The Weekly Collegial Show Your Photos Starting 10 August 2026 Any Brand

This is the weekly Collegial Show Your Photos Any Brand thread where we invite you to show your own pictures. It is collegial in that it is a pleasant and friendly place among photographers to share.

I will begin this thread each Monday (Pacific Standard Time) to give each of you all the chance to share your weekend photos with us, for those that follow a regular work week schedule and choose to do it that way. But the pictures can be taken at any time with any camera, including your cell phone. It's open to all skill levels from beginners to advanced. The images posted can be anything from casual snaps to extraordinary. I'll be sure to comment to each of your photos, if you choose to share. Replies from others are encouraged also.

The intent of this thread to mainly to just show photos in a relaxed way and to generate replies or comments about them. Generally I'm not planning to critique any image unless asked. But I or we may ask things about a photo that may develop into a discussion, always being friendly and helpful. It has been a request that I mention this and from what I've learned from past experience: Can you ask a member first if they would mind you editing their photos?

Remember it's all about the enjoyment of taking pictures regardless of what we have. We can learn from each. Please share any tips or techniques too. A narrative sometimes also helps. Thanks everyone for your participation.

Subject: Fourth of July Parade

This year when I went to our local fourth of July parade, I was on the wrong route with the lighting on the wrong side. Consequently I had a lot of shadows. So I got creative and took pictures where I could of people at the parade, where I could have better lighting. I won't make that mistake next year.

Usually, I would not do that. But I was running late and I was in hurry and picked this section of the parade that was close to where I was at the time. Oh, well...next time....

Nice shots (under those mentioned circumstances) and welcome back 😁

We still have summer like weather but it's to dry. we need rain. just like many other regions around the world.
During the weekend the Saturday would be a better day for some hiking with lower temperatures 😎
We decided to follow the recently changed hiking trail the Wolvenspoor:
The Wolvenspoor ("Wolf Trail") is an adventurous hiking trail through dark forests, over wooden bridges and through stream valleys. The trail runs through different types of forests and a wide variety of flora and fauna. The middle part of the trail runs over the heath fields and fens. Wooden paths lead over the marshes and unique bridges cross the ditches, but this is no guarantee for dry feet at the end of the tour. Waterproof and high shoes are absolutely necessary on this hike.

Thats a nice one @Sagittarius
