Even though I'm pretty rational myself, I have never been able to understand people who say things like "I carefully composed this photo because of the diagonal leading line that guides the eye...". Maybe because I started in street photography; either you see the decisive moment or you don't...

I've been building personal computers since before most people had even heard of them (and I'm talking Altair with the front panel here, but hopped up with a -- gasp! -- Z80 running 4 screaming Mhz). Virtually everything I've owned since then has been carefully spec'ed out and...

Morro Rock at sunset

The Navy can have the Blue Angels...if you want tight formations, give me some Brown Pelicans every time! 😺

Willet (?), Morro Bay, CA

I had to make this heavy crop after I saw what was inside...frightening!

"Lefty" 😸

That was literally what I've been biting my tongue for months not to suggest, because I knew it would be work for someone here, but it seemed like the most elegant and straightforward solution.

This alpaca used to be Ringo in a Beatles cover band.

I have an extremely similar story, FORTRAN and all, except it was 10 years earlier and I was sneaking into NYU as (believe it or don't) a junior high school student. This had the added advantage of making me familiar with Greenwich Village, which came in handy a few years later 😺 I suspect it...

Ah, a newbie 😹:rolleyes:

50?!?! Computers have been in general use for well over 30 years (not counting people like me who started messing about very early in life), so possibly either you lived a sheltered life or you're very old!

Now you know why Costco sells them in 10-packs!

Oh, hell.

An unusually colored Northern Shoveler and his harem.

We'd have to turn him over to know for sure.

I sure hope they're wrong about the Gulf Stream starting to peter out or the UK is going to start freezing over for sure. I hear Scotland gets plenty cold enough already!

And now I see a face in the tree!

Once I might have said "Never have I ever" but now I will just say "hmm...looks familiar!" 😹:rolleyes:😸

Is that last one actually steam? It looks so...modern.

There's just something about the disconnect between a beautiful soft bird...and barbed wire!

"Oh hai"

Yesterday we walked around Grass Valley, California. Most of these are untouched (unusual for me, but none of them were moving like my usual subjects lol). Historic Holbrooke Hotel (OK, I love alliteration!): Repurposed and newly renovated bank: Art deco lives: Tis the season:

Rare photo of a giant lizard just about to cross the Sierra Nevada! 😺

Imagine! 😺 Apart from my usual droll puns, I did not know there was a statue of John like this in Cuba, or anywhere else for that matter. I was at the memorial for him in Central Park the morning after his murder, and made a pilgrimage to the Dakota and Strawberry Fields with my youngest son...

"...and a low pass over an admiral's daughter" 😹

Aw, and here I thought it was just a classic coincidence! 😺 I love me some parallel evolution!

I know a guy with a wife with a hat like that...and they once lived in Sudbury, MA!

Air traffic control nightmare...

The light was terrible, but you take what you can get when the subject is Sandhill Cranes!

Topaz, baby!

I'm so glad you have that lens because clearly you know what to do with it! 😻 😻 😻

FYI, this is not a "giveaway" like your regular offerings. It's just the standard 3-day trial app available in the Play Store.

Don't crush them and they won't stink!

I think we have a lot in common...😺 🙀 :rolleyes:

That sounds like a character from Harry Potter! 😹

Cool! I've wanted to try one of these ever since taking a picture of my guitar at the "right" angle but hardly anything was in focus. Not worth getting a whole lens just for that lol. Super cute dog BTW!

I finally got a dragonfly (yeah, it's probably a damselfly)

Yet another turkey vulture

After seeing nothing but bright flowers, bees, and butterflies for 20 minutes, this moth suddenly popped up and looked like Darth Vader in comparison P.S. I invented a new technique for this. These were actually two shots in quick succession, and each one was more focused on a different wing...

For some reason that reminds me of an old joke..."Why are they called hemorrhoids? Shouldn't they be called asteroids?" Also, 65:24 noted. 😺

Looks like the main claim to fame here is the retro Nikkor look. I'd definitely wait until a few reviews are out! OTOH, if you collect old lenses or cameras...Artra Collectibles

Whoa 😺 (y) 🙀

Who could blame you? But that's stalking and harassment and they should have been arrested IMHO. There's a word for people like that...!🤬 My wife is exactly the same way (only recently, the last 5 years though). She takes everything personally and deeply and worries about things that happened...
