Speckled bush cricket (a young larva) after a walk through the flower of a evening primrose. Then she cleaned the feelers of the pollen. These are pulled several times with the help of the forefoot through the "mouth".

The Beachcomber or ‘Stone Me’ and Others
I have over the years come across a few of these stone characters, and not only confined to the East Coast of England where I found the majority. They have been discovered in The States, France and Kent. A bit of a random order I know. Some have come home with me but in the main I have left them in situ. No stones were harmed in the making of these images and the ones who did come home did it willingly.
There has been a development, I have noticed faces looking at me embedded in other materials. I know, a bit left field. But I thought they needed to be identified. I haven’t yet seen any walls with ears but you never know. Is ‘Big Brother’ still watching?

The red light here comes from the bowling sign as seen on the previous photo. I wanted to take a photo of the red sign from a different angle, but it was not possible because the area was fenced in. Anyway I turned the camera and took this one. It was complete dark but if I moved a little bit, a sensor would register it and a lamp would turn on and the area would be flooded in white light.
I'm pleased with the result. It has a certain mood. And I'm glad it is in focus.
Gawdy Sensor Ship
Plenty of sensors on this one including those ostentatious radars, a spinny round thing and a non-spinny round thing. All a little overblown?

Sunset in Sa Rapita
I had read about this camera (Canon PowerShot SX70 HS) and its great superzoom, 1360mm equivalent in 35mm.
I thought it would be a good choice for shooting birds into the distance and to avoid to carry on my heavyweight Tamron 150-600mm lens.
It was a great error. Please, DON'T BUY THIS CAMERA !!!!
The camera has not a good aperture and the maximun speed is only 1/2000s. Anyway I bought it.
After to try it, the results have been horrible.
Its sensor is very small and the noise in every photo is too big, EVEN SHOOTING at ISO 200.
Moreover, the sharpness in photos is not good, and is worse after edition to trying to correct the noise.
The incredible combination of a modern small smartphone sensor from a 3x camera module (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) in combination with Lightrooms AI denoise feature (or the one from Camera RAW in Photoshop or Bridge)
Just look at the parasols in the background
What a luck!!
I wanted to get this beautiful DC-8 since 3 weeks, and it was one of the last occasions to see it since it goes back to Palmdale, its home base, this week-end!
So we drove to Ramstein Air Base to see it, and DAMN, what a day!!
This ray of sun went on the plane at the exact right time :D
This is a test plane for NASA, and is equipped with several sensors to make atmoshperic researchs.

Beaver Pond, along the Vloman Kill, at the end of winter in the town of Bethlehem, located in upstate New York. Image taken with a Hasselblad Stellar (a pocket point-and-shoot camera, not a full-fledged Hasselblad) -- essentially a Sony RX100 with a fancy (but helpful) grip and Hasselblad branding. Very useful as a lightweight camera.
Troika in der Langen Foundation in Neuss
Schon seit längerem wendet sich die Langen Foundation in Neuss-Holzheim ambitionierten jüngeren Positionen in unterschiedlichen Medien zu, die sich mit den drängenden Fragen unserer Zeit beschäftigen. Die dreiköpfige deutsch-französische Gruppe „Troika“ nun befragt die soziale Fragilität ebenso wie den Wandel des Klimas mit den Neuen Medien und im Besonderen der Akustik der Umwelt in den verschiedenen Frequenzen des hörbaren Spektrums. „Troika“ arbeitet mit ihren Installationen und Einzelwerken die Beziehungen zwischen Technologie und Natur, alltäglicher Umwelt und Ruhezuständen und unserer sensorischen Wahrnehmung von all dem heraus.

Another shot I took of San Simeon when I was having problems with my camera exposure sensor. This is one of my favorite places to visit.

