What's this, now? A photography section on my website? Yes, it's something I've been meaning to do since getting my new camera, and having a drive to want to do more photography in general. [1/3]

This is an advert in Wreckreation. There's many other innuendos and word play found with the adverts in Wreckreation. I've spent quite a bit of time just exploring this world, which is a nice drive.

Since I never transfered data to my Switch 2, the old data for Pokémon Scarlet remains on my old Switch. Which gave me the perfect opportunity for a new run before Legends: Z-A released. And so, I went for a birds only run. Many hours later, I've seen success, and this is the team that did it.

It's Halloween in Fortnite, with one of the best weapons found within the pool. Some absolute great kills made using this and the other melee weapons that are around with Fortnitemares.

Getting arty with some photos in The Crew Motorfest, which I loaded up for the first time this year. Exploring the new island that's been around a while. Which has been a lot of fun.

Along with ducks, geese, moorhen, and the pigeon, a few seagulls were around, too. The one pictured here on the lamppost had been swimming in the canal. Pretty sure its also the same one that divebombed into the water trying to capture a fish, but I wasn't ready to record such.

This second lot of the 12 includes a pigeon that decided to come say hello during the hour we sat at the spot. The baby moorhen never moved from the other side of the canal, so I was zoomed right in trying to capture them. Which, I eventually managed to get a closer shot of.

First lot of three from down on the canal today. Nearly all of them from just the one spot as I was sat on the grass with a friend talking. Always lovely to be watching the natural world, with these 12 being the best of the 75 total that I had taken.

Powerful weapons vs standard. With only a rock for cover. Things could have been very different had the rock been destroyed while I was restoring shields, but the decisions of both of us decided the match.

The perfect location for the final battle. Not much cover, but enough to guard against explosives. Until I show myself ready for the final shot. A very classic fastest finger on the trigger providing a very tense yet satisfying end.

Enter a threeway fight well prepared to deal out the final shots. Do love a good shotgun run.

This one's from last week, and not a victory, but I held out so long! Revertig them from beast form and almost being victorious in the fight. These superpowers have been so fun to fight with and against. I'll miss the crazy antics they allow for when they're gone.

Only been able to grab the ability to play as Superman twice, but I'm happy that during my second time I survived as him long enough to claim Victory Royale. He's certainly powerful, making short work of the ground boss at Demon's Domain.

This little bird and another like it were in next door's front garden earlier. Happily grabbed my camera and snapped away until the flew off. Though with how much I had to zoom in and how little support I had, these were the best three.

Well, this is fun. Don't think I've ever seen a kart racer that allows you to set 100 lap races up in free race. Nice going Ed & Edda: Grand Prix. And with the ability to turn items off too, it can very much be turned into a proper endurance racer. Think I might explore the possibilities of that.

Oh, I'm so in love with Pokémon Friends already. Lots of little lovely puzzles to complete, and lots of lovely plush to collect. Already made a start on the Eevee collection, too.

DJ Pikachu concert before the Presents has been great so far! Plenty of remixes of familiar themes, and many dancing Pikachu. Along with one that is somehow sleeping through this rave.

Just seen this on Instagram. ELO having to cancel the finale of their Over and Out tour must be tough. Especially as Jeff Lynne was giving it his all in Birmingham last weekend. An outdoor venue such as Hyde Park would have been a much better final live performance. Best wishes to Jeff.

Had a few more great victories in Fortnite last night. While I won't post them all, I just had to show this one off. Having already blasted Peter Griffin in the face through a window (wish I'd have captured that, too), I then run towards the action I hear, taking out the three remaining players.

Along with the animals, I tried my hand at some nature photography, too. Which is where I found the autofocus sometimes not willing to work. Fair few shots became blurry 'cus it was setting the focus depth wrong. Butterflies are so skittish, it was fortunate I found one willing to stay still.

New camera, more photo opportunities. And naturally, I'm straight to the canal and Leasowes Park to test it out. Though to start with, I kept things fully in auto. Which did mess up a few shots not included here when darkness suddenly became bright. Another set of four in the comments.

New update for Wreckfest 2 brings in the Motorhome! Not used it myself yet, but it sure is fun seeing it on the track. New oval track on the dirt is fun, too. Especially doing a figure-8 for the carnage of that crossover point.

Grabbed from Exophase for a top three. Simply because... that's a lot of GTA V.

...but three victory royales. In a row. As my first three matches on the Switch 2 version of the game. I was super surprised at that. Naturally, I didn't get any more during that session, but I sure came close a few times. [4/4]
