Yeah, I’d swapped it over then noticed the gap. It was only when processing them I realised I preferred the more zoomed in shot.
Conditions on that climb were tough. I’ve done it twice myself and it is a hard climb at the best of times. It was only when I walked back to the car, the way they were running, that I realised how bad it was as I had my back to it taking the photos.

If I'd not been riding with friends, I'd have tried several more shots with these clouds & lighting effects in various places en route. Oh well.

I think I was the only person in Wales who owns a camera that didn't get the aurora last night. I was getting red alerts all evening but wasn't able to get out until later and they'd dropped to amber by then. I've seen some stunning shots, the mountains being snow covered added to a lot of them. I suspect the activity might remain high but it looks like we're back tocloudy skies again for the foreseeable future.

Nothing too interesting today, but just a little bit pretty.

There were even pictures of the aurora over Stonehenge.

No aurora, and I tried hard 😉. The results of an evening stroll with a bit of dodging and burning.

This evening's effort.

It's too easy to photograph this view in Exeter Cathedral... but I still can't resist it. I was there to play the Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy music (Nunc Dimittis by Geoffrey Burgon) for the funeral of the husband of a friend.

For today's effort, a fairly standard waterfall shot. I need to spend more time on foreground composition.
Probably means I need to leave the wife at home. 🤣

Still failing to get satisfactory photos of waves at Budleigh Salterton. Because it shelves to steeply, the only way you get them lined up is by shooting along the beach, and because if you shoot directly out to sea there isn't anything other than sea, it's hard to get a good composition of waves head-on. Oh well.

Thanks. Doing it reminded me how quickly the tide moves... only a minute or so, and it was just about to make my helmet soggy (as it were) from being a foot away from the water's edge.

A couple of flowers. If I had a really proper macro, I'd love to get really close-up droplets and turn them up the other way as weird landscapes.

Nice droplet shot. I think a really good macro lens is required to do it "right". Coming from failed attempts... 😉
I suppose high resolution cropped might achieve the similar.

Never managed the latter, as on my Box Brownie, you can see the approximations, I suspect mostly from JPEGing, pixel resolution after cropping, and the limits of the lens. These are two of the best I've managed, as never been able to get them in focus to fill more than about a tenth of the full frame.
I have once or twice got close enough to get the droplet to burst onto the lens. Oops.

I guess this is where a genuine 90 to 105mm macro lens comes into it's own, and why they're not cheap.

Hmm, I might try the macro function on my zoom lens. It’s supposed to do 1:2 magnification so not a “true” macro but keen to find something to try it out on.

I see I haven't quite got the helmet-stand removal quite right, but five minutes of deceit was enough.

Isn't it an argument which has been done to death over the years? There were lots of complaints about digital photography when it first came on the scene.

I think the Trotsky episode predated digital photography (well, other than the finger wot pressed the shutter).

Oh FFS, now you've got me trying to find the original image. Was it in Vogue?

No, the not quite so in vogue noticiclismo.com and dailynews.com.
Should have credited them really.

Don't mind the missing bike prop/stand (if I hadn’t seen it already I'd be looking for the twig) but don't like the radio/TV mast not lining up 😉

Haha. Actually it's the boat's mast... I have been known in the past to use perspective correction to get the skyline and masts exactly perpendicular...
