We shall be downsizing this year, from turkey to a big chicken since there will only be two of us. Bloody annoying since our nearest neighbours are both widows, on their own and approaching 80. I think there will be some strong spirits passed over some front gates.
You've probably heard this one that's been doing the rounds, but you are still allowed 30 people to a funeral; just hold one on Dec 25th for your pet turkey which has sadly passed away. Just don't over cremate it!

Glad to hear that you are back up and 'running'!

Nice image above and some nice colours in the accompanying video!

It beats me why we make life so difficult. Rather than constantly changing the clocks why not agree to start an hour later if it's dark, or an hour earlier in summer? In fact, if we staggered the start time we could potentially halve the morning and evening congestion at a stroke.
Or to really mess things up, move the whole world 30 minutes into the 'middle' of the time slot and leave it there!

I think the B&W highlights more of the detail.
Agreed - but I also love the tonal Qualites in the colours of the first one!

Most wished for camera feature not invented yet - in camera ND filter !


Thanks
Not sure about the K3 or KP, but with K3ii and K1, you can simulate built in ND filter with the composite shooting function set to 'Average'...

This place is well hidden - even having been on Brownsea Island! Nice place to stay and some lovely images.

Also like what Nigel has done with the two tweaked versions; added a bit of subtle 'punch' to them without going OTT!

First for me - although agree that the crop on the second image shifts the focus away from the viaduct. Both images work

Nicely done Kris - your treatment suits the subject well IMO
