Given a colour modification & slight blur, the loft conversion continues to be a very popular way of extending the living space in houses.
No matter where I have lived, I have always gravitated to the birds of prey ... the raptors. To me, there's something fascinating about their beaks, their wings, the look of concentration and determination, but mainly their talons. When a raptor flies over me, especially when they bank and show off their underside, or topside, of their body, it's so cool. Red-tailed hawks are the most variable of all of the buteos, depending on where they are found and also their color morphs. Of course, don't forget how their feather patterns change as they molt. It really makes a challenge for species specific ID.
I could raptor all day long and be happy ... we get all sorts of raptors visiting us throughout the winter and some visit during the summer.
This red-tailed hawk flew over me at a relatively close range (though this image is most likely cropped some for balance). The extended wingspan was amazing to view, with every feather serving a purpose. Love these raptors.
Happy Monday!

Canon EF 4/70-200L (Non-IS)) with 3 stacked Kenko extension tubes. The good old EF Zoom turned out to be a cool Macro. The distance to the object was about 50cm.
Fascinating concertina extension service cables for one side of a moveable pair of buildings (on tracks) that services airplane wings. The top one for compressed air is broken, while the bottom one for electricity is intact.

Candid eye contact street photography from Barnsley, England. Carrying a box of human hair extensions, it looks to me like she is the 'wig shop' store owner from up the alleyway. Enjoy!

Here we see a Route 215 pass it's usual terminus (a Route 379 is just entering the stand), and head the few hundred meters outside London into Essex for the seasonal extension to Lea Valley Campsite. The back of the Essex boundary sign can just be seen on the far left.
It's a rotten journey on foot as the pavements end, and it is a set of bends with ditches and little room for walking on a very busy road.

As always thank you for your lovely comments.

For me, I enjoy finding a mushroom emerging from the lush moss and weeds, especially when I have a longish lens. Using it with an extension tube creates a soft, mystical look, capturing the scene's ethereal beauty. The interplay of textures - the infocused mushroom cap, the fuzzy moss, the tangled weeds - makes for a visually striking composition, well, to me. I find it necessary to adjust the EV.
Built in 1912, the neoclassical Main Building incorporating Loke Yew Hall is the founding building of the University of Hong Kong. Designed by L&O, the Building is an imposing institutional structure built to last. It is spacious, well-proportioned, supported by granite colonnades in the Renaissance style, and surmounted by a tall tower and four turrets, with a great hall and four internal courtyards, two of which have palm trees over 9m tall. The original design of the building provided for a large extension, which was carried out in 1952 in the original style and an extra floor was added in 1958, funded by the grants from the Government. The building is now a preserved historical building and the exterior is one of the declared monuments in Hong Kong. Source L & O Architects.
Decided that I liked the wide crop better for this photo. I usually do 8x10 crops for instagram, but I really dislike the way a lot of them turn out. Especially since I usually compose my photos in camera at full frame (3x2) anyway.

A wonderful symphony of colour, light and bokeh rendering from the classic Pentacon lens. Image taken on a Canon EOS 5D Mark 3 DSLR coupled to a vintage German M42 Pentacon M42 30/3.5 lens with a 9mm M42 extension tube attached. A third party M42 to EOS adapter incorporated. Image shot wide-open and hand-held, with a touch of fill-flash. Apart from RAW conversion and the most basic of editing, image shot as is.
I love my Pentacon.
