Thank you Julie.
I must admit that I was not thinking too much about the shutter speed at the time. The aperture was nearly fully open and the ISO was cranked up to the maximum value I am happy using. So I was happy that these images were not seriously under exposed and had little movement blur, if any.
As I explained to Piers, above, I think her hair was at the top of it's journey and probably almost stationary before falling back to her shoulders.
The Saturday morning walks around the lake make a pleasant change to my usual haunts! |

Thank you Piers.
I have rechecked the metadata the shutter speed of 1/250 is correct. The hair is slightly blurred in some other frames, and I can only assume that in this image her hair has reached the top of it's journey as is almost stationary before it falls again.
The lighting is natural lighting. This area could be described as open shadow. The actual sun is on "camera left." However the indirect light floods in from three sides and then is reflected back by the mirror. See the attached photo.
The new camera works well, but it has so many gizmos, that I doubt if I will ever use them all and appreciate the camera's full potential.

This is a lovely capture of a butterfly in flight!
Your timing is excellent, as you've frozen the action beautifully and maintained sharpness of the subject.
The contrast between the butterfly and the vibrant red flowers creates a striking visual impact, and the blurred background helps isolate your subject, making it stand out.
Another great photo, Well done.

I agree with Piers' comments, and maybe include a little more of the reflected water.
This is a striking image of a heron in a natural setting, and you've done a commendable job capturing it in its environment. The sharp focus on the bird's eye and the fine details in its feathers help make this a striking image. The stillness of the water provides a nice reflection, adding depth to the shot. You have done well to realistically separate the subject from the background. Well done

Piers, you have created an engaging image that showcases repetition and form. The black and white treatment helps to emphasize the pattern and the intricate wire design of the chairs, giving the image a strong graphic quality.
Your choice to convert to monochrome is effective as it strips away any distraction that colour might introduce, allowing the viewer to focus on the play of light and shadow as well as the geometric shapes. Also, your decision to capture the chairs at an angle, provides a sense of depth and perspective.
A great image. Well done!

This is another great image, Tor.
I like the composition with this majestic bird perched prominently on top the barren branches. It's relaxed but alert pose adds character to the image.
The composition is effective in that it places the bird off-centre, allowing the lines of the branches to guide the eye directly to the subject. I think you did well with your aperture settings as there is an impressive level of detail in the plumage. Well done! |

I like this image with it's strong industrial vibe. The interplay of geometric shapes, the contrasting lines, and the vivid texture of rust and metal are eye-catching. The lighting casts dynamic shadows that add depth and further emphasize the structure's form. The image is sharp and there is good detail. The colors are rich and saturated, which adds to the visual impact of the photograph. A great image, well done. |

A great image, Julie, and a handy addition to the abstract one of the same area you put up last month.
I like the way the "Gaudi" like shape of the walls and the ceiling leads the eye to the brightest part of the image and to the sole figure departing. It adds depth.
Maybe the image could be "warmed up" a little by moving the Lightroom temperature slider slightly to the right.
