Porch Photography / Multi Weekly Photos

[Robert Apple]

Relating to Rob’s Latest Challenge.

I guess I will stick with my back porch and my Motorola G5, A inexpensive low end cell phone,  and edit on the phone or tablet with Light Room Mobile , Will attach those I’ve put in Mobile Monday.

It Was a Long Tiring Day, But at Home I Had a Tall Wheat / Pilsner Lager, a Warm Fire, Some Blues on the Speaker , and a View of the Girls Grazing on the Hillside

Shooting with my cheesy litter Motorola 5G is a bit like Lomography.

More Porch Photography, Seems to be taking on a Beer Theme.

From my angle I was taking a photo of my new vinyl decal design on my black truck, but the phones angle got a reflection of the drive with a dog photo bomb, guess that’s what I get for cleaning it to be so shiny.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Thank you Robert 🙂

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Oh boy, this is gonna be good. That last one is a cracker and those sunset photos are just gorgeous. Beyond just a sunset photo, I think some of them really show the nature of where you are.

[Robert Apple]

Thanks Rob, pretty much everything I post shows the nature of where I am, or shows nature where I am , or some combination there of, or something like that.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Who made that old saying? If you want to know what of photographer loves then look at what they photograph. Certainly true in my case.

[Patrick]

If one suffered from stress of any type this place would help straighten you out , you would need to be numb to not appreciate the tranquility on nights like that , Wonderful.

[Robert Apple]

Thanks for Those words Patrick. Thats exactly why its here.

WHEN THE CLOUDS MIMIC THE MOUNTAINS

[Robert Apple]

Every now and then I can Squeeze a fairly good quality photo out of this cheap little phone.
Posers

[Robert Apple]

However low light photography is not its strength. But still enjoying the exercise and learning how to squeeze the most out of it.

Tonights Sun Set

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Love the scene and the beautiful colours Robert. Very dreamy 🙂

[Robert Apple]

Thanks Dahlia

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

This is another very effective one, Robert. I like how the branches of the tree basically framed that sunset. That way you have a specific centre of interest where the eye should go.

[Robert Apple]

Thanks Rob

[Robert Apple]

Good to have time for an evening on the porch

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Lovely place to relax Robert and a great night view too 🙂

[Robert Apple]

I thought about going mono but as the blue hour came on I realized that would be an insult to God to remove all that color from his creation.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Stunning colours Robert 🙂

[Retired Grunt]

@robertapple

Yes, awesome colors. Sometimes looking out toward the NW over the St. Lawrence River, the colors are those spectacular dominating purples with a side of blue and yellow-red.

[Robert Apple]

A couple weeks ago I downloaded the pro codec for my phone, it’s made a difference in low light Photography , like this blue hour sunset off the Back Porch.

[Robert Apple]

A bit of Drama on the back porch, we sold 13 pups when we bred our dogs and most of the folks have stayed  in touch. A few haven’t,  one of them contacted us new years day about Guinness a two year old sable male saying he was vicious with their kids, and surrendered him to us, he has all the traits of a severely abused Dog, he doesn’t know how to play with other dogs or people, cowers and hides all the time, was very happy to get away from his owner, hiding behind me, we had this pup for 6 months before we sold him, and he remembers us. Now we need to teach him to be a dog again and rebuild his confidence, and not to be afraid. He comes from good stock though and is getting better with each new day.

[Retired Grunt]

@robertapple

Beautiful dog! He’ll need patience and once verbal and physical love pushing through the damage, he’ll be himself as he’s meant to be.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Sad to hear what he’s gone through Robert. He’s a beautiful dog and must be very happy to be back with you 🙂

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

That’s a sad story, mate. A lot of people don’t understand the responsibilities that come with having an animal. The dogs lucky he got returned to you.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Fiery and magical! Absolutely gorgeous Robert 🙂

[Robert Apple]

Thanks Dahlia

[Anne Hornsby]

Wow, Robert.  What a great series.   My favorite gives a sense of your place, with the stairs,  dog face, beer plus wagon wheel in the background.

[Robert Apple]

Thanks Anne

The evolution of a Cloud, from late sunset to the blue hour
