200mm on full frame is not always enough to come really close
Thanks to modern software a duplication of virtual focal length is possible if the original footage is of good and clean quality (RAW image is a must here)
Continuing with Raptors NOT On Fence Posts, this male Northern Harrier - aka Grey Ghost - wasn't too pleased with me when I hiked the Riverwalk Trail in Grasslands Park recently. Yes indeed, I was on foot for this! It is cropped, but not upscaled, as we were quite close. So unusual to get anywhere near this species - it must have a nest nearby.
Harriers are ground nesters. They like tall grasses near wetlands, and this place qualifies on both counts. I would bet that its mate was nest sitting while he patrolled the area. Male harriers like to spread their DNA far and wide: they will mate with several females if opportunity presents and have several families going simultaneously.
You'll never guess what happened next. Tune in tomorrow to find out!
Hmm... is anyone else having trouble finding their contacts now that Flickr has removed our People page? Currently when I click the appropriate box, I see the last dozen uploads from ONE of my Flickr friends... and nothing else. I'm sure the decision to "streamline" our interface was a money saving move and nothing more. Currently it has diminished my experience on this site and slowed down the commenting process by forcing me to scroll through group activity, when it works at all. And now this glitch. I'm not impressed.

Created by the British sculptor Angela Conner, the work consists of twelve bronze busts atop a stone base."
Upscale Imerovigli village sits on a clifftop overlooking Santorini’s caldera islands. The terraces of its sleek bars, fine-dining restaurants, and upscale boutique hotels, some in caves, are popular sunset viewing spots. The Ekklisia Theoskepasti hiking trail leads past the ruined, 13th-century Skaros Venetian Fortress to the summit of landmark Skaros Rock and the blue-domed Theoskepasti Church on the rock’s flank.

A pleasant Sunday morning kicks off with the usual CN traffic through Concrete Canyon. Here, IC 1002 snakes past the uppity hi-rises of Near South Side Chicago with the daily Glenn - Kirk Yard transfer, L536.
Upscale mall and transit center (8/16/16) across the street from One World Trade Center. The concrete and steel structure was designed by famed architect, Santiago Calatrava.
As you can see much is missing or possibly erroneous in this picture. but you get the idea of the how magnificent a structure Calatrava had created (besides a significant amount of distortion in the original capture, there was a large crowd of people at or near the entrance so I left Photoshop make up something to replace the people).

Rodeo Drive Capri in the morning is quiet and lonely except for this sleepy photographer. I love this time of day. Morning is the best time of day even better than evening because I have everything to myself. I have the light and the color and my tripod and I own it all.
