This one suddenly showed up near the path in Tentsmuir forest yesterday,my iso was too high for quality but never mind i got him anyway.
Dankzij een tip (waarvoor dank) werd vanuit Königstein snel naar de bocht in Kurort Rathen afgereisd. Een fraaie graantrein met een Ex-DB 120’er op kop zou hier goed voor de zon moeten passeren. Na zo’n 10 minuten gewacht te hebben passeert het geheel de drie fotografen onderweg naar grensstation Bad Schandau. Aldaar reed de Traxx de trein verder Tsjechië in en keerde de 120’er terug richting Dresden.

I love Eagles and any bird of prey really (my favourite is the Peregrine Falcon). Captured whilst out one day with my love.
Lots of Orange Tip butterflies on the wing along the River Orwell and Chantry Cut in Ipswich today! Most were pretty flighty but I managed some shots of this pair who were otherwise occupied!
Orange-tip butterflies (Anthocharis cardamines) are a common sight during spring and can be found in lots of places including meadows, woodland and hedges. Adults lay their eggs on garlic mustard, cuckooflower and hedge mustard plants.
The male orange-tip is unmistakeable. It is a white butterfly with half of its forewing being a bold orange colour, and with light grey wingtips. The female is also white, but has grey-black wingtips, similar to the white butterflies. Both sexes show a mottled, 'mossy grey' pattern on the underside of their hindwings when at rest.
Orange-tips are found across the UK, but are scarcer in the north of Scotland.
Orange-tip caterpillars are cannibalistic, eating their own eggshell when they emerge and moving on to eat other orange-tip eggs nearby. The caterpillars pupate in July and overwinter as a pupa, emerging as butterflies the following spring.
An HDR that I took this weekend. We were supposed to have a snowstorm, but we only got more rain and fog.
Some processing tips can be find in my HDR tutorial.
Hmm.. just realized that I need to update the tutorial with info on my current processing flow, and the new Photomatix + CS4.
When the sun decided to shine,albeit a short time,it didn't take long for these little beauties to appear. A gorgeous male Orange Tip.
Cinnamon Teals are such beautiful ducks, and I've taken many shots of them, usually from such a great distance that I haven't posted any of them.
Some ducks were sleeping nearby the pond where I was shooting today, and I was pleasantly surprised to see one was a Cinnamon Teal. I wanted to get some nice shots of him swimming so I decreased my shutter speed to 1/1250 to bring out more detail in the darker colors.
But then he decided to fly. They are so fast that I didn't have time to increase my shutter speed. I just got lucky that this was in focus. He's one pretty duck!

I've never really had much luck with Orange Tips until our weekend visit to Cerne Abbas. They were so well behaved in the cool conditions I had time for a few lens changes.
My two sister kittens are getting bigger! Six months old now. They are very closely bonded. This is Tipper (in back) and Cookie (in the front).
Back Garden - after photographing this guy on Saturday, I watched him go to roost on the Weigela. Knowing it was going to be frosty the next morning I got up early to try to get some images with frost or dew - he was still there, but he must have been sheltered under the leaf, as I can only see the frost on the Weigela.

This fellow thought that he could put his bike's kickstand down and the massive weight he was moving about wouldn't turn his bike into an ice cream trebuchette...he was wrong.

Back Garden - couldn't believe my luck when he landed on this dead daffodil (I didn't spot the photobomber at the time)
Also had a Holly Blue land on some blossom, but too high for photos.
La zona donde fotografÃo las terreras, es en las orillas de un pantano en Extremadura, al lado de una dehesa de encinas, pero que al bajar el nivel de agua, y ser una zona muy llana y poca profundidad, deja una zona amplÃsima de llanura, pero tremendamente pedregosa al quedar las rocas al descubierto por lar acción erosiva del agua
En algunas zonas incluso es complicado andar entre tanta piedra. En pleno verano la zona parece un desierto pedregoso., al quedar la orilla del pantano muy lejos.
No es el mejor sitio para hacer un rececho arrastrándote hasta situarte a buena distancia del pájaro en cuestión, pero ya sabéis que a muchos de nosotros nos falta un tornillo y hacemos cosas muy raras.
Subida sobre una de esas piedras que he comentado y con el fondo desenfocado de una segunda piedra,esta terrera común (Calandrella brachydactyla), lanza una mirada a ese tipo raro que asà tumbado no le debe de parecer muy peligroso.
Un saludo.
