What a lovely day today

We had a lovely time at Paddy's Hole, Redcar.

A7III and Sony 24mm f2.8.



A7cII and 40mm.

Fishermans huts with a view to Redcar, Marske and Saltburn in the distance.



Boats, industry and a ship thingy for building windfarms.



And boats again but this time a panorama.

Ship thingy is a Jack-up barge.

Impressive up close when they’re testing them, they go really high (or indeed deep, which is the point. Sail to where they’re working then make a stable platform).

I know... but only because I Googled it

I used my Godox iT32 for the first time in anger yesterday. It's handy being able to pop it on and off the camera with the magnetic attachment.

Not Sony...

This popped up on Youtube and I thought others might like to see it.

As it's quiet...

Just a little curio from Paddy's Hole. A7III and Sony 24mm f2.8.



The grass looks to be out of focus but it isn't it's sharp front to back. It's just the texture and I suppose the light.

100% crop.



I hope you found that interesting

I like the idea of the 4 lens camera for 3D images, I wonder why no-one's tried this in digital format

It looks like the nice weather has ended here. This morning we had complete cloud cover and flat light. When I went out this morning I went straight back in to put a fleece on. Oh well.

While I'm here. More from a sunny Paddy's Hole. All A7cII and Sony 40mm f2.5.

Clear water but cold.



It might be cold but you have to paddle.



Soft warm sand. We got there early and there were very few people about, more soon began to arrive. This is more so still not crowded.



A panorama shot with A7III and Sony 24mm f2.8. When will we see conditions like this at Redcar again?

Was dull here this morning but it's glorious sunshine again now.

Was dull here this morning but it's glorious sunshine again now.

It's sunny here now too which is nice as I wanted to take a picture of this before it gets spoiled. A7cII and 40mm.



It's not our first rose this year but it is the first from this plant.

A bud.

I'm a fan of multi-purpose lenses, and they seem to have come on leaps and bounds in recent years. I appreciate the limitations and flaws with them, but there are often work rounds.

I've a Tamron 50-400mm, which can focus pretty close. Insect photography isn't my big thing, but I like to record the creatures which I've encouraged to my garden as well as I can. I'm pretty pleased with this shot of mating Azure damselflies from yesterday.

This is the whole frame taken at 400mm, but shot in crop mode, on my A7V.



This is a screenshot of the processed pic at 100% in LR. By the way, insect recognition is great!

I previously shared a couple of grabs from the Viltrox 35 EVO
This from the Viltrox 55mm EVO

I've just found out today when in lightroom and using the crop tool you can press "o" to cycle through different grid lines and using shift + O changes the orientation of the grid lines, how did I never know this

Lucky escape until now I guess.
