Saturday afternoon motorbike ride and I caught this sight and had to do a U turn.
Once again, mobile phone with edits done in Snapseed.
This is the main Tidbinbilla Tracking Station dish.
I really should bring my camera along with me on these rides, but as it turns out these days when I’m out on the motorbike I often don’t take the most direct route home.
A few more from me. This was my first trip shooting with a prime lens, I really liked the constraint of being forced to move on my feet to adjust framing.
Particularly like the blue hour shot - very nice!
It was preview night for the Enchanted Forest last night, Pitlochry residents got in free.
Difficult to take pictures that don’t just steal from the light show
But a few were possible:
Went shooting with the club, ‘Geometry in the city’. The photos were taken at a university campus (Student Village, Science City ETH Zürich). I didn’t expect anything (I normally don’t photograph architecture, and I only had my old LX7), but am quite happy with these:
You know what I usually photograph on the way home: the banks of the Limmat. So, now I have something different: clouds.
Dramatic clouds. Hopefully they’re not going to dump too much flood rain.
…and trains. Love the railways!
Got permission to go and check out an old film set near one of our jobsites today. Finished up early and jumped at the chance.
I’ll have to confirm, but I may have permission to go and shoot here at my convenience… Which is great because I’d like to see it in all the different conditions.
I’ll get some more edits up soon… This one is just raw processed and edited in Snapseed.
Time to make a Capture Challenge II ?
There is one, [Capture Challenge] People without people, but it hasn’t seen new posts lately.
Thanks to some neighbor that allowed thistles to grow unchecked on their property, we had a thistle invade our patch of Echinacea. It tried to blend in, but the purple wasn’t quite the same. We decided to keep it around for a while as a photo subject (getting rid of any past their prime blooms before they could go to seed), and the bees loved it. They abandoned the Echinacea and battled for the thistle blooms. It was a treat to have something to shoot right outside the house…getting some use of the camera when there’s only 15-20 spare minutes…
Thank you. It was a lucky shot, I had just sat down for dinner and this was view!
I’m torn between whether this is art that comforts the disturbed, or disturbs the comfortable.
