Different look than what I'd done in the past and not sure I'd do it again but something a little different.

Damn! Reminds me of Spirograph as a kid. Some super cool shots man!

Another "Year of the Covid" post - almost no new stuff in months. This was taken several years ago when SF was a desirable place to visit. The sunset I'd hoped for never happened and this was the best of several shots at this location. My original edit in 2012 was pretty awful so I redid it using some suggestions from a local mentor.

Time to get this thread off Page 3
We were cleaning up some stuff in our garage today and ran across a box of old photos that had been stuck away for 15 years or more. I found a couple shots I took from Artist's Point on our first trip to Yellowstone when I was 12. I used a Kodak Brownie Fiesta, MSRP $5.95 that I'd put on lay away at the local Rexall store and paid off with my allowance for several weeks before the trip. It has (I still have it) a fixed f11 aperture, fixed shutter speed of 1/40 second, and of course fixed focus. I scanned these into Photoshop today and made some minor changes in contrast, shadows, etc. and removed some dust spots. They are a little fuzzy, but I was 12 and 1/40th of a second, okay?

Just to get this back in play...


One of my FB photo group mods was looking for nighttime photos of Austin and I remember this, taken in 2012. I think I posted this here years ago when we had a monthly photo contest but I'll post it again just to bump this thread.

A pleasant-weather evening while shopping recently - taken from the store’s parking lot...not what I’d call ‘high art’, but just liked the colors...

Cool colors and if it was in the past week or two, I think that's Saturn and Jupiter to the left of the moon.
