A re-edit of a previously poor quality posting

Just in case one is unavailable the other mailbox is ready to go.

Posting for fun and record keeping. Sifu Yew Meng and I dropped by Ron's place on Saturday and we basically spent the afternoon catching up and errr ... messing around with butterflies. Ron has been 'obsessed' with butterflies for some time now and presently has at least a few boxes filled with butterfly designs of all sorts. We thought we need an image to reflect his current 'obsession' and besides, it's time he has a new FB cover photo anyway ... :-)

 

All butterflies designed and folded by Ronald Koh.

 

Kind of a rushed 'effort' - the bad 'choreography' and PS job are solely the caveman's fault.

Last postings for 2021 - Lord Hill's column, Shrewsbury. Viscount Hill, a general, won honours at Waterloo and went on to become head of the British army after Wellington. The column is both wider and taller than Nelson's column.

I\'m not posting this to the usual LEGO groups because this is largely not made of LEGO bricks.

 

Time for something a bit outside my wheelhouse! This is my heavily modified version of a Toyota AE86 designed by a LEGO knockoff brand called CADA. I bought it because I liked the idea of having another Speed Champions-style car on my shelf that had additional functionality like the LEGO Ford Mustang does. It has functional steering like the Mustang, and it also has suspension on the rear axle. It\'s also fully geared (and has a differential) for motorization. Plus, unlike many (most?) clone brands, this design wasn\'t stolen from LEGO or a MOC. It\'s original to CADA.

 

To see what it looked like before my modifications, you can check out some great images by František Hajdekr over here. Basically, I think they missed the mark aesthetically in a few ways. They gave it too round of a roof (because they copied the Mustang), an uneven belt line (because they copied the Mustang), and no C pillars or really any form to the bodywork at all by the rear side windows. I also didn\'t like its reliance on stickers for details like door handles and the radiator grill. It had some small mechanical issues too, like steering that would ratcheted because the 40-tooth gear got caught on some internal supports, and some poorly reinforced elements such as the hood hinges and the rearmost suspension linkage.

 

I fixed all of that and added some personal touches, too: black wheels and a white hood and lights for a more factory aesthetic, a dark red interior with black floors and proper Toyota seats, a largely redesigned engine with spark plug wires, an air filter, a radiator hose, new headers, and a battery; and various other changes and bugfixes including eliminating illegal techniques and filling small gaps.

 

This thing is now at least 1/3 official LEGO pieces as a result of my meddling. The cost of my tweaks (about $60) was massively more than I paid for the set (under $20) to begin with!

I took the above photo a few years ago in Hollywood in the Los Angeles Metro system. The reason why I'm posting it this morning is that I am dismayed by a video that I saw yesterday of Flickr photographer Shawn Nee being harassed by Los Angeles Sheriff Deputy Richard Gylfie in this very same subway system.

 

Among other things, Officer Gylfie threatens to have Nee arrested and have his name put on a special FBI hit list where he will be inconvenienced and delayed every time he travels in the future. This sort of harassment should not be tolerated.

 

Please take a minute to watch this short video and then share this video with everyone that you know. Tweet about it, blog it, digg it, and help get the story out.

 

This sort of intimidation should not be tolerated, photography is not a crime.

Another first for me! Really excited to see and capture one of these beautiful Harriers. I have seen them from a distance flying over fields but until today was not lucky enough to ever get close to one. I would like to thank Doris (d.lily) and Marty (Smarty) for such great company and a wonderful day out shooting. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day! Low seventies and not a cloud in the sky! :-) A perfect fall day in Northern, California.

This shot was taken at Las Gallinas Sewage Ponds: The popular name for the complex of sewage treatment ponds, tidal mudflats and sloughs, salt marsh, and fields just north of the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary Disposal Plant, which is at the end of Smith Ranch Road in San Rafael,CA.

Have a few more closeups I will be posting soon!

Enjoy a wonderful week everyone! :-)

Hi everyone!

