'Close - but no Cigar'

One blue and one pink elephant pattern see-saw rides in a children's playground. Not a Mastodon then! 📷👎 😎

30th November 2013 - a cold but very sunny day at Manchester Airport.
All photos taken from the Aviation Viewing Park, which faces more or less South, so everything is pretty heavily backlit.

Tiny little cute Northern Crab spider on a Rose of Charon, plus a photo showing the photographer's thumb for a sense of scale.

The other day I got a Swift Searcher Model 839 with the camera adapter and case at a auction for a really good price. Last night I got to try shooting the moon. Here is the results

Camera: Canon T3i - Lens Swift Searcher 20x40x60mm (1400mm) - using the 20x eyepiece - f22 - ISO 100

Second shot using the 40x eyepiece 2700mm - f45 I couldn't get the whole moon in the frame.

Has anyone else ever used a spotting scope with their camera? If so what do you think of them?

I thought I'd share my quick, evening, walk in Ashcombe Park, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, UK, with you all.

I had with me a Nikon D3 & Nikkor 24-85mm. Hand held shot with the light failing fast.

A calming half hour spent with an iconic camera all the same. 📷👍😎

throwback thursday -- #photography #photos

My profile pic is from a trip I went on to Antarctica when I was in grad school. I went with my advisor and Doug Prose, a documentary maker (Earth Images Foundation) to shoot footage for a piece on geology and climate change. I set up a tripod on this trip out to the Allan Hills (a location where some famous meteorites have been discovered on the blue ice) and we took some jumping photos, me and Doug.

Goedemorgen!
Start de dag goed en maak een foto.

"Watching the City Rise"

A little bit different from my usual color grading. What do you think? 👍 👎 ?

street photos from a tuesday near you: https://matt.pictures/2018/09/20/street-photos-on-a-tuesday.html

Clear Lake, CA, with an old Mamiya C330 TLR camera. Not an ergonomically correct machine.

Hand-grip proof of concept. The was just gonna be a prototype to try, but I think I’m gonna just use it for a bit. Yes, that’s a socket.

Finally bulk loaded a cassette for my #Minolta 16 II #spycamera. I'm hoping for decent things from it; it's fully manual and about 2/3 the size of an Olympus XA!

This was by far my my biggest #photography / #photo print project to date.

I did manage to get to play nice with the banner slicing though.

I can now post this on the one wall I had picked out for a spiffy panorama.

(Those are A3+ sheets mildly trimmed...)

It’s a bench, it’s mossy, and apparently it’s a hit. This one gets more faves on social media than any other pic I’ve taken. I don’t know why. But it seems to evoke reactions in people. I’ve had two people quietly cry in front of me looking at it.

I believe these were operated by Business Air
Seen here from the Airport Hotel, Manchester, sometime after Jan 1997.

Last image from my Southeast Scotland: Summer 2018 set https://www.iancylkowski.com/southeast-scotland-summer-2018/

This composition struck me because of the contrast between the modern architecture of the National Museum of Scotland and the ancient architecture of Edinburgh Castle.

Oh, come on!
#gimp 2.8 on #linux ( #ubuntu18.04 ) keeps crashing on me - it doesn't matter how big or small the image, or how many steps I've taken (I've taken to saving to .XCF every 5 or so steps!) - If I'm lucky, it crashes just after I've saved the image, if not then I have to recreate each step on this ancient laptop which, quite frankly, was rubbish when I bought it!
I would switch to 2.10, but I can't figure out how to replicate most of the filters and effects I use!