For the Macro Mondays Theme: "Photography Gear"
WARNING: Don't try this at home!!!
Note: No real harm was done and the sensor and camera survived the (photoshop) experiment without any scratch or (water)damage 😉 Thanks for your concerns...
Thank you very much for your time, faves and comments. It's much appreciated.
Happy Macro Mondays
Even though there is a little bit of blue sky, it was pretty dark (for afternoon), very dim light. The weather was coming from behind, super dark low clouds and it was just minutes before it started raining. That's one of those 'just do it' panoramas, but I took the chance despite the light cause it's not the old days anymore, this is besides a well-trodden path and so when the weather is nice, it's ..touristy by now. 😕 Would like to do this location with better conditions one day, the lake takes on all sorts of beautiful green tones (at least on the visible spectrum) due to the forest around.
Source for this is a 4 piece panorama, 12567 x 5520px, ~69,4MP, but cropped a little, to give the lake center stage.
There is some fringing going on against the sky (not a huge fan), which is in part due to the lens I think, but I'll spare you the rant.
It was also the time when I (finally) decided to jump on AdobeRGB as long as I'm lossless with the D3300, ran the D90 with an sRGB chain for IR.
Monochrome conversions turned out nice, did not offer anything distinct however, were just like regular b&w. Overall, field of view is about 180°. 👀

On a rainy evening, the "Popradské Pleso" lake in the Tatras mountains, Slovakia.
This shot was taken with a mobile phone, as my camera broke down at the very beginning of this trip. I locked the ISO setting of the phone to 100 ISO to try to get as much as possible out of the camera phone, and then resorted to post-processing to try to get a quality image.
For post-processing, I used darktable. I used non-local means denoising, and adjusted the tone curves to have a strong highlight in the center of the image. I use both the equalizer filter (in clarity mode) and the local contrast filter, with masks selecting the center of the image, to increase the contrast gradually toward the center. My goal was to make more visible the different layers of mountains.
Then, I worked a lot on the lower part of the image, the lake, to enhance the highlights in the reflection. For this, I started with a strong modification of the tone curves. However, this created a lot of noise as the sensor of the phone is not too good in the shadows. To fight this noise, applied a set of filters only on the lower part of the image: I used a stronger non-local means that I combined with a wavelet-based denoising (using the "profiled" denoising filter of darktables) as these have different types of artifacts. To cancel out the artifacts, I added to these a low-pass filter that smooths out the image. On top of this, I added artificial grain, to restore the grain of the image destroyed while smoothing.
Finally, I worked a bit on the clouds. I wanted to crop the top of the image, in order to focus more on the horizon line, but I was interested in the shapes of the cloud. So I used a liquify filter to warp these clouds down. Last, in a minor and classic trick, I created a vignetting-like effect by making the top and left clouds darker with a tone-curve filter.
These were taken with a 20-year-old Canon EOS D60 DSLR that I borrowed to try out. I used it with my own EF 50mm f1.4.
My first DSLR was the Canon D30, the model right before this one, and from there I upgraded to a 10D so I had never used a D60. It uses the same sensor as the 10D, though, and handles almost identically. The autofocus isn't quite as good but it gets the job done.

As is often the case, Frank has been drafted to model for yet another one of my photos. This time though, rather than a portrait, I wanted to shoot something more abstract. Capturing Frank's pale white fur and whiskers at macro magnification rendered this magnificent vibration sensor into an abstract forest of outstretched wisps. Chaotic but absolutely essential to him.

This is definitely the last Corbiere photo I upload.
I think this gives you the best idea of what the landscape looks like around Corbiere lighthouse.
I appear to have picked up dust on the sensor (detectable in the sky) which I might clone out later.
This is 3 exposures put together in Photomatix (-2,0,+2). As always with HDRs, the contrast has been boosted in Photoshop using the curves tool. The exposures range between about 4 secs and 0.5 secs on f22.
Corbiere is situated on the South-West corner of Jersey, in the Channel Islands.
We were koming back from a wonderful day out in the kar...and I was trying differents settings on the kamera and shooting to a "there's no words to describe it" sunset... and well .. when i get home... and downloaded the piks.. he or she.. this presence was there.. I never saw it when I took the pik...
