I had no problem finding a spot at the beach this afternoon.  Was not crowded at all.

Wondering (wandering) around in the forests, one comes across many critters; deer, squirrels, birds, foxes, bobcats, trolls, twigs... all sorts of critters. But Remember The Tin Man. He too is out there, The Heart of the Forest:



The Heart Of The Forest is currently roaming around The Bernheim Forest and Arboretum in Kentucky, USA.

I discovered this unmarked government installation today.  

This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds.
We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side.
The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person.
The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.

I popped by my local camera store to check out the GRX100RF today.  They let me put my SD card in it and snap some pictures.  I set it to ACROS and snapped these shots of the salesman.  It's easy to see what camera brand he likes.

Very close up—it's only 1 ⅓ inches wide.  First light in the forest.  
Hand-held.  Carrying a tripod around on a hike would not be enjoyable.

It's that time of the year alright. 

OK, they aren't real.  It's a shark exhibit at my local museum.  
Very dark in there—I had to rate the ISO at 6400 and 8000.

These are extremely interesting.  I've never seen some of these types before, especially a wooden one.  I'm going to contact them.  
Thanks for the info.
