Show Your Pictures...April 17, 2023

Hi mocha
Very nice range of images and while I like the frog/toad I can't go past the Kestrel.

I saw one last year while I was on holiday interstate (in Australia) and got a few shots (not in flight) and was super excited.

Cheers
Paul

Great photos Digirame, I enjoyed seeing them.
The last few days here have been (mostly) sunny and spring-like.

Cool photos. I just had some fun learning about the Noisy Minor online.

Superb photos as always mocha123.
The kestrel wins it for me.

Dunlin,

It's nice to see where you live. When someone else is driving, I like to take photos from the car too. Is that a parking lot with the diagonal lines?

Hi Digirame,
I was actually on foot. It was a crossing, and I was standing on a traffic island.

Thank you.
They're an interesting bird and there's rarely a dull moment when they're around and another species turns up.

Cheers
Paul

Nice image
This is definitely something I should do more of. Photography AND walking.
😃

Cheers
Paul

Thank you Paul.

Hi Digirame, Thank You.

The Wood Pigeon is the most common of our Pigeons/Doves. I see them in our woodlands but rarely in towns. The flower was just above head height so I got the sky in. At this time of year the frogs become really noisy and are only interested in one thing. This one stood its ground :-)

I find the Kestrels mainly on the coasts along the cliff tops but this one was close to the Canal.

Where I live, in a suburb in NE England, Wood Pigeons are very common in gardens and parks. Collared Doves on the other hand have become rarer.

Hi fotoword, Thank You.

I usually find the Kestrels on the cliff tops, this one was over farmland.

Where I live (NW England) I was lucky enough to have a pair of Collard Doves regularly visit the garden, I haven't seen them so far this spring.

Hi Dunlin, Thank You.

Hopefully I'm back to see the Red Kites shortly.

Nice, Leading Lines....

Subject: More Robots

On Dpreview I showed you all some pictures of robots in February of this year. Later I found one more in a restaurant.

Photo No. 1 - This robot would serve people at their tables. Isn't that cool? I took this without a flash, which is why I needed such a high ISO.

Model - Canon EOS Rebel T7i
ExposureTime - 1/15 seconds
FNumber - 5
ISOSpeedRatings - 8000
ExposureBiasValue - -1.33
FocalLength - 18 mm
Lens Model - EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

Photo No. 2 - This was one of many pictures I took at Oregon State University of these food cart robots (for those that didn't see my pictures of it previously).

Model - Canon EOS Rebel T7i
ExposureTime - 1/400 seconds
FNumber - 9
ISOSpeedRatings - 500
ExposureBiasValue - 0
FocalLength - 76 mm
Lens Model - EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

I’m glad to see that I can still post here. Probably will upgrade my camera when I get a new computer. I have a Canon Rebel T4i so it’s time.
