Very nice. That green reminds me of a paint colour I used as a youngster painting model cars.
Grim up North...This is a take on a swing-aqueduct that carries the 18th-Century Bridgewater canal over the 19th-Century Manchester Ship Canal. Comments always appreciated.

I went to the zoo today with my son. It was an overcast day and we got there when the zoo opened at 10am. The cheetahs were much more active than on other visits--exploring their confines rather than hidden. There are 4 females in the exhibit, all from the same litter. One of them jumped onto a rock near a viewing area.
I had a new lens on the camera for the day, the Nikon Z 24-70 f/2.8. Not my usual zoo lens (a Nikon 70-200 f/2.8). But when we left in the morning I thought we were going somewhere else and because it's a new lens I've been shooting it exclusively to test it out anyway. A good 24-70 is a useful lens for travel and walking about.

Had a decent outing today, with a fair share of photos to go through. Been working more in full manual while trying to maintain crispness using a telephoto. I think I have many to share.
Playing around with some night shots I took last May in Death Valley . Taken with a Canon SL2 , Rokinon 10mm ,f2.8 (Probably)@25 seconds , ISO 6400 . Drove 8-9 miles from where I was staying to be away from any light . Sure was dark when I set up , but the images revealed light from Beatty , Nevada , over the mountains , probably 20 miles off . Image cleaned up via Topaz Denoise

Singapore. Here the same spot after sunset:
XT3 and XF 16-55mm and asperitas and other strato alto clouds yesterday.
Thanks for looking,

Very nice. Must be a great feeling to be out there at that time of night. Splendid isolation.

Really nice texture effect. Well done.
Another take on the swing-aqueduct, this time with a narrowboat actually using it. A swing-aqueduct is a pretty rare beast and this may be the only one operational. Comments always appreciated.

I'd have preferred it without the people, but this was as quiet as a National trust property was going to get on a Bank holiday weekend.
Thanks . Yeah , it's a big change from where I live ( just outside NYC in NJ). Lucky I can see the moon where I live , let alone stars .It's pretty amazing how well you can see by starlight out there , once your eyes get acclimated . It's real nice to be able to get away to a place where there's no cell service , no idiots blasting dreck from 900 watt car sound systems , none of the urban noise that one gets inured to . Death Valley is nearly the same in daytime . Its a big place and ,save for a few spots , is pretty empty.
Great day at the beach but why do some people suddenly become camera shy and won't even sign a model release.
Just go to broadwalk 12 and use your telephoto!Great day at the beach but why do some people suddenly become camera shy and won't even sign a model release.

Love lions. These pair look tired.

Nice ‘snap’
I decided to put my 92-year-old father back to work folding towels. I'm joking as he said he wanted to fold them. I was just goofing around with my Nikon 1 J5 camera that I found sitting in my drawer.
"Pure Shores"
If you could have an untouched beach all to yourself, would you tell anyone about it?
It may not be Maya Bay on Ko Phi Phi, but I feel Killantringan Shore and other beaches within the Rhinns of Galloway (SW Scotland) are arguably better as there are many evenings where you can be the only soul there - and I was lucky to have such good fortune earlier this year, especially on a night as pure as you see in this photograph.
Shot info: Fuji X-T2 with XF 16-55mm lens using Lee Filters 0.6 Neutral Density Soft Graduated filter and Formatt Hitech Firecrest 10 Stop Neutral Density filter.
