From my 2023 trip to South Africa. View of the Cape Town harbour with reflections from the angled windows of the Museum of Contemporary Art Africa.
ISO 800, 40 mm, f/5.6, 1/2000 s
interesting take on a landscape with a foreground pattern and reflections on glass.
Signs of spring. Taken in Griffith Woods today. Experimenting with manual focus at minimum distance on my 35 mm macro at f/2. Got the rim sharp but the a very shallow depth of field.
Mallards at rest in Fish Creek Park.
f/5.0, 1/1000 sec, 211 mm, ISO 125
I think that I like this shot better.
osprey ISO 400 340mm f7.1 1/1600
Della, I like the way that the osprey stands out against the light background.
black necked stilts ISO 400 400mm 7.1 MM 1/2000
Which are the reflections and which are the non-reflected object(s)? Clue: there is a sleigh of hand going on. Heavy use of Lightroom (Darn! I am increasingly being seduced by AI). F/2.8; 1/100 sec.; ISO 100
Peggy’s Cove (near) F/4.5; 1/80 sec.; ISO 100. Massaged with Lightroom

Fuji GFX 50mm prime lens ; F8.0/ISO 500/ SS@1/40 second on tripod.
I learned this trick on the iPhone from the Offbeat community, the group of photographers I went to Morocco with. This is from one of the stops we made in the medina in Fes. I always went off on my own little photographic journey during these “shopping opportunities,” and when I came back the shop was so crowded I used this technique to convey the chaos.
Set the camera to Live photo and hold it steady to take a photo. Then open it in Photos, tap “Live” and scroll down to Long Exposure. Voila, an effect that would normally require a tripod and a slow shutter speed to achieve. I just came back from southern Ontario and used the same method to capture some cool blurry waterfall and moving forest shots.
Great shot Frankie.
It does suggest a madding crowd with colourful merchandise litterly hanging from every surface adding to the frenzied look.
Thanks Bill!
Taken for the previous assignment, but I quite like it. I did some post processing in Gimp but forgot exactly what…
f/6, 1/30, iso 100
Not quite Xmas anymore, but still going…

This octopus swam in front of me and then several seconds later changed to the colour in the second picture to match his environment. Amazing to watch.
Taken with my Fuji under water camera.
Several seconds later
Nice photos Sue. I love how the Octopus changes colour.
Did you try using the colour sliders in PhotoShop to remove some of the green tint and show the original colours? I find those tools very effective to bring out the true colours in underwater photos.
