I've been a bird nerd for many years now, but for the life of me Sharp-Shinned vs. Cooper's still makes me foam at the mouth. From this moment onward I'm creating my own species (we seem to be living in an era of personal reality creating anyway). Which do you prefer, Coopshinned or Sharper's? Joking aside, anyone got any tricks to reliably tell them apart??
Brown Acres - Jackson County - Southern Oregon
So many in a row....rain, rain, go away. Leaves are falling everywhere as you can see on ground beyond picnic table....this leaf was stuck to table. Hint of tree reflections.
(cell phone shot)
Some time my cell phones takes best pictures ever, other time looks like HDR (HDR is locked) This is would have been great if it was sharper...oh well cell phone for ya (Old iPhone 6)
An old axe undergoing some blade rehab. Up close even what appears sharp is pretty ragged. As the old saying goes the most dangerous axe is a dull axe.
Shame this is not sharper but beggars can't be choosers. Apparently it's a ichneumon wasp on the flower and another kind of insect in flight ( I.D. please if anyone knows)
From archive last year winter visitor. Gorgeous little KIngy.
My gut feel is that the EM1 is sharper than EM1.2 when coupled with the 300f4.
Thank you my friends for popping by.
I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a beautiful weekend.
Thank you

For Monochrome Bokeh Thursday
I've been playing with multiple exposures and this is the first one I've liked enough to post. I realise the focus is soft, I would have liked it a little sharper but I quite like the soft dreamy look anyway...a lot to learn!

Here come the woman
With the look in her eye
Raised on leather
With flesh on her mind
Words as weapons
Sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die
How the other half die
Makes you wonder, wonder, wonder
Here come the man with the look in his eye
Fed on nothing but full of pride
Look at them go, look at them kick
Makes you wonder how the other half live
Devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Here come the world
With the look in its eye
Future uncertain but certainly slight
Look at the faces listen to the bells
It's hard to believe we need a place called hell
A place called hell
The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
Here comes the woman
With the look in her eye
She's raised on leather
With flesh on her mind
Words are weapons sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die
Devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Devil inside
Devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Devil inside
Devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Devil inside
Devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
The devil inside
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The devil inside
Yeah, yeah, yeah

For Looking Close... on Friday! Pencil sharper. I have spent the last week moving my home office, making up flat pack furniture and sorting drawers and paperwork. I had no idea I had more than one pencil sharpener.

#HighKey
I had a few ideas for "High Key" but got stuck with this one because I wanted to include rainbow/prism-coloured light reflections by all means. The sun shone brightly this Sunday, and when it had turned around enough to shine through the window next to my photo table, I took the glass prism and tried to catch a rainbow. Well, the rainbow reflection spread everywhere, on the wall and on the floor, but it was quite tricky to place the prism so that it would reflect the colours onto this dandelion seed head enclosed in a resin ball.
Now you might ask, "So where are the rainbow colours?", because in this image, there clearly are none. While I managed to finally place the prism so that it created a rainbow beam on my table (in front of which I put the paperweight), and it yielded the desired result, the photos I had taken before, without too much sunshine through the window, had simply turned out better exposed and sharper. So I discarded the rainbow idea, at least for now, and went for the technically better photo.
This paperweight sphere was handmade in Swansea, Wales, by Hafod Grange Paperweights, a company established in 1968. They have a range of two differently sized paperweights: "Delicate blooms and seed heads encased in flawless resin", as it is stated on their website. It beats me how they keep the flowers' or seed heads' fragile shapes when encasing them in the clear resin. This is what I found on Hafod Grange's website: "Clear polyester resin, containing a UV filter to stop fading, is used to embed the botanical specimens without destroying them, as molten glass would, and the globe shape allows the specimen to be seen in its beauty from all angles." It works. Beautifully so.
Make a wish, dear Flickr friends, and HMM!
Sharper moon images are out there but photographers working on a budget will be pleased to know that the lens for this shot was purchased on ebay a few years back for less than $50. A 500mm "Five Star" lens that may have other branding. This is a film era long lens not a telephoto, so an awkward 14" long. It does have a tripod mount so that helps and a T mount. It came with a 2x Vivitar tele converter...so 1000mm. This does require manual shooting but I recomend this all the time anyway.
I think I'm starting to become addicted to this monotone processing!
This time a darker blend of sepia with a more prominent brown colouring thrown in.
Many thanks to Thomas Shellberg for the original photo. A good use of wide aperture we can see that the edges of the land area are slightly blurred, which makes the eye focus more on the night sky. However on the flip side for my tastes I'd probably prefer the foreground to be sharper. Either way a nice composition.
Falco tinnunculus.
I do wish more of the bird was sharper, quite a bit of it is out the focal plane... nevermind.
Sharper than a motherfucker
We gettin' money like a motherfucker

