Mum, being splendid.

The Paradise ducks in the Botanic Gardens are relatively tame - or at least prepared to tolerate humans - but out in the wild they are very wary, and very loud. This makes them unpopular with hunters, because they will set up a loud hooting at the slightest sign of a human, putting everything in the area on to high alert.

Meanwhile, in the Ilex Café...

Will someone show me how to use this thing?

Chaffinch - Pahirini, Fringilla coelebs

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

Wonderful photo of Sunwapta Falls. And we always loved Mistaya Canyon too, but since we have not been back since film days, it was difficult to capture canyons with film dynamic range

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.

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.

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...

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.

*** Your R System Images - October 2024 *** Thread Closed…

A wonderful collection of inspirational R System images this month - posted by people all around the world and viewed by people all around the world - we’ve certainly enjoyed seeing each and every one. A HUGE ‘thank you’ to all of the contributors and commentators - your talents and time are much appreciated!!

You can continue to post any comments here, but the November thread is now open for any new images (including any additional October material).
