That's not a Perch.
Drove almost 3 hours to do some Perch fishing today. THIS - was as big as they got ! This little fellah was released back to his watery home...

This one had me in hysterics sunnyj! I see a tajine with crab... Gotta wonder where the architects mind was at the time...

Llittle guy brought back some memories. Used to do a lot of fishing on the St. Lawrence for black bass (small mouth) and perch. Those perch were just ferocious no matter what the size. BTW, fried up in a pan....nothing sweeter
Terrific start to the month guys! So many great photos.
Here's one for someoldguy, NYC from Brooklyn.
I had a shot planned in my head before I left for the US for down on the water pictured here, and was waiting for the right light, but the officers closed the park right as the light was how I wanted it.
This closure was due to the hurricane damage effecting the park lighting.
I grabbed this one on the walk back to the subway.
I hear the concerns re the thumbnailing plugin. It's not working for me right now either.
Just need to find time...

Taken last night, it's a controversial (to many of the locals) bridge for an electric train extension very near where I live, spanning just over a mile of the Onkaparinga Estuary.

This village - Lacock in Wiltshire - is where William Henry Fox Talbot lived: generally regarded as the 'father of photography'. As a keen botanist, but poor draughtsman, he wanted to find a more accurate way to make images of flowers. On his camera obscura he would throw the images onto a sheet of ground glass... so he could trace the outline onto paper with a pencil. He wrote: "How charming it would be if it were possible to cause these natural images to imprint themselves durable and remain fixed upon the paper! And why should it not be possible? I asked myself".
He experimented with various light-sensitive chemicals. The rest is history. The oldest photographic negative in existence, dating from 1835, is of a window in Lacock Abbey. More info...

It's Clovelly, in Devon, UK. By "afternoon" I mean any time between lunch time and closing time. Here's another picture, to help you find it ...

but wait £6.50 to visit the village? That's 2 pints!!!
Pelican colony at the Onkaparinga Estuary, South Australia. Sunset time with the background lit quite harshly and the pelicans in shadow.

Hope the cops let you squeeze off just one shot of the Bridge . The 2 who threw me out of the park were pretty tolerant . The Promenade ( where I believe you took your posted pic ) is high up on my 'field trip' list now that it's getting warmer .

Wosely Bay. Manitoulin Island, Ontario.
I hope the fish along the St Lawrence were a little larger It was a nice day out though. The temperature got up to 8C. For those who like this kind of thing - I took these photos with 28mm f2.8 Magnicon lens I just bought. On my D700, it's totally a manual lens. As I understand, the Magnicon was the "house" trademark of Blacks Photography in Canada. Seems they might have been manufactured by Tokina. So I've had it for just a couple of days and I'm learning. For example, the original owner had UV filters on all the old stuff I bought. I was chuffed to see he also had a polarizer. So I added that on top of the UV and discovered the vignetting was pretty bad as the D700 "saw" the ring of the polarizer. I should have taken the UV off. Here's a shot I took of Wosley Bay. It brings to mind photos of the salt flats in Bolivia. I do like the lens though. Hope you are all having a good one.

Great eyes ( and hair ). But I really have soft spot for little children eating (stuffing their mouths) with fruit (strawberries, cherry tomatoes etc).
Nice shot nonetheless. I plan on going to NY in about a month, so I hope that at that time the park will stay open for some late day / night shots from that park. Like you, I've been planning a few pictures from that same location.
Very nice, but maybe a tighter shot on this beautiful child's face would emphasize his/?her blue eyes even more or even a tighter crop? Just a thought.
