** I enjoyed seeing a lot of flamingoes in flight over the bird reserve at Pont du Gau.
The Camargue was a super place to watch birds though in September it is the Greater Flamingoes that steal the show. They were there is very large numbers . I did not take a tripod so this and all the other birds shots were using the camera hand held. It could be sharper I know but I am fairly happy with it
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
View from a small cave of the impressive cliffs of Los Gigantes on Tenerife.
The cliffs are about 450 m high at this point, making them one of the 5 highest cliffs in Europe.
The photo was taken from a tripod with a self-timer held in my left hand.
The Northern Lights, taken in Iceland on 24/11/2017.
Conditions on this evening were, temp -25c, wind 40mph, photo taken on a tripod being held to the ground by myself. kneeling and my partner acting as our windbreak.
30 Second exposure on ISO 800
A quick note to all who wish to photograph the Northern Lights, it is very rare that they can be seen like this with the naked eye.
This is a wee safety catch on an antique bracelet. And I just broke my new rule: do not ask my husband for his opinion. Too shallow, said he.
But when I donned my masculine side with that hat photo last week, I didn't please a few. Ah well, this is fewer than 2 inches/5cm. Might try a different aperture...or not.

I originally posted this one privately to our weekly theme challenge group, but several of the members suggested I post it publicly, so here it is.... very different from anything I've ever done before.
I had a hard time with this one...I had the idea in my head but couldn't quite execute it the way I wanted to. And of course, it was my husband to the rescue again - in the shape of his hand :)
I used a tripod so the camera wouldn't shake with the slower shutter in the dark room. I turned off all the lights and closed the doors and just used a phone flashlight behind his hand, which he is holding with his other hand.
Those of you who have already seen this and commented, please ignore :)
I was wandering looking for comps and this old stump just stood out to me. I loved the shapes mixed with the different shades of green. Took a few shots but liked this F4 version shot from further back best. Kris. Vlog below… youtu.be/WpuvS99O3s0
the osprey are nesting in the same nest again now so I'm excited. I will go back periodically and check on them and take photos. And thankfully now, I won't be lugging a toddler size lens and a tripod. Yah!!! I love this much smaller size and lighter weight equipment!
I go see my ortho doc this morning and hopefully won't have to wear my cast anymore. Things are healing well. Let's hope that's what the ex-ray will show. I'll catch up with you all later! ❤️
Image created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a boom arm. Send me a FlickrMail message, and I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use.

Reinhold has extensively travelled on all continents, and did write several great books. His peculiar journeys started 52 years, and have never stopped since.
Leisure time to him means a good gulp of red wine and a crinkly bonfire. Oh, forgot to mention, his fondness of fine smelling tobacco.....
A tripod shot.
As the light continued to get more dramatic, the shadows also began to move in. Like a scene from a thriller movie, they appeared to surround the distant silhouette. It was a thrilling moment for me as well, as I searched for the right position. The one that would best take advantage of the setting.
A pinkish streak of light shot through the sky, as day was quickly becoming night. The shadows continued their inexorable march, while just the right spot anchored my tripod, and the shot was made.
Fairy Glen One of the principal natural attractions of the village, and where Wuhelmina Stitch, "waits and waits, to see the fairy men.
Located only a short distance from Beaver bridge, a combination of rapids and cascades on the Conwy river are chanelled into a narrow ravine presenting an impressive and dramatic scene. Wooded banks and rock walls clothed with vegetation add to the charm. Fairy Glen is reached by a path from Fairy Glen Hotel beside the A470.
For a long time, I have wanted to capture the JCB with a long exposure at high tide at sunset. This trip to Elgol with the intrepid members of the STS provided such conditions. But I hadn't anticipated the strong wind that carried sea spray up onto my camera lens! The 30 second exposure may have been too long, but I like the milky effect produced by the 10-stop filter and there was no need to smear Vaseline over the lens for that 'soft-focus' effect. By the time I thought to try something shorter to get some details of wave action, I found myself surrounded by the tripods of several members of the STS, and I was reluctant to get to my camera bag to return the filter, having left it well back from the precarious rocks. Lesson learned - always challenge the STS, and keep your camera bag close...
I needed to stand on top of my truck's tonneau with my tripod in order to get a clear shot of the Kite's nest. Lucky for me, the tonneau holds 500 lbs.

