Recent late afternoon midweek solo hack, first attempt on ‘The Gap’. Been mtb’ing for thirty years and never done it. I almost bailed ‘cos it was foggy and stormy looking. Hung around, did some trails lower down. Then the storm moved on, the fog burned out, leaving warmth, dry’ish trails. Night-time attempt up next… (might not do that one solo though).

Love the moonshot and doordonot’s picture too 🙂 Make me want to ride my bike and look at the stars 🙂

A couple of lovely lanscapes there Jad. And a good moon shot too.

Very pleased to get this shot tonight from the window; and sorry about the leaves on the lawn, I’ll sort it tomorrow.

As its a bit of niche product i thought somebody on this thread might be interested by the Mindshift Gear outdoor photo rucksack that i’m selling over on the forum:

I’ve had the week off – managed a day in London and spent some time in the National Portrait Gallery.

Wow Alanach, what time was it when you took that picture?

Haven’t posted anything for a while, remembered to take my Gorillapod analog with me today to play with a slow shutter app; quite pleased with the result…

Part of the ongoing ‘transitions’ project. I absolutely love this one.

This isn’t part of the project since the ones I include are all B&W and there is a B&W version of this but the colour one works much better.

geetee1972 – portrait gallery shot is excellent, for me anyway.

Thanks Greg, kind of you to say and yes I agree, I really like that one also. I was sort of watching the scene unfold and thinking ‘oh please go and stand in front of that painting’; the lighting and the angle all just seemed to come together.

This was shot wide open at f/1.4 on a manual focus lens but crucially, it is a new camera body; the Leica SL, which has the most amazing EVF. It’s twice the resolution of the Sony’s, which was no slouch, but still just not good enough for critical focus at large apertures. The quality of the Leica’s EVF though is so good it makes manual focusing like this both a breeze and hugely rewarding. The fact that the lens is a 50 Summilux also helps with the way this image works.

Greg the SL is a beast – but the lens is what makes it work, nothing wrong with manual at all. Agree that the EVFs on the newer Leicas are excellent.
Currently getting to grips with my new Q and find myself using the manual as much as the AF. Which is surprising me.

Lovely photo polarisandy. I really don’t understand what it is I like about your photos as they are usually very simple compositions but I find it pleasant and interesting to just gaze at them. Some of your recent countryside shots with the atmospheric mist inspired me on some of the photos I took from my recent biking trip in Wales. They made me think about composition a bit more, rather than my usual method of just using rule of thirds with the rider and the trail in shot. I’m really happy with the results so thank you.

geetee, I really like your Landizwe photo, really nice photo capturing a lot of character.

Thankyou 🙂

Thank you Jairaj i’m really pleased that you found them inspiring.
I spend a lot of time thinking about composition, but hey you’ve got lots of time with medium format cameras, tripods, film and light meters!
As time goes by and i take more photos i find that the compositions get simpler (or i might call them less cluttered) and they feel stronger and calmer for it (well to me anyway).

Liking the portraits GT, great to see.
Also like that last shot Beanum.

Happy Halloween to you all.

Visited Clandon House on Sunday. Amazing place, can’t believe I didn’t get to see it before the fire.

iPhone snap… no alteration.

Best time of year. Some stunning stuff up there (and out there)

Happened upon these happy looking fungi just yesterday:

Our badger is still coming, so had the chance to get some better photos.

You win tlr. 😀

Is that a stuffed badger tir?

I only say that as it’s hair is in the same place on each shot, as is the angle that it’s looking down and to the right.

If it’s real I’m sorry

^good taxidermist as that eye-snot looks real!

Ha!

Very much alive I’m afraid, visiting every night and scoffing all the peanuts. Currently shooting through the windows, but hopefully she will be ok with me being outside soon. And fingers crossed for cubs in the spring.

Thanks Geetee. Hes a really nice bloke, and a very decent and genuine person, but he looks a bit intimidating walking down the street. Wouldn’t hurt a fly in reality.
