"Wait, what?"
I'm showing you what's possible with an old, broken emergency laptop and Gimp (my main computer died) so photography in SL isn't impossible, just more...challenging. I crashed several times trying to take this as my potato objected to the shadows.
Its actually a great week for RPers in SL - Fantasy Fair is now open with many sims to explore. Several of the Engine Room creators are present too.

The trail on the higher zone of the hike ran through the canyon in a very tricky manner.....one can lose the trail easily unless he/she marks the cairns and needs to be very cautious on the scree zones.
However, enjoyed it. Here goes one of the moment !!
Taken in Skazka Canyon (Fairy Tale Canyon) in Kyrgyzstan.
Kwak - Black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax).
Tricky light and angle.
Probably the only one in Groningen.
Grey Heron banking left to fly across Ballyholme Bay. It was quite dark so getting the right mix of iso and shutter speed as tricky. I quite like the subtle movement left in the wingtips.
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) Note how the Nictating Membrane covers and protects the eyes from the pine needles. (View on "Large" for detail)
Another shot from the Rochester Strobist Group meetup at the Rochester skate park.
Probably could have cropped this, but I worked hard to get an exposure that did not blow out the sky, so I want to make sure you get a good view of that sky. You can see the strobe placement in the photo, it is set to full power.
Pompano Beach Pier, Pompano Beach, FL
It's been over a months since I have been out and about... reverting back to my old routine of not going out to shoot it seems. So here's one more from Christmas Day. For a brief moment we got some nice colors in the sky. But they were all overhead to tricky to shoot... unless you like looking straight up.
Another view of Devils Kitchen and Llyn Idwal, Snowdonia during a relatively calm ten minutes or so where the wind dropped to more managable levels. It soon returned to gale force but I managed to get a usuable longer exposure shot before it did.
I love Snowdonia, even before I was into photography it was a place I often visited just because it's so beautiful. Now I do like going out walking AND capture images there are just so many opportunities. I think I need to move there. I wonder if work would pay a relocation bonus if I worked from home (In Wales) remotely thus saving them heat and lighting bills in the office.... not sure I'd get much done with places like this on my doorstep though, maybe I have to hold off until retirement.

Key information
A large and conspicuous waterbird, the cormorant has an almost primitive appearance with its long neck making it appear reptilian. It is often seen standing with its wings held out to dry. Regarded by some as black, sinister and greedy, cormorants are supreme fishers which can bring them into conflict with anglers and they have been persecuted in the past. The UK holds internationally important wintering numbers.
What they eat:
Fish
Measurements:
Length:80-100cm
Wingspan:130-160cm
Weight:2.1-2.5kg
Population:
UK breeding:9,018 pairs
UK wintering:41,000 birds
Identifying features:
This bird species has different identifying features depending on sex/age/season.
Similar birds:
There are two species of the cormorant family which occur in the UK: the cormorant and the shag. They can be tricky to tell apart, especially in the case of young birds.
The cormorant has a stouter, more powerful beak than the shag. The angle of its forehead where it joins the beak is shallower and the yellow skin around the face is more extensive. Cormorants can be found either on the coast or at inland waters, where there are some large breeding colonies.
Shags are birds of the coast. Occasionally, they turn up inland along rivers and lakes, but usually alone (cormorants are often seen in groups inland). The shag's beak is more delicate in comparison to the cormorant's and the forehead angle is steeper. Young birds sometimes show the hint of the adult bird's crest.
Where and when to see them
The cormorant is found around the UK coastline on rocky shores, coastal lagoons and estuaries, it is increasingly being seen inland at reservoirs, lakes and gravel pits.
These nudibranchs are very photogenic but tricky to photograph as they move with the water movement.
Using a home made snoot for my underwater strobe worked really well for nice lighting. Divers here call them blue dragons as they resemble chinese dragons
A flashback to a photo walk along Tower Bridge and a busy rush hour along the bridge.

Very disappointing to find this beautiful beetle in a very tricky spot (on a swaying nettle in a shadowy area---I also really wanted to move that twist of red in front of it, but I knew the beetle would tumble into the undergrowth if I went that close), so this is the best shot I could get.
I think it's either the soldier beetle Cantharis pellucida or Cantharis nigra. Thanks to Rockwolf for narrowing it down to C. pellucida as most likely :D
Taken in the woods at the Wee Glen in Dunlop, East Ayrshire.
... to present as a balanced image, but the intent was not to balance. Is it a BW? Tried that. Crop to? Tried that. It's not a 16x9.
Would it have worked with camera between pipe and goyne? Next time.
But the 10stop ND earned its place in the bag, as does the cable release.
What are your thoughts?
One big boat manoeuvring in front of another... (Leisure 'historic' riverboat Dixie Queen approaching the Tower pier opposite HMS Belfast)
As I walked on my way to Nanjizal I fought the urge to take another capture of Ednys Dodnan, The Armed Knight with the Longships Lighthouse. However, on the way back, I could not fight it any longer. Out with the camera and tripod and planned the composition. A little tricky with a calm sea, so out with the filters, 12 stops in total and unusually for me, composed in portrait.
