Hi Steve,

Absolutely magnificent. What a fine way to showcase your new tech.

Hi David,

Well, there's no doubt who the star of the show is - what a little cutie...

Hanging around waiting for a delivery, so ended up doing some doodling...

Hi David,

A fantastic capture - and good grief (in equal measure!)...

I am more drawn to the abstraction to the right and below the young surfer. The colors and texture are quite interesting.

A walk on the dunes. A typhoon had finally passed through about an hour prior.

Hi David,

That looks like the weather we typically get on our holidays...

(We hope everyone was able to stay safe and well).

Thanks...we were fine. Coinciding with the busiest travel period in Japan, it created a bit of chaos for travelers, though. Luckily, we stayed put.

Still finding my way with the R7. These images were taken recently. Cheers!

Hi David,

Now, we do like a bit of mist. Very nice...

As we wait to set off on our next (short) adventure in 'Frank' (our camper van) later today - the storm clouds are already gathering at our destination - a couple of shots from yesterday morning here in Hartshill, Warwickshire, England.

(Shot raw and processed using: Adobe Lightroom Classic/ Photoshop with TK-9 Panels, DxO Nik Collection and Topaz Labs Studio 2).

A Crocosmia branch from our backyard. Full disclosure: This stem was in front of the fence which I have replaced with this background from my collection.

Found this little Japanese house bat on our doorstep. I used focus bracketing (30 shots; focus increment set to 1) to capture the shot. The positioning was awkward and I didn't want to disturb it, so I hung the camera upside down on my tripod to get it into position

. Used DxO to rotate and crop the image.

I think the recent typhoon might have been a factor in this bat's poor condition. I had seen many getting blown about quite violently in the strong wind the evening before the typhoon hit. I checked this morning and, unfortunately, it died a few meters away. Might take another photo soon.

Much appreciated. I still find the R7 less friendly than all my DSLR's though.

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 -

Haven't been out and about with camera much this month ( Aug = Feb up North), but this fellow did spend a long time watching me prune roses...

(Piwakawaka or fantail, Rhipidura fulginosa)

These were CARS, they now build cars! We are planning to go to Cruise Nights this Tuesday in Warwick. We visited that several times and found it enjoyable. That one is just displaying the cars. I have a few posts on my site about those visits.
