A backlit hot air balloon envelope at the Great Reno Balloon Race!
12/n
This could have been such a nice photo, but the accounting firm, Edie Bailly, ruined it. Beautiful balloon. I love the tassels that give it a bit of an old stlye Victorian balloon look.

Southern Emerald-Toucanet
We were hiking along a trail in the El Dorado Nature Reserve when I noticed the weird shape of a tree trunk from the corner of my eye. Since I had learned to point my camera at everything weird, this toucanet looking out of a tree cavity greeted me through the viewfinder.

Meanwhile I'm quite behind on processing some #photos from some larger events I've been to, nothing professional, just hobby work, but it still stresses me out whenever I think about it.
By happenstance, two more of those events were this past weekend.
After taking a bunch of photos on Friday, I did the shopping Saturday, got home and started testing the disks and they finished one round of full surface testing just yesterday. [ continued ]
#harddrives#spinningRust #NAS
I had to decide -- more burn-in to check for early errors or just build the array and let it detect them? So I fired up mdadm to create my #RAID5 array and that took literally all day. Oh and today too. But its done now and I downloaded 15 GiB from one and 17 GiB from the other event off my main camera.
I can finally fire up #darktable and start culling and processing pictures.
Dear fellow photo #geeks, its not just you. It happens to all of us.
Also please be patient, I'll post #photos soon!
The Buller River shot from the swing bridge. Really enjoyed wandering around the old gold mining sites. Quite an old photo with a fresh edit.

Precious Feathers
This beautiful male white-tipped quetzal was nesting with its mate behind one of the El Dorado Nature Reserve's huts in Colombia. We also met them a few times during hikes in the forest. They are like large green forest spirits and have a beautiful metallic plumage.
The translations of "quetzal" from Nahuatl, the Aztec language, to English vary a bit. Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec deity, is literally translated to something like "serpent of precious feathers" with "coatl" translating to serpent. The full name of the related resplendent quetzal seems to be Quetzaltototl with "tototl" translating to bird. My completely amateur translatation of "quetzal" with no knowledge of the language is therefore "precious feathers" which I think is an apt name for these bird species.
Sources of translation: https://nahuatl.wired-humanities.org/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatl#Etymology
To be able to photograph in these dark forest conditions, I had to learn to go far below my comfort shutter speed of usually 1/500 s with the 600 mm (900 mm effective) telephoto lens. With some (forced) practice I was able to capture images like this one at 1/100 s handheld. My gimbal tripod was not an option, as it slowed me down too much during hikes, and the ability to react quickly was more important to me than deleting fewer blurry photos after each day.
