A mix of wildlife, landscape and city photographs. Shooting exclusively with #Nikon.

Fun fact: I've 7 Samsung SSDs in this box now🤣!
M.2: 990PRO 4TB x2, 980PRO 500GB, 970 Evo Plus 500GB
SATA: 860 EVO 250GB, 850 PRO 256GB x2

Nothing's going to stand in my way of those 48 MP @Nikon RAW files any longer! Out with the old dual @Samsung #850PRO and in with dual #990PRO 4TB. Quite the upgrade!
Finally should be fast enough even for @Lightroom 😉

@AdobeCare In your mailbox, ty!

[simon @topografical]

I wish @Lightroom would sometimes tell us what it's doing when it suddenly lags/hangs and maxes out a CPU core for 2 minutes 😀

[simon @topografical]

It's a landscape challenge!

[simon @topografical]

If only those on #PulsePX can understand and follow the Quest briefs... 😯

[simon @topografical]

Oh no, another bird trip out for an hour, another 1000 photos and 32GB to look at 🤣! Let's do this! #nikkor #nikonz #z8

@GoPro It's okay, I have an RMA from you, just waiting till I get home to post it back...

[simon @topografical]

My @GoPro died on the way out, and my two @Samsung T7 drives are both broken for photo backups (writing is faulty)... make sure you take backup equipment!

On the other hand, my @Nikon is cracking on with 5k clicks added 😎

#rma time when I get home...

[simon @topografical]

Still love how #blackandwhitephotography brings things out just that little bit differently.

@malware_yml I bought a @Loupedeck!

[simon @topografical]

Great job everyone! https://t.co/yaMTS2jyXw. 7,920 species identified - 642,003 global participants, wow!

See you next year, @Team_eBird (okay, I'll do some checklists before that too!) #bird #gbbc @Cornell

@enturbulator @Coffee_AliVe_ @SashaMTL @kortizart Incrementally getting the "finishing touches" done is where the hard part usually lies. There's so much to do on this video to make it right. I think it'll get stuck around this level for a long time.

Welcome to the #weekend! I'm off to shoot some #birds!

[simon @topografical]

I enjoyed a nice morning at Mt Davis in #HongKong... let's say, forest #birding is hard! 🦅

You hear more you can see, and easily see more can you can photograph.

Needs a lot more practise, and luck. But that is all part of the photography journey.

But you do get a good walk!

A #Weddell #Seal takes a snooze in #Mikkelsen Harbour (63˚54’ S, 60˚47’ W) as our expedition group explores around. Seen on our first landing in #Antarctica! [Jan '23]

Now go look up how this photo is taken 🤣

[Cathay Pacific @cathaypacific]

Famed as a tropical paradise all year around, Bali is more than just dreamy coastline and sunlit beaches. Visit Lempuyang Temple and capture the theatrical views through the Gate of Heaven!

@FY4Chan Two more, but then again, they do get around just about everywhere in the city here in #HK don' they!

[simon @topografical]

@admired_art Old one, but absolutely leading!

Since this was taken in 2012, the Tohoku Shinkansen (#東北新幹線) joined with the Hokkaido Shinkansen (#北海道新幹線) with service extended over to up to Shin-Hakodate since March 2016.

[simon @topografical]

Sad #birding reality... even at #840mm, the birds are small and far away...!
