This is a combination of two exposures taken one after the other. The sky exposure was taken at f/1.8, 6400 ISO, and 10 seconds, and the foreground was taken at f/5, ISO 10,000, and 30 seconds.
At f/5, the details in the foreground for the fence that was closest to the lens and tripod, are sharper then the exposure at f/1.8.
Happy Fence Friday

I am not generally that successful at bird photography even when I have consciously gone out to see birds. This shot of the chaffinch was pure luck. Mary and I were on a walk recently I had taken a shot or two of some wild flowers . I spotted the bird and took a couple of shots without changing settings not really expecting anything reasonable. In fact I am quite pleased with this one I know it could be sharper but for a grab shot its not too bad . It is very heavily cropped
Hope you are all managing to cope in this strange New World we are living in . Of course I hope you and yours remain well and safe
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

I saw her out the corner of my eye. I moved 5 ft. from the edge. I snapped off about 5 quick shots. She leaned back and pushed up after about 10 seconds. Definitely could have been steadier and sharper, but I hate heights.
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??

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.
This old couple had a good workout swimming across Yellowstone's Firehole River. Needed a rest before they slowly moseyed on.
Sorry there aren't any Buffalo in America....:
"It’s easy to understand why people confuse bison and buffalo. Both are large, horned, oxlike animals of the Bovidae family. There are two kinds of bison, the American bison and the European bison, and two forms of buffalo, water buffalo and Cape buffalo. However, it’s not difficult to distinguish between them, especially if you focus on the three H’s: home, hump, and horns.
Contrary to the song “Home on the Range,” buffalo do not roam in the American West. Instead, they are indigenous to South Asia (water buffalo) and Africa (Cape buffalo), while bison are found in North America and parts of Europe. Despite being a misnomer—one often attributed to confused explorers—buffalo remains commonly used when referring to American bison, thus adding to the confusion.
Another major difference is the presence of a hump. Bison have one at the shoulders while buffalo don’t. The hump allows the bison’s head to function as a plow, sweeping away drifts of snow in the winter. The next telltale sign concerns the horns. Buffalo tend to have large horns—some have reached more than 6 feet (1.8 meters)—with very pronounced arcs. The horns of bison, however, are much shorter and sharper. And, if you want to throw a B into the mix, you can check for a beard. Bison are the hipsters of the two animals, sporting thick beards. Buffalo are beardless." Britannica.com

I took this for a contest but didn't use it, and only got around to processing it yesterday. I don't usually take this kind of shot, preferring to be outdoors, but the light through the window was perfect for experimenting! No flash or reflectors... I wouldn't know how to use them hehe. Just a little tinkering in photoshop. I wish it was a tiny bit sharper, but otherwise I'm happy :-)
Thanks so much for looking!
My 'Seduction' floribunda rose.
A Meilland rose from France.
Bred in France by the renowned rose grower Alain Meilland and released in 1988. 'Seduction' stands out in the garden like no other rose.
This is actually a re-edit of a previously posted 'Seduction' rose, with sharper details and a softer bokeh. Hence it is my 'New Seduction'.

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)
Yep, going from one extreme to the other... from finding the lens too big, to finding that same lens not big enough for a super-close-up of this Anna's hummingbird's wonderful tiny feet... Oh well, there is always something to complain about but one can view large for more detail. I wonder if "tiny feet" is suitable for the regular Monday Macro Flickr Theme? :) Press L for larger/sharper view.
WE 215 heads west through Bolivar in a downpour just after midnight on Oct. 13, 2020. I wish I could have gotten this shot sharper, but that's always the gamble at f/1.4.

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

Every single one of us

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

Every single one of us
Here comes the woman

She's raised on leather

This tiny (spotless) ladybug is smaller than the tip of a pencil eraser. The capture was made by adding a +4 close-up lens to the front of a Canon 18-135 IS USM lens on a Canon 77D. Sure, a high-end true macro lens may have been a bit sharper but $$750 vs $5? You can expand your photographic capabilities without breaking the bank. Follow my blog to see more tips and tutorials.

