This weekly thread is principally intended for you to showcase your photos made with Canon cameras of all sorts: SLR, DSLR, Mirrorless, M-series, APS-C, film, etc. But any brand of camera will be accepted, including photos taken with your phone. We do enjoy reading an accompanying text explaining your photo and any special techniques you may have used. Comments and helpful criticisms on others' photos are also welcome: we can all learn something from each other. We look forward to seeing your contributions and new participants to this series of threads are always welcome!
A new thread for the following week will be posted next Saturday around 10 pm UK time.
Digirame and I will be active here and are sharing the hosting, but we are used to all joining in and commenting on others' photos.
Review of last week
While there are rumblings of spring here in central Europe (it was 16°C today!) I havent yet seen the evidence that Digirame showed us, with a bee in a crocus blossom. A good catch!
My fish pie was a very transient experience, though much enjoyed.
Simplejoy's walnuts and chestnut were a break from his more abstract creations. The pods of walnuts actually do produce a black liquid, the stain of which is hard to eradicate.
I admire Steve's insistance on going back to first principles. His 30mph car equates to 44ft/sec, and with an exposure of 1/640 sec, it would have moved 0.825", which is certainly as good as frozen. Was the sunrise photos also on tripod? 1/8 sec is pretty ambitious for hand held.
I am too lazy to take my tripod, unless I want to frame the shot hyper-accurately, and have developed the ability to hand hold exposures of 1/15 sec with success.
Digirame's storm cloud looked quite threatening. I would have liked to see the cars more clearly though.
Fotoworld's insects and birds are always excellent, and look very exotic to me. All the shots are wonderfully sharp.
Digirame has moved on from ducks to cormorants. As a city mouse, I have never lived anywhere with such variety of birds. Seeing the bird with outspread wings made me wonder whether the feathers would be good for the harpsichords that I play. I am currently using swan feathers.
Then there was the dog riding in the baby carriage. I assume he was convalescing. I have frequntly seen dogs with wheeled walkers when they have problems with their rear legs.
Simplejoy also got out and about with more wintery closeups.
A perfect reflection in Digirame's lake view. Finally he found some ducks!
Great shots, guys. I envy the choice of subjects that you have in the country.
