The View In My Airbnb Looks Like A Painting
Planb Shamone 3 years ago
It is Lake Wakatipu, but its not Queenstown. Its Kingston. 45 mins South
Robert van Deventer 3 years ago
I'm 99% sure that's New Zealand and pretty much every turn you make looks like a painting.
Bored Panda wanted to learn more about nature photography, so we got in touch with professional photographer Dominic Sberna, from Ohio. He kindly shared his insights about capturing the colors that we see, what to keep in mind if you're just starting out, and the fundamentals to keep in mind.
With autumn in full swing, we're seeing a lot of gorgeous colors popping up everywhere. Unfortunately, there's often quite a big difference between what we see and what capture with our phones and cameras. Many of you Pandas might relate to that. We asked photographer Dominic for his opinion about capturing nature's colors 'as they are.'
He said that it all comes down to remembering what the view looked like and editing and adjusting the photos afterward using digital software.
"A camera can do only such a good job of capturing the colors, but bringing out those details in post-processing is what's going to make your images pop," he explained.

The Way These Water Droplets Collected On The Edge Of My Strawberry Plant

It’s actually water that the strawberry plants used to transport substances from their roots to the leaves. Usually the water evaporated, but at night and when the air ist humid, the water will be pushed out of the leaves and drops will collect. It’s called guttation :-)

I Found A Pink Grasshopper
Amanda Rose 3 years ago
Pseudochorthippus parallelus, color is determined genetically with some populations having a higher chance of being pink.
summer 3 years ago
hy are some grasshoppers pink? It is estimated that there is a 1% chance of seeing a pink grasshopper during a person's lifetime. According to National Geographic, grasshoppers can turn pink due to a genetic mutation, known as erythrism, which causes a reddish discoloration.Jun 16, 2022
"Of course, you need to take a good exposure and overall photo in the first place too."
When it comes to advice that the pro would give amateurs who are just now taking their first steps into the realm of nature photography, Dominic said that it's essential not to overthink and just start taking photos.
"Just get out there and shoot. Don't always be so focused on the obvious because you may miss the subtle. Be aware of your surroundings," he gave some tips.
Meanwhile, photographer Dominic said that depending on the type of nature photography that you're doing, it can vary greatly, compared to others forms of the art.
"It [nature photography] is really a catch-all category that has subgroups, but at the core nature and portrait are the same. You need to have good composition and the audience should know what the subject is."

Barn not a safe place for babies. Get the adult cats neutered and get the kittens a safe place to grow up. My family's suburban farm was a dumping ground for unwanted kitties, very sad. Kittens cannot fend for themselves and cats cannot survive on mice alone - abandoning unwanted animals on a farm is extremely cruel. My dad's vet would neuter all our cats at cost, and we'd find homes and shelters to take the cats and kittens. I recall one time someone even dropped off a near blind old cat. Dad took him in the house and he never left my dad's side after that. Old Micky was his best bud for nearly 10 years.

72 Carat Tourmaline
idrow1 3 years ago
For anyone wondering what it's worth, the OP stated, "well so the guy that brought it in to show me said he talked to his dealer and tourmaline goes for about $600 USD/carat right now retail. so you do the math" Which comes out to $43,200.
Miriam L 3 years ago
But it potentially could sell for a lot more, no? I don't know if such large stones are uncommon for tourmaline, but the size, clarity and colour all seem like it would be more than just "value of small carat" x "weight" even if it's not that rare. Either way it's a lot of money. Thank you for doing the math

Bad Alchemy 3 years ago (edited)
Okay, I really love Morning Doves. But they are the stupidest birds ever. They will make a "nest" in/on anything. The word "nest" is really generous. It's usually three twigs and a random leaf. I've had them nest and lay eggs in my flower pots, my old work boots, a half-burned citronella candle, a plate I forgot about and left on my garden table, and a pile of cleaning rags that were destined for the trash. And the eggs never hatch, because they roll right off the "nest". The only clutch that ever hatched were the ones I rescued from the plate and put into a small basket with a bunch of torn up rags and the twigs/leaf. Really, I don't know how the species survives. But they're such pretty birds. Edit: Okay, Mourning Doves, thank you. I did not know that. I find their cooing sweet rather than sad.
Erica Ventura 3 years ago
Yes! Their nests are always total garbage. We had some make a nest on top of a pile of power tools while we were in the middle of a backyard cleanup. We called the bird rescue center in our area and because they are a native species to where we live we were not allowed to touch or bother the nest at all which ground our backyard clean up to a halt. No eggs that we ever saw, and the minute they abandoned the nest we dismantled it. I seen them make up pile of twigs on top of a balcony railing and call it a nest.

