Photo of the Day August 2020

[r.harris1]

I'm finally able to get out again. It's amazing how rusty I feel. With this particular camera, it only wants to be at base ISO and sat on a tripod. The exposure time was something like 1.5 seconds and this deer was very, very still (If I don't move, you won't seem me ).

This Colorado state park is called Barr Lake. It's a lake that's a reservoir for farmers in the area and at certain times (this is one of them) it's very low. Where the deer is standing, it's often under water (or close enough). Other images in this series will show how very low the lake is. It's also the home of a large breeding population of Bald Eagles so it's very interesting over the January-March timeframe as the birds are raising their chicks and hunting fish in the lake.

It's interesting what filters can do..... I had shot this image the other day and while I liked the curves and shapes, in color it just wasn't interesting, so I converted to B&W and still wasn't happy with the results. Finally I resorted to going to the Photomania website and fooling around until I hit upon just the right filter that created a much more interesting look while retaining the curves and shapes that had attracted me to photographing the subject (a brown wooden footstool) in the first place.....

Taken with a Sony A7 II, raw processing in LRCC (iPad), finishing off using Affinity Photo (also iPad). I’m developing an iPad only workflow, for travel, that I hope will give me equivalency, in terms of the end results, to the Mac. Missing Topaz a little...

Our local harbour port area shipping channel. For some reason Lightroom Classic has had a brain fart on this and the other images I captured here, suggesting they were taken with a Canon body and lens combo, which I haven't had for a long time now! I find that particularly interesting as this is a clean install of Lightroom Classic on a new computer and I don't use any of the Adobe Cloud features! ?

Fujifilm X20: ISO 2500, f 2.5 @ 1/300 sec

Pushing the limit for this camera, which experience now suggests is ISO 1600, after which noise starts to affect results significantly.

Last one for August...

This is a tiny little thistle-like thing, haven't yet figured out what it is......the background comes from the surrounding Black-eyed Susans.

Maybe a rained on dandelion?

No, there were lots of these and they are very tiny, much smaller than a dandelion -- some sort of bush, actually -- but I wanted to isolate just one. Sometime I'll try shooting the whole thing from a different perspective, too. This does look like a sad, forlorn dandelion, though!

I decided put my wide angle lens on my Sony camera and go for a walk. This is my house and as you can see I'm not much of a landscaper, plus I really can't stand doing yardwork. Though I did some massive pulling weeds out in front of the house a couple of days ago as I started to sing "Welcome to the Jungle!" in my head. ? ? ?
