Your Canon Photos No.2: 14th to 20th May 2023

While hiking we saw this one standing alone on the trail. The beauty has gone and only the ripe fruits are left.

Photobygms,

Ah yes...the dandelion. I've taken pictures of both the flower and seeds lately also. There's beauty to be found with such a lawn pest. 😀

Very interesting capture and I like the format!

Nice shot - I like the colors and POV! And I love dandelions as well, they are so versatile.

Thanks mocha.

Here's something different...

Did I just glue a lens to my hands? by simple.joy, on Flickr

While not real of course, I guess it could happen to some of the people who tend to frequent the Adapted Lens Talk part of the forum (including me). 😅

Hi simplejoy,

My guess is that you took the picture, with the lens rested on your hand. Then you flipped the photo around with software.

Visited a National Trust property called Nostell in Yorkshire, UK yesterday. Didn't go in the house but had a lovely walk round the gardens and parkland.

Great photos @HessleHiker. I enjoyed seeing them.

I posted an iPhone photo in the older thread. I am reposting it here. I have kind of abandoned my DSLR camera in the past year due to health issues. Hope I’ll be able to get better and use it again. Here’s the text and photo from the other post. I often post photos from my whereabouts rather than stellar art. I hope it’ll be ok here.

Let’s see if I remember how to post something here…

I’ve been busy in the past month selling a house (my mom’s house, the family house my dad had bought in 1962). As you can imagine, the house was loaded with things from the past. Gigantic job. Now I’m exhausted…

So I’m living in the last of our family houses, built in 1964. Beautiful place but the electric grid has become fragile and we’re plagued with power failures all the time.

I finally decided to go with the ultimate generator as moving and cranking the portable ones has become too much for me. I hope it will serve me well. We had another power failure yesterday but it is not connected to the liquid propane tanks yet!!!

I see DPReview is still up and that the closing banner has disappeared. This is silly. They say they’re closing, then they give an extension and now no more closing banner. Are we supposed to go back there?

I seem to be struggling uploading files here. Just trying again and again…

I think I may be hitting the save button too fast. I’ll have to resurrect my photo site I think and link photos instead of uploading.

What you need to do @benjilafouine is press on this button when uploading:

This button will add some computer code to your post, which, when posted, is your photo (s)

Thanks Dunlin

Thanks David. We only live about 45 miles from Nostell so not too far off

benji,

After hitting the two little rectangles to insert a photo into your post that Dunlin showed, over on right side the will see a button that says :Preview.
You can hit that and preview what your post will look like before you actually post it.

If you are trying to insert a photo that sits on an external web site (and not on your computer), you have to hit the little icon that looks like an mountain, and type in the url address of the location where your photo is sitting.
