This weekly thread is principally intended for you to showcase your photos made with Canon cameras of all sorts: SLR, DSLR, Mirrorless, M-series, APS-C, film, etc. But any brand of camera will be accepted, including photos taken with your phone. We do enjoy reading an accompanying text explaining your photo and any special techniques you may have used. Comments and helpful criticisms on others' photos are also welcome: we can all learn something from each other. We look forward to seeing your contributions and new participants to this series of threads are always welcome!
A new thread for the following week will be posted next Saturday around 10 pm UK time.
Digirame and I will be active here and are sharing the hosting, but we are used to all joining in and commenting on others' photos.

Review of Last Week
Photobygms was the first to post with a large collection of fascinating photos from a hike through leaves, bare trees and snow. His energy makes me feel quite unhealthy! Seriously, there were many superb shots -- some of which should be entered into the weekly competition. Check out his varied portfolio.
Mocha also took a walk -- around Lynch and Gunwade Lakes, taking some classic shots, including a squirrel enjoying a mushroom for lunch (another candidate for the competition!) and a bird taking off.
Digirame shared photos of wood ducks from earlier in the year. He certainly has good luck in finding these and photographing them -- particularly with the 600mm lens. His RF lens arrived during the week and we were treated to evening shots in the dark, for which his RP is highly suited. I am glad that he is happy with this new camera, and that he got it at such a good price.
Meanwhile, snow struck here in Vienna, though noit as much as in the west of the country, and has only just gone away, though it remains cold. As things improved underfoot I ventured out to the Prater and took a shot of the Riesendrad just after sunset with my new camera. This has a fixed 28mm lens and I think I could have framed the shot better with my Canon 16mm; but, as I said before, the ideal lens is always at home! I may return to retake that shot, as the lighting of the ferris wheel is so intriguing, and it will be interesting to see whether I am right about the 16mm lens.
Steve took several fascinating shots looking through his trees as the sun went down, in both colour and B&W, and with dramatic menancing clouds also.
JACS has managed to find a beach where the sun shines and there is no snow. His dogs made an appearance this week, much enjoyed by all of us.
Dunlin has been doing maintenance on his computer, but is still checking in with us and will no doubt return to the fray with a vengeance.
Keep sending them in and supporting each other. Thank you for helping to make this one of the most interesting threads on this site!
