Thanks so much @patrickw-2! I always appreciate your encouragement 😀

@patrickw-2 i name my folders by year and month.  so 202409 for this month.  that keeps everything in chronological order instead of all of the months jamming up together or january being followed by october.  i might put a few descriptors behind it like toys, vacation, or wildlife so i know what’s in that folder.

i started out in the 2000s gr…[Read more]

@elax i’m throwing all animals under the wildlife section just to keep things simple.

@patrickw-2 i get what you’re saying.  it’s hard to find the gem you shot months ago in a folder full of filenames.  especially if you didn’t edit when you shot it.  every few years i’ll plug a harddrive into lightroom and load everything.  gives me a good ide…[Read more]

This intriguing image by Patrick posted on the tails end of last weeks challenge is as creepy as its well done. What Patrick says about it is: No photo it never happened .. I HAD A CUNNING PLAN  lol  – which adds to the mystery. Still there is an image and it was posted… A frame within a frame within a frame – one suspects a mirror somewhere i…[Read more]

There must be some devil in the system that doesnt like me lol.

Just reposted @patrickw-2

@admin-2 15 years? Wow it has flown by. Lots of things learned a long the way. Maybe I can pass some of that along just as Rob has passed his knowledge to all of us.

@patrickw-2 & @loki thank you for your kind words

Thank you so much @wendyp  @elax  @patrickw-2 It was taken at a fair and this young lady likely raised her stallmate from a calf. She would be “showing” it. Such real trust and bonding that makes a connection in them both.

thanks @patrickw-2 & @patography.  patrick, i believe he was on the phone to his friend.  but i thought it best not to disturb him.  i have to redo the campfire.  i very quickly added that and the marshmallow in post and forgot to blur the fire.

thanks, Patrick @patrickw-2

thanks @patrickw-2

mostly I’m searcing Pinterest and Fine Art America

Hi Patrick @patrickw-2

I like the the light/shadow rendering

one humble suggestion: try to avoid the higlights blow-up

@patrickw-2 No wonder you love nature, mountains and roaming dirt paths. BTW, haven’t seen “pup” in a while. Miss that hanging tongue and drippy drool.

@patrickw-2 do you have loons on lakes and ponsds where you are?

@patrickw-2 and @frogdaily  thank you. It is a very beautiful place. And quiet. It’s about as close to the “pioneer” days as I care to get – LOL.  Our daughter was out fishing most of the time. Both of us caught our share of fish, but none to keep (this lake is known for its poor fishing!) – sunnies, white perch and chub, which are the garbage f…[Read more]

I like that one @patrickw-2

Strange – I see it @patrickw-2

@patrickw-2

Patrick-  I like it and would consider to shoot the still life with the hat and some more props

A quickie story w iPhone “Off to the Woods”.  We are preparing for a short trip to an old haunt. Looking around makes me wonder – will we be ready to flee?! Take your food, take potable water, take son, take daughter, take grandson. There will be no electricity, plenty of fish to catch and scenes to capture. (Story TBC, but @patrickw-2, I liked…[Read more]

@patrickw-2 I hope you have some really strong deodorant since you have hereby been forbidden to bathe.

@patrickw-2 I like both of these images, Patrick. The locks are a wonderful catch but this one with the musician back to and everyone else facing forward is eyecatching. I find myself looking at each face coming towards the musician. I was really drawn into this frame.
