A barn swallow delivering a meal to one of its hungry nestlings.

Or perhaps conducting a choir?

From a recent photography workshop I was running on Mull.

My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of #TheNeedles.

Taken as the #moon set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.

It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar #IsleofWight #photography

Two huge chalk stacks with a red and white striped lighthouse at the end. The setting full moon appears to be balancing on top of the lighthouse. The colour of the sea and sky is a muted blue, almost a denim like colour owing the sun being on the verge of rising.

It's been a while since I've taken a photo! This is the Zizkov Tower in Prague, Czech Republic. It's said to be the second ugliest building in the world (second only to the Morris A. Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore). However, living in the area around it, you can't help but love it. It's a symbol that watches over you when you come home from a pub, and sits on the horizon when you're out with your family. Plus, it'll look amazing in 700 years! #photography #prague

One hundred percent agree! In my 65 years on this planet, I have never called for- or taken a thing I own in for repair, with the exception of front end alignments on my vehicles, because I don't have the equipment to do it. One small correction to this flier, however, it should read: "If you aren't allowed to fix it, you don't own it." Not everyone has the knowledge or interest in fixing things. And yo, #Sony #Photography, this flier applies to you, big time.)
A flier that states: Repair Manifesto We hold these truths to be self-evident. If you can't fix it, you don't own it. Repair is better than recycling: Making our things last longer is both more efficient and more cost-effective than mining them for raw materials. Repair saves you money: Fixing things is often free, and usually cheaper than replacing them. Doing the repair yourself saves you money. Repair teaches engineering: The best way to find out how something works is to take it apart. Repair saves the planet: Earth has limited resources. Eventually we will run out. The best way to be efficient is to reuse what we already have. Repair connects people and things. Repair is war on entropy. Repair is sustainable. We have the right: To devices that can be opened. To repair documentation for everything. To repair things in the privacy of our own homes. To error codes & wiring diagrams. To choose our own repair technician. To remove "do not remove" stickers. To non-proprietary fasteners. To replace any & all consumables ourselves. To troubleshooting instructions & flowcharts. To available, reasonably-priced service parts. Because repair: Is independence. Saves money & resources. Requires creativity. Makes consumers into contributors. Inspires pride in ownership. Join the revolution with ifixit[dot]com.

There is a feather out of place.

I like the way the crest looks on this female northern cardinal. I didn't notice the odd feather on the wing until I started processing the photograph. It makes me wonder if something happened or did, I just catch her before her all fixed up for the day. A fun thing about spring is everything turns green, a really nice background for bird photos.

#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #birds #birdsofmastodon #birdwatching #NorthernCardinal

This is a female northern cardinal. She is standing on some brick pavers that I put down years ago to define my bird feeder area in the middle of the yard. Some of the rough brick color and texture is visible through the green grass. The background of this picture is mostly very green grass. The cardinal is facing right with her right side facing the camera. The cardinal's crest i very prominent and pretty. A dark purple front edge sticks straight up from the top of her thick conical orange beak. The crest tapers like a fan to the back of her head and the color quickly fades from the dark front edge to orange, then gets lighter until it blends with her light brownish orange face and body. There is a black ring that circles her beak, and her black eye appears to stare forward. Her right wing, that lays neatly against her body, is a mixture of orange and black, but there appears to be a purplish feather out of place at the shoulder. Her orangish tail sticks straight back parallel with the ground. Pink legs reach down to feet that are hidden by grass.

Holy moly!! Lightning caught mid-strike as it hits a tree. ⚑ 🌳 😲

I hope the photographer was using an extremely long-range telephoto lens, as lightning will travel along root systems, which can extend some distance away depending upon the type of tree.

Vertical photograph; click to see the full strike and whole tree (or what's left of it).

Lightning zaps a tree, leaving a trail of fire all the way to the ground. What makes this especially dangerous is that the electricity will spread along the root system. Vertical photograph; click to see the lightning and the whole tree (or what's left of it). The photographer is Debbie Parker.

