Here in BC, some people are very upset that other people shot all the moose, leaving no moose for them to shoot. (I know that's not a moose)

Not my best picture by a country mile, but i'm pretty sure it was a moose before I "shot" it and it was either in BC or close by in the Yukon.

I'm confident there were one or two left for others to shoot.

Some people are also upset that the wolves kill caribou, leaving no caribou for them to kill. My View? Leave the moose and caribou alone. Unless you are a wolf. And please also leave the grizzlies alone.

I think, Jamie, that it is more a case of reflective glass than cleanness. The birds tend to hit our windows mostly in spring and fall, something that perhaps has to do with the quality of the light. Last summer we were sitting on our screened porch facing the backyard watching a red tail hawk chase a blackbird. They were so busy in maneuvering and evasion that they smacked full speed with a huge bang into the screen puncturing it.

Crossed with a belgian sheperd. The real owners of the house!

Another one from my whereabouts. This is the area where I walk my dogs everyday and evening.

Awesome!

Thanks Gianluigi - much appreciated

It's handheld at ISO 10 000 hence a litte grainy - but I like it like that. Unfortunately there is a little bit of banding in the horizon after having worked a little too much on the shadows.... 

The Corbett Sgurr Dubh, nicely reflected in Loch Clair, Glen Torridon, this afternoon.

A couple of years ago a Perigrin Falcon took a pigeon in the air and then flew into my living room window. It sounded like a bomb going off and when I looked outside the falcon was sat with the pigeon in its claws glaring up through the window at me.  It flew off before I could get outside and left hundreds of pigeon feathers behind.

Lucky dog. Does he also take swims on top of the walking?

He certainly does - although he looks like one of those old ladies swimming with his head high to avoid getting his hair wet....

I'd like to be able to say that this was taken on a Leica, but it is just a snap on the iPhone SE, off the beach at Emsworth yesterday evening.

It may be a hollow platitude ... but they say the best camera is the one you carry with you!

That's a lovely photo Hungryhalibut! And Eloise is right, you don't need a Leica to take good pictures.  For most people it would be a hassle anyway (Leica M that is).

Hi Ewemon,

Just spotted this; almost identical to the picture I took of the same formation on the same night!  Was it taken perchance somewhere along the A96?

I took my shot from my back garden in Nairn so figure you must be close.

Cheers,

Ian

Artistic merit shines through, Leica or I-phone (or Kodak Brownie.........)
