Wonderful detail with all the birds. And my wife asked me if the robins looked familiar...

We took a couple of day trips to Cape Cod after the summer crush ended. I primarily shot landscapes with my IR-modified 7D that I can't post here, but got some nice RF photos too.
I got several photos of this double-crested cormorant swimming near Woods Hole.
I got some nice warmly lit photos of ring-billed gulls at Old Silver Beach in North Falmouth, a place that my family spent a lot of time at when we were kids.
Some nice sunset light on the beach
I was very lucky to be able to photograph this great blue heron who caught a large frog. The bird spent a lot of time trying to maneuver the frog into position to eat it.
The next weekend I photographed Nobska Lighthouse and beach in Falmouth and was lucky enough to get the moon rising over the lighthouse. I took this sunset light photo later after the moon rose more but the IR camera visualized the moon rising directly behind the lighthouse (with a much more bright sky) much better than visible photography.

I finally went out to photograph the Atlas Comet and got the Milky Way in the same frame as a bonus. Big Meadows on Skyline Drive in Virginia.

Hi Gareth,
Giant Attack Pigeons? - Well, you certainly get some strange creatures in your part of the world...
(Joking aside, we certainly wouldn't want to argue with this particular one!).
Great to see you survived the encounter - and thank you for sharing...

Hi Don,
A superb set of images showcasing nature's beauty (and your talents!) - a treasure of interest gathered here, with absolutely glorious colours throughout.
It's impossible to single out a favourite (but if really pushed, we'd have the final two tied).
Well done indeed - and thank you for sharing...

Visit to the Watercress Heritage line Autumn Steam Gala at the beginning of the month. I've had the R5 Mk2 subject tracking set
on Auto and found it finds and sticks very well whether trains, planes and birds. Also have it set up for dual back button focus.

Yesterday I was prevailed upon by She Who Must Be Obeyed to photograph - on a semi-official basis - a charity golf day in aid of a trust she chairs. She kept telling me not to photograph the birds, but the course was laid out around big lakes, and there were lots of them.
Ma, he's making eyes at me...
We were also blessed by a lack of wind, despite the presence of a Nor'West arch, the wave cloud that usually signals hot windy weather. Nice skies though...
You can't pin that one on me. (Clearwater Golf Club, Christchurch NZ)

Flying under the radar…
Canon R5m2 | RF 200–800
800 mm | ƒ/9 | 1/4000s | ISO 5000
30 frames/second | raw | ±33 metres

27°S; 153°E : Click & zoom map for exact location.
The dark streaks are exposed seagrass, cropped short by dugongs (similar to manatees). It was in this tidal pond that a Pied Oystercatcher had found an Elegant Sea Snake about forty minutes before this photo was taken(post #86 on previous page of this thread).

Hi MIke,
Terrific action shots - perfect mix of sharp detail and motion/ background blur. Plenty here to get the adrenaline flowing!
I've only been to 'The Knock' once - a long time ago now - for the 2-wheeled variation (it's a long way on a Ducati...
).Thank you for sharing...

Hi Don,
Cheers - very much appreciated!
(When I was looking for images to have a crack at that shot from Karen really caught my eye).

We’re back! A very pleasant autumn visit to Portmeirion (Penrhyndeudraeth, Gwynedd, North Wales), with the forecast 45mm of rain (mostly) missing us. For a change, I (Phil) spent the entire weekend using my R5’s Monochrome profile (albeit, shooting raw I captured everything). Some images to follow (in a bit!).
In the meantime, for our final post of this month, images from a recent visit to Chester Zoo, Cheshire, England.
(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PL Elite, Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper Panels and Topaz Labs Photo AI. Compilations are: R7 - Karen and R5 - Phil).
Phil and Karen
1. A warm welcome from the Rhino-saurus * family… (* Our unofficial name for this charming creature!).
2. We can see you…
3. H-e-l-l-o…
4. What?
5. Hold it right there…
6. Here’s - Napo!…
