The berries are starting to turn red, as autumn approaches.
I'm still checking out the differences with the F/F K-1. Here I wanted to see what the depth of field and noise is like at slightly higher ISO.
Depth of field is nice, and there is certainly less noise than the crop sensor cameras?
The colours straight out of camera are pleasant as well.

This caught my eye when I was just leaving Attenborough Nature Reserve on my way home shortly after viewing sunset. Attenborough Nature reserve is located between Beeston and Long Eaton on the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire border.
"Patton once said that no war is won by dying for your country, but making the other poor dumb bastard die for his. It's really a shame, when we send our own Children to die before us. Isn't it?"
I have lately been getting into the D2 System, for Kitbashing Vehicles. SAC recently had released a new Vector model that I really enjoy so figured why not show off both?
One of the few birch leaves that still has a good amount of green. They really are beautiful and wondrous. They are actually act as lungs for the trees in the summer and let go in the winter after doing their important job of collecting light.
turning 60 is no time to take it easy, this is my wife in action after her 60th birthday, that pack wasn't light and yes it was really steep
So many times
I made this crossing
What would I give
To go back to you
When I revisited this footbridge after many, many years, it was so overwhelming as I felt I was looking back at my past life, which in a way I was. I used to go across this bridge with my family as a child, walking our dogs. It is the way of life that we grow up and our parents pass over, but there are times when the loss of them becomes very acute, catching us unawares. This was one of those occasions, and I could barely press the shutter.

The crew of the 0700 Hamilton Yard Job prepares to head down to Parkdale Warehousing with three boxcars. GP38-2 7524, one of CN's hump service conversions, has been fitted with temporary ditch lights for its venture outside the yard.
Here is another from the way back machine and the caption I wrote long ago back when I posted on railpictures.net.
On a cloudy Sunday afternoon ARR's Palmer Turn (train 140W) can be seen running light engine underneath the CPP (Central Paving Products) gravel tipple located on the nearly two mile long gravel loop track which is located about 2.5 miles up the ARR's Palmer Branch. The crew is using the loop to turn their locomotive (MP15DC 1552) and run around their short train before shoving up to the end of the branch with its loads. Rising to the south is the mighty Chugach Range.
**Note: since the date of this photo much has changed. The MP15s were sold off. The ARR stopped running Palmer Turns and elected to transload the last customer's (JD Steel) freight in Anchorage and pay for trucking. CPP was sold and this gravel pit shut down shipping by rail and the loop was eventually taken out of service. And the outer end of the Palmer branch itself beyond the fairgrounds and the airport spur were also taken out of service leaving only seasonal gravel trains and the 10 or so Fair Train specials to use the branch with it being entirely shut down in winter.
Everything changes...shoot it now.

Against the sunset glow a trio of Coningsby based RAF Typhoon FGR.4's about to turn to run in and break for landing
Definitely one for pressing 'L'

Beautiful in the wood this am, wet and full of colour. One buzzard was my only encounter in 3 hours.
Ezekiel 41:24 “And the doors had two leaves, two turning-leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.”
Turning Torso is a residential skyscraper, located in Malmö on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait, it was built and is owned by Swedish HSB. It is regarded as the first twisted skyscraper in the world.

Yup, Just playing again... This was some Maple leaves that had started to turn and I made a Twirl then used Fractalius2 on that and then a Kaleidoscope.. Decided it was worth keeping so put a frame on it..
Sometimes, you have to force yourself to turn that corner. Sometimes, something forces you to. Sometimes.... You're simply drawn to. You see a glimpse around it, and it intrigues you enough to take your mind off of what's around you long enough to realize... You don't need those weights. You don't need that baggage. You don't need the stress or the pain. That it's okay to shed... It's okay to let go. It's okay... It's okay, to be great. It's okay to feel happy. It's okay to smile. It's okay to feel better. It's okay to breathe.
Thank you.
