This one took some effort. Taken today at Richmond Riverside on my lunch break. Nikon F80 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 + Ilford HP5. Developed at home early evening with Patterson tank, Ilford DD-X and the kitchen sink, then scanned with a heath Robinson contraption involving a film holder, Nikon Z5ii, 24-70mm f/4 S lens and two cheap Meke macro extension tubes.
The Auroral displays last night weren't as good as I hoped; so this photo was taken two nights ago (11 November). During editing I had to reduce the amount of "micro contrast" to sort of remove the great number of the lights from the stars. My wife prefers that my photos show the myriads of starts all over the sky. It means that I will have to edit some of the images to show star lights everywhere 😅
Canon R6/RF 15-35 f/2.8 L set to M-focus @ 4-sec. exp., 1,200 ISO

Pretty much how things looked at sunset a few nights ago.
Vey colorful!
Much different that what the vegetation looks like in the interior of Alaska.
good chip wood chip

One of my earliest shots with the z50. This was shot at an ISO of 6400 then cropped to about 60% of the original vertical dimension/
A visit to Box Hill, one of the highest points in Surrey, last Saturday...

Ah happy days!
When I lived in London — well Kingston on Thames really, I'd cycle to Box Hill and then up for the view and an ice cream. 🙂
Yes, we saw loads of cycle clubs on Saturday, "doing the Hill"
Cheers

Sod that. The steps are hard enough!

I attended my grandson's first basketball game yesterday (8th grade) ~ He (#4) is one of the shortest on the team, but also one of the most talented and scored 18 of the 40ish points they won with. I only had my phone, so I didn't have a chance to get the best shots. (my excuse!) ~

Indeed that’s what happened to many of them. Even with electrical sparks on them can ignite brush.
Today’s photo:
It is the proverbial cycle every year. Heavy rains in the early months make the grasses grow like crazy and the low humidity the rest of the year dries them out. In many areas now it is the law to clear brush and grasses away from structures.
