I remember the first time I saw this place, and realized the massive trees in front are Norfolk Island pines, which I’ve only ever seen as little houseplants.
Got a tip for us?

From Tuesday afternoon, sighting of a bobcat kitten from a later litter just sitting in the lane watching the ponies.
Absolutely beautiful place with tons of history. Well worth the visit in you're in San Diego.
May as well continue with the B&Ws.
This small cabin is located along the main highway in Capitol Reef National Park. When I visited in 1978 the park was less than 10 years old. Since then the cabin has been somewhat restored as the alternative was letting it go back to nature.
Early morning lighting. Shot on XXX film souped in D23, Schneider Symmar-S 180mm ƒ-5.6 (normal) lens, ƒ-22 @1/30sec. When viewed full size you can read the sign.

Well, I was responding to someone who wanted to know the camera make/model. So there's that.
But as far as exif goed; I find it helpful to finally get some understanding on what my settings should be under similar circumstances. I've been making snapshots too long, only having an eye for composition. Now I want to take to learn the skill of making good photos, and viewing exif on someone else's photo can help me. This of course applies to SLR, and hopefully I can have an instant knowing of what settings to use at a certain scene when shooting full manual.
The Cyclone, Coney Island (all wood roller coaster built in 1927 and still one of the scariest rides on earth)
And on that subject of glass is glass - no way. There are many differences in lens quality: sharpness, distortion, speed (affecting both light gathering and DOF), vignetting, chromatic aberration, bokeh quality, focusing motors, etc.
It is so cold here! Happy Holidays everyone...stay safe and warm. 🥶Raise a glass to family and friends! Poor rabbits!

Whilst I agree with your statement, I think @Steven-iphone means that a good, nice, appealing photo can come from any camera, any type of glass. Not meaning that there are many differences in quality, property et cetera.
One of my favorite movies! I've visited the Hotel twice over the years. Well the bar anyway
Filming "Some Like It Hot" | Hotel del Coronado's Famous History
The Del's iconic red roof can be seen starring alongside Marilyn Monroe in 1958's "Some Like It Hot," named the #1 Comedy of All Time by the American Film Institute.

I would definitely agree with that.
Thank you @PhilBoogie for your comment. I thought I was going to have to go out in this sub-freezing temperature to get a dozen donuts to calm my ego
. And I still stay with glass is glass. What has been brought up is lens construction - that can influence the quality of output. I learned the base during film photography. Lower f/stops shallower depth of field. Higher rated film speed lower light shooting. And keep that exposure needle pegged in the middle (that has changed over the years). It is not all about technique - I feel a good, even great photo comes from one's vision - and I do see where the base experience comes into that vision. Fortunately I realized I have some cream filled donuts in the fridge.Thank you @PhilBoogie for your comment.

And my apologies on the misinterpretation.
No worries. Each person has their own view and experience.
In the fall I posted the same subject, the difference is -12° C today, very unusual for Vancouver
Happy Holidays to all of you, the best forum ever as someone as said before : I totally agree 🎄🥰
Picked up a controller for my PC, so snapped a pic.
Couldn't wait to enjoy this Christmas gift from a friend:
My wife does YOGA 4 times a week. Two of the sessions are hot yoga with the room temp at 100°F/38°C.
