Your Canon Photos No. 7: 18th to 24th June 2023

Super shots mocha. My fav is the butterfly.

Hello from Kernow (Cornwall) everyone.
I am indeed taking pics, and looking forward to sharing.

Hi fotoword,

Love those early morning colours, stunning.

Hi Dunlin, Thank You.

Hope you get lots of photos, weather is looking good after localized showers today, later in the week it could reach 30C. 😎

Great shots, love the colorful water and the interesting poses. I like this one particularly and would call it "conducktor" 😉 Very well captured!

So, the news is out.
Dpreview has been purchased by Gear Review:

Where does that leave us?

Dunlin,

I think it leaves us right where we are.

Photography-wise, I don't see Gear Patrol going any where.

They loudly proclaim that the have acquired DPReview, but their magazine is full of articles on pen knives, pizza ovens and pickup trucks, etc. I can't see them devoting a lot of print space to the art and science of photography.

Hi SimpleJoy
Now that you mention it, I see that is quite the appropriate title 😃. Very clever.

Thanks for the comments.

Cheers

Subject: Programming and Waves

Hi everyone,

I edited this on 6/22/23 to explain more about the beach pictures. Sorry...I've been going so fast with so many activities that I didn't explain it very well.

I'm back from vacation (holiday). I'll start off by showing some pictures I took the previous week at Cannon Beach, Oregon while I work on the post processing from the Montana trip. I used these Cannon Beach wave pictures to test out my newly revised EXIF data program which I describe below.

Because I'm so busy post processing, I won't be very active on this board for about the rest of the week (other than a few simple comments). I've got about a thousand more photos to process from my trip to Montana and back, a lot of them taken from a moving car.

But I wanted to share with you, some more of my EXIF data programming. I was thinking last night that I could list the photo number with the selected EXIF data programmatically with a space, that is with a carriage return which is Chr(13). The space would be where I could embed the photo. So now I can do all of this much much easier and faster with less chance of errors too. As always, I would share the code with those that are interested. With that code that I used, here's a sample of the weekend prior to my vacation. Also you all should expect that the code could change, as I think of new ideas of how to save time and do things differently. I may also add options on my form. In other words, it's still preliminary. I write programs so I can make life easier, as I often make life more difficult by keeping so busy. 😀

The wave pictures are a very small sample of dozens of photos I took at the Cannon Beach. They also had a sand castle event that gave me plenty of other photo opportunities. With this edit I also revised the third picture. It was not straight at the horizon and a little too dark for my liking.

David,

Thanks for making me aware of that.

I edited my post to explain better. But I did say prior to editing "here's a sample of the weekend prior to my vacation." That was buried in my EXIF data programming comments. But the whole thing was not clear, so I fixed it. I've been going too fast.

When did you go to Montana? Where in that state did you go? Did you visit Glacier National Park?

A nice set of images of your neighbour! I believe this is a pine squirrel, often referred to where I live as a red squirrel, but note that it is not the same as the European Red Squirrel that has much longer ear hair!

Yeah - you're right! Seems significantly better suited for what you do! In the first shot it might be a little bit too wide for my taste, but of course that could easily be cropped, while the reverse option (stitching) with the 50 mm is no great alternative on a busy street with people moving. In the shot of "Neuer Markt" it works very well and really captures enough of the space to provide a good impression. Well done!

Hi Digirame,

The first photo with the light illuminating the crashing waves and the birds around the rock looks tops to me. 👍
