Little while since I posted but note the interval is getting shorter! 
From the top-end of the town walls around Conwy. The nice weather only lasted for an afternoon - back to normal now...Comments always appreciated.

AlleywayWas at a local community radio station a couple of days ago, and just next door is an old disused railway station, where I found this old beam/arm from a carriage crane. I couldn't help but investigate it with a shallow DOF.

That's a wonderful play of light and movement, @Ish !Little while since I posted but note the interval is getting shorter!

Love the beautiful colour contrasts here, Molly, and where you have placed them in the frame, so as to balance each other nicely! And the lovely shallow DOF with the great separation and softness of the fore and backgrounds.
Looks like one of @MacRy's friends on the left! Nicely done.Was at a local community radio station a couple of days ago, and just next door is an old disused railway station, where I found this old beam/arm from a carriage crane. I couldn't help but investigate it with a shallow DOF.

I like it. Lovely lighting.
Thanks, AFB. Believe me it's an innocuous bit of pine tree shedding. I'm just as bad with spiders as poor old @MacRy and had absolutely thoroughly investigated this crane so as to make sure it was perfectly safe to clamber onto for this POV, as I don't have a pivoting screen on my 6D.
You might regret owning up to that!Thanks, AFB. Believe me it's an innocuous bit of pine tree shedding.

I've got a thick skin! Monday night we went out for dinner to an Indian restaurant as a family to celebrate the oldest boys 23rd and parked near a big hedge, where I had what probably looked like an epileptic fit standing up as I touched an orb weavers web and came face to face with the huge monster of a thing. What did the family do? Laugh of course! And very heartily, might I add. Not a note of sympathy from any of them...

didn't know what to think of this outdoor light in Germany.
There’s a reason why kings and queens used to make their castles and palaces in the middle of nowhere. You don’t get to see such sunsets everywhere.
Christmas is over - church interior with nativity scene. Stitch of three photos from the T/S lens - the longest part was the 13seconds exposure for each!. Comments always appreciated.

Nice. A bit on the wonk though. Needs to come down on the left.
Not a good time of the year for this location , whether you like it or not the sun will always be in the way , but thought the ice blobs were interesting so gave it a shot.

The day after taking the previous shot of the carriage crane pole, I returned, armed with the tilt-shift, so as to get focus throughout the image. The previous one was taken at 105mm, so it was able to block out most of the periphery stuff. This one had to be taken a little higher up to achieve focus according to the Scheimpflug rule and also to allow me to wedge my tripod in the piece of machinery. I needed 6 degrees of tilt to get focus throughout the image here, as I was about 200mm from the focus plane. I used an aperture of f/5.6, even though the exif says f/16, I really need to create more export settings for a Lightroom plugin that I use to enter in exif data for my manual lenses.