I drove all day from Death Valley to Monument Valley chasing storms in fall of 2021. Got completely skunked, lightning-wise, but at the very last minute the sun broke through the clouds for about 5 minutes before setting and threw the towers into this stunning alpenglow, with a little rainbow on the far left.

A dramatic scene looking out over a broad desert plain with three massive, bright orange stone towers. The sky is dark and stormy and the foreground is in shadow. There is a small glimpse of rainbow to the left of one of the towers. The towers themselves are bathed in deep red-orange sunset glow.

There are many reasons to loathe Amazon but closing DPReview with no plan for archival is now on my top 5 list. If you're not a photographer it might sound like a big deal but that site is the most comprehensive & informative collection of camera knowledge that exists in addition to being a still-thriving community. Every time I get new gear I literally spend hours on it researching. This is such a gut punch for anyone who needs to understand their equipment. #photography

Amazon has plans to lay off at least 27,000 workers this year, including 9,000 that were announced in an internal email Monday morning. One unexpected casualty: Digital Photography Review, also known as DPReview, is losing its entire editorial staff, and the site will stop publishing on April 10.
The announcement post, written by DPReview General Manager Scott Everett, says that new pieces will continue to be posted through April 10, and "the site will be locked" afterward. It's unclear what will happen to the site's content afterwardβ€”the post promises only that the site's articles "will be available in read-only mode for a limited period afterwards." Any photos and text that readers have uploaded to their accounts can beΒ requested and downloaded until April 6, "after which we will not be able to complete the request."

Amazon layoffs will shut down camera review site DPReview.com after 25 years

When y’all argue to abolish copyright so you can use other people’s photos, be aware that you are aren’t sticking it to corporations. You’re mostly sticking it indie artists who barely make rent.

Photographers, on average, make about $18/hr. That’s about half the rate of a high school teacher. Asking them to give up rights to their work is not a great look.

i wouldn't say this is my most exciting picture in the world, no cute birds or anything, but i really like it as a desktop wallpaper. i mean its what my current wallpaper is lol. i put it up on ko-fi as a pay-what-you-want download. it's yours to have for whatever price you want! i'm currently unemployed so would love to make a little money from my photographs but only if you have the means, you downloading it at all would mean a lot to me

Picked up a Fuji X-Pro1 11 years ago while I was still using mostly Canon. Today I have a whole family of X-trans sensor Fujis (and one of these is my daughter's camera, with another in "joint custody mode" between the two of us).

More than happy with this camera and sensor system. So happy I started to box up my final Canon lenses for sale today.

This is the best photo of magnetic core memory I've ever taken. IBM, early 60s. Shot with a microscope lens mounted on a 35mm B&W digital camera. No post! (I got into the habit of never doing any post-processing while documenting historic artifacts for the museum. Photoshop not allowed!) #retrocomputing #photography #rcsri

I used this shot for the cover of my book of images from our museum:

This lighthouse is SO UNIQUE! It's called Þrídrangar, which means "three rock pillars". It is located 4.5 miles (7.2 kilometres) off the southwest coast of Iceland, in the archipelago of Vestmannaeyjar, often described as the most isolated lighthouse in the world. The lighthouse was built there in 1939.

It's such a INCREDIBLE location for a lighthouse, perched on a rock in Iceland's wild surf. Originally constructed and accessible only by scaling the rock on which it is situated, it is now accessible by helicopter since the construction of a helipad.

Kamoinge is a group of black Photographers who formed in 1963.
Their mission statement: "Honour, document, preserve, & represent the history & culture of the African Diaspora with integrity & respect for humanity through the lens of Black Photographers"
This wonderful work is important to counterbalance the whitewashing of #History by mainly white, middle-class historians/reporters throughout time.

This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.

The colors are original: this is an #autochrome, using the first process for color #photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.

The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.

very early color photography picturing two young women in a Paris public garden. they are casually arms in arms, as if in conversation, and they are dressed in suprisingly modern fashion.
