We stayed in an Air BnB on the banks of the Strine Reservoir and this was taken from the garden.
But yes, we walked the full loop and and also had nice drinks and views from Low and High Bradfield
Reservoirs looked very low!

You must have been at Brogging.
There’s an interesting concessionary path through the woods which starts at a stile across Mortimer Road.above the holiday lets.
The Bradfields are nice, and Farmers is a decent pint,

Thanks
It’s my daughter’s camera - Olympus OMD Mkiii she’s 14, I bought it used, nice camera - she makes some good pics with it.
- I shoot a Nikon z8 and Ricoh GRiii - worked v well as a light street/nature combo in Canada. My ‘bird’ lens is a 500pf which is compact, light and pretty much gets me enough distance for vast majority of bird shots, at decent quality.

Thanks! Your city shots are on the Ricoh GRiii then I guess?

Yes, not the sunsets, as I used filters on the Nikon for those.

Quite a statement from someone acquainted with 1980s metal.
I consider myself a connoisseur but the current Fat Dog renaissance accompanied by the weedy tache is something else.

I must confess - this specific image is taken by my friend Charline at Oxford Uni. A group of us have been taking photos of the ISS (when possible) and sharing results, methods and so on. Charline’s results have been quite astounding; I have some recognisably similar but smaller and less well-defined images.
For those that are keen, Charline used a Celestron Edge HD11 (11" diameter flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain) telescope fitted with a yellow filter (the filter makes a HUGE difference) and a Celestron X-Cel LX 3x Barlow Lens, mounted on a SkyWatcher EQ6R-Pro mount using SkyTrack satellite tracker software, and SharpCap to collate images.
I’m still getting to grips with my Meade ACF (Advanced Coma-Free) LX200 (just over 3000mm focal length) with a similar 3x Barlow, my old-but-gold EQ6 mount and Firecapture.
Some time ago, we had a small competition to see who could get the best pic of Musk’s Tesla roadster. Not possible now as it is almost on the opposite side of the Sun to us.
