For Smile on Saturday sequence/progression

I was watching this Great Blue Heron as it was being bombarded by Red Wing Blackbirds. Caught this sequence of one being particularly annoying.

4 photos prises le même jour sur le même arbuste. 4 photos taken the same day on the same tree.

Smile on Saturday!:-)

A clip flic.kr/p/2nFjZLQ

Montage of 8 pictures

"Each fall, white-crowned sparrows hop off branches in Alaska and begin journeys toward California, Arizona, New Mexico and west Texas. On their trip of several weeks, flying mostly at night, the tiny songbirds may cut back on their sleep by two-thirds....

Rattenborg and his colleagues wanted to see if the white-crowned sparrows that were sleeping less during migration were punch-drunk while awake, so they set up a test in which birds learned and repeated a three-response sequence of key pecks. The caged birds performed best on the test during fall migration time, when they were getting the least sleep....

When urges to migrate kick in, white-crowned sparrows and other songbirds begin flying perhaps as much as 300 miles at night while staying active during the day. Their ability to navigate, avoid predators and find food in different locations while sleep-deprived is a mystery ..."

For "Smile on Saturday" ; theme : "sequence/progression".

The Carolina chickadee is a small passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is often placed in the genus Parus with most other tits, but mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data and morphology suggest that separating Poecile more adequately expresses these birds' relationships.(Wiki)

For Macro Mondays - Spiral.

Toyo 45G. Nikon 120mm/5.6 AM*ED Macro Lens. Ilford FP4+@100. B+W Yellow filter, 1-stop. F22 @ 1/125s. Normal development in Rodinal @1:25 for 9 minutes.

Single strobe with grid front left.

One can find both clockwise and counterclockwise spiral patterns in the sunflower seeds, and the number of seeds in a given spiral is a Fibonacci number - 34 and 55 are two adjacent numbers in the Fibonacci sequence that are often seen. For more information momath.org/home/fibonacci-numbers-of-sunflower-seed-spirals/.

Detail from the exterior of Scratchely's on the Wharf harbourside restaurant, here in Newcastle.

The restaurant is in fact owned by a neighbour of ours, Neil Slater - who recently extended and upgraded his business and it now seats 250 people.

The restaurant sits on what was once a concrete ferry wharf. It opened in 1989. The extension and upgrade, including this minimalist, abstract exterior was designed by EJE Architecture.

NB the Kestrel did not move forward at all - I've had to displace each picture to show the sequence of wing movements.

Ugh, this one took over four hours to setup. This shells are tiny. Cleaning the shells, selecting the right one, oiling them up, so they would not dry out during the set up was time consuming. More so, as the setup collapsed and shells hit the carpet and collected all kinds of fibers. I had to ditch the first attempts and start from scratch.

Oupss excusez moi, c'est plus fort que moi, le besoin impérieux de poster des photos de feuilles !

A group of people were jumping off this rock some distance away from where my kids were swimming at Boat Harbour Beach, Tasmania. I got this sequence of shots with a 400mm lens, so I thought i'd stitch them together.

I uploaded a similar image earlier in my photostream (about 10 images back).

While in Hope Town on Elbow Cay in the Bahamas we were able to ascend the lighthouse there. Built in 1862, it’s about 154 years old, and is still in operation. It is one of three remaining operational kerosene-fueled lighthouses in the world. It has a spring mechanism that has to be hand cranked every several hours to maintain the sequence of five white flashes every 15 seconds. The lamp burns kerosene oil with a wick and mantle. A large Fresnel lens, floating on a bed of mercury, focuses the light. It can be seen from 23 (43 km) nautical miles away.

Thanks to everyone for your visiting, favs & comments :).

It was a long-time dull drizzle and dark sky so I decided to use my 85mm 1.8 lens and didn't expect the birds to be so cooperative. Too short for telephoto I thougt. :)

Thanks to everyone for your visiting, favs & comments :).

Right place, right time. I have been very fortunate to be there to capture some fascinating events. They might not be technically the best images but what happened is still interesting.

Please watch as big as possible

These were 5 of a sequence of 18+ images. All were in critical focus. Even with small birds, the A9 tracks like nothing I've seen before. If you can focus and lock, it tracks.
