Always doing the dance for capturing a better position. I did capture one underexposing the background but I like this one best. Opening up to f/4 is pushing it, easy to have blurry areas. Again, fill flash with high speed synch using a MagMod Sphere2.
am back home again but 'twill take me a bit of time to get back in synch with the time and to shake the germies that followed me home. meanwhile this is probably my only posting today-- one of their cats, miracle, hides under the coffee table when she's a bit overwhelmed. suitcases and many feet walking around got to her.

This was my first real deliberate and concentrated use of the R7 and the RF100-500 lens. The date is wrong because I hadn’t set it and then correcting it became too much of a headache. I reset it and now it is synched.
The first surprise for me of the camera and lens was the sharpness of the focal plane. Now that is in part a bird that turned its head, and the luck of timing. But it is also what seems like the most distinctive feature of images in general when working with this gear.
A morning of crazy lighting also figured in to the images I was able to work with.
In recent years, wildfires have devastated large areas of Mesa Verde National Monument. I believe that the major cliff dwellings were untouched.

The males are orange/yellow but the females are variations of white with a touch of yellow. They only live for a few days, go figure. I was lucky to capture both a male and female within a few days. Again, using my Nikon SB-900 flash on High synch with AK diffuser since this girl is mostly backlit.
For those that comment and Fav ~ Thanks!
Springtime at Chanticleer Gardens, Pennsylvania
It rained just before we arrived at the gardens, scaring off many of the sight-seers and making everything look fresh and well, green.
Tech Note: Taken 6 years ago with my 6 MP Nikon D40 and kit lens. Expensive cameras get you some impressive features and additional capabilities but the basic cameras can deliver great results when used within their limitations. In fact, the D40 is the ONLY D-SLR that I am aware of that features a 1/500 flash synch speed, something very handy for daylight fill flash and not even available on the $6000+ Nikon D5!
Shot with single off-camera strobe (Godox AD200Pro/Godox XPro II L trigger), round head with clear diffuser, multi-shot mode (16 shots/16 Htz) , 30 degrees directly above camera. Shutter synched to end of exposure.

I like 135mm very much. It is usually very sharp and gets you close enough. It allows you to isolate a detail, but it will not remove it from its context. And every vintage lens maker I used had one that is good.
This image is slid to extreme for Sliders Sunday, so lot of that sharpness and micro contrast RE Auto-Topcor 135mm produce is lost on this image.
So, for SS, extreme cold white balance (English corrector suggest me freezing) in synch with freezing weather, just enough contrast so dark sky goes down as I wish. Grain appears on its own as an artifact of "freezing" white balance.
This towering magnolia is native to central and eastern China and has been cultivated in Chinese Buddhist temple gardens since 600 A.D. Its flowers were regarded as a symbol of purity in the Tang Dynasty and it was planted in the grounds of the Emperor's palace...
This Yulan Magnolia has a rare head start on the Pink Cherry tree next to it on the college campus in Fairhope this year....normally, they bloom in synch and I can use the colorful Cherry blossoms as a nice bokeh for the Magnolia bloom...but the Cherry is slow to bloom this year!
We're Here: And now for something completely different.

This is a day late again, I've got completely out of synch, but I got the idea in my head and couldn't get rid of it. For lots of very poor reasons, it just didn't get done yesterday.
Bird Species in conflict # 13
This is my favorite shot of two Falcon species together. The action started when the Prairie Falcon buzzed the Gyrfalcon as she was perched, and the chase was on. After a brief pursuit, The Gyr broke off, and the Prairie kept flying. There was no physical contact.
A local raptor biologist was often at the terminal observing the Falcons and Eagles. I asked him if the Gyrfalcon would actually try to kill the competition. He told me that if a display of aggression and dominance achieved the result it wanted, it was not worth the risk of combat in which the Gyr might get injured herself.
That strategy seemed to work well. I observed occasions where a Prairie Falcon would enter the airspace around the terminal, spot the Gryfalcon, take a quick run at it, and voluntarily leave the scene without being chased. There are other places along the tracks, a few kilometers down from terminal, where the hunting was good.
The Gyrfalcon always ruled.

