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

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

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

Air traffic control nightmare...

Whoa 😺 (y) 🙀

Using that kind of lens for aircraft in flight (especially on a day like that) tells me you're brave, masochistic, thrifty, a diehard old-school type...or some combination of the above! 😺 (y)

Cool 8-bit houses! 😺

This was tight, but worth it! (even the heron was lucky, check out the fish!)

I thought this might fit here

I read through this thread and a few others and decided to try Hugin for defishing this shot I took awhile back at the Old Folsom Powerhouse main switchboard: Quick and dirty defish (since I don't really know what I'm doing anyway):

This is more abstract than minimalism. If you're of "a certain age", it may remind you of static on an analog television set...but it's actually a macro photo of aloe gel that I did something or other to (can't exactly remember what though!). Probably good for pareidolia testing 😺

U2 spy plane at low altitude, in rare feather camouflage 😸

Sea lions hanging out on a dock, Moss Landing, CA

"London as seen from St. Louis" 😸

Two boats returning to the marina. First one Monterey Harbor, the second from Mos Eisley, I mean Moss Landing:

So close...

Thanks! Still not sure if it's a good or a bad thing, but it's a thing!

Had to follow up! And then this one accidentally reminded me of Homer Simpson: TTartisans 7.5mm f/2

Well, now I have to try to take a picture of a fish with mine! 😹

This shot reminded me of one I took as soon as I got my own TTartisans 7.5mm, which does a sort of rectilinear mapping over 180 degrees. I had to try this, and it worked! (Yes, that's a straight tunnel!)

XF16-80

Almost everyone in the US has better air quality now, thanks to California's Air Resources Board and push to cut pollution...which came directly out of photos of the air in LA back then. Hollywood likes to make dramatic films with tension you could cut with a knife, but when the air got...

Ah, well there you go, sounds quite analogous (and what about digitous?)

Not sure of the terrain in those Aussie cities, but LA is also in a "bowl" due to the mountains, which doesn't help.

Now that was no surprise!😿

Two turkey vultures recreating the familiar head-on pass a la the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds 😹

Mourning dove framed by pine Fujifilm X-S10 / XF 150-600 / Capture One / Topaz

Wow, great catch! (even if it's not a fishing boat lol) 😸

Plus they always look like they're taking the piss 😹

Reminds me of BSA...known in the 50s and 60s for motorcycles, rather than guns.

I suspect they didn't anticipate actual electric aircraft when they named this Mach 2 beast!

Slugs are homeless snails 😼

An analog fan after my own heart! Also...way to bury the lede: new Leica!

That was such an iconic, badass bike.

A buddy of mine had a wartime Triumph that he bought in the crate, which I rode once. It had blackout lights and that wacky tachometer.

That reminds me of the Rolls-Royce fake radiators they (used to?) sell for VW Beetles.

"Not the OP, but..." 1. Cirrus Vision SF50 - Wikipedia 2. N31SF Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware "What are the chances...?" but it is in the air as I type this.

Hmm...great minds do think alike sometimes! Edit: if you like Classic Start Menu, you also might like Startup Delayer.

Cryptozoology, obviously! That's the beauty of this approach. I never change the names; if I want to find a file I use the "Everything" program (Windows only though), and it literally finds anything, on any disk, as fast as I can type the name.

I'm younger than you (though not much), but I genuinely enjoy processing everything, then uploading images that are exactly how I like them. On The Other Hand: I couldn't imagine keywording everything. I sort them by category or venue into subdirectories. So on days I want a turkey photo, I...

Thanks! I use Capture One and have had the same problem with both V21 and 22. I save two files when editing; one TIFF-16 and one PNG. All the metadata is turned on identically in both export recipes, yet the PNG always loses the EXIF and the TIFF keeps it. But that hardly matters, because all...

Finally got a chance to post some aviation photos without having to dig into my archives...! Taken today in Georgetown, CA at a fly-in (apparently the theme was "primary colors" lol). I really love gyrocopters so this was a treat! Taken with my Tokina 11-16mm:

Fisheye Flare!
