^ Ooops sorry, didn't mean to make them so big. I was experimenting with mobile photo posting and uploaded them straight from my phone while I was still in the woods. You can't see on your phone when they're out of focus either. Won't be doing that again.
Be careful what your uploading without seeing it ^
Oh no go on then

Wallaby in the garden tonight.

Very shy and elusive creatures. They have small pointy mouse shaped heads which contrasts with the broader muzzle on the kangaroos (which visit during daylight hours). The wallaby is mainly nocturnal.
This was taken from 50 metres away with a torch for illumination (far beyond the range of any flashgun).
1600 is the max iso on a modest 1000D so this is a handheld 4 second exposure at 250mm using the edge of a railing for some support.
Little and large :mid:

My current project, 1 of the parts to this project, due to sail (on a boat) to Nigeria on the 25th.
The finished installation will be this:

You must smell weldings, oil and salt all day.
Welding yes, there is an insane amount of welding going on, painting too.
It's in the final stages of construction so no oil yet and can't say I can smell the salt.
If you climb (yes climb) up to the top and look off the back across the water it has a view of downtown Ulsan. I'll try get a pic but I'm generally not up there til after dark.
And you forgot your nail polish.Quote:

Just received fro Internationas SOS:
South Korea: Expect heavy rainfall in southern, eastern areas around 8 October due to passage of Tropical Storm Danas
Personnel should expect heavy rainfall in the southern and eastern areas of the country around 8 October due to the passage of Tropical Storm Danas. While the storm is not expected to make landfall, its outer bands will affect the country as it passes over Japan on 6-8 October. According to the Korean Meteorological Administration ( KMA), Danas at 03.00 (local time) on 5 October was located approximately 304 miles (490km) north-west of Guam (US) and was moving in a west-north-western direction at approximately 15 miles per hour (24kph), with maximum sustained wind speeds of up to 47 mph (76kph). Meanwhile, Typhoon Fitow is no longer expected to impact South Korea as it continues to move in a western direction towards China.
Oh I'm gutted, bad weather means I can't get out to the ship...... :)
It pissed down on us tonight then cleared up the minute we were finished
This is a Velvet Mite. It is a tiny crab-like insect covered in a brilliant red velvet fur which lives in Australian temperate forests. Beautifully eye-catching colours which the camera struggles to capture. Don't know why they are so brightly coloured as birds must be able to see them easily although their slow ambling gait belies their role as fearsome predator at the macro-insect-world level. I think this is a female as it looks like an egg-sac attached underneath her abdomen.

^ Another cracker Loopy. My son wants to know what that is next to the velvet mite?
Good question Abers.
The body of the mite is only about 4mm long so whatever it is it is pretty small!
Wow, if it's that small in real life then the shots even better than I thought. I would have guessed it was over a centimetre at least.
Great shots folks.
This morning on my way to work.

^ Beautiful . . . certainly differs from my commute :)
Thanks OR. Apparently the hill has been continually settled since neolithic times and rumours are circulating among some archaeological groups, that theres possibly a Brigante queen buried around the area.
Went cycling today
What you're looking at is the World Trade Center from the Hudson River Bicycling Path.
^ Brilliant design.
Did you make it out? The storm was pretty ferocious here last night as I was watching the windows come closer and closer to caving in.Quote:

Personnel should continue to expect heavy rainfall in southern and eastern coastal areas on 9 October due to the passage of Typhoon Danas. Heavy rainfall and winds resulted in the cancellation of six international flights from Gimhae International Airport (PUS) in Gimhae (South Gyeongsang Province) on 8 October, though domestic flights were not interrupted. The Busan Port Authority also temporarily restricted ships from entering and leaving the port on the day.
According to the Korean Meteorological Administration ( KMA), at 04.00 (local time) on 9 October the storm was located approximately 93 miles (150km) south of the Liancourt Rocks (Dokdo) moving in a east-north-east direction at 25 miles per hour (40kph).

Very impressive. I bet the building in front was imposing at the time it was built. Looks dwarfed in comparison.
Happy couple getting hitched.

No modern wedding would be complete without a quick bridal selfie for her to chuck on FB to keep her friends up to date on the day's procedings! So the professional photographer with his collection of DSLRs and lenses is shooed away so the bride can have 5 minutes with her iPhone!

^^ No, the ship moved 110 miles North to escape the worst of it.

What lighting in used there Looper?
