Poser
I think this lizard fancied himself as a bit of a hunk.

Western Crowned Pigeon
A Western (or Common or Blue) Crowned Pigeon feeding its chick in the pouring rain in the aviary in Hong Kong Park. This shot was taken many years ago in pre-digital days with a Canon EOS3 and Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 IS L lens with negative film stock. The streaks are rain!

Leap of faith
A leap of faith – rather like the result of yesterday’s referendum, and equally misguided.

Darth Vader mushroom
The extremely rare Darth Vader mask mushroom of Le Gupole. Following on from yesterday’s shot, here’s the same mushroom – quite a small one, ~1 1/2 inches across – taken from a different angle.

Corso Italia
The Corso Italia runs uphill from the Via Roma to the Duomo. Mainly pedestrianised, apart from access traffic at certain times, it’s a lively street of shops and buildings several hundred years old. But at 1 p.m. it transforms from busy to ghost town: lunch!

Welcome to the revamped dgcPhoto site, complete with a new theme and a new look.
I’ve been rather busy with other things for a while, so I thought a makeover was more than overdue. I hope you like it.
In many ways, the site is the same as before except that with the new theme it’s easier to navigate and more efficient to load. And the layout is far cleaner.
I’m currently using two cameras: the truly excellent Canon 90D I bought several months ago that is streets ahead of any other camera I’ve owned over the years, and a Canon 100D that I’ve had for a couple of years — a really lightweight little workhorse. I am also using my iPhone SE far more than I expected. The latest OS makes it an incredibly versatile camera.
Keep checking out the galleries; the old ones have been reinstalled and new ones are being added.
What were the ‘other things’?
Check out ‘My Novels’ here or in the menu above where a couple of clicks will take you to the world of ClarkeFiction and details of my seven edge-of-the-seat thriller novels and my wife Gail’s wonderful fully illustrated children’s books.