I'm posting today a wildlife shot, trying to diverify a bit my stream as I

really like a lot of styles in photography.

I'm trying to focus on a different way to shoot wildlife, in black & white.

I think this is a way to really capture the expressions of the animals,

just like documentary photography for the humans (which is much better in

b&w). So why not showing animals' expressions in photography just as humans' expressions are shown? I think wildlife photography should be more focused on animals' feelings, expressions and even emotions they emit through their gesture, their eyes, their interaction with their habitat or their movements. Please leave me some words if you agree or disagree with this as it's a small innovation I'm trying to give.

I took a picture of this ring-tailed lemur a few months ago with my Canon

5d MarkII and my 70-200 f/2.8 L USM in a really nice open zoo called

BioPark in Valencia, Spain. I didn't perform much treatment, just some

cropping, contrast and luminosity finetuning, and switching to black &

white using the channel mixer in Photoshop CS5.

I really hope you'll like it!

 

If you like it, press F :)

Thank you for your comments and feedback, I really appreciate it!

First posting from my Indonesia trip. Had a great time in the Lembeh Straight and on the Aggressor boat.

 

I had problems with my Flickr account not being able to sign on and make any comments for about two weeks.. Things have been fixed now

Posting Box

Posting some spring colour to brighten up a dreary day.

On 27 August 2019, it will have been 13 years since I posted my very first photo on Flickr. It was of a Savannah Sparrow, seen in Weaselhead on 23 June 2006.

 

This afternoon, 19 August 2019, I decided that I would post the last 9 photos taken on 18 July first, before editing and posting any of the photos I took yesterday, on a visit to a wonderful farm. I left home a few minutes before 8:00 am yesterday, and arrived back home at 8:00 pm, feeling totally tired out. This was partly because I had only had a couple of hours' sleep the night before, and because it took me two hours to get to the farm. This was the first time I had ever driven myself there, as we had carpooled on the previous two visits. After leaving the farm, I took some new back roads that had been recommended to me while I was at the farm; roads that I had never driven before. Beautiful scenery, and I discovered a rather nice old log cabin and two or three old rusty vehicles, including a beautiful big, blue bus. I am SO happy that I made myself do both drives. I had to do it, as this is a wonderful farm and I couldn't bear the thought of not visiting again.

 

The 9 images posted today were all taken either at or near Frank Lake, SE of Calgary. After seven or so long, brutal months of winter (coldest on record?) and then endless weeks of rain and cloud, I eventually decided, enough is enough. I have become a fair-weather photographer, and we don't get that much fair weather, especially this year. So, on 18 July 2019, despite the weather forecast for a thunderstorm, I decided to drive SE of the city mid-afternoon. My plan had been to go to the Farm first and have a meal, and then continue on to Frank Lake. Seeing the beautiful storm clouds on my drive south, I was torn as to whether to go to Frank Lake first and catch a few photos. Then it occurred to me that I could also get a few sky shots once I had turned off the main highway and on to the country road leading to the Farm.

 

The Farm was pretty busy. So much wonderful colour everywhere that I almost forgot about the weather. That is, until I was eating outside under the open shelter. It was so cold, I had goosebumps, and the wind increased, sending a huge picnic table umbrella flying fast through the air, like an arrow. Just a short bit of rain and all returned to normal.

 

As usual, I wandered around the grounds, shooting flowers, rabbits, landscape, clouds, and old tractors. One barn stood out to me and had me puzzled. I have visited the farm many times before, but I don't remember seeing this particular barn before. It looked so pretty, with its colourful flower border.

 

Eventually, I continued my drive to Frank Lake. The storm clouds stayed with me. One side road has a small wetland on either side of the road and I pulled over to check what birds might be there. I was about to turn off my car when a loud buzzer sounded and a tornado alert was announced - to take shelter and if there was no shelter nearby, to get into a ditch or ravine. Then I heard that the area covered was further SE - in fact, where I had been a week earlier.

