The Beachcomber or ‘Stone Me’ and Others
I have over the years come across a few of these stone characters, and not only confined to the East Coast of England where I found the majority. They have been discovered in The States, France and Kent. A bit of a random order I know. Some have come home with me but in the main I have left them in situ. No stones were harmed in the making of these images and the ones who did come home did it willingly.
There has been a development, I have noticed faces looking at me embedded in other materials. I know, a bit left field. But I thought they needed to be identified. I haven’t yet seen any walls with ears but you never know. Is ‘Big Brother’ still watching?
For some time I walked along the deserted port looking for "Life" when, to my amazement, I saw a small bar made of wood with Mexican decorations and a fish stall. There were some "Mojitos" on the bar, as if they had just been made, but what intrigued me was the absence of people in the place, and it occurred to me that something scared the people who were here and they had to flee.
I was tempted to grab one of those delicious looking "Mojitos" and drink it, as the many days I spent sailing the seas of SL left me with almost no food and drink, but I didn't. I didn't know how long they had been there, what they were made of, or what had happened that they were left on the counter.
The fish in the stall were fresh, as if they had just been caught and put up for sale, but on my approach to the harbor I didn't see any fishing boats, not even when I arrived at the harbor. I thought about picking some fish and leaving some Lindens as payment, but I thought the same way I thought about the "Mojitos" and I didn't after all. There was still a lot of sea to sail home and I could always catch some fish on the boat.
The wind was blowing from the West, and it brought me the smell of freshly cooked food, and due to my gastronomic experience of tasting traditional dishes in the ports where I stopped, my nose "told me" that it was Asian food. Almost at the bottom of the harbor I had seen a mini Snack-Bar with illuminated signs. The smell coming from that place activated my HUNGER sensors, my belly was asking for food... so... I decided to walk towards the Snack-Bar to try to eat something... when... I heard a meow not very far from the place where I was and as I approached the meow became more intense... there was no doubt that there... was life in that place.
To be continued...

Plenty of sensors on this one including those ostentatious radars, a spinny round thing and a non-spinny round thing. All a little overblown?

For example, I said that I was shooting in RAW mainly. True. However, I am just about to reserve one of my cameras for JPEG shots only. This is a JPEG shot done with the old X-Pro1 and a fast Fuji lens. The camera I am preparing for this will be the Fuji X-E2, also an 'old' (second hand) camera, but one with interesting features I am wishing to exploit. In fact, the equally old 16MP sensor is, in my view, one of the best ones Fuji has ever made. We'll see.

This is the first of a series of images taken in showery weather in fields above the Black Forest village of Riedöschingen.
They were taken with a Fuji X10 fixed zoom lens, small sensor camera. This camera was introduced in late 2011.

Posting some old stuff.
At the time I had really good lenses from Pentax, from the so called Limited series. Much better lenses I have today but the camera I had at the time didn't have a very good sensor. This was a 3 second low ISO exposure on a tripod but DR, sharpness is still terrible. Should have done exposure bracketing but that wasn't a feature on that camera.
Went to a local park today at lunch to take a photo of the rushing water contrasted against the frozen water. The long exposure made me realize how dirty my sensor is. Should probably clean that.
I think I'm going to try to do a photo a day. I need to get myself out shooting more.
Day 2 of 365
My new second-hand Sony Alpha 7RIV with my 1970-1980 Canon FE vintage lens :) But I have to deny that the possibility to zoom in and out during MF shots is faster at 7RII - or I didn't find a better option yet :D - maybe, it was more intended to use MF with 7RII than with 7RIV. But it's one reason more to get my 7RII's sensor changed ;)
For the Macro Mondays Theme: "Photography Gear"
WARNING: Don't try this at home!!!
Note: No real harm was done and the sensor and camera survived the (photoshop) experiment without any scratch or (water)damage 😉 Thanks for your concerns...
Thank you very much for your time, faves and comments. It's much appreciated.
Happy Macro Mondays

An airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system is an airborne radar early warning system designed to detect aircraft, ships, vehicles, missiles and other incoming projectiles at long ranges, as well as performing command and control of the battlespace in aerial engagements by informing and directing friendly fighter and attack aircraft. AEW&C units are also used to carry out aerial surveillance over ground and maritime targets, and frequently perform battle management command and control (BMC2). When used at altitude, the radar system on AEW&C aircraft allows the operators to detect, track and prioritize targets and identify friendly aircraft from hostile ones in real-time and from much farther away than ground-based radars.[1] Like ground-based radars, AEW&C systems can be detected and targeted by opposing forces, but due to aircraft mobility and extended sensor range, they are much less vulnerable to counter-attacks than ground systems.[2]
AEW&C aircraft are used for both defensive and offensive air operations, and serve air forces in the same role as what the combat information center is to naval warships, in addition to being a highly mobile and powerful radar platform. So useful and advantageous is it to have such aircraft operating at a high altitude, that some navies also operate AEW&C aircraft for their warships at sea, either coastal- or carrier-based and on both fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms. In the case of the United States Navy, the Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye AEW&C aircraft is assigned to its supercarriers to protect them and augment their onboard command information centers (CICs). The designation "airborne early warning" (AEW) was used for earlier similar aircraft used in the less-demanding radar picket role,[3] such as the Fairey Gannet AEW.3 and Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star, and continues to be used by the RAF for its Sentry AEW1, while AEW&C (airborne early warning and control) emphasizes the command and control capabilities that may not be present on smaller or simpler radar picket aircraft. AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) is the name of the specific system installed in the American Boeing E-3 Sentry and Japanese Boeing E-767 AEW&C airframes, but is often used as a general synonym for AEW&C.[4][5]
General characteristics

