When Rivers Meet

Autumn Photography

I've still got a few reasonable shots from Vancouver's first-ever Harajuku Fashion Walk, but I think this is a good one to stop with as, for me, it really gets the feeling of the event: colourful and fun. Thanks for the last-minute message to get me out with the camera, NJ! Vancouver Convention Centre, downtown Vancouver. February 20, 2016.

Macro image captured at Mt Penang Gardens in Kariong on the Central Coast of NSW, Australia.

Maybe not dancing shoes but shoes nonetheless, sitting there waiting for the new owner.

Taken with an ancient Konica Minolta Dynax 7D digital camera and even older Minolta AF 50mm F1.7 lens.

👋 Thank you all for pushing this photo into Explore at #348 at one point in time. Yay!

the peculiar bokeh is caused by the 2-blade aperture (@ f4) from a refitted F.Zuiko 32mm f1.7

Singing outside our bedroom window, on a very dull day, in Norfolk.

Taken through the double glazing. ISO 1250.

We have new deck lights strung up for the summer festivities. What better way to create some wonderful shallowness!

PA-Shallow Depth of Field

Signs of Fall

Bokeh style

Experimental:) I was fascinated by the shadow pattern on the foreground leaf and the background pattern created by the a shallow depth of field

So that is the first week of my 50 photos in 50 days on a 50mm lens.

The good thing about some props is getting to drink them.

HFF!

Areas between Swakopmund and Walvisbay have been fenced to protect the Damara tern. Off -road vehicles and quad-biking has been limited to ensure the birds can nest.

Damara Tern ( Sterna balaenarum) - 23 cm. Small, very pale tern. Adult has black cap extending onto nape and very pale grey back. In flight, black triangular wing tip runs from the carpal to primary tip.

Justification

This species is listed as Near Threatened owing to its moderately small population. If this is found to be undergoing a decline, the species may qualify for uplisting to a higher threat category.

Threats

Land claim, dredging and hotel construction threaten some feeding areas; off-road vehicles may destroy nests particularly as the breeding season coincides with peak human activity on beaches in summer.
