A Limpkin, camouflaged on the bank of the canal.
Last week I received my new camera - Canon EOS RP. This is my first full frame camera. I have been enjoying it so far, though I'll be happier when Adobe adds support for it. Editing with DPP is not ideal.

More from lovely Spain. As I sit here in wet and miserable England....
Okay, since I haven't had the opportunity to shoot anything new in the last weeks and since we already have a mediterranean theme going, I dove deep into my archive and recovered something from a vacation on Malta almost 15 years ago (still shot on film):
In this case, it’s a spruce, so I guess we can stick to the scientific genus—Picea.Nice. How do you say "pine" in Tamarian language?
Most pictures I try to make them look reasonably close to what I saw when I took the picture (black and whites are an obvious, but different type of exception). This picture is showing what we can't see - the stars. With the right settings, the camera can see the stars that we can't see with our eyes. I took one shot to make the stars visible and combined it with different exposures of the carillon at Stone Mountain. I then edited the sky to enhance the star field as much as I could. The carillon is red from the red lights shining on it.
I'm not certain the star field is completely accurate, as some of those points of light could be noise from the camera. I did compare different versions of this shot to see if they matched the stars, and it does look like I get the same points of light in different versions. Longer exposures show the blurry stars you get from Earth's rotation, so it appears mostly accurate. Opinions from astronomy photographer experts are welcome.
I also want to redo this image. When I took it I didn't notice that my camera had switched to JPG only mode, so I didn't get any RAW versions. Apparently when using the built-in HDR merge feature in the camera it switches off RAW. It makes 3 shots and merges them to a JPEG. It doesn't turn RAW back on when done, either.
This is best viewed as large as you can get it.

You've got presidents, some famous physicists and inventors... and a pretty good shortstop.
A beautiful old house in Spain I liked.
