[Capture Challenge] Charge your battery and take some photos

Nice ! The color association/contrast is lovely and the 45° of the twigs/weeds across the frame is cool. I like it :slight_smile:

Talking about spooky … this is, what the codling moth is doing here in trees and bushes. :disappointed_relieved:

… and something to clean up the eyes, ein Heckenröschen

Both pictures taken on a walk yesterday.

edit: selected the wrong picture on export

From the last railcar work session:

the Big Heads of Woodworking convene over the mortising of the new outer sill…

Of note, in my recent post

I neglected to relate a battery incident. On Thursday we were working on the flatcar, and the site leader came running out yelling, “Grab your cameras! #168 is coming to switch stuff!” And so we did, meeting the locomotive at the head of our little railyard. This was something, as #168 is a high-stepping passenger locomotive, not made for rough-and-tumble car switching. And so the crew proceeded to extract a caboose out of our collection, then proceed down the woodshop track to retrieve a cold #315, a somewhat larger locomotive. Then, with #315 on it’s front coupler and the caboose on the rear, little #168 trundled it’s merry way down to the railroad’s main yard, slipping a little on the curve. And just prior to that, my battery ran out! Two fully-charged batteries in my car, too far away to retrieve either before the spectacle was no more… :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Maybe the rants about darktable being bloated were onto something, I can’t get it to run well on my new machine here. It might also be because the CPU is still computing SSH keys after 45 minutes but I don’t think that’s it. I’m filing a bug report on github. /s

You’ve got an extra slot, just add some memory, will be fine… :laughing:

A window on the other side of the street was tilted just enough to reflect a slice of evening sun into our kitchen. Just long enough to grab the camera and shoot.


Still life with IKEA plastic.

A DX2, what are you complaining about?

Anecdote: one of the crew at the company cafeteria was comparatively slow, and this gained him the nickname of “SX”.

I was playing guitar and this feller decided he wanted to join in :smiley: Barely got any shots in focus but these ones came alright. For a size comparison, the bit of metal he’s standing on, in the bottom two pictures, is a tuning peg.

In DSCF1073, the pattern on its back kind of looks like a face with a mustache… or not…

Friday started for me at 3.37 A.M.

I drank a coffee, ate something and walked 20 km through the wood.
