Challenge Nifty Fifty challenge 2025 - July - Image Thread - Pareidolia

[Gav.]

Hi All

Theme - Pareidolia.

Rules..

• Images must be taken in the month of the theme and posted here before the end of the month.
• Images taken at the Nifty Fifty focal length on full frame or the equivalent focal length on crop bodies, ie. Canon 1.6 crop body plus 35 prime or 30mm on zoom etc.
• No lens modifiers, this is about the purity of the Nifty Fifty FL and being close to the human eye.
• Tiny crop to straighten allowed, try to keep the image as close to what the lens would see.
• Cropping to new ratio, ie 16:9, is allowed, but please keep to full width and as a last resort, it is about the purity of the view from the lens above all else.
• The theme will be posted on the first of each month, in the title bar of the image thread.
• Shoehorns, even Lube and Crowbars are allowed to squeeze into the theme
• A poll will be added at the end of the month, (just for fun, no records will be kept).
• Please list gear used.
• Open to all, no sign up required.
• One entry only please.

Images only - Chat link here.

Don't think I'll be winning many votes with this, but it's literally the only thing I've seen this month that suits the theme.

Premier Inn door handle; I always think they look like a slender gentleman with a dummy (or pacifier if you prefer)
Fuji X-T4 and XF 16-80mm, set to 35mm.

Neptune looking over the water in Foggintor Quarry, shot on Fujifilm GFX 50S at 64mm (near as dammit to 50mm equiv).

I nearly fell over when I saw this . . . it was in a tight space so my new to me Canon EF 50mm 1.2 @ 1.2 AF was perfect for the task. SOOC.

The queens head. (like a stamp) Canon 7d 17-70 Sigma lens at 37mm F5.0 at 1/64sec 200 iso. I had the lens turned to 35mm but I think it crept a bit while I was holding the video light..
