These birds are fast fliers (approx. 50 mph/80 kph) and it's always a challenge to get a sharp shot as they zoom by. But bright light, a fast shutter speed, and practiced technique make it possible to highlight their beauty!
Have a great day, everyone...
Sa technique de pêche repose sur l'affût, perché sur une branche au-dessus de l'eau. Il repère ses proies en agitant la tête de droite à gauche, puis soit pique directement, la tête la première, depuis son perchoir, soit effectue un bref vol stationnaire avant de plonger. Il revient souvent se poser sur son perchoir dont il se servira pour assommer sa proie avant de la lancer en l'air pour la gober tête la première.
Le succès de ses pêches est très sensible aux conditions climatiques, la pluie troublant la surface, ou la turbidité de l'eau rendant le repérage des proies plus difficile.

His fishing technique is based on the lookout, perched on a branch above the water. He spots his prey by waving his head from right to left, then either spades directly, head first, from his perch, or performs a brief hovering before diving. He often comes back on his perch which he will use to knock out his prey before throwing it in the air to swallow head first.
The success of its fisheries is very sensitive to the climatic conditions, the rain disturbing the surface, or the turbidity of the water making the identification of the preys more difficult.
The kingfisher regurgitates balls of rejection, part of which is the layer on which the eggs will be deposited at the bottom of the burrow.
I was surprised that the deer just stood in the river, with me in full sight just a short distance away. Did they feel trapped with no where to go, or were they captivated by my goat, cow, sheep, horse, deer, whispering techniques?
I am currently working on some pictures with motion blur and textures. Tokyo is the ideal place to trial this technique and to gain more experience. I’m completing a little article about the use of textures that I will post together with the the first motion blur images. Until then there will be one or two more straight and calm night shots....

What happens if a photographer discovers and develops his own style and starts repeating technique and motives? Is it becoming boring or does the work gain more depth? You find a new article with reflections about photographic style on the website.

I get to observe a number of birds while they are foraging and either I've been asleep or have never seen a Little Blue Heron employ the old toe tapping technique of the Snowy Egret! This guy was doing just that and the minute the poor hapless fish made a move to escape the toe it ended up in the beak!!! Photo was taken on Horsepen Bayou!!

Focus on the vision - Train you Technique Vision without technique is blind. When nature opens her window of opportunity, put yourself in the place of most potential. Be there with your vision and technique and be open to the possibilities What will you be given today? be open enough to 'see it'

Continuing with "Pano-Portraiture" - using the panoramic sabotage technique in the service of portraiture. ( Dis-service ? )
The thing that seems to be distinguishing pano-sabotage artists on Flickr from the many, many people who are posting to hosts of other online iPhoneography groups is that here, we Flickr folk are working hard to ensure that this technique is yet another tool for making art and is not a end unto itself.
When you search around online you see a lot of panoramic distortion images being posted but most of them just come across as novelty pics. "Hey, isn't this weird?" kind of thing.
So my hat is off to all who've worked with the technique here on Flickr and posted work that is truly artistic and unquestionably creative. Cheers to you all !!!!!
The original image is much larger. This portrait was isolated out of that bigger picture in order to zero in on a portrait opportunity.

Le terme « SNIPER PHOTOGRAPHIQUE » désigne un photographe qui utilise des techniques de photographie à distance pour capturer des images de manière précise et discrète. Ces photographes sont souvent équipés de matériel sophistiqué, comme des objectifs à longue portée, qui leur permettent de prendre des photos nettes de sujets éloignés sans attirer l'attention. Ils travaillent généralement dans des environnements où la discrétion est essentielle, comme lors d'événements privés ou lorsque leur présence pourrait déranger le sujet. Ils adoptent une approche méthodique et cherchent à capturer le moment parfait sans perturber la scène …
------------------
À l'inverse, les PAPARAZZI sont des photographes spécialisés dans la capture d'images de célébrités dans leur vie quotidienne. Leur approche est souvent intrusive, à la recherche de clichés sensationnels à vendre aux médias. Les paparazzi utilisent également un équipement sophistiqué, mais leur objectif principal est de capturer des moments privés ou embarrassants, ce qui soulève des questions éthiques quant à la vie privée des personnes photographiées. Ils sont souvent perçus comme des intrus qui exploitent la célébrité de leurs sujets à des fins lucratives …

The term 'PHOTOGRAPHIC SNIPER' REFERS to a photographer who uses remote photography techniques to capture images accurately and discreetly. These photographers are often equipped with sophisticated equipment, such as long-range lenses, which enable them to take sharp pictures of distant subjects without attracting attention. They tend to work in environments where discretion is essential, such as private events or situations where their presence might disturb the subject. Their approach is often methodical, seeking to capture the perfect moment without disturbing the scene...
------------------
In contrast, PAPARAZZI are photographers who specialise in capturing images of celebrities in their everyday lives. Their approach is often intrusive, seeking sensational shots that can be sold to the media. Paparazzi also use sophisticated equipment, but their main aim is to capture private or embarrassing moments, raising ethical questions about the privacy of the people they photograph. They are often perceived as intruders who seek to exploit the celebrity of their subjects for profit...

