#63198 Your Best Photo, Week Ending 30 June 2019

I don't know if I'm stepping out of line here, but since no one has started the thread for this week I'll do it. ;)

 

 

Thanks for stepping up, Bengan! I've been traveling for the last couple of weeks (I even passed through Bobby's area and was surprised by now green and beautiful New Jersey was) and didn't have the internet access I thought I would. I always appreciate it when folks pick up my slack.

 

And what a bunch of awesome bird photos. Loved the bird theme--and Tony's lone flower! You guys always impress the heck out of me. I've tried photographing birds--need LOTS more practice. It's much harder than it looks.

Thank you for this detailed and helpful reply, ScottinPollock!!! I had really only been looking at Fuji and Sony, but now I see I probably ought to add Panasonic to the mix (that "small, amazing glass for cheap" is mighty appealing). I'm glad you mention the astro photography because that is important to me--I've been wondering if I wanted to sell my Nikon gear and make a complete shift or just add to my arsenal (as if I need more gear). Those weaknesses you point out make me think I'll do the latter.

 

And I would not have guessed shot glass!

The play of light and shadow is really nice here! And the textures are wonderful too. Nicely done!

Wow--I'm liking what I'm seeing from the Sigma lenses, sunshine and Bengt. Are you both pretty happy with them? 

 

And Peter and Bengt--thanks for including your settings. I'm working on getting to know my macro lens better, so it's helpful to see what settings you both use. Different lenses, of course, but it's still helpful to see how you're getting such successful images. 

 

Really strong work from everyone this week. Thanks for playing!

Machu Picchu? Are you having a bit of a joke with us, or were you really in Machu Picchu?  :D

In the times of film, these info were relevant but with digital, and the
softwares conversion power, I think they waaaay less relevant.

I did not feel/know that this was a rule btw!

 

I'm guessing fallout is referring to the EXIF data. It's not a rule--it's a request. It's a favor to those who might like to learn from you and wonder what lens you might be using or what your settings were and so forth. Not a requirement, but a courtesy.

Wow! What a fun moment to capture. Really well done! Shot with the new D850, I'm guessing? Looks great, Dogbytes!
