Week 30. A female great spotted woodpecker in the garden being photobombed by some sheep! Fortunately we have a pair so are hoping to see some little ones soon too. They are quite flighty birds though.

I always find these steel wool images to be so captivating and a little daunting! Very cool image, I like how it's almost bounded by a box.

Thanks Hali, a subway or culvert gives the best effect imo, not too good for the victim in the middle though lol

Week 21
Gave into my POMT syndrome (Princess of Many Things) and got the RF 14-35 f/4 for an upcoming trip. To my utter surprise and delight, it has absolutely no hot spots when mounted on my full spectrum IR camera and used with the 720nm filter. This is one of my series called "My Neighbor's Sheds"

What a pretty bird! I love the framing of it with the soft green really focusing me up and into the bird!

Thanks Hali, it’s very hit and miss, but good fun. Here’s a favourite shot from today. I quite like the bikes in the background and the colour palette.
