The Colour Is A Bit Shocking But Been Wanting A Smaller Camera To Just Pop In My Pocket When I Go For A Walk. Also Was On Sale Over $100 off the regular price! 8-)
A bit of minimalism today, one of those days that’s so grey the sky is exactly the same colour as the water! As we walked from The Barbican around to The Hoe, I found this nice composition featuring the Mount Batten Breakwater in the foreground, and the Plymouth Breakwater in the distance... I liked how they both came in from opposite sides of the frame and crossed each other.
A bit of Spring, already?
Shot taken in my garden with a macro lens: my very first attempt with that kind of ones.

This is the Chain Reaction RVR-05, a custom LEGO spacecraft.
There’s a construction video on YouTube covering the complete build process.
The model was inspired by the Thunder Force game series. It’s a new evolution playing with design style from the Thunder Force official “RVR” line-up and a lovely RVR-03 concept by Sparrow S.A.
It comprises 2110 parts without the stand. All elements are from LEGO. Some shiny bits were chromed. I individually tinted the 21 trans-clear parts making up the canopy because I wanted a green.
68 of these elements are the new-for-2025 "plate 1x1 round with bottom clip" (ID 5264). The part is a revelation! It unlocked tight angles in the tail, a new engine design, off-grid placement of facets, and more.
Additional photos for Chain Reaction are at galacticplastics.com. In the future I hope to share a cleaned-up digital model file and parts inventory covering the ship and stand.
I caught this cardinal, a bit off gaurd, but when he heard the click, he fled away ....
We sure hope this mid week, and the frigid cold temps, find you, well safe, and warm ...
This is a 1 1/2” carbon steel crimped wire drill bit. The strong & sharp wires go all around the bit. I got it to rough up some clear acrylic, but it’s mostly used to remove rust. Wound up using a metal flat-head (slotted) screwdriver to push out some of the spikes for more interest. Don’t use your fingers, as I tried at 1st. Ow. lol.. Happy Macro Monday!
Thank you all for your comments and faves!

Beach at Smith Point, Long Island, USA.
There is nothing more wonderful than seeing a sunrise while on a beach, when the weather is mild enough not to freeze one's bottom. We ware able to enjoy such morning, when the ocean was quite calm (although I would prefer a bit more drama there ;D) and it was relatively warm for this time of year. And we weren't the only ones, though majority seems to have come for fishing rather, than enjoying a view ;D

A bit of reflected light filling in the shadows of these two massive rock formations caught my attention as I waited for the harsh light to soften. Devil's Garden is not really a place that's known for reflected light, but I'll take it!
A bit of an icon and some may say cliche’ photograph is Wanaka’s lonely Willow tree. Submerged under water for most of it’s life the tree appears to float on the lake creating a unique photographic composition. It’s constantly morphing deciduous qualities and the unpredictable lake levels provide a different image year round. The tree is a magnet for swimmers, children, birds and of course photographers! The tree has lost a few limbs over the last few years but I for one hope it survives for many more years to come…
A bit of an adventure on Friday night saw an impromptu trip to Anglesey to photography the Milky Way over Eglwys Cwyfan (St Cwyfan's (Church in the Sea)) and then on to Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber and then on to Penmon Lighthouse for sunrise on the Saturday morning.
The adventure started at 17:00 on the Friday with a challenging drive and race against time to get to the Church before sunset, unfortunately road delays and frustrations of the British road network meant we didn't get to Eglwys Cwyfan until gone 9pm and had missed both the high tide and sunset - I was also plagued with technical difficulties with the camera and lenses all of which are going to have to go in for repair/service this week. So the shots taken were at best guess with focus and composition.
At around 01:00 we moved on to Bryn Celli Ddu, which was just awesome, such a magnificent location, although security lights from a nearby farm either helped or hindered the images to be captured, depends on your perception I suppose.
We again managed to capture the Milky Way and some Aurora activity, the images from that location will follow i'm sure, by 5am we were set-up and waiting for the sunrise to break at Penmon Lighthouse.
The sunrise was actually one of the best ones I have experienced this year made only better by Mark cooking up on the camping stove a couple packs of smoked bacon. A loaf of bread later we set off for home, getting back at 13:00 and for me straight to bed for an 18 hour sleep! - Thankfully no lens caps were lost in the making of the images.
Info:
St Cwyfan's Church is a Grade II*-listed medieval church in Llangadwaladr, Anglesey, Wales. Located on the small tidal island of Cribinau, it is popularly known as the "Church in the Sea"
Felt like a bit of colour today :) Hope you're all having a good weekend :)
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images :)
A bit of an institution - it's been there at least 30 years that I know of, and probably a great deal longer! This is actually an HDR, but hopefully I had to tell you that :-)
This was a bit of an experiment. The sun had set, which would usually mean me putting away the infrared camera, but I wondered, can you shoot infrared after sunset? Indeed you can, as long as there's at least a little light left. The semi-darkness required a long (10 second) exposure which meant that I caught this lovely lightning, but also meant that you can see some of the fantastic movement in the storm. Not an image for storm photography purists, but I sure like it.
In late May/early June 2024 I went storm chasing for the third time. If you'd like, you can read about my trip in the blog post on my website.
You can see all my storm chasing images from my 2017, 2018 and 2024 chases in this album.
Bit of a cold one, taken last year as the Beast from the East hit the area. Was hoping for the same again this year, but it looks like were back to typical british weather.
It's a bit draughty in here - where are my walls? Good thing noone took the roof!
The bubble car got pilfered for rounded slopes
Toy Project Day 875
Another beautiful day in Portugal. A bit chill in Lisbon where European countries sign, today, the Lisbon Treaty. May it be? Have a wonderful day fellow Europeans and everybody else. You can try this, if you don't know what is the Lisbon Treaty.

