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.
Le martin-pêcheur régurgite des pelotes de réjection, dont une partie constitue la couche sur laquelle les œufs seront déposés au fond du terrier.

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.
Continuing on with a new technique - the creation of abstract imagery through heavy pixelation and right-angled effects application.
Zoom in and it's utterly abstract, pull away and a recognizable image starts to form. Might that say something about quanta and the everyday world we see ?
The original digital SLR shot was taken several years ago and was, again, an outtake from a series that was posted back then as SOOC shots. In truth, I'm sifting through my throw-aways for potentials in this new approach. Waste not, want not ...

This image began as a scanned negative. The original photograph was taken somewhere in North Wales (almost certainly somewhere in Gwynedd) sometime in the last century (probably late 1980s, but certainly before 1992).
I have liked the original photograph for some time, but it had a number of problems; for this image I used various post-processing techniques to try to hide/overcome them.
Gloomy day on Como lake, in Menaggio. As the title indicates, this glimpse was a happy discovery to which I really couldn't resist dedicating a black and white version, I hope you like it. Long exposure obtained with the Light Composite Olympus technique.
Trike Harley-Davidson. Of course I like more than the usual two-wheeled bikes, but we must also think about those who are already difficult to cope with such a technique. I remembered the movie "Sons of Anarchy": father - of red traveled on a three-wheeled bike. And our Putin, once came to the meeting with bikers in Sevastopol on this Trike Harley-Davidson.
Using my wide angle. as a framing technique plus exaggerating the distance in this frame. The colours and landscape is real
As usual, another night of star trails - but this time I wanted a blend of techniques in a single frame.
I added a bit of life to this abandoned Dodge bus using basic light-painting to bring out the interior glow and highlight the details.
The foreground (bus + landscape) is made from 8 stacked exposures to reduce noise:
ISO 800 / f/2.8 / 75 sec
The star trails are created from 1,200 photos, combined with StarStax:
ISO 800 / f/2.8 / 5 sec / 5 sec interval
In total, the sky exposure adds up to 3 hours and 20 minutes, until clouds finally rolled in and I had to stop shooting.

El Garceta rojiza (Egretta rufescens) es una garza de tamaño medio conocida por ser uno de los miembros más activos y "dramáticos" de su familia. Es famosa por su inusual técnica de pesca, que parece un baile frenético sobre el agua.
CaracterÃsticas FÃsicas
Esta especie presenta dos variantes de color (morfos) que conservan durante toda su vida:
Morfo Oscuro (más común): Tiene el cuerpo de color gris pizarra con la cabeza y el cuello de un tono rojizo o canela intenso.
Morfo Blanco: Es completamente blanco.
Rasgos comunes:
Pico: Largo y puntiagudo, de color rosa con la punta negra (más brillante durante la época de crÃa).
Cuello: Presenta plumas largas y desgreñadas que le dan un aspecto "shaggy" o despeinado.
Patas: Son largas y de un color azul cobalto o negruzco.
Tamaño: Mide entre 68 y 82 cm de largo, con una envergadura de unos 116 a 125 cm.
Comportamiento y Alimentación
Se le apoda el "T-Rex de las marismas" por su estilo de caza agresivo y enérgico:
Baile de Pesca: A diferencia de otras garzas que esperan inmóviles, la rojiza corre, salta y gira en aguas poco profundas para perseguir a los peces.
Pesca con dosel: A menudo extiende sus alas formando una sombra sobre el agua; esto reduce el reflejo del sol y atrae a los peces que buscan refugio en la sombra, facilitando su captura.
Dieta: Se alimenta principalmente de pequeños peces, aunque también consume ranas y crustáceos.
Hábitat y Distribución
Es una especie casi exclusivamente costera.
Ubicación: Se encuentra en las costas del Golfo de México, el Caribe, América Central y el norte de Sudamérica. En EE. UU., es común en Texas y Florida.
Entorno: Prefiere marismas saladas, lagunas costeras, manglares y llanuras de marea.
=======ENGLISH========
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron celebrated for being the most energetic and "theatrical" hunter of the heron family. It is best known for its frantic, dance-like fishing technique.
Physical Appearance
This species is unique because it exists in two distinct color morphs, regardless of age or sex:
Dark Morph (Most Common): Features a slate-grey body with a contrasting shaggy, reddish-cinnamon neck and head.
White Morph: Completely white plumage.
Key Features:
Bill: Distinctive two-toned bill—bright pink at the base with a black tip.
Eyes: Pale, yellowish-white irises that give it a piercing gaze.
Legs: Long, cobalt-blue to blackish legs.
Size: Stands about 27–32 inches (68–82 cm) tall with a wingspan of approximately 46–49 inches.
The "Canopy" Hunting Behavior
The Reddish Egret’s hunting style is its most famous trait. Unlike other herons that stand still, it:
Dances: Runs through shallow water, spinning, leaping, and flapping its wings to startle fish.
Canopying: It often arches its wings over its head to create a shadow (canopy) on the water. This reduces glare, allowing the bird to see prey better, and lures fish into the shade for safety—at which point the egret strikes.
Habitat and Conservation
Range: A strictly coastal bird found along the Gulf Coast of the US (Texas, Florida), Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America.
Habitat: It stays near salt water, favoring tidal flats, lagoons, and salt marshes.
Conservation: It is considered one of the rarest herons in North America, largely due to habitat loss and historical hunting for the plume trade.

