Photo of the Day - May 2022

A rather colourful food truck spotted in Cochrane, AB yesterday. No we didn't partake, we were in Cochrane for the ice cream. Except for resizing in Preview pretty much as it came from the camera.
Lumix ZS200.

Went out last night to try to get photos of the Milky Way above some old vehicles at this Southern California location. The sky was clear until shortly before sunset, when clouds moved in. By the time the stars should have been coming out, there was no visibility. No stars meant a change of plans - did some painting with light instead.
Canon 5D Mk IV, Canon 16-35mm 2.8 Mk III, 20 sec. @f/4.5, ISO 3200, 2 small LED flashlights.

Sometimes things move more quickly in Oklahoma.

What stretch of highway is this? Last trip through OK had the speed at 75.

Did the spray 'n pray with some zooming barn swallows. Probably took 60-80 photos in sequential mode, had maybe 10 with the bird in the frame, and just the one with him close to in-focus. It was also very windy. Used the E-M5's Focus limiter to keep the background from getting the focus. I claim this a victory, even if he's not all the way in the frame and I had to crop. BIF is already hard, and it don't get much harder than barn swallows! You can see his lunch target scattered throughout the focal plane.

I’ve tried and failed. I can go one harder though. Try bats!

I actually got a bat once. Not a great photo, but they don’t often appear during the day. Both creatures are very erratic fliers though.

Not at all. Charged my i3 for free at work today. 50 miles literally cost me nothing but tyre wear!

I got one as well at night. It was a dark black blob in a slightly less dark sky. More noise than I’d normally be happy with.

My neighbours are mostly horses and sheep. But I’ll throttle anyone who damages it. Most expensive car I’ve ever bought (as Mrs AFB keeps reminding me!).

Exactly 90 miles east of Oklahoma City on I-40, westbound lane. The speed limit was only for a small stretch and really surprised me! This was about a month ago, perhaps a new thing?