Nuevo intento de capturar un atardecer desde este emblemático lago de los Pirineos... y que quedó en eso. Se resiste, jejeje...

Another one from the archives not processed before, again from early this year. I had to put in this one, the wave looks so like a toy teddy bear. February had some fairly exceptional weather with 3 named Storms for high winds and the wettest February since records began. On Saturday 29th February I again visited Newhaven to take in Storm Jorge, so named by the Spanish Met Office. Conditions were ideal with the rain having cleared earlier in the morning leaving sunshine and the winds increasing behind the front. The tides were also ideal being at 2.15. For this one I was on a high shingle beach safe from the waves and shooting with a long lens.
The wall is a breakwater for the harbour and with a serious storm massive waves come in from the SW and hit the breakwater also creating a lot of backwash and turbulence. This picture was taken about 1 and a half hours before high tide.
This picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Minolta 75-300mm zoom at 210mm. Taken handheld. No chance of a steady tripod in those conditions. The image was processed first in Camera Raw Editor. Then it was Topaz Denoise followed by Topaz Clarity and more contrast with an adjustment layer. Converted to Mono using Topaz B&W Effects.

Frailecillo atlantico , en las islas Farne, junio 2019.
Con el tripode montado en un recodo del camino vallado, sin ningun tipo de camuflaje, con unas plantas delante, para buscar desenfoques, de fondo el mar, con la luz envolvente de un dia nublado, y a esperar como los frailecillos venian e iban del oceano a su nido para alimentar a sus crias, muchos disparos y hasta acertar con una foto que te guste.
Con recorte para componer con aire en la mirada, u ojo, que es lo que corresponde en el original al punto central , ese único punto central de foco es el que pongo en estos casos, aves al vuelo, en mi camara es con diferencia el mas preciso, y ese punto lo apunto al ojo en los vuelos.
El lugar, las Islas Farne, Gran Bretaña, cuestión de dinero, para el viaje de mi casa a Edimburgo, para el viaje a la isla desde Seadhouse, en una "patera" de fotografos, para el desembarco en la isla... y una vez alli, a disfrutar, porque las aves te ignoran (excepto los charranes que te buscan) y se dejan fotografiar facilmente.
An amazing clear sky on Monday night. I grabbed this thirty-second exposure over the lake as the rising moon started to light up the clouds on the horizon. It was much brighter than the lights of Cleveland at the right. A few minutes later the moon appeared above the clouds and the sky and stars were washed out
There are a few bridges in Lithia Park. This one is perhaps the second best bridge in the park. I knew I wanted to get a long slow reflection, that meant waiting for the river to be dark and the trees behind to be in the light. That formula worked. All that was left was to put the tripod in the water (probably half of my shots find the poor tripod in the water) and then a series of slow images.
Let me know what you think.
A great tit (Parus major, széncinege) comes to the pool for a drink.
The photo was taken from our dining room (through the window). The camera rests on a tripod with the lens extended to the optimal focal length...

With no person to image on the pier; my ancient tripod, timer and remote shutter release, came in handy.
National Library of Brazil (current headquarters inaugurated on October 29, 1910), the institutional official name is the National Library Foundation, is the repository of bibliographic and documentary heritage of Brazil (since the coming of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil, in the 1810 period, with a collection of about 60.000 pieces, composed of books and documents).
Currently, the National Library, considered by UNESCO as the seventh largest national library in the world and, also, is the largest library in Latin America, holds in its collection more than 8 million pieces.

Using a tripod one returns to the way photos were created in the 19th century. At that time, the camera used to be a large and heavy apparatus. In the 1920s, the production of the modern 24x36mm film camera, small, powerful and eminently portable, made the tripod largely redundant for the amateur photographer. I am finding now, however, that in order to use Live View (Leica M Monochrome) I better use a tripod if exact focus is demanded, in particular when a telephoto lens is attached (here, 90mm). It is a bit counter-intuitive because the whole point of the range-finder camera is portability and quick action.
Choosing the right tripod is crucial for sharp, stable landscape images. Prioritise weight, stability, and durability, while considering the... Read the full article
