Not sure if using your phone counts - but it’s at least always charged and often the camera I have on me. I did have my main camera with me, but it stayed with the bike as I was carrying the helmet and jacket and didn’t have enough free hands for the extra device.
Having recently got my motorcycle licence at 53, to live the adventure life I headed off on a three day trip leaving from Canberra staying in Orbost, Corryong and then back home via the Kosciuszko National park.
Taken on day two having left Orbost to have breakfast in Lakes Entrance.
The stillness was broken by a wandering swan just out of shot.
I’m probably pushing my luck with the frequency of my posting, but what the heck…
I was sitting at home and noticed a brightening to the west (in an otherwise totally overcast sky) 35 minutes before sunset. I grabbed my camera backpack, jumped in the car and drove 15 minutes across town to a small lake. For a few minutes I thought there would be nothing, as the clouds mostly closed up, but there was a little color about five minutes after sunset. The sun must’ve found an opening.
Hi, last Saturday I tried my hand at using my OM-1 and Pro-capture to photograph birds taking up flight… until I found out that some birds just dive bomb before actually starting to fly…! (Taken in Panama)
I may have skipped that one, or didn’t give it a second thought, but you are quite right that @qmpel’s capture is lovely. If you recall, I submitted a play raw of sunset light on houses and condos from my window, but it just looked like midday…
That is the point of this thread, which has grown to being more than just “taking some photos”. My “just some photos” can’t hold a candle to any of these, which makes me reticent.
