The most amazing wildlife moment I ever experienced
I know the title sounds very clickbatey, that wasn’t my intention but it wasn’t a exaggeration. On Wednesday morning, after finishing my night shift, I decided to hang around in the farm fields behind my workplace. I found a nice spot to sit down at the edge of an open field and I was overlooking reeds at the edge of the field (behind them flows a small stream of water). So I decided to sit down in the freshly cut grass and wait to see what happens ... and surely enough after about half an hour waiting I see something orange with pointy ears coming out of the reeds. At first I though put it was a cat from one of the farms behind me, it was barely bigger then my two shoes put together, but after putting my big Oly E-M1 With the Panny 50-200mm to my eye and zoomed all the way in I realise:
A baby fox, no more then a year old I think. I tried to stand as still and quiet as possible, only moving to track. I was already at grown level, maybe 30 to 40 cm high. I put my camera in AF-C, Manual mode, 1/500 second, f 4, ISO Auto (fluctuated between Low and 250), Electronic Sequential Low of 6 FPS, Centre-Weigth Metering, Smallest single central AF Point, RAW only, Lens IS only.16Jul 12, 2019 at 9:09 AM -

Get Patched! Leather Workshop
Get Patched is the place to get your leather patches made and applied, or repairs made to your leather gear - they even do custom footwear, bags and lots more! With big name clients, including world-class stunt rider Joelene Van Vugt (who I watched with awe when she appeared in the TV show Nitro Circus), you can be sure your leather goods will be in expert hands. Our classic car club went on a cruise to meet Jan and Roy at their business premises in Apsley, western Victoria.
Figuring the workshop, situated in an former garage with south-facing (shade side) windows, would be challenging to shoot in, I took my GX7 and Canon FD 50mm f1.8 + Pixco Roxsen focal reducer.
I asked Jan if she could make me a hair barrette, based on one I took with me, and to my surprise she immediately grabbed a roll of thick, black leather and I had it in my hair in no time!
Here's the shop front, where they've screened the windows with perforated murals - from inside, you wouldn't know you're looking through a screen:
Looking across Jan's workbench, through the screens at the end window. Isn't that amazing?

Butte, MT at Blue Hour
I went driving around Butte. This city gets a bad rap for some reason, but Historic Uptown is very cool. The head frames, which are all former mines, are lit up in red, which really is an impressive sight.

The road to Nordkapp & back again
I didn't want to be too picture heavy in my Nordkapp thread, so here are some pictures from the way to and from. I have posted some pictures in other threads from this journey such as "Show Bridges", "Show Churches", "Show Roads and Tracks" and "National Park Photos", so I will not include them here.

July Photo Contest - The Road Less Traveled
July is a month for travel: the Northern hemisphere is in "vacation mode" for the summer. And while most people with mobile phones are interested in hitting the "Instagram famous" location I would like to see off-the-beaten path images, away from crowds.
The theme I propose is "The Road Less Traveled".23Jul 5, 2019