 

"Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) confirmed a weak EF0 tornado touched down two kilometres northeast of Crossfield at around 2:15 p.m. Sunday, 14 July 2019, marking the 12th confirmed twister of the season." (This was roughly 50 km north of Calgary.)

 

According to the weather agency, Alberta typically sees an average of 15 tornadoes per year with the peak season starting mid-to-late June and ending early-to-mid August.

 

So far in 2019, there have been 12 confirmed tornadoes in Alberta and three probable ones. There have also been many reports of funnel clouds." From Global News.

 

While i was standing by this wetland a White-faced Ibis flew in. I believe this was the first one I had really seen and photographed this year. Further on, when I was at the blind, there were so many Ruddy Ducks. The Barn Swallow pair flew back and forth to their nest that is just out of sight. I had checked to see if I could spot the Red Knot (bird), but without binoculars, it was pretty much impossible to check the very distant water birds.

 

A very enjoyable afternoon/evening. Mid-evening, the main highway wasn't very busy, and the rain only started when I arrived home and had to get out of the car.

Posting for a group.

I’m posting the photos of Hurricane Ida destruction of the Gulf Coast of the United States for my Flickr friends abroad that may not have access to this disaster. The damage is ubiquitous and massive. Mother Nature raised hell upon the state of Louisiana on the 16th year anniversary of Katrina. The Gulf Coast needs your prayers. These few photos are just the beginning. Rooftop of a hospital blowing off. House collapsed and flooding. What a disaster, it’s not just New Orleans but Alabama, Mississippi and Florida panhandle. It’s moving north and here in West Virginia we’re already feeling the effects. 🙏🌊⛈💨

As I find myself still not up and about as much as I would like, and consequently, not getting out for my usual photo walks, I delved into the archives for images to-date ignored. This one dates from near sunset some 2 years ago and shows the West wall of the Giant Tiger store in downtown Grimsby, Ontario. The colours came out more intense than I had expected in the JPEG SOOC. Not so in the starting of RAW (ORF) processing so I checked out the JPEG more closely and decided to use it as my base. Now, I have to admit, I messed up the manual WB setting, manually selecting Cloudy rather than either Daylight or even using Auto WB. Hence the intense colours SOOC. But I liked the result and here it is. - JW

Not one of my best photos, but I am posting to find out if there is anybody out there who used to work for Hall & Co.? This was a family owned firm that got taken over by the RMC group and eventually sold off in 1998. I worked for them in my "Southern" existence from 1959-1973, first at Manor Road, then Brentwood Road and finally South Street, Romford.

The vehicles, by the way (!) are OY9542 an AEC Matador from 1934 (now rallied under "J.Henshaw" and Bedford WTL AOY372 again from 1934 - still existing , I think, in Hall & Co.red.

Seen at Earlswood on the first rally run I attended on 5/5/68.

I can't resist posting a few more of pina's shots from Grand Central because I find the effects so charming. These were taken during Friday afternoon rush hour and, despite the apparent emptiness, the terminal was completely packed.

Most fun though I think is how pina reacts to the mobs of tourists and their clouds of flashing cameras. It's like vintage Batman- pow! bang! flash!

Posting four photos taken yesterday, 29 December 2024, SE of Calgary. Had hoped that I might just be lucky enough to see a Snowy Owl, but no luck this time finding my first Snowy for this winter. Looking back on Flickr, most of my old Snowy Owl images were taken in the month of January.

 

Seeing the return of snow forecast for the next few days, yesterday seemed to be a good chance to get out. It did snow last night, but not a great amount. The weather yesterday was supposed to be good and it turned into a beautiful day. The skies at times were just gorgeous during the five hours that I was out. It made such a welcome change from the overcast, white skies that I had on recent drives.

