Beautifully crafted shots, CH.

The B&W version of the Pineapple Fountain is quite dramatic. Photos with long exposures of flowing water always seem so peaceful to me. Surreal. Thanks.

I like the ghostly bottles the best.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret, I just look forward to the things I still can.

I have to say that as good as my dog is with his camera he has never made moving water look as good as you did. :lol:

Nice pic.

This isn't one of my favorites, CH. The (intended) depth of field is just a tad too close, so that the gull's beak is ever so slightly out of focus. Other than that, I see brush strokes on the painted siding. Nice. Are the flags at half staff?

No, this was a flag hung from a large construction crane. I would have like to have had the flag flying in the opposite direction, but I haven't learned how to change the wind yet.

Actually, with the new AI generative capabilities of Photoshop, I could probably do that. It may not be long before you can snap an extremely crappy cell phone image and get AI software to automatically turn it into a very good looking image.

I know I've posted this one before, but this is a composite photo I did earlier this year. I had a picture with the geese in focus, but no moon. I had another of the moon with no geese. I also had several of the geese and the moon, but only the moon was in focus. I took the moon image by itself and added the geese from the other image. I also removed one of the geese that had a branch covering a good bit of him, and then repositioned another to fill the space. It made for a nice picture, but I found it hard to feel good about it. I screwed up when I took it, although in my defense I only had a few seconds to set up and take the shot when I heard the flock heading my way.

This one from this morning required no extreme measures. Other than be careful not to annoy the nest enough to evoke a response.
