Rare pierces Posted August 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Pictures taken between Monday, August 26 and Sunday, September 1. Rules: See above That's it. This isn't a contest. All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising). Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize. The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays. Post one. Post many. Up to you. Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Oakman58 Posted August 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2019 When you just returned from a 15 day cruise and have to make a trip to the doctor for cruise crud, waiting room chairs like this are appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pierces Posted September 2, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Pictured here are Matthew and Jackie performing at the Basque Club Labor Day Picnic. Neither Matthew nor Jackie are showing signs of being naturals and it would be fair to say that the entire group's performance relied heavily on how darned cute the kids looked in their traditional costumes (though 99° and sunny made wool a questionable choice). This was our second attendance at one of these events and we have come to respect how dedicated the local Basque population is about maintaining their traditions. With schools and communities trying so hard to erase our history, it’s nice to see a people proud to be American and still work hard to maintain and respect their own past.

zackiedawg Posted September 5, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Knocking out two different weeks at once, since I was backlogged of shots on my camera with the hurricane interruption this past week. The following shots are a mix of a few from the wetlands, and then a few taken from my swimming pool in the backyard afterwards: First signs of fall migration beginning, with the arrival of the yellow-throated warbler: A female anhinga, sitting up on a log to dry out its wings in the sun: I guess this would be a 'DIF' - dragonfly-in-flight: A beautiful monarch, partaking of a purple flower with the sky-reflected wetlands waters behind: If you really want to challenge both your panning/tracking skills, and your camera's focus tracking and speed - try shooting barn swallows in flight - these little missiles fly in bursts up to nearly 50MPH, with highly erratic turns and banks as they chase down bugs in the air - plus they fly nape-of-the-earth, just barely clipping over trees and obstacles, as well as each other. Of course, it's much more calming to shoot these little guys when you're chest-deep in nice cool pool waters, with your elbows resting on a pool float while ripping off some bursts: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boeckli Posted September 6, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) A few impressions from Sydney's Museums Discovery Centre (the whole site is a kind of storage facility for a couple of Sydney's museums - one large 'warehouse' is open to the public and displays a wide range of items). Being part of a group and guided tour, it was rather difficult to get shots without interference from bright spot-lights or neighbouring display items. No flash allowed, so a steady hand was called for (very happy to have managed some good results at 1/8s 😉 ...)

Oakman58 Posted September 6, 2019 #10 Share Posted September 6, 2019 The photo of the antique bus reminded me of the "vintage" tour bus we boarded for a shore excursion in Guernsey, Channel Islands. It definitely wasn't built for full size adults. Everything was "vintage," the bus, the driver, and the passengers. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
