The Weekly Collegial Show Your Photos Starting 30 December 2024 Any Brand

Photobygms,

I enjoyed seeing your photos. I especially like the one with the stairs and secondly the photo showing the wooden walkway. We have wooden walkways like that too in wetland areas.

Alan,

I liked seeing all of the colors in the first photo. We have a store with colorful displays like that at one of our beach towns. I often have to also take a picture of it. That's interesting to know that Hitler didn't want certain sections of Rochdale bombed. That's a good catch of the sun next to the statue of Gracie Fields.

David,

That's nice to see the photo of the two menorah. Why are there too of them? What does that signify? I was out today taking a few photos and I found one that is similar. I was out at this location for the menorah first lighting last year. I don't know if I showed photos of it. This year the first lighting of the menorah was on Christmas, so I missed it.

The photo is not that good as it was late in the afternoon under dark cloudy skies. I also had the wrong white balance, but that was an accident. But I thought I would share it with you anyway. 😀 Happy Chanukah!!! And Happy New Year. 😀

Mtgoatee,

I really like seeing the mountain sheep. You got the first one at a relatively short focal length with F9, so we see that nice deep depth of field. The second one is outstanding too. The windmill provides that energy to make it self-sufficient. We have some signs similarly that rely completely on small solar panels for electricity. The first picture inside the candy story is interesting, making me wonder what it is. I liked seeing the picture of the tram, with the tree, the snow and the mountains all together.

David,

Did you have fireworks at midnight for the new year's celebration? The dogs I knew, just hated all that noise. That would keep them up.

Well, it's time to enjoy the day. I hope you have a good new year's holiday.

Thank you. The F9 was user error, a remnant from a previous scene. This scene only lasted a few seconds, and in my haste to get the exposure right, I cranked down the shutter a bit until auto iso (within limits) was happy, but failed to check the aperture. Ideally, I'd have liked aperture at around f/5.6, with a lower iso, but oh well. I find that the rear command dial on FF bodies that the 6700 lacks makes a huge difference when shooting fleeting scenes.

Funnily enough, I was wearing sun shades and ended up overexposing the scene despite my best efforts, and had to resort to software to bring out the details.

I was trying to use the "one way" sign, the electric pole, and the windmill to compose a scene that said "this is one way to generate electricity", but I'm not sure I was successful.

The first pic inside the candy store is a light they had on their ceiling. I thought that standing directly beneath it gave it a "flaming" look, but I ended up underexposing it a bit (again, thanks to the shades). And the second looks like a focus miss, dang.

On the tram, I see a bit of sewer pipe sticking up from the ground that I could have covered up with the tree, had I noticed it when shooting.

I did see the sun again😎 after a few weeks with cloudy and rainy weather finally today the sun did show up again😊
I do have a few days off so I went out and did enjoy the sun while hiking through the Aekingerzand area
