Don't rub salt in the wound!
That was certainly not my intention. I thought you may also be interested in those bird facts: you were/are seemingly lucky to have spotted that specimen in the UK, so your shot is in itself a great feat. I like that bird, but I never noticed the variations in its singing mentioned in the article. I will need to listen more carefully.
EDIT: not sure why I assumed your shot was taken in the UK. I still like your hoopoe pic.

For such ceremonial shots, you need the sun, otherwise even a DSLR with its large sensor and high ISO will not allow you to get a decent result without Photoshop.
And this bird flies to me rarely and only in the rain.
Regards.
]]>]]>Because of this bird, I now have three cameras and a bunch of optics for a Pentax SLR.
He flew to my garden and wanted to capture it. If I knew then that "birds" are the most expensive thing!

BlessN900's soft-HDR really had a bad day with this complexity and even more of the shots show these mirage like echoes. It increases the drama of the motive, so I kind of still enjoy those glitches.

A.k.a.: You have been weechatting far too long!
Shot with F(ranken)Cam on N900 and "long" exposure while moving the cam. I like how it is unfocused and that the text seems to float out of the screen in waves.

Edit 20230307: Strange! I had to recapture 2 of the 3 images again into archive.org and have no idea why they worked when posting them 1st. Archive.org has alzheimers? Until today I thought using archive.org would give nice permanent URLs to stuff... *sigh!*

...but not a spider.
I may have had an overdose of maths and probably therefor like geometric structures.
(Shot with BlessN900 soft cam on a Nokia N900.)
]]>There was skill in judging the light/aperture/Fstop - & then there was the darkroom....
Those were the good old days......
Edit: I do have a 'modern' hybrid & a 'modern' compact, but they rarely get used, for one thing they are so small, I can barely hold/use them!
