Two massive Elephant Seal bulls (each weighing 3,000 LBS plus) battle for dominance on a California beach. This fight lasted for several minutes…a rarity for this time of year. Clashes like this take place frequently in November and December as bulls endeavor to establish their turf and collect their harems. By January, most fights are short scuffles, so this lengthy encounter was uncommon.
A few weeks back, James Page and I conducted a brief discussion on posting images that capture a special or important moment but are less than technically perfect. This is one of those images. It was taken handheld from a car window during a heavy drizzle while trying to shoot through the gaps in some roadside fencing. So it’s grainy and funky looking but the moment deserved a post.

Or cultural meeting point. Sarajevo is a beautful town in which the architecture style changes drastically from one corner to the next. In this photo there is a part of the Old Orthodox Church, and a builiding on a main boulevard dating from the times of the Austro-Hungarian occupation.

Clash of birches, in snowfall.
I left a bit of colour, thought it worked well here. Thanks for taking your time and have a nice evening folks.
Sedona is in the transition between autumn and winter during this time of year and the weather system that rolled through over the last couple of days reminded us of that! In this scene an unusually late and colorful autumn display nicely contrasts with the results of an unusually early brush with winter.
Even though the first day of summer is just under two weeks away, fresh heavy wet snow fell in the high country overnight delivering much-needed moisture. Running about 90-minutes late, the westbound California Zephyr rounds the curve approaching Vasquez Road in Winter Park, Colorado, on June 9, 2020 (yes that's the correct date).
For two hours I stood transfixed by dancing clouds as they drifted in and out of these colossal fir trees near Mt Robson, BC.
I don't know about you, but I get a huge kick out of capturing bonus images that I never intended or expected to find.
It's even better when those bonus shots turn out to be way better than the one you're standing around waiting for.
It just goes to show that it pays to have that second camera and ideally a big old telephoto lens.
At 274mm, I had to switch on the optical stabilization of the lens to minimize the camera shake. To free up the shutter button, I used back button auto focus which was assigned to a big button on the back of the camera that I could control with my thumb.
I find it really useful to save these types of camera settings to a C3 custom setting dial on the camera. I can then instantly recall these lesser used settings with the turn of a dial giving me more time to capture the moment and less time faffing around with camera settings.
Thanks for looking

Still weird to see Macs on Metra. Here we see a UP line train crossing over the Milwaukee Road In downtown Chicago
A sea of colorful night-market tents in an ocean of grey concrete. That's Bangkok in 2020 for you! Well... one aspect of it. There is quite a bit more to this city. Not all pleasant though. But always exciting. And if you wait until dusk for the lights to turn on, it might actually look quite beautiful.

Red Kite vs Buzzard...who were soon also mixed up with a juvenile White Tailed Eagle...I missed that shot! But great to see nonetheless. Not that many years back a sight like this would have been impossible to imagine in our British skies 😃
Perfectly timed capture of the sun clashing with the Shard. I hope I can get a better capture in the coming days Thank you all for your appreciation.
