For what it's worth Ken, I prefer the mono treatments for these tree shots. Nicely atmospheric.
Got a tip for us?

I think you're doing okay!
I like both the colour and B&W. One of those choices I always struggle with!
Yes I have loads of the chimney all over my Flickr. Unfortunately although I also had the RX100 set up on a tripod to video the event, I somehow pressed the 'go' button twice and only got 9 seconds of perfectly upright building
I did get some 'before' stills though [doublepost=1521910569][/doublepost]
Always the black and white, much more sinister
I've been through a few brands as well - Fuji (sensor broke), several Nikons (D300 being the best), a couple of Sony mirrorless, Olympus and now Panasonic.
It doesn't make you a better photographer; only time does that
Cheers
Hugh

Very nice. The only missing is a happy fisherman.
Get her a proper camera!Thanks Alex.
Here's one of Mrs MacRy taking snaps.

Get a second hand. I hear there is a well stocked second hand camerashop in Glasgow

I’ve tried getting her into cameras but she can’t be bothered with faffing around with one and prefers her iPhone.
You opinion always respected. Thanks

oops.... pmsl....
Same here. So every weekend I end up taking pictures of her craft creations for her.
Keeps her happy.
She’s really not interested. I used to try and convince her to take my Fuji X100 out when I was using my A7 and she just didn’t want to know. She’s more than happy using her phone.
Decrepitude.

This would be a great one to play with a bunch of remotely triggered flashes, so as to get specific pools of light up the trees. I reckon if you had four and the corresponding radio triggers, you could do it in about 6 frames, moving the flashes back another couple of trees each time for each progressive frame, then merging them in PP.Spooky tree lined road... This would be awesome in the dark with a torch!

Nice! She does remember to use it in landscape orientation too? I have a dear friend who only uses her iPhone in portrait mode for all photo's and video, then complains that she has to walk back too far to fit everything/everyone in the frame!Thanks Alex.

I can't agree with that line of thought, Ken. You've had some crackers of images that I've been suitably impressed by. Can't say which cameras they were taken with, just that they were delightfully composed and edited, covering landscapes, architecture and even people.
B&W, for me. Then the trees, the symmetry, their repetition and form becomes the focus without the distraction of colour.

First game of the lax season, and my son was goalie. His team won 5-0. After previous seasons playing with a lot of the same kids, this was a great way to start off the season. I'm not sure they scored 5 goals the entire season last year.

Apologies for the delay, it was a full week for me. As I said I would do, here are some of the photos I took when my wife and I visited this cathedral back in September 2016

March Auroras in Alaska
Beautiful. I went up to Fairbanks 18 years ago just to see the Aurora Borealis. Missed the sunspot cycle by 2 weeks, but it was still quite a beautiful sight.

OH MY WORD! No matter what we do, no matter how far we advance technologically. Mother Nature kicks our butts and she has been doing it for Eons.

Love the shots of the ceiling. Gorgeous detailing.
Very nice, but remember just the one photo per day.Apologies for the delay, it was a full week for me. As I said I would do, here are some of the photos I took when my wife and I visited this cathedral back in September 2016

Is that an old yellow Renault 5 hiding in the bokeh there?
You are too kind mate. I am woefully inadequate at this hobby but thank you for the boost.
You know I had thought of going back with a torch and doing what you suggested but you are right the flash idea sounds epic. Only challenge is that thay road isis frequented by hoodlums and boy racers so I would need to plan carefully with a spotter. Will have a think about it and maybe set something up.
Thx for the idea...