Modern AEW&C systems can detect aircraft from up to 400 km (220 nmi) away, well out of range of most surface-to-air missiles (SAM). One AEW&C aircraft flying at 9,000 m (30,000 ft) can cover an area of 312,000 km2 (120,000 sq mi). Three such aircraft in overlapping orbits can cover the whole of Central Europe.[6] AEW&C system indicates close and far proximity range on threats and targets, help extend the range of their sensors, and make offensive aircraft harder to track by avoiding the need for them to keep their own radar active, which the enemy can detect. Systems also communicate with friendly aircraft, vectoring fighters towards hostile aircraft or any unidentified flying object (UFO).
This is (the upper floor) of one of two churches of a small semi-alpine village, counting just over 1K inhabitants.
Initially erected in 1414, but later in part rebuild a number of times due to earthquakes, fires and storms and located in a remote, very rural area it still has it all, iconography in gold, oil paintings causally sitting on the floor, rugs, books laying around, even a small organ.
This was mid summer and afternoon, a couple of years ago, very hot outside and I was surprised that the church was even open. I'm not religious and certainly not in favour of ideology generally, but I grew into liking churches, if nothing else but for their historic significance.
Entering was a weirdly intense experience somehow, it was cool inside and felt kind of private; it was obvious that there is literally nothing going on, no mass no tourists no nothing, and the traditional tiled stained glass windows bathed the inside in a warm soft light creating beautiful shadows along the arched sides and ceiling.
I really like how these turned out in the equirectangular projection, and that's why I didn't add the respective tag for Flickr to make it interactive. (Well, Flickr does it anyway :|, ..c'est la vie.)
It was a truly special atmosphere and the silence was magnificent, so I did take my time to enjoy just that (after the panorama work).
Technically this is complete spherical panorama, consisting of 12 individual photos and a equirectangular projection yielded 10580 x 5290px, ~56MP. And I again did it with f/3.5, not sure why, except for one reason, which isn't really a good or necessariy one.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
If your going to attempt long exposure photography, you must make sure your sensor is clean, otherwise it will show every little speck of dust or dirt.
The image above had so many sensor spots I simply gave up, I had to crop the sky as that area had a lot and even using Lightrooms spot removal didn’t really help matters. It could have been quite a nice photo too. I’m no expert but I think different apertures show up sensor spots differently, maybe somebody could enlighten me in comments. So if you are going to attempt long exposure photography, especially if the scene is quite minimal as it is in this photo, check your sensor and if needed give it a good clean, it’s better to do that than faffing about later on the computer.
Btw, the photo was taken on the Northumberland coast near Dunstanburgh castle.

We were koming back from a wonderful day out in the kar...and I was trying differents settings on the kamera and shooting to a "there's no words to describe it" sunset... and well .. when i get home... and downloaded the piks.. he or she.. this presence was there.. I never saw it when I took the pik...

When out for a walk today, instead of an X100V, I took my Olympus E-P5 from 2015. It has a 16MP Micro 4/3 sensor, which is supposedly outdated in 2023. Smaller-sensor cameras can still produce good results -- even for prints. A friend of mine has a 20x30 print from a 12MP M43 on his wall, and it looks amazing.
Of course, if someone wants to gift me with a full-frame camera, I am open to the idea. My birthday is in December.
You may have noticed i've not used my Leica M240 much since getting the Leica CL. I thought it was time to dust it off for a shoot. What amazed me after time away from the camera is how bad the low light ability of the M240 sensor is. It felt like the jump from the M8 to the M9 or M9 to the M240. Very noticeable! It shows how good the CL sensor is.
Low light and 1/30 motion blur gave a quite filmic looking photo to my eyes - imperfect. Fun catching up with Becca tonight after a long time.

We went on an overnight trip down to Atlanta. Attending the Industrial Nation presents Cold Waves 2025 at The Masquerade (Hell ). Bands on the line-up were: Lead Into Gold, Clock DVA and Front Line Assembly. We stayed at Aloft Downtown Atlanta.
Our dog, Rosey accompanied us on our ATL adventure. On the way down to ATL, we stopped at the Buc-ee's Calhoun location in Adairsville, GA. ( we also stopped again on our way back home ) Once we made it into the city, we checked into our hotel room before the show.
Ended up Ubering over to the venue. Didn't have to wait in line ( much at all ). I got a High Noon seltzer and found a spot in front of the mixing board. They were playing Autechre's Tri Repetae ++ over the PA before the show.
The 1st band to take the stage was Lead Into Gold ( Paul Barker ). Then the 2nd band was Clock DVA. After a short time, Paul Barker came out to the mercy booth and was signing vinyl and posing for selfies. I purchased his latest album, "Knife The Ally" on vinyl and he signed it and my vinyl copy of "Age of Reason" ( his 1st album ) as we chatted. Then we got someone in line to take a couple photos. Then I went back to my spot and watched the rest of Clock DVA's set. I got a 2nd High Noon seltzer and found a closer spot closer to the stage. The last band to perform for the evening was Front Line Assembly. They played a set list of their Wax Trax! era albums. ( even played one of the Cyberaktif track, "Nothing Stays" as their Encore ) After the show, I got an Uber back to the hotel room. We stayed up for a bit and watched The Big Bang Theory on Nick-at-Nite. Got up after 9am, gathered our stuff, and checked out. Got on the road taking a more casual drive. Making a couple pit stops along the way.
