Love the vibrant orange of the fungi. That is a fun find to share with us. Nasty weather here today. Hope I can find something half as nice!!
What?!?!? You've used the 85 for a portrait! At last! LOL. I have lately come to the conclusion that the 85 can indeed be used effectively for environmental portraits, which you've exemplified here very nicely.CP is the head barista and I captured him when he took a break from brewing coffee.
Great color contrast here.Went hiking today and found some orange fungi.
Day 15
Working indoor most of the day. This is a ceiling lamp in my girl's room and I like the shadows on the wall. Now 85mm is definitely too long here. This was as far back as I could go and I would like to have more of the patterns on the wall.

Day 17
Today I went further from home and took a walk along the harbourfront boardwalk. There were many people today walking, jogging, walking dogs, and some are fishing. It started to feel autumn with cooler weather, but unfortunately today was a bit cloudy and grey.

Day 19
Sunny Bay. It was in the past a quite remote place on Lantau, our largest outlying Island, for storage of floating logs. The business was in decline some 20 years ago and now there are only a few villagers living there, and these are the only remaining floating huts. To reach the huts, you need to walk on the floating logs. It was in the morning and I am facing east and I think B&W is better suited for the backlighted scene.

Another early morning street photo. I tend to wake up much more earlier than most people, but still there are already people working.

Day 21
Coming out from underground and going up an escalator, I saw lights coming from a window above and I thought it would make a nice image so I went down to take this photo. Not sure if it works.

Day 22
I noted the past few days were all B&W so I want to add some colours today.

Day 23
Came home late last night so I did the processing this morning.
We used to have gathering at a coffee shop every Friday night but it's suspended for over half a year because of COVID. Last night(Friday) we had a special gathering because one of the coffee buddies will be leaving and going to work in Beijing next week. CP is the head barista and I captured him when he took a break from brewing coffee.

Love it, especially the Citroen Coffee bar!
Thank you! I really enjoy walking the streets when most people are still sleeping and it's so quiet and peaceful.The isolation is effective. Nicely captured, Phil!
Nice shot Phil. Reminds me of airports on the many times I had to make very late night connecting flights going to and from work. This captures that loneliness perfectly.
Cool shot!
That is very good detail at 9K ISO with black paint work. The Zs sensors are impressive
Thank you guys. I have great fun participating in the Octoberfest.Cool shots, one and all!! I'm particularly drawn to your B&W images as they are very well done. This one of your car is also quite interesting.
Well done!!
