Here in UK, we are back in lock-down so must stay in our own area and only travel if necessary, so I'm back looking for local photo opportunities.
My local Lone Tree, less than a mile from my home. This is the first time I’ve photographed it (I’ve only lived here 44 years!).
Definitely one I’ll return to as the seasons change.

Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 08/02/2025 - Twisted .
Well these bits of copper wire in different colours look rather straight for the " Twisted " challenge - however , they may be straight but each piece is made up of between two to five different coloured strands of wire . In the bottom left is part of the crank that is turned with the required number of pieces of wire and within seconds there is a twisted wire of varying colours ready for use in making jewellery , art pieces or whatever .
And for music while you twist --------

After being shut out the night before by a stubborn storm that refused to break up over Jasper National Park, we had our fingers crossed as we headed back to Maligne Lake the following morning. We all seemed pretty happy with our blue hour shots, but as sunrise approached, it really began to look like we might not see the sun at all that day. I think we had all resigned ourselves to the fact that we were looking at another completely gray day when I glanced up an noticed the faintest wisp of pink on one of the clouds. Sure enough, the sun broke through just enough to throw some fleeting color across the the clouds that were continuing to roll in from the West. I think Tom and I are the ones in our group who really have a problem standing still during moments like this. Both of us went off in all directions at once, and both of us had two camera bodies for just such an occasion. Leaving my D800 on the tripod, I took off running with my D750 and cranked up the ISO a bit while I looked for other comps in addition to what I was getting down at the lakeside.
As I was racing back to my spot in front of the boat house, this puddle caught my eye and I spent the next few minutes trying to shoot if from several different angles with the 14-24. There have been times where I have doubted my run and gun approach, but I usually reserve it for situations where I feel like I've got a decent shot on the tripod before setting of to see what I might be missing maybe just a few steps away. If I had stayed camped out where I was I would have missed this particular shot along with quite a few others. We ALL gave in to temptation two nights before when we had a perfectly good view of the late afternoon sun up at the Opabin Prospect, but curiosity got the better of us and we full out RAN back up the trail to get more shots of the larches behind us. So I think there is something to be said for making sure you KEEP MOVING once you believe you have a decent shot...especially when you might only have another few minutes of good light.
This being said, it helps to be able to TRUST the guys who you are shooting next to. Maybe leaving the camera on the tripod while you run like a maniac in all directions should be reserved for those times when you actually know the people around you...or you might not have a camera when you get back. :)

Take them off when you finish with Led Zeppelin Bernie.. .. ... and, don't think that means you can crank up AC/DC either......... what's wrong with some nice peaceful stuff? ....
Why does he have to be stuck in a time warp?...

While I usually use more light than what was available, steady lighting was what was being used for the Lerro 1225 Charter night session. Pushing my camera to ISO 5000 is intense for me, but to get the speed I needed, it did the job. Making the last night pass-by, the 1225 thunders out of the dark into the light past the cleaned up Carland Elevator, creating a scene straight out of 1948.

You put your hands in the air
And you jump off the ground
And then you take that funky butt and you shake it all around
And lightly jog in place and then crank it up to a prance
This is the cool patrol dance…
Early 40's Dodge trucks still had the option of handcranking to start the engine. Not sure if this option carried through the war or not.
