    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.

    Subject: Wood Duck

    I'm still post processing photos from our last trip. So I don't have a lot of photos ready yet. But here's a female Wood Duck I captured a few weeks ago. It was getting dark, so I needed to use ISO12800. This camera does surprisingly well at that level.

    ExposureTime - 1/320 seconds

    I do like that duck Digirame.

    We didn't see many birds, but many mushrooms 😂
    And while hiking again those mushrooms I did use for some further testing with the new Canon. RF 28-70 F2.8 IS STM.

    But not only the R and 28-70 were used:

    Photobygms,

    Autumn is such a nice time to take pictures. I like how you showed the autumn scenes with the mushrooms and leaves. I also liked seeing a little bit of blue sky with the clouds.

    I'm glad you enjoy your new lens too.
