Show Your Snaps...November 28, 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.

Last month at the Roloff Farm I saw these skeleton exhibits during the Halloween season. The weather was nice and dry.

Photo No. 1 - This identifies the Roloff Farm. Some of you might know that they have a TV show. I don't watch a lot of TV, so I don't know a lot about it...but some of you may know.

Photo No. 2 - Two skeletons in a wagon....

Photo No. 3 - Now seen closeup, getting ready to drive off.

Photo No. 4 - This is the same pair seen later in the day when we had more clouds. I liked it better when we had the sunshine.

Photo No. 5 - A fireman investigates the fire.

Photo No. 6 - While the other one tries to put it out.

Photo No. 7 - Now we see the same fireman looking at the fire again, much later in the day. They still hadn't put it out. You can see the late-day shadow at the bottom of the photograph.

Photo No. 8 - Here's another exhibit in a forested area. The lighting was very low. You can see how well this camera does with high ISO levels such as these.

Photo No. 9 - Again....

Photo No. 10 - And again....

Photo No. 11 - Scary...  It's not a skeleton, but I thought I would add it in with the series.  This shows how this camera does at ISO12800 with poor lighting.

Photo No. 12 - And my last one.... I hope you liked seeing these Roloff Farm exhibits.

Those birds are neat to see.  I really like the first one with the mixture of clouds and sky.

Thanks for the reply.  I shoot JPEG; the saturation is at 0 and the color tone is 0 for the camera I use with the Canon 18-135mm lens.  I don't like over-saturated photos.  I don't know if that's best, but that is what I use.

Thanks.  I don't know if those exhibits are on the TV show.  I did see the TV cameras setup one year previous, although.

Thanks for the variety of photos. Is that some smoke in the first photo? That's what we had during our forest fire season. Good capture of the bird; great to know that you are walking about in winter sunshine.

Yeah, it can keep us indoors...that's a good representation of that.  Sometimes I go outside and take pictures in the rain with my umbrella if it's not too windy.

Thanks for the reply.  We see skeletons so much, that it's not given a second thought by me or others.  But I can see how many things celebrated at Halloween are morbid.  I really don't like those either, but it's part of what I see and photograph.

I look at the celebration of the day of the dead as something more positive like life eternal.  Again, I agree...I like to see happy people and things of life...that's my preference over the morbid aspects of Halloween.
