    Hi Bob, as a new DRevival member and to test contributing an image, let my first post image on this site be one of my favourites (almost an experiment as my first image upload):

    And what a nice image! Next time you upload an image, wait a few seconds until you see a box. The click on the box so it will create the code necessary to actually display the image at the position of the cursor.

    You can get a short primer here: dprevived.com/t/how-to-upload-your-own-pictures-to-this-site/2039/#post-17538

    My long-time partner and I got married yesterday. Things went off quite well and it was exactly what we wanted - a simple country wedding at home with family attending and a local judge presiding. No one flubbed their lines, food and drink was good, people, grandkids (all 11 of them) and dogs all had fun. We are lucky in that both families were very supportive of our decision - something that apparently isn't that common where a widow and widower get married later in life.

    I photographed the setting before things got going, but obviously couldn't photograph the actual wedding. Two of the guests told me they were avid photographers but didn't have good cameras, so I issued one a Sony RX100V and another with a Fuji XT2 and the 18-55mm lens. Each camera was set to shoot on automatic, so all they had to do was frame the pic and press the shutter button. I never use those cameras on full auto, so I experimented for a couple of weeks ahead of time and set up parameters that I knew would work well on full auto under the anticipated shooting conditions. Each camera had a 256GB memory card. I asked the two photographers to take a thousand pics of the wedding, the people, the food, etc, etc. and not worry about picking through them. I figured I'd cull through all of the countless files afterward and get at least some really good pics. I REALLY wanted one good image to print, frame and hang on the fireplace in the great room.

    The cameras worked great, but my idea was a total bust. There were perhaps two dozen frames captured between the two cameras. Most were distant snapshots where the people looked like tiny specs. I got virtually no usable images. Happily, this was the only disappointment of the day. I shoulda known better - guess you get what you pay for. Very disappointing with no way to go back and fix it. 😞

    This was the outside of the house in the morning after days of mowing, power washing, flower planting, etc.

    It was a great day!

    Many happy years Greg. Congrats!

    If you want the images to be visible without having to click on every image, read the following:

    It shows how to expand each thumbnail.
    Apologies if someone has already mentioned it.

    Warkworth Castle in Northumberland. Really taken as a tech demonstration of IS with the 10-24 and X-H2. Modern gear makes you seem a better photographer.

    Nice image. The texture and light go well together.

    A little fun/experiment with apertures on Viltrox 75mm

    Been trying to get out with this lens and try it out some more. A local trail has a nice covered/tunnel section to it. Light was definitely not great (mid-day harsh), but I didn't want to leave without something. So . . . a small sample of apertures. Squared the format, reduced the red color (jpeg recipe I had input incorrectly), and cooled the white balance a bit in Apple Photos. All ISO160 on X-T5. Can't remember if I had 1/8 diffusion filter on or not.

    Great shot. Makes me think about the history inside the walls. Mono really fits the image.

    Hi Bob
    I'll have another go at inserting images lol.

    These were taken with the X-T4 with the TTArtisans 17mm at closest focus distance.

    Subject is an insect (grasshopper?) sitting on a succulent (Money Tree plant?)

    Just Some Neighborhood Blooms.

    The amount of colorful blooms is staggering. These 2 are not earth shattering examples of great photography. Just driving around the neighborhood with the X-T5 and the new 70-300 attached one stops the car, gets out and shoots quickly before the neighbors get suspicious. OOC Jpegs, just resized to be under 4mb. No processing whatsoever.

    Great Horned Owlet

    I was surprised to discover that the owl nest had moved and even more surprised that the parents chose a very busy location in a New York City Park, just a few feet off of a very popular paved walk. Friends tell me that the two owlets fell out of the original nest about a week ago and the parents moved them to this nest. It is about 50 feet up and there are a lot of branches and now leaves in the area making it very hard to get a clean photo. The first photo is a crop to versicle and some off the top and bottom with my Nikon 500 PF on Fuji X-H2s APS-C body and taken from about 50 feet from the nest. The other two were taken from about 100 feet and I've added my 1.7x Nikon TC. These were cropped and processed to remove distractions.

    Don't you think it would be appropriate to image-capture the not-to-be licked liked lichen with a Leica? 🤣
