And they don't look at all nervous, in spite of the rapid approach of Thanksgiving on the calendar. Thx for such great pix.This is one of the great blessings I've found from our Conservation Tax in Missouri--since I didn't grow up in a family of hunters I never remember seeing wild turkeys/other wildlife when I was a kid out here in the boonies of north Missouri (other than the flat skunks/squirrels on the roads), but there have been several times in the past few years that I've noticed turkeys in corn/bean fields after harvest as I drive from here to Kansas City.Lynne 2 Likes

I feel we humans infuse emotion into two dimensional objects to create a personal narrative. I'm sharing this because I have no issue with editing an image. In fact any image we 'get' has already been 'edited' by either a manual process in a development or interpreted by a computer program from the manufacturer of the camera. 5 Likes

We were scouting a nearby area for suitability for taking Dorrie Anne (our GREY Lazy Daze RB) out into a nearby "wilderness" area. Sadly, the roads were not suitable for the Big Girl, but we did okay in the Sportsmobile, so that will be our transport to this area - when it warms up a bit.But the "photo" part of this story is that all the way back down Highway 82 from Sonoita, we had this small, but especially bright rainbow in the right-hand side of the windshield. No place to pull over to get out the real cameras, so the ancient iPhone had to fill the void.The grasses were certainly not this bright, but the inner workings of the app, ProCamera, has a plethora of "fixes", and in two shakes of a lamb's tail, I had a picture that I was ready to SAVE.It was a very pleasing, at least to me, photograph, so, without further processing, I tossed it up on my blog. Much to my surprise, it seemed to be fairly popular amongst my few followers.So ya' jes ever know when something will tickle the "happy button" on others as well as yourself. After all, a completed photograph is a rendition of how YOU saw the scene, aided and abetted by your own aesthetics, and the mechanical procedures invented by someone else entirely.If interested . . . click below on the URL: Virtual hugs, Judie <-- Sierra Vista, Arizona Adventures of Dorrie Anne | Photographing the West Today: Golden Rainbow ********************************* 2 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #315 – December 06, 2018, 04:14:30 pm Thanks, Joel. You're totally right. For me, it was the culmination of all of the snapping that went on for a couple of miles of hurtling down the highway trying to keep as much of the subject as possible away from the impediments inside a moving vehicle and the outside poles and wires, as well as finding the sweet spot where the rainbow shone down just right on the mountains. It looked like a magical moment, and I was obsessed with capturing it. It sang its sweet song to me, and I wanted to share it. The fact that so many people wrote comments on the blog and on Facebook was a total surprise, and just added to the swelling in my heart. It is just one of those "life's satisfying moments" that we all in search of. Virtual hugs, Judie•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~• 2 Likes

I built those hutches. My woodworking experience is limited to playing with alphabet blocks 60 years ago. Here is how my first wood purchase went, with the guy at the local family owned lumber store.Me: I need twelve 1 x 2 x 6s and eight 1 x 3 x 6s.Him: pulls boards from cubbys marked 1 x 2 x 6 and 1 x 3 x 6, loads them into car.Me: Looks at boards, HEY!! These aren’t the right size!!Him: Huh?Me: they’re not 1 x 2 or 1 x 3, they’re all just slightly off.Him: What?Me: whips out tape measure to prove the 1 x 2s are all around 5/8ths x 1 and 5/8s and the 1 x 3s are all around 5/8ths x 2 and 3/4s.Him: Seriously?Me: hands him the tape measure.Him: That IS the size of 1 x 2s and 1 x 3s and 2 x 4s and everything else.Me: Huh?Him: that’s how lumber is sold.Me: What?Him: Pulls up store menu on the computer and shows me the product description.Me: SERIOUSLY!!? ……. But all my plan measurements are based on 1 x 2 and 1 x 3….. Him: confused silenceMe: I’m HORRIBLE at math especially fractions.Him: OOHHH!! I get it!!! What you want are “true measure” boards and unloads and puts away all those boards. Gets a couple of much bigger slabs of 6 foot pine wood, and cuts 1 x 2s and 1 x 3s out of them and loads those into the Toyota.Me: Wants to give him a huge hug, but don’t want to embarrass him. Instead I go home, juice a cantaloupe, cook up some bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches, drive back to the store and drop the bag of fresh juice and sandwiches into his hand, with a huge smile and thank you. Him: huge smile.PIX;Got that for my 26th anniversary present. Going from a manual staple gun to a pneumatic one, is like going from “dial up” to 4G. 2 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #321 – December 07, 2018, 06:32:59 pm In my opinion there are two types of images. One I call historical and one 'art'. Historical images we take for reference in the future when we look back we remember the personal impact. "Art" images are a box I put all images that represent a part or slice of life that 'talks' to the images maker. At some point we put the image into a public place ie family, friends or the public at large. We, the takers, have no control over the response. Every human has a life experience that is unique to that person. That person brings very different emotions to the image. Example below -- both btw are black and white. Since the world is in color both are an interpretation by me . One -- Sun Dail Bridge Two -- after a long 20 plus mile run I turned around a shot this image with a Kodiak Instamatic. 3 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #324 – December 08, 2018, 12:18:07 pm Beautiful image. It is my understanding that a well irrigated tree has a root system that replicates its canopy. As far out as the branches reach so do the roots. This gives a healthy tree plenty of support. That’s what my tree guy told me. A good reason not to have large trees planted too close to homes and foundations. The roots can travel under your Home disturbing foundations and plumbing. Not the best situation you can be in. Another reason to “full time” in a LD. Kent 1 Likes
