This was taken using pentax k-70 dslr, 105mm lens (150mm after crop value) and using a skywatcher tracker. 29 images, with various dark& and light calibration images stacked in affinity photo...

Took a bunch of shots around Brighton today, for some reason I like this one best. Taken from a bus after parking at my son's house near the Amex.

I have lived in Brighton for just under 60 years and I don't recognize places now....

Thanks. I did wonder .. not been along Lewes road since the developments. Really has gone crazy with all the developments for student accomodation.

Was pretty beautiful this morning on Eastbourne beach. SOOC as well except for minor cropping.

Had a play around with one point colour scene selection yesterday morning at Rye Harbour.
No post processing.

Also took this, and because the white background in the full sun was showing some heat haze effect, I've tried it in Shotwell and just pressed their enhance button.
To me, it's brought up some nice detail on the feathers and given a decent bokeh I suppose, but it possibly looks over exposed.

Edit: That heat haze is still there too

Those images are simply stunning! Gorgeous shots!

If you don't mind me asking, what equipment did you use to capture those? Also, did you have to wait in a hide or something to get them?

That bottom one point colour shot I just put up is bugging me now in terms of composition. If I'd have just lowered the camera a tad I'd have got the full weather vane on top of the church in the reflection too. As it is, it's chopped off and so ruins the picture a bit for me.

Marvelous scene! Almost turns it into a cactus.

All those pictures immediately above look lovely and sharp. It's good fun playing around with photos.
