Sharp-shinned hawks, members of the Accipiter family, are skilled hunters known for capturing songbirds, small mammals, and larger insects. These hawks prefer nesting in old spruce trees and thrive in wooded habitats. With 21 to 25-inch wingspans and weights of 3.5 to 6 ounces, they are crucial in maintaining ecological balance, making them invaluable to our ecosystem.
Shot with Nikon D850 / Tamron 24-70 G2. All photos are low light and not particularly sharp. Taking photos on a moving parade float was rather challenging.

I learned about the Montessori method and its focus on self directed activity by children while shooting these images for a friend who is thrilled to be fulfilling a longstanding dream to open a school of her own. We will certainly do a shoot with kids next to add more life and appeal to what will become brochure ware for The Earth School in Bangalore - an element I wish we had right away. That said, it was great fun to explore low angles, common objects, and tabletop photography of the bento box style activity trays for the kids.

Also another attempt at a six word story.
I was setting up for what promised to be a nice shot of some robins feeding on cherries, when they all fled. This hawk was to blame, but she perched, briefly, in compensation.

Super Takumar 55mm is proving to be as sharp as modern primes. But is sharp or soft version more pleasing?
My friend took me on an excursion to do some street photography. To compare my vintage Super Takumar against the modern Sigma 30 Art.
Plain yet lethal gate in the city, with sharp and pointy bits along the horizontal bars. Maybe to prevent people climbing over. It is actually the gate to a funeral director's, but I guess they need to deter people from breaking in, just as much as anyone else.

Believe it or not, this was shot from the door of my tent. As you can tell from the light, I slept in, but it worked out. The barring on the longest head feathers is pretty indicative of a female sharp-tailed grouse.
