    Last Rays

    As the sun gradually slid down working it's way over Crinckle Crags...

    P7176888.jpg

    towards Bow Fell.

    The other shots are nice, but this is great, although it really needs to be seen big to appreciate it properly.

    I climbed Bowfell a couple of times, including one quite epic route that also included Pike O'Blisco, Crinkle Crags and Esk Pike. I'm sure I'd have gone back many more times by now if the whole heart problems thing hadn't kicked in. The image I use for my avatar was taken up there on The Great Slab.

    Good point! Good thought.

    I think that in first shot the waves should have more attention, so maybe cutting third or even half from bottom brings more attention to it.

    Some pretty funky looking bikes, there. I love the skeletons.

    Early Morning Encounters

    The excessive heat throughout July has made walks in the countryside feel like something of a chore. As a result, despite managing a few woodland walks, I didn't get out very much during most of it. However, the temperatures dropped a little last week, staying on the right side of 20C on most days, at least up until mid morning, so, thanks to a series of early starts, I was able to get out onto the moors without spontaneously combusting.

    I was hoping for some animal encounters while out and about, so I persuaded myself to bring the Nikon Z8 and my longest lens, the hefty 100-400. In a concession to reducing the weight of my bag ever so slightly, I swapped out my 24-70 f/4S lens in place of the usual 24-70 f/2.8S which is a bit of a lump. I was still grumbling at the weight, but it was manageable and at least it wasn't the GFX kit (which would have been useless for what I ended up photographing anyway, although the tripod might have been handy).

    The Deer In The Woods

    After the Kestrel flew off, I hung around for a while, but she didn't return, so eventually I made my way back through the woods and was pleased to stumble across this Roe Deer. He watched me for a few minutes as I crept closer, then, when he'd decided I was too close, he calmly trotted off down the path, eventually disappearing into the ferns.

    DSC_6728.jpg

    I get the appeal of trying to capture BIF shots, similar to hunting them with a gun but far more humane. Exciting series, some excellent shots to peruse, I like the 'rescued' shot, particularly the feet. But I really like the light in the deer shot here.

    It has been just too hot here to even think about photography. So here is a little sub par set that I shot for my Romanesque project. Santuario della Bastia, in isola della Scala, near Verona, was near a place I had to go to for a site visit. it dates from 1126, and is in a pretty location. Wrong time of day, so the pictures are a bit so, so.

    This is a particularly satisfying little detail. Nice contrast of lines and textures.

    The deer shot is wonderful. The oof foreground trees really emphasise the 'peering through dense undergrowth' feeling.

    The disputing kestrels are really showing off their flight skills here. You can clearly see the little feathers on the 'thumb' of the wings being used to work the aerodynamics.

    Sitting in the back yard relaxing in the warm breeze on the patio. Two shots. Both @ 400mm handheld. Subject distance to the boat is 500m. Subject distance to the sparkling water is 2m (with of course very thin DOF as you can see on the surface of the side table).

    A Very Vocal Buzzard

    As I neared the edge of the woods, I heard the haunting cry of a Buzzard overhead. Sure enough, as I stepped out into the open I could see a pair of them circling overhead, calling out at they did and no doubt striking terror into any small mammals and insects running for cover in the field beneath them.

    A very enjoyable set this week with those birds of prey.
