The Weekly Collegial Show Your Photos Starting 19 May 2025 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.

That's a nice little bird you saw 😆

We had a busy weekend 😂
Some nice weather on the saturday and a bike tour for a change. Started in Diever and visited the Drents-Friese Wold National Park

And on sunday the weather was a bit different.
Visited National Park Dwingelderveld again for a hike and for a change we didn't see the sun very much, it was a bit cloudy.
And with the use of the Hiking nodes (wandelknooppunten) we actually found an area and trail we haven't visited before.

That rose does look very nice👍

Photobygms,

Thanks. If the eagle population increases in our area, I hope to get more pictures of them.

Photobygms,

For the first set of photos, I really liked the first one. I don't know what it was, but seeing all that greenery near the narrow path was neat. I liked seeing horses and the bodies of water. Do people fish out of those lakes? It looked like such a beautiful sunny day.

Photobygms,

For the second set of pictures, I liked seeing the difference with the clouds, particularly the first one with the reflections. The one with the frog stands out for me, because I also saw a frog like that and took quite a lot of pictures of it. Most of the time, if I see a frog they will jump further away in the water. But that time, it let me get close..

David,

I enjoyed seeing the dark red rose. Thanks for clarifying that it was a very small size. Roses are some of my favorite flowers to photograph.

That is the Bicycle path we followed (semi paved path) Those lakes/ponds are not for fishing (it's a reverve) 😉
And yeah it was a very beautiful day, perfect for a ride 😎

That frog did look at me while I got down on the ground to try get a picture, it did stay until I finished with shooting some photos. The moment I stood up again it disappeared 😅

David,

I would imagine that you would have a lot of beautiful photos taken along the Danube River. We don't get a lot of wind where I live (except from strong storms), but I would think that that would look neat to photograph the seeds blowing in the wind.

Happy 👍

Highly decorated

Nice shots @Ghundred, Somewhere in Asia I guess 😁

Yes. Jilin province, Northern China 😁 Different world up here for sure.

Out for dinner, some of the nicest Lamb I've ever eaten. It was really really good

Ghundred,

Thanks for sharing with us some street photos from China. It's very interesting.
