A few more pictures

 

 A few more from last week.  I think all are off the TZ80 compact.  As for me, I still feel bloody awful.

 

 

Pictures.

 

 Ok it's only two but although I'm a bit brighter, I'm still knackerd.  These are from last week.

 

 

Update

 I know I havent posted anything for a few days, sorry folks I'm i'll.  I picked up a really nasty virus or something, it's hit hell out of me,  I'm still knackered and waking up soaked in sweat, and feel like a limp rag.  No energy.  

I've got a few pics from last week, I'll try and edit and post them later.

The black and white version.

 

 Heres the black and white version of the Lucis arts edit I did yesterday, and two other pics.

 

 

Lucis art

 

 Theres a program called Lucis art, a plug-in for Photoshop.  It gives a varity of effects, leaning towards the HDR sort of look.  This was processed with it.

T The main difference between this and the original is the wood texture and the shadow detail behind the wood.  Thats lightened up a LOT.

I'm going to try it in black and white, I'll post that version tomorrow.

Assorted pictures

 

 As the weather was fine for a change, I got some images, heres a few.  Canon 6d2 and Tamron 28-300mm lens.

 

 

Felt naked

 

Yesterday I had to go out without all my normal EDC (every day carry) kit.  It felt really strange.  For years I've carried more or less the same kit, a torch, swiss army knife, hand sanitiser etc etc.

 Yesterday going out withut it I felt naked, seriously, I felt really odd.  OK I carry a lot of EDC, more than most I suspect.  It's the way I was trained and the way I like to function , I'm used to having all the bits and peices that make my life easier.  But Boy is it weird without it!

Beach scene warm tone black and white

 A photo from a week or two back, weathers been crap and I havent been out, so playing with photoshop it is.

Flowers and moon

 A few shots I missed last week.  Off the TZ80 compact.

Light and dark (part two)

 The last of the recent light and dark shots.  Probably my favorites too.  Canon 6d2 and Yongnuo 50mm lens.

Light and dark. (part one)

 

 I went out just looking for shots, I wasnt planning a light and dark idea, but it sort of worked out that way a bit. 

 Canon 6d2 and Yongnuo 50mm lens.

The aurora?

 

Last night on my way home I noticed the sky was very red.  This isnt a leftover from sunset, the suns been down for hours at this time and I walk this route a LOT, several nights a week for years, this is new, never seen it before.  And I'm aware of my world.

 Now theres no real streetlights in that area, and the few lights there are, are all white one's.  So whatever this is it's odd.  It faded out after a short while, about the time I got home and got a proper camera in fact.

 This is off my phone, it's very dark here.  There is an aurora warning in place as we've had a lot of sunspot activity and we're at solar maximum.

 

 

Colours.

 

 Taken for a fun challenge on colours.   Canon 6d2, Sigma 50mm macro lens.

 

 

New computer has landed

 My new computer arrived today, an Alienware something or other, water cooled.  Got to get keyboard and mouse for it.  It's a big  lump of a computer.

Been ill

 Over the last week I've been ill, some sort of flu or maybe mild covid?  Anyway I've had a nice cough and felt a bit "off"  Not too bad really for the flu or covid, been able to carry on more or less.  I am trying to keep away from people though, I dont want to spread it about.  While I might not be too bad, someone else could be hit harder.

Water and reflections

 

 A few recent shots.

 

 

Some random pictures. (some black and white)

 

 A few from the last day or so, all on the Lumix TZ80 compact camera.

 

 

Foxes

 Got these yesterday on the TZ 80 compact camera.  Zoomed all the way and through glass.  Not bad considering.
