Your R System Images - December 2023

[PKM-UK]

Went on a chilly hike in the woods today. Spent about an hour and a half looking for anything to shoot, but nothing, just very quiet (also quite nice). Then suddenly a Eurasian goshawk swoops down in front of me and nails either a thrush or bulbul...hard to tell. Had the shutter speed set low (low light under the trees), so the action is blurred, but a little excitement for the hike.View attachment 23328View attachment 23329

Hi David,

Wow, right time - right place (unless you were the hapless thrush or bulbul ).

You did very well to capture the episode - thank you for sharing...

Thank you. Yes, lucky with that one. Now if I can find the nest, that would be very fortunate (only a few thousand trees to inspect).

Hi funjp,

A single reply to your 3 posts if we may - scintillating and stunning colours from Kyoto, an eclectic composition that grabs the viewer's attention and series of really well composed and controlled potraits from Tokyo. A diverse mix with terrific captures showcasing your photographic and processing talents. Thought provoking and inspirational.

Thank you for sharing...

Thanks Phil and Karen . Incredible how you can picture those Medieval places . Here in Japan is quite difficult to find anything original more than 200 years old . I still want to drive from Aberdeen to the Scottish countryside . Preferably in Summer , which is already cold in Scotland . Keep posting photos from your travels in the UK !

Hi Steve,

Fantastic! Excellent captures in tricky conditions - a lot of joy being shared (and those festive beverages and snacks look extremely appealing!)...

Hi Art,

A series of absolutely stunning shots (the individual poses/ compositions, subject isolation, colours and detail are all top drawer).

Every image is an inspirational treasure - drawing the viewer in and captivating them with their wonders and delights. Fantastic!

Hi Peter,

A single reply for your two posts if we may?

All four shots are wonderful (technically and visually), but the set of three in your second post are absolutely stunning - so beautiful and completely enthralling.

Inspirational work - well done indeed and thank you for sharing...
