I went to Radipole today and saw my first Osprey there!

I also had a Marsh Harrier fly right over my head. My back spasmed from bending back so far and I clipped its wing

It's been too long since I posted in here.  Most of it is just regurgitated stuff from Instagram, and I stopped because the tool I was using to link from Instagram broke.  I hope this version is fixed: 

 

 

Hit the upload limit here.  This photo made me chuckle though, it was in the Autumn, and as someone who works in public transport I had nothing but sympathy for the bus driver when he was greeted by a bloke without a mask trying to get a fully inflated novelty flamingo pool toy onto his bus during a pandemic.  Image is slightly soft, but I was using vintage glass on a mirrorless body.

Grabbed this still from Blade Runner - the BT Ipswich cut - on the way home last night. Only taken on my phone so not the best quality unfortunately.

Lucas is continuing to improved. He has started to play more with composition and crops. Really liked this one.

Anybody else seen the Rankin photography show on BBC4, first 3 are on iPlayer with final ep next week

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000wfcw/great-british-photography-challenge-series-1-episode-1

 

It's not quite 'bake off for photography' as despite having amateurs competing nobody gets sent home each week and its more about the process of taking different types of shot and them all improving, under Rankin's watching eye.

 

Feedback is pretty blunt with a sprinkling of luvvie art world speak and its very 'BBC4', no gloss or presenter even, plus each week is 3 different challenges so rattles along at a good pace.

This is undoubtedly my least productive year for photography in nearly a decade, I've now left the house with camera four times since January (edit - actually since November!), and all of those were in the past fortnight. Three of my trips were hunting for macro shots and I got nothing, and the final outing I played it safe with a landscape shot and ended up being in the wrong place at the right time. Best sunset I've seen in a year, but the best of it was over a hill.

 

Frustrating but it was nice to be out doing a landscape again. I find the process so mentally relaxing and I've really needed that in my life this year.

@PeteJ Why was this Pete? The lack of photography I mean. Tell me to sod off if its private etc. For me I built up a massive backlog of shots to process and then just got sick of it. I was being too heavy handed with edits and I felt like I was getting nothing out of it. My wife and I started doing a lot of hiking/ hillwalking and I stopped taking the camera with me; I just could not be arsed dragging it around when my phone was fine for what she wanted (insta stuff). 

A few weeks ago I sold my D3300 and all the glass and bought a Sony A7 iii with a 70-200mm F4. Suddenly I'm interested again. Still not sure if I will drag it with me on hikes. 

 

Just grabbing a few jpgs from Whatsapp so quality might be shite.

Ah nothing private so no worries. I was desperately keen to get out and shoot but just didn't seem to have the time. I think working at home 100% of the time has broken any kind of routine I may have had between work and home. Everything just kind of blurs into the same thing and before I know it the day, week, month, year has passed and I've done nothing for my own well being. 

Randomly at work they announced a photo competition - the first time ever - with no prizes so just for fun, and it suddenly jolted me into action again.

 

I know it feels when it all bogs down on you though, you start taking photos for the sake of it or even worse (in my opinion) taking photos to chase likes on social media. Mixing things up is a good idea, for example try a different discipline of photography (for me it's Macro rather than Landscape), so to has having a break from social media!

[idiwa]

@PeteJ Yeah I think working from home for 18 months has killed all my creative spark. I work in a creative role (UX, visual designer) but having a home office and spending 7.5hrs in there with work the last thing I want to do is spend another couple of hours in the same room in the evening or on weekends. It's exacerbated somewhat by having all my photography on a PC built for editing, so its not as if I can just sit on the sofa with my MBP and edit stuff for lulz. 

 

Lightroom over several machines is a utter pain in the tits (Lightroom Classic I mean).

It's been ages since I've had the camera out and even longer since I used my macro lens.  I have forgotten a lot of post-processing things too - shocking how quick it is to become rusty with anything.  Anyways - I rescued a bee in my garden earlier on this evening and I managed to grab a few shots.  Any pointers from any of the more advanced photographers here?  I used to post regularly on a photography forum but don't tend to frequent there as much these days.  It was cool to catch the proboscis in the last one but I liked the dominating pose in the first.  I didn't notice the destroyed spider in the bottom left when shooting.

@PeteJ that's lovely Pete, love the layering with the hills and the subtle colouring.
