I'm busy today, but I wanted to explain this photo since a few people have commented on this.
It was taken well after sunset, and I used light painting on the foreground and, obviously, a long exposure to get this shot.

Terminal 5 - this is a 4-frame stitch, cropped, downsized and JPG compression applied. Sometimes, after work, when things have been stressful in meetings, I take the long-way home, park the car near the port, and sit. To decompress. Listen to some music in the car. Take a shot with the camera. Peace and quiet. Nobody else around.
Here are a couple more from a short boat ride last week:
Interesting and wonderful effect. How much did you have to push this in post? Or, did the phone camera (at capture) already get it pretty "close" to the end result? How much processing latitude is there? The amazing thing is... the extent to which things are "going on in the background" when it comes to phone cameras.
Phone booths... YES. And when you needed to look-up a name/number in the book (that was in the booth)... the "page" was missing... always torn out! LOL.
Here are a variety of shots I have taken fairly recently.
Really cool. I realize it wasn't "THAT light" when you were standing there, but from experience I know that it FEELS that way (and you always want the picture to capture the feeling). You did.
In the Woods
Haven't done much photography lately.
I have been joining with a group of local people with an interest in woodland, and yesterday we visited a small woodland owned and managed by one of our number in the South Lakeland area. It was a very chaotic treescape, and very interesting to hear how he had been managing it over twenty-plus years, but few opportuites for photos. Here are a couple that are more or less presentable!
Nice. I know the feeling!
I am at home recovering from an operation, so nothing new this week. But I am finally getting the last part of my 3 Blurb book set on the Tosco Emilian Apennine hikes done (It has taken me10 years!).
It is incredible just how much software has improved. I have reprocessed just about everything and even found some good stuff that passed me by. Here are some old Nikon D300 shots. With the AI tools in Capture One, a lot of pictures became usable too. Maybe I have got a little better at PP too.
It fun to go through the archives, and come across pictures that have been forgotten, in the constant churn of new pictures.
Yes, yes, yes, and yes! Software has improved. I really loved my old D300. It had it's limitations (noise) but was a fun/capable camera. And we DO get better with experience! Going through the archives... ALWAYS fun. Best wishers for your post-op recovery.
BMW show in Bike fest
In Narva bike fest were lot of different BMW-s presented, from latest model to older and quite interesting ones.
What caught my attention with this car was the rear window, it was so big that at first I tought that it has no window at all and open from rear. So very different compared to modern cars.
Yes indeed. The 3.0 CS (CSi) -- THAT was a heckuva car in it's day! Great styling.

Beautiful. I can smell the air. Where? Lake Ontario?

Here are a couple that are more or less presentable!These Small Leaved Limes blew over in a big storm some years ago, and they've been doing what limes do... regrowing and even re-rooting some distance away. The remains of the box attached to the trunk was originally for dormice, but never attracted any inhabitants.
The Limes are very curious, in how they regenerate after storm damage and such.
@Daneland has written:Excellent shot - colours, shapes, shadows, sense of place.
I liked your description :)

Man, this looks a great place for a stroll to blow the cobwebs away.

Jeez, there's a hell of a lot of detail in this. Always enjoy your port shots.

It's quite a crop for a phone camera to handle but I don't think resolution matters too much in this sort of shot.
Intriguing. Bit blurry person fits well.
Great capture of light and colour. Are there phone booths still available? Here all are killed by cell phones, I know just one which is kept as historic relict, but without connected phone, of course. Would be good to have some in noisy districts to go into and speak with mobile phone in relative quietness and peace when needed.

I like this shot, the emotion from movement in her face. Lack of shadows makes her seemingly hoover over ground. And I spotted our national blue-black-white flag...

Oppose the gravity! I like tones here, conveys that greenish hue of forest.

Love this shot, the way how reflections are blending with foreground.

I almost feel the wind... Not so sure about centerd horizon but at the moment can't suggest any better framing either...

I like how these cranes are all oriented in same way and providing framing to ship.
