Still playing with the Sigma fp L and 24mm f3.5 combo, this time at Thorp Perrow Arboretum.

Went back to the same pond tonight, and the lighting was much better. PLUS I remembered to bring the 1.4TC, so these are all at 840mm, F11. Low-ish ISO. Processed in Capture One from raw. All 100% crops from S1R.

Final dress rehearsal photos from Separate Tables, the run of which is about to start at the Abbey Theatre in St Albans after the Coronation weekend....tickets selling fast if you're interested! I took the S5 with Sigma 28-70 (these shots) and OM-1 with Lumix 35-100. Both performed well, although the S5 AF was actually a little faster and locked on to faces more reliably in these circumstances.

There's something target magical about the light and colour in these lovely shots

To kick things off, an image of bluebells - quintessentially May (in the northern hemisphere).

Just lovely, and agree that aspect ratio is very effective

Agreed. I absolutely love the last one.

I caught some Yucca blossoms today close to full bloom, with Vasquez Rocks in the background. Plus a 65:24 of the Rocks.

Great photos Charles. I love the rock formations there. Really interesting place!

I love the second and the last shot which really shows the scale of the formations - great!

miserable day, this being some sort of improvement to the sea defence in Mumbles
hopefully just rain water discharge but we all know about the water companies by now
I surf further round the coast and have seen/smelled some pretty foul 'rain water'

What the UK water companies are doing is criminal. It’s time the regulator grew some balls. But what we really need is for the industry to be renationalised.

Here a sequence of timelapses in Vienna made with the Panasonic Lumix S5 and S1R cameras. Unedited, made directly on cameras. Slowly but surely, learning by doing... there is still a lot to improve...

That Sigma 50/2 looks excellent Jayne. Lovely photos.

 

[Pete_W]

This shot was taken in the morning so quite a bit of shadow to deal with. It's a great lookout, although I find that photos of lookouts like this never quite convey the feeling of height that you get when you're standing at the railing.

That's a great shot. And I think I've been to almost the same spot back in 2015. It's a lovely part of the world.

Thanks Paul. It is fun to stand up on this lookout and listen to what is a bit like white noise from the valley and breathe the fresh air. Glad to hear that you've visited!
