camera toss plus processing = fun
my initial foray into programmatic sources for camera toss, see this photo for a better description.
le Rougegorge familier est peu farouche et son plumage attractif l'ont rendu populaire chez des générations de jardiniers; en réalité le rouge-gorge fait partie d'une espèce d'oiseau très agressive, et certains mâles se battent parfois à mort pour défendre leur territoire. Présent dans presque chaque jardin, c'est l'un des oiseaux les moins sauvages, cherchant sa nourriture à proximité des humains en train de jardiner. Il ira jusqu'à venir se nourrir de proies vivantes, comme des vers de terre ou des vers de farine, présentés à la main. Si l'hiver est rude, il deviendra encore plus familier, car le manque de nourriture provoqué par la neige et la glace le rend très vulnérable.
Le rouge-gorge défend un territoire à longueur d'année, sauf durant la mue et si l'hiver est très froid. En hiver, les femelles occupent et défendent aussi un territoire. Celui-ci leur est nécessaire non seulement pour nicher, mais aussi pour garantir une source suffisante de nourriture. Un rouge-gorge sans territoire meurt au bout de quelques semaines. C'est pourquoi cet espace est défendu avec une telle énergie. En général, il suffit que le propriétaire exhibe son plastron rouge pour que l'intrus recule, mais il peut arriver que la lutte s'engage et les combats s'achèvent parfois par la mort de l'un des adversaires.
À l'opposé de nombreux autres oiseaux, le rouge-gorge vit en solitaire pendant l'automne et l'hiver mâle et femelle restant sur leur territoire hivernal respectif avec comme résultat qu'ils continuent à chanter même en hiver.
Le rouge-gorge semble bien voir dans l'obscurité, car il est encore actif le soir quand il n'y a plus de lumière.

the familiar Robin is not very shy and its attractive plumage has made it popular with generations of gardeners; in fact the robin is part of a very aggressive bird species, and some males sometimes fight to death to defend their territory. Present in almost every garden, it is one of the least wild birds, seeking its food near the humans in the process of gardening. It will go as far as feeding on live prey, such as earthworms or mealworms, presented by hand. If the winter is rough, it will become even more familiar, as the lack of food caused by snow and ice makes it very vulnerable.
The robin defends a territory all year long, except during the moult and if the winter is very cold. In winter, females also occupy and defend a territory. It is necessary for them not only to nest, but also to guarantee a sufficient source of food. A robin without territory dies after a few weeks. That's why this space is defended with such energy. In general, it is enough for the owner to show his red shirt so that the intruder recoils, but it can happen that the struggle begins and the fighting sometimes ends with the death of one of the opponents.
In contrast to many other birds, the robin lives alone during the fall and winter male and female remaining in their respective winter territories with the result that they continue to sing even in winter.
The robin seems to see well in the dark because it is still active at night when there is no light.
Where it all started, or where you can find out how it started.
There are stories that should not be forgotten... Well, perhaps we should never forget. From memories, from the past and from our history we learn. Today I begin to record the result of my investigations. A task that has taken me a year, a long year of wandering between the shelves of the Carnelian Archive, where all the Fairlands chronicles are kept. The dust, the smell of leather, paper and history have been my faithful companions in this search, which is now over. It was something personal, yes. It has already been lost in time and in the silence of my relatives over the years, but I needed to know the truth. And the truth, like a polished diamond with countless faces, is not as simple as they imagined. There is no good or bad, but a mixture of the two whose balance maintains the Universe. Anyway, this is not the time to ramble. I think I should pick up the scattered fragments, hinted at in these flickr posts, and tell the whole story, though maybe not the whole truth, who knows....
Piranha rouge/Red-bellied piranha
www.aquarium-museum.uliege.be/cms/c_12768843/fr/aquarium-...
Did anyone tell you
that in each subway train
there is one special seat
with a small hole in it
and underneath the seat
is a tank of piranha-fish
which have not been fed
for quite some time.
The fish become quite agitated
by the shoogling of the train
and jump up through the seat.
The resulting skeletons
of unlucky passengers
turn an honest penny
for the transport executive,
hanging far and wide
in medical schools.
(Edwin Morgan, "The Subway Piranhas")
.....which we cannot
put into words,
make life special
I was taken by the moment when I found during my visit to Santorini, the 3 day as a result above Oia at once this spectacle. I have left the capture as I found it, except for a few small corrections....
Die Momente...
.....die wir nicht in
Worte fassen können,
machen das Leben besonders
Ich war angetan von dem Augenblick als ich bei meinem Besuch auf Santorini, den 3 Tag infolge oberhalb von Oia auf einmal dieses Schauspiel vorfand. Ich habe das Bild so belassen, wie ich es vorgefunden habe, bis auf ein paar kleine Korrekturen....
2020 was really starting to get to me. . .I tried to find ways to avoid thinking about the frustrating madness of the world during that year. . .So playing around with old photos became one of the ways I avoided "the world". A good name for what I ended up with would be. . ."The Result of Idle Time".
Here's some more of it. . .
It's a handheld shot at 1/6 sec of two vehicles passing on a highway, for this week's Crazy Tuesday theme: "Something in Motion." What I can't figure out is why the vehicles themselves show motion blur, but the chrome on the wheels shows up as patterns instead of blur. I took several shots of different vehicles and they all came out the same way.
The only thing I can postulate is that maybe the autofocus function on the camera tried repeatedly to focus on the wheels as they turned(?). In any case, I sort of like the look; it gives the image a kind of sci fi or futuristic vibe for me.

