Happy National Day of Gluttony America. Since y’all gonna be face stuffing today, I guess it’d be the perfect time to share a few shots from a couple of food photography speed gigs I did recently.





Detroit, Michigan, September 2023




It’s important not to judge yourself against others. They may be old hands so you feel less, or maybe it’s their first camera so you feel superior. That’s all bulls#[†. You must compare yourself only to yourself.-Jay Maisel #photogaphy #quote
A Unicycle on Patrick’s Street
April 18th, 2006 when the St. Patrick’s Festival was still a new thing and street entertainers entertained the population.
He was good on that unicycle. Didn’t fall at all.

Epcot Theme Park Fireworks
Fireworks at the Epcot Theme Park in Orlando in 2018 when Automattic hired out the place for a couple of amazing hours.

This stands in no proportion whatsoever with my previous telephoto lens. The colours are all there, properly balanced raw images where I have nothing much to do other than the usual clean-ups and slight contrast/colour enhancements to get a presentable result in #darktable... And my, being able to shoot handheld at the full 300mm without crazy ISOs in good light conditions and still get sharp pictures thanks to image stabilisation is such a delight!
TL;DR: I'm very happy with that lens and now am really looking forward to my vacation later this month without grieving over having only a pretty terrible telephoto...
From the lens to the pictures... I set out to catch the #sunrise over #Berlin, but I wasn't aware that the place I picked is so densely surrounded by trees and shrubs you have no chance of getting a decent view of the city, not to mention the sun rising over it. So instead I mostly got #nature shots of the local #wildlife - and that #hedgehog which I didn't notice until it started to be very vocal about its disapproval of me accidentally coming too near!
All shots made with my EOS 70D and the Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD.

New phone! My trusty Google Pixel 2A has started to bulge quite badly in the middle after about 4 years (it had a swollen battery, but it still works) so I needed a new one - I could have gone for the Pixel 7A but I wanted the better camera and it does not disappoint! The Pixel 7 Pro has 5x optical vs the Pixel 2A's 2x optical, but the digital zoom processing is much better on the 7 Pro.
First shot is using the 2A, zoomed in as far as it can go (7x digital zoom). The second is the 7 Pro at about the same 7x zoom - much better! The third shot is at full 30x digital zoom and it's pretty compressed and impressionist at that level as one might expect, but it's probably not bad for targets that don't have lots of small details. I'll try it out in the field soon and see how it goes. #Google #Pixel7Pro #smartphone #photogaphy

I've set up a Pixel account, currently hosting some of my 'legacy' images, for those who might like something different.
I'll update the gallery with more images as I get up to speed.
I particularly like the shower curtain, T-shirt and mobile phone cover options!

The answer to yesterdays #NameThatCar challenge or this case the remains of a car proved that even when the headlights are missing the shape can be enough for #WeirdCarMastodon to identify it! The car in question was a very sad looking Reliant Scimitar GTE nothing much seems to have happened with it for some time ☹️
Well done if you got it.

Behind the town of Seaside in Florida lies a lake which no doubt contributes to the humidity during the day there.
Early one morning I photographed this dragonfly resting on the fence on a small pier on the lake. The air was still cool, so the dragonfly was probably still sluggish until the day warmed up.

Very impressed with just how quickly some of you #WeirdCarMastodon folks correctly identified it.

Thanks to everyone who had a guess at my Easter #NameThatCar challenge for #WeirdCarMastodon I hope you enjoyed the different format.
The car was as a number of you correctly identified a Ford Model A, in very lovely condition. I guess anything that old is going to be very well cared for if still in use, even just for Sundays.

The answer to yesterdays #NameThatCar challenge for #WeirdCarMastodon was as guessed by a fair number of people...
A Triumph TR6, which some purists regard as the last "proper" TR. Being a TR7 fan I am disinclined to agree with that point of view.
It is a fine looking car, especially with the roof down.

For today's #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge it's back to a headlamp on a fairly modern car that is certain to be a future classic.

Yesterdays #NameThatCar challenge, which proved pretty tough,it is a 1967 Buick Special, its a Coupe but I will forgive you not getting that from a headlamp! The owner went for a heavy "patina" finish, not to everyones taste but I strikes a good balance. The interior was lovely. What do you think of this approach?

As the golden hour approaches, the sun illuminates a section of a wheat field, casting a beautiful warm glow across the landscape. In the midst of the field stands a single pole, which is illuminated by the soft light, creating a stunning contrast against the shadowy surroundings. The tall wheat stalks gently sway in the light breeze, while the shadows cast by the wheat blades create a mesmerizing circular pattern around the pole.

For today's #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge we have something different, part of the sideof the car. This is mainly as the headlights were just too distinctive. So let's see who can identify this sporty number.

It's another headlamp for today's #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge. This car is 1 of just 80 right hand drive examples sold in 70's in the UK so pretty rare, however the folks at

Got a lens from KEH the other day and it came with a surprisingly nice catalog, which is more of a brochure for their services and some awesome cameras. I don’t think I’m going to throw it out. They also included a sticker that went right on my film fridge! #filmisalive #photogaphy
