A backup photo, shot a couple of days ago.
I've not felt very photographically inclined today, and haven't taken anything beyond a couple of fairly boring phone pics.

Exceeds Expectations

The weather over the last couple of days had been markedly better than forecast a few days ago.
I tried shooting these rather pleasing trees a couple of weeks ago, but wasn't overly happy with the results.
Today, the light and little bit of haze aligned almost perfectly with the look I was hoping for.

I got my EOS M6 Mark II back from a family loan a couple of days ago, so I've been playing with it again.
It's very small and neat in that a remarkably capable little setup with 5 lenses covering ultra-fisheye through to mid telephoto fits into a space roughly equivalent to the R5 with a single lens, but it is comparatively fiddly to use, and the viewfinder feels very low resolution by comparison.
Still a decent little camera though.

Quite pleased with this winter afternoon shot, taken on a post-lunch walk.

Today ended up being fairly busy.

This is a tiny bit of new growth that has appeared in the last few days on a small rose plant that I thought was completely dead.
It very nearly got binned last week, but I thought I'd give it a couple more weeks on the off chance. That appears to have paid off.
This one's a stack of 17 shots at 1.5x magnification.

Stand Tall Into The Longest Night

I went on a rather pleasant misty walk at lunchtime.
We came across another walker who commented "miserable weather" as he passed - this gave us quite a laugh, because the aforementioned weather was the express reason we were out to begin with.
I'm quite pleased with this one, the fog has really helped to isolate the trees from the background, and I thought the punchy black and white treatment suited it.

Thanks to @countryside_joy for the behind-the-scenes photo of me shooting the same trees from a slightly different angle, a couple of minutes before I took this shot (after the jump)
