Superb! Everything spot-on - soft, attractive and colourful backgrounds and the points of focus skillfully chosen with shallow depth of field. Every one a winner!

... and this time the full view! It's an "out and back" walk, not a circular one, but great views whichever direction you're looking!

Not iClouds, but real ones! A new experience and photographically quite challenging to avoid overexposure etc. K70 + DA 16-85. Do feel free to comment.

As always, I ended up with far too many photos to process. So, eventually, I've whittled them down to what I think are worth posting and grouped them by each day's walk. Feel free to comment, as always! All taken with K70 + DA 16-85. Hope you enjoy!

Loads of photos to process from over the summer, but first a few from yesterday that I couldn't resist. Hadn't seen a grasshopper in our garden for years and years until 3 turned up yesterday. Got pretty close to one in particular, that seemed to follow me round with its eyes as I tried to capture it head-on. Weird! K70 + Sigma and Tamron macro lenses.

What's left of the lavender is still attracting pollen seekers, too, but not enough left, I guess, to keep them still for long, so a bit blurry here and there, but I like the colours!

I find the first three very attractive - I could live with prints of them on the wall.
4 doesn't do anything for me; 5 and 6 make my eyes go funny!
All in all, I think that's probably a good "strike rate" for an ICM experiment.
Always worth trying something different - thanks for posting!

Great variety of subjects, all very well captured, from a favourite part of the world. That said, no. 5 is for me outstandingly good - great stuff!

We moved from the Algarve coast to Porto, which was completely new to me (and very busy!). First up: a few "tourist" shots which show how busy a place it can be, but also, I think, why it's so popular. All K1 + FA 28-105mm. All thoughts welcome.
1 Rather harsh daylight
2 Here too

4 Multi-purpose bridge over the river Douro, the longest metal arch bridge in the world when it was built in 1886

9 On the opposite river bank, the Porto "port" producing district
10 Similar to the first ones, but much softer light later in the day
11 Reach for the sky!

The mono treatment seems very appropriate in all three - lovely.
