Thank you.
I was hosting a Zoom meeting scheduled for 3 hours later with a writing group I’m a member of and hoped to start it off from this location. Went there to find out if I could get a cell signal. I doubted I could and it didn’t work out.

Was surprised to see the sun and glad I remembered how to create the effect

Thanks. There’s hardly a landscape image that doesn’t benefit from “larger, if you please.” In a critiquing session of our local camera club a couple of years ago (had to be framed prints and I went to minimum size since it was going to wind up on a wall at home), the only criticism was “bigger”.

Thank you and gladly.
Looking Glass Falls in the Pisgah Forest is often referred to as the most frequently photographed falls in the Eastern US. It is right smack dab against highway 276 heading from Brevard NC to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Copious parking roadside, stairs down to a couple of levels to just above the water itself, easy to step…[Read more]

Glad you liked it. In the absence of getting out there, I indulge in reimagining my images.

Thank you. Got lots of feedback including from the Shark Tank to the color version(s). Not sure I got all of them but it helped me revision the original image.

Once upon a time, my wife, children and I would visit the beach (North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, USA mostly). When our children were mostly grown, my wife’s parents moved to the beach and we would visit them at least monthly. I’m not a swimmer. I didn’t care for the shopping and congestion, even then before the major building boom replaced…[Read more]

PS cannot create a Woodpecker. It has to have a stock of Woodpecker images somewhere to choose from and suggest for the space. So Robert is at least partly right. We are very close to paint by numbers in this example.

Steve Walker replied to the topic Generative Fill in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 1wk, 1d ago
In the example given, I think the 2 base images both belonged to Rob which is significantly different from telling photoshop to go find me a Woodpecker and put it on tree bark. There m9ghr also be some additional processing done that goes beyond the photoshop elements. That’s all about this particular example, though. It’s a nuance that needs rec…[Read more]

I have long thought that a category of “composite image” should be around and in use. Substituting skies, putting a moon into a night image that wasn’t there–examples we have all seen and possibly even produced ourselves using tools available since the darkroom. AI generated is a sub-category.
If I were a painter, I would not be bound by the…[Read more]

Thank you. 2 sides to the frame within a frame.

Steve Walker replied to the topic Back to the falls in the forum Landscape Photography 1wk, 3d ago
Thank you. Nearly all the pictures I see from here are of the falls themselves, as in my image of the photographer at work. When I remember to, I try to look behind me. There are often gems there as well.

Steve Walker replied to the topic A mix of feelings in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 1wk, 5d ago
There are scenes in Girl With The Pearl Earring where Vermeer is teaching his maid how to mix elements to make specific colors of paint needed. I wonder if the invention of ready-made paints caused those artists dismay and concern that “things are getting too easy” in the way that we sometimes worry over the invention of tools that help us create…[Read more]

Steve Walker replied to the topic An unknown photographer at work in the forum Landscape Photography 1wk, 5d ago
Thank you. His presence does make this different from the tens of thousands of images of this waterfall. I’m not the most sociable person, but he studiously ignored me when we were only about 10 feet apart—very very focused.
