All of these were taken yesterday using Sony's Clear Image Zoom (2X) , which provides a digital zoom in camera, while maintaining the pixel count( but only when shooting jpgs!) I coupled this with a 1.4 TC. After shooting yesterday I was disappointed, but I think a big part of my problem was that I was trying to process these images as if they were RAW. Bad idea. All of these images were only slightly adjusted for global exposure, not my usual rigamarole. As long as I don't crop too much, I was pleased. Today I went out to shoot the same subjects using RAW only, and my 2X TC. I found that if I had to crop too much, I could use an up-rez program to increase pixel size, something I can't do with CIZ, and things look good. I'll post those images later, however, my intent now is to try shooting jpg with my 2X TC AND CIZ for a double whammy. I'm really optimistic! In any case, let me know what you think of these 5 images, good and bad. Thank you!
Two local inshore fishing boats tied up at the quayside at Scarborough harbour, Optimistic and Enterprise at dusk on Thursday evening.
I had purposely gone to the harbour to get some sunset shots as the sky had been a very vibrant orange on the previous evening but as usual I did not have a camera on my person only my iphone and while I got off a couple of shots I wasn't happy with the images and so made the trip down again the following evening.But the sky was nowhere near as vibrant though I was quite happy with a couple of my results.
Thanks for taking the time to view this and other images in my photo stream.
The optimistic home builder......
Black-headed gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) are small, sociable gulls commonly found across the UK, recognizable by their chocolate-brown breeding heads and noisy, gregarious behavior.

I had planned to post a forward-looking optimistic post to anticipate the New Years celebration. However my community was visited by a horrific fire today that has put a huge damper on local spirits. A grass fire likely started by a downed power line spread quickly fanned by 80 mph winds into two communities east of Boulder, Superior and Louisville. At least 600 homes and several businesses were quickly consumed, making this the most destructive fire in Colorado history. Additionally a hospital was evacuated, but thankfully was not damaged by the fire. At this time no deaths have been reported, but a thorough evaluation won’t be possible for a few days. Ironically our first major snowstorm is forecast for tomorrow.
This photo is not the Marshall fire described above, but rather is from the 2020 Calwood fire, also in Boulder County. The scene provides a sense of the overpowering nature of fires in an arid landscape, which are becoming a more common occurrence outside of the “fire season,” likely due to climate change.
Greenhouse orchid, never having known anything but optimum conditions, has no reason to be otherwise. Enid a A. Haupt Conservatory, New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx, NYC -- May 21, 2022
I came across this strange scene of an ant pulling on a wing of a healthy sweat bee. Despite of its size, the ant was giving the bee a hard time, because it could not take off.
Himare, Albania, after sunset, single frame version and a complete mosquitofest.
Saying "what a bizarre year" stopped making sense every year since 2019 became more and more bizarre, wishing the best for everyone in 2025, but I'm not optimistic. This will be my final upload in 2024, the next one will be from a "new" country for me, but it will not be a photo taken in that country.
A more optimistic view of rural Ireland than yesterday's photo, though some people see those wind farms as (pardon the pun) 'ass'-inine..... :-)
Historic flood levels have caused terrible devastation in the Fraser Valley but the kindness, cooperation, giving and care shared by the community is truly cause for a positive and optimistic view of things!

Lo splendore di Firenze, unito ad una luce speciale, mi fanno sentire molto ottimista. Sempre e comunque.
Grazie per tutti i gentili commenti alle mie ultime foto!

Florence’s charme, combined with a special light, makes me feel very optimistic. Always and anyway.
Thanks for all your kind comments to my last photos

Restaurant in Reykjavík. It was nighttime, in November, so not even smokers were sitting outside. Some interesting items on the menu, if you zoom in. Traditional Plokkari, anyone?
Over optimistic lights, Vines Winebar isn’t going to open anytime soon unless the world spins a little faster on its axis and COVID-19 evaporates.
This is one of many strategies tried by a cormorant to eat an eel. It was nearly a fatal mistake as just out of shot was a diving gull intent on stealing the eel but the cormorant was too quick for it.
Photographed in Olhão.
Nature's confetti, showering lives with soft petals, each a reminder that joy can bloom even in the prickliest of patches.

I'm optimistic that this will clean up nicely, very nicely in fact! It looks good underneath and I cannot wait to clean it.
Yellow Branch Falls as she appeared on this bright, optimistic, sunny morning Feb 3, 2024. Even though her flow was low, I didn't mind. As for me, she never disappoints. Today I hiked down from above and completely understand why the former trail was decommissioned. It's far too dangerous of a descent for children, the elderly and people lacking hiking experience with careless tendencies. Compared with the existing trail, I found the former trail to be more of a "cut to the chase" excursion. (accepting for today's overgrown and "lack of" trail and the number of downed trees to maneuver over, through and around).The existing "new" trail today offers a beautiful array of mountain ridgeline views as the trail rises and falls along the way. Yellow Branch will always be uniquely special to me because it was one of the first waterfalls, I hiked to and photographed years ago. I have made many captures here and some with the waterfall full to overflowing. This morning, I had her all to myself for about 45 minutes. I hiked back out on the existing trail and met many people hiking in. No doubt, I'll be back many more times. It was such a great beginning for my new 2024 year of adventure hiking to waterfalls🍷🍷💙
