Show Your Snaps...August 22, 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.

While traveling on my summer vacation last month I was fortunate enough to have the time to photograph Mono Lake. It was a cloudy day with some sun, so I got a variety of interesting images. I hope you like these.

Photo No. 1 - Just before we got to Mono Lake I snapped this photo from the car.  This is the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada mountains that still had a little snow.

Photo No. 2 - When we first got there in our car, I was disappointed with the lighting.

Photo No. 3 - But some sun came out for a few moments.  That's the same tree.  Can you see what difference sunshine makes?

Photo No. 4 - Well, here it is...Mono Lake with a combination of bright sun and shadows.

Photo No. 5 - I took this path.

Photo No. 6 - And continued towards the edge of Mono Lake.

Photo No. 7 - Shadows again...but it still was neat to photograph.

Photo No. 8 - There were interesting formations.

Photo No. 9 - Some of it looked like blocks of ice, but they were not.

Photo No. 10 - Hey, I even got a BIF.

Thanks.  Yes, the ninth photo was quite different and interesting where the pieces of salt looked like ice.

Ah yes...Scotland...what a nice place to be.   I really like the first photo with the clouds.  You captured the moon and the clouds quite well in the last two pictures too.  You must have lots of vacation (holiday) images to post process.

I still haven't reviewed and processed all of my vacation photos.  I was gone for two weeks.  Then I came back to Oregon and continued taking pictures.  I have too many.

Thanks.  I have more that I may later show.  I had an interesting display of light.

Cool.   The wild turkey looks great.

I'm a little "jealous" but I already have five cameras I'm using currently.  It has taken me a while to get used to the two mirrorless cameras.  I do like that they are lighter.  For video, I really like the mirrorless ones.  I can use the viewfinder with the 55-200mm lens and get really nice results.  In the menu I was able to change the video on/off button from the tiny one to the big shutter button.  That was a huge "game changer" for me.  See if your R7 is set up the same way.

We can't wait to see your R7 images.   What's neat about the R7 is that it has a built-in viewfinder.  I didn't like the add-on option that came with the Canon M6 MKII.  Did you get the 18-150mm lens with it?

Thanks.  I really enjoyed being on vacation where I could find these interesting areas to photograph.  This is the dry side of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
