Every now and again I like to go through old photos and see what catches my eye that I missed last time... this is why I never delete photos! These are the results of my lastest rummage! This photos were all taken in 2014 and 2015.
These ones are from my holiday in Berlin 2014.
Never let anyone stop you from pursuing your dreams!
Here are two of my winged Origami creatures:
The Winged Giraffe
and the Winged Bear
Each is folded from a single square of of double-colored 7,5 x 7,5 cm paper.

It was a bit of a challenge to take the photo with the models balancing on one hand and the camera in the other. :)

This crow was one of many making his/her living from the shellfish on Swansea Bay.
It took flight to avoid the attentions of our dogs.

ODC-Winged Creatures
Taken Out The Kitchen Window.
Not sure if this one has mites or it's having what's called an "unusual molt." I'm going to guess and say it's mites, now I've seen a few more Jays starting to lose their feathers.
Appreciation post:
We have been working with Jeroen Settels for quite a few shoots and using his amazing birds to add to our images. After seeing an old painting of a man with a bird we got inspired to showcase this beautifull person with one of his many animals, a young Gyrfalcon, always depicted with kings.
Jeroen has a great knowledge of his birds of prey and has some great stories to tell when it comes to this magnificent creatures.
He's currently driven to realise his dream and build a park for his birds of prey. Not only will it become a home for his birds, but it will also be a place of education, provide jobs and an awesome way to interact with them.
To realise this, every bit can help, so I would like to ask your consideration in funding his dream. www.settels-roofvogels.nl/crowdfunding

This is the first novel in Farmer’s World of Tiers series. They are set within a series of artificially-constructed universes, created and ruled by decadent beings who are genetically identical to humans, but who regard themselves as superior, the inheritors of an advanced technology they no longer understand.
Robert Wolff finds a strange horn in an empty house that holds the key to a different universe. To blow that horn would open up a door through space-time and permit entry to a cosmos whose dimensions and laws are very different from our own. That other universe is a place of tiers, world upon world piled upon each other like the landings of a mountain. The one to blow that horn would ascend those steps, from creation to creation, until he comes face to face with the being whose brainchild it was. But what if that maker of universes was a madman? An imposter? A super-criminal? That is the premise of Farmer's novel.
This serene capture shows a female Village Weaver enjoying a refreshing bath in the wetlands of The Gambia. The Village Weaver, known for its intricate nest-building and vibrant plumage in males, is a common sight across West Africa. Here, the female takes a peaceful break from the busy routine, fully immersed in the moment. Witnessing these little details of nature always reminds me of the beauty of wildlife in its simplest moments. Taken during my recent trip to The Gambia, this shot captures the delicate balance between wildlife and their natural habitat.

I found an old box of Impossible 600 B&W film in the bottom of the fridge... it's pretty old, so I wasn't sure if it would produce anything useful, do I decided to just run it though my INstant lab to produce some images from my on-going 'Magnificent 7' project.
When my wife and I were on vacation we stopped in at Magic Wings in South Deerfield, Massachusetts. There are hundreds of butterflies floating around, but they move so fast that it's hard to get some good shots. These are a couple of keepers.
This image was produced using a technique called freelensing. This involves simple dismounting your lens and holding it a few millimetres away from your camera. You can then move the lens backwards and forwards to focus and tilt the lens for a tilt-shift type effect.
I've found this technique can work well with a wide variety of lenses from standard modern AF lenses, to classic manual focus lenses, to various weird lenses like 35mm projection lenses.
You images will be very low contrast and hazy because of all the extraneous light that will reach the sensor, but I like this effect. You can use lots of dehire slider in Lightroom to cut through the haze, which tend to introduce quite a bit of false colours, which again, is an effect I quite like.
This image was shot using a classic manual focus Pentax 50mm f1.2 lens.
I don't know how many times I sang this song when I first saw a kookaburra in my life. It reminded me of grade school where we used to sing it all the time and made it as a round song. Now come join and sing with me! Have a great day , my dear Flickr friends!
Kookaburra
Written By: Marion Sinclair
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Gay your life must be
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for me
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
That's not a monkey that's me
Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail
Gets a boo-boo in his tail
Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra!
Oh how life can be
Shot from about 30 feet away. I used the digital teleconverter at the max end of the zoom and the lens stabilizer. Overall okay for a small sensor point and shoot.
One morning very early it was seen swinging nonchalantly in the mangroves beside Currumbin Creek in Beree Badalla Reserve. An extraordinarily exotic creature like this had never been seen before in these parts. Some said it had been thrown from a buggy or stroller but I was not so sure — it had wings!
I looked recently at some images I took a while ago, and came to the conclusion that I definitely miss those colours. We need more sunny days here, just like the one I had when photographing that little fella! .. and the sooner the better. It has been a long winter.
