Your R System Images - August 2023

[PKM-UK]

Just got off the phone with my ISP. They run a calendar photo contest every year. For 2023 I got the month of January. For 2024 I got the notice yesterday that the deadline was last week. A little 'squeaky wheel gets the grease' and now the deadline is end of month.
I sent in these 4. We'll see what happens -

Hi David,

A real dazzler - and the recipient of a considerable amount of love, care and attention by the look of it.

(We suspect it sounds rather pleasant!).

Before we go, we really ought to mention - nice capture too...

A couple of shots from our weekend trip - we were out on a gravel/ road cycle ride and kept saying 'this feels like an old airstrip', when we came across...

(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PhotoLab Elite/ Viewpoint and Adobe Lightroom Classic/ Photoshop).

Fantastic capture! Humming birds are so difficult to photograph - at least they are for me. Well done.

Great shot! In two weeks, I'll be back in the States and will get a chance at hummingbirds...can't wait.
