Only just after midnight and just a picture including a "street" to satisfy the day's theme



K1 + IRIX 15mm f2.4 Blackstone uncropped. The "street" is the highway that connects Lake Inari (Nellim) with Ivalo in Lapland, northern Finland. Almost 150 pictures of the aurora in a bit over four hours.

K-1 + Auto Pentacon 135/2.8. On my way to pick up some repaired shoes from a shop on the left. Amongst other curiosities, this street is built on the site of the Civil War Battle of Turnham Green.

Before that I had some sentimental fun with a Santa residing in a kitchen drawer. As one season ends, another begins.

Lucky to have this guy go past me as I crossed this road a moment earlier. Busyish shot, what with all those overhead wires. Nto sure why.


And not far away, road to the municipal dump.

Half considered doing some street scenes but in between showers there was some nice light about so I went searching for some Autumn scenes up on the canal instead, my selection of the bunch was taken during one of the lighter showers which is just about visible.


Jupiter 8 85mm f2 on K-S2.

My take on street shot

Oly EM5/2, 14-150 II


Thought I will just go get a better lens, but he took off. 60mm macro

Liked this best because of the reflection quality that gives it an overalls abstract element.

my B&W fav

Two literal interpretations of "street" from our walk this afternoon.

Fujifilm X100T





and one with some humans and even a dog

!

Little time so a quick walk around the block with the random Pentacon electric 29mm 1:2.8 (cropped). I was spotted again even though My camera was hanging at my waist and I wasn't looking at it. I didn't even pay attention to the subjects, just that there were some cyclists in it.

I took part in the Sheffield Photo Marathon today. 6 theme shots to be taken in order with no pp in 6 hours. Not helped by some heavy showers... KP with DA 18-135. Waterproof kit was the order of the day.

Seeing red.



In the dark.



More on Flickr. The other themes were: In the pink; Out of the blue; Golden oldies and; At the end of the rainbow.

I dragged all my toys on the road... no not those ones, but my speedbounce, some flash equipment and triggers, and even my "lensball"... but it came to be a search for light to make a portrait by.

SMC Pentax M 20mm f4.0



I made quite a few images but with slow shutters, passing traffic and generally poor light I didnt make much headway.

K-1 with Pentax DA* 300mm f/4
Forgot all about the theme day. It wouldn't have mattered as I would still be posting this shot. It's not often that I'm able to capture a hummingbird in flight. It' even in focus! He was over 50' (@ 15+ M) away so the shot below is a massive crop. Because of that I've lost a lot of feather detail, but given how lucky I was to capture something recognizable, I'm hot quibbling. ISO was high because I wanted to shoot as fast as possible, hoping to freeze wing movement. I managed a shutter speed of 1/1600 with an ISO of 1000 and an f/stop of f/8. I will cop to the fact that the bird was hovering. But still. More shots in my flickr stream