A waterhole in Namibia deserts is a vital lifeline for wild animals. No matter big or small, various animals take turns or come in at the same time to the waterhole. There is no fight among them when sharing precious water.
Continuing to introduce myself.
I have lived in Cornwall (UK) for 17 years with my husband and 4 kids who are all now young adults. There was actual blue sky today which is very unusual for this time of year.
We went to one of our favourite restaurants for lunch (Lewannick Lodge on Pentire Head). This is the view across to Newquay. The big red building is The Headland Hotel. We got married there (although we lived in Portsmouth at the time), and we very occasionally go back for special treats (as it has got very expensive). It was also where Roald Dahls The Witches was filmed and is a well known Cornwall landmark, even featuring on the Cornwall Monopoly Board.
This is also 1/100 for my 100x project which is 'on my travels' (there may be a lot of Cornwall in it!).
I am also part of the 123 and Hereio gangs and my other shot today is for those groups; somedays there may be 2 if not 3 pics, although i also love a 'twofer' if I can synch themes.
I just returned (May 2023) from three days at the Columbia
Gorge, and I must say that this year the conditions were evidently just perfect to bring out the full beauty of these flowers. The cool, then hot weather caused these flowers to burst upon the scene all of a sudden with the Balsam Root and Lupine blooming in synch which is so rare. And I was worried there would not be very good flowers this year-LOL!
These two colorfully clad cross-country skiers were at times almost perfectly in synch as they traveled across a frozen, snow-covered lake on a recent afternoon at Michigan's Kensington Metropark.

Masked under layer upon layer of clouds lies Honolulu, Hawaii and the island of Oahu. Colors are natural with no edits made. It was a very "blue" day, kind of in synch with how we were feeling as we were departing Hawaii.

A birthday image ( March 10 ) created for XandraM of the "Shock of the New/Award Tree/ Max Fudge" association of Groups.
I started with two very divergent Pano images, one of The Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York and one of a mannequin in a store window on Bloor Street in Toronto, and worked from there. All aspects of the completed piece come from these two images. A lot of photo manipulation was done to their variants and layered repeatedly in varying aspects. Both images were originally shot in 2015.
When I was done it struck me that I had created something that had a more 'classical' or 'painterly' feel to it. The image of the 'magically transformed' cathedral ( looking like a castle in the forest ) along with the mannequin and the indeterminate, twisting form in front of it made me think of Jean Cocteau's film "La Belle et la Bete" ( Beauty and the Beast ), from which the Disney film was derived. So I went with the connection to Cocteau in the titling.
While the Cocteau reference and homage are there, this is also a metaphor for the "beauty and the beast" of modern life. What often appears to us as beauty is quite often very much the beast. I chose these two images at 'random', as contrasting elements, but soon realized that there was a definite dialogue between them that had much to say about the sacred and the profane, the spiritual and the material. David Bowie, in his 1977 song, "Beauty and the Beast" expressed this in a very powerful way, closely echoing Hermann Hesse's "Steppenwolf"/"Narziss und Goldmund" theme.

Music/Video Link 1: The Overture to Philip Glass' opera "La Belle et la Bete" which was written to be precisely synched up with Cocteau's film. This video plays the opening music while providing a "overture of images" as well, giving you a very good taste of the B&W film.