This is certainly not the first time that one of my sharper flight-shot images clips a wing. Keeping the bird in focus and in the viewfinder is challenging.
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.
Though they may not look very ferocious, both the larvae and adults of the green lacewing will eat about any small insect they come across. I tried doing a focus stack for this shot and it surprisingly turned out pretty decent. Hopefully I could do this for some of my future photos to give you guys some sharper shots :)
Green lacewing
Chrysopidae sp.
Some Cooshie-doos from a misty and frosty morning. Judging by the slightly brownish tinge to the wing coverts and the worn state of the primaries, these were birds born last year. Adults would have darer primaries with a sharper white fringe and the coverts would be a purer "dove" grey
sharper on black

If I would of been thinking I would of corrected my shutter speed before this flight shot. we were just standing there waiting for him to take off. If I would of done that I think the wing tips would be a lot sharper. The shutter speed was set to 1/640 of a second and that is good if they are sitting in a tree not moving much but not good for a wing flapping flight shot. Oh well it is what it is, I like the big stick in its talons.
RKO_4267. Another successful dive! Satisfied with the result but it could have been a little sharper in my opinion. What doe you think?
Monitoring, preparing, anticipating and pre-focussing and waiting for a Kingfisher dive is one, taking some good sharp shots prior, during or directly after a dive is second! The whole process is really fun!

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.
Replaced this by a sharper view (although still not pin sharp),
and also it ends up in colour as this enhances the small bit of interior that I was able to capture from the auditorium.
Sharper than a motherfucker
We gettin' money like a motherfucker

-Sister´s time-
As terrible as the Saracen’s were to the Italian coastal inhabitants there may never have been the many beautiful hill towns without them, usually after some devastating attack or another the sharper among the survivors decide to pick up stakes and move inland such is the case with the founding of Martina in the 10th century after one particularly nasty attack on Taranto.
Martina Franca didn’t receive its last name until the 14th century with the region ruling Anjou dynasty granting the city feudal rights to Pietro del Tocco and a tax free franchise to anyone that would settle the area thereby giving Martina its last name Franca derived from the franchise used to attract citizens, the town prospered with its franchise over the next century soon becoming a walled city with 4 city gates and 24 towers to guard their prosperity.
Pictured here is the Palazzo dell'Università the former seat of 15th century local government with the Torre Civica a recent addition in the 17th century all situated in Piazza Maria Immacolata next to the Duomo this square is the heart of the city where most important events begin or end and the meeting place to discuss the gossip of the day.
I took this on Sept 27, 2016 with my D750 and Nikon 24-85 f3.5-4.5 Lens at 24mm 1/1600s f/4.5 ISO 250 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

A side view of the same dried thistle in my "studio", previously shown shot from the top (see comment below) - I guess a bit tidier as well as "sharper" this time.
Perfect evening watching the sun setting, the light fading and the shadows getting longer. Only regret is that I didn’t have a tripod to make the image sharper.

Contractor Norman Hudson and some of his faithful crew inspect an infinity pool at an estate near Windsor, California. The infinity pool is not draining as it should. Another worker is repairing ArcusStone cement tiles under the watchful supervision of one of the owner's dogs.
In 2017 I took two photos of this pool, which are now all together with this one in the album conveniently called "Infinity Pool Near Windsor." At this time. I did not know what an infinity pool was. Blame it on my humble socioeconomic standing.

Contractor Norman Hudson called me on February 18, 2021 to tell me he was in line to get the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. He died two days later, at 77 years of age. He thus fulfilled his often-expressed desire never to retire.
Neotinea ustulata (burnt orchid, Brandknabenkraut), Antanges, Waadt, Switzerland. My first published orchid picture 2017. This time using a proper macro lens. The difference in sharpness is evident!
I wish this shot had been sharper but I am still fairly pleased with it. It was taken handheld on a boat that was really rocking on the waters below the cliffs of Raasay . We had to cross the Raasay sound to find the birds and what a joy it was to see these magnificent raptors for the first time . Good that they are back in British skies after been extinct for almost a century . It was a good job I was using digital took over 120 shots and only three were usable not a good ratio
The UK’s largest bird of prey, the white-tailed eagle is sometimes known as the 'sea eagle', and preys on fish, mammals and small birds. It was persecuted to extinction in the UK, but reintroduced from Norway during the 1970s. Today, around 150 pairs now nest in Scotland. Both parents tend to the one or two chicks that hatch each year.
A massive and impressive bird of prey, the white-tailed eagle has broader wings than the golden eagle, with which it shares its home. Its wingspan is about eight feet. Adults have a white, wedge-shaped tail and a pale head with a yellow bill. They are more likely to be found near the coast than the golden eagle.
