A young Leopard resting in the mottled light of a tree⁠
When you are on a location, like when I was on this safari in #botswana, you don't get to "pick your light" or "pick your time". You need to be ready to do the best you can with the experience you're given. This day we were treated to an amazing experience watching a mom and two adolescent leopards. We had this mottled mid day light and I was able to time my shots to be when the face was well lit.⁠

🌟 #nightsky photography is rewarding! BUT it took a while before I was taking images I liked. There are a lot of things to remember and "rules" of sorts you need to know before consistently getting clear shots. Then there is the processing. A "straight out of the camera" night sky images doesn't look like the image above. Its often flat and lifeless and it takes some understanding of image editing to bring out the stars, depth and colours.⁠
⁠
This image was taken in one of the darkest places in southern Ontario on a hot August night, or was it late July?? (I remember it well, Lol). Actually I do remember the night well as it was quiet except for the sound of crickets in the field, it was so peaceful. I decided to process it a little "warmer" in colour since it was a warm summer night.⁠

Are You Lookin' At Me?

A King penguin gives me a curious look during a previous trip to #southgeorgiaisland

🐧 King Penguins are our second largest Penguin Species next to the Emperor. It has no real land predators (an occasional seal might chase it down) so they will often walk right up to you and check you, and your gear, out. In real life they are bigger than you expect and can easily be 36" tall and more.

Blue Heron
Took a walk around Fairy Lake here at home to see what I could see. And this was what I saw! The light is low and the Heron is in the shade making it necessary to shoot this at a high ISO (8000) and at maximum telephoto (600mm). With a little nose reduction applied it turned out to be a pleasing image of this wonderful bird.

Yellow Rumped (Myrtle) Warbler Oh the controversy

Yellow Rumped (Myrtle) Warbler

Oh the controversy! It turns out that there may be a return in North America to using the distinct names "Myrtle Warbler" for the eastern and northern variety, like in this post, and the western and more southern variety (Audubon's Warbler). The eastern variety has a white neck while the Audubon has a yellow neck. As it turns out through a very large study of their DNA, they are indeed distinct species. I'm not an avid birder, but thought this was interesting that we are still learning so much about the world around us!