Refining my comet shooting technique after the dramas of last time. I used a Nikon D810A with a Sigma Art 135mm lens at f/2, ISO200, 27 x 30 second shots during and beyond astro twilight. The camera was on a ZWO AM5, I used the ZWO ASIAIR Mini to polar align, then get my framing where I was happy with it, and ran the autofocus routine with a ZWO EAF connected to the lens. Once that was done I ran unguided in continuous exposure mode with a wired shutter release that locks on, while I shot landscape astro comet shots with the other camera. For processing I used APP, I didn't do any comet alignment. I removed much of the astro twilight colour from the sky and with more subs the satellites are almost gone. The artifact on the bottom right is from the ground getting in the frame! Final processing in Photoshop.
New York City - July 2, 2023: Abstract created by rain falling in Times Square at night, Manhattan. The camera focuses on the large raindrops as they fall against a colorful crowd in the background including a pink umbrella and lights in Times Square.
I continue to have fun temporarily with pieces from the PaB without my stock pieces. Of them little can be done but when there's only a plastic Cup... The desire to build immediately increased. Can the pressure is gone and the duty to do something unimaginable without giving the abyss pieces. Oh well - soon I finish moving and will be content better :-)

Stilt fishing in Hai Hau is a traditional method where fishermen use wooden stilts to support themselves while standing in the surf. Positioned above the receding waves, they lower large V-nets into the water to catch fish and shrimp left behind as the tide retreats. In spite of modern fishing techniques, stilt fishing continues to be passed down from generation to generation in Hai Hau.
Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, using specialized equipment or software, that captures images with horizontally elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio, like the familiar letterbox format in wide-screen video.
While there is no formal division between "wide-angle" and "panoramic" photography, "wide-angle" normally refers to a type of lens, but using this lens type does not necessarily make an image a panorama. An image made with an ultra wide-angle fisheye lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panorama. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye – about 160° by 75° – may be termed panoramic. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as it is high. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip. Some panoramic images have aspect ratios of 4:1 and sometimes 10:1, covering fields of view of up to 360 degrees. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image.

My local lake - a good opportunity to try out my new Hoya Infra red filter and learn some IR processing techniques!
A facade technique for corners. The important part is this, which may be hard to source. The offset is a half-plate on each side of the dark bley block. I would love to see a solution that is solid and only uses in-production parts.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

Sony ILCE-7RM5
Intha Lake fishermen, renowned for their distinctive technique, navigate the waterways with a remarkable leg-rowing style. Perched at the stern of their slender wooden boats, these skilled fishermen balance on one leg while the other is wrapped around the oar. With a synchronized motion, they propel the boat forward, their arms free to manage the intricacies of the conical nets. This unique technique, evolved over generations, allows them to navigate the lake's shallow waters, where reeds and floating gardens abound. Their dexterity extends to the handling of the conical nets, an artful craft passed down through ancestral knowledge. With precision and grace, they manipulate these nets using a circular motion, skillfully casting them into the water to ensnare the abundant fish that thrive in Inle Lake's rich ecosystem. The harmony between their rowing and net handling embodies a tradition that not only sustains their livelihood but also stands as a testament to their cultural heritage and intimate relationship with the lake.

Paper Crafting Technique of Lion Heads
Lion head paper crafting has a long history in Hong Kong. The birthday celebrations held for deities in villages are usually accompanied by dancing lions or other auspicious animals. They worshipped at shrines and temples to report to the deities, and hence lion head paper crafting emerged. The lion head costume comes in Foshan 佛山裝, Heshan 鶴山裝 and “Fo-He” 佛鶴裝 styles. Some craftmen depict the lion heads in different colours to resemble historical figures from the Three Kingdoms such as Liu Bei 劉備 (yellow face with multicoloured patterns and a white beard), Guan Yu 關羽 (red face with a black beard), Zhang Fei 張飛 (black-and-white face, green nose with a black beard), Zhao Yun 起趙雲 (green face with a black beard), Huang Zhong 黃忠 (with yellow as the main tone). Lion head paper crafting comprises four processes, namely crafting the frame, mounting the paper, colouring and decorating 紮作，撲紙，寫色，裝上裝飾配件。
Small Group Weekly Challenge - 3 techniques
I hardly have a chance to get out in the daylight, but took the little Sony with me for a walk or in fact I had to run to get over there before the last lights disappeared. Wanted to make something a la old style with a little golden touch and slightly overexposed. Found a mode called retro on my camera and I tried it. With some good will it becomes 3 techniques ...or :o)
1: handheld, f5, 1/80, iso 400
2: Mode Picture Effect: retro
3: Picasa: no editing just changed it to a polaroid with text,
Visiting the Bluebell Railway for the Gala B12 8572. Trying to nail the pan technique, still a way to go and something to practise on, but getting there slowly

Paper Crafting Technique of Lanterns for Newborn Sons
Many traditional villages in the New Territories hold a Lantern Lighting Ceremony 點燈習俗. The Cantonese words “Dang” 燈 and “Ding” 丁 are homophones. Lanterns for newborn sons are hung in ancestral halls or worship venues during a period from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year to inform the ancestors of the new births. At the same time, they convey the meaning of continuing to “give birth to a baby boy” next year. In some walled villages, a note with the name of the baby boy and auspicious objects are attached under the lantern. The Lantern Lighting Ceremony includes lantern lighting, lantern celebrations, lantern dousing and lantern burning. The lantern displayed in the exhibition is in the shape of an octagonal base and is made of bamboo strips, tissue paper, coloured paper, paper decorations featuring auspicious motifs.
This is 3 exposures blended together using my advanced Photoshop tonality control and multiple exposure blending techniques. I produced a video detailing these techniques, it's available here: www.zschnepf.com
I loved Bad Water, I spent quite a few days shooting before I finally got a nice clear sunrise. The winter rains covered the salt flats with water, it was so surreal to walk into it. This is the lowest point in North America, 282 feet below sea level. I added a post to my blog about this trip here: Our Blog
