stroll

Last month, before my 3 week time off work, I had the chance to go to Wales in a work related trip. Here are some of the pictures from the trip: The most futuristic high voltage line tower I have ever seen, somewhere outside Bristol, shot from the motorway. We passed an Amazon warehouse and...

A little over 10 years ago, I bought my first interchangeable lens camera. Over those 10 years I developed somewhat of an affinity for images of clouds, Moon etc.. Here, I'd like to show a few images that I made during the strolls (not in any chronological order)..

from north to south on the trail these are all cell phone pics, Clover Dell Lake (s), Beaman MO. (n)

we went down to Branson Mo. for my wife's and her friends bday, and I took my bike got 10.5 miles that is like 1 1/2 times through the sixth pic is of Golden Rainbow Trout Dogwood Canyon Nature Park — A 10,000-Acre Ozark Paradise

but here is a few pics in my 212 miles so this year on my bicycle

As everyone knows ice age hammered Finnish soil a lot, last time. We have hidden in woods phenomenal giant kettles. On this slope in southern Finland, there are some twenty kettles biggest being 4m diameter and couple of meters deep. Some pictures from there, but sorry those cliffs on the...

A while ago I was at this model and hobby fair for the first time. It is held in an Aero museum which is located in old military bunkers used for aeroplanes before. Have heard of it but have never been there before, so this year it was time. It was awesome, they had radio-controlled models of...

I went to the Washed Ashore exhibit at the South Coast Botanical Garden this morning. Pretty amazing. A little excerpt from the site: Washed Ashore – Art to Save the Sea Opens at the Garden On April 1 Trash is making a splash in the Garden this spring. Come see beautiful sculptures made of...

I don't know if there is a similar/same thread, but, here's my suggestion; Series of images taken on (approximately) the same place over a period of time (at least few years). I have many of these locations, which I visited/passed by strolling. If this seems like a good idea to anyone - be my...

Even though there are a couple of threads with this very title, none of them shows lost items you spotted; since I've photographed an increasing number of such things, I think it's approriate to finally dedicate a thread to them. M.

In 1966, the City of Saline (pronounces Suh-leen), Michigan entered into a Sister City relationship with the city of Brecon, Wales. Beginning in 1996, as part of the celebration of thirty years as the Sister City of Brecon, Wales, the City of Saline created the Saline Celtic Festival...

Not sure how documentary this really is but my GF's daughter graduated high school yesterday and we had a wee party with a tiny cake.

I planned on a quick stroll around the park next to my building before going for the groceries. Both my socks were drenched not 15 minutes into my walk, so I decided it was best not to explore any further. The wonderful FinePix X100 could have taken much more. Such a beast that handles itself...

I don’t get to shoot architecture much, but knowing where I was headed, I grabbed the EM1 and the 9-18 as my solo lens for the trip. Featured is Union Station in Kansas City, MO (USA), which was the once the big hub when ”by train” was the primary long-distance travel option, apparently the 3rd...

Went down to the park by my house where they have a large ice castle exhibit in the winters. It was a cold night for a stroll, at negative 10 F. I took my Olympus Pen F, as I wanted to put my new 12-45 through the paces. The Pen performance was mixed. It wasn’t deterred at all by the super cold...

First sun today here in England in what seemed like forever, so I decided to get out and take some shots. I hadn't visited Oxford for a while, so I thought "why not?". Lots of opportunities for photos for sure, but despite trying, I find Oxford a hard place to like. Maybe it's the buses and the...

To work off some of the Christmas excess, I took a walk around Stratford upon Avon today (it's a short distance from where I live). The weather was mostly grey, but the sun popped out for a very brief appearance, which you can see in the last of these shots. All with the Pen-F and either the...

I took a little Christmas Eve stroll yesterday to give my body some exercise before the food onslaught! I took my Pen-F and the 12, 17, and 45mm primes. I love this combo. All the lenses are excellent performers and weigh almost nothing. Mounted on the Pen-F, they are a joy to handle. In...

Does anyone use other visual excersizes/challenges to keep their eyes and brain sharp? I have used this sequence thing in a variety of forms - one lens, all Monochrome, all color, all one aspect ratio... Any other workouts you do to "stay sharp"?

This relatively ancient Boeing airplane, built in 1952 and dubbed 'the Flying Ambulance', was used alternately as a troop transport vehicle, a cargo carrier, and a flying hospital, for both wounded soldiers and casualties. I'm fairly ignorant about aviation history but seeing it - like an...

Received a letter from the traffic management dept AND a message from the power company saying there was going to be a scheduled outtage because of works with the power lines or some such in my street. The letter even had a diagram showing where the street was going to be blocked off, with...

In Etna, Ohio - just a short 10 minute drive east of my house. Testing out the PL 12-60/2.8-4 on the EM1.2 Still debating whether or not I should get the O12-40/2.8 or the O12-100/4 to replace it. While I like the field of view I get from the PL 12-60, there is just something about the...

We've just had a very pleasant weekend with our friends in Hornsea on the Yorkshire coast. I took my RX100M4 for a stroll one evening...Some are SOOC, others edited in Lightroom from RAW. The fish & chips was delicious by the way!

I noticed a while ago that many of us hobbyists/amateurs/photographers have similar patterns in how we go about photography. Especially, those of us that started with photography, more seriously, in the last 10 years, as digital cameras became more affordable. I struggled to find a definition of...

One of her Christmas gifts was a set of rollerblades. We have taken a few park trips to try and get more secure and get out of the house. A6400 and 18-135mm Still not perfect, took a few tumbles But she is proud of herself

These were taken at the Lovell Quinta Arboretum in Cheshire. We (wife & I) took the chance to meet our son outdoors before he goes into the Johnson lockdown for Manchester and has to virtually hibernate until all this unpleasantness goes away. I just hope that there is an official Christmas...

My landlord, Graham, who formerly farmed the land following in the footsteps of his father and uncle still maintains the old award winning cider orchard attached to the farm, replanting any windblown or dead trees with new ones of similar old varieties. He's just started labeling them so now I...

As suggested in the watering hole as something to do while exercising during the Covid lockdown, just to make things a bit more interesting. After doing a desk job for a decade i've barely walked more than a few hundred metres a day in that time so i've been using the extra time in the long...

I don't know about you, but I love a good fence. Or gate. Or stile. Any sort of barrier, really, let's be honest. Ideally wooden but it doesn't have to be. Post your photos here!! Here's a couple from this morning to get things rolling

So I've had my A6400 for a couple of weeks now and this was the first time taking it out. With the 18-135mm.

This weekend I realized I haven't shot with my Nikon 1 cameras lately. So I decided to take out the Nikon V1 + 18.5mm 1.8 lens for an evening stroll! Despite owning far more advanced FF DSLR/MILC cameras, there's an immense satisfaction nailing shots with the V1 that I don't get from any other...

Well, I know this that I'm probably not the only one travelling throughout Scotland this summer, but I'll use this thread to show some images - miscellaneous subjects, ordered by date (roughly). The first couple of days were nice enough, if a bit too warm for my liking, but who am I to complain...

Today was hardly different from today. Everything grey and I needed the toning. Strange however what we leave behind, no matter what.

The modern ICE train from Germany passes by at 120 km/h, while the traveler is reminded of an exhibition of the Jewish history. Today was an in-between day. Storm hit the Netherlands the day before and another storm is predicted for the next day. It was a quick stroll today.

In my hometown, a typical commuter place, I consider the local train station to be best place for street photography. Anywhere else people are just to aware of your presence. The station has a very sober architecture and while it is usually a quite busy place, it is also a location that...
