The image shows a natural scene with a small waterfall or cascade of water flowing over rocks. The area around the water is surrounded by greenery, possibly moss and small plants, and there are some trees or branches visible on the right.

The image depicts a scenic path through a forested area. There is a person walking along the path, accompanied by a dog on a leash. The path is lined with tall trees, and in the background, there are mountains partially covered with snow. The sky is blue with a few clouds.

A vivid green gecko with striking red markings on its face and back clings vertically to the rough bark of a tree, its eye sharply in focus against a blurred background. The texture of its skin and the intense color contrast create a dramatic and detailed close-up.

𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗘𝗻𝗴): AA female black redstart perches on a wire mesh fence against a gray background greatly softened by the telephoto lens's blur. The bird has its back to the photographer and is looking at him so we can clearly see its head.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗰𝗶𝗼́𝗻 (𝗘𝘀𝗽): En una valla de malla de alambre está posada una hembra de colirrojo tizón contra un fondo gris muy suavizado por el desenfoque del teleobjetivo. El ave está de espaldas al fotógrafo y le mira de modo que podemos ver claramente su cabeza.

Coccinella septempunctata on reindeer lichen

#nature #naturephotography #insects #wildlife #wildlifephotography

As teased yesterday, this weekend we fly over the ruhr area / Essen with a Gyrocopter. A flight I made back in 2017.

As an introduction: The first two photos show the Gyrocopter. The pilot in the front, me in the back.
A Gyrocopter has a tail rotor that is powered by an engine and a top rotor that is unpowered, it rotates just through the wind.
The Gyrocopter can't take of vertically like a helicopter, it need a normal runway like aircrafts but due to the top rotor it's pretty stable and can fly as slow as around 40 km/h (It can't hover in the air like a Helicopter but can go pretty slow) and at top speed around 100 km/h.
The aircraft is open on both sides with just a windshield in the front, so you have an open view to both sides, which is pretty amazing for making photos or videos.

I made the flight with 3 cameras aiming for video (but still haven't used the videos yet. This was my first flight with filming out of an aircraft so I made some mistakes and my Gear back then wasn't optimal for this. It's always a learning experience!):
- My normal Video camera (a Sony FDR AX100E at the time) in my Hand (secured so it can't fall out)
- A GoPro Hero 3 mounted below the top rotor (see photo 3)
- A GoPro Hero 4 Black mounted below the Gyrocopter (see photo 4)

The flight startet at the Marl Loemühle Airport (EDLM) and went straight to Essen, then we followed the ruhr a bit, visited some other locations nearby and flew back to the airport.

This was really a nice experience and you have a really nice view of the green ruhr area from there.
We also made a surprise meeting in the air!

Misumena vatia. Thomise Variable en plein souper. Son camouflage est tellement bien réussi que j'ai d'abord vu sa proie avant de la voir elle.
(faut vraiment que j'investisse dans un objectif macro, je galère trop).
