Actually, that would make a cracking XL canvas print in a smallish room, as all those details (including the dog, which I've seen now, right in the middle) would make people imagine back stories about the groups, conversations etc., when see in large format up close.

'middle aged' you're being kind.😀

If I get out of the cells, that'd be a nice idea. Never had a proper print done.

Maybe you could start a Canvas Photo Printing Club while you're inside. I'm sure that your probation officer will help with setting up a small business when you do get out.

I was outraged when I was called 'middle aged' by a student when I was 36 (he did immediately apologise). I'd happily take that now.

Specialising in saucy beach postcards. Shh you didn't hear that from me.

There’s a cracking by place I used online for an aurora photo a couple of months ago. I didn’t know at the time but they are down your neck of the woods (Begelly). Unlike most places you can upload any file size, much me was a TIFF of a cropped 12 panel panorama so I think it was around 300MB. Ordered on a Friday and it was delivered next day. I also used them recently for a small (10” x 8”) print of a photo I took of Mousehole harbour at night as a gift for a family friend who was raised there but is now stuck in London. That wasn’t as cost effective though as the postage was about 5 times the cost of the print!

Thanks for that Pross. One day I'll get something printed and good to use a local place.

Three frosty ones this morning, the last one being my garden. Can't remember if I've mentioned it, but in the first photo, there's a path on that ledge near the top with the snow on - suffice to say, you'll never get any photos from me taken on it.

A calm heavy mist in the woods this morning. The paths were closed for obvious reasons, but I forgot to read the warning signs on the gates.
Toppled beech tree. Well more 4 way split than toppled.
Calmer scene.
Busy, but I like the sombre feeling in this one.

We're both idiots, given that as I was taking this photo, a rock about the size of a big Christmas pudding (to keep it topical) fell about 10m to my right from quite a height, smashing on the road with quite an impressive "Fuck me!" noise. Actually, I made the "Fuck me!" noise.

And to think, you were in charge of school children a few weeks ago 🤦🏻♂️

That's too close for comfort. At least you didn't get skewered getting back on your bike.

Yeah, I won't be loitering there each time I pass through there from now on. I think the amount of moisture in the ground, sun in the day and very cold nights is causing quite a few mini and not so mini rockfalls... the main road where a woman was killed in the summer has had to be closed again as there was a rockfall of "a few cubic metres" about a week ago.

I remember something about that from school geography...frost shattering/freeze thaw action.

Thanks I was pleased by a few, but deleted more than a few.
I've had problems with the white balance, sometimes too blue/cool, then I change it, then feel that they are too warm. Sometimes you have to walk away and try again fresh. That's the problem linking photos (to here) from Flickr. Any editing on Flickr severs the link.

First time I remember icicles at this spot. Normally the rocks are pretty stable, as it's a famous (and tricky) rock climbing location.
Not much choice about going through the gap where the river cuts through to get to town either, other than a 10km detour over un unmetalled road/col. I think I'll take my chances, with my super-duper bit of polystyrene on my bonce.

Like the lighting and exposure in #2. 👏

Water gets in cracks/gaps, water freezes, ice expands, cracks get bigger until....
My working theory of the ice being sticky enough to hold things together until it melts and it falls apart.

Yeah, ditto white balance, ironically with the snow ones - on auto everything was extremely blue, so, despite it being sunny, I changed the setting to 'cloudy', which seemed to reduced the blanket blueness.

I’m sure I mentioned that the first time Brian mentioned the loose overhang. It’s less likely in higher altitudes due it remains as ice for longer. Where as in the UK we get freeze/thaw more often. Which is why UK limestone crags are much looser than their European counterparts.

Obviously I have adjusted my thorough risk assessment in light of recent evidence.

Also explains potholes.

On #2, even though the mist was a pea souper, I took it wide open (f1.7) to increase subject separation from the busy background. I did a version like that and at f8. The f1.7 looked the better of the two.
It’s been something I thought could possibly work in the woods in certain circumstances, but never got around to trying, stubbornly trying to keep everything in focus front to back.

Bright white snow must 'confuse' the camera, both in WB and exposure.

The Sony does have a 'snow' setting "to preserve the brilliance of snow", but given the crazy contrasts I was in the HDR setting, knowing that as long as detail was in there somewhere, I could fiddle at home.

Using a shallow depth of field has been my theory to replace fog for separation for a while now but never really put it to the test. Nice to know it can work. Woodland photography really is the hardest genre to get right imo.
