Good morning to everyone wherever you are in the world...
  • Please reply to my original post when submitting your own pictures.
  • That’s reply to my ORIGINAL POST when submitting your own pictures.
  • Give your reply a title.
  • Leave your guns and knives at the door. Keep it polite. There are plenty of other threads if you can’t manage that.
  • First thread kicks off Saturday morning (UK time).
  • Don’t add any photos after my ‘POST NO NEW PICS’ message (reasoning below).
  • Newbies encouraged, any standard.
  • Avoid wasting thread space with replies such as “Thanks n/t”
  • Try to avoid separate posts with pictures of a similar theme. Put them all in the same post to avoid filling the threads too quickly.
  • Photographs do not have to have been taken this week.
  • Images are often more impressive when viewed large.
  • Pictures of ducks in the local park? C’mon, you’re better than that.
  • Posting here implies you’re happy to receive a critique of your work.
  • You can post links to external websites but people in here tend to ignore them.
  • Apologies if I don't reply to everyone. This thread is becoming more and more popular and therefore more time-consuming. So…
  • PLEASE TRY TO COMMENT ON SOME OTHER PEOPLE’S WORK. That includes YOU newbies…it helps to take the strain off of me a little.
***PLEASE NOTE***

We will start the next part of this thread before this one is full. At around 110/150 posts. This does not mean the current thread is closed, but please don't post any new PHOTOGRAPHS to it.
  • Please continue to post COMMENTS and REPLIES to any thread but when a newer one has been launched, post your new photographs to that.
  • The reasoning is that if you’ve posted a picture in an earlier thread there'll still be room for you to receive a comment on it later in the week.
  • It also prevents tail-enders in earlier threads getting no comments at all because the thread to which they have posted is full.
-W

A series of pictures taken along the squalid little river that runs through my town during my lunch break.

It is an interesting exercise to try and get some interesting pictures out of an uninteresting place.

The river was frozen over in the very cold weather we are having.

1 and 7 for me. Bit harsh to call it squalid - I think it's kind of pretty. Maybe just your shots do that.

In-camera pano. Note the aggressive sharpening and saturation algorithms.

I like the vibe of the first. And the 2nd is a fine pano. I can appreciate them more now I have an ultrawide monitor. But you're right, the 3rd is nasty compared to #2.

There are much better images of birds posted on the Forum. I have not used the EM1, 40-150 w/TC for quite some time. Belongs to my son now. I took the Sony a7rii and D500 out today also. Need to start taking the 500 f4vr w/tripod/gimbal but it was fun. Lucky the Kingfishers showed up, nothing much else did :(

To buy a 300 f4 Pro or not to buy... that is the question :)

Anticipate the Light and wing it when you get it wrong but always have fun

Met a good friend in the field, just lost his mum so shooting was pretty awkward with dividing my attention to him and the sun that was setting rapidly...

As an aside the largest tower is 100 m high and at 2.9 km from where I stood.

Which ultrawide monitor do you have? We have just got ultrawides installed in a room designed for in many cases two people working together as a team. I have not tried to use them for viewing photos yet.
 
I like the first one with what appears to be an interaction. The third is a great subject for a caption competition.
 
The shooting position is very well chosen. Did you mathematically calculate it before setting out?
 
Lovely shot.

Superb compositions, very nice colours.
 
My GF liked this one more.

Beautiful! The mum was lost lost not lost was she? I know photography is important but that might be considered insensitive.

The mum was dead. I knew it would come across as inconsideratewhen I wrote it down, but it happened 2 months ago, she was 94 but I know he loved her dearly. We have had ample contact after her passing away also via phone. But still I felt awkward about what to do. If it was the first time I saw him and it was a short while ago or there was any indication he really felt like talking about it, I would have stopped shooting. But as usual we are winterweatherfreaks and soon we discussed the development of weather next week and if we would venture out into nature to wander through the expected very deep snow (40 cm is already there with more to come). So we talked a bit about what happened but also about other things.
 
Managed to grab this shot on my daughter's 3rd birthday recently. Very happy with it, considering I had all of about 5 seconds to get my camera switched on, and change my settings to something I thought might work!

Cropped to suit, but SOOC other than that I think.