Alfie enjoys himself in his basket by the window. Outside the rain is pouring down but he is nice and warm.
If you enlarge this image you'll see the raindrops and my Alfie sharper of course ;-)

Image is from my archives 11 years ago.
Or that’s what that far lichen reminds me of. Couldn’t get the focus any sharper as it was a bit of a miserable day.
Thanks for stopping
I guess this could have been sharper but the starburst was a pleasant surprise:-)
Have a great day everybody. I will catch up with you later today.
This dragonfly has been posing nicely all morning in the Wildlife Café. After a few hasty snaps, I was able to get the macro lens and tripod set up, which gave me the sharper picture you can see here. I think I have the i/d correct but I am happy to be proved wrong.

St Ninian's Isle, Shetland. No more tombolo scenery at this side, sharper scenery. The Atlantic has no mercy.
The Lancia Flaminia was introduced in late 1956 as a 1957 model to replace the aging Lancia Aurelia line. Whereas the Aurelia carried the rounded looks of its 1950s design heritage, the Flaminia looked forward to the sharper edges of the 1960s designs.
While Lancia made the mechanical underpinnings and Pinin Farina drew the basic design, coachwork was farmed out to Italy’s finest design and bodywork houses, including Zagato, Touring, Pininfarina and Ghia. This resulted in a number of different special editions, including a special aluminum-bodied fastback by Zagato.
The Flaminia debuted with 2458 cc V-6 engine rated at 98 hp and 137 lb-ft of torque. An optional high compression version of this engine was available for sedans and was installed as standard equipment on coupes and roadsters. The optional engine was rated at 119 hp on coupes and 140 hp on GT coupes and sedans. In 1963, Lancia upgraded the engine to 2775 cc and 150 hp. That engine was used through the end of the line, though the vast majority of Flaminia production happened between 1957 and 1963.
The Flaminia carried a four-speed transmission, and all were rear-wheel drive. Where the older Aurelias used a sliding block front suspension, the Flaminia used modern control arms and coil springs at the front end, but maintained the standard semi-elliptic leaf springs supporting a solid axle at the rear. Four-wheel disc brakes were standard on all Flaminias from the beginning of the line.
From the beginning, various coachworks supplied a variety of body styles under the Flaminia name. The original 1957 design was a pillarless four-door hardtop, but starting in 1958 Farina delivered a two-door coupe while Zagato offered a two-door fastback. There was aldo a two-door Spider convertible, and Touring made a two-door GT coupe as well. Through the 1960s, a variety of bodies continued to come and go. After 1967, production was limited to the original four-door hardtop, known by Lancia as a pillarless sedan.
Throughout the entire run, just 8,745 Flaminias were made. About 6,750 were delivered with the 2.5-liter V-6 engine, while about 2,000 were made after the larger 2.8-liter engine was introduced in 1963.
The Flaminia offered excellent performance for its day. Boasting 0-60 times of about 8.5 seconds and a top speed that could reach 130 mph, Lancia’s sports car was more than respectable. Prices started high, ranging between $6,000 and $7,000 through the early 1960s, but only rose as high as $7,600 in the mid-1960s for the most expensive sport coupe models. The vast majority of Lancia Flaminias hovered around $7,000. For reference, that was about half the cost of a Ferrari 250, and twice the price of a basic Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider in 1960.

I wish this was a sharper image, but I didn't use a tripod. Instead, it was taken through my windshield as Mark was driving down the road. A lot of my pictures are taken from the car window because if Mark had to stop the car every time I wanted to take a picture it would take us forever to get to our destination. I still thought it came out to be a good picture despite having to take it through a dirty windshield and while the car was in motion.
Northern Cardinal - It is a challenge to have the eye on focus in that type of position however, what I find funny is that how one is a bit sharper on the back feathers than the other. I assume it is the angle.

Macro Monday - Sweet spot squared
This was interesting as I quite often use f16 when I want everything in focus but went for f9 in the end for this shot as I felt the point of focus was slightly sharper (if I understand correctly, that was the point of this theme) I felt a bit like I was at the opticians...is it sharper or just closer...I'm never sure there either! ;)
I am slowly catching up after my weekend away. I am going away again in a few days so may not be on Flickr much for the next week, I will try to comment when I can but actually have a very busy few weeks ahead. HMM
