You can't get there directly from that link, but the following longer link will 
take you there (albeit with an ignorable nag pop-up)

It's nice living near San Francisco!  Some months ago I visited the de Young 
museum
when they had an exhibition of Ansel Adams photographs, and now (until July 
21st)
they're showing photographs from Irving Penn, including a special section 
featuring
images from San Francisco's "Summer of Love".

the guardian doesnt let me in but I just put his name in google with 
image search and got tons of stuff..  we were shooting the city at the 
same time - the 60's through the 80's .. I've only shown others a very 
few photos that remotely resembled these cringe-worthy records of how it 
was , in the late 60's and early 70's in NY .. most of them are mean 
spirited showing everyone and everything in the worst possible light.. 
(figuratively).  They make me sad.

Re: PESO: Grey Heron

2024-03-22 Thread Alan C
Larry, if you watch the WildEarth channel you will see plenty of that. 
Man is just as bad but nowadays the prey animals & birds are (hopefully) 
killed in a more civilized fashion. I wonder how many people realise 
that a juicy steak was once part of a living animal? Then we have the 
Vegans who are totally opposed to man being at the top of a food chain. 
Haven't heard them complaining about the Lions or Orcas yet!

After I saw a grey heron swallowing two coot chicken in two successive flights 
across the pool nearby it is no longer my favourite bird.

Very nice! I think Herons make great subjects because of their alertness and 
the way they pause (to look for prey) rather than being in continuous motion. 
It’s always nice to see images of these impressive birds,

Re: PESO: A strange looking bird

2024-03-22 Thread Alan C

Thanks for your comments. We spent a W/E at a rustic lodge in the area. 
Unfortunately it was very hot (over 40°C every day) - thank goodness for 
aircons!


The back lighting & glare was terrible. That's about as good as I could 
get. Also, the shutter speed was a bit slow (1/1000) for H/H at 500mm.


Lake Panic is an impoundment on a tributary of the Sabi River which runs 
past the Skukuza Camp. The bird hide is on a bend in the upper reaches - 
a Mecca for bird photographers who sit there in numbers for the whole 
day with their long lenses. Various animals appear on the banks too. Not 
my scene at all - we just paid a short visit.

Interesting bird!  The body looks sharp but the head doesn’t; I’m guessing that 
they don’t hold still very much. The highlights are also rather intense.

I always enjoy your photos of the flora and fauna in the opposite corner of the 
globe!

An African Snake Darter at Lake Panic, near Skukuza Camp, Kruger Park. 
Unfortunately back lit. These birds are closely related to Cormorants but swim 
with their bodies totally immersed giving the impression of a swimming snake. 
The second image (by a fellow photographer, Ian van Romburgh) shows that very 
well.
