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.
1) Go to a dog park
2) Select a macro subject
3) Get low to the ground, camera to your face
4) Get broadsided by a running 70-pound Great Dane pup as you press the shutter
5) Get licked to death by the same puppy... ;)

This picture of the Canale Grande, Venice, was taken in early August 2007 as a panorama consisting of 11 frames. When I rediscovered the files, I thought, some new Photoshop processing techniques I didn't know back then might help the files to become a nice picture.

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!!

Trying cheap macro techniques. This one is taking using an old lens, in reverse on the camera. manual zoom, handheld, natural - existing - light. Lucky the insect was calm and no wind. closer...
A wattle weaved fence seemingly sitting there for no specific purpose (from what I could see). This wattle technique was apparently commonly used to make fences and hurdles for enclosing ground or handling livestock. The technique goes back all the way to Neolithic times.

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.
When I begun to process this exposure bracketing, I thought that I knew what I wanted to attain. I was perfectly wrong. Indeed, these RAW files kept a few secret bits of beauty which I was not aware of when I selected them for processing – and they changed the course of the journey I had foreordained.
I was in a gloomy mood, for both personal and general concerns, and the RAWs looked rather duller than the average – taken: they appeared to accurately mirror the state of my soul. At worst, I would have wasted some hours of pointless procesing work before deciding to look for something better. Nobody would have known. However things were to contradict my expectations. I got some good news (a rarity in those tough days) about the health conditions of my brother and my “adopted brother-in-law” (i.e. my brother’s brother-in-law); on the other hand, Darktable – that wonderful software – gifted me with a few unanticipated treasures. My thoughts were growing more and more positive and the processing of this bracketing were proceeding accordingly: a hidden beauty was unfolding before me, my own persisting unawareness of it notwithstanding. At last I found myself with a picture that had apparently self-processed itself*, while I was busy exploring uncharted thoughts that kept emerging along the way
* Admittedly a bizarre phenomenon, which Maurits Cornelius Escher would have loved – think of his Drawing hands.
I would avoid to nag you about this incredibly wonderful location: you can take a look at my album Silent banks, the complete collection of the photos I have taken there; the attached narratives are rich in information about the place, if you are curious enough.
This location is especially renowned for its legendary morning mists, but only a thin layer of milky mist floated above the water that morning. On top of the hill in the distance, beyond the river, lays the sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca ( = Madonna of the Rock), already brushed by the first light pouring from the Eastern horizon.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. In this picture I have exploited this technique in a very frugal, yet effective, way – just some touches where needed.
RAW files has been processed with Darktable. Denoising with DFine 2 and the Gimp (denoised and original images blended by lightness).
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 :-)
Sixth image in Bird Art series...
I enjoyed some creative framing here, highlighting the American Robin in an oval design.
I like challenging myself to try new techniques and styles in my photography. It's fulfilling and helps me think outside the box. Maybe it keeps my old brain from turning to mush!
After some nights spent to learn and practice new imaging techniques, I propose a version of my first attempt to Andromeda Galaxy, less harsh, more realistic and detailed and (I hope) nicer to see.

A geeky computer joke. This shell is nature's way of exploring cellular automata :).
A cellular automaton is a mathematical technique that evolves a collection of data using very simple rules. This shell exhibits that sort of evolution along its outer surface.
In the computer world, a shell is a program that accepts a persons inputs (usually by typing commands) and then spits out the results.
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.

Vue sur le Mont Bégo (2872 m alt.) depuis le second des deux lacs jumeaux près de la voie sacrée dans le Val de Fontanalba. Le refuge appartient au Parc National du Mercantour et son usage est réservé au personnel du Parc. Il y a un autre refuge ouvert aux randonneurs. Ce site (connu sous le terme de "voie sacrée") est réputé pour ses gravures rupestres datant de l'âge du bronze et dont la datation exacte est controversée. Beaucoup d'archéologues pensent qu'il s'agit du bronze ancien (2500 à 3000 ans avant J.C.)

photography tip 01: Flip your photo
Flipping your photo horizontally when working on the post processing phase of a photo allows your eye to constantly seek and spot the best framing possible, as well as remove anything that might alter the composition. It's a technique i use a LOT whenever i work on a concept art piece in photoshop too. to the point where i took the habit of flipping my canvas every 40 seconds or so. It's a bit like giving your eyes a fresh start on your image, every several seconds. the best way is to bind a key or create a shortcut in order to have a permanent easy access to the horizontal flip. i actually use the vertical one too!

