The Instagram set at work.
Especially for Nigel, who I know is very impressed by this sort of thing.
A high ISO recovery shot, the light was fading and this was a candid with a long lens.

So cute in that nice bikini. The latest male beachwear fashion in good old Blighty? Or some other place?

Good picture but I must give it a good "che schifo"

No, this was on a boat in Rio.

Well that explains it then

Just been playing around at home with the macro. It is incredibly hot here at the moment. Looking forward to experiencing a British summer soon.

Part of my pencil collection. Some new entries.

Just a cactus on my balcony

Youngsters

Has chance to shoot fox cubs in farm house, seems like they have settled nearby and early morning and late evening play around house.
They are quite careful and escape when see humans. I had some shots from house through windows and from car through windshield or side door window frame with window down so quality is not good in some shots but it was quite interesting experience nonethenless to see them discovering world and playing.

I love a pencil too and these are desirable items. It's not inconceivable that one day soon people will look at these and think "what the hell are these for?"
My daily driver is a Kuru Toga which cleverly rotates the lead every time you click so it keeps a pointed tip rather than chamfering one side.
I also covet a futuristic Italian pencil that is made from three coloured tubes so it fits in the fingers nicely but I deleted my list and cannot for the life of me remember what they're called.

<Edit> after wasting an hour trying to find the name...

Parafernalia Revolution!!

Foxes are Marmite creatures (you either love'em or hate 'em). I love the cubs, we have some in our garden every year. But they are bloody vandals too.
These are fantastic photos Vahur, full of care-free innocence. The last is beautiful.

This one?

Its a Parafernalia Revolution, from Milan. If you hunt around the web, you can find them in the UK

Ha! See my reply to your main post. I could have saved some time there. That's yours? I think you must have told me about them in a past thread.
Beautiful thing. Is it nice to use?
0.7 seems a bit large, prefer 0.5.
BTW, if you're coming to England to cool down your going to be disappointed. It's stiflingly hot.

These are really lovely. Your timing was was perfect in the first one.

Midtown reflection

Brave and funny.

Love the shapes and textures.

Great dance.

Nice blue on blue action.

I like the reflection of the other building on the glass façade, which makes the picture more interesting.

It is more interesting as an object, but it is fine to hold. The Caran d Ache Ecridor, is nicest pencil to use in my opinion. They have become super expensive lately though. I have not explored Japanese brands like Kuru Toga, you have to stop somewhere.

I stumbled across those in my morning web search. Beautiful.

The building side would make nice abstract shot.

Look like serious tools, should be nice to handle.

In London, all train tunnels have plenty of graffiti.

This photo is so gloriously abstract, that one forgets the sense of degradation that this graffiti inflicts on London.

The woman reflected makes this shot.
