Your Canon Photos No. 23: 8th to 14th October 2023

OpenCube,

This photo looks neat with the couple having the same colored clothes as the trees and vegetation.

It was pretty foggy this morning. I used a Cloudy White Balance.
Standing in one spot, looking in three different directions.

Steve,

Good for you to take pictures during foggy conditions.😀 It does look cold and damp.

Sorry it's taken me a while to get round to sharing photos. Recently I've spend my free time at the computer finally learning and using darktable.

Processed from RAW in darktable.

Taken at Wakehurst gardens.

Robbie the very friendly, supposedly stray cat.

Nice pictures Dunlin.

May Robbie live a long and happy life.

Hi Digirame,

The patterns in the shoreline of the lake look great, I'd be hanging one or two of them on the wall also the colours look stunning.

Hi Dunlin, Thank You.

Just every so often the canals break through the man made banking and nature is allowed to escape and do its own thing, hence the tree roots, Oh and the happy Heron. 😀

Hi stevet1,

I like the atmospheric look to those photos. Nice set.

Hi Dunlin,

I like what your showing, it takes many hours to master your chosen software and create your personal tastes in the photos you take. 👍

OpenCube,

You caught that at the right moment. What camera and lens did you use for that one? It looks like you captured a lot of detail.

Dunlin,

I hope you enjoy working with your software. The first one looks like a candidate for HDR, especially since there are no people or other objects that are moving. Does your software process HDR images? The type of picture you show, are those that I avoid, because of the bright light in the background and the darkness in the foreground. That's very tough to get a good image from it. But sometimes we can't avoid it. Usually, I see those type of conditions late in the evening when I have bright light and long shadows.

It looks like you caught Robbie taking a cat nap. Is that your cat?

Mocha,

I'm glad you liked the patterns in the shoreline. I wondered whether other people liked those images like I do. Obviously it wasn't hard to take, but it just looked good to me. And it's something that I can only see during the end of the dry season.

Everyone,

Tomorrow I will start the thread for the following week. David asked me to do that while he is away for a while. I hope to hear from him later sometime next week, after the weekend. I'll start it maybe a few hours earlier, because of where I am in Oregon. I think he begins it when I'm sleeping. 😀 So for my convenience, let's plan on about 7 to 8 pm Saturday, Pacific Standard Time.

If some mod wishes to explain why exif data doesn't transfer....it's just a full spectrum canon eos-m with the 15-45 kit lens and a 550nm filter.

This is me trying to salvage a picture. Does it work at all? I'm leaning towards no.

There was a lot of contrast, probably not a shot I could shoot as JPEG without HDR processing.

No, he's not. He was recently adopted though. Really just a change in title, as he was already living there and being fed.

I'd say yes, in a minimalistic sort of way.
