Nowt wrong with these pictures - very nice! The first night shot - I love the backlight ( light pollution? ) illuminating the treeline. The moon is much sharper than my shot but so it should be thanks for sharing these excellent shots, enjoyed them.

Last night the sky was was clear for a change, so I had a play in the back garden. K1 mkII, moon shot with DA*300 and TC 1.4 WR, star shots with DA* 11-18 f2.8.

1. Waxing crescent (heavily cropped);

the following two were only changed by using the 'dehaze' function, which resulted in a deeper blue - but I quite liked it, so here they are;

4. with the 'haze' not removed;

5. haze removed;

Thank you for the comment, I did tweak up the contrast somewhat as you say an ordinary pic, just out walking with SWMBO which is almost daily - weather permitting. To go back in better light would be a proper photo-shoot and that requires a pass out card from the missus. oh and I might get wet feet! Tide was out around 1:30 pm.

Yesterday's walk I heard then saw dozens of these Toads, which I believe are Common Toads. All very busy mating, sounds varied between typical croaking frog-like to an almost bird-like call/squeak. KP and DA* 300 f4 and TC 1.4 WR.

Freshly cut logs are part of a scheme to loosely dam the stream to slow the water especially in the coming summer, funded I believe by a grant from the Government.
