    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: Sidewalk Chalk Art - Part I

    Last month I was able to attend to another sidewalk chalk art event. I hope you like seeing some of this creativity. 😀

    Subject: Early Autumn

    Today I went for a walk in the afternoon. The leaves are starting to give us some pretty yellow, orange and red colors. It's still early in the autumn season for us where I live. I expect peak colors will be in about two weeks.

    I hope you like the pictures I took today. 😀 I got to play with the new lens too. 😀

    That is amazing artwork. I wonder if any of the artists make any sort of income from their work. If they don't, they should.

    Oh, btw, nice photos as well 😊

    Subject: Great Blue Heron

    While looking for Wood Ducks yesterday, I saw this Great Blue Heron. It was on the other side of the pond. Fortunately, I had good lighting then. I liked this photo because there were not too many distracting (out of focus) elements in the background.

    I haven't seen many egrets or herons lately, so I was happy to see this one.

    I have no idea what the tree/shrub is called but it looks stunning when flowering.

    Thanks for noticing these good artists. I liked seeing all of these bight colors. They make beautiful photos too. This way we can preserve their beauty.

    Dan,

    I especially like the first photo. Showing this interesting plant with the sky as a background is excellent. I like doing that also with flowers, if I see such an opportunity in good lighting.

    I live in an old farmhouse that's 102 years old. For the last month and a half, I've been undergoing a renovation project to the kitchen.

    This is what it looked like before the renovation project:

    This is what it looks like now:

    A high-key B&W from 10/13/24. I deliberately overexposed this shot by a couple of stops.

    I decided to crop out the lawn for a minimalist look

    Steve,

    That's good you have the silhouette of trees around the frame with the moon. The minimalist look is interesting. Why did you have the tree (which appears to me to be the primary subject matter) be so far to the right side? What kind of tree is that?

    Dig,

    That's the way it appears in real life. One lone little fruit tree standing alone against a backdrop of nothingness. it's the feeling you get in looking at it. It's a metaphor of life and resiliency.
