zxzoomy Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 A bus conductor looks on as a customer gets off a vintage bus which has 'Manchester Corporation' text on the rear in central Manchester, UK. To celebrate 200 years of buses in Salford this month, the Manchester Transport Museum put on the ‘Omnibus‘ event, including a free bus ride from central Manchester to the museum on this 1939 AEC ‘Regent’, Salford 235 bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Yesterday I was stuck in stand-still traffic while trying to get home after a shoot in Virginia. Not a great picture but I asked my son to grab my camera out of the bag on the back seat and I snapped one frame of the headquarters of a major U.S. financial corporation, Capital One, in McLean, Virginia. Hopefully it will sell to offset the extra gas I had to use...it took an hour and half for what should have been thirty minutes to get home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitJames Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I have a couple for once in a much larger town near me, had an opportunity so I took it. Also I don't know why I have to go through multiple steps to get the URL of these unless someone knows a quicker route... I might have improved since December 2023 but I'm still figuring out better tagging since I have no CTR at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just a bird on a stick. (Like mine) Even the red-eared slider is swimming. Edited April 25 by Betty LaRue 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coyotes is a different story. Spent another month to bring this girl to the stage where I could photograph her manually, with a short lens, combining flashes with long exposure to show the stars.

One thing about it. Whether they license or not, you must like the out-of-doors & nature, or you wouldn’t be taking these images. When I was more able-bodied, that was me. I love to fish. I love catching fish. Whenever I’ve sat in a boat or on a bank, I don’t feel it was a wasted excursion if I don’t actually catch fish. I just love being out in nature. Watching fish leap, gulls swoop, and Great Blue Herons or egrets wade & fish. Didn't much care for the Mayfly swarm while fishing off a bank in the dark, though. Hundreds of those soft bodies hitting me in the face & everywhere, leaving their juices behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For decades of my life and career I was doing field expeditions, related to wildlife, sometimes quite tough. And I was so happy (and busy, actually) with that job that did not pay much attention to photography. But I lost all that a ~decade ago, am now just a laboratory rat and a weekend photographer-hobbyist.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvallee Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Since the invasion of South American Fire Ants (Solenopsis sp) in Australia seems to be in the news almost on a daily basis, I thought I would upload a few shots of my unfortunate experience with them. I have avoided to show you gore, but if anyone is curious about the damage they inflict, you can search for 2X3B774 after the search engine update. Yes, that was me in the photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't able to see your photo of the fire ant damage yet Gen, but it sounds awful. I hope whatever was done is healing well. I have heard about them being a problem over there. I think I might stay and hide over here in WA 🙈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their tunnels are up to 30m long. They all come up after the rain. Their bite is painful and the blisters are very itchy and painful. They last a week. You don't want those ants in your garden, I can tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you mentioned it the other day I had a quick check just to see where they have been in Australia and I read that they did appear in WA in Fremantle in 2019 but were eradicated. I can imagine with some of the rain over east they would have been quite active recently. I hope the bites you had are well on the mend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if QLD is losing the battle. My bites have all healed now thank you, they weren't a pretty sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