Came Across A Dual Colored Tulip Today
Erin Eubanks 3 years ago
Of course completely neglected but growing just fine. And if I tried to grow this in my backyard I'd kill it.
Taking a quality photo of the treeline, a weird vegetable, or the sky can be challenging when you consider all the things you have to take into account. From the lighting and the angle of the photo to how you plan on framing the shot. However, that pales in comparison to how tough it can be when taking pics of nature’s residents, the animals scurrying about and going about their day.
Not too long ago, Bored Panda spoke about animal and pet photography with Toronto-based professional photographer Karen Weiler, of Posh Pets Photography, as well as Michelle Wood, a member of the popular and feel-good Comedy Pet Photography Awards and The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards team.
According to pet photographer Karen, the experience of photographing animals depends very much on the species, as well as the individual. She regularly works with cats and dogs, but also takes photos of other domestics, occasionally.

"Rabbits, guinea pigs, and hedgehogs are fun, but working with them is completely different. It is all about learning about their behaviors and finding the way that they communicate so that you can capture their attention in a kind and enjoyable way," Karen, the founder of Posh Pets Photography, said.
"The biggest difference between studio and outdoor sessions is the fact that you WILL need additional light in the form of strobe/flash/constant light sources for indoor, studio work. While I personally choose to blend ambient and flash ‘in the wild’ during most of my sessions, there are many photographers that use natural light only outside,” the pet photographer told Bored Panda.

“It is good to be able to do both as some pets do react adversely to strobe light. It’s rare, but it happens. So, having the option to photograph using available, natural light is an asset," she said.
Meanwhile, getting to know your camera and anticipating animal behavior will set you up for success. “Also, try to control your lighting—even if it just means altering your position to take the photo from a better angle. But, ultimately, if you see a moment, take the photograph. It is better to have tried and have a chance of capturing the moment than to have missed it completely.”

Michelle, from the Comedy Pet Photography Awards team, noted that when it comes to photography, you often have a lot more control over your pet (unless it’s a cat!) than a wild animal.
"With a pet, it might be possible to help the narrative along a little, with treats, commands, some training, and help from whoever happens to be in the house. It’s a bit trickier out in the bush when observation and patience are key. But there are so many types of amazing wildlife to photograph and some much closer to home than you think. And you always need a bit of luck in both genres," Michelle told us.
One of the best qualities for a photographer to have, according to her, is patience. You need to learn an animal’s habits and routine inside and out, and you can’t rush the process.

Most importantly though, there should be visible line if this is two merged fruit (which wouldn't happen anyway), or, if it's a fruit that split but only *almost* such that the flower/fruit stayed whole and a gap formed just within the stem, the resulting two stems should be really close together.

It does seem to have 2 stems together on top, but I see what looks to be a rusty nail on the side.

The Way These Mushrooms Form An Almost Perfect Circle

Oh that's no coincidence, it's the same mushroom! They share a "root" body that's underground, in the centre of the circle.

Fairy rings like this can reach enormous size (biggest ever found is in France at 2000 feet diameter) and can live for centuries (that one in France is estimated at around 700 years).

A Lonely Remora Attached To My Leg While I Was Snorkeling

Technically yes, but it's no different than you using your palm to create suction against a flat surface. You might be thinking of a lamprey, which uses teeth to latch on to another sea creature.

I never knew squirrels could be melanistic. Albino, yes... it's stunning. And probably why it's being tracked.

Black squirrels are very common in Canada, especially southern Ontario.

My House Geckos (North Queensland, Australia) Are Wrestling…
Amanda Rose 3 years ago
House geckos are wonderful to have around. They are also a good luck symbol in a number of cultures (Asia in particular). We had them all over the place in Singapore.

I have hundreds of them in my house. I love them, but unfortunately they're pests here and they take away from the native geckos.

Neither the lead nor the copper jacket would harm a carbide-toothed saw blade, they are both quite soft. Steel nails from people attaching things to trees definitely do cause damage.

I think it is on purpose. Most of the weeds are primroses, that can be bought at stores. They donť grow in these colours normally, they are usually pale yellow.

Nicotine helps against some bird pests, so some bird species have actually been observed to use cigarettes when building their nests

M O'Connell 3 years ago
I think you're right that they should stop depositing fresh butts in this particular bucket, but the bird likely chose this spot because it was dry, elevated and protected from predators, and very unlikely to harbor parasitic insects which could harm the chicks.

the thing about having access to casting resin is you have to resist the urge to encase EVERYTHING in it.

Came Across This Lamp Full Of Bugs While Delivering
David Paterson 3 years ago
Christmas beetles, we call them over here. They come out in plague proportions and are easy to catch and pick up. It feels really great having them claw their little way over your hand. They die within a few days of coming up out of the ground. Beautiful shiny golden colour. I'd guess that some kid has collected them and put them in there for decoration. Perhaps intending to make them into jewellery.
