A bit a fan fiction in this build. I was researching various Delta 7s piloted by various Jedi. Nothing came up for Ki-Adi-Mundi. Being a Cerean male and having a binary brain, he probably wouldn’t fit in a Delta 7, so I figured he may have to have his own special Jedi Starfighter, like Yoda. I thought the S-250 would be a perfect fit for him so I moc’d it this way.
A bit of postcode lottery today after local runner and bird enthusiast Marcus Doolan stumbled upon this Black Redstart at my local cycle track. Very convenient lockdown birding as the canal and cycle track are pretty much all I have to enjoy during lockdown.
Another one left over from my trip to Oregon in Dec/Jan, same place as the previous shot but a few steps back, not nearly as dramatic but still kinda cool I think :-)

This is another quick and dirty edit. I don't really have the time to spend much time editing lately so took about five minute to throw about 6 curve layers on here and a white balance shift. My favorite shot of the day is going to sit dormant for a while until I can figure out how to process it.
I spotted Charlie Widdis, local photographer and only other yahoo to brave the -12f this morning out on the rocks. The breakwater is completely exposed to the wind and damn it was chilly. I was hoping that there would be some seasmoke coming up over the breakwater but low tides combined with biting winds kept the smoke from really rising up in this area. To the right, the bay was filled with billowing smoke but no real interest.
Spent the morning playing with the telephoto to compress the smoke for a little more drama. I only popped the wide angle on for a few shots including this one. I always forget that just because you can't see something on your 2 inch lcd (in this case the seasmoke or lighthouse) doesn't mean that it won't turn out when viewed on a 27 inch monitor.
Interesting tidbit that I have now learned about walking on breakwaters in the winter over the last few days. Make sure you are probing where you step ahead of you. Not sure how many near disastrous steps I almost took into the crevices between the rocks.

Dragon Guard - You know she is a little bit dangerous.
Drachen Wache - Du weißt sie ist ein bisschen gefährlich.
my highlight from today was a five second flight by a bittern , a lifer for me and even though I never got a focus lock on its good enough for me .. well pleased
Still a bit early for migrations, might as well walk the first stretch.
Shot quickly with the 300mm zoom out the side window of the car, traffic coming from behind. About one mile from home, a field on the left with a family of Sandhills, this parent leading me away from junior, who is almost as tall as the adults. Soon enough they will fly south.

I can always dream about what he might look like in a few months. Deer are ever-present on the bayou, but they are not noted for standing out in the open when people are around. This would be a handsome buck when the rut arrives in the winter. Photo taken on Armand Bayou. White-tail Deer standing tall at the water’s edge.

Just a wee bit of messing around on a cool grey day! The light was lovely but there were distractions so I had a wee mess. Normally I would prefer not to touch a wild animal shot but the light was so good and the background, although dark, was not.
Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 12/02/2022 --

Well for a wide shot here is a 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood Series seventy-five and it is a bit Long as well as Wide . !! It is 250 inches long and 80 inches wide - might need four parking spaces in some of England's car parks and that is only if there is room to manoeuver in the first place .
So this is a wide shot to get all the length of the car in and the challenge brief was a shot that is 2:1 at least - think this shot is 3.15 : 1 or thereabouts !!
I did have some fancy notion of taking a shot with the camera in " Panoramic " mode , but as you can see in the first comment box , railway stations are not usually built on hairpin bends !!
If you are interested in seeing some facts and some interior shots of a car like this , here is a link to a web page for a gander .

The car behind under wraps I think is a Ford Gallaxie 500 .
And for Sight & Sound - time to Go Your Own Way !!
Getting a bit experimental here. I have been having a bit of fun with double exposure. Exposing the entire roll twice and seeing what comes of it. I am not actually sure which camera these were exposed on so I will say the EOS 3 because it was the last camera that the film was in haha.

A bit of "industrial art" this week for the Sliders Sunday group. Base image created using a Canon 7D and processed using Photoshop and Quad Pencil.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Bit of a last minute wall... take 2 on the zipper and Block / piece / throw / tag concept...
Not that fussed on this one but was a proper sunny day so all was good!
Green, white and red - perfect colours for the Italian Flag - perfect colours for a great pasta sauce!

I woke up a bit late and looked outside to see the skies were perfect for a
trip to the beach to do some photography. I grabbed the gear and rushed
out the door. It was a cold crisp winter day having recently snowed down
to near sea level in the San Francisco bay. I thought about trying to film
the snow on Mt. Diablo but prefer to shoot the ocean when I can so I pushed
on towards the beaches. Arriving at Half Moon Bay just south of San
Francisco I looked North then South. As often is the case, the vast
majority of the clouds hung over the coastal foothills to the south due to
the cold wet air from the Pacific pushing up and condensing over the
mountains. I continued south to Bean Hollow Beach and picked a nice spot
to wait for sunset. But as time passed so did the clouds and after a
while only a few distant clouds clung to the horizon. That combined with
the strong waxy stench of a rotting blue whale carcass that washed ashore a
few months back persuaded me to push on further south. I had to push back
the urge to stop at Pigeon Point Lighthouse. The lighthouse is a wonderful
subject but I have many shots waiting to be posted. Besides, most of the
clouds were still to the south.
(NOTE: If you'd like to see the lighthouse just view some of the recent
posts in my photostream.)
The sun was getting close to the horizon and it was time to plant it or head
back home. I was at the very northern side of Santa Cruz and decided to
stop and film the rocky bridge at Natural Bridges State Park. It's a
wonderful site film but often crowded with beach goers and surfers who love
to wade out to the rock and make themselves an unwanted subject in your
landscape photography. However the temperature today was barely in the
high 30s and I hoped that this would discourage the usual beach crowd.
Little did I know I'd end up being one of them. The lagoon that feeds in
to the ocean was flowing heavily in to the Pacific from the recent rain and
as my luck would have it the water was flowing in to the ocean on the south
end of the beach meaning it was time to get wet. There were a number of
other photographers already setting up along the surf and I refused to miss
my chance. The creek often flows in to the north side of the beach so I
had left my water shoes in the car. Throwing my tennies over my shoulder I
waded in to the icy water letting out a fairly loud yelp as the water went
halfway to my knees. It would turn out that the ocean was warmer than the
sand so I spent the rest of the evening filming the sunset in my bare feet
as the tides washed in over my deep blue toes. By the time I was done I
could barely feel my feet. (Note to self, buy some fishing waders)
Nothing feels so good as to put the heater on full, crack the moon roof and
let the hot air flow over your freezing toes. But in the end, I think it
was worth it. I met some fellow photographers and had a good time filming
the bridge.
If you enjoy the shot, and have read this far, do me a favor and drop me a
comment below.
