time

My daughter and my son-in-law decided that I would spend a couple of weeks with them for Thanksgiving. They knew that with my wife just passing that a holiday alone was not to be. They drove to pick me and my three dogs up and brought me to their home in Plano, Texas. Yesterday, they took me...

Last month, before my 3 week time off work, I had the chance to go to Wales in a work related trip. Here are some of the pictures from the trip: The most futuristic high voltage line tower I have ever seen, somewhere outside Bristol, shot from the motorway. We passed an Amazon warehouse and...

Hi all, migrating from DPReview because, well, what choice do I have? Mostly shoot Micro Four-Thirds, though looking to buy a K1 ii for the times I want a bit more IQ even at the cost of weight. Looking forward to chatting here!

I'm posting this in the Watering Hole because the subject actually straddles so many subjects and concerns. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/12/thanks-to-ai-its-probably-time-to-take-your-photos-off-the-internet/

I think this will be fun. I'll have to really think. At least one lens of mine comes down to an emotional connection. Like the Nikon 105 F2 DC. At the time my kids were young and the lens produced a nice blend of sharpness and OOF rendering. But honestly it's all about the content. It touched me...

Lights are up in some areas and this locomotive is all decked out. Fuji X T 2 with 85mm Mark II viltrox 1.8.

Don't forget, tonight (2am tomorrow actually) set the clock in your camera/s back one hour If you live in UK or Europe (and other places). Nov 6 for USA and Canada.

Some of you may have seen the snow photos I posted recently. Those photos were taken with a digital camera. That day, I also took a roll of film with my Xpan. A couple of months ago, I also took some photos with my Xpan, colour C41 roll, at a park. I decided to send those two rolls of Xpan...

The Single in July 2022 (SiJy 22) challenge is coming! What it's all about: One camera! One lens! One month! One image a day! The key rules: Take at least one image per day during one month - and post (only!) one image to each day's thread. It's encouraged to post the image on the very day...

Cheers, Jock

How much time do you spend @ cameraderie forum?

Last night, my wife and I traveled 160 miles to watch my Kansas University play Texas Tech in basketball. KU is #7 in the nation and TT was 13. Our seats were in the nose bleed section of the Fieldhouse but it did not matter. I was among the 16. 299 other fans screaming for the Jayhawks. KU...

Hi guys, I really like that here any format size is used interchangeably, which allows me to go back a few years, even prior to my using M4/3, my go-to mostly. And I do have more than a few images to offer. I'd like to mix in occasional APSC images from goodwife's steady hand and able eye...

Start Date December 3, 2021 End Date January 3 2022 I was just lucky enough to attend a large retrospective exhibition of the photographs of Dorothea Lange, who was known for her compelling, revealing, disturbing, and often emotional 'Documentary' photographs. Lange once wrote: “My own...

As the Nikon Z lineup expands and I've sold off a few things I find I might be at a crossroads. I sold off my PL15 and PL8-18 recently. My intent was to get the new O8-25 Pro with the proceeds. Then there is the announced O20 Pro, a focal length I'm fond of. I'd be happy to part with my P20...

I did some freelance work for The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center East Hospital back in June of 2020. They had me cover the "kneel in" they did for the George Floyd protests at the hospital. They have used this image in many places through out their organization. I found out today...

My lease is about to expire on my Pixel 3A. I'm not going to keep it . . . I don't care much for the thing. It has a mind of its own, often changing settings randomly, like turning on DND, or turning on Airplane Mode, or turning off BT. It's annoying. I have seriously thought about reactivating...

All within the space of 90 minutes. Thanks, RX10! Cheers, Jock

Ten years ago today I followed Amin Sabet and BBW over here to the newly resurrected Serious Compacts forum. I was very fortunate to spend some of those early times as a Mod and as the publican of Bill's Pub. There have been very few days when I've not visited at least once and I've enjoyed...

Being bored we did some more random backyard portraits A6400 and 50mm SEL

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...

Great Capture One offer. 25% off new licenses (code SPRING25) and 30% off (code UPGRADE30) on upgrades. Capture One

For 17 years, I was a full-time freelance writer, working from a home office. Some observations: 1. Self-discipline can be the hardest thing to come by, but it is the most necessary thing for successful tele-working. Distractions are too easy to find. Determine that you will be...

This is a cool find

It's almost Halloween 2019, so let's start seeing those scary and ghoulish photo ops! My kids had a school Halloween event last week, so I'll kick it off! Post your Halloween themed photos in this thread! 1. LFCSA 2019 Harvest Town Festival by Jonathan Friolo, on Flickr 2. LFCSA 2019...

Is it time for a smartphone camera forum? They are getting quite sophisticated.

Same venue as last time. Yesterday a band came through that’s fronted by a guy I’ve known about and liked since I was in high school, Scott McCaughey. We loved his band The Young Fresh Fellows, even covered one of their songs a lot. In this iteration, the band is called The Minus Five, and it...

I drove by an abandoned school bus I had captured one and thought it would make a decent "time has passed." I did almost get a tick for the cause... found a little deer tick crawling up my pants after getting back to the car.

I can't remember when I bought this bag of onions. I think at this point I can call them Done-ions.
