A sun dappled and somewhat atmospheric woodland scene at Kennal Vale which lies midway between Redruth and Falmouth. Better known for its historical position as a gunpowder manufacturing site catering for the mining industry, the woods now offer a pleasant woodland walk among the old ruins and babbling brook.
I saw this in Derbyshire. We went to find rhododendrons - not out then! But we did see curlews, a hare, a jay, bluebells, broom, fields white with dandelions and a few benches. I like the dappled light on this one and the green shades.
Mother keeping a very close eye on me. Have to say it was pretty neat encounter but a little unnerving at the same time because I have never really experienced a deer this close.
This was from my 1st outing with the Canon EOS-R and the brand new 800mm F11 that I picked-up over the summer. Since things were pretty much shut-down, I had tried a few excursions with various DLSR's and lens combos. Many scoffed at this particular lens and felt the aperture was not useful. I admit it took most of the fall to test, adjust settings, technique, and editing process to get results I was happy with. I had nothing better to do anyway so learning a new kit and photography genre was not a big deal at all. Cannot emphasize enough how lightweight and effortless this combo is. No strain at all from 4-6 mile hikes carrying this.
Time at the racetrack with heavy gear is one thing; hiking with it is another. I wanted something to do and was really trying to 'like' shooting in nature but I found it unenjoyable carrying all that gear over distances on some rough terrain. I wanted something lightweight to capture birds and general wildlife. This lens and camera saved my sanity last year.
This was taken at Nature Lands Hildacy Farm Preserve about 2 miles from my home. Walk was about a mile or so in. I spotted a family of deer lounging in a field and decided to just enjoy the moment and watch them. They began to move and went to a field to graze. With the setting sun behind me, I crept as close as I could. Mom was showing particular interest in me and would take some steps towards me, never blinking or taking her eyes off of me. I slowly backed away until she felt comfortable with my distance. Definitely a cool encounter.
Shot on a misty morning in May 2022, luckily the mist started to clear and a break in the cloud afforded dappled light across the landscape. This was shot using a Sony A7Rii.
EXPLORE 195 ...... many thanks :) :) :)
Hello to all my dear friends and I hope that I find you well. Sorry that I have not been on Flickr over the last 8 weeks or so but I have had to focus on some health problems within my family which has taken up lots of my time. I know that I will have missed many wonderful photographs and that I will only be able to comment on a few so bare with me as I catch up over the next few days.

We had the most beautiful day walking the loop at Swallow Falls. After torrential rains on Friday, all the falls were running quite full.

Dappled light on the slabs at the head of Tenaya Canyon, Yosemite. Just a trickle in Tenaya Creek this late in the season.
There were at least three other red deer stags close by in the forest bellowing in response to this one protecting his hinds...
There are a few places on the Lower Loop trail where you walk under overhanging rocks - and hope nothing shifts!
I wonder how many people will find the light in this portrait as interesting as I do. There's nothing like a perfectly lit face but lighting like this , for me its a winner everytime.
The other photo that I uploaded today I titled Dappled Light.... but could this also be considered dappled light? Do you have a preference, one over the other? LOL Either way, HFF!
My zoo membership is expiring in early August, so I wanted to get the most out of it and went to the Zoo on a random Tuesday to avoid the crowds. Most people, I assume, come to the zoo to see the animals, but I mostly come to see plants. This time it was just me and my camera and I honestly paid almost no attention to the animals. Except for flamingos , a lama who happened to be next to the flowers I was photographing and the duck who was trying to eat some bread in the lunch area, I took no pictures of any other animals. Plants on the other hand, is another story. :-)
This time I brought Pentacon 50 with me. :-) This image was taken at my favorite place in the San Diego Zoo called the Fern Forrest. If you come at the right time, the dappled light there is amazing.

On Saturdays I spend the day with Mum and walk Ross in the woods there. Its a lovely weekend, summer has arrived at last!
A woodland area near Norsworthy Bridge in the Burrator area of the Dartmoor National Park. This is alongside the stream known as Newleycombe Lake.
I loved the dappled light and how it lit up the moss on the rocks and leaves on the trees.
Almost had the forest to myself that afternoon, bar one poor little women being DRAGGED around by her 3 year old Irish Wolf Hound...it was a severe miss match...Plus a small group of hiker who asked me for direction...Big mistake...if they'd only known my track record they'd never had asked.....Which reminds me...when l was a student back in the 70's...l was stopped by some guy in a very expensive car in the centre of Birmingham, who asked me if l knew such and such place in the City...so l naturally said (being the Good Samaritan I am.) I said "Oh Yes." and promptly gave him detailed direction to the heart of Spagetti Junction...l often keep an eye out for him as l drive through it. :-)
SORRY...I shall stop posting these boring shot soon and get back some mindless stuff very soon.

▶ Geographical notes:
☞ As seen on the purple-blazed Three Creeks Trail: one in a "labyrinth of soft-surfaced trails" in and around a 120-acre suburban Piedmont forest located in three Atlanta, Georgia-metropolitan-area DeKalb County parks: Mason Mill Park, Medlock Park, and Melton Park.
☞ The three creeks of the trail's name are Glenn Creek, Burnt Fork Creek, and South Fork Peachtree Creek. The wildflowers lie in wetlands of the third.

It's been a long time. Hope you are all doing well in these strange times. Sending you some sunshine and good wishes.

A summer sunset bathes the roof of an old horse barn at a McLeod County Minnesota farm with dappled warm rays. The venerable structure once housed many proud steeds over the years but is now used as the family storage shed.
A unique perspective of Sugarloaf Mountain in the Eastern Hudson Highlands captured from North Point on Crow's Nest Mountain.
With the skies dominated by cloud, the sun broke through and lit the Eastern Highlands only for a brief moment. Compressing the scene with a long lens emphasized the dramatic scale of the Highlands in relation to the northern surroundings.