soaked my jeans laying down waiting and waiting and practicing my 'trust technique', and hoping I could whisper this goose to walk close by me. Who am I kidding? This goose was so tame, if I'd have had some feed i feel sure he or she would have eaten it out of my hand :-)

HOI AN.- THU BON RIver
Hoi An no serÃa lo mismo sin su caudaloso rÃo Thu Bon.
Ciertamente, es una relación de amor y odio, ya que todo lo que le da (y le ha dado) a la ciudad, es capaz de quitárselo de un suspiro en las intensas épocas de lluvias.
El rÃo Thu Bon
Atravesando la ciudad encontramos el rÃo Thu Bon, el cual ha dado forma y ha marcado la vida de los habitantes de Hoi An durante siglos.
Hoy en dÃa, pasear por sus orillas o tomar un café a pie de sus aguas es una de las actividades que no te puedes perder.
Festival de la linterna de luna llena de Hoi An
Aunque Hoi An luce como una postal todas las noches, la Ciudad Antigua es más espectacular durante el Festival de los Faroles mensual, cuando los locales lanzan linternas de papel iluminadas al rÃo para promover la buena salud y la fortuna. Es una visita obligada que vale la pena modificar en su itinerario de Vietnam.
Una de las formas más populares de experimentar el rÃo Thu Bon en Hoi An es en un paseo en bote de 1 o 2 horas. Embárcate en un bote de bambú con un pescador para aprender las técnicas de pesca locales u opta por un crucero corto en un bote moderno hasta la playa de Cua Dai. Si eres un buscador de emociones, girar como loco en un bote de canasta es una experiencia que debes probar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoi An would not be the same without its mighty Thu Bon River.
Certainly, it is a relationship of love and hate, since everything that he gives (and has given) to the city, he is capable of taking away in one breath during the intense rainy seasons.
The Thu Bon River
Crossing the city we find the Thu Bon River, which has shaped and marked the lives of the inhabitants of Hoi An for centuries.
Nowadays, walking along its banks or having a coffee at the foot of its waters is one of the activities that you cannot miss.
Hoi An Full Moon Lantern Festival
Although Hoi An looks postcard-perfect every night, the Ancient City is most spectacular during the monthly Lantern Festival, when locals release illuminated paper lanterns into the river to promote good health and fortune. It is a must-see and worth modifying in your Vietnam itinerary.
One of the most popular ways to experience the Thu Bon River in Hoi An is on a 1-2 hour boat ride. Embark on a bamboo boat with a fisherman to learn local fishing techniques or opt for a short cruise on a modern boat to Cua Dai Beach. If you are a thrill seeker, spinning like crazy in a basket boat is a must-try experience.
I’ve been wanting to try the Pep Ventosa technique of ‘in the round’ for a few years and have finally been able to do the post processing now that I have a more capable computer. I’m sure most of you are familiar with this artist and technique but for those that aren't… Pep Ventosa, who is originally from Barcelona, Spain created this idea. He's known to play with the perception of reality. This technique is comprised of multiple exposures by moving the camera around a central subject and then combining those exposures as layers in Photoshop. The end result provides an impressionistic looking image.
I used 19 shots for this image and was fun trying something new and relatively easy to post process.
Not the greatest, it's heavily cropped! These two were at it for about 20 minutes! Eye gouging, slashing and disembowelment are a few of their speciality techniques... not to be messed with!
Experimenteren met Cyanotype
Cyanotype is een van de oudste, niet-toxische, fotografische druktechnieken uit 1842 die met zonlicht (UV) diepblauwe (Pruisisch blauw) afdrukken maakt op papier, textiel etc. Door voorwerpen of negatieven op behandeld materiaal te leggen en te belichten met UV licht (zon of UV-lamp), ontstaan er unieke witte silhouetbeelden zonder donkere kamer.
Cyanotype is one of the oldest, non-toxic, photographic printing techniques from 1842 that uses sunlight (UV) to create deep blue (Prussian blue) prints on paper, textiles, etc. By placing objects or negatives on treated material and exposing them to UV light (sun or UV lamp), unique white silhouette images are created without a darkroom.

I was out in the cold trying to get some good stars and then the clouds came. later the moon peeped out between the clouds, so I've combined two night shots here.

As the fair weather continues, I thought it would be a good opportunity to practise some focus stacking techniques. This is one of the more simple ones that I did but I liked the composition enough to share the image. I am blending manually and this can be a pain-staking and lengthy process but I really do think that the rewards are worth the effort. There are still mistakes in focus points in all of the images I took yesterday but ultimately, I feel I managed to conceal these well for the most part. This image was taken on the coastline of Portknockie in Morayshire, Scotland.

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.

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.

Liz and I met at Bosham for Valda Bailey's exhibition at Bosham Gallery, which sadly closes at the end of this exhibition on Friday. They works will still be shown online, and they are looking to run exhibitions elsewhere, and attend large art fairs.
We were lucky enough to arrive just as the artist was about to speak about her hand-finishing of her multiple exposure images.
Afterwards, we had a wander, and were inspired to try multiple exposures again ourselves.
Some colour grading applied in Lightroom...
H is for... The Harbour
I first noticed this technique of blowing out the highlight detail at an art exhibit and have always wanted to recreate it.
i used AnthonyKo's black card technique. Well i didn't actually use a black card but used my slippers lolz.... but it turned out great in dynamic range wise. not a great composition but for a experimental shot i thought its great :)
