Good morning to everyone wherever you are in the world...
  • Please reply to my original post when submitting your own pictures.
  • That’s reply to my ORIGINAL POST when submitting your own pictures.
  • Give your reply a title.
  • Leave your guns and knives at the door. Keep it polite. There are plenty of other threads if you can’t manage that.
  • First thread kicks off Saturday morning (UK time).
  • Don’t add any photos after my ‘POST NO NEW PICS’ message (reasoning below).
  • Newbies encouraged, any standard.
  • Avoid wasting thread space with replies such as “Thanks n/t”
  • Try to avoid several posts of pictures with a similar theme. Put them all in the same post to avoid filling the threads too quickly.
  • Photographs do not have to have been taken this week.
  • Images are often more impressive when viewed large.
  • Pictures of ducks in the local park? C’mon, you’re better than that.
  • Posting here implies you’re happy to receive a critique of your work.
  • You can post links to external websites but people in here tend to ignore them.
  • Apologies if I don't reply to everyone. This thread is becoming more and more popular and therefore more time-consuming. So…
  • PLEASE TRY TO COMMENT ON SOME OTHER PEOPLE’S WORK. That includes YOU newbies…it helps to take the strain off of me a little.
***PLEASE NOTE***

We will start the next part of this thread before this one is full. At around 110/150 posts. This does not mean the current thread is closed, but please don't post any new PHOTOGRAPHS to it.
  • Please continue to post COMMENTS and REPLIES to any thread but when a newer one has been launched, post your new photographs to that.
  • The reasoning is that if you’ve posted a picture in an earlier thread there'll still be room for you to receive a comment on it later in the week.
  • It also prevents tail-enders in earlier threads getting no comments at all because the thread to which they have posted is full.

First time out with the 100-300mm. Fortunately, it arrived yesterday, 4 days early early, ahead of a visit by the Red Arrows aerobatic team. Just started on the learning curve with the lens but reasonably happy with results so far. If anything, although most of the show was circa 1km away, the lens was too long at its minimum, something I'm not used to as I'm more used to using the FZ330 with 24-600mm available. Any how, a few shots with minor PP and cropping.

Just back from my son's wedding in Vancouver, B.C., what a photographic wonderland. Took some extra time to see the gorgeous countryside and have lots of photos to process. I took this photo, the first shot just because it struck me as how far away from the city life we were. The follow up shots are what really surprised me

. They are basically snapshots but to me, it says some thing about living in the: "Wilderness" Please view in the large version.
 
Happy birthday Wormy. Another cool reflection on wet ground. You must love it when it rains. :-)

I always enjoy your mountain hikes .. from the comfort of my couch. :-)

Great views as usual.

Michael
 
I think you chose the wiser photo subject. That sunset looked ok, but I don't know what fascinated so many people.

I walk past a popular tourist spot everyday and it's maddening trying to get past them to and from work.

Michael
 
I like graphic look of the first and the peek between the buildings in the second. You have a nice open view from your office.

I think the first would be more successful if the featured silhouette had a more attractive shape. I like the view and perspective of the second. A tighter shot of a smaller grouping of the glass might be more interesting.

Happy Birthday to You, many more and keep those photos coming!!!!!!!!!:-)
 
I'd title it The Kiss. :-)

I have had some good luck with Peruvian Lilies in the past but almost always as cut flowers from a flower arrangement. These are live from a plant my wife bought for the pots on our deck. It was too dodgy weather wise when we got home for her to want to actually fill the pots, so all of the plants got bunched together, which gave me colorful background.

The goslings still look cute. We've been watching a couple of bald eagle chicks on a webcam from Washington, DC. They've been up in a nest for weeks. At least these goslings get to move around. :-)

I like the poppy shot also.

Michael
 
Cool. Very nice rendering from that lens.

Michael
 
That looks like fun, until you get home and track the colored dust inside. :-)

There was a festival with that colored dust in Jersey City two weeks ago and I saw a dog covered in the dust. The dog didn't seem the worse for wear.

Did you worry about getting that dust on your gear?

Edit: I see you weren't that worried. :-)

The lights on the Helmsley Building change from day to day, although I can't find a schedule for the colors or the reason the colors.

All of these views are from various spots along Park Avenue between 46th and 49th Streets.

I take photos as a hobby, and mainly during lunch break and after work. I work in city so the photos are usually street photos.





 Happily crossing the ring.

What is modern society? It's a place full of business people waring suits, with no sympathy for homeless person; And people who appear mostly on two occasions: streets during day as a homeless, drunker or casino during the night.

White headset line told me the silhouette is listening to something.

Looking for a lens with most beautiful bokeh? I'm taking photos at a wrong place - city is dark, full of dust, no lens can render it pretty.

I was wondering what your thoughts on that one would be.

My home work station is currently unbootable due to two bizarre problems mysteriously manifesting themselves just prior to me trying to install Windows 10. Very typical of how these types of things go for me.
