October 2018. December 2021, following strong winds. The top half! April 2024. Natural regrowth. Today. Former site of sycamore tree. All that's left of sycamore tree.

Hello, I am a college student in the US looking to finally purchase a camera for adventure photography purposes. I have done quite a bit of research and found that a Sony A6400 would best fit my needs. Light small body Built-in flash (for quick up-close night shots on missions) Weather/dust...

I have started this photo series on "descansos -- roadside memorials to the dead" and someone suggested that it would be nice if I let other photographers contribute to the project. I'm not opposed to the idea ... but I am not sure if anyone else actually takes photos of these things. If you...

Just a brief rant on the process for software that requires activation. DxO's process is lousy. You get 2 activations for PureRAW, but there's no way to deactivate a license, like when you know you're swapping PCs, for example. Contrast with On1 and CaptureOne, where you can deactivate a...

So today I went to an annual car-show. Previously, I've only found out about it after event when seeing photographs online. This year people from our neighbourhood, who own a car that was being exhibited, offered me a ride and insisted it's high time I attend. It's held over the two days of the...

Amazing https://petapixel.com/2025/01/16/417-megapixel-andromeda-galaxy-panorama-took-over-a-decade-to-make/ I downloaded the image, and zoomed. I kept looking for the main body of the galaxy, only to realize that this image has a resolution to see some of the individual stars. The article...

Did this back in 2023 - old thread HERE These next few weeks might be a little challenging trying to get out with the weather being what it is right now...but I'll try and get something. Instead of blowing up the thread with a lot of images, for each week, I'll post only the top 3 (at most)...

So a couple of years ago I developed a series of lectures on Photography and Art (a deceased wife was an art consultant to several successful painters and sculptures), and I've been thinking about how knowledge about how photography came to be an art and how that can help one become a "better"...

Hi guys I use pentax k-70 DSLR camera and I'm happy with the result. What do you guys think? This picture kind looks like a character from the animated movie soul.

I've been somewhat active photo enthusiast since my early teens. I even taught photography for small limited audience. Transformed from film era cameras to digital and found eventually the gear I enjoy using, more or, usually, less. But now my daughter, studying in Space Institute in Sweden...

When considering Bartjeej's critique of my photo I couldn't help think of contemplative photography - pictures that suggest contemplation. "Contemplative photography is an artistic practice that combines mindfulness with the act of taking photographs, encouraging the photographer to be fully...

For those looking for one, DON'T OVERPAY. The local chain in my area still seems to have a pretty long list. I got in touch with a store I have dealt with before about something else the week before Thanksgiviing. For fun I asked what the wait was for a black one. Two weeks later, I had it in...

Today I finally felt like imaging again. So, I charged up my batteries and am looking forward to imaging next week. My whole focus (so to speak) has changed and I'm going to not go birding every week. More industrial and small-town imaging. Not such a good time here in the US NW as rain and...

Hi all, I am looking for some info on taking photographs in Budapest. My daughter and I will be going there on 4th December just for a few days and I would really like to make the most of it. We have decided to do a Danube night cruise and also visit a few of the more iconic buildings and...

Hey everyone! I’m curious—what’s that one photo you’ve taken that you’re most proud of? Whether it’s your first great shot, something that took tons of effort, or just one that has a special meaning to you, I’d love to hear the story behind it! Feel free to share the image if you can.

How long before you burned out from birding. I'm keeping my gear, but after 20 years and perhaps 100K of images, I am now looking for reptiles and large mammals here in Oregon. I had not been in a couple of months and it was not fun. Even though a nice white Egret did a lot of hunting not more...

What are the potential drawbacks and challenges photographers face when selling their work as NFTs compared to traditional methods?

I have my choice of two trips: 10 days on a river boat or 8 days deep in the jungle. I turn 75 and this is going to be my last trip out of the US (wife's going to France for her 75th trip). I have an agent orange disability, so I normally wear 10" boots that lock my feet and ankles together and...

Hi good folks of the internet. I am in an ongoing project of documenting the stuff my friend and I do in this , the most likely last summer she is with us. I am using film in a half frame for diptychs, instant film, an action camera and my main shooter. I am trying to think in the ways of a...

Some thought provoking points being raised in this article Coming from a more journalistic / documentary style myself, I do balk at this https://petapixel.com/2024/05/03/adobe-throws-photographers-under-the-bus-again-skip-the-photoshoot/

Hi! This is my first post here. I'm a passionate street photographer based in Los Angeles. Here are some of the shots I took over the past few years.

My normal travel gear has been my trusty Gx85 (took a Gx8 one year, but the IBS was so much better on the Gx85 I changed), Pany 14 & GWC1 (Makes it a 10.5mm according to my PL8-18mm) and the Oly 75-300II. I was thinking about taking my G9II or Gh6, but after looking at my Gx85 images for the...

Little surprise in my back yard...

I realize I may be the only one to post images in this thread. Expressionism is the best term I have found for my more artistic work that I don't share that often. But I think it is time I get over myself and share it a bit more online. So to kick it off, here is a recent piece. My work is all...

Types of Eclipse Photo by XKCD

As a kid, I drew regularly with graphite pencils - wild animals, mostly, from photos in books and magazines. Over the years, the urge to draw remained, but the motivation to start has mostly eluded me. From time to time I'd get bad GAS, and buy some more pencils, and draw a few things - gum...

I'd just like to thank every single member on this wonderful forum for putting up with me over the last year. (I had hoped to post on my exact anniversary but I was away tending to my very poorly 93-year-old step-Dad.) Like several others on here, I'd hit a bit of a slump with my photography...

I had been working on this picture. When I looked at the small preview window in Bridge, it had added a moire effect. I was wondering if there was a way to introduce it in the full size picture. On the web i just find tuts on removing it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, rick

just finished this one up Alumilite Clear with a label

I read this in the Comics section of my online newspaper this morning and immediately started laughing. I’m guessing it may trigger some memories for a few others as well :p

The local arts group organizes public art at the Knoxville airport (TYS.) They change out the artworks on display every six months, with the new works being chosen by a new "Juror" each time. I have submitted pieces to be displayed for the last two years, but have never had one chosen. It has...
