Though here is a 100% crop to keep you amused

For you, or your wallet, or your wife when she has spotted the 'upgrade'
That's the real reason I moved to The Photo Room - cameras and lenses are much easier to sneak past SWMBO than HiFi

Amen to that
That's how it's done! Lovely stuff.
So many great images on here.
In this time of lockdown I've been going through some photos from a holiday in Kefalonia in 2018

Pellucid, with a hint of Spring: twilight 6.00pm today.
straight 1/4 reduction from ancient iphoneSE
Struggling a bit with the Fuji X-E3 (it's clearly me, not the camera, as evidenced by @ff1d1l instant mastery of it). I love its ergonomics and the shooting experience is wonderful. However, I am struggling with the files. Let me explain...
Today, I had a lovely afternoon at Pegsdon Hills with my son / dog photographing a farmer ploughing his fields a tractor. The light was lovely, but the images are a bit.... lack lustre. Perhaps the light wasn't as good as I remember? Anyhow, wanting to express the beauty of the location, I found myself revisiting the archives for a shot from the same location, taken on a summer evening which I hadn't got round to processing. The reason is it's a full on sunset shot, and being honest, I fund these tricky to process. I finally decided to have a go. I tried to be as sensitive as I could, whilst remaining as faithful to the vibrancy of the scene. A tricky balance.

@Lefty,
Lovely shot. Clearly you are near the bit of the world I grew-up in; your pic just the other side of the A6 from one of my utterly-favourite spots for all sorts of reasons - the Sharpenhoe Clappers: an iron-age fort long-overgrown entirely by Beech trees. Sunday afternoons kicking through fallen leaves as a kid, later cycling out & round there on my own as a young teen for a bit of space ... and still.
..Still a/the place I find utter peace, whatever mood I am in, any time of the year & weather, & esp. whenever I visit my parents
ETA: two in response, 26-28 dec 2016:
My parents, who remain always in step with one another: a long walk round & past the Clappers, pictured over the far side of the hill descending towards Barton.
Dad - at Houghton House, two days later: Houghton House v likely the model for the House Beautiful in (local lad) John Bunyan's 'The Pilgrim's Progress'.

Small world - I know both Houghton House (I worked literally down the road from it for 8 years) and the Sharepnhoe Clappers well! I was feeling a bit down about being trapped locally for so long, but you have well and truly cheered me up - thank you!
I must get myself along to Houghton House. It's much busier than I am used to seeing it in that picture with your dad. A shame as it's a nice place.
Wonderful images.

Thank you.
But it's a bit of the world I've huge affection for still, the chalk escarpment and clay vales with the former brickfields below; cycling-out on the Downs from Dunstable and following the Chilterns via say Ivinghoe Beacon via Tring so -on out, south west into Bucks where the countryside pattern and interest continues.
Lovely.
When conditions allow - if you are that close and I'm likely to visit I'll PM you if I may; - a coffee , a chat and a walk with cameras would be ace; lets sort something out!

(& next time you feel out-of-sorts just go sit at the far end of the Clappers, on the high edge just inside the curtilage of the largest beeches; watch the vale beyond on three sides - yet just listen to the breeze in the mighty trees for a while.
It's only been that way for >>2500years.
Always gave & still lends me a deep sense of peace; in fact, just writing this now I can picture & feel it yet.)

YellowAnother from yesterday's outing to Pegsdon Hills.
You can just make out two Red Kites in the sky. At one point during our walk, there must have been around eight in the sky at once!
