Beautiful photo James, looks like a great place to live. We travelled a bit of Scotland last year and had a wonderful time.

Thanks Randall,

I like the painterly effect you got by shooting so far into the diffraction zone.

I was trying to get a softer look in camera without "fixing" it in post

It worked for me.

I've been failing to get anything decent this morning with ICM - too fast, too slow, pointing the wrong way when shutter pressed...

I have more than a few days like that , what does ICM mean ?

Intentional Camera Movement - inspired by some of the images here, I thought I'd have a go.

Least worst of the attempts

Fascinating effects of fisheye plus shallow DoF plus field curvature

In other news - I paid my wife's outstanding tax bill - that sort of day!

I see your ICM shot is at 1/80 shutter speed. That is way too fast. If conditions are that bright, close down your aperature and/oruse ND filter to cut down the light to allow something under 1/10 sec. My personal preference is around 1/4 second, sometimes a bit longer around 1-2 sec. At 1/4 second, I can keep some details of reality which I like. At these slower speeds you only have to move the lens a bit and can use more control keeping subject in the frame. Look for color and value contrast. Cloudy days or a bit darker locations or times are your friend and allow shooting without the ND filter.

Thanks for the help.

Being colorblind means that sometimes you can't tell if you got the shot until you get back to Lightroom and can really see the foliage color contrasts.
Here's a couple of the previous snaps. Slightly interesting that the Year 1 shot was almost at the same location.

How do you do color Jrq23 being colorblind.

Click to expand...

I'm red/green colorblind, so it's not as drastic. Nowadays, I have a pair of Enchroma glasses, which exaggerates the red/green colors, and makes it easier to spot the contrast.
I found the real year 1 photo:

Looked up Enchroma glasses.

I recall watching Billiards Pool Snooker on a Black n White tele

figuring out colors from their shades of contrasts greys.

Four years of planning for this shot in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.

Click to expand...

Spill the beans Jrq23. Intrigued by this 4 years planning.

Click to expand...

Nothing to dramatic. Basically,

Year 1 - Find location in the park

Year 2 - Check weather conditions and their effect

Year 3 - Pick time of day for sun angle

Year 4 - Use previous years, plus angle, tripod height, exposure length, etc.

Year 1

Year 2

Interesting.

I wonder what the beholders feel when looking at these different versions. Have you ever tried to show and ask some people?

Day before yesterday forever blowing bubbles.

[ o ]

This March picked up £10 Hoya 135 f/2.8 in m42 mount as it does bubbles. Slipped my mind to utilise it. Seeing Oly 50-150/2.8 doing bubbles on this thread jogged my memory. Thereafter couldn't find this Hoya for a day.

Hampstead heath, may be?

It's nice how some of this views allow to forget we are in this big metropolis...

I like the one with the kite.

Finally set aside enough time to hunt for some fall foliage, but it wasn't spectacular.
Caumsett (NY) state park is on Long Island sound, so possibly hasn't had that much of a chill yet, or colors are just drab due to the dry conditions this year.

While color was not great, there were plenty of birds about. Of course I hadn't brought my 300+TC, so these were shot w the 12-200 plus digital TC and a bit of cropping. Hadn't put them through Topaz yet

It had been cloudy and rainy all week. Saturday afternoon, when the sun finally broke through, I resumed my photo walk and came across a Ginkgo tree, known for its distinct fan-shaped leathery leaves.

Ginkgo trees are the only surviving members of an ancient group of plants that are believed to have existed for up to 150 million years. They are prized for their autumn foliage, which is a deep saffron yellow.

Weather has been awful for a couple of weeks and today again rain and heavy overcast.

That’s the magic of art, especially regarding photography. One can have a look at their own works days, months, years after... and discover something unexpected.

I really like the composition. Was it quick reflexes on your part, or did you wait until the goose hit its mark?