U2 - Stay (Faraway, so close!)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGAOstUIhpU
Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don′t smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, so you check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turning but you′re upside down
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Oh now, is that what it is?
Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk show hosts
And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don′t feel a thing
If I could stay then the night would give you up
Stay and the day would keep its trust
Stay, then the night would be enough
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio waves
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen, I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I′ll only hear you
If I could stay then the night would give you up
Stay and the day would keep its trust
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay and the night would be enough
Three o'clock in the morning
It′s quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang
And the clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground
.....he was upon us before I could even scream. Bigger than life. We scrambled backwards to get away. I tripped over a dirt encrusted leg. (See below)
Mr. Z pulled me up and we raced toward the door we'd first entered.
THUD THUD THUD....the sound of the Brue Lee like figure was approaching.
The door was LOCKED.
THUD THUD THUD
We'd have to get through the room again...around the B.L.Man....and out the back to the fence. You can see the fence in this shot.
Mr. Zoom and I were in synch. He feinted left and I ran around the figure's right....got past him....turned to watch for Mr. Z's escape.
Ah! Brave man. Clever man. He picked up the leg I'd tripped over and whacked B.L. Man on his knee.
It worked! Mr. Zoom and I scrambled to the back and scaled the fence. We were just at the top...the very top, when the beautiful Siren appeared....holding her arms out for Mr. Zoom.
I saw him waver. I saw him hesitate.
I saw him yelp as I yanked his arm. HARD.
We escaped. He dared not give a backward glance.
So blessed to be able to take in these types of views while on a walk in our neighborhood. Decided to go with more of a washed, mellow edit vs. sharp contrasts and defined lines. Felt more in synch with a laid back, day ending vibe.
For most of the year, Grey Plovers are as plain as plain can be: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/53372245793/in/photolist But for a couple of months each spring they develop a striking black face and belly, bordered by white. But previously I had never managed to photograph one in this plumage. In mid September they should have moulted back into their dull winter plumage, but this individual stood out from the crowd. In North America they are known as Black-bellied Plovers after this plumage. The scientific name is Pluvialis squatarola, given by Linnaeus from a Venetian name for a type of Plover (Sgatarola). In the first bird book in English (1678) John Ray called it the Squatarola or Grey Plover, and that name has been used in Britain ever since. They breed on tundra in the high Arctic, usually close to the coast across North America and Russia, but winter much further south. I photographed this out of synch bird at Port Hardy at the north end of Vancouver Island.
Came across this song, and while it is rather out of synch with my usual taste, it did intrigue me enough to look for an image to pair with it.
There's a special magic found in early mornings. Even the lake knows, resting in stillness before the winds of the day start moving its waters. The world is quiet, peaceful, unbothered.
And of the things I love most about spending nights outdoors is how quickly your sleep pattern starts synching with nature - with the light of the day, you wake.
'Naturally', I'm not an early riser, but when I'm out in nature enough, I am. And I believe this is how it's supposed to be. It feels right to start the mornings slow, waking up together with nature.
I was pleased to see that this works equally well sleeping in my van as in a tent (at least for me, of course some people have the talent to sleep forever anywhere).
Anyways, if you read until here, this early morning moment is all about growing. One day, you may feel like a dried-up branch, but with enough love and care (and water!), the first tender buds will turn into blossom until all of you grows tall and beautiful.
And then it's just rinse and repeat. Like the seasons, we shed our skins and constantly become and unbecome. 💫
Stay hydrated and keep growing, my friends. 💙

Mount Cook, New Zealand
This is the classic view of Mount Cook from Peter's Lookout about 30km from the national park. On this morning, I was hoping to capture some car trails in one composition but there were no cars driving by at this hour! I had taken my desired composition from the centre of the road but knew that it would be too dangerous to be taking light trail images from that position. I moved everything to a traffic island in the slip lane and set the camera up for 1 minute exposure time lapse sequences. Then, it was a question of synching with my watch so that I could drive by at the right speed (which ended up being 60km/h) to maximise my lights in the frame but end up just out frame at either end. In the end, I was lucky to get this on the first go and took many more frames with changing light as the clear dawn approached. I hope you like this result which is a blend of three images (one without the cars, one with the car approaching , one with the car departing)
This wild turkey and another wound up in my yard , then got separated by a chain link fence and it took hours for them to figure out how to get back together. They finally did and then minutes later they were right back in the same predicament :-). They finally found one another before dark and were gone the next morning....
The Autoreflex T4 is a new design completely from scratch and looks quite different compared to the Autoreflex T3N. It is smaller and lighter, has a brighter viewfinder with split-image focussing and microprism collar and the possibility to attach an external motor drive. Compared to the Autoreflex T3N, the indication of set shutter speed in viewfinder, M synch for flash bulbs, and the built-in viewfinder shutter are missing. All camera controls have been redesigned, self timer and depth-of-field preview are separate levers and no longer combined.

Tibbie (right) is the mother of Chin (center), and Minudie (left). I adopted Tibbie years ago knowing she was pregnant. Ultrasound confirmed that she was carrying four babies, and several weeks later she gave birth to four healthy kittens in a special box prepared in my bedroom. My sister took two, and I kept the mother and the remaining two kittens. Minudie was euthanized several years ago after suffering a paralysis of her hind legs due to a blood clot.
Here all three are watching several turkeys in our front yard. I went outside with some bird seed and tried to coax them into a position in front of the window so they'd be visible in the photo. They liked the seed but were put off by three cats staring through the glass at them, and wouldn't stay put. The cats were looking in three different directions when one turkey flew up onto the front porch railing, catching their attention. After one quick photo of "synchronized" turkey watching, they were once more "out of synch", looking every which-way.

