Photography again

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Apols for the low quality upload but I caught a great moment at sunrise down the canal last week, golden sun, purple clouds and the yellowing leaves glinting.

Ended up sticking with a DSLR on the end and buying a used D850, with the Z7's release the markets been flooded with used copies ad tech heads sell them off and the price shifted from about £3000 a couple of months ago to £2200. Might put the savings into a more serious wildlife lens I spose and try to focus a bit more on that era.

Nah, I've no idea either.

Something oddly beautiful about this picture. Thanks for posting.

Veryy nice composition with the two trees either side of the goal and a sense of movement/texture in the grass.

this is top stuff. the light and detail on the grass... blimey.

   there's an old tennis court not far from me. just the posts and layout remain and plants have been growing up through the concrete(?). I might see if I can get a picture. We could start a Lost Sports Project... or not.

a lost sports project is a great idea I will see what I can do

not so much of a lost sports field as an unloved one, but my dog enjoyed the sticks that were lying around

Having to shoot through a chain link fence and other excuses.





Anyone for tennis?

This is an old one:


It's an experiment in pinhole photography. I drilled a hole in the screw cap for a DSLR body, put tape over the hole, and stuck a pin through the tap.. a-and used the cap instead of a lens. I'm thinking I should try a few shots outside. What's the worse that could happen right?

We have a photography competition at work. The last subject was 'Texture'. I got completely fascinated with tree bark.

I entered this because it looked like a parrot.




Although really I preferred this.

This time we're doing Night photography. I am still trying to make up my mind if any of these will do.

Photo number 3 is my favourite. I like the way the angle of the car park roof draws the eye down.

All great photos, keep it up.

[Endicott]

Very kind, thank you. Yes, the car park one does something for me too.

The smeared car lights one is a bit of a cliche but I like that one too. It will be one of those two I use.

Looking to take wildlife/dog shooting a bit more serious I bought this midlife crisis of a lens, not too bad at £600 for an older mode AF-S 300mm F/2.8, just needed to clean off John Terry's gob from the front element before use...
