Week 34 Theme: Extreme I am behind a week or so because I got something in my eye (welding slag, I think) and had to have it removed. The Doc said no TV, Computer... for a week. I am just now getting things squared around and feeling like grabbing the camera. Anyway this picture is the...

It's been sometime now since I was able to post something. (It's a long story that I will probably post in my 52 section). Anyway................. I almost thought I was a day late, and then realized that today was the cutoff, so here are some of my kitchen creations (another of many...

Week 33 Theme: Lock(s) The first picture is a typical setup out here in the wide open country. Locking a gate so many have access is accomplished by cutting a link of the chain and adding your own lock. Each person then has access using their own key to their own lock. Ha! Must be that...

A good example of a long lens on a 5300 getting good results is @wev. He has a Tamzooka paired with a D5300 and gets fantastic results. Of course I don't know if this is typical, but it is one of the good results. I have the 70-300 on my D5300 and it usually does ok. Sometimes I wish it...

I think this one was taken in the submission time frame. (I like the UTC time system better. It doesn't change for me and no guessing if you missed the countdown clock. Ha!) Charlie flying around the property. All four "in the air."

Week 32 Theme: Through a Window I almost thought I was late for the 52 (See previous post). This is looking out one of my windows. It is HDR'd, PP, etc. I have to learn how to get things straight with the camera. I found it hard to get a good centered perspective and still get the scene. Ha!

Week 31 Theme: Fast A picture of Charlie running at dusk. I was lucky enough to catch him in the air with all four. Too bad it was taken too early for this weeks challenge, I think. With the new timing on the challenge, I will have to check. Ha!

August2015 Assignment: Beach Scene or Vacation This month the Assignment is Beach Scene or Vacation. Maybe you don’t live near a beach (Like me). No problem. Shoot some vacation photos, or make something up. Let your imagination run wild. Don’t take a vacation from shooting, just take a...

Thanks @Needa for your suggestion, but I already entered another photo in the weekly challenge. I will admit that the rake photo was one I was also leaning towards. I too felt it was high in my efforts toward the "Minimalist" theme. Ha!

donaldjledet and blacktop should know what this is. :D

Some Minimalist attempts. Trying to decide if any are good enough for this weeks challenge.

@Wilensky I see now what you were talking about. Yes I don't know what the 5300 came with on default, but I remember changing it. I think I changed it for the color scheme in the graphics instead of like your right side above. That was about a year ago. Ha!

@donaldjledet Lower right side of task bar. See #29 All it now says is that I will be notified when my copy is ready for download/install when I check on status. I had not had the reserve icon until today.

I haven't entered any of the weekly challenges for a while so... Even though this one is not anywhere close to the caliber of photos that have already been submitted, I am going to post it with the idea of supporting the contests/challenges, which keeps me on my toes.

I tried playing with RT for processing the first one in the Rock Theme again to see if I could figure out RT. Ha! Here is the result. I think I like my original better. Ha!!

On an evening stroll, I noticed a swarm glistening in the light of the sunset. I took a quick shot just to see what I could get. I used BB focus and locked on the mesquite leave that were in the closest proximity of the ever moving swarm. Here is what I got. It turns out that when I zoomed...

This house is located at the base of "Three Sisters Peaks" which is a few miles from me. The house has been vacant and abandoned for years, but it just seemed to really stand out yesterday afternoon. I have always enjoyed the openness of the area with the one lone house in the middle.

On my walk yesterday at dusk, I noticed a truck off in the distance. It just provided an interesting perspective to me. (It is one of my trucks that is a future project, so I really didn't discover it. Ha!) Chevy Truck

Week 29 Theme Rocks This is a place called Texas Canyon. The cowboys that settled the area were originally from Texas and decided to name the place "Texas Canyon". Some have said that when God finished creating the earth, He had left over boulders (rocks) and just piled them up here...
