- This is my attempt to blend in a long exposure star trails into a Milky way scene. The end positions of the stars and the galaxy, along with their colours is seen together with faint trails over a bit over 30 min. I seem to get a green hue close to horizon for this whole night of shooting the stars. It's extra visible here when I highlighted the colour in the blending mode, not sure what that colour comes from, anyone knows its origin?
Me and Andreea were down at the Guildhall on Friday, taking pictures of a fashion show called When Kafka met Kahlo being put on by our friends Battenberg-Cartwright.
This was taken just before the show began.

▶ WHAT IS EXPLORE?
"Explore is a Flickr feature with the intent of showing you 'some of the most awesome photos on Flickr.' Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness. The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore.
Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more. The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.
Is Explore a showcase for the top Flickr photographers? No. It's for photo viewers, not the photographers. It exists so that, at any moment, anyone who wants to view interesting photos can go to Explore and have a reasonable chance of seeing something interesting.
Does that imply that photographs not in Explore are uninteresting? Of course not. Many wonderful photos are uploaded to Flickr each day not selected for Explore. But, to serve its purpose, Explore only includes a small sampling of all of the photos on Flickr, showing photos from many different people to create a diverse selection."

HOW I PHOTOGRAPH SMALL, FAST BIRDS IN FLIGHT
(A lot of the credit for this method goes to my new friend named Brian who I met at Fletcher Wildlife Gardens yesterday. He gave me some key tips that improved my existing method - thanks a million Brian!)
1. Find a location with lots of birds flying back and forth in a predictable, repeating pattern. Feeders are perfect.
2. Set up your tripod in order to give you the desired approach angle of the birds coming in to the feeder. If you want images of birds without seeds in their mouths you have to catch them coming in, not leaving. Also, make test shots to try to get a nice background or at least one you can work with in post processing.
3. Focus your lens on a spot on the outer edge of feeder closest to where the majority of the birds are coming to it. If they are coming to the feeder from the trees to the left then focus on the far left edge of the feeder.
4. Gently switch your lens to manual focus using the switch on the lens, thereby disabling the auto focus.
5. Rotate your tripod head or gimbal head slightly to the left so that your field of view does not have the feeder in it, but only the small air corridor immediately to the left of it. This is your target shooting zone. Lock down your tripod/gimbal to prevent any tilting or panning.
6. Set your aperture to as high a number as you dare to go as this will increase your depth of field and thereby increase your odds of getting your subjects in sharp focus. Unfortunately, the higher the aperture setting the higher your ISO will be, but that's still better than having a blurry image. You'll need to experiment. For this reason full sun days are the best.
7. Set your shutter speed to 1/2500th of a sec. You can experiment with faster and slower.
8. I set the ISO to Auto-ISO as this has been my preference for many years... it works very well for me.
9. Set your shutter activation speed to maximum speed. I use 10 frames per second on my Nikon D500, but I've had good results at 6 to 7 fps.
10. When you're all set, stand up straight and don't look through your lens, but look in the direction from where the birds will be coming and have your finger on the shutter button. When you see one of your darling little models coming in, get ready to rattle off a short burst of no more than 3-4 shots.
After a bit of practice you'll be able to get a framed bird in almost every burst. However, in even 10 such captured flight images only a few, if any, will be useable because many don't have nice open wing positions and most are not quite sharp enough to be useable. Nevertheless, you should be able to come away from a 1-2 hour session with a keeper or two,
A word about bird behavior. I was there for about 3 hours and I've spent lots of time at other public bird feeders and what I've found is that the really busy group-feeding happens in waves. There are always a few birds here and there coming it to the feeders, but then there's a whole feeding frenzy with many dozens of birds coming in one after another giving you lots of opportunities to capture some good images. Be patient and the next wave will be sure to happen.
Good luck and enjoy!

In a panoramic position on one of the most inspiring expanses along the Gulf of Policastro rises Maratea, magnificent city in the Region of Basilicata.
Built on the rocky Monte San Biagio, the city faces a spectacular stretch of the Tyrrhennian Sea.
Maratea is a calling for travelers in search of a relaxing seaside vacation marked by Italian landscapes, tastes and culture.See
In Maratea’s old town center, the Medieval urban plan still survives, with its narrow roads, and artistic and architectonic testimonies.

Before the latest snowicane hit our beloved state, my wife and I made a quick sojourn to see how various wildlife was anticipating what was to come. For whatever reason, within a few miles out of town, we were able to spot a half dozen eagles flying about. A couple of them were carrying Florida maps, not sure what that was about.
I saw one eagle flying toward our vehicle but by the time I had stopped, grabbed my camera and opened the door, all I was able to snap was an in-focus shot of his posterior. But before I could climb back into our vehicle, this one came from out of the western skies and I was a little better prepared.
When I photograph flying eagles, I try to get different positioning of their wings. If I am close enough like for this photo, wings in an open position show off the wonderful texture and color of their feathers.
Not everyone shares my enthusiasm for eagles. I laughed one time when I posted an eagle shot on a site and a fellow from Alaska was not very impressed. He said in their area eagles were considered a nuisance and looked on as just more colorful crows.

China, Harbin, City Impressions, St. Sophia Cathedral Place.
Heilongjiang Province, the most northeast part of China, when viewed on a map has the shape of a swan. Its capital city is Harbin, which is located south of Heilongjiang.
Not only for its special position, but also as the centre of Heilongjiang's political, economic, educational & cultural life, Harbin is described as the pearl beneath the swan's neck. Lying on the east of the Songnen Plain, what is more, Harbin plays a vital role in communications between South & North Asia as well the regions of Europe & the Pacific Ocean.
Harbin was the birthplace of Jin, 1115-1234 & Qing, 1644-1911, Dynasties, the latter of which had a very considerable influence on modern Chinese history.
At the end of the 19th century, Russia built the terminus of the Middle East Railway here. Later, more than 160,000 foreigners from 33 countries migrated to Harbin, promoting the development of a capitalist economy in the city. The economy & culture of Harbin achieved unprecedented prosperity at that time & the city gradually grew into a famous international commercial port. Assimilating external culture, Harbin created its unique & exotic cityscape. The majestic St. Sofia Orthodox Church & Zhongyang Dajie each built in a European style have the effect of bringing you into an 'eastern Moscow'. Even though you are sure to be attracted by various exotic buildings, the Dragon Tower which embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people is a must on your journey.
Besides these rich cultural heritages, Harbin is favoured with beautiful natural scenery. Based on meandering Song Hua River & subject to severe low temperatures in winter, down to -30°C, when I took this Pictures the Temperature varied between -20°C & -26°C but dry air, Harbin boasts a unique ice & snow culture. So, Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
The impressive "Ice & Snow Festival" is the greatest & unusual one in the world, therefor Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
As well the large Siberian Tiger & white tigers research centre, with about 500 tigers & a few other species, does an important work to prevent this species from extinction. The Research centre can be visited, tours in small a bus are available, passing through wide natural, separated, sections, however the focus point is to save the tigers.

There are lots of charming, kind and smart Border Collies on the Faroe Islands.
On the smaller islands, where people travel by boat (or helicopter), the Border Collies usually come to the dock to see what's happening and who's coming and leaving ツ
This is one of the three Border Collies who came when we waited for the boat back from Fugloy. They were really cuddly, and one of them found the dog treats I had forgot in my jacket ; )
This one was standing like this for a long time, watching the puffins on the cliff right over the dock. He followed them with his eyes as they were flying in and out ツ
