Your R System Images - June 2023

[PKM-UK]

Haven’t gotten home yet. Used the in camera raw processing on the following. The first is Desert View Watchtower at Grand Canyon National Park with a well timed (but fast moving) Raven in frame. The second is Horseshoe Bend. As I’m typically limited to travel during family vacation time, I could not be there during sunset, which many try for. But we were blessed with light in the Canyon and distant rain showers creating an amazing scene. Looking forward to getting home and playing with the light and shadows to do the scene justice.

Another view point along the rim trail. Experimenting with the in camera raw processing again.

Hi Stephen,

Looks to us like you're having a lot of fun, both with your trip and experimenting with the tech. Three very eye-catching images of stunning places set amid a devastatingly expansive landscape.

(Very interesting in-camera processing too, but we imagine you're aching to get these into your normal processing software).

Thank you for sharing - very inspirational...

Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, AZ. Focus was intentional on the foreground flower. An f/2.8 would have been nice here, but the 24-240 is so great for travel.

Hi Stephen,

A clever piece of composition which has the viewer double-taking, scanning, then finding the subject and finally re-evaluating the entire scene to produce an 'ahhh...' moment. (Well, that's how it struck us!). Nice...

That's a cracking shot of the dragonfly. I've spent many happy - and frustrating - hours by our garden pond struggling to get a shot that good. I have found that if you're patient and watchful, some of them will fly repeated patterns with pauses in the same spots, so you can line things up. Doesn't always work, and not all species will do it all the time, but it does help. If I'm honest (and don't tell SWMBO) it's one of the main reasons I traded in the RF 600 f11 against the RF100-500, to get the closer focussing.

Here's one from last summer (Procordulia grayi - yellow-spotted dragonfly - NZ native):

Rented a lens and had some fun last weekend - now to check behind the sofa to see if there's enough hidden change to buy one for myself!

Hi Cernal,

Fantastic! A truly wonderful piece of art, but an equally wonderful capture. Love the street name too (is there a 'B' Street?). Thank you for sharing...

Hi Elaine,

A terrific set of shots of beautiful creatures - you've done very well to jump straight in with a rental lens and return with these fine captures. A very difficult choice, but number 4 just takes it as our favourite.

(Good luck with your hunt behind the sofa - we love the RF 100-500! ).

A couple of shots from this morning's early wood walk in Hartshill Country Park, Warwickshire, England. Following another torrential rain storm last night (to put it mildly), some pleasing angel beams were manifesting...

(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PhotoLab Elite, Adobe Lightroom Classic/ Photoshop and Topaz Studio 2).
