Your R System Images - October 2023

[PKM-UK]

We hope you have fun making wonderful images this month!

Stay safe and well…

——

Any R System images (stills or movies) can be posted. If you would like to say something about them in terms of the subject, settings, or post-processing, that will be very welcome.

Remember, you don't have to only post things you took this month - sometimes people don't get around to processing/ editing images straight after shooting them. (Think of it more as an ‘images I’d like to post here this month’ thing).

Images posted here will also be available to view in a dedicated Monthly R System Images Galley, which can be found by clicking Here.

Commenting on other people’s posts is encouraged, as it keeps everyone interested and coming back. (Please aim to be considerate, thoughtful and constructive).

We’ll aim to provide some feedback too - but please note we are away for part of each month and busy with ‘life stuff’. The lack of a comment from us is not a sign of disfavour!

Finally, please post in accordance with the RF Shooters Community Guidelines.

Thank you!

Ooh I enjoy the haziness of the last one, it really enhances the sense of depth. Well done - I don't usually work with B&W, but it's something I'd like to improve at.

Hi Paul,

Cheers - appreciated!

This morning was pretty hazy - well, to begin with (and then it rained!) - some would say the haze blighted the view, but there's always a positive...

We liked the wall/ leading lines - and they immediately cried 'B&W' to me. I can't remember the exact workflow, but DxO Nik Collection featured heavily.

P&K

Yesterday was a Canterbury Nor'Wester day - a day of howling gales, of hot, dry, dusty wind making your eyes gritty and hydration important. So we took our grandson to the local zoo. In one of the aviaries, a kea - Nestor notabilis, the world's most intelligent parrot - was dealing with the situation in his/her own inimitable fashion...
