weekly Oy's Weekly Photo Thingiewotsit for 2023 : Week 52 : Fave of the year - Year Complete!

What a fun shot Dave, he looks like he's having so much fun.
 
Excellent shot.
Just reminded me how noisy our son was at that age - and quite a few years after.
 
I love this, it makes me smile. He's clearly having a great time. I love his hat.

Avocet Flyby - Conder Green near Glasson Dock, Lancaster.

Lovely shot Dave. Don't think I've ever seen one of those in the flesh.
 
Very nice shot, see you have taught that camera BIF shots as well.
 
The bin shot is great - just the right amount of detail showing inside that it doesn't jump out at you, but when you see it!

Sound is a lovely image, super clear and the sense of movement from the blurred BG adds. (Is he actually moving or is it just OOF BG)? Either way it works well.

Great bird shot in lovely light, catchlight in the eye and light through the wing feathers are lovely. Even before you get to that amazing beak!

Thanks Graham

Both for the BG in that shot - shot with the Nikon Z 105mm Macro.
 
What a wonderful shot Dave, I don't think that I've ever seen a bird with a beak like that.
 
Lovely shot and the angle really captures their amazing beak.
 
Week 26 : Watching

Watching the trains on the East Lancs Railway at Rawtenstall today.

Nice dof... of course your focus is on the train :D
 
Good thinking to snap everything at just the right time.
 
Really like this Dave. Love your focal point on the train and the out-of-focus people in the foreground.
 
Week 27 : Ripped /Torn and tech close up

"Damsel in distress"

This is what happens when you rip and tear a spider web! Lunch for Spidey!

Great focus and light on the spider. My only wonder is whether a bit more dof to get the damselfly more into focus would have worked? (I understand the difficulty of achieving this in practice with a moving object in the wild though).

Thanks - I was already at F/16 and the damselfly was too much closer even at F/32 to be in focus.
