All taken over an hour on 19th, on a small private fishing lake at Jervaulx Abbey.
For those that want to know, I used an #OM-1 with #300mm f4 Pro, either with or without the 1.4TC, and 12-100 f4 Pro. Using #ProCapture.

@nybirdnews.bsky.social a somewhat late report, for no reason other than I forgot, but a pair of cuckoo flew over Jervaulx yesterday morning about 08:00. Of course I didn't have a camera with me 🙄

@nybirdnews.bsky.social No photos as I don't have the camera for it, But I've just seen my first swifts of the year over Romanby, North Yorkshire.
This by my Reckoning is a week to 10 days early.

A wet Easter Monday afternoon, so I took some focus bracket images of the flowers my niece gave my wife.
OM-1, 60mm macro, available light, stacked in Helicon Focus 8, and processed in ACR.

Something like 100 barnacle goose at scorton lakes, North Car park on the two islands in the main lake as per this link maps.app.goo.gl/TqahUXxJYAAB...
Can't add a video to this post because it's the wrong format. We'll share later.

I have managed today to video the #sun with my OM Systems #OM-1 300mm f4 Pro and TC14 and #Baader foil.
I used #AutoStakkert! 4, and used the best 150 images to stack the image, then some editing and cropped in Adobe Camera Raw to produce this... I'm happy with it, but need more practice I think...

I luckily managed to capture the short burst of #aurora at 17:50 on New Year's Day with my #OM-1 & 12-100 f4 lens, 1s ISO 3200, edited on my #Pixel7 with the #PhotoshopExpress app

For fun, I went out round town this morning, with my #OM-1 and 12-100 f4 Pro to do a little focus bracketing, and put some extension tubes on too... then stacked the results in Helicon Focus... all hand held, and am quite happy with the results 🙂

This single #solar disk image with #sunspots through the #fog at 13:55 on 26th Dec, #OM-1, 300mm f4 Pro with 1.4x TC (equates to 840mm) 1/32000 @ f14 and then cropped in ACR.
I will video the sun using #Baader foil the next time I get clear skies, then I'll use #AutoStakkert! to stack frames...
