This is lit by hand in less than one second!
he past few months have been mostly about producing higher quality work. This is not very relevant for social media, but I'm obsessed with the idea of scaling up my images for some future projects.
This is a single exposure, fresh from today. Check out the close-up: twitter.com/ericpare/status/1587956945994108928 😱💙🌟

1.5 seconds exposure (0.8s for the light-painting), using my usual tubes lightpainting.store/
This is the partner to the male Wood duck I posted previously. She may be small but she makes up for it by being agile and quick around the bigger ducks.

I picked this flower from the garden this morning, and brought it indoors to photograph where it's easier to control the light.
Lighting stuff: I place a Yongnuo manual flash in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera left for back lighting, and used a second Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box as my main light positioned in front at camera right. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N. Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1700 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
Other pictures that I've taken of Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my cleverly titled Birds of Paradise album.
This young capricorn in the Julian alp mountains of Slovenia is obviously surprised looking into the lens of a bridge camera, but it's not scared.
Pour cette réalisation, j'ai utilisé mon 50mm avec une grande ouverture, pour un effet tout doux et romantique. La tache rose/orangée n'est pas l'Astre Solaire, mais un nuage sur lequel se reflétait les jolies teintes du soleil couchant...en avant plan, des branches fines d'un arbre d'Eucalyptus...l'imagination a fait le reste!

This is the last picture I took of Beanie with Pip just a week ago. It is a candid shot, they were just both sat by the fire. I happened to have my camera and snapped them before of course as always they come over to see what I might have for them!
I know it's technically not very good, but for her last picture, I love it.
This is one of a few tributary's in Newton Abbot.. that run into the river Teign.. View On Black
Done with a twist of 'Oli-Ort'.. have a great day.. thanks for stopping by..
This popular intergeneric clone blooms with a multitude of dark red flowers accented by yellow tip that last up to 2 months. This orchid's flower spikes can reach up to 36" tall from the base of the pot to the top of the spike. There can be well over 50 flowers per flower spike! The rotund pseudobulbs with their wide leaves have a pleasing appearance.
This small owl in the Puntarenas region of Costa Rica did not seem bothered by my snapping a few pictures of it from just a few yards away.
This summer in our area of Minnesota, timely and abundant rains have made our countryside lush as a rainforest. Thick foliage, tall grasses, and over-your-head corn height have made driving on some gravel roads similar to driving through a green tunnel.
When you see a flash of a Northern Cardinal in this thick environment, they appear like a drop of fire hurtling toward shelter in the trees.
Cardinals, unlike many of our summer bird visitors, do not migrate. This particular cardinal has probably spent his whole life within a sphere of a few miles where he now perches.
During our bitter winters when the winds howl and the snow snuffles the land, cardinals still sing to one another even as they seek cover in dense evergreens.
The bright red feathers of males come from carotenoids in foods like berries. A poor diet can make a cardinal look duller. The brighter the red, the better a cardinal is eating.
August marks the month when his summer molt begins. A molting cardinal loses all its head feathers at once and, as a result, appears bald or patchy. But in preparation for the coming cold months, he trades his faded feathers for fresh ones.

This boat was tied up in the moat at Baddesley Clinton and has lots of vegetables and a few bottles of fizz on board.
This beautiful tree is a Japanese Maple, and is in the Japanese Garden in Washington Park, Portland. We are just getting some really beautiful fall color now.
My thanks to you all for your wonderful comments and fave's! It is heartwarming and inspiring to me.
This year marks the 200th birthday of this great Austrian composer. Here you can see the Bruckner bust in Vienna's Stadtpark, which was unveiled three years after Bruckner's death.
Bruckner ‘was an Austrian composer of the Romantic period as well as an organist and university teacher. Only recognised by his contemporaries late in life, he was nevertheless one of the most important and innovative composers of his time and his works had a great influence on music history well into the 20th century.
His most important and probably best-known compositions are his large-scale eleven symphonies.’

This was a tiny cuckoo or nomad bee visiting our veronica gentianoides yesterday. With 30 nomad bee species in the UK I cannot identify exactly which species of bee this is but they are called nomads because they roam around looking for other solitary bee nests to parasitise. The gentian speedwell is also a bit of a nomad too. It's a much loved UK garden perennial, especially by bees, which grows wild in the Caucasus, from Turkey to Iran.
I did some Christmas shopping today, just some goodies for on the Christmas plates, I guess a German habbit, but this is al so GOOD!
This was the most intense aurora I’ve ever seen. With a jaw-dropping corona above, dancing curtains, rotating vortices and lightning-like events extending all the way to each horizon, nearly every square inch of the sky – for a full 360 degrees – was filled with color. This was taken about 150 miles north of the arctic circle, during a geomagnetic storm that registered a Kp=6. Moments like this quickly make up for weeks in the unbearable cold.
For those interested, I've written an article on photographing the aurora HERE
This little one was puffed up this evening in late sunshine light and temperatures around freezing. Recommend zooming in large to take in those feather details.
This male Downy Woodpecker was enjoying the suet feeder when he suddenly heard a sound that got his attention.
What ever it was must not have been anything to worry about because he stayed a bit longer to keep snacking on the suet.
My Dear Friends, I am just back from a business trip in Finland, great weather, beautiful clouds!
This one was shot from Suomenlinna, a small island 15 minutes by boat from Helsinki.
It's been a while since I posted a long exposure seascape :)
Digitally blended Vertorama, multiple exposures with and without ND400 filter. And the boat was really there, I did not add it :)

This image was taken at the City Museum in Saint Louis. This place is a concrete and wire wonderland. Clearly the guy behind the design was a mad-man, but we get to reap the benefits of his design. The museum is inside an abandoned shoe factory in fact, there is a shop just to the left of the image where they make and sell shoelaces. We got a pair. The place is an endless opportunity for interesting images. The hardest partis getting one with no one in the frame.
This image is at the same crossing as the last one. Nebraska Central red is on the point as the train is returning to Genoa with pulls from the sand plant. The fall colors are really starting to pop around here.
This is the staircase at the Old Point Loma Lighthouse located at Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego. I love spiral staircases, and never miss a chance to photograph this one when I go there. This was shot from the bottom, looking up.
Other pictures of San Diego can my seen in my creatively titled San Diego Album.https://www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157623536348425
This little beauty is about 4.5 inches in width, and we purchased it at a local grocery store as a Haloween decoration.
Lighting stuff. I first place the pumpkin on a piece of black Perspex and then lit it using a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera right and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand mirror at camera left. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1900 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
This is probably my favorite image from a trip in early October to southwest Colorado, USA, for autumn foliage. And one of my favorite places to visit is Owl Creek Pass, where the colors of the aspen groves and the views of the Cimarron Range are outstanding.
This juvenile Nigerian dwarf goat, who has no name yet, took a liking to me and curled up in my lap today. I had to put down the camera and give good pats!
This is the city's popular spot for walks. You've got a beautiful park along side the sea and some wildlife.
This is a great time of the year for aurora photography in Alaska. There is open water for great reflection shots and if you time it just right you can capture the aurora and sunset or sunrise in the same shot. This photo was taken near Sheep Mountain, Alaska on the morning of August 18th, 2024. Nikon Z9. Nikkor Z 14-24 mm.
