Monkey

Tremendous detail a worthy winner, Well done 

@Fogey finally its clean ive had an absolute nightmare with using up 2 dry kits eventually had to get a wet kit and it took 3 goes with that 

Nice peaceful spot for the dogs, ours would love somewhere like that but im sure they both would either be off hunting small furry things or in the water

I agree  ...  but the quality  of the image  will be sufficient for  all those people  who only ever want to see the image displayed on a monitor or phone ...   

I did this one on same iphone early this year and had it printed and framed 18 x 12 inch and it looks absolutely fine. but i dont think you could go much larger,  Mine is around 12 million pixel but the iphone 14 is 45 million pixel and said to be even better so i would expect there ok for some stuff but they wont replace most of what i shoot being fast action stuff< thats where they suffer, Also did a friends dog and this as you can see is extremely detailed 

Took camera on this mornings walk

How would you gee a shot like that?

There are several places in the UK where military planes train doing low level flying in the valleys. This one is an RAF Texan based at RAF Valley on Anglesey its one of the 1st type of plane new pilots would train in. We hike up the mountains to get above them to create these type of shots. Ive spent many hundreds of hours up these hills in wales and the Lake District photographing the RAF USAF Belgium airforce and others, This is my favorite type of photography and i have many thousands of images from up the hills. It can be dangerous as the paths are very steep and rocky fall backwards while going up heads lands on a rock  ? many a broken limb or ankle has been had up there, ive fell a couple times but luckily on soft ground, Not been up as much since covid as had lot of back issues so only managed 3 visits in last 3 years. usually do a dozen or so 4 day trips a year. I got a call this day telling me the texan was due so made a swerve of our route to see it.

Nice capture, have you seen the Via Ferrata up there? We used to go up to Honister pass on the motorbikes, stunning landscape.

Thank you, And yes we have heard about it but unfortunately i suffer a lot with a couple prolasped disc among other lower back issues and that would be a bit too much for me Although when im having a good period we do hike a lot when in the area 

Graded grains make finer flour ............ Wonderfull image and does spark up memories

Do prefur the mon version 

Whilst in North Wales last week just had to have a quick run up the hill for this Texan (more like a crawl lol} Jayne waited in the car with the dogs

It is we went for 4 days.

If your in or around this area again try the copper mine on the Orme very interesting it was it dates back nearly 4000 years and when discovered a few years ago changed history totaly with what we believed to be the copper age 

Very nice, Im a big fan of long exposures especially on water
