The Flickr Myotis Image Generatr

Same procedure as every year:
At the end of the years, I want to show a few of my old slides again:

Myotis daubentonii
Daubenton's Bat
Wasserfledermaus
Vandflagermus

Digitized slide from August 1995, the EXIF data refer to the camera used for digitizing, not to the original slide. The location indicated is not exactly to the point, but within a radius of 10 km

All my bat photos were taken as part of an authorized study of a bat roost.

Myotis daubentonii

Bats are mammals in the order Chiroptera, which comes from Greek and means “hand-wing.” These animals are found almost anywhere on Earth, except for polar regions and extreme deserts. Bats have a wide-ranging diet that includes insects, fruit, fish, and even the blood of large animals. Some bats, like the Mexican free-tailed bat, can eat up to 1,200 mosquitoes per hour, often consuming their body weight in insects each night. There are 154 bat species native to North America, with the majority of those found in Mexico.

Wie schon zum Ende der letzten paar Jahre, möchte ich wieder ein paar digitalisierte Dias zeigen:

Dia von 1995, die EXIF-Daten beziehen sich auf die Digitalisierung, nicht auf das Originaldia.

Alle meine Fledermausfotos wurden im Rahmen einer genehmigten Untersuchung eines Fledermausquartiers aufgenommen.

Old illustration of Red bat (upper left) and Little brown bat (lower right). By unidentified author, publ. in the U.S., ca 1874

Please help or just share your opinion: only this bat pulls some thread behind his right wing and has something whitish stuck around his mouth and on his tongue.

I guess this can be spider's web, and maybe unlucky moth scales (moth could have been stuck to the web shortly before it was found by the bat), or just web residua - what about you? Thank you.

Mixed flash and evening light, Sony A7S + Takumar 300/4 on the left, Canon 5DSR + 100-400L2 on the right, cross-eyed stereogram.

Despite quite high amount of hits, it is quite difficult to capture Myotis mystacinus while drinking, probably due to parallel midge hunting (midges hatch from the puddle most frequently just after sunset).

Photo 4 contains a lot of natural evening light, most of the photos were taken within first 2 hours after sunset.

Photos 1,2 and 4 were taken using Canon 5D2 + Takumar 300/4 combination, rest using Canon 5DSR + 100-400L2. All photos are "normalized" to same magnification, there are probably some youngsters at the party.

2 shots taken few minutes apart merged to display size and proportional differences between 2 sympatric (here sharing same puddle for drinking) species. Same magnification at 400mm.

There was no other hit many minutes before and after, therefore the lens was foggy and it was really difficult to merge both hazy backgrounds.
Myotis mystacinus is just slightly put to the left compared to RAW file, 1% crop.

Same night (1:13AM-4:22 AM) shooting, at least 2 different specimens, same magnificaton at 400mm focal length, 15 MPix together

Mixed light shot (flash and evening twilight) from the back of this small bat, 30 MPix crop.

Myotis mystacinus with small midge wing stuck in its fur, probably as a memory of some spider web flyover (spider was a prey).

tilted 135mm shot

Myotis myotis again, flying out of FOV but usable for stereogram.

Action bat cross-eyed stereogram again.

Small bat (much smaller compared to previously uploaded M. myotis) and 2 Chironomidae midges 20Mpix

which hit the laser trigger later as wanted, but I like the view, almost no crop!

Cross eyed stereogram made from 2 shots (right already presented, left taken by Canon 5D 2 camera with Takumar 300 mm lens) with almost no retouching to see all necessary details.
