It seems the flip top is a popular subject and I'll bet there will be a few posted today. I generally try to avoid those kind of subjects but I haven't seen that many with the Grolsch green glass. That being said here's my take on the subject. And for all the posters of these flip top bottles, thanks for the inspiration! The height is 2.25 in. and I adjusted the spacing to keep under the 3 in. rule. I checked this by comparing the actual height to the screen size according to the equation (2.25/6.75 = X/8.75), X=2.91.

A calm (for a change) Loch Lomond.
6-exp HDR (-2½ EV to +2½ EV @ 1 EV spacing). This was a bit of an experiment, being my first HDR with doubled-up blasts of 3 bracketed exposures, and was a blend (using layer masks) between 2 separately tone-mapped HDRs (one for the sky/background and one for the foreground rocks).
The sky could have been a bit better (blame Big G) and the ghosted reflections at the base of the rocks are undesirable but there was nothing much I could do about them. We live and learn ..
The Initiation Wells (AKA initiatic wells or inverted towers) are two wells on the property that better resemble underground towers lined with stairs. These wells never served as water sources. Instead, they were used for ceremonial purposes that included Tarot initiation rites. The tunnels described above connect these wells to one another, in addition to various caves and other monuments located around the park. Of the two wells, the larger one contains a 27-meter spiral staircase with several small landings. The spacing of these landings, combined with the number of steps in the stairs, are linked to Tarot mysticism. The smaller well contains straight stairs that connect a series of ring-shaped floors to one another.[2] This well is also called the 'Unfinished Well'. - Wikipedia
I positioned myself and waited for a couple hours to photograph this rarity Hummingbird for our area. I had just enough spacing in the frame when it finally landed. It showed only a couple times in that window. I was very lucky. :) Click for large version.

Zoom in to view the odd spacing and sizing of windows on the rear left hand side of Trident 3Bs. The fourth and sixth windows from the rear were smaller-sized than the others!
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Den Haag, Kunstmuseum, Staircase, Wall Drawing no. 373 (Soll Lewitt) (uncut)
A part of Soll LeWit's Wall Drawing number 373: Lines in Four Directions (equal spacing on an unequal wall) covers the iconic grand staircase of The Kunstmuseum Den Haag (Formerly the Gemeente museum (Municipal Art museum, (1935 H.P. Berlage).
Shown here is not the entire Le Witt graphic. The museum states the following about him and the giant Wall drawing:
Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) is one of the founders of conceptual art and American Minimal Art. Minimal art aims to establish a relationship with the immediate environment using the simplest possible means. In doing so, the artist prefers to use simple, possibly found materials. LeWitt's wall drawings and sculptures are world-famous, as is his radical view that an idea for a work of art is more important than its execution. For example, he designs his wall drawings himself but has them executed by a team of assistants. In the 1960s, this conceptual thinking was a direct break with the past and an attack on the age-old principle of the artist as an individual genius.
In 1983, the museum acquired Wall drawing no. 373 by LeWitt. The drawing consists of parallel black and grey stripes. The diagonal and vertical lines run in four different directions and emphasize the height of the staircase in the Berlage building. In the spirit of conceptual art, LeWitt draws a diagram with instructions and leaves the execution to his assistants. Not the artist but his team travels to the destination to create the wall drawing: comparable to an architect who never actually executes a building himself. LeWitt created the design after receiving the technical specifications of the wall where his artwork was to be placed, along with photos and floor plans. He relies entirely on his team for the execution.
The artist also makes a certificate for the buyer of the work in which he records the idea for the drawing. This makes it possible to re-execute the drawing later. If the wall drawing itself disappears, for example, through overpainting, the artwork still exists as an idea on paper. This wall drawing was restored in 2000 after it had been painted over during the renovation of the building. In gratitude for the restoration, the artist donated a new series of wall drawings to the museum.
Sol LeWitt and the Kunstmuseum have a long history together. In 1968, the museum organized the first Minimal Art exhibition in Europe. Two years later, LeWitt's first solo museum exhibition in Europe followed. Since then, various works by the artist have been added to the museum collection. Examples include the five geometric shapes on the façade of KM21 and the murals in the hall of the Kunstmuseum.
Sol Le Witt's Wall Drawing No 1084 at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, in its dynamic social context, is here.
This is number 308 of the Museum album and 1583 of Minimalism / explicit Graphism.
this was taken in front of the Abbey di San Galgano which is a lovely ruin. It was a wonderful visit quite deserted I just wish it was sunnier and I could have gotten better shots(oh well ...)

"Hey, a little spacing over here, huh?
Another shot from the annual Monarch migration that occurs every September on the shores of Lake Erie. These amazing butterflies will travel 3000 miles when it's all said and done.
I did not climb the steps as I was not staying at the hotel. There is a public access point out of the view of the photo that is tricky to walk spacing wise but there is not the 98 steps down. that way.
The spacing between holes is 1 half-inch or 1.25 centimeters. This grater has a different size and shapes of the holes on all four sides. It is one of the most useful and fun to use cooking tools I have ever used. It is a new version of my Mother's grater. My Mother, my Grandmother, and Julia Child taught me how to cook and bake.

