Post your PHOTOS! - January and February 2023

Just a few requirements:

1. Photos must be taken with M-series cameras.

2. Photos must be taken in January or February 2023.

3. Please try to include the EXIF info (or at least post some info about the body and lens).

4. Comments on photos are allowed, but try to keep a nice tone.

Frozen lake. M200 + EF-M 22mm.
Shot in jpeg + adjusted a few levels in Lightroom.

春节过后，我得找工作了。

春节期间，享受和父母呆在家里的日常生活。

I was trying to get some small birds when this appeared at the wrong end of the garden, a very rare bird around here whereas the black n white great spotted ones do come to the feeder occasionally. It didn't stay long, a couple shots then flew off to the trees

OK, I’ll give this a try.  These are JPGs with no post-processing, which I’m sure would have improved them.

EOS M6 II, Laowa 9mm

EOS M6 II, EF-M 11-22

M6II, excellent picture, but too cold for me.

Let me give you some warmth.

Big boats setting place to watch the Copacabana beach fireworks of new year.

Well, technically, this photo was taken last year, but at this time, at some parts of the world, it was already January.

Fireworks

After more than a week of clouds and rain, some bits of clear sky were available for the sun to peek through. I  was too lazy to go somewhere for a better foreground - this is from a second-story window.

The exif is wrong (thanks, PTGui!). This is a 2-shot pano with the Sigma 30 mm f/1.4 lens.

Montego Bay - Jamaica 2023

M6 and 55-200

This morning had the coldest moments (-19) of the year so far and most probably of the whole year (our year ends when the winter ends; When day and night have equal lengths, usually at 21th Mars). The cold is crippling. I wonder what can we do for them.

What should I do to make this shot sharp? Buy a high level lens? Shoot in proper lighting? Or it is my technique?

My favorite scenes.

Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Sekob. Use Topaz Sharpen AI

Thanks Sekob and David. Next week I will change my camera's setting from jpeg to RAW+jpeg and get a software. I hear DxO Photolab 6's name everywhere especially for noise removing. What about sharpening or other processings? Is it overall the best choice?

Sorry, I know this thread is not the right place.

For birds, you can make feeders with food (grain, lard)

I feed them (wheat and rice). Yesterday a photo of a frozen one (in our city)  was spread in socials, mourning for mourning.
