Photo of the day - May 2021

[oblomow]

Welcome to Photo of the Day. The POTD thread was started by iGary in May, 2006 and converted to a monthly thread in November 2007 by Arn. POTD is one of the most popular picture groups on MacRumors, often exceeding 500 posts and 20,000 views per month.

Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.

Policies

*One Photo per Day - Don't post more than one photo each day.

*Multi-Quote - To comment on several photos, click the "+ (Multi-Quote) button. This puts all your comments in one post. Multi-Quoting is required on all of the MacRumors forums.

*SFW (Safe for Work) only - This is a site - wide rule. If you wouldn't show it in a public place, then it's NSFW (not safe for work). Think before you post.

*Describe your photo - Tell what it is and where you took it. If you know the EXIF data of a photo, include it. The following EXIF fields are recommended: Camera, ISO, Focal Length, Shutter/Aperture and Lens.


Note: Anyone may start the Photo of the Day thread on the first of the month GMT. Please copy a quote of this post to maintain all the formatting.

Having mis-posted a MayDay photo in the POTD thread for April, I must confess to being a Fool:

Also from Sandwich, Kent. Taken by me a Panasonic compact

A quick snap of the morning sky outside the gym, at 6:15.

Taken a few days back. Even with a hazy day it was way too much contrast for my little Fuji waterproof camera. Did the best I could working from a -2/3rds EBV. Shoulda brought the tripod and blended a 1 stop under with a 1/3rd stop over exposure.

No worries. I usually have feast and famine outings, so I stockpile a recent photos to share during those times.

Wow! Is that plant in the wild, or maybe some garden?

Doggo relaxing in the garden, didn’t even offer to help

That was in the San Diego Zoo Park, there’s a good size botanical section…
I was planning to go out in the desert earlier in the year, but then decided not to this year

Sinclair does not like seeing stray cats in the yard. If they are near the back door he growls and swats at them though the window. Or when they leave, he runs down to the basement and then up a tall stretching post to one of the windows so he can keep his eyes on them if they go by that side if the house.

He reminds me of Barney Fife from the Andy Griffith Show: "We've got to nip this in the bud!"

Camera on my iPhone. Focal length 4.25 mm, F number f/1.8, Exposure time 1/121,

Went on a walk after ages and found this old church on top of a hill.
