Soon these guys will be back in our garden for the winter. Wary, but very photogenic (aren’t all birds? 😉).
.
Repost from a couple of years ago: Watch this Eurasian Jay go to work on this feeder. I call them the “backyard bullies” since they chase everything else away when they’re around, including woodpeckers and magpies.
.
Like many birds, I love how they meticulously dismantle the larger seeds, while the little ones go down in a two-step “grab-and-gulp” process. See the middle part of the video at 25% speed to see what I mean...

Hungry fox... 🦊
.
During the summer, a family of foxes had a burrow under the foundation of a friend’s house. One afternoon I went over for a little close-up portrait photo shoot.
.
I like the lovely rendering here with a portrait lens (58mm f/1.4).
.
Wishing everyone a nice weekend! ☀️

Throwback Thursday to India - 3 years ago today.

A serene piggyback scene develops while waiting for a king to make an appearance at a pond in RanthambhorePark 🐯.

Thanks to @bhasmangmehta for organizing the whirlwind 3 day tour from Delhi! 🇮🇳
.
Looking forward to going back, whenever that may be... 🤔

🔈Sound on!

Last Saturday night was almost cloudless and moonless. 🤩 Now that it’s getting a bit colder the stars seem so close you can almost touch them (if you’re rural, of course). As a bonus I saw a few meteors as well. ☄️ ✨
.
Here’s a quick edit of two timelapses of roughly 90min each, from two different spots near our house. So many stars! 👽📡
.
I just love the way Orion rises this time of year! 🏹 ... Near the end of the second sequence. 🌌
.
The slight “blur” on the stars is intentionally added using #lrtimelapse

And speaking of chilly, major temperature drop in our area this week... from 20 to 5 Celsius! 🥶

Yet another star trail shot around Polaris. Not much foreground in this one but this composite has almost 500 exposures... 492 to be precise. 15 seconds each with 5 seconds between exposures for 3 images per minute.
.
In order that Photoshop doesn’t grind to a halt I process these in batches - I export 4000px jpegs from Lightroom (half resolution of D850), then work in stacked groups of 100 images in order to mask the numerous plane light trails. Finally I stack these individual composites together for a final image to retouch and flatten. Exporting the images from Lightroom takes a while but once that’s done it takes about an hour...
.
Nikon D850 and Samyang 14mm f/2.8.
.
3 images per minute @ 15 second exposure each ~ 1000 ISO. ✨

A star trail stack of about 100 images from August

A star trail stack of about 100 images from August 20 (new moon), taken from our driveway. Bit of distortion in the corners but I don’t mind the result, even with Instagram-crop. The orange glow is light from the town of La Chaux-de-Fonds, about 10km away.
.
I limited the ISO to 1000 in order to not blow out (whiten/overexpose) the colour of the stars.
.
Nikon D850 and Samyang 14mm f/2.8.
.
2 images per minute @ 20 second exposure each ✨
