Well deserved attention, John! Bravo!
Thanks, it's pretty exciting!
Thanks Dale! I can even walk without a cane these days too! In the spring I'll start working on rebuilding my strength again.

Belated congrats, John. Are you still making your truck run through Montana? Here's mine for today, from Cottonwood, AZ; a renovated old Texaco gas station that is now a hamburger joint. Replete with an old Plymouth parked out front.

I had to: the lens wouldn't reach from here...
Spooky. Is it Halloween already?
Northampton museum
I went to Northampton museum to look at the reconstructed head of King Richard III but the display wasn't very good for taking photos. It was in a glass show case and the room lights were on but not the exhibit lights so I had a wander around and came across this:
Fuji X100
1/58@f/2.8
ISO 3200
Well done and well deserved if I may say so!

^^^ How thoughtful... to have re-created the dead parrot sketch...
In terms of cropping... maybe bottom third could go?

Another one taken in Birmingham the other day. By this time the rain was really coming down, so I just used my iPhone (refused to get the DSLR wet!). Tweaked it a bit in LR.
I wanted to get a shot of the domes as I used to work for the company that made them. Two guys spun them all by hand. Brian & John's legacy.

I love this one on so many levels. What a great photo.
I live quite near a pretty church with a graveyard, but I'm never really sure about taking pictures up close. There's always lots of nice flowers as well. Maybe I'll have to go early one morning before anyone is around.
Very fortunate indeed MacRy.
I hope you're still staying that this time next year oblomow...365 owl shots later.
Thanks Alex. They have an average wingspan of about 150 cm and, under all those feathers, a relatively small body size and mass. This means they fly with extraordinary silence.
Thanks AFB, I'll probably do that but it may be one of the other shots.

Peter, I am really enjoying this owl series you have been posting. Here's another shot of Cathedral Rock from my recent trip to Sedona and northern AZ. My angle of view was limited by the fact that Oak Creek was running high and fast and my knees told me they wouldn't cooperate if I tired to cross over to get a better composition.
Something different for today.
I got to my underwater GoPro footage and sliced off a few stills. This was shot with no additional lights, and even after some long experimentations in Photoshop, the colours are quite a bit off, but this was 20m deep, so there is only so much you can do.
This is my scuba diving instructor playing with a venomous lion fish. Way to show off his excellent buoyancy control skills

King's Cross
Managed to grab a few shots of the recently refurbished section of King's Cross station on my way home from Brighton yesterday.

Hi LumbermanSVO,
First, congratulations on this accomplishment – well done.
Second, and take this with a grain of salt (pun intended) because I don't do studio shots (in a truck or out of one), I don't do food shots and I really don't do much with artificial light but I do like to eat...
The shot above looks almost too well and too evenly lit. To me it has an almost sterile feel. I wonder if a bit of strategically placed subtle shadow would add some dramatic flair and culinary appeal.

Blimey, Northampton museum has upped it's game since I last visited it!
Mine for today:
Fujfilm XE1 with 50mm Rokkor 1.4, F4, 1/210, ISO400
There are some interesting things in there, though it's quite small. I'm going to go back in later this week and try landscape mode instead.
Nice to see the sunshine again in your photo! I like pictures of interesting details.

The only thing I remember from it is the elephant's shoe.
The only thing I got to shoot today was from out of the window at work to test my newly purchased Vivitar 28mm 2.8 lens I bought at lunchtime.
