Texas spring...
First is a shot at Hamilton Pool, maybe 40 km west of Austin, Texas, USA, looking along the edge of a collapsed limestone hollow that is about 100 m across.

The wildflowers were only so-so this year, but we did have some. The Texas highway department seeds the roadsides to add color for springtime driving. Some of the patches spread into the surrounding fields, and of course, these are all natural wildflowers of Texas, so might have grown without any help from man.

About 70 km west of Austin is Enchanted Rock, a mound of granite some 130 m high and approaching a kilometer in diameter at the base. The little black dots on the granite dome are people. It's a good morning's workout to climb, unless one happens to be a runner, or something. I'm 68 and I was carrying more than 10 kg of camera gear. My own stupidity, perhaps...

Prickly pear cactus and Indian blanket are in bloom, now, the prickly pear just starting and the Indian blanket on its way out:

There's more on my Flickr site, needless to say.

(Oh, and I think the yellow flower shot has a lot of noise in the background. Maybe I ought to work to take it out. It was a windy day, and I'd boosted the ISO all the way to 8000 to allow a small f-stop and high shutter speed.)

All taken between 0900h and 1030h on 8 May. Piss-poor light.
Maybe not technically what it should be, but I prefer them with a few shadows. That's a really good shot.

Thanks. I like shadows too, for sure, but not the back-lit or side-lit kind. The Il-38SD shot shows the kind of light I favour for daylight shooting.

EDIT: Here's an example of overcast light. Same bird, same day, shot around 1100-1115h. When the whole image is light sort of flat, you can expose for shadows without blowing highlights, and then getting contrast to a more attractive level is less effort and also looks nicer than a harshly-lit bright sunshine shot. The image is a little cool, I haven't adjusted WB, just contrast to illustrate what I like about overcast shooting.

DTM Great Britain.

Only managed to visit on race day (today), so only had limited opportunities for shots since its a single race. Had lots of fun though, here are a few. Feedback welcome.

Such a shame they don't do the full circuit at Brands! Was it a good spectacle?

Totally agree. The cars are awesome to see and hear. Flame spitting 650bhp demons.

They really do deserve the full GP circuit. It was still worth going, a lot less people than BTCC or BSB though

Ooooh, that's a very pretty spot (and well captured). I'd love to throw a model on that rock

Did some video at a Sailability event over the weekend, managed to grab a couple of stills.

Also the first time I've got to properly try out my Cokin NDs, had the 154 and 153 in the whole day. Definite purple cast but nothing Lightroom can't handle.

Another wedding weekend. I tried something new this time by setting up a 3-flash improvised studio in the church's hallway for a quick bridal portrait session.
