How your camera coped with the shadow on that overhang is amazing.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

Absolutely. Someone clever once explained to me what a complicated job one's eyes and brain do when interpreting what we think we are seeing, and it's sometimes really hard to get that in a photo. A simple camera that can do that reasonably well is all I want. And for £200, this Sony is the dog's wotsits, I think.pinno said:How your camera coped with the shadow on that overhang is amazing.

The dynamic range of a camera does not come close to human eyes.
Software (in camera or post processing) can merge the two extremes into an HDR image or (my favourite) expose for the highlights and pull detail from the shadows.
Still won't replicate the human eye.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Trying to be arty today but the light and cloud cover weren't kind.

Took a walk on the hills outside my old home town this morning. Always love these twisty old stunted oak trees. It's quite eerie walking through the wood of them on the lower slopes

Love those Kingfisher shots, particularly the lower one in flight. Bet that did take patience!0 -
Taken from my balcony while eating lunch... slightly annoyed that I'd missed some good moon shots as it rose over the 2000m mountain behind, so this'll have to do. I find the trouble with moon photos is that you need to do them in half light, otherwise they are too contrasty to get in detail of both moon and scenery, so the timing is crucial... so many things need to line up at the right time.

It's good though BT.
What lens did you use for that?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Thanks. Haha, like all my stuff, just my Sony HX60 on auto. It's a decent lens and good image chip, especially for a £200 camera. I just point and shoot.pinno said:It's good though BT.

One for the bird watchers.
A golden eagle?

Sorry, I'm rubbish with most birds, apart from robins and vultures. Here's the robin I snapped a few days ago:

It looks like it, the feathers on the wingtips and longish tail. I remember watching a Welsh wildlife programme last year and the presenter said if you are in doubt it won't be a Golden Eagle as they are so much bigger than a Buzzard.pblakeney said:One for the bird watchers.

I assume you're in Scotland? We had one in mid Wales but it died last year (shortly after being filmed in that programme I watched).0 -

Currently on the NW coast of Skye. This was our consolation for the weather being pants.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Everything is grey, so no.pinno said:
Well of course.pblakeney said:
Skye... weather being pants.
On a more serious note, have you noticed how clear the (sea) water is up there?
Apparently the weather was perfect the 2 weeks before we arrived. Natch. 🤬
Edit - Grey water.

Snap of one of many walks done this summer in glorious Dorset. This is the byway leading up to the Oxdrove on Cranborne Chase.

That’s unusual, two slopes leading into each other and no drainage ditch
Nice shot though

Maybe the drainage ditch is to the right and is obscured by overgrowth.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

I'm guessing it's on chalk or limestone, so is 'self-draining'.mr_goo said:No drainage ditch.

Chalk down that way I think. Would be a nice river in these parts.briantrumpet said:0 -
Read today that the UK is home to 50% of the world's chalk grassland habitat resource.Pross said:

On another note, we're also home to 40% of the world's grey seal population.0 -

Could you give me the nearest village name, please, @mr_goo, and I'll do some digging... you've got me interested.
I've got it now - it's all chalk, most probably Seaford Chalk
