Continuing with my personal 50mm challenge. With this lens you fill the frame. Here is a 19th century building with a fascinating facade. Each of these five faces are not exactly the same. And then there are the lion heads and a pigeon sits sentinel at the top.
For some reason I find this shot pleasing. Most of the wooden gates have
now been replaced with less attractive, but more durable, metal
replacements.
Perhaps it reflects myself at present - just been told missed out on a long
desired directorship to an external candidate!
"But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money, comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home (when I come home) well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you..."

I don't practice telefoto landscapes much, but Bryce Canyon NP is the perfect place to use zoom lenses for unique landscapes. There are so many different hoodoos and layers in Bryce that almost every composition will be unique. Here is a shot that I focused on the large brighter hoodoo and noticed some nice layering behind the hoodoo. This is a late afternoon shot as the sunset shots in Bryce are blocked out and there is zero light on the landscape.

Poplar avenues have become rare. These trees are near Egglfing and I often drive there to photograph them.
Pappelalleen sind selten geworden. Diese Bäume stehen in der Nähe von Egglfing und ich fahre öfters hin, um sie zu fotografieren.

Five of the group of fifteen moai of Ahu Tongariki on Easter Island.
You can see more pics (from 2000 and 2013) in my Easter Island set.
From back in August last year. I don’t see many of these, and when I do, it’s usually a momentary glimpse because they move so quickly out of sight.
Here's more information about them:

This is my favorite pine tree (or at least what's left of a pine tree). And it's got a pretty decent view of the landscape as well.

That's one Taeyang, three Pullips, and five Dals! I don't think I'll get another doll anymore, I'm really happy with who I have.
My dolls were all dressed in black and white today and I thought it would be nice to take a picture. It's my first time to attempt a family photo, and it's not easy! I'm going to try taking another group photo, but I don't think I'll do it anytime soon...
Spotted these five on the other side of the Drinking Dragon! They look chilled and dry so I guess they've been out of the water for quite a while. Maybe they're waiting for the tide to come in and float them off!

Five Brown Peilicans. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
Five brown pelicans skim along just above the surf along the California coast on a winter day.
Photographing along this section of California’s coast presents a lot of decisions. Should I focus on winter surf, the haze and clouds, the land-meets-sea landscape, beaches, surfers and beachcombers, wildlife? I usually start out with one or two of these in mind — it was the atmosphere and the waves on this visit — but soon get distracted by the others.
The coastal pelicans are usually spotted gliding along just offshore, heading north or south along the coast. (They do land, but it is less common to find them settled on the ground.) They often fly extremely close to the water — so close that it seems that they are almost touching it as they follow the counters of the rising and falling surf.

Another five photos from my last drive, on 28 April. Harsh light and windy.
On 28 April 2023, I had to go for a day’s drive because everyone had to remove their vehicle out of the parking lot (again!) for the day. We were told to remove by 8:30 am, ready for the guys coming at 9:00 am. Well, the guys who used blowers to remove all the dust and loose gravel, etc. started working at 7:00 am. The painters arrived at 8:30 am, just as I was ready to leave home. The lot was cleaned and the yellow lines between cars were repainted. The whole day was spent driving the roads SW of Calgary, all of them familiar, but a couple only driven a few times.
I very recently decided to buy a new camera, the Canon SX70 HS. I found it concerning that I had been using my Canon SX60 since May 2017 - at least, the earliest photo I can find on my Flickr page was taken on 6 May 2017. The camera has been used a lot! I was very undecided about the Canon SX70, as my daughter has had this camera for quite a long time and finds that the photos tend to be rather blurry. For many months, I have read up about the Canon SX70 and never felt completely happy with everything I read. I have researched other similar cameras and there really isn't anything much out there. I already have the Nikon P900 (totally lousy/useless/ viewfinder) and the Panasonic FZ1000 (far less zoom). Both these cameras are heavy and I need a much lighter camera, especially now because of my damaged right shoulder, which makes holding and using a camera both painful and awkward. Things I read these days seem to say that phone cameras are kind of replacing point-and-shoot cameras and companies are producing very few point-and-shoot models. No telling how long it could be before they stop making them altogether. So, I wanted to be prepared for if/when my faithful and much used Canon SX60 eventually dies.
So, I took both cameras with me, though I did take more shots with the SX60. I can't say that the photos from either camera came out as sharp as I would have liked - very bright out, and windy. Now I have to compare the quality of the images. I found the SX70 a nice, light camera to use, I must say. I had changed a few of the most important (to me) settings, but I’m sure there are others that need checking and tweaking. Some of my Bluebird photos came out better with the SX70. I saw my first Wilson's Snipe of the season and the SX70 did well, as did the SX60, though the colour is very different between the two cameras. I need to compare a lot of images in the next while. The five photos posted this evening have all been edited.
