Yet another image of a heron. But I like herons.

I found a remote trigger that also allows burst firing (Hähnel Captur), so put the R5 in a cage, and hung it at the bottom of a monopod for street-level captures of dogs. Click for full images.
There were some quite cool kids too.

On reflection, it appears that I am obsessed with groynes. Also, that I am a big fan of symmetrical portrait formats.

A long weekend in Norfolk, despite the weather. Minns’ book tucked under my eager little arm… Click to embiggen.
Key-lines
Frankly, just working out how to add a key-line to an image…
Flash. Ah-aaah.
Yes. I bought Nik. And am lumbering around in it.
Pep Ventosa, but table-top and therefore not
Experimenting with subject rotation and blend modes. And Nik.
I do NOT know how to do this...
Distilled water on rain-x’ed glass
I CAN’T GET TO GRIPS WITH THIS!
This one is oil in water, but I’ve been tried too with (distilled) water droplets on glass. Whatever I’m using I cannot figure out how to get the drop AND the image in the drop in focus. People seem to manage this by mistake when taking pictures through rainy windows, but I can’t decode what that means for doing it intentionally. This image is focus-stacked and it still doesn’t do what I’m after…
Walala Jazz
Monochrome Print - 19 Oct
Judge: David Steele
I was a little miffed because David held back (I think) ten, but decided to award 1st place 20, 2nd place 19, and 3rd place 18, so 17’s for the rest. It would have been nice to have a little separation amongst the held-back-but-didn’t-place images. (Final Race was held back. Hence ire.)

Serial Print 2023-2024 Round 1
My first entry into a Cambridge Camera Club competition… This is a “Serial” competition which runs across the year in a series of rounds. You submit one colour and one mono print each round and the ultimate rankings are based upon total points.
Judge: Nick Akers.
16 for Final Race and 17 for Local Maximum. Pretty happy with that given the stunning quality of the submissions!
Happenstance
Interesting. I don’t know why this is doing what it is doing. It’s a trial of eleven stacked exposures while I sign something. Full colour but cold white light on a black t-shirt with a black background. There’s a small amount of blue and green in the shirt, but I don’t think that accounts for the interesting colour blooming on the composited image. It’s not working as a strategy for capturing the 3D shape the sign makes in space, which was the motivation for this, but it’s something to bear in mind and experiment with more in future….
It seems to be movement. A composite of images of me sitting still didn’t do it.
Hmm.
