Great atmospheric shot. All paying homage.

I like this 'nothing special' shot. The interplay of shadow on the windows looks worthy of more exploration.
What a fantastic set. The landscape colours at this time of year are just fabulous, perfectly caught here. I'm envious of the detail that you pull out of these files, but there's no way I would be carrying that gear.
Dancing Magnolia petals
I really like the way Woodsider managed to capture the wind blowing some daffodils in a forest in one of her recent posts.
I thought I'd try something similar in my garden, and found it to be more difficult than it seemed !!
Here's my first attempt but I definitely need to try it again.
On that day the sky was quite dark and the sunlight was sometimes shining on the white petals of the Stella Magnolia, really making them stand out nicely.
Here's the first shot with almost no wind.
but when the gusts came, it took those petals on a wild dance
Does it work for you as it is ?
For the next attempt, I'll try and get something more solid and unmoving in the image as well, so you can see that it's the wind that's blowing the petals and not just a blurry shot ;-)
I'll also try with some ND filters to get the shutter speed down more easily
I'd have liked more time to get work on camera settings here but got dragged away by the family. A quick grab shot which, despite needing a faster shutter speed and a longer lens (heavily cropped), still captured their athleticism. Thailand.
"Got dragged away by the family". Something every photographer has experienced!
Like the way you caught peak action in this shot.
The first nine weeks of my retirement has been very busy. The first two of these I took during a recent camping trip with my Camera Club. The last one is a composite from my trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway last fall.
I like this one very much. The red pinpricks drew me to this one.
Return of The King
There was a short lived spell of fog early one morning this week and despite my current misgivings about bothering to get out of bed, I managed to force myself up and out of the house in time to drive up to Lead Mines Clough and grab a few shots in the woods before it dispersed. Of course, once I was out and about, the fog disappeared quite quickly, but I did manage to grab this shot that I quite like of the tree I labelled as "King of The Hill" in last weeks set.
Taken with the GFX100 + 32-64 f/4.0 on a tripod. Processed from a single raw file in Capture One Pro 23.
Yes, majestic comes to mind, with this shot
Foggy morning encounter
Last sunday when I walked on foggy coast I saw something moving on washed to shore seaweed. At first I thought that it was crow, but when I checked through my camera then I saw small critter instead. When it got nearer then I realized that it was mink, american mink. It is invasive specie, pushing native european mink out. Only on second biggest island here american mink was hunted out and european mink from zoo reintroduced, so there is at least one place where native mink lives in nature. Anyway, it came quite close, maybe to 20 meters, without realizing me standing there. After it saw me, it seemed to evaluate way past me along water line or from land side, but there was walkway where people quite often walked with dogs, so it decided to take chance and finally run along waterline, passing me from distance of 5 meters.
I think I saw same specie (or even same animal) last year in one evening, sitting on the road. But it was dark and from great distance, and all the shots I got were blurry and not in focus, as animal run into bushed soon after I saw it, so I was not quite sure, if it was mink or otter or beaver or some other animal...
Can't be too careful
A lovely sequence, I like the way you seem to give character to the animals you photograph. Something very rare in all the wildlife pictures I see posted.

Sepak Takraw? It's really interesting to see playing it, I've seen it couple of times in tv. Nothing but admiration for skill of players...
Good intel. Didn't know what it was called.
Just a nothing special picture from my trip into the Apennines. It rained for Easter, so just eating and drinking.
The tree's shadow is striking.

Need to see better...
Seems like poor chap has injured one paw.
Invasive or not, it's a cutie. Great catches.

I love this pairing. I'm a fan of autumn colour anyway so an easy target but there's something added by having them side by side.
Did you notice that they were the same trees, just different days/weather?
Yes!
Spring Colours of the Moor
Willows and Bog Myrtle coming into flower.
Fine shot, yellow vs blue.
This one is the most engaging because the eye contact is the most direct.
This is my favorite of these. I've not had much luck with Intentional Camera Movement myself.
My favorite. Similar to one I posted this week.
