Yus, and I've been told that saying that is the most American thing to say :P

Found this little fellow on my evening walk of Little Legs. I'm not sure what they are, but it was one of the most photogenic setups I've encountered in a long time. They did not move at all (though I admit that I was about 75 meters away) so I had quite a few opportunities to mix up the...

Someone must have had serious OCD on the creases in the sand.

Ahm ...

Having a very late walk, it was very very dark. Because of the very high ISO I had to turn to B&W which I'm quite happy with (for online sharing, not printing). I don't know I have an obsessive desire to get a good image of Little Legs under a street lamp in the evening/night. The problem is...

I think this picture qualifies for the Golden Hour, Churches, and Place of Worship topics but I'm too lazy to post so much :P

The last flight of the day, just gulls. Flyby.

Fog season is starting early this year: Because of the heat wave, the ground is scorched and with the sudden drop of 12 C today the ground is going to be fogging a lot for the next few days: These images were made 2 hours ago while walking my Little Legs: I do hope the farmer can find his...

I think it's because they are divers, they need to be very aerodynamic (waterdynamic?!?) To get in as fast as possible and get out as quick as possibly. The birds with larger feet are aquatic birds because they use their feet to propell themselves in the water and underwater. Also Kingfisher...

Just a morning Robin looking at me like: WHERE'S MY DAMN COFFEE !?!

Converted to B&W in Lightroom (yus, I am a criminal, send me to jail for breaking the law :P ) and added a bit of vignetting and grain. I am pretty happy with the balance of grain and sharpness. But I am not very happy with Sony FE 50mm f 1.8 because it's not particularly sharp wider than f...

Morning kittey

Hold my beer. Someone's knocking at my wall and I don't know why?

That's so gorgeous. It's a picture that would definitely live on my walls as a large print. Thanks for taking my suggestion into consideration. PS. Every time I look at it the first thing that pops into my mind is this: (I know this is pure semantics but the composition feels a lot like the...

I love it,the bendy stem on top makes it feel very elegant. Do you think if you could crop the leaf on the bottom left out of the picture it would make the composition stronger and simpler?

Lightroom doesn't edit sRGB colour space, it only displays the preview in that colour space. The RAW is always in wide gamut, when you change the format, to a compressed one, it's when you limit the colour space to one choice as the compression throws away the extra data of other colour space...

The ARW get converted to DNG when I import the images in Lightroom (by choice. I don't want to deal with .XMP files). I use the sRGB colour space because I don't have a colour calibrator that can handle OLED screen properly. And AdobeRGB is far from being universal though it's a bit bette now...

I haven't done any astrophotography in years. Took my little fluffer last night for a walk (since it's a full moon) out to the fields and picked a few nice spots. There's not much stars in the pictures because of the moon but it did give me an advantage for foreground illumination: Good night...

The Dragonball Zzzzzzzzzzz.

Starling doing a 180° turn to catch a fly it spotted. The image is a 5 MegaPickle Ricks crop from 42 because it turned so quickly my Sony a7R II got only 2 frames of the turn and the 2nd one was right within 15% of the edge of the frame. A gull flying parallel to the sunset. Starling...

Dude, where did I parked my tractor last night?

Harvest time soon.

And the world is still left kind The secluded shop.

Is that your dog? I'm offended :P

A day out to the basins. My little barking mad fluffer.

It's a quaking day ... ... Or a cracking day. Our local swan family had a other set of babies this year. 4 young ones plus the 5 from last year. We might end up having our own swannery at this rate. I don't know how old the swan parents are. What if I hide under here, you can't see me...

Not even Olaf can handle this heatwave.

Or maybe that's a tiny foot next to a Direwolf

I have tried Pre-Focus but the 5 FPS gives me very low chance of getting the shot because there's to much gap between the shots. And because she's so tiny she is extremely fast and when she's outside it's like The Flash's little pet. I know Sony AF can be a lot better but it's quite old now on...

I might not even crop and just print large because I love the wideness of the angle with lots of nice context but out of focus so it's not distracting to much. Thank you,I've been trying to get the for 2 months now. I am struggling the most with C-AF not keeping up and the 5 FPS is to low to...

Started playing with the macro-ish capabilities of the Tamron 28-75mm f 2.8 Di III VXD G2. (It's not as good as the Olympus 12-40mm f 2.8 Pro but still better than average) I do love the colours and the rendition of the lens. I have noticed I am struggling to find the composition I want in...

One of the most English thing I have seen in some time: 2 Magpies Trainspotting on the train tracks.

"PLAY WITH ME" (It's actually a blurry picture while she was yawning but I kept it because it's still cute for interpretation) "I am serious now ... you ... play ... with ... me" Took me hundreds of tries, hours of whistling and calling her to run towards me but I finally got the summer...

I shoot mostly wide open, weather it's action or portrait, mostly for the DoF because it's one of the reasons I wanted to go 35mm FF, the keep my shutter speed as high as I can (I am learning that this format size is a lot more punishing when the shutter speed is not high enough but it could...

Hello, I got an email from my camera club that someone is selling their Epson Stylus Pro 3880 for 200 £ in excellent condition with a little usage. While I haven't had a lot of success with printing my pictures myself in the past I am willing to give it another try as I always wanted to do Ultra...

Hello, as I gather experience from my time with my Sony a7R II, I am slowly learning its quirks and limitations. At first, I was very impressed with the AF performance of the camera but as I use it in more varied situations and with different lenses the experience is getting more "colourful". I...

It's quite strange, when she's outside she ignores everything, food, treats, her squeaky balls. The only things she wants is walking and jumping on me. (Nice, I kind of forgot how the little Pany Panky 20mm renders, very lovely).

My little girl never stands still for me for a pictures and every time I try to get down to her level so runs at me and jumps and crawls all the way to he top of my head. I am curious what lens did you use because it doesn't show and I do love the quality of the background bokeh.

"Turning back time to simpler times"

How can I leave those eyes at home for work ... damn you money, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL !!!

My recent pictures when commuting to and from work: "Drying off" "On sale" "Keep it to the right please" "The special path" "They hide" "Women's UEFA Championship fan?" "I hope that's not underwear" "Asking for a close-up"

I know it sounds like a strange question for some of you, mostly the film generation. But I have been wondering this more often lately. How important or useful is a tripod for stationary subjects, be it landscape, buildings or nature in general. I always had a dislike for tripods because I...

With the heat we are having in the UK this summer it will be a booming season for butterflies. And plenty of weeds to feed from.

I never noticed how close some of these Seagulls fly with each other. Though it was nice to see them fly in delta formation. I need to look for some more Buzzards around my area. Still learning the AF of the Sony a7R II ... which gets easily confused by dark and/or busy backgrounds. Very...

I got the ball papa. Is it just me or is it hot? Nap time.

Damn it ... they are getting smarter. My little Yorky Russel is trying really heart to figure it out when I try to spell it out, I can hear her little cogs working hard :P

Not my favourite subject to shoot but I couldn't miss such an opportunity even with a Seagull. I kept waiting for the Seagull to fly off the pole ... and instead, I got lucky with one flying into the sun. At 5 frames per second, I didn't get all that many shots so I made the best of it in...

Strangest little thing I saw when going home from work on Saturday evening. That's one rough little birdie I told myself. And so it piqued my curiosity to load up the big bouy zoom and after a few minutes, I realised the poor little one was hopping on one leg. It must have been a really bad...

The morning walkie (please never say that word to my dog unless you want to suffer the consequences of having to go out :P ). Play time is over. The aftermath. To quote Spoke: Fascinating! (Why? I do not know :P )
