**The Weekly Collegial Show Your Photos Starting 21 October 2024 Any Brand****

From Digirame:

This is the weekly Collegial Show Your Photos Any Brand thread where we invite you to show your own pictures. It is collegial in that it is a pleasant and friendly place among photographers to share.
I will begin this thread each Monday (Pacific Standard Time) to give each of you all the chance to share your weekend photos with us, for those that follow a regular work week schedule and choose to do it that way. But the pictures can be taken at any time with any camera, including your cell phone. It's open to all skill levels from beginners to advanced. The images posted can be anything from casual snaps to extraordinary. I'll be sure to comment to each of your photos, if you choose to share. Replies from others are encouraged also.
The intent of this thread to mainly to just show photos in a relaxed way and to generate replies or comments about them. Generally I'm not planning to critique any image unless asked. But I or we may ask things about a photo that may develop into a discussion, always being friendly and helpful. It has been a request that I mention this and from what I've learned from past experience: Can you ask a member first if they would mind you editing their photos?
Remember it's all about the enjoyment of taking pictures regardless of what we have. We can learn from each. Please share any tips or techniques too. A narrative sometimes also helps. Thanks everyone for your participation.

I told Digirame that I would fill in this week.

I've seen purple hydrangeas, and blue ones and pink ones, and even white ones, but I've never seen a red one before.

Alan,

I like the B&W one. It has a timeless quality to it.

My wife says these are Gerber Daisies. It's weird seeing flowers bloom in late October.

(the sunflower is fake - the little sneak 😀)

We bought a trash can for the kitchen that has a metal lid. I went down to Wal-Mart and bought a couple of sheet magnets in the craft section. They come in sheets of 5" X 8" .and have a sticky side to them.

I printed this out in 5" X 7" and trimmed an inch off the side. Every week, our trash can will have a different look. Here's this week's:

Nice shots/photos Steve

I do like the B/W one Alan, the color ones look a bit overdone(to me) perhaps a bit to saturated and sort of halo around the tower, the last on is better

I'll post later tonight a few from the weekend, (spoiler alert: G.A.S has struck again) 😆😂

They're comin' to get you. Converted in DPP4.

The new addition:

Canon RF 28-70mm F/2.8 IS STM in a Kodak i5850 scanner 😎
(One of the scanners I do work with on a daily basis)

I couldn't resist buying this lens, F2.8 in a small and light package (17.5 oz / 495g)
First results do look very nice, used the lens this weekend during a hike. We were visiting family in the more southern part of the Netherlands.
And some cloudy autumn weather we visited the Oostvoornse Duinen area

We didn't look for birds but we did see a few roe deers.

And with the RP and RF 24-240:
