize the living bitter?
Will those feet in modern times
Pardon me for my sins?
'Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again

Montezuma Oropendola - This seems to be a fairly common bird in Costa Rica. They would often fly in as squawking, noisy groups much like the Mexican Jays we see at Madera Canyon; scaring off the smaller birds. This is a medium sized bird, maybe a little larger then the aforementioned Mexican Jays. This image was taken in very low light, at a high ISO, so there was a lot of noise in the background. One of the editing techniques I regularly employ is to copy and open the RAW image and tweak it for the subject and save as a PSD (BIRD), and then open the same copied RAW file and reprocess it for the background and save as PSD (BACKGROUND). I treat them as two separate images and then layer them so that I am erasing my corrected bird from a super glass smooth background. It takes some time, but for me, the results are well worth the effort. I used to be embarrassed to discuss my editing process, as it is rather involved depending on the image. I thought that if I had to do a lot of processing, that meant I was a crappy photographer incapable of getting a perfected image straight from the camera. Now I embrace the time I spend on each image. There are so many amazing images out there, and I think, what can I do to distinguish my work from the glut of great nature and wildlife pictures that are produced and posted every single day. I don't know if I am succeeding or not, but I am satisfied that I am giving each of my images the best of everything I know how to in order to bring them to life.

“How strange it is. We have these deep terrible lingering fears about ourselves and the people we love. Yet we walk around, talk to people, eat and drink. We manage to function. The feelings are deep and real. Shouldn't they paralyze us? How is it we can survive them, at least for a little while? We drive a car, we teach a class. How is it no one sees how deeply afraid we were, last night, this morning? Is it something we all hide from each other, by mutual consent? Or do we share the same secret without knowing it? Wear the same disguise?”
― Don DeLillo, White Noise

This is an old photo rescued today from Facebook
Was playing around with the free trial of Adobe Lightroom. This is a single, underexposed shot that I was going to use for an HDR. I just quickly uploaded it to lightroom to see what it could do. Finished it off in PSE 6 just to remove a bit of blue from the rocks with no noise reduction or sharpening. Not too bad I think, but still have a lot to learn. Of course would have come out better with a correctly exposed image.

I have lost my perfect hearing.
My whole life I have enjoyed exceptionally acute hearing in both volume and frequency range. Sadly, since my one infection during the last 5 years that I believe to be Covid, I suffered ongoing random occurrences of vertigo that would last for just 24 hours at a time. Immediately after one of those vertigo attacks a few months ago I awoke with sudden onset screaming tinnitus that has been with me ever since. Overnight I lost a lot of hearing range in the upper frequencies too. From hearing clearly up to 21khz to my hearing now falling off from 6khz and above. My audiologist confirmed that, anecdotally, there has been a massive increase in cases of tinnitus in people following Covid infections. It is and has never been 'just a cold'.
It saddens me so much that I can now no longer enjoy perfect peace and quiet.
I have other symptoms commonly found in 'Long Covid' too. I did so well to avoid infection only to get ill early last year.
Thank you all for your support, comments and favourites. They are all greatly appreciated.
Take care.
Massive art piece adorns Highway 1 through North Vancouver
Colours inspired by Lynn Valley flora and fauna. [With its 623 panels it is probably the largest single piece of public art on the North Shore. Highway 1 connects Metro Vancouver to the North Shore, the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal and Highway 99. ].
Hwy Noise Barrier Art Project
Artist Rebecca Bayer's Merge is a 366-metre-long shock of colour stretching along Highway 1 between Mountain Highway and Fern Street. It is one of the final pieces of the $200-million Lower Lynn Improvement Project, intended to shield the Inter River neighbourhood from highway noise.
Bayer chose the 20 different colours specifically because they are found in the flora, fauna and landmarks from the Lynn Valley area. Bayer consulted with the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre to match colours with individual species like the red-backed salamander, Pacific chorus frog and licorice fern. She then tried out different permutations to come up with the pattern that exists there today. www.google.com/search?q=colourful+fence+along+highway+1+i...

Welcome to New York! You can only wonder who decides what’s necessary noise and what isn’t, can’t you? Which in turn raises the question of subjectivity and objectivity... and who’s to decide that?
An interesting philosophical debate, no doubt. But meanwhile, my simple mind was quite amused by the street sign, which I spotted in Bleecker Street, Greenwich Village – so here it is.

have a look at the Drummer!
yes it is a Robot and he was really good :-) as the whole Band.
Indeed it wasn`t noise but loud and an very good Rockn Blues performance.
I liked it.
NOISE MAKER is the topic for Monday 11 September 2017, Group Our Daily Challenge
This past Wednesday I did something that I have not done in several months. I dragged my carcass out of bed and drove to be in “my spot” at Muscatatuck NWR for daybreak. So much has changed there over the years. The roads are much better but several fields that once provided the best hunting area for its raptors are now covered with thousands of saplings. If this growth continues, I will have little to no reason to make the drive…a sad reality.
One thing that hasn’t changed is my ability to make noise. I have a favorite, time tested and proven noise that I make when no one else is around. It has made coyotes, deer, eagles, elk, seals, bear, mink and otters stop in their track and look at me. Direct eye contact provides the best of photo ops! I hope to someday cross paths with a Honey Badger to see if it works…we all know they don’t care!
Early Wednesday I spotted bevy of 5 otters hunting one of the creaks on Muscatatuck. They were heading away from the bridge I was on, but knowing the refuge, I knew they would pass under another one further south if they maintained their course. I also knew that they would take several play, rest and eating breaks along the way. There was no way to estimate their arrival at the next bridge.
I made a few laps around the refuge, checking to see if they had made it yet, nothing. The entire time I was questioning myself with if I even wanted to photograph the otters. When you do the math, statistically I have photographed any single otter at Muscatatuck several times over the years, maybe even as a pup. I reminded myself what a blessing it is just to see them.
On my third and final lap, I could see the ripples in the water and bubble paths…a sure sign that otters were hunting below. I extended my monopod, steadied my stance and waited. Within seconds three otters surfaced as if they were synchronized swimming. I swung my lens in the area of the closest one and took a few shots. It noticed me right away and was in the process of staring me down to determine my threat level when I decided to make my noise. Instantly it opened its mouth as if to smile…I know…anthropomorphism at its best!
No matter how much things that we cannot control change, we can all still make our noise!
