Your R System Images - June 2024

[PKM-UK]

We've been hearing young tawny owls on our early morning strolls in our local woods (Hartshill Country Park, Warwickshire, England) this week, so we took the big lenses out yesterday morning. Karen spotted them in the tree canopy (very) high above us - and, of course, they had spotted us...

(Shot raw by Karen and processed by Phil using: DxO PL Elite, Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper TK-9 Panels and Topaz Labs Photo AI).

Hi Only RF,

Cheers, we got lucky with the conditions - but Karen nailed the shot (and it was an absolute joy to process).

Phil and Karen…

There is really only one response to that: get out tonight and take a look for yourselves.

My photo was taken at 5:21 pm: pitch black down here at this time of the year! The internet tables concerning themselves with the affairs of the sun, the moon and the tides assure us that the moon is now around 80% full — waxing gibbous, rather than rugby ballish, is the correct description. Live and learn.

Northern Hemisphere contributors, your task is to take a look early this evening and, more importantly, take a photo or two. I think that, apart from the moon's being a wee bit rounder because it has had more time to wax gibbously, it will be oriented differently because Brisbane is 27ºS and London is 51ºN.

Please, someone go shoot the moon (with the camera horizontal—green line in viewfinder) so that we can compare. I suspect that the moon will be rotated (apparently) so that the part in shadow is 'facing' the left edge of your photo rather than the bottom right corner.

Hi David,

With tonight's weather forecast for our neck of the woods featuring thunder storms and moderate rain (looking out of the window right now, we may not have to wait that long), the possibility of success is not particularly high. We're up at Chester this weekend and the campsite there may offer clearer skies (the forecast for our trip merely being for 'periods of sunshine and showers'), though as we're 'on a leisure break' things have a tendency to go quite badly weather-wise.

Having said that, anyone not at Chester could be in luck...

Lunch out yesterday with my wife, she had the fried shrimp platter, I had calamari and a couple of shrimp tacos. I wouldn't normally use my R7 for food photography but it was in the car with us.
