Ugh, so pasting the html link from Flickr doesn't work now.

@rjsterry - indeed... I can't see any way to embed an image from elsewhere, but at least uploaded ones are decent now.
From today's walk from my doorstep...

Request failed with status code 400 is what I seem to be getting

I think that is the file size limit. I haven't worked out what the limit is, though.

I always reduce mainstream web photos to 1600 x 1200, on the basis that that's probably as big as most people's display resolution, so more than that is wasted data/storage.

Random Flickr image. You need to link to the actual picture. See bold below. Whilst that seems a bit rubbish, I don't see why Flickr doesn't just give a link.
Brian's wordpress works.

Fantastic light today. Clear as a bell. Tourist tat, but one or two slightly artistic.

Moon shot is very well done!

Good work there TheBigBean👍️
Well done Brian, single handedly keeping the thread going (and with the shots).
Might try and take this again during sunset.
Oi, no jokes about photographing a small buoy on the beach.

A couple of experimental(ish) ones:

Just in case it caused confusion, none of the nice shots above were mine.
I'm trying to work out how to do night photos and it's not going well. I suspect the night sky in London doesn't help.

No confusion here. Just a thanks for sorting out how to link from Flickr.

Poor weather certainly ups the ante on the creative side - nice work, @masjer. I've looked back at mine from today, and they are all point & shoot tat, as the light just made everything glow, and it seems to have turned off any creativity. So I'll just put up one in which I can see my house.

I’ll look up some tips for you in my Christmas present but tripod and long exposures are the key plus maybe a light pollution filter assuming you’re using a DSLR.

Ah, that's better.

Green Park looking a bit Gothic.

Like the sharpness of reflection in amongst all the drizzle and cold of the first one and the car headlights add a nice bit of narrative to the second.

Cheers. It’s been wet, windy and wild, so trying to embrace the conditions by going full moody. The bottom one is inspired by (or plagiarised) Todd Hido’s landscape photos. It’s taken through the car windscreen (wipers off), creating a partly blurry wet look. It was nice being inside a dry car, but probably not a great technique on a busy road.🚔️

Ha, first time I've managed to get the exposure vaguely acceptable for a 'long' exposure water shot. ¼ second. Plus one auto one from slightly further down for comparison.

I'll add this one, especially for those who dislike woodburners.

Nature creating works of art . (Must say that there was better ones but they'd thawed by the time I got my camera).
A car windscreen and bonnet after heavy rain has been frozen.

^^^ Yeah, good old nature! Cool.

Those alpine mineral loaded streams do look a good colour. A change from our silt, slurry/sewage loaded ones.

Yes, they are particularly nice in winter, and when there's gentle snow melt, though they are full of marle sediment after heavy rain... looks pretty filthy then.

A very obliging heron in the local park

Talking of things photographic, one of the pleasures of spending lots of time in different seasons somewhere gives the chance to take shots not possible to summer visitors... I think @masjer takes full advantage of that with his beach scenes.
A case in point, I'd gone to this gorge to see if the occasionally spectacular icicles were in evidence (they weren't), but the low winter afternoon light and a hard frost meant that not only was the light interesting for this shot, but the combination of leafless trees (so one can see the river) and frost on the 500-year-old bridge's parapets really help the composition, and give a feeling of how cold it was here.

I can’t even be arsed going out in this weather. All I want is a few clear, crisp and frosty nights. It shouldn’t be too much to ask for in December. When we did have some a few weeks ago I had too much on after being on holiday.

Even though the weather has been pants, I still appreciate the changing seasons, endless Welsh sunshine would get tiresome.
I try to make the most of the coast, whatever the season or weather. Living in such proximity helps.
Good sunsets or atmospheric skies haven’t really materialised this year (here anyway), making landscape/seascape photography more of a challenge.
I like the simplicity and muted tones of the reeds shot, RJS.
