I used to have a great view of the sunset from my balcony, but after moving homes I need to actually get out of the house in order to take decent photos of the sunset. This has quickly become my favorite spot... 10 minutes by bike from my home (so I really can't complain :-)).
I've been experimenting with some long exposure shots at the lake, but the time in which the sunset is brightly colourful is a bit short for actually changing the settings, plus the darkness doesn't really help.
Practice will hopefully help, until then I'll keep posting some more imperfect shots.
Have a great weekend everybody!
panasonic lumix tz70
this morning i continued to experiment with my new camera. i used the panoramic scene setting for this photo. it's a lovely camera to hold and the weight all ok ... but practise, practise, practise
i had been waiting for a panasonic lumix tz90 but there is a global shortage of point and shoot cameras petapixel.com/2021/10/15/the-camera-industry-is-trapped-d... i was on various waiting lists but no stockist had any idea when it would be available. a panasonic lumix tz70 was in stock last week www.lcegroup.co.uk/New-Equipment-Home/ i bought it rather than have a possible prolonged frustrating wait for the tz90
for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

This little house sparrow shot became the subject of a little experiment on using an online image enlarger. I fed my 12mp image into it and it became something like 16mp. Not a big enlargement by any means. I am not entirely sure that it improves resolution in any way. It is sharp enough for an image from a small sensor camera, but I couldn't see any noticeable improvement on the original, apart from the extra size. But it was interesting to try it out. Perhaps it would work better with a greater enlargement, but the one I used only seemed to allow for trying a 25% enlargement. Sadly, I cannot remember which online enlarger I used, but I don't think I will use it again. I was curious about such things with the recent news of such image enlargers using AI to improve the resolution of older or smaller image files. Also, sadly, I cannot show the original image for comparison as it was deleted accidentally after I made my own comparison! I may try other ones in the future just to see if there are any better ones out there.
This was taken through my lounge window at a distance of 7 metres from my birdbath. Original focal length would have been the 35mm equivalent of around 1800mm. Camera was the Nikon Coolpix P900.
Beads on black. Experimenting to bring up enough light, but not to blow the highlights.
My sister brought some of these beads from Kenya. She enjoyed bartering for them, she said.
I've not shot into the evening sun so directly before, but I did want to see if I could capture the hay and dust stirred up by our neighbor's tractor.
My husband walked down the lane after I began, and weighed in today: he would have shot a more perpendicular angle with fewer or no sun flares, yet still capturing the light. I mention this so that you'll know I'm open to suggestions. (Previous photo link in first comment.)

Thanks for looking and for your fun comments. I think Flickr tagged this one well: "surreal" ;)
The small DSC-RX100M3 performs miracles in the dark, certainly a piece of art of the Sony's technology 😮

Perhaps you will understand that this was initially a dandelion photo.
I'm liking this, however I want to see if can acheive it on paper with oils or tea stain or something... we'll see, nothing like experimenting! :)
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
I've posted shots before of this fountain near me. It's on until 9pm from May to September, and to depict photographically the flow of the water, I've had to shoot it either at night
or at twilight
because I just couldn't get a long enough exposure during the day to capture the flow, not even at f/36!
So this time I tried it with my new 10-stop ND filter, and I like how it came out. I like being able to capture the fountain's flow during broad daylight (this was a 15-second exposure at f/25), and compared to the evening or night shots it's less contrast-y and yet the light is still good. So I think I'm going to stick with this filter for my daytime long-exposure shots.
Actually I want to do some experiment with candle. Suddenly, an idea has been popped up in my mind! Then I did this and took the shoot. It took a lot of time to capture this photo. I didn't get the perfect shot. Finally I captured it.
When it was raining the other day I decided to experiment with a CD disc, water droplets and a torch.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
I've been experimenting a bit again. The lovely Ally gave me a few tips. I wanted too much right away, so I'm starting with the basics and learning how to handle image resolution before experimenting further with my own backgrounds. ^^ About the picture: I'm wearing something more elegant because I rarely wear it in my normal SL life. It's a beautiful dress that Keith gave me, and I treasure it very much.
It's the Siren dress from UTOPIA.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday
Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!
robin not in focus but hopefully will improve
panasonic lumix tz70
this afternoon i continued to experiment with my new camera. i used the scene and macro settings together with the focus lever. it's a lovely camera to hold and the weight all ok ... but practise, practise, practise

Back in the mid-nineties, FEC experimented with a pair of trailer trains numbered 085/086 between Jacksonville, FL and NS Brosnan Yard in Macon, GA via trackage rights on NS. You can see the typical result - two trailers amid a short train of empties. On a brighter note were the handful of GP40's adorned with the old-school FEC emblem and heritage-themed slogan.
Here, FEC train 085 runs south under the very eastern terminus of Interstate 10 in Jacksonville, FL on 16 April 1995, headed for FEC Milepost 0 at the northern end of the St. John's river bridge. In the background is Honeymoon Yard and wye, serving CSX, NS, Conrad Yelvington Aggregates, and a TTX rebuild facility, Beaver Street, and the very top of former Jax Terminal BS Tower behind the line of parked freight cars.
