I snapped this little dipper looking for its breakfast down at our local river this morning.

Hi Tim,

What a little cutie! Well seen and caught - excellent fine feather detail and that all important eye catch-light. (And a great drip!).

Thank you for sharing... :)

The composition has more than a hint of 'miniature effect' - was this a processing decision, or the result of the settings?

A pair of immature bald eagles at play/practice. I just with there was more to the composition than blue skies, but that were they were.

Cheers P&K :) Other than a little shadow recovery in LR there was no other processing done. I think it was just the low angle combined with 500mm, they were only around 5 meters away from me as well. The flippy screen of the R5 definitely made the low angle a lot more comfortable.
 
Just back from a short road trip round parts of the neighbourhood...

Tussock and tops from the Danseys Pass road (only a preliminary edit, this one).

A good time was had by all.

Hi Dean,

Well seen and caught! Two masters of the air - incredible how they stay aloft!

As for the backdrop, if only we'd known we could have offered to swap your pleasant blue sky for some moody grim clouds - of which we have a surplus...

:LOL:

HI Gareth,

A fascinating set of images, with plenty of interest for the viewer. However, the first shot is an absolute stunner...

(That's quite a neighbourhood you've got there!).

I recently saw a photography that some people loved of an African Elephant on the savannah during the sunset casting a harsh shadow 45° to the horizon.

Hi Dean,

We‘ve got some images of African sunsets that would do a very nice job.

(Sadly, they’re from our Sony RX10IV’s - so not suitable for posting here).

Hi Don,

A terrific set of images showcasing nature at its finest. Terrific detail in evidence throughout, but the final image is our favourite (what a little cutie!).

Thank you for sharing... :)

Hi David,

A simple, but enticing, composition that draws the viewer in (and makes them want to reach out and take a refreshing sip) - cheers! :)

P&K
Thanks. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how one looks at it), I was enticed to take too many sips that night. Thank Canon for great IBIS.
 
The final fall color photos for the year and some birds I picked up along the way.

A silhouetted pine tree in front of Beaver Pond in New Hampshire.
View attachment 21594

Route 114 near Beaver Pond is a colorful drive
View attachment 21595

The Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire also provides a nice, colorful drive. In this photo I was able to frame the setting moon over the road
View attachment 21596

Mount Willard and Mount Jackson provide a striking background for Willey Pond in Crawford Notch State Park in New Hampshire
View attachment 21597

I took this photo of Beaver Brook Falls in Colebrook, New Hampshire at dusk with a 20 sec exposure, which gave smooth water but still captured some nice color
View attachment 21598

A couple more long exposure waterfall photos: Upper Screw Auger Falls in Grafton, Maine and the Lower Huntington Cascade in Dixville, New Hampshire

A common loon on First Connecticut Lake in Pittsburg, New Hampshire. This is a very cropped shot that I was able to get with the loon fairly far out on the water. I was not expecting loons (it is a busy picnic area and a very large lake) but initially this bird surfaced 20 feet in from of me as I just got there. I wasn't ready with my R7 and RF100-400 lens :mad: so I had to settle for a longer range photo once it dove and resurfaced

A turkey vulture soaring over the Massachusetts Audubon Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary
View attachment 21601

I captured this black-capped chickadee in our backyard, finally past the esthetically difficult molting period where every day is a bad hair day
View attachment 21603

Finally a blue jay portrait taken using the R7 and RF800 mm lens at an effective 1280 mm. I'm still amazed how well this combination works
View attachment 21604
Fantastic colors and sharpness! I have an EF 24-105L and hope I can get shots as beautiful as these with it on my R7 next fall. I’m also impressed with your birds with the RF 800 f/11. I wondered if this lens could get sharp shots, and you have certainly proven that It can.
 
Taken with my R6 Mk2. Our first lake effect snow storm of the year. I thought the cars driving by as the kids played outside were cool subjects.