 

Birds were scarce. Only one bird of prey was seen, perched on a tall power pole. Before I managed to get a photo of it, from a distance, a pick-up truck came from behind me and off flew the bird. This has happened many times before, on an empty, quiet back road and just when I come across a bird to photograph, along comes the only vehicle, spooking the bird into flight. A lone Ring-necked Pheasant male more than made up for it, though. First caught sight of it way down the road, running through the tall grasses and plants. When it reached a nearby farm, it took off, flying, and disappearing. The only other birds I saw were a couple of Ravens and several Black-billed Magpies.

 

Old barns and homesteads were enjoyed, as always. Most, if not all, were familiar ones. Not sure when I will get out again, as four of the next five days are supposed to get snow. Just thankful for yesterday.

This photo is a creation by Leslie (Bogostick). I'm simply re-posting it to help spread the word about the upcoming launch of the next A-Z Challenge!! A-Z 2.0, if you will ;). If you haven't commented on Leslie's post but would like to, please feel free to visit her page at www.flickr.com/photos/bogostick/39884283462/in/pool-29623... to share your thoughts. :)

 

Here is the announcement she has posted:

 

MARVEL_DOLLS and I are happy to announce the A-Z Doll Photography Challenge will return in just a few days. We hope you're as excited as we are!

  

Photo themes will be posted to Audra's (MARVEL_DOLLS) account and the photo group page, so be sure to watch for a post with descriptions of A, B and C in February.

  

Your opinions are important to the success of the group, so please take a moment to answer Yes or No to two questions:

  

1) This group had featured a voting process, much like the Blonde Bombshell group. Would you like to continue monthly nominations and voting to recognize your favorite photos for the themes? (Yes or no)

  

2) Would you like to be tagged to each photo announcing monthly themes and possible voting announcements?

  

(A "no" vote means you will not see notices about the group on your "Recent Activity" feed on flickr or receive an email notification depending on your settings.)

  

What won't change: Anyone can vote, and anyone is invited to participate with any fashion doll. The themes are broad frameworks to stimulate creativity, and most importantly, participation is fluid, so come and go as your schedule and creativity allows.

  

If you haven't yet joined our photo group page, you can do so here: www.flickr.com/groups/2962397@N20/

  

We look forward to your feedback and hope you're ready for a new year of fun!

After posting my last photo of Widow (flic.kr/p/c4o1cC) some people were sharing how unhappy they are with head Lego supplied so here's my version :D The head used is Padme from the new Sith Infiltrator set.

Looking back through the archives... I never processed anything from this, my last morning during my first visit to Grand Teton National Park, until now... Obviously, the weather was really bad and the quintessential shot of the Tetons in the background was impossible due to the cloud cover... But now, looking back, I feel the shot has alot of mood. It reminds me of standing there in the cold rain, a little disappointed... but hey, at least I was away on a photography trip. I've decided I like this one.

 

what say you?

 

PS: My friend's shot here: www.flickr.com/photos/semperacdc/4059344258/ kind of reminded me of this series and inspired me to go back and have another look to see if anything was worth posting... thanks

   

From now on I'll be posting about people on flickr you just can't miss and must MUST visit their photostreams. These are people who inspire me and basically leave me spellbound with their work. I'll be doing this every now and then focusing on one person at a time.

 

The nineteenth person I am posting about is the truly amazing, Crystal. I'm just in love with the way she edits her photographs. They are just so absolutely beautiful. Her work is just sublime and worthy of recognition. I dont know what more I could say but this, you must MUST visit her photostream! :D

Now I know that everyone is posting this, but I just think it's it's so cool! Though I can't tell whether that's brown or red, I'm gonna need to see more pics to make my final judgement.

Posting an old picture to advertise that I am back.

The final 'Enchanted' print.

 

I've published this before but thought it good to pair up with the original to compare and contrast.

 

This is a shot that did well in the Sevenoaks Camera Club October 2014 print competition. My other entry.

 

Taken on a circular walk near Lamberhurst, Kent. For once I was lucky enough to be shooting in great light as the sun was setting which, along with the processing, gives a rather magical feel to the image.

 

You wouldn't believe it from the clean and dry bed of leaves seen here but we spent almost the entire walk stomping through mud!