One speedlight, in front of Ziggi camera left on manual - 1/2 power. Second speedlight behind Ziggi, camera left on manual - full power. Third speedlight on camera as CLS commander, pointed at the other two strobes.
And most importantly, small cocktail sausage dangled from a long stick, about 24" in front of Ziggi's nose ;)
Camera set to manual and adjusted to under expose ambient light by two stops = 1/5000 sec at f4.5 ISO200.
A Big Thank You
..to all the fantastic comments following Ziggi's appearance on the Flickr Blog. I can't keep track of the updates on this one, so please accept this blanket 'Thankyou' to everyone who's taken time out to comment or fave!
I managed to see three different species of owl on my bike ride this morning, but Short-eared was not one of them. I took this one from the car on Mull in the morning sunshine. You can see that the pupil in the shade is dilated compared to the eye in the sun. You can also see the short ear tufts that give rise to its name, though of course these are just feather tufts. The real ears are located asymmetrically either side of the facial disc. According to the BTO there were only 620 breeding pairs in Britain (2007-2011), though the breeding population varies massively in synch with the Field Vole cycle.
The final synched FL9 shot in the series, of course the 491, flying down the main at Breakneck Ridge on 18 June 1987 with train 68, the southbound Adirondack. This engine was already shown in WL484 in its renumbered appearance as the second Amtrak 484, so you get a bonus 7th shot out of six FL9s.
The end of the "Manhattan" series.
28 images in all, the series dates from June of 2015. Subsequent trips to New York will supply more images which'll be added to the collection.
We finish up with one of the "Postcards from the Divine". Here the Cathedral is taken further out into a kind of mystical Surrealism, with the happenstance kismet of unintended symbols and other figures being created out of the mirroring effect. I think of this image as less of a representational image, a "picture OF", than I do of it as a very detailed abstraction. From time to time I like to take "reality" to the cusp of pure abstraction.
St. John the Divine is the John that wrote the fantastically mystical and impenetrable Book of Revelations, the most incredibly symbolic and utterly uncompromisingly visionary book of the whole Bible. It seemed fitting to give the cathedral named after him this final rendition.

Music Link: "Awaken" - YES, from their 1977 album, "Going for the One". Considered by many fans and critics as well as key members of the band to be their greatest achievement. Recorded in Montreux, Switzerland, YES were profoundly affected their alpine location and felt their collective inspiration was at its all time highest.
"Awaken" is a large piece, with a grand, mystical and cosmic theme to it. It's pure YES in every way. If one were to choose one single song to represent this band and what they were all about it, it would be "Awaken".
Since the piece is so grand in scope and vision I chose it to accompany this image of a Cathedral named after the author of the most profoundly mystical book in the New Testament. Searching for the right close to the "Manhattan" series and of the 3 "Postcards from the Divine" I wanted something big and majestic. "Awaken" seemed a good choice.
The video, that is closely synched to the music, is a mystical thing in itself, reflecting nicely the cosmic themes of the song.

A mix of Flash and UV torch
I used In Camera Focus Bracketing for this one.
Not to be confused with In Camera Focus Stacking or the old school way of doing things which is what I usually do.
In camera bracketing uses a sensor shift technology to change the focal point for each frame..
This movement is internal so the camera needs to sit still as does the subject. I managed to lay on the ground and brace my elbows to hand hold this focus bracket
In camera focus stacking gives a jpeg at the end of a sequence and in camera focus bracketing does not. The in camera focus stacking is limited to 15 frames and in camera bracketing allows us up to 999 frames with no jpeg at the end.
In camera focus stacking and bracketing both use the electronic shutter and the flash synch is limited to 1/100 on the OM-1
On my Em1 Mkii I would have had to move the torch further back than I had for this scene as they are limited to 1/50th on electronic shutter flash synch and the UVIVF (blue bits) would have been much brighter since ambient light can be controlled with shutter speed to a degree.