Comparto un apilado realizado a partir de una selección de 47 fotos. Probé a montarlo automáticamente con PS, pero el resultado no me gustaba, asà que he cogido foto a foto y he ido aplicando una máscara de capa una a una sobre las zonas con más detalle. Para realizarlo dejo invisibles todas las capas menos la de más abajo, entonces cojo la inmendiatamente superior y le aplico una máscara de capa (blanca), a continuación pinto en negro sobre las zonas enfocadas y después invierto la selección de la máscara (comando+I en Mac), asà sucesivamente hasta la capa superior. En el trayecto dejo algunas capas sin utilizar si no me aportan información. No es todo lo perfecta que yo quisiera, pero... (_3120280-a-26-APIL-MANUAL-VP)
I share a stack made from a selection of 47 photos. I tried to assemble it automatically with PS, but I didn't like the result, so I took photo by photo and applied a layer mask one by one on the areas with more detail. To do this I make all the layers invisible except the bottom one, then I take the one immediately above it and apply a layer mask (white) to it, then paint black over the focused areas and then invert the mask selection (command+I on Mac), so on up to the top layer. Along the way I leave some layers unused if they don't give me information. It is not as perfect as I would like, but... (_3120280-a-26-APIL-MANUAL-VP)
It hasn't escaped my notice that the squirrels' favourite feeders are the so-called squirrel-proof ones. They seem to get great pleasure from swinging upside down from branches to access baffled and weight dependent feeders. Very occasionally, a risky upside down manoeuvre results in a fall but mostly they acquire these feeder accessing skills from a very early age and of course I love watching them.

A circle is a beautiful shape but it is closed and nothing can go out and nothing can come in. This circle is open and the resulting force is like that of a powerful magnet. In life one must allow the movement of forces in and out of one’s soul and one’s self.
This is the reflection of the front part of a yellow canoe that was resting on the bank of the river. Using a smidgen of punsters license, I decided to name the pareidolia head that emerged, Canute or Canoot after King Canute a Danish king of England 1017-1035. He is best remembered for demonstrating to fawning courtiers his ability to hold back the rising tide.

Thank you so much
This is islad Santorini in Greece. This island of Santorini is a volcanic island. The island has gone through many volcanic eruptions eruptions and earthguakes in history. The geological structure of the Island of Santorini was formed as a result of the volcanic activities that occurred about 3600 years ago. 3600 years ago, the volcano in Santorini, the Minoan civilization as a result of the expolision has disappered. Santirini is a must-see place.
I'm DONE! LOL! Thank you ALL for your ideas, suggestions and constructive criticism! I hope I some how hit the in between this time!
Great conditions, right loco, good company; what more could you want?
Well, to be honest, the tide in but if that'd happened I'd have had to quit the hobby on a high.
These are the days that make all the fails rankle a bit less!

