doppelter Bildstabilisator - aufgenommen freihand mit dem LEICA DG Vario-ELMAR 100-400 und 2fach-optischem Zoom der Lumix G9 mit 1/25 sec und 3200 ISO- das entspricht einer auf Kleinbild bezogenen Brennweite von 1600mm. Um damit verwacklungsfreie Aufnahmen zu erreichen, müßte man ohne Bildstabilisator etwa 1/1600sec. belichten. Kamera und Objektiv haben einen eigenen Bildstabilisator, beide zusammen ermögliche dann eine solche Aufnahme. Das Motiv hat eine Größe von ca. 3x4cm und ist Teil einer Bronze-Plastik.

 

double image stabilizer - taken freehand with the LEICA DG Vario-ELMAR 100-400 and 2x optical zoom of the Lumix G9 at 1/25 sec and 3200 ISO - this corresponds to a focal length of 1600mm in 35mm. To achieve blur-free shots with this, you would have to expose for about 1/1600sec without image stabilizer. Camera and lens have their own image stabilizer, both together make such a shot possible. The subject has a size of about 3x4cm.

 

A Fairly Small Community

 

Fairies have appeared in folklore for centuries and can be found in the traditional stories of many cultures around the world.

 

While modern fairies are often portrayed as tiny winged beings living among flowers and mushrooms, older folklore described them in many different ways—sometimes helpful, sometimes mischievous, and occasionally both at the same time!

I never imagined to look at grasses like this.

Here is an insect collecting pollen from grasses in the Meadow.

Sweet violets, sweeter than all the roses

covered all over from head to toe

covered all over with sweet violets

 

My Mother used to sing this to me when she took me out to search for the tiny flowers growing wild under hedgerows in Kent. The photo was taken in my garden this morning...oh joy to spot it self-sown in a bowl among sedums on the water butt.

I was born in May, and so was my first child, Candida, to whom I would also sing this little verse. Her birthday is today, so it seems especially appropriate to dedicate this image to her.

Kalle bummelt ein wenig durch Arrecife. Das kleine Städchen gefällt Ihm sehr gut.

Showing the enduring influence of Vivienne Westwood. How many decades ago did she first turn inner wear into high fashion outer wear?

Week 3 Theme

Small Things (Jan 11 - Jan 17)

I love weird little things; we have a bunch of these shelves I call “Small Things Shelves” and I’m always hunting for other weird little bits that catch my eye. I can’t wait for flea market season to come around again, I just know at the bottom of a dusty cardboard box there is treasure waiting for me.

On Explore

Lately I've been so busy ... haven't been active on Flickr ... you know... blame it on holidays :) But I'll cath up all your work !!

 

♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪

Sometimes small things

Can change the way you feel about life

And it's all so different now

You make it so clear

Whenever you're near

 

I've opened my eyes

Seen the dawn in a deep blue sky

We could fly we could try

To be something special girl

Something beautiful

 

Sweet joy

I like it sweet joy you bring

Don't change it one single thing ...

Bull ants - from somewhere around Exmouth, Western Australia..

 

According to the Australian Museum, they are "large, alert ants that can grow up to 40 mm (more than one and a half inches [1.5748 inches]), with characteristic large eyes, long, slender mandibles (jaws) and a potent venom-loaded sting. I can attest to the sting bit.

Später am Tage ist es soweit, Kalle möchte ins Meer. Wenn er schon am Atlantic ist möchte er auch schwimmen.

On later afternoon Kalle will do it. If he is already at the Atlantic ocean, he want to swim there.

Have to say I think Dior made a poor choice here! Hopefully before his domestic violence case gained traction in the courts. Real men don't beat up on women.

Has the world gone mad, or is it me?

All these small things they gather round me

Gather round me

Is it all so very bad, I can’t see

Oh all these small things they gather round me

Gather round me

And I can't see.

Debarked tree root with bark and leaves, near Batemans Bay.

 

Actually on a punishing track that took us out to a wind-tossed headland. We stood on what I am sure was a crumbling edge & looked down on waves crashing over a rock platform way below. All the vegetation was stunted. What surprised me about this root sticking up out of the track (note the photographer's foot with sore toe) was that it had bark so was more like part of the trunk or a branch. Stringy bark do this - push their branches underground - as a conservation strategy, so perhaps this tree was doing similar.

Small Things (Jan 11 - Jan 17)

 

It is a small thing but it has become a fun daily event wondering if the albino pigeon will show up today. Any distraction of a positive sort is such a blessing.
