Sixth image in Bird Art series...
I enjoyed some creative framing here, highlighting the American Robin in an oval design.
I like challenging myself to try new techniques and styles in my photography. It's fulfilling and helps me think outside the box. Maybe it keeps my old brain from turning to mush!
These bare branches of wisteria will burst into beautiful purple flowers in spring, really only a couple of months away now!
We already have an extra hour of daylight each afternoon.....
Here are another picture of the very nice cascades near Soubey (Jura, Switzerland). With all the snow melting above, in the Franches-Montagnes, it was a real flood.
As you can see on this shot, the framing is rather unperfect : the left side is kind of messy and blurry, there's this perspective in the upper right corner that could have been intensified. Moreover, it's not totally at horizon level : all I had to do was to go a little lower with the tripod rotate the camera. That was my first plan.
The problem was : I wore shitty shoes and I stood upon a slippery rock covered with moss. What had to happen happened : I slipped, the tripod slipped and my 100D fall directly in the water in a very nice "sloosh".
Fortunately, it remained in the water less than 5 seconds and the screen was still showing this picture when I removed the battery. It is now in a kilogramme of long grain USA parboiled rice, and will stay there until tomorrow evening. I hope it will manage to dry it completely. I have some hope to save it ...
However, saving the lens would probably be a miracle, but I try anyway with the same trick ... Now I just have to wait, pray and see ...
So I am happy to show you this very last shot of my (maybe) dead buddy. I hope I did not became a photographer without a camera ...

This picture was explored on the 2nd of March 2016 ! Thank you really much for your kind messages !
And now : the end of the story : I tried the camera this morning. The body seem to work perfectly fine. The lens AF and stabilizer work as well, but there's some dirt on the lenses inside, so I'll probably have to make it clean. Then, it's always possible to have some rust on electronic components. I'll see in the future.
So the rice trick works, but I definitely think that what saved my camera is the fact that I removed the battery very quickly. What you don't want is some short-circuits on electronic components that heat and burn after a few seconds (they are small, so it can happen really fast). Without electrical power, much less risk to get damages.
Thank you anyway for your support !

In contrast to my previous post with its warm tones, this image depicts Copperhouse Pool at Hayle during the blue hour. It's just pity that there wasn't a golden hour to go before it, but then again, you can't have everything. I wanted to compose the image with the wharfe-side reflections fully included within the bottom of the frame. I then waited a few minutes until the ripples from passing vessels had settled before triggering this long exposure.
Something a little summery here in the middle of winter...
There was a bed of blue Forget-Me-Nots in the background, giving me this nice backdrop.
I added a radiance filter, then a frame, ending up with the image above.
A view of the Shard on my way home - the clocks changed this weekend for Daylight Saving and I'd spotted this weeks ago but the weather was poor and it was too dark - with an ND filter it has come out okay in early evening.

Small In Frame - It took me a while to come around with the small in frame trend, but I think the switch to mirrorless and going back to using a zoom lens helped me explore and appreciate this type of photography more. The subject/eye autofocus allows me to compose these images real time, no more moving the focus point or focusing and recomposing. With a zoom, I am able to capture a portrait and a wider angle shot from the exact same spot I am standing. This is especially useful for fast subjects like hummingbirds - by the time you move, they are off the perch!
Loved the juxtaposition here of the colorful hummingbird with the dry vegetation.

Like the rest of the campus, deserted these days. Strange and unsettling times.
Be well, all!
