Lots of fighting going on between the Black tailed Godwits at RSPB Frampton Marsh Nature Reserve.

I saw this fossil-like object on a tree log when I was walking through the forest on Parkinsel, a small island located in Ludwigshafen, Germany.

It looks pretty interesting, Maybe it's a seashell? If you guys have any idea post it in the comments please!

Amanita flavorubens, also known as the yellow American blusher or the yellow American blushing amanita.

The genus Amanita contains about 600 species of agarics, including some of the most toxic known mushrooms found worldwide, as well as some well-regarded edible species. This genus is responsible for approximately 95% of the fatalities resulting from mushroom poisoning, with the death cap accounting for about 50% on its own. The most potent toxin present in these mushrooms is α-Amanitin.

The genus also contains many edible mushrooms, but mycologists discourage mushroom hunters, other than experts, from selecting any of these for human consumption.

Ce Canon provient de la deuxième batterie du navire sabordé, le 21 novembre 1759, lors de la bataille navale des Cardinaux (baie de Quiberon). Relevé en 1955 par un pêcheur du Croisic, Jean Quilgars, il est toujours la propriété du musée national de la Marine, le canon est en dépôt au Croisic après avoir bénéficié d’une exposition itinérante.

This summer we spent our family holiday just over the border in Belgium. I always look for things to shoot once we’re settled, and knew that N.P. De Hoge Kempen was nearby. But little did I know that this area contains one of the biggest heather fields in Belgium, and this at only an half our drive! On a new location I always prefer to shoot around sunset or afternoon, since it is so much easier to come one time, find a composition while you actually can see something and last but not least, don’t have to set the alarm so terribly early. But with a few cold nights that were coming up, and such a landscape basically around the corner, I knew I had to go for it, and maybe find the little fairytale sceneries that we all know the heather fields for.

But the exact reasons as described above turned out the be my recipe for failure. After a very pleasant evening with a few drinks to many, waking up after 4 hours of sleep felt pretty rough. Nevertheless I always get over this quickly, because of the excitement of the upcoming photographic opportunities. During the drive I saw thin layers of fog appear and vanish again, and this triggered all my senses even more. By my arrival at the parking place things were all good, a few clouds and more than enough atmosphere to get exited about. The night before I had figured out that there was an easy hike of around 4km that would led me into the purple heater fields, and the information board confirmed this with a yellow route. But no hike is easy when you miss a sign while looking around at dawn for things to photograph, and after twenty minutes of only seeing red signs, I started to feel something wasn’t right. I went back and found the little yellow plate I’d just missed, but by the time I got into the field the best of the light was long gone, and with the clear blue sky that came in things wouldn’t get any better. I did get my gear out for one ‘ok’-shot, tried to reset my thought process and focussed on more intimate shots but the fact was I was mentally done for this shoot.

I do believe most of the best and meaningful shots come from a good mindset and not so much by planning, but with this type of photography it goes to show that good preparation can be very beneficial. I was lucky with one more cold night a few days later and decided to go back with almost the same conditions, but now knowing the exact spot. And even this time I had to work hard and fast to find a composition in time. I do like the way this shot and the rest of the morning turned out however, and am a bit curious about the way others handle these situations, photographing a large nature reserve for the first time. So any tips are welcome!

Looking forward to possibly catching up with one of these again any time soon.

One or two have been reported of late so lets hope there are a few more to come.

One of the most visited and iconic locations in Ocean County is Seaside Heights. Seaside Heights is known for the beaches that sit on the Atlantic Ocean and Barnegat Bay. The boardwalk, is home to many arcade games, eating establishments, and filled with nightlife along the boardwalk and at the nightclubs. Seaside Heights is a photographers dream to capturing images of its dramatic sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean and sunsets over the Barnegat Bay. The colors as the sun reflects over the water is amazing and a sight to see.
