  1. Not sure what the rules are here (if any), so my apologies if this is not apropos. This image was made by photographing the ground glass of a camera obscura with a digital camera. The resulting file was converted to monochrome and used to make a digital negative. The negative was then printed on salted-paper. The image is about 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) square. http://gorga.org/blog/wp-content/gallery/2021-06-02/c-stone-church-antrim-center.jpg Regards, --- Frank (www.gorga.org/blog)
  2. Thanks for the reply. On a second look, I too think that it is a snipe. The woodcock has a reddish/orange breast. I have had woodcocks on my mind since last spring when I go to observe their mating behavior for the first time. Alas, I did not get any photos worth showing as it was too dark and the birds too far away. Hopefully next year!!!
  3. Thanks for the info/clarification.
  4. Aurora Damsel (male) - approximately 1.5 inches long http://gorga.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/DSC3706.jpg Made back at the end of May using a 300 mm prime lens plus a 36 mm extension tube. Cropped to about one-half of the original frame.

  6. Little Bluet (male), about one inch long; made yesterday with a 300 mm f/4 and a 36 mm extension tube. http://gorga.org/blog/wp-content/gallery/2020-06-21/dsc2472.jpg
  7. We have two loon chicks on our local lake for the first time in living memory. We have had nests four of the past five years, but the first three failed... two due to predation, one cause unknown. Mortality in chicks is high, but we'll keep our fingers crossed. http://gorga.org/blog/wp-content/gallery/2020-06-11/dsc5218.jpg
  8. Hello all, I will start this weeks thread with a photo of a Carolina Wren. Made in March 2016 at the Corkscrew Audubon Sanctuary in the Naples, Florida area. Regards, --- Frank
  9. One from the archives (June 2015)... Downy Woodpecker Feeding Interaction ... juvenile male (on left) being fed by adult male. I am always amazed at how often juvenile birds are so much fatter than the adults that feed them... ahhh, to be young again! :) --- Frank (www.gorga.org/blog)
  10. Leslie, Thanks for posting. All of the photos are very nice. My favorite is your first.... for the "strangeness". ;-) Unexpected is always good. When I fist saw it my mind said "sandstone", then I read your description and the sutures became obvious. --- Frank
  11. Bill, A fantastic and unusual photo. Thanks for playing along. --- Frank
  12. Mark, Do not despair! I can only speak for myself, but it has taken years (no make that decades) of practice (and lots of so, so photos) to get to this point. Keep at it! --- Frank
  13. Laura, Thanks for posting. The macro domain is always fascinating. All your photos are very nice, but I think that the slime mold is my favorite. I am a retired biochemistry professor. There is a large body of biochemical research on the intercellular signaling that allows slime molds to organize themselves into these fantastic multicellular structures. I don't know much about the subject, but I did attend a few seminars on the topic over the years. --- Frank
  14. David, Thanks for participating. I am having trouble choosing a favorite as all are spectacular! --- Frank