Continuing this brief series of cool sights I saw on a single morning outing to Grasslands, the park at my doorstep. These two Moose with their calves were a surprise; I tend to see moose more often in fall and winter. And last year there was considerable noise and commotion as contractors built a new bridge across the Frenchman River - resulting in many wildlife species, including moose, steering clear of the area until things settled down.
But.. they're ba-ack!
I'm so happy. They add an extra touch of wildness to the prairie landscape. Twenty-four years ago, when I first spent some extended time hanging out in this place, moose were a rare sighting. In the interim, they have arrived to occupy the valley, and other prairie locations, too; biologists are not sure why.
My theory? They find ample food and shelter here, where there are no natural predators, no hunting, and an abundance of peace and quiet. Essentially these are the same reasons I moved here full time in 2011. I'd like to think I'm smarter than the average moose. But maybe I'm not.
More to come...

This morning dawned bright and cool, ideal for a walk in the woods.
Today I decided to shoot jpeg only, just to see what results I could get.
This image is straight from the camera, re-sized and watermarked in photoshop and uploaded.
Shot with the X-S10 set to D range priority.

I was walking around the beach at sunset with my Polaroid, looking for a nice scene with the ocean, the sun going down... but nothing stood out.
While I was going back to where I came from, I met this group of guys playing football. One of them looked at the Polaroid and started doing that face "Oh, cool camera! Take us a picture!". I just replied: "If you'd just were playing by the ocean...".
This shot is the direct result of his answer: "Well, let's do it!".
Thanks again Sean, Joshua, Dante and Melik!

Here you see why the Heron was guarding its domain with such ferocity. Within minutes of chasing away the anhinga, the heron lunged out of the tree it was sitting in, beat its extended wings thrice and plunged into the water - spearing the prize displayed here.
A few flips and turns and the prize slid down the throat - some other photos of this series are included in the comments below.
Early science results from NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter portray the largest planet in our solar system as a complex, gigantic, turbulent world, with Earth-sized polar cyclones, plunging storm systems that travel deep into the heart of the gas giant, and a mammoth, lumpy magnetic field that may indicate it was generated closer to the planet’s surface than previously thought.
This image shows Jupiter’s south pole, as seen by NASA’s Juno spacecraft from an altitude of 32,000 miles (52,000 kilometers). The oval features are cyclones, up to 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) in diameter. Multiple images taken with the JunoCam instrument on three separate orbits were combined to show all areas in daylight, enhanced color, and stereographic projection.

This is an older photo that I re-worked a bit for the red-line theme. The original (altered only by removal of some telephone wires-yuck) was supposed to look like a busy city scape with car lights moving by. www.flickr.com/photos/katdavis/1323688396/in/set-72157601... However, it was so busy with street lamps and signs etc. that it distracted from the red lines. Cropped a bit differently and used PS to get rid of distractions. It looks like a different photo and I'm pleased with the result, although each has something to say for it. Would be interested in people's preferences.

A walk behind the closed down Avon Tyre factory in Melksham to explore infra red possibilities on a bright and sunny February morning. Newly converted Sony A6000 first try-out - quite happy with results after processing in Photoshop and DxO Photolab.
I really enjoyed my day out in my white socks that I didn't want to take them off after getting back to the hotel.
Thinking of ordering PhenQ – wait till you have read this!
Trying to lose weight huh? Tell me about it. I have struggled with it for a really long time. After the birth of Evan, my second child – my body weight was all over the place.

After roughly two hours of walking through dirt and hills, along paths and forest floors, I'm surprised how clean they look. ;)
I went on a hike today, and because of this week's Flickr Friday, I was on the lookout for bugs. I found this little guy hanging around and thought it was a great opportunity to use my macro tubes. The end result was nicely creepy.
This image was taken in RAW and processed in Darktable in Linux.
you judge.... perhaps a small problem with the corpus callosum?

El dÃa antes vine a este lugar y me gustó mucho para trenes cortos, al dÃa siguiente, decidà ir por la tarde a por el papelero que veis en la imagen para ver que tal está por las tardes para lo que va a Portugal, y también me gustó bastante.
El resultado es el que veis en la imagen, la 6007 con el Espartal-Vilar Formoso dejando atrás Salamanca, al fondo el túnel de la Alamedilla.
Saludos al maquinista por el saludo.