Not a lot different to my previous shot, but I managed to create a somewhat darker scene, more reminiscent of Gulf War burning Iraqi oilfields than Merseyside dawn
For a moment I thought I could hear a siren coming from Finland.....
A bit of a haunted view of the bright white house in a clear of a forest near Capel Curig. Don't know really why but this picture stirs harrowing emotions in me, even though it was a quite pleasant and happy walking day! :)
It is a bit of a challenge to get into this spot under the Edgewater pier, but its worth the effort. Seeing the old pier supports sticking out of the water surrounding the pier and all these great lines and details. The monochrome treatment really helped the contrast pop, the colors on the underside and the muddy water color made this a less interesting shot.
I can always dream about what he might look like in a few months. Deer are ever-present on the bayou, but they are not noted for standing out in the open when people are around. This would be a handsome buck when the rut arrives in the winter. Photo taken on Armand Bayou. White-tail Deer standing tall at the water’s edge.

this dog looked so cute as he jaunted along....
:-)
nothing really to do with the shot, but I had the pleasure of seeing Jil Aigrot in concert last night...she does many Edith Piaf songs and did much of the singing in the film La Vie En Rose...it felt a bit like being transported back into time...it was wonderful:

This particular hike was a bit of a disaster. Our aim was to climb a nearby 10,000 foot hill by the name of Mount Siyee, but being a visitor and guest in Montana I chose to let my two Montanan pals do the planning. Imagine my surprise when they advised that they didn't have a map and only possessed an old guide book. Never mind the weather was set good for the day so we'd find a way to the summit. Well, their guidebook was forty years out of date and our instructions advised that we should take a left turning up a prominent ridge at the end of a plantation of trees. We did this but weren't aware that two miles of additional trees had been planted up the valley. The result was that our ascent would take us towards the summit of Cracker Peak from where it might have been possible to traverse a high ridge to the summit of Mount Siyee.
This photo of Mike shows him making his descent of the ridge we climbed. Craig had already thrown the towel in on account of the terrible loose rock we had to contend with, so Mike and I continued on up the crumbling mountain. We scaled the ridge seen here and then reached a ridiculously steep snow slope. Mike called it a day and left me suffering from a combination of summit fever and frustration at their lack of planning. I continued and made good progress to an island in the snow before finally realising that there was a huge snow slope just waiting to carry me away to a certain inevitable end. I saw sense gingerly made my way back to Mike and then we descended the crumbly strata seen here.
It would be a very long hike back to the road and then a race to catch the last bus back to the summit of Logan Pass where our car was parked.
A bit of beach tumbleweed like thing (spikey flower heads) from the sand dune plants.
Round autumn the spiky seed heads are blown along the beach until they get trapped. Then the sand buries the seed balls which then release its seeds to restart the cycle of growth and dispersion. If the heads are trapped where they become saturated by the tide they breakup and these bits are then carried to other suitable areas to germinate.
Thus ends the lesson.
Taken at Himatangi beach, NZ.
>> Here are more of my beach finds on flickr :-)
The last bit of sun shows just before dipping below the clouds. We got treated to a pretty sunset from above the clouds shortly before landing. The sun seems to do strange optics like this odd reflection thing you see. (see this photo used on the atmospheric optics website: www.atoptics.co.uk/atoptics/smir11.htm )
Note: I recieved this in email, Les hope you don't mind me putting this here:
Hi,
Your 'last bit of the sun' image showing on the sundogs
group is an impressive example of a ducted mock-mirage
sunset.
I have an educational site "Atmospheric Optics" at
Can I show your image in the sunset mirages section please?
www.sundog.clara.co.uk/atoptics/sunmir.htm
You would get full credit (name needed!) in the caption and
you retain all rights.
Thanks
Les
The light was right (if a bit dark), but even with all the fluttering around it did (as you can see by the not-in-focus areas), the darned butterfly would not spread open its wings.
