Show Your Snaps...August 15, 2022

This is the weekly Show Your Snaps thread where we invite you to show your own snapshots or even choice pictures. I'll be sure to comment about your photos, if you choose to share.

When you are posting your own images please submit them as a reply to this post. Otherwise your pictures may be overlooked. You might also consider describing your pictures in the subject title. See my own photos for this week as a reply.

Remember it's all about the enjoyment of taking pictures regardless of what we have. We can learn from each other and it's fun to share too. Thanks everyone for your participation.

This is open to all camera systems and skill levels.

I don't know if this would be of interest of you all, but I thought I would show you all some photos of our trip this past summer from a moving car. I had to have a very high shutter speed and in a lot of ways it was difficult. But some of them turned out OK.

Photo No. 1 - Here's some ranch land seen along Highway 5 in Southern Oregon.  It's the dry season now, which is why most of the grass is brown.

Photo No. 2 - Another...in Southern Oregon.

Photo No. 3 - A photo of Mt. Shasta in Northern California.  This was taken through the windshield.

Photo No. 4 - This is the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, just south of Carson City, Nevada.

Photo No. 5 - Another....

Photo No. 6 - We arrived at Mono Lake.

Photo No. 7 - Also we saw the silver and gold town of Bodie, California.  The last three miles of the road was not paved.  You can see the mine tailings on the upper right side.

Photo No. 8 - This was taken between Carson City and Reno, Nevada.  This is Slide Mountain.

Photo No. 9 - Northwest of Susanville, California we saw sections of burnt forests.  In this photo not all of these trees were destroyed.  Some survived, as you can see there's still some green towards the top.

Photo No. 10 - I think this must have been taken in Southern Oregon again.  I hope you liked seeing a few pictures from the car.  It was a long fun trip.

Wow...cool...I like your egrets.  Is that a cattle egret?  It looks like the ones I saw at our zoo.  The planes look great with the clouds and mountains in the background.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the lens was one of the best purchases I have made. I got it on Ebay for a very low price.

With F9 it looks like you got the depth of field you wanted.  Good job!  That's great you are experimenting some.

Here's another one of my vacation photos. This was a sunset at Lake Tahoe.

Thanks.  Yes, it is hard.  Everyone should try it (as a passenger).  I push the shutter and then check to see what I got.  It's surprising how good some can turn out, but a lot of them are no good.  It's hit or miss.

That old house (built in 1620) must really look neat inside. That's a great looking photo of the bird in flight. I like the three flowers, seeing that in that way. I like seeing the last picture too. It's our way of visiting England to see what it's like.

Wow...cool...thanks for the explanation.  Now, you are going to be dinosaur hunter.

I've got a few more sunset photos.  Only this time they were taken in Oregon.  I hope you like these too.

Thanks.  The second photo is an optical zoom of the first photo.  You can see that the clouds are pretty much the same.  That Canon 18-135mm lens allows for this versatility.
