This week in SSC: SOOC (straight out of camera)
For this challenge, I finally got a chance to use a camera that I bought last winter. I got it especially for capturing wildlife since it has a 50x zoom. (I did no editing to this photo.) Mr. Woody was quite a distance away and I was shooting in digital zoom so I was surprised this even turned out. I just love wood ducks!
And for Sight and Sound

The story: We were away last week, staying at a motel, when this topic came up. Always up for a challenge, I grabbed their corkscrew and my tiny Lumix TZ220, which has a digital macro zoom setting. Their kitchenette was dark so I tilted myself around so that the light from the window in the next room, provided the back lighting, thus putting the corkscrew almost in shadow with the sharp section highlighted. Amazing what you can achieve when you need to. 😀
I heard this hunter take the bird in the sky as i was leaving work...pulled out of my lot, and seen this in the neighboring businesses yard
Judging by its size and the skinny legs, I'm guessing a Sharpie! Feel free to correct me if you think otherwise.
Kenton County, KY, 11-24-18. I don't often see these, especially in my backyard. This one stayed nearly motionless for about an hour in the same spot.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Captured up close, I loved the sharp focus of this woman looking down the street and was so pleased to get some sharp focus of my own for the image.
This is the same woman I captured 'Turning Around' here flic.kr/p/MHyk6A. She had such a strikingly beautiful profile but I was so pleased to, unusually for me, click the shutter again when she turned around. Enjoy!

This is the new shopping centre in Las Vegas. The building on the right is a Prada store. I took a similar shot in a different orientation which I will put in the comments.
The word "sharp" has a number of definitions. The one (and the only one) we are using for this week's theme is "having an edge or point that is able to cut or pierce something".

Those little things that you stick in the ends of your corn cob so you don't get your fingers messy. In theory anyway.
I can correct the x-axis geometric distortion easily in Photoshop but that adds curvature to the y-axis distortion which seems impossible to correct properly. Because the land falls away sharply on every side of the tower, there is no alternative but to angle the camera or maybe buy a 10 mm lens.... Any thoughts out there?
The tower sits, fenced in a small enclosure at the apex of a hill with the lands sloping sharply away on all sides. The trees that used to come close to one side have been cleared but even so there is no obvious way (apart from buying a drone cam) to get the Prop and much of a sunset into shot. I do not have a 10 mm lens for my R6mkII...yet, but geometric distortion would be even worse. Of course one could climb into one of the adjoining fields with a2 m high self-standing ladder....but.....not very practical.
The Prop of Ythsie (pronounced “Icy”) is a striking local landmark which stands on the Hill of Ysthie just east of the village of Tarves. The stone tower is visible from many points in the surrounding area of Formartine, including from parts of the Estate. It was built by the tenantry of Haddo in memory of the 4th Earl of Aberdeen, paying tribute to the extensive improvement works he carried out on the Estate for the local residents. It is still in family ownership, though it is maintained by Aberdeenshire Council for the benefit of its numerous visitors. In years gone by a flag was flown from the top of the Ythsie Tower to herald the beginning of the curling season at the Haddo House Curling Club. haddoestate.com/history/heritage/prop-of-ythsie/
An interesting experience as I was able to walk quite close as I passed this Sharp-shinned Hawk. It may have been distracted by all the alarm calls from the Chickadees in the tree and general area. I stood back watching for a few minutes and the hawk eventually flew off.
Thank you for viewing.

I had taken the day off work to explore the Dart and Teign valleys looking for autumnal leaves. However I couldn't resist rising an hour or so early to perch myself on top of Sharp Tor, overlooking the Dart valley, to see what sunrise had in store.
Ever heard of the Ever-Sharp? Me either. I’m always pleasantly surprised when I see a “Chicago Cluster” camera that I’ve never seen before, and especially happy when I can add it to my collection!
These are my favorite regular-size staples, Swingline SF4. Very sharp and extra strong, they turn any common office stapler into a powerhouse.
Just preparing to launch
I saw him fly in and land. I went for my camera.
I couldn't open the door - he would be gone in an instant.
I shot him through double panned windows. I took 18 shots and this was the 19th. I saw him spread his wings and fly through the view in my camera. The 20th shot was a bare branch.
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 e 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!

Accipiter striatus,
Perched in the neighbor's yard,
Morro Bay, California
I saw this Accipiter fly over me and noticed its long, straight-tipped tail as it landed. I treid to sneak close enough to get a photo and, after getting out into the open for many minutes and knowing I had to be obvious to the keen-eyed bird, I got quite close. It perched for most of an hour before moving on.
