Hell, Rob, winter is approaching together with that low sun. Man, get yourself that chair and wheel out that pod and cat!

Actually, I was thinking about trying to use it to get some weird market shots, but I think I'll save them until my ND arrives, which won't fit that lens anyway.

Unless my gut settles soon I won't be doing much of anything. I was sick (violently) most of Sunday night, stayed in bed Monday till noon and eat nothing but drank lots of water. Tuesday I went out to lunch, where the owner told me it wasn't me, it was something doing the rounds: he and his son had had two days of it! That was all I needed: decided that was where I'd picked it up! Felt grim all today and made myself some rice. As they said at the end of the famous movie: tomorrow's another day!

Cheers!

Rob

Rob, get well soon!

Thanks - had lunch out again today and feel quite good! Time for another snap, in fact!

One of the rare times (as in 2) when I managed to carry the Tamron 150-600 with me.
Focus works well with a D750, here are a couple of examples.

Rob - nice lunch time shot. Nicely balanced in composition and tone.

Could say the same about Armand's 2 photos: Looks like the little guy's hiding & the big one's seeking.

Thanks - but I think I misled you: "lunchtime shot" was a reference to my feeling like posting a shot after lunch on the day of the post, not that I'd made it that day! But it was made after lunch a year on two ago - it's the daily period I seem to find most energy to do much of anything!

Armand's two shots do make for perfect mutual companions, the one to the other.

I wanted a grainy moonlit seascape, but time was short, and the weather wasn't about to deliver any visible moon before we left, so I improvised a bit, and thought I could sort things in processing. So a daytime shot, but hopefully looking a little bit moonish. Whaddya think? Does it work?

I think cropping the picture on the right-side, just beyond the driftwood, will strengthen the composition. I think it's okay to open up the upper sky to let the grain show. This image will look great on cotton natural hot press paper. When looking at your picture, I am reminded of Nicéphore Niépce.

I think cropping the picture on the right-side, halfway between the moon and the edge of the frame, will strengthen the composition. Why not open up the upper sky a shade or two to let the grain show? This picture has a tactile quality that will render well on natural hot press cotton paper. As I look at it, I am reminded of Nicéphore Niépce's famous first photo.

Thanks for that. The crop would cut out the sun/moon lit rocks on the beach. I quite like them. Off to look up Nicéphore Niépce

Edit: to add that I now feel slightly embarrassed for not knowing who he was

Nicéphore Niépce is not exactly a household name.

Nope, a gallerista's wet dream is closer. You ain't missed much, Mr Chairman; rarity doesn't equate with quality! (As I get banned from cultivated society...)

It's good, Bill, and I like it, but you aren't going to fool anyone into thinking that it was taken at night.

Rob, really enjoyed your 'fats domino' and 'five' images. You must be entering a new phase, where your try to find new ways of seeing ordinary things in new ways.
