Sometimes photographer, author (find my books on Amazon etc.), kayaker, and a few other odds and ends.

... I'm amazed I got the colours back and minimal camera shake too. Plus it's an old DSLR not a modern mirrorless high speed camera. And yes, if I had time to think I would have bumped up the ISO on the camera further, but I grabbed and shot before the hares took fright and disappeared. 6/6

...4. Sometimes You Get Lucky, Sometimes Lucky Gets You:
Photographed at night, without flash, lit only by a light over our patio door. Handheld, through the patio door glass at 1/30 sec, which gave an almost black image. I had to bump up the exposure by about 5 stops in Photoshop...

The plant pot is left over from a Father's Day present from Mrs. S. I should have thrown it out when the frost came, but am glad I didn't. The snow bunnies seem to like it...

PS for people who're not used to this: that's a baby machine. But I still love it. Also the four calling hens are scared to make a sound after they saw what happened to the French hens, and the nine ladies dancing in slush snow and ice did not end well either. #winter

How is this different from those who post their thoughts "about everything and nothing" all day long on Bluesky? The only difference IMO is the medium of expression. If the content is informative, both should be treated with utmost respect. (You could also give him his own Bluesky account.)
