An uncommon visitor to SLO County has been around for several months now. I captured him feeding on a cactus fruit. You can see the hole where he was feeding just below him on the left.
ok, it's one of the Reflection Lakes, but that duck was amazing. It was like it had it's own light beam on it. Darling Tonia had been waiting in the warm car came up behind me and asked how much I paid it to bolt through. :)
This Black-streaked Puffbird was seen along the birdwatching hotspot of Manu Road in Peru. It was perched in an inconspicuous location, as is characteristic of members of its family while they wait for a food item to appear. As the guidebook “Birds of Peru” by Schulenberg et al (Princeton University Press) puts it succinctly: “Rare to uncommon (difficult to detect) in understory of humid montane forest.”
Nicknamed the Silver Streak, the Pioneer Zephyr was an ultimately failed attempt to save the passenger rail industry as Americans moved to individual motor vehicles. With its streamlined body and Art Deco style, it offered a new level of speed and comfort when it began service in 1934. Using new diesel-electric engine technology, innovative construction to reduce weight, and a lower center of gravity, it was able to complete a speed run from Denver to Chicago in 13 hours; the famous "Dawn-to-Dusk" speed run of May 26, 1934.
This wonderfully restored train is on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois where you can go on the cars and see all of the luxury finishes.

1980s expired Ektachrome 64 shot in an Ondu 6x17 pinhole camera. Developed and scanned (rescued, even?) by Boutique Film Lab
I took this picture in Corbett national park, India. Got lucky with the light showing the colours of nicely.
I get a lot of questions asked by email if my captures are combined or single frames (the dynamic ones). Since shooting in RAW for the past two plus years, 99.9% of my captures are single captures, just taking full advantage of the details in the shadows and pulling down the highlights a bit in Lightroom from the RAW file. The dynamic range there is pretty amazing.
This capture here though is two captures combined. The main capture is the EXIF data here at 30 seconds and f/8 @ ISO 100. When the capture ended the histogram showed the highlights just a little blown out in the sky. So I took a second capture at 15 seconds and the histogram looked perfect ... right at the edge but not blowing out any highlight details. So the sky in this frame is from the 15 second shot.
Both shutter speeds did some nice magic on the bubbles I saw on the surface of the river as it was flowing by. The 30 second exposure also had just a hint more details in the darker shadow areas, so here is one of the few occasion where combing to exposures worked well just to get a hint more dynamic range ... yet getting the light and scene to match pretty close to what my eye at least remembers seeing.
The other time I may combine different exposures is not for dynamics, but for movement ... in some cases the longer exposure works well smoothing the water flow, but the clouds may not, so combining works well there ... and also for waterfalls where this is a lot of breeze ... longer for the water, and then shorter so the leaves are not moving. Food for thought there.
... and I could have also taken the capture above in one shot, just taking it at f/11 and 30 seconds, would have not blown out the sky. Something I should have done ... but I was ready to move on to the next spot on the river and did not want to lose time and sunset light that was about to begin.

To borrow from a great Ian Anderson lyric, the sun streaked cold across the sky on this morning in Michigan.

513) Streak Eared Bulbul
Streak Eared Bulbul, Pycnonotus conradi, Merbah Telinga Luris
A locally common resident bulbul in northern part of Peninsula Malaysia. When shooting this it never occurred to me it is a lifer. Then, after checking my lifers list, it is actually lifer for Bulbul no 24 and birding lifer no 513. Glad i am not deleting it during the birding trip. Fuhhhhhh!