Once again, I am posting photos from my archives until I manage to get out again. Today, 22 January 2024, is forecast to be the last really cold day, at least for a while. Though the last couple of days have been less cold than the dreadful -30C's and -40C's we were getting, today is still cold enough at -13°C (FEELS LIKE-22°C) around 1:00 pm. We had a bit of very light snow this morning. After today, we are supposed to have high temperatures of between PLUS 2°C and PLUS 6°C! Crazy Calgary weather!

 

If I wrote a description under any previously-posted photos that were taken on the same outings as these 'new' photos posted today, I will add it under today's photos.

 

"On 30 June 2016, I just made it in time for a botany visit to our main naturalist leader's home and garden. Gus Yaki and his wife have an amazing garden, full of so many kinds of flowers, including a good variety of native plants. One of my favourites is Showy Milkweed - love the cluster of individual flowers growing on a rounded head. These plants have spread over a lot of the front garden. All they need now is for Monarch butterflies to fly a bit further north than they usually do and discover this little bit of butterfly heaven. In 2012, though, it was very unusual, as people were seeing a few of these amazing butterflies in Alberta, including in Calgary. I even got to see and photograph a few Monarch caterpillars in this garden in July 2012, for the very first and last time. Milkweed does not normally grow in Calgary, though we have seen a plant or two growing in the wild at one location in the city.

 

"Monarchs only use milkweed for their eggs - no other plant will do. There is a good reason for this. Milkweed is poisonous and the caterpillars absorb the poison into their bodies, thus making them immune to predators." From edmontonnaturalizationgroup. The National Geographic has an amazing, fascinating video of the life story of these spectacular butterflies - couldn't find a link to it, unfortunately.

 

edmontonnaturalizationgroup.org/blog/2012/08/13/wildflowe...

 

""Pollination in this genus is accomplished in an unusual manner, as the pollen is grouped into complex structures called pollinia (or "pollen sacs"), rather than being individual grains, as is typical for plant pollen. The flower petals are smooth and rigid, and the feet of visiting insects (predominantly large wasps, such as spider wasps, which visit the plants for nectar) slip into notches in the flowers, where the sticky bases of the pollinia attach to the feet, pulling the pollen sacs free when the pollinator flies off. Bees, including honey bees only gather nectar from milkweed flowers, and are generally not effective pollinators despite the frequency of visitation.

 

Species in the Asclepias genus grow their seeds in pods. These seed pods contain soft filaments known as either silk or floss. The filaments are attached to individual seeds. When the seed pod ripens, the seeds are blown by the wind, each carried by several filaments." From Wikipedia.

 

Our leader also has a large vegetable garden. One thing that always fascinates me is the Egyptian Walking Onion. Each one seems to take on its own artistic shape and I love to photograph these - both fascinating and quite beautiful.

 

In the afternoon of this day, we experienced a huge rain and hail storm. Fortunately, it cleared up in time to go on Don Stiles' annual evening Bluebird route trip. I always look forward to going with Don on his nest box route, checking on a few of the boxes and finding either Bluebird or Tree Swallow eggs or babies. Don records all the information about numbers and dates, and also demonstrates how he carefully bands the young birds. Thanks, as always, Don, for an enjoyable evening outing and thank you for all the many, many years (must be somewhere around 35?) you have spent helping to preserve our beautiful Bluebirds. We all enjoyed seeing the various other bird species during the evening, too."

I'm going to be posting a few birds-in-flight shots over the next day or two - I will start with some greylag geese at Lakenheath Fen. I do like greylags - I always think they are quite elegant geese. They seem to have a determined but slightly worried expression - but I suppose that could just be me. D7100_48741.NEF.

Posting this on an appropriately cold and snow day in western Michigan. Stopped under the Franklin St bridge waiting for a signal are an SD80MAC and an SD70MAC. This was a G010 crew that had put a grain train away at Grand Ledge and were now running to Grand Rapids since the taxis weren't running due to the storm.
