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
There has been rain this week in most places where this group is active. Digirame has a magic umbrella that helps him in such circumstances. I also have two of those: mine are 1.5 metres (4ft 10in) in diameter and dangerous on sidewalks. But they also have a mechanism that prevents them from blowing inside out, which is worth having.
Digirame went to Oregon State University to photography bikes, and mysterious robots that deliver food on and off campus, while being less dangerous than some Teslas. Fascinating photos.
The rain didnt prevent Photobygms from hiking in his trekking boots and showing us a different aspect of Holland -- much appreciated by many. I could smell the damp.
I confess that OpenCube's abstracts often defeat me, but he does them very well. His view "outside the palace" was fun, with frost on the ground, but which palace?
My documentation of the useless local station clock was completed by a partial tour of the station and a description of how, like the clock, things work differently here in Vienna.
At the other end of Austria, Simplejoy presented a highly detailed panorama, which he later revisited with cloud cover. Spring is beginning there, as it is here, though differently.
Dunlin found daffodils. (Please, follow up the frogspawn with tadpoles and frogs!)
Steve also had rain, which provided him with the clouds he likes to photograph. The cat and the ladder was a fascinating side trip!
We ended with a discussion of raw files and their processing: it is nice to see people branching out and exploring the optimising of results from their photos. It is a bit of a steep learning curve, but worthwhile.
