With a touch of Oil Paint filter. For some things I just can't resist.

Yesterday's attempts at birding. I'm just not great at Birds in flight yet with the 200-500... It seems I'm always too late.

I find them easier to catch when not in flight.

Early this morning in the backyard. Shots are noisy, but I simply had no choice. When you look at the exifs you'll see what I was up with.

A bit of post-processing gave this shot a little more life than it had. I just used the available light that was way too soft. Oil paint filter applied in two different layers with different blend modes gave it life. This yellow is (I find) very difficult to process. Seems to me it just wants to live on it's own and takes off to full time saturation if not processed carefully. Fuji X-T2 with 23mm f2 prime lens.

Young wood pecker was learning life's rudiments in my oak tree this morning. I took the shot through the window.

Wednesday's morning pics in the backyard. Df with 180 AF-D 2.8, manual focus.

Nicely done! I have to get out my 180mm f/2.8 and use it. I had mine in my main bag for a while but put it away just yesterday. :rolleyes: Every time I see your shots with this lens, I get inspired. :)

I decided to do an all B&W day. Just to make certain I wouldn't cheat, I choose to shoot in JPEG only and used the Tmax picture control setting on my D810. All shots with the Rokinon (Samyang) 85 1.4.

Line was watering the garden and I just couldn't resist taking the Df with Sigma 105 macro out. In color this time.

These were some of my last July pictures. I have to open a new folder for August now but these were taken last night.

Lovely sunset.
