Took this last year in NZ at Lake Wanaka, fairly famous and much photographed tree.
Wanted to give this a faintly japanese look. Hope it came off.
The birds sat in this tree overnight and took off not long after this shot to catch grubs and food i guess :-)
Thanks for looking.

The berries are starting to turn red, as autumn approaches.
I'm still checking out the differences with the F/F K-1. Here I wanted to see what the depth of field and noise is like at slightly higher ISO.
Depth of field is nice, and there is certainly less noise than the crop sensor cameras?
The colours straight out of camera are pleasant as well.

Following an afternoon visit to Robin Hood’s Bay, near Whitby, a mate and I then made the short trip up to Saltwick Bay for a sunset shoot of Black Nab and the wreckage of the Admiral Von Tromp. The visit was planned to coincide with low tide, as access to this spot is very limited, and although we would have loved to stay longer, we had to keep an eye on of the turning tide, to ensure we didn’t get cut off.
This initial image is a more side on shot to the ‘classic’ bow view of the wreck with Black Nab behind. And although we initially had some moody light we did eventually get some light catching on the clouds; images of which I’ll share later😁.
Q241 turns south from west to head for Louisville. KY at Deshler with a pair of C40-8 variants and an SD40-2. A lucky hole in the clouds allowed for a decently lit scene as they pass under the former B&O cantilever here.
The crew of the 0700 Hamilton Yard Job prepares to head down to Parkdale Warehousing with three boxcars. GP38-2 7524, one of CN's hump service conversions, has been fitted with temporary ditch lights for its venture outside the yard.
So many times
I made this crossing
What would I give
To go back to you
When I revisited this footbridge after many, many years, it was so overwhelming as I felt I was looking back at my past life, which in a way I was. I used to go across this bridge with my family as a child, walking our dogs. It is the way of life that we grow up and our parents pass over, but there are times when the loss of them becomes very acute, catching us unawares. This was one of those occasions, and I could barely press the shutter.

The San Juan River canyon below Cedar Mesa (on the right) as viewed from the top of the Honaker trail. The river has cut through multiple limestone and sandstone layers of marine origin deposited around 300 million years ago. Brachiopod fossils are fairly abundant in some of the layers (collectively called the Honaker Trail Formation by geologists).
The Honaker Trail was constructed by Henry Honaker in the 1890’s as a supply route for local mining activity, though unfortunately for Honaker it was deemed too dangerous after a horse fell off and perished when it was first opened. However the trail is still in great shape for hikers, despite some exciting very exposed sections. The similarity of this view to that from Goosenecks State Park is not surprising as this is about 2 miles down-river from the park.

This caught my eye when I was just leaving Attenborough Nature Reserve on my way home shortly after viewing sunset. Attenborough Nature reserve is located between Beeston and Long Eaton on the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire border.
It feels weird that we are having the hottest summer days just as red spots are appearing in the green woods.