We have a special challenge at We’re Here! today: “It's a Saturday ... so today, let's spend a few minutes (or hours) showing off one of your favorite special photographic techniques. And, in your photo's description, explain what you did to get the intended (?!) result.”
Our images are then to be foisted upon our unsuspecting host What’s Your Technique?
I love creating images made out of several blended photographs. The elements come from my archives, recent or old, and are usually from several separate locations and different times. It’s great fun to enter these in contests when they fit the theme – and the contest themes themselves often serve as the inspiration for the image created. I don’t often “win” the contests, but that is hardly the point. Just as with the “We’re Here” themes, it is the challenge and creative work that causes me to spend my precious hours doing this. I have been wanting to create a new texture for a while now. These take me more time than seems reasonable – so today’s the day!
I combined a snap of my daughter’s kitchen wall in afternoon sunlight and a sandstone wall at a Napa winery, ran the result through Manga 5 Art Studio for some spray painting, and tortured that in “Paint Shop Pro” with blurring, layering, contrast adjustments, and a software-generated “straw texture”, until I couldn’t possibly remember how to do it again. Then I blended several different layers of it in different opacities and saturations with my subject – taken at the Idaho Springs Heritage Museum. The originals of my new texture and the owl shot are in the comment box below. I altered the dates to the past so they will “fall out” of my current photostream.
And, voilà! I have to fess up to falling into the “a few hours” category of Hereio today! I don’t have a contest in mind, but Spotlight Your Best has a “Bird Life” theme this month, so I will put it there.
Elastic Band Trick
Other People have done this before, some may have better techniques than this but this is the one I use. Feel free anyone to use this and I'm always open to questions and suggestions etc. Thanks for reading and enjoy!
Elastic Band Trick
The detailed picture step guide to get positioning of the arms on Lego Figures using one small elastic band.
I used small medical scissors because they were pointed and curved to get into the arm hole and the loop of the band to pull it out the other arm hole. You can use pretty much anything with those qualities. (Curved and pointed)
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.
An experiment to see if lens zoom technique would work with my Lee 10 stop filter. Taken at the waterfall at Nabt Mill Woods, North Wales.
Esta garceta ( Egretta garzetta) baila sobre el agua tratando de adivinar en qué lugar se ha escondido el pez que persigue. Como no detecta movimiento, es bastante probable que su objetivo esté enterrado en el fango, así que es el momento de sacarlo con la técnica del pisotón.
________________
This little egret (Egretta garzetta) dances across the water, trying to guess where the fish it's chasing is hiding. Since it doesn't detect movement, it's quite likely its target is buried in the mud, so it's time to dig it out with the stomp technique.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

The tower includes elements of traditional Islamic architecture and southwestern Asian design. Elizabeth Lambourn's Islam Beyond Empires: Mosques and Islamic Landscapes in India and the Indian Ocean studies the introduction of Islam in South Asia and how the region influenced the Islamic religious architecture. These newly arrived Muslims from the Islamic West escaped the Mongol Empire and emigrated to India, where they constructed religious centers. The Qutb Minar serves as a central marker to these new Muslim communities as well as being a reminder of Islam's presence in the area. The architecture of the minaret varies greatly from that of the typical style and design of the mosques constructed in the Middle East. The style of these structures is influenced by the local architecture such as the Indic temples. This affected the different materials, techniques, and decoration that were used in the construction of the Qutb Minar.
Historically, tower minarets were uncommon in South Asian-Islamic design until the 17th century, due to the slow adoption of the typical Middle Eastern style in India. It is also detached from the main mosque, showcasing how the native culture affected the design of a Middle Eastern structure. The Qutb Minar is seen as the "earliest and best example of a fusion or synthesis of Hindu-Muslim traditions" according to Ved Parkash in his essay The Qutb Minar from Contemporary and Near Contemporary Sources. Like many mosques built in South Asia during this time period, the minaret was constructed by Hindu laborers and craftsmen but overseen by Muslim architects. This led to a construction that synthesized both Hindu and Islamic religious architecture. Since some of the craftsmen were Hindu and unfamiliar with the Quran, the inscriptions are a compilation of disarranged Quranic texts and other Arabic expressions.

I had heard about a technique quite a while ago and I have been meaning to try it one day, it consists of taking an object, photographing it multiple times all around it and then blending the layers in varying opacity in photoshop.
This is my first attempt - 12 photos taken around this nice little pot of lavender, blended in PS. I've then added some textures to finish the look. The left-hand image is my base image or starting point as a comparison.
The technique can be used on outdoor objects as well like trees, statues, fountains, buildings etc, etc...

Many techniques used on this image are demonstrated in my recently released set of videos "Image Editing Volume I". A link can be accessed through my Flickr profile. Due to more strict enforcement of their rules, Flickr has asked me and many others to take down info such as links to personal websites, workshop information, and editing videos. However, it is still allowed to have such information in one's Flickr Profile.
Technique: Sometimes the subject I'm shooting gets so use to me being close that it just goes about its business as if I'm not there. All I had to do is set the camera to under expose the natural light in the background, and I shaded the subject so that the flash was the only significant light source on the mantis (to freeze motion).
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens with 37mm of extension + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key and "B" as the fill, with the key on a Kaiser flash shoes). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
