Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #150 – March 21, 2018, 12:39:01 pm This thread keeps getting better and better... here is one that is a bit abstract. I was walking along San Diego Bay and was mesmerized by the bright highlights dancing on the surface of the water. I purposely shot at a narrow aperture to create the star effect and underexposed 2 stops to let the water "fall off" into darkness. I call this "Stars and Stripes" © Bill Benson 3 Likes

Reply #153 – March 21, 2018, 02:55:14 pm "Judie's photos can be amazing.I can't tell you how many times i have lusted over her food photos, yum!She feeds her husband well."What a thrill to come back to this really thoughtful compliment! ;-> Pretty much my whole schtick for posting all those food photos is to encourage one and all to eat simply and well. That's why there are no recipes. I don't really have any. It's all just good quality food that you like - cooked or not - to your taste - and enjoyed. The less consumed from boxes, bags, cans, and bottles . . . the better.I did not pack the refrigerator/freezer in the Lazy Daze (DorrieAnne) entirely to capacity, and yet still came home with enough food for another three or four days, I'm sure. A little better judicious planning could probably provide foodstuffs for a two-week outing, which is about the maximum we ever have between medical events. We hope to give this a try - over and over - for as long as we can - now that we have the hang of it again.We truly believe that at least partly because of our lifelong healthful eating habits, Gary is still alive today.Best hint: Get good cookware to use in the rig - not the leftovers from house upgrades. If the prep and cleanup isn't daunting, you are more likely to eat well without it hanging over your head as something too time consuming and difficult to accomplish.Here's what we had last night when we got home, but is a mainstay on the road as well. One pan to wash, and two eating bowls/plates. Use good quality paper products if water is in short supply.

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #156 – March 27, 2018, 09:08:45 am At dog training with our poodle pup getting use to the new 70-300. I opted not to get a longer lens at this time.

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #163 – April 21, 2018, 01:20:08 pm D500 with 200-500. (got the lens refurbished). Still need to sight it in and learn how to use it. The colors were so bad in this shot I blew out the reds, removed as much blue and then converted to B&W. The color shifting was an attempt to use the equivalent of a red filter on the shot. 6 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #168 – May 09, 2018, 04:27:26 pm I took this shot at Watchman Campground, Zion NP in 2000 so it's not really in my camera any longer. I was probably attending an art class at Cal Poly around that time so trying out repetitive patterns. 4 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #169 – May 09, 2018, 05:31:54 pm The Westfalia design as well as the bug were certainly repetitive patterns. Also the Lazy Daze.

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #173 – May 19, 2018, 01:13:58 pm I just watched this video by a person known for photographing parks, Chris Nicholson. He speaks mostly about six or seven major parks but brings up points on ways to make common shots your own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cbm8i7zjO4 Chris has another B&H video session about photographing stars that is worth viewing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeIguk_Ezyw Toward the end of the video he gets into editing and stacking in photo shop and using other software. The early part of the video he speaks to the 400 rule and items that can help most any photographer take better night shots. 2 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #174 – May 21, 2018, 11:03:05 am Macro-photography is what I enjoy the most. Here is a one and a half inch nudibranch (a little sea slug) feeding on a very small sea anemone. Beneath it is an even smaller (1/4 inch) nudibranch trying to join the feast. Nudibranchs are amazing because they harvest the stinging cells from the tentacles on the anemone and use them for their own defense. Some nudibranchs obtain nasty toxins and poisons from their food to make them poisonous to other sea life. Their bright colors are a warning to others that they are toxic or will sting, or both.This week's quest will find me diving with my youngest daughter and looking for interesting underwater scenic photos on a collapsed oil rig. Two weeks later, my wife and I will be in the Lazy Daze in the Rockies trying to figure out how you top-side photographers shoot such wonderful landscape photos. 4 Likes
