Cape St. Vincent, Portugal. It was overcast but I took a few anyway. We go there at least once a year.

Hi Only RF,

A beautifully balanced composition, with a wealth of interest to encourage the viewer to pause a while and linger. The B&W treatment is spot on.

Thank you for sharing... :)

Haven't had much opportunity to get out with t'camera over recent weeks, but I couldn't ignore the fantails flitting round me while I was fiddling with irrigation pipes down by our river. The friendliest was a (relatively) rare melanistic individual:

New Zealand fantail or Pīwakawaka - Rhipidura fuliginosa

The black form is only about 5% of the population, but we have a big local population...

ISOs were creeping up because it was late afternoon, and getting them to pose in full sun was a bit tricky. The last two were given the benefit of a denoise in LRC, and all were given a smart subject pop. Otherwise just a very quick auto settings, punch and switch into camera landscape colour.

Hi Gareth,

A fascinating series of images showcasing this beautiful creature (and your talents!) - well seen, caught and very nicely processed.

Terrific fine feather detail evident through out and that all important eye pop/ catch-light. (Image #3 is our favourite - what a cutie!).

Well done - and thank you for sharing... :)

Hi Art,

Two quite different, but equally engrossing, images - #1 being a pleasing composition which encourages the viewer to pause and admire the glorious scene and #2 being an absolutely spot-on capture of a truly magnificent creature, beautifully posed and perfectly presented.

Inspirational work - thank you for sharing... :)

P&K
 
Hi Ed,

Very well seen and nicely captured - an intriguing composition which would leave many guessing as to what it actually is they're looking at.

We're partial to the occasional close-in flora shot - either as a standalone image, or as a background.

This is a particularly intriguing example - a multitude of textures and pastel shades in a single image.

Bark as art indeed - thank you for sharing... :)

Thanks, Phil! Appreciated!

There are many interesting patterns and textures that we see in daily life and IMO some are worth photographing.

As we near the end of our replacement kitchen final fix week, there's a pleasant bottle of white wine in the fridge - are you thinking what we're thinking...

Breeding Plumage…

Bar-tailed Godwit in Breeding Plumage : Moreton Bay, QLD, AU

  • 700.0 mm
  • ƒ/10

Bar-tailed Godwit : Limosa lapponica

A muddy-footed male Bar-tailed Godwit in fancy dress is clearly a bird ready to leave Queensland shores and head for the far north of the Pacific Ocean: breeding time approaches!

Somehow, I botched this shoot: the first time I've taken photos in JPEG on the R5. I've no idea how the setting was changed.

Bar-tailed Godwit : Limosa lapponica

A female Bar-tailed Godwit takes flight.

In my opinion there are far too few photos of this species that explain how it gains its common name! Most of all, I like seeing the wonderful structure and shape of godwits' wings.

  • electronic shutter
  • ~20 frames/second
  • manual aperture & speed; auto ISO

Blue Tit portrait, late afternoon sunshine hit our lounge window and threw reflected light back into the bird.
Almost like I have used flash, having the ability to move the perches around helps.

Wonderful set of shots, Folks. The first photo is a manicurist's deepest nightmare, love the details and colors of the frogs, and our younger daughter (who loves the color orange and tigers) appreciated the last photo, where you captured their gazes perfectly. Although I think they are gazing at their next potential meal...

Hi David,

A fabulous image of a beautiful looking creature - the perfect pose, with great feather detail and touches of catch-light!

(The R5's jpeg engine was well up to the task and has done you proud here).

Thank you for sharing... :)
