Good Photos

[jpmcwjr]

This is somewhat of a successor to "Great Photos Thread", a lofty ideal we hit rarely.

Edited Sunday, November 25, 2024

• Only images you have shot.
• Location and date mandatory.
• Camera settings—only if you wish.
•. Manipulation O.K., but notate.
• If you do not want feedback, say so in the post.

I'll start. Some little Plover chicks that I stopped and moved to safer ground much to the chagrin of the parents.
iPhone 16 and shot on the farm.

Photo I took the other night with my cell phone, while smoking a cob full of GLP Cumberland. It's the comet.

Taken two nights ago in Coastal Delaware. That’s the MOON.

All three taken with my cell phone.

All are the same location.

Yes, but where? The near duplicate with people in the frame was deleted.

OK, additional guidelines: One, possibly two photos per post. No near duplicates.

If you do not want feedback, say so in the post. Hoping good photos can be made better through critiques.

Windpoint Lighthouse, Racine Wisconsin.

We took our grandsons for a visit a couple of months ago. They love it.

I’m no photographer, but I took this one with my bottom-rung iPhone while in Cuenca, Spain recently

I need to get an upgrade to my cameras. My DSLR is an older model Canon and I used an iPhone SE for this pic. Currently researching a camera for bike packing.

Anyways, some ducks on the Menomonee River in Wauwatosa, WI

This is a favorite. We took a boat ride to the Isle of May from Anstruther on our first trip to Scotland. Spent a few hours hiking about and taking loads of pics of puffins, in particular. On the way back to Anstruther a few puffins were doing their thing in open water so I decided to take some more pics if we were close enough and basically lucked into this one. Most folks had their cameras tucked away and were huddling inside (it was a little chilly, haha) - just one of those lessons about right place, right time, be ready and you might get lucky. Nikon D3300, VR zoom all the way to 300mm, f7.1 at 1600. Had it set to one of the program modes, can't remember which.

Another favorite and the above made me think of it. On a coastal California trip a few years ago we stayed a couple nights in Sausalito so we could spend a day in San Francisco. Took this with my little Fuji x100f from the bow of the ferry we took across first thing in the morning - was pleasantly surprised with the result. ISO 200, f8, 500 - it was in the aperture priority mode and had the EV dial turned down 1/3. Again, just a lucky shot on a chilly morning alone in the bow of a boat hoping to get some good pics (and honestly, this is the only one worth a darn of the several I took on the way across and coming into the pier).

You guys and your high tech, photo reactive devices. I take my pictures with the old fashioned way with hand carved relief printing and collagraphs. The location is outside the studio in Birmingham.

And that makes me think of this photo I took which isn't great at all (a guy painting on the other side of the house limited access) and only notable because of the above, lol. Officially freaked out for the rest of the day, thanks a lot! Tippi never recovered. @jpmcwjr - sorry for the slight derail!

Going forward, photos that don't have location and month and year- at the least, year—will be deleted.

You can repost, though.

Gents: When and where, please.

Photos without where and when will be deleted.
