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.

Very please with this single image of the #solar disc, taken with the #OM-1, 1.4TC, #300mm f4 Pro and some #Baader solar film. 1/1000 f5.6 ISO200
Processed in #Adobe Camera Raw, 1st one actual size, and 2nd one cropped for detail.
That's one enormous #sunspot :o

A couple of hours round #ScortonLakes this afternoon produced a few photos from the #OM1 #300mmF4 #TC14 @nybirdnews.bsky.social

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.

My photos of today's #PartialEclipse from #NorthYorkshire #OM-1, #1.4TC, #300mmf4Pro = 840mm equivalent at 35mm for those who understand.
With #BaaderSolarFoil in front of the lens.
All edited in #AdobeCameraRaw #ACR.

As promised, the video.
March 17, 2025 at 10:47 PM
The video.
As you see, there're collars (about a dozen) I've reported to waterbirdcolourmarking.shinyapps.io/sightings2/ which says they're part of an reintroduction program, and regular about the NE.
Sorry it's jerky, OM-1 + 1.4TC & 300mm f4 = 840mm equiv, hand-held. About 200Mtrs away.

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.

Thanks for sharing here, I've just discovered you're on here. Here're a few more images from that afternoon that I've processed properly on the computer.
I'm not sure if the cormorant is a normal UK one, I've just not seen those markings before

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 🙂
All 28 image stacks

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...

I was very fortunate to capture this #KelvinHelmoltz #KH #fluctus #cloud with a bit of #iridescence and #shadow #rays from #sunset on 22nd near #Topcliffe #Yorkshire as with most stunning formations they were gone in 5 minutes !

My first post here... there may well be a few more...
Just a few #photos of the #moon at #sunset whilst I was at #Ripon #wetlands for the #starling #murmuration - I can't post the best videos as they're too long :(
