Using my new Sony a1 MKii today first impressions very good, looking forward to testing it out in the coming weeks.

#Still using my F2 XF 50mm lens and a film recipe "Pure Grit". This one does seem to provide a darker contrast throughout the image compared to some of the other fuji film simulations

Black Redstart used to be a scarce passage migrant at Tynemouth but in 3 out of the last 4 years we have had a bird wintering at the base of the cliffs, visible from the pier. It seems very successful in its hunting on the washed up kelp and dominates the local Rock Pipits.

Black Redstart was once regarded as a really rare bird in the UK but started nesting on city bomb sites after WWII and then took a liking to the burdgeoning nuclear power stations being built.

Similar but darker than Common Redstart they are obviously better suited to surviving Europen winters than it effete cousin.

Using a slower shutter speed allows one to get the sense of motion and captures the atmosphere I was experiencing.

Used 'virtual' yellow filter. Great advantage of having interchangable lenses is posibility to mount a real one.

Slowly but surely, I am considering replacement of the RX100 in my backpack to either a6000 or OM-D E-M10. I just miss few options.

And I definitely miss analog. I promised myself to shot more film this autumn but the RX100 handy candy just dominated me :)

Nope, its not sugar! Just missing the blue stuff.

I used an AI effect to give this photo a smoother finish and to make some major enhancements, to include adding a rainbow, roses, and lovely black swans. You can check out the original photo in my photo stream (same title). This is a genuine photo, just an extremely enhanced version. I had fun with this one! I wanted to share it since it has that Saint Patrick's Day feel to it with the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and the green colors.

In all the years i've been trying to shoot my chickadees, this through-the-window shot is the best I've been able to get, but it pales in comparison to my friends’. Here are three examples of what I would like to attain: 1) from Lydia, 2) another from Lydia and 3) yesterday’s shot by Jude.

Here’s

an article about the Carolina chickadee

The Khmer used a smiliar construction technique without mortar as the Inca in America. Each stones is individually shaped to be combined in the wall.

Also written as Preah Vihear Temple is an ancient Hindu temple built by the Khmer Empire, located on top of a 525-metre (1,722 ft) cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains, in the Preah Vihear province of Cambodia. Construction of the first temple on the site began in the early 9th century and is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Phone used by former President Getulio Vargas, who on August 24, 1954 committed suicide in his quarters on strong pressure military coup.

Getulio recorded in your schedule, on the day August 23, 1954, Monday: "Since the ministry has not reached a conclusion, I will decide: Determine that the military ministers maintain public order if the order is maintained, I will come with the license application. otherwise, the rebels here find my dead body."

Place: The Catete Palace is located in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was the seat of the Brazilian executive from 1897 to 1960. From that year, the seat of executive power was transferred to the newly founded city of Brasilia. From the 1970s, the palace has housed the Museum of the Republic, a position he continues to play to this day.

* I'm grateful for visit, favs and comments of my photo.

Using ND 10 stop for long 30 second exposure shot at sunrise (5:30am). As you can see the long exposure has created the impression of the moving waves but it still retains some shape. There is some mist that gives it that soft etherreal look. I particularly liked the way the early morning light hit the large rock nearest to the camera.

I created a black & white layer and then reduced the opacity to allow some colour to come through. I tried various levels but this seemed to work best to my eye. This image has many hits since it went in to Explore but I slightly prefer the light and texture in this later image see www.flickr.com/photos/mark-edwards/6963320364/in/photostream

I used to grow these flowers when I had a house and garden.

"Clematis is a genus of about 300 species within the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. Their garden hybrids have been popular among gardeners, beginning with Clematis × jackmanii, a garden standby since 1862; more hybrid cultivars are being produced constantly. " - Wikipedia

Water Buffalo

Cambodia still uses Water Buffalo to cultivate their farms. You see these big animals working for their living. We got up close and personal with a herd of them as we took an water buffalo cart ride. It was awesome and funny at the same time. All I could think of was God Bless our pioneers who came across the USA in Ox Carts, no easy feat! Siem Reap

I used to have quite a few finches that I raised back

around 1980-1990.

I had a pair of Australian Lady Gouldian Finches

and was able to raise some young from them.

The pair I had were captive bred.

This shot is from one of my winter projects.

I ended up making over $850.00 from that winter project.

While in todays terms that doesn't sound like a lot, back then dollars went a lot farther.

Hope the bright colors brighten your day.
