Fungi at Brandon Country Park

 Beautiful autumn day at Brandon with golden sunlight through the trees yesterday for our RPS Nature Group Fungi hunt. There was a good variety around though not in the large numbers we have seen some years. I concentrated on some of the very small specimens found in the leaf litter etc. Mostly these are single shots at F13/F16 with 23mm lens plus close-up lens. The last two images are focus-stacked at F2 and F16 (No noise reduction at the moment as computer a bit poorly!)

Sunset, Moonrise and Jupiter at its Nearest

I went to watch sunset and moonrise yesterday evening and to record a special astronomical event. Jupiter was closest to the earth yesterday evening  in 59 years. Jupiter will not be closer to the earth until (mark your calendars) next century, on October 7th, 2129!

Madingley American Cemetery

 Spent an enjoyable day at the American Cemetery sharing hints for using the FujiX100V with Ros. We investigated some of the special features including the in-built neutral density filter (images 1 - 15secs, 2 - 1/250sec), wide aperture (F2), panorama mode and multiple exposures.

Second Visit to the Red Squirrels Isle of Wight

We made a second visit to the Red Squirrel location that we enjoyed so much on our first day and were rewarded with beautiful light and equally beautiful subjects to photograph. My favourite image is with the light through the background trees

Ventnor to Bonchurch, Isle of Wight

On Saturday morning we walked along the coast from Ventnor to Bonchurch in beautiful sunshine but with very strong winds. As well as photographing the spray, I played with multiple exposure to give the impression of the overriding presence of the rough seas.
