For me the point of making these particular types of Kinetic Photographs is that the camera is not in my hands or under my control when the photograph is actually made. I set the camera’s self-timer, throw the camera into the air (sometimes as high as 15 feet or higher), the shutter releases—capturing the photograph—while the camera is airborne, and I hope that I catch my camera without dropping it. The photographic cycle is complete and all that remains is for me to upload my shots and see what has been captured and how. I upload most of the photos in the same orientation in which they were captured.
None of these photos are Photoshopped, layered, or composites...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will fail to catch my camera and thus drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and my kinetic photography you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.
Albeit supremely risky this is one of my favorite ways to produce abstract photographs.

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.

Color My World Daily (BLACK and WHITE DAY on SUNDAY)
...the table is full of stuff......to be read, to be sorted out, to be put away and to be tossed. I don't like my home to be too perfect. It's not a hotel, it's a home and I like a lived-in look.
If I think of how long I will be dead compared to how long I will be alive, and then I take a step back and laugh at the top of my lungs.
I ask myself.. so now Im supposed to take that time and judge somebody's skin colour, sexual preference, religious or political point of views?
Fuck that I have a life to live!
Exercising a critical point of view and coming up with my own conclusions.
Peace to All.

Sometimes people put up walls not to keep people away - but to see who cares enough to tear those walls down

Birds. Yellow-Billed Stork. Kruger National Park. South Africa. May/2021
Yellow-Billed Stork
The yellow-billed stork (Mycteria ibis), sometimes also called the wood stork or wood ibis, is a large African wading stork species in the family Ciconiidae. It is widespread in regions south of the Sahara and also occurs in Madagascar
It is a medium-sized stork standing 90–105 cm (35–41 in) tall. The body is white with a short black tail that is glossed green and purple when freshly moulted. The bill is deep yellow, slightly decurved at the end and has a rounder cross-section than in other stork species outside the Mycteria. Feathers extend onto the head and neck just behind the eyes, with the face and forehead being covered by deep red skin. Both sexes are similar in appearance, but the male is larger and has a slightly longer heavier bill. Males and females weigh approximately 2.3 kg (5.1 lb) and 1.9 kg (4.2 lb) respectively.
Colouration becomes more vivid during the breeding season. In the breeding season, the plumage is coloured pink on the upperwings and back; the ordinarily brown legs also turn bright pink; the bill becomes a deeper yellow and the face becomes a deeper red.
Juveniles are greyish-brown with a dull, partially bare, orange face and a dull yellowish bill. The legs and feet are brown and feathers all over the body are blackish-brown. At fledging, salmon-pink colouration in the underwings begins to develop and after about one year, the plumage is greyish-white. Flight feathers on the tail and wing also become black. Later, the pink colouration typical of adult plumage begins to appear.
These storks walk with a high-stepped stalking gait on the ground of shallow water and their approximate walking rate has been recorded as 70 steps per minute.[3] They fly with alternating flaps and glides, with the speed of their flaps averaging 177–205 beats per minute.[3] They usually flap only for short journeys and often fly in a soaring and gliding motion over several kilometres for locomotion between breeding colonies or roosts and feeding sites. By soaring on thermals and gliding by turns, they can cover large distances without wasting much energy.[4] On descending from high altitudes, this stork has been observed to dive deeply at high speeds and flip over and over from side to side,[3] hence showing impressive aerobatics. It even appears to enjoy these aerial stunts.[4]
This species is generally non-vocal, but utters hissing falsetto screams during social displays in the breeding season.[4] These storks also engage in bill clattering and an audible “woofing” wing beat at breeding colonies[4] Nestlings make a loud continual monotonous braying call to beg parental adults for food.

Cegonha de Bico Amarelo
A cegonha-de-bico-amarelo (Mycteria ibis), às vezes também chamada de cegonha de madeira ou ibis de madeira, é uma grande espécie de cegonha africana da família Ciconiidae. É difundida em regiões ao sul do Saara e também ocorre em Madagascar
É uma cegonha de tamanho médio com 90–105 cm (35–41 in) de altura. O corpo é branco com uma cauda preta curta que é verde e púrpura logo após a muda. O bico é amarelo profundo, ligeiramente curvado no fim e tem uma seção transversal mais redonda do que em outras espécies da cegonha fora do família Mycteria. Penas se estendem até a cabeça e pescoço logo atrás dos olhos, com o rosto e a testa sendo cobertos por pele vermelha escura. Ambos os sexos são semelhantes na aparência, mas o macho é maior e tem um bico um pouco mais longo. Machos e fêmeas pesam aproximadamente 2,3 kg (5,1 lb) e 1,9 kg (4,2 lb), respectivamente. A coloração torna-se mais viva durante a época de reprodução. Na época de reprodução, a plumagem é de cor rosa nas asas e nas costas; as pernas normalmente castanhas também se tornam rosa brilhante; o bico se torna um amarelo mais profundo e o rosto se torna um vermelho mais profundo.

One day I was in the car paying attention to the rain drops running while my father was driving. All those drops look like crazy people challenging each other to see who would arrive faster. Sometimes, a little drop stops, until it gets closer to another one and they get together like two people trying hard to hold their hands and finishing with a good hug. And when they get together, it gets faster again, it gets powerful, until some bigger drop pass in front of them and change the way they were going by letting it's own way with water. All them drops leave some little drops of water in the midle of the way, they get weak sometime for losing so much water, but all the drops find another stronger drop to hold and keep going. But don't matter what happen, strong or weak, big or small, going fast or slow....it's funny to think... they all arrive at se same place in the end.

Additional thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
