Random Photo thread

Thanks Dave. It’s been fun exploring the multiple ways how light, shadow, and reflection play on the shallow water. Still trying to get a shot(s) that nicely captures an image of the bottom of the brook, the surface, and something reflected on the surface... a three in one of sorts. I haven’t had much chance in the past to explore around shallow stony brooks. Last weeks rain brought the level up a bit, but also cleaned some of the silt from the bottom to show more color.

I’m enjoying your ship shots, and I never tire of the lighthouse and pier photography.

Try messing with a polarising filter.

Judge says I am responsible.

Well, Good.
So,,,,, Next time my wife suggest I am not. . . . . . I can say I have a certificate that says I AM responsible, from a judge.
(well, court magistrate, actually)


Lets not discuss the ticket here. (was not on bike, was in car, late night, no traffic, prohibited UTurn)

I like the picture, and that I can say that I have a judgment from a judge that I am "Responsible", despite other folks thought that maybe I am not.

Been 10 days since posted a pier-sunset pic.
In those 10 days, now sun is setting on "other" side of the pier.
Was heavy cloudy cover all day, and this evening, but was a small area at just the right area of the horizon with thin enough clouds to let sunset light thru and light up the other clouds for just a few minutes.

THis from way back, across the road, with my longest lens (600mm equivalent, this shot at about 400).
Was in front of a big condo building (all the units appeared to be unoccupied), climbed up on a big transformer so could have elevation to look over above the traffic on the road and other obstacles in the area.
36 degreesF and windy, and my gloves blew away while I was setting up the tripod. Got tripod and camera setup, and the wifi app on phone in operation, then climbed down and hid from wind behind the transformer, and operated camera from the app.. . .

And... from that location, I saw two cars make the same prohibited UTurn I got nabbed for, and they were doing it in between traffic and having to make it a 3 point turn.

Got out for a nice fall single track ride today.

Close encounter. Was about 15' away. Used the zoom just not perfect in the focus and i have used the sharpen to enhance, (not a lot better), to make it a little better. Colours are natural.

Austin Healey 100 1954 - I bought it in 1975. In those days old Healeys were easy to find. This was my second one, the first was a 1960 3000.
Decided to take it apart to do some rust repair, etc. 20 years and a couple divorces later, I still had it. In pieces.
Sold it, still in pieces, in 2002. Although I still got 10 times what I paid for it, it would have been a whole more together.
These days a nice one can go for six figures. One of my larger regrets.

The 100:


The 3000

That 3000 is a slick looking ride. The spokes and knockoffs are class.
