You might say you went "ladybirding"?

What a great image. I love it.
-
Fascinating to see the sun like this. Makes you really want to sit and study the images.

#2 of the revisit set is fantastic. The texture of the wet sand with the reflection from the sky is magical.
-
I love the first one. The grey skies really give you a foreboding feeling that they're flying into the storm both literally and figuratively.

It's a interesting idea, but I'm afraid it looks a bit superimposed to me. You might get a better effect with tighter boundary between colour and mono.

The light coming through the wing is wonderful.

Update on Suggestions for rejuvenating the Forum JANUARY 2023

On the topic of outages. I noticed it was unavailable for a few minutes about an hour ago. For the Admins, it looked DNS related. $ ping tipf.co.uk ping: tipf.co.uk: Temporary failure in name resolution $ dig tipf.co.uk ; <<>> DiG 9.16.1-Ubuntu <<>> tipf.co.uk ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached -
I think the cat makes it. He/She is an unexpected element that adds a little extra piece of interest.

I'm on the look out for a Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens for somewhere around the £100 mark. If you have one to sell then please get in touch. Cheers, Tim

Poor uptime can affect your standings with search engines such as Google and the like. A site that is often unavailable will be deemed of low quality and its ranking adjusted accordingly. -
Thanks. I don't have a macro lens so used a 50mm prime and cropped the image. I'm sure a macro lens would have produced a better image.

Update on Suggestions for rejuvenating the Forum JANUARY 2023

I like this forum, and my participation is roughly in line with my enthusiasm for having a "proper" camera in hand (rather than just a phone). I'm not one for sharing photos on Instagram and the like because it feels a bit self promotional and I'm not in it for self promotion, but I'm comfortable sharing here because I feel like the members have a genuine interest in seeing other people's work and having honest discussion about the parts they do and don't like. I think that process benefits everybody, author, participant, and observer. The future of a forum such as this, or any online community, is steady influx of new active users so it'd be worth thinking about ideas that might attract new users. People need to know that TIPF exists, and need to have a reason to join in. Simply "more members" isn't enough, you need more actively participating members who share the motivations and values of the community. We all like the vibe of the forum but would like more of it. I really like the idea from MattGrey about submitting what the community consider their "best" images to Amateur Photographer Magazine. It'd be a great hook to get people aware and interested in the forum and would add an element of credibility to the forum. If not Amateur Photographer then something else. The pattern could be to start publishing our best work outside of the forum for more eyes to see and start putting out the word that there's this super friendly forum who are producing some really top notch imagery and everyone is welcome to join in. If you're to engage with new young members then perhaps some technical things can be done to make the forum more accessible to them. For example the ability to post photos directly from their Google Photos, Instagram, iCloud, etc etc. -
Afternoon everyone! It's been a while but like to drop by every now and again. I gave myself a little challenge today to photograph something interesting without leaving my office to find it.
