Photo of the Day: April 2019

[Darmok N Jalad]

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.

I would not like a stranger taking photos of me or my kids without my permission. One time we were at a public garden that draws a large amount of international visitors, and my then 3 year old son was smelling a rose looking all cute. A Japanese lady was beside herself and asked me if she could take his picture. I thought it was harmless to do so, but I was very appreciative that she asked first. As soon as I said yes, the rest of her group just started firing away! I wonder what happened with those pictures...

It was about 10cm long not including the antennae.
Thanks for looking,

SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch yesterday afternoon 35 miles (56 km) away from my home. Unfortunately a little late or would have seen a straighter con trail with red glow. Usual place has new tree so had to locate a better clearing. All set up. knew launched as saw live on phone, waiting to clear tree line. After 10 seconds didn't see it as came up just behind those trees on right. Had to take two steps over.

While only 1 photo per day (tempted to do two) have another from top of trail, open space with cloud, and above that the booster rocket separation and beginning fall trail. Will post that tomorrow​

Sandfall.

I think this is the only shot I was able to use a single exposure, even though I bracketed. All the others had too great a range of light vs shadows to capture acceptably with one exposure.
