Welcome to the Weekly Image Thread!

This thread will appear every Saturday (GMT). If the thread is nearing full before the next Saturday, I may start a new thread and carry on until it fills or the next Saturday arrives and it is reasonably full in which case I will start another. Confused, so am I! From time to time the start could be delayed if I am unavailable.

Although this Weekly thread is in the Olympus SLR forum, we openly welcome users of all brands and models.

Please:
  1. Reply to this post and change the TITLE!
  2. Please reply to at least one other contribution, your replies encourage posters!!!
  3. If asked, please share your processing techniques or technical details.
  4. Please show the EXIF if possible. Please identify the lens used regardless of which camera was used to take the image. This helps people form opinions of the lens used with the body to possibly influence future acquisitions.
  5. If special lighting was used to create your image stating what was done may help others.
Thanks for joining and contributing this week.

Interesting bridge .. nice photographs .. WE still have one or so along the Tennessee River ... I'll have to find that picture for my Looking Back series ..

I drove 25 miles to the Cal Poly Marine Lab in Trinidad to see their new octopus. Octopus are timid when small and hide most of the time because they are delicious. I was disappointed but I got some fish. The baby octopus will grow very fast and I get him in a few months. Then I went to The Seascape restaurant and ate some fish.

Trinidad Bay, Trinidad Head, and City of Trinidad from Scenic Drive which is the very old and original Pacific Coast Highway. After driving 5 miles of it you need new struts. The marine lab is on the right end of the isthmus.

3 different groupers. One of them would have been cheaper than the fifty bucks I paid for halibut at the Seascape.

All of the aquarium shots with FL50r on camera using TTL auto to set the flash intensity. I set the EV control on the camera to EV+flash to override flash intensity if necessary due to distance of the fish. Plastic diffuser on the flash and the lens hood are kept touching the glass to keep reflections from the lens.

From downtown Trinidad which is around 175 feet above sea level, which is helpful when there is a tsunami.

That's all I got which are fit to post. Rich
 
Thanks, Andrew. Don't you have a Panasonic flash? If it is one which does TTL I read that it uses the Oly TTS system.

Some aquariums I've visited don't let you get close enough to the glass to touch the lens hood and flash to the glass. Rich
 
As much as I like the hydrangea I fear drastic action might be required Paul.

Dave
 
Our blue hydrangea is down to nature not any interference from us, Andrew. Pink ones are also common in the area but white ones are rare.

Dave
 
Thanks for your good wishes Rich . I'm scunnered.

A large 🥃 might help.😊

Dave
 
Thanks WN. I prefer the blue variety to the pink. Our hydrangea gets bigger every year it seems and it may require cutting back soon.

Let's enjoy it a little longer. More coffee?

Dave
 
Nice work Rich. The variety of marine life in the ocean never ceased to amaze me. Whoever created them did a great job.

Dave
 
I always look forward to your bird images WN. They're way better than anything I could hope to achieve.

My heart goes out to the feathered friend in the last image.

Dave
 
Lovely light and sky on the first Chris. There is a bascule bridge about an hours drive from here but it doesn't work any more. I'll have to try and photograph it next time I'm out that way.
 
They are a lovely blue Dave. I'm not really keen on the pink ones.

Schools here have another three weeks holiday left yet and the weather forecast is for a warmer week next week.
 
I do indeed have the Panasonic high end flash Rich. I saved a couple of hundred dollars buying it instead of the Olympus at the time. The Olympus dropped in price here about a year later. I do have an Olympus FL50 flash as well, but not the r model, the original model. I think I misunderstood what you were doing. I was picturing a hood contraption over the flash and lens that you put up against the glass, like the soft box or some other setup. I did not ever try getting the flash up against the glass as well as the actual lens hood. I try to get the lens hood up against the glass when shooting hockey from ice level but I don't recall what I did the last time I was in an aquarium! Perhaps off camera flash would work better but I don't have a radio controlled model unless the Panasonic is.
