Your Canon Photos No. 5: 4th to 10th June 2023

CarryLight,

I like that not only were you able to capture the clouds with the dark sky, but I see you caught the sunshine on the water. It's great when we are able to capture these lights and shadows together. Well done!!!

Subject: How To Share Many Photos

I thought I would share with you all how to share many photos quickly, such I have done with the rose flowers and air show photos. What I do, is resize them so they don't take up much space and for other reasons. I create a special folder for them on my computer. I rename them in alphanumeric order, so they will appear here like I would want. Then when I push the arrow above, I use Ctrl-A to select all the photos in the folder and all of them will be loaded here all at once. It's super fast. You can embed them here too.

Since the EXIF data produced by DPRevived is not always consistent, I wrote my own program to show select EXIF data here for my Canon T7i (800D) and Canon M50-2 cameras. For the Canon M50-2 camera, sometimes the EXIF data shows an extra camera temperature over 120 C which does not make sense (and messes up my program). So I wrote some more code to find that anomaly and remove it. I had fun making that yesterday. I wrote the code in MS Word, which I rarely do, so I enjoyed learning this new syntax. But the principles of coding are pretty much the same, so I could figure things out relatively fast. I would share that with anyone, if they were interested. There's many other ways to do it. It was just something I stumbled upon and found it worked to my amazement in MS Word.

Anyway, writing code may not be your thing, but you can at least load up many pictures quickly at the same time with how I described it. Again, it would be in the order you want by first creating that in your folder on your computer. I thought I would share that with you. I hope I described it correctly. Let us know any of your tricks or tips on how to present photos easily here too. 😀

Another superb shot Dan. Well done.

That’s very nice of you Dunlin. Thank you kindly.

Dan

Thank you kindly Digi. I was fortunate enough for the scene to come together before me and all i had to was press the button. We do not get a lot of sun this far north, but when the sun does decide to show itself it can create quite dramatic scenes.

Dan

Thank you Davidwien. Lovely shots of the flowers. I can almost smell the roses from here I am sitting.

Dan

Hi Dunlin,

Ahh Yes but will you be in time to see the beautiful Poppy fields. 😁

Hi simplejoy, Thank You.

This peak is called "Klotinden" (671m above sea level) and can apparently be traversed by foot, though I have yet to try so.

Dan

Hi davidwien,

Love the photos, that garden looks beautiful.

Hi CarryLight,

Excellent photo.

Wow.
I'll be sure to tell you.

Impressive.

David,

Your rose flowers look great. I like the red color a lot too. Years ago, I don't think the reds turned out as good as they do now; at least that was my experience with some of my older cameras (taking them as out-of-the-camera JPEGS).

Mocha,

Yes, the poppy fields are beautiful. We can't wait for Dunlin to find some more.😀

CarryLight,

Wow...that's neat...great photo. That would be a good hike to the top. I'm sure you would get a lot more photo ops. 😀

Great capture - very atmospheric with the fog! At 671 m it doesn't seem too bad, I guess. But it absolutely depends on the condition of the path (or lack thereof) if it's worth it, I'd say! 😉 (Last but not least it also depends on how fast the weather can change in that region.)

So... I have a question for all of you here, given that a couple of people seem to enjoy shooting some flowers as well:

Do you really try to get the full flower in focus usually?

Being a macro shooter for the most part and also using old manual lenses exclusively (many of which, like projection lenses don't have a variable aperture) that thought seems very foreign to me, even though I get the notion and value of showing a full bloom in its own right of course - particularly if the intention is an accurate documentation. I still usually can't bring myself to do that.

I just find the background way too distracting most of the time, unless everything else is really far away or I got some of those (rare) lenses in hand, which seem to be able to render anything smoothly, no matter how far you stop it down.

Here's a shot with an Agfa Super-Intergon 105 mm f/5.6 (wide open), which shows the maximum DOF where I usually still feel comfortable:

Perhaps I can sometimes deal with going to f/8, if I feel like there's enough interest in showing more and I'm already relatively close... but usually I like somewhere around this best:

(shot at around f/2.8)

or even softer, like this:

I'm curious to know your thoughts and preferences!
