Show Your Snaps...October 10, 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.

Right after vacation, I went to our annual fair in late July. We had beautiful sunny weather. Here's a few photos of people on the swings. I really don't know the name of this ride.

I brought my two mirrorless cameras with me, thinking that it would be easier to handle in the hot summer.  I did enjoy the lighter weight.

Photo No. 1 - I suppose it's like flying.

Photo No. 2 - It must have been nice on this hot day.

Photo No. 3 - In the air with the cell phone...must be a great view for taking pictures.  I'm not sure what it would be like.

Photo No. 4 - The ride was short.

Photo No. 5 - But long enough to have fun.

Photo No. 6 - Ah, let's see what's on the cell phone.

Photo No. 7 - The ride is coming to an end.

Photo No. 8 - We made it.

Photo No. 9 - Lower still....

Photo No. 10 - And almost time to stop....  I hope you liked the series.

Thanks.  If I have time, I'll show some more pictures I took at a different fair in August.  I've many other photos of similar activities.  It was a busy summer.

Thanks.  Yes, you are right.  People often are seen with their hand-held devices.  I've started noticing the cell phones more lately.  They are being used for photography a lot.  I see that all of the time.  I'm sure the camera manufacturers are aware of that.

I keep looking at the cell phone photography aspects closely with interest.  They have a long ways to catch up with us with our attached lenses, but they are narrowing the gap.

I do like that you are using video and are combining that with sound.  I have been taking more video lately.  Because I'm so picky with my composition, the mirrorless cameras are better for that (for me).  The reason is that I don't have one of those "sticks" yet and I can use the EVF.

I like your excellent photos.  The trees in your area look like what we have in Oregon (where I live).  They are just starting to turn colors.  I like your skills as a heron hunter. Yes, I have heard for a long time the Canon 7D Mark II was better for noise than the earlier Canon crop camera models.  When there's a lot of light (relatively speaking) with high shutter speeds, the noise is diminished (at least what I have observed).  But I'm not an expert on sensor noise.   I know the technical people like to discuss that; I just go by what I see.  That's a good catch of the cormorant.

Thanks.  Summer is such a fun time.

Most excellent!!!  You captured that very nicely with the fisherman in bright light.  It's a good contrast with the dark background and surroundings.  I look for situations like that too.  It's not just getting a photo of a fisherman, but looking for the very best one.  That is what you did.
