You would never catch me anywhere near those snakes!

Certainly plenty to learn here. I bought a Canon 700d about 8 months ago came with a kit 18-55mm and I bought a 50mm for portraits of my kids. I would like to get maybe a 55-250mm or something with a bit more distance. I still shoot in auto and wouldn't have a clue about post processing anything. So hoping to pick up a few tips.

Some marvelous pics here!

PC Build finished (for now...)

Pics tweaked on the new PC

These were taken at The Fleece in Bristol - fantastic venue for lighting but they have some really annoying roof-support pillars right near the stage, so moving around isn't too easy.

The band is Tragedy - a band specialising in rocked-up covers of Bee Gees songs (and a fair bit of disco/80s too) - Look 'em up on Youtube

Glad this is still plodding along. Had a million and one things going on lately so haven’t had a chance to do much. 

I’ll leave one of my running partner though. Relaxing on the beach!

Maybe not a technically great photo, but here's something you don't see every day... the Portland Streetcar derailed today right outside my office. I heard the noise and looked out just in time to watch 50 tons (or whatever) of streetcar slidiing sideways down the street... luckily there was only one injury, the driver of a truck it hit (but it may have been his fault).

That bue car parked on hte left is mine...

Do you know what kind of spider it is? My guess is some sort of Orb Weaver, but I don't know many spiders outside of Texas.

[TWINSET 1793]

No, could be the imaginatively named 'Garden Spider' https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/other-garden-wildlife/insects-and-other-invertebrates/worms-slugs-spiders/garden-spider/

Was only a littl'un although right at the top of my tolerance  (mildly arachnophobic )

[TWINSET 1793]

Here's a couple of old macro shots (reversed 50mm lens)

This is probably a Zebra Spider and the coin is about the size of a US dime (18mm diameter)

 

 

 

Handheld (camera and spider)

Very cool. I try to get close with the camera, but no way am I letting a spider crawl on me. 

[TWINSET 1793]

Once you accept that most things don't want to kill you (even if it looks like they could), it becomes easier

Any spider bigger than 20mm diameter wants to kill me, then feast on my organs, but the rest of them...

I've seen enough wildlife documentaries to know that everything in Australia is deadly, including that water hose.

A bit of night Mountain biking on some local trails..............best thing about it makes you feel faster than you actually are.
