    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: Indoor Performance

    I heard about an indoor performance where we could take pictures as long as the camera was silent and there was no lighting or flash coming from the camera. So I decided to go there with two Canon R8 cameras with a Canon RF 24-105mm lens on one camera and the Canon RF 100-400mm lens on the other camera. It was largely an experiment. Sometimes I did not have enough shutter speed (which produced some occasional motion blur) and also decisions had to be made based on the available stage lighting. But overall it was a success. Each indoor performance will be different, so it's not easy to know exactly what to do, especially if we do not do this very much.

    Here are some of the photos.

    Do love those photos, it's also a good example that non L series gear can create those nice photos, and the R8 is a capable camera at high ISO settings👍

    After some days with extreme temperatures up to 38c in the Netherlands, and the Dutch TT in our home town Assen, we did finally go out again for a hike.
    Decided to stay close to home and spend a few hours hiking near a small village called Zeegse which is part of the National Park Drentsche Aa.
    After those warmer days is actually nice to have lower temperatures and rain 😅
