Thanks, Photobygms. I havent seen that movie (I dont have Netfilx), but Donau City Tower 1, or (DC1) as it is called here, is interesting. It has a pendulum, or tuned mass damper inside to keep it stable in case of earthquakes -- which do happen here.

I read the suggestions, concerning where we can best group our weekly thread, from Dunlin, Digirame, Steve T, Simplejoy and Fotoworld. Thanks!
I have no idea what the introduction of tags means or what they would look like, but change here comes slowly, so I dont expect them to be introduced soon.
In the meantime, I reviewed at the list of threads in Photographic Gear>Canon, and our older weekly threads would not be submerged there, as is possible here. Adding this to the fact that, as Steve pointed out, five other weekly threads are similarly placed, and I think that using that area makes a lot of sense.
I will discuss it with Alan. All I have to do is just start the weekly thread in a different folder. I would give you due notice of this.
David
Having thought a little bit more about it, I think I agree. The unique thing in this thread is certainly the Canon focus and so I see no reason why it shouldn't be in the appropriate gear section, like a couple of other similarly brand-focused thread series (or the unfortunately pretty meager "This Month Through Your Adapted Lens" threads) are as well.
I'm sure it can be changed - thanks for checking in with everyone! 👍
Yesterday we had an unusual sunset. These pics have pretty inaccurate WB, but I'm happy with them anyhow. If I get a chance I'll adjust them in post.
I found out my Olympus does WB bracketing, although it does take about 10 seconds to do one photo with all the different WB settings.
Dunlin.
Dunlin,
Nice! With the right combination of clouds we can get those beautiful sunsets. I especially like the second one.
Dunin,
Very cool on the sunsets.
I wouldn't adjust a thing.

Hi David,
That's a stunning view.
Hi Photobygms,
Love the butterfly photo.
Hi fotoword,
That's a super picture of the Hardhead duck. Your Australasian Grebe is very similar to our Little Grebe.
Hi Digirame,
The first and third pictures are beautiful.
Hi fotoword, Thank You.
It's an ancient part of the woodland and all the trees in that part are dead, the wood is gnarled and theres no leaves, I think the birds love that area because of all the bugs living in the fossiled bark.
The ChiffChaffs come over from Scandinavia to summer here although we do now have some residents. The Chaffinches are one of our most abundant birds.
Hi Digirame, Thank You.
It's one of the reasons I haven't bought a Canon EOS R7 because they don't work with the Tamron 150-600mm G1. For now I'll stick with my 7D mkII, the latest software gives me perfectly usable 16,000 ISO images from my 7D mkII so I'm happy with my 'old faithful'.
Hi simplejoy, Thank You.
Hi Dunlin, Thank You.
Hi Dunlin,
Those are beautiful.
Hi Photobygms, Thank You.
Mocha,
Thanks for taking a look at the Lake Tahoe pictures and letting me know your favorites.
I hear you about the Tamron 150-600mm lens...it works great with the Canon T7i (800D) camera that I'm using, so I'm not about to change any time soon from that. I did enjoy my Canon M50 MKII mirrorless cameras I brought with me on vacation; was trying to see if I liked the lighter weight and smaller sizes.
Subject: Fannette Island
Here's Fannette Island at Lake Tahoe. It's the only island at this lake. It was one of the few times I used the Tamron 150-600mm lens.
Photo No. 1 - I start this series showing what I got with the Canon M50 MKII. Fannette Island is in Emerald Bay. It's a beautiful place. Unfortunately it was hazy that day so views of the lake east of here were not very good.
