(Upupa epops)
The hoopoe is unique for its rufous plumage and large, often ruffled (photo), orange feathers with black tips.
This insectivore captures its prey by foraging in the ground with its long, curved beak, enabling it to detect prey without seeing it (insect larvae, crickets, earthworms, etc.). It needs insects in abundance, and its presence is a sign of good ecological health.
In winter, European hoopoes migrate to Africa.
La huppe fasciée est unique avec son plumage roux et sa grande huppe souvent hérissée (photo) en plumes oranges à bout noir.
Cet insectivore capture ses proies en fouillant le sol avec son long bec courbe qui lui permet de détecter des proies sans les voir (larves d'insectes, grillons, vers de terre...). Il lui faut des insectes en abondance, et sa présence est un indice de bonne santé écologique.
En hiver les huppes européennes migrent en Afrique.
Quick 5 shot pano of some amazing sunrays - view on black but dont look too hard for the joins :) clouds were moving fast!
Walking along the beach with my family, the sun decided to break through the dark clouds late in the day
Taken from a balcony of my hotel in Jamaica (beaches, sandy bay, Negril - highly recommended) Was taking a series of shots of the rising sun and this one captured, the sun, sea, yacht in the background, banana boat in the middle and beautfiul palm trees in the foreground... The balcony ceiling ledge acted almsot like a lens hood and just allowed my camera to pick up the sun rays rather than being blinded by glare... All in all I think it came out pretty well - the sepia one looks just as stunning..
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Oct '83 North east of Cannich. The last of my 6x4.5cm slides. After this all are 35mm again. I changed back in Oct '95 so I would have slides for competitions at my local photo club. My only mistake was going back to my old Nikon F2 gear, I should have moved up to the Contax RTS system, with its superior Zeiss glass.
Still plenty of slides to go at, before lockdown ceases and I can get back out with my Sony AR72.
It's only about 14 years ago that people were saying, "Digital will never be as sharp as film". We've come a long way in a short time. The 42mp A7R2 is sharper than my 6x4.5 slides, never mind 35mm!
