On April 29th I started my day at 2:45 am. I drove with three friends to a lek in Southern Alberta. We had to be in the blind by 5 am. It sure took a long time before there was enough light to take photos. We could hear the grouse. They were making many sounds and we could see their outlines in the dark. It was another great day. The last time I was out there was two years ago.
I was using a brand new camera so I had many photos to delete and of course far too many photos over all. Most photos were only cropped. I didn't adjust any colors. Some photos are not even cropped.
Thanks for your visits and comments. They are all greatly appreciated!
Sharp-tailed Grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus) displaying on a lek in the prairie grasslands of west central Saskatchewan, Canada.
Courtship display or "dancing" usually begins at first light but photography was not feasible until the sun started to peak over the horizon. When they are actively displaying they will drum their feet while scurrying across the ground, and this drumming can be heard, under calm conditions, for quite a distance from the lek or "dancing grounds". Activity will intensify when a female wanders through the dancing grounds or lek.
They would continue displaying for about a couple of hours then disperse across the grassland pasture to feed and rest.

This is a matte remover my husband and I bought to help us care for our Persian cat's impossible fur. It's stored with a plastic guard over the blades. I like how the bit of fur shows up in this photo, illustrating what it's for as well as contrasting with the sharpness of the blades.
Super sharp Nikon D4 photos of a surf goddess! At ISO 200, the shutter speeds were bteween 1/2000 s and 1/5000 s! Thanks to the super-fast Nikon D4 full-frame!

First time out with the Nikon D4 & the AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR with Nikon’s VR image stabilization and Nano Crystal Coat! & a video camera! Here're some pictures of my rig: www.flickr.com/photos/herosjourneymythology45surf/7688611...
The video camera I had mounted on the rig is the amazing image-stabilized Panasonic X900MK 3MOS 3D Full HD SD Camcorder. Here's some of the slow-mo video shot at the same time as the stills:

Rock on Surf City USA!
The Nikon D4 is amazing! It never misses a shot! And the 600mm nikkor prime was amazingly fast! I shot at ISO 200 fully open at F4 and many of these photos were shot at 1/4000 s or 1/5000 s! Amazingly sharp & detailed!

May the goddesses inspire you along a hero's journey of your own making! :)
This juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk came for a visit on my back fence. A bluejay has his attention and is working hard to get him out of the area.
Looking for sharpness and contrast across the frame – and finding it! The RX100M5 delivers. This is at f/2.8, but really, it's more like f/8, so it's not very surprising.
But I don't know if it's also T/2.8, because the ISO is only 160, at a 1/50 sec exposure in indoors light, so the image is very clean and noise free.
No material CA or any kind of magenta / green fringing, even at high contrast edges. This is an exceptionally well corrected lens with a proven record over at least the last three generations of this camera.

baby brother of the classic 4 speaker GF777 found at the recycling centre and may be used as part of my DJ set at this years Shambala festival.I find old vinyl records and vintage equipment for a recycled, renewable wheelbarrow disco down in Dorset, UK! I love posting interesting audio and decor on flickr.com to see what sort of response the items receive. You can follow highlights of the 'finds' on my twitter just follow 'joimson'
This well travelled vehicle from Sharpes Coaches of Nottingham, was leaving Dover Eastern Docks while on its way back from Europe, and is more colourful than the one they brought last week: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/54587422624.
Sharp PC-1500 pocket computer from the early 1980's - considered very powerful in its day. It replaced the famous PC-1211/ PC-1212, although the 1500 was much larger.

Test shot with Leica APO TELYT 280/4 + Novoflex LER-NEX adapter + Sony NEX-5. Shot at f/4, hand-held, focus by looking at the full image on the LCD (not live view at pixel-level).
Printed text is usually a good subject to see how sharp the image is. My goal here was to see how accurately I could focus outdoors on a bright day with the little LCD back on the Sony NEX-5, with this huge lens hand held and without using live view.
Against all odds, this combination has worked surprisingly well. The lettering on the sign came out very nicely, can't complain. But what really surprised me was the clarity and sharpness of the leaves on the tree. I had not expected that!
That was the first real sign that the Leica APO TELYT 280/4 was a special lens.