Canada Geese mate for life and pairs remain together throughout the year.
During spring, pairs break out from flocks and begin defending territories. Spacing of these pairs is variable and depends on availability of nest sites and population density; where population is large, even after a great many fights birds may end up nesting in view of one another, and some populations are semi-colonial.
Female selects nest site, builds nest, and incubates eggs. She may brood goslings in cold, wet, or windy weather and while they’re sleeping for first week after hatching. Male guards the nest while female incubates.
Soon after they hatch, goslings begin pecking at small objects, and spend most of their time sleeping and feeding. They remain with their parents constantly, though sometimes “gang broods” form, especially in more southern latitudes. These can include at least two broods, and sometimes five or more, that travel, feed, and loaf together, accompanied by at least one adult.
Young often remain with their parents for their entire first year, especially in the larger subspecies. As summer wanes birds become more social; they may gather in large numbers at food sources; where food is limited and patchy, may compete with displays and fights.

Continuing Frame Spacing issues. Sent this back off to David Odess for repair.
This little build grew out of the desire to try out SuperHardcoreDave's cool missile nose cone design.
It ended up being fairly realistic, which is unusual for me. It even has a NOTAR system and landing gear.

Shot at Battery Point Portishead and these two ladies (social distancing) are discussing the weather and what sort of clouds are in the sky over Wales and the Bristol Channel.
Note the social spacing, are they good? You better believe it!
People love to share photos on social media of crowded-looking beaches, which make it seem like people are not following Covid spacing guidelines. Those pics are usually taken at ground level and with a high zoom, which are photographer tricks to make scenes look more crowded. Indeed, if this photo were taken at ground level, it would have looked densely populated, even though families are 20+ feet apart. I'm sure some beaches really are crowded, but not this one -- Rodeo Beach, California.

Shot/used for a Facebook challenge with the theme "Distance/Spacing".
Seen on a walk in a nearby forrest/hilly area known locally as Sir Lyngbjerg, near Holstebro, Denmark - March 19, 2020.
A shot taken on my last trip to London a few weeks ago. This is one of my favourite shooting locations in London. It is at the Poplar Docklands Light Railway next to the Canary Wharf Financial District. It was a beautiful day with clear blue skies and I timed my arrival for a low sun to gain the shadows in the scene. The bridge connects platforms and is very popular with Photographers.
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Samyang 8mm Fisheye lens. 3 raw images 2EV spacing processed with Photomatix Fusion Real Estate setting for a natural look. a little Noise was removed with Nik Define. Then I used Topaz Clarity and then a brightness adjustment layer for selective reduction of highlights with a layer mask. Mono conversion was done with Topaz B&W Effects. Crop to remove a distracting door on the right edge.

This was another one taken on my last London visit late November. This was a trip I organised and led for the Bognor Regis Camera Club. This was called London Architecture and Night Photography and 12 took part. I had discovered this high viewpoint when researching the remains of the City Pedway or high pedestrian walkways. One of these leads from Monument to the River Bank to this public viewpoint with views of both London Bridge and Tower Bridge. It is also accessed via concrete stairs from the Thames Path a short way east of London Bridge
I think this image really demonstrates how a city comes alive at night with the lights, reflections and colour. This was especially so on this day when daylight was thick cloud and very flat light. There was some more interest with the bus light trails going across the bridge. Looking at the fastest exposure of the 3 taken for HDR there were 3 buses going across the bridge. For the longer 0EV image the buses had blurred together. When processing for HDR in Photomatix I selected the top of the bridge as an area having movement and directed the software to use the 0EV image for that area when blending the 3 images.
The picture was taken with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 zoom at 13mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing for HDR. The picture was enhanced with HDR processing using contrast optimiser setting in Photomatix for a natural look; Topaz clarit was used for more detail and then Topaz Denoise. In Photoshop Edit-Transform- Distort was used to straighten the Shard and other buildings which were in the original leaning over due to the wide angle and perspective distortion cause by the cameras upward angle. The building on the left of the bridge didn’t look quite right still so I selected it to apply the edit only to that part and then used Transform – Skew to correct it. 2 cranes were removed with the heal and clone tools just because I hate cranes

I took this last December but did not get round to finishing processing. This is a tunnel leading from Kings Cross Underground station down to the Northern Line platforms. The tunnel is noticeable for the futuristic ceiling and bright blue rails. Kings Cross is a major interchange with the mainline Station on the surface and below ground the tunnels of the Circle, Victoria, Piccadilly and Northern Lines. I spent possibly 5 minutes there taking pictures and waiting for quiet times. My aim was to get one person there coming towards me. I got lucky with a man looking hippie like wearing headphones and dark glasses.
The picture was handheld with a little support from the railings. Taken with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 zoom at 10mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing for HDR. Then the image was processed in Photomatix using contrast optimizer for a more natural look. Processing in Photoshop then started with Topaz Clarity and Topaz DeNoise. Then the Transform warp tool was used to straighten out the image. Some brightness adjustments were done with layer masks.
