I decided to put this in a separate thread to tell the story. What I initially thought was an Anna's hummingbird was not. It is a male Costa's hummingbird that was still in my yard as of yesterday. I'll post the map of where it should be, which is nowhere near Texas. Where I live isn't even...

Serious stroke on RH side drastically limits my ability but recovering OK. Please don't expect timely or lengthy replies as I'm not spending much time online. Happy & Healthy Holiday Season. to ALL! Andy

Show us something that's specific to your spot on this planet - maybe your 'happy place' or something that has meaning to you (try to steer clear of obvious landmarks) The standard rules apply: As usual, this Challenge will consider originality, technical merit and artistic vision. No change...

Lucas has grown quite a bit since I got him 6 months ago, and his little enclosure was getting too cramped. I got him a square 25 cm all-around glass terrarium for plenty of space and easier to warm up using a Heat Mat on the side of the glass. I put a layer of soil and fake moss on one side...

I am following some other folks from POTN which has been a long time watering hole for me and will miss it. A lot of good responses from others on this site and looking forward to being part of a new family. I am living in the Pacific Northwest east of Seattle and have since moving here from...

As something positive to take my mind off of today’s worldwide horrors… There’s this photographer I’ve been following on Instagram and Patreon. Mostly she does artistic and quite good selfies with the occasional landscape. She commented about wanting to get a “real” camera for her birthday...

Just throwing some ideas around and was interested if anyone has gone with a desktop + iPad/Android tablet or laptop combination. With the tablet/laptop being for out-of-office usages, such as at university, on holidays etc. The desktop would be the primary computer for photo editing etc., and...

I have a box of old 8mm home movies from the '40's through the '60's and want to convert to digital and share with family. Looking at the Kodak REELS or the Wolverine Pro. Anyone have any experience with either of these? I'm leaning toward the Kodak for the added resolution but not sure how much...

Reitz home museum This story is about culture, and although its photographical merits are very few, if any, I hope you find it entertaining. Today we spent few hours in a museum which is extraordinary in Finland. As a young sovereign country, our country developed quickly in the 1920s and...

Anybody into 3D printing at home? It's something that I think I'd have some fun with but there are so many different models and types out there that I'd be interested in hearing what people are actually using versus most of the online 'articles' that are really little more than shills for...

Cheers, Jock

More Northern Wisconsin imagery. Coming back from an errand, I took the long way home. I dearly love the Nikkor O 35/2 but I think I need a lens hood this time of day... Thanks for looking!

BrianS made a comment that we should have a recipie thread and I thought I'd take him up on it. I have an Instant Pot and a tabletop oven/toaster/air fryer that I do 75% of my cooking in. Here's a thing I've done of late in the Instant pot. ---------------- 1) take a small chunk of pork...

So I had the fling with Df. It lasted about 7 days and I did have fun with the prime once it arrived (not so much with the zoom). The problem is that Df is too good. It is too nice to use, the sensor is too great, the lenses too good for the value. I saw immediately that prolonged relationship...

Sadly my holiday was over, on the way to Heathrow Airport! Lumix G9 + PLeica 15mm @ 1/25000 f2 ISO200. And a few tweaks!

It reflects my fascination with the skies, love of nature, and world view. With the help of my brother-in-law, I set it up so that if someone likes one of the images and would like to download it for their personal use, they can without cost or any marketing "hooks" whatsoever...

I'll be posting a number of images in the SiJy of the final stages of my bath and Kitchen renovation. Single in June almost might have been too easy actually since it started June 2nd :biggrin:. So I should probably post some before images and have a convenient place to post after with other...

The colour version of my SIJ - Day 30 entry

Could you guess that a bird watcher lives here?

A very difficult choice today, it was rather wet and I didn't venture beyond my back gate (it's actually in the photograph). Had Chris our local postman made more concessions in his mode of dress to the weather he may well have made it to the SIJ, as it is he'll have to be content with the...

We live in a place just outside of Billings, Montana, USA that's a bit vulnerable to wildfires. (We've been evacuated three times.) When lots and lots of shingles started blowing off the roof of our house, we knew we had to do something fairly soon. Zach helped us find a metal roof (which...

Looking out from under the roof atputting things away.
