An ice storm this week damaged a lot of our trees, even turning one of them into a monster!

At a rather desolate Orange County (NY) Arboretum last week, in the dead spell between the last of the summer blooms and the start of winter festivities, I spotted a torii that was not there at my last visit. Everything was dull and muted around it, so I did the best I could to get an...

From my day practicing color select at the Colored Cemetery:

Hey hey, thanks very much all! ALL the pictures were great this round, congrats to everyone who entered :encouragement: And a HUGE thanks to my wife, who doggedly sat as still as she could on a freezing motorcycle inside a 20 degree garage whilst her husband focused on successive rows of...

This week's Photo Challenge was "Color Select", something I'd never tried before. I knew my camera (D5500) had that function available in the "Effects" dial, but I'd also read it could be done in Post Processing. I decided to compare the two methods to see if there was any difference, and...

November 17, 2019 D5500, 9 photo stack, NIKKOR 18-55mm @ 26mm, f/4, 1/30th, ISO-400 And yes, those are all hers :)

Edit: I can't figure out why my Exif data didn't post again. Twice in a row now. I took this shot with my D5500 just an hour or so ag. Nikkor AF-P 70-300mm at 300mm, f/7.1, 1/4 sec, ISO 100.

EDIT: this is really weird. My picture looks all broken up here. Nothing like it looked on my monitor before I posted it, and nothing like it looks on another site where I posted it just to see. Does it look really horrible to anyone else, and I mean horrible? (If it does, none of you should be...

If anyone is going to be around Northern New Jersey in mid-November, Unique Photo is holding their "Nikon Takeover" event the 15th thru the 17th. You can bring your camera body in for a body and sensor cleaning, and attend classes - two hosted by Joe McNally. The classes aren't free, being 20...

Our weekend breakfast nook:

Took this for the the weekly Macro competition: But I decided to go with this one, just because it's prettier. It's a detail of the 6R15 movement in my Seiko SARB-065 "Cocktail Time" watch. This area is roughly half the size of a dime: I tell ya, that Nikkor 40mm Micro is about the best...

edit: I don't know if I haven't waited long enough or what the problem is, but my Exif data is not showing up for me when I hover my mouse. If it's not site lag, I took this with my D5500 about an hour ago (Monday 10/21), Nikkor 40mm Micro, f/2.8, 1/40 second. I sometimes see people post a data...

I just found out about this feature today, via a video from Anthony Morganti. Sure seems a lot easier than manually exporting your pics to a separate site. Does anyone here do this?

We see the odd Bald Eagle around here but they are certainly not common, and whenever they're spotted it's always over one of out lakes. So I was actually quite startled when I walked out my door this afternoon and saw one circling over my house deep in the woods. They're not great shots, as it...

Yeah, a lot of people chimed in with pretty much that exact same advice, lol. Guess I made a pretty rookie mistake, huh? Oh well, at least they paid for it :encouragement: I did actually do a setup kinda like the istock example you posted for a few of their other bottles. I don't have the...

Hi Nestor - I understand what you're saying, but my own definition of "abstract" differs somewhat from yours (unless it's a translation error on my part from what you've written). I agree with your definition that "abstract" is de facto not "representative". However, patterns and lines have...

Near my house is a working pre-Colonial historic farm. They still let the cattle graze in un-cleared woods, bordered by the original 17th c. Dutch stone boundaries.

These were the shots I took, and had to decide from, for the "B&W Abstract Weekly Challenge". This was really fun for me, as it's something I probably wouldn't have thought to try unprompted and it really made me have to think. So a big thanks to Woody for suggesting it! . . .
