Photo of the Day: April 2019

[bruinsrme]

As iPhone photos go, not technically very good, but the two dogs racing around the garden today just begged for a shot.
The lurcher (greyhound cross) is going flat out, and the little black mongrel is doing his best to keep up, hence the blurring.

Not quite fast enough for the puppies

Not certain if posted this one before. Just looking over "water" photos for the weekly and rejections narrowing the list...but good for here.

New pine tree buds.

Keep an eye on those. The yellowish ones are the male “flowers” of the pine. When the time is just right, each will produce a cloud of pollen that will make your eyes water!

Crayfish climbing on rocks yesterday along a creek at a local MetroPark.
iPhone 8+ using the 2X lens and processed in Snapseed.
It was about 10cm long not including the antennae.
Thanks for looking,

I have 17 photos I've processed so far. I'm not sure which one I like best. I'll be sharing more here over the next several days. I also have a lot of Grand Canyon photos to share once I've finished them.

Now it's your turn to show us Upper Antelope Canyon!

Now it's your turn to show us Upper Antelope Canyon!

Yep! I'm going to focus on some parts you didn't share so we won't be repeating much. I might share some similar shots to show differences in photographer style, too.

More from Wales I'm afraid - can't compete with Antelope Canyon @Keleko !

Sometimes you see something and you wonder who was the first person to think "I'm going to eat that".

I've shared this photo before. It's from 2013. Taken with a Leica MM and 50mm f/2 lens. I've always really liked this crop of the original, but the problem has always been that it was a very extreme crop that resulted in file sizes that were too small to print. Even when upsampled in PS, I wasn't happy with the resulting files.

Recently I became aware of some new software from Topaz labs (https://topazlabs.com/gigapixel-ai) that lets you upsample files in a way that I think is better than PS. Going to create a thread with examples (not sure it is appropriate for the POTD thread).

Anyway, here is my resultant image after upsampling in Gigapixel AI. This is what I had always wanted the image to look like.

DSCF0887 by Alex, on Flickr

Fujifilm X-T3 + Fujinon 56mm f/1.2 @ 1.2

I like using the 56/1.2 on the street. It's not my usual street focal length, but it can create a cool frame wide open.

Is he a friend of yours? Or just someone you happened to see and liked the framing? I like the idea of street photography but get hung up on the right to privacy kind of things. I know that in public there is no right to privacy, but often you still have to have a model release/permission if the person is identifiable.
