Photo of the Day - November 2020

[tizeye]

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.

Local Rancher had a bit of late fall fun with his hay tractor. Did what I could with the rather poor lighting

Postings for November are too cheerful by far . Let me cure that. Some views of Manchester. Yes, it had stopped raining for a bit. A lot of the industrial buildings have been flattened or turned into trendy apartments but some scenes that capture the sprit of Cottonopolis still survive.

I think this is the first time I have ever posted an iPhone pic in the POTD thread. This is a HEIC pic from my iPhone 12 Pro with some cropping and adjustments in LR. My previous iPhone was an XS Max and I was never particularly impressed with the images/files it created. The output from the 12 Pro however is decent and usable. Really looking forward to Apple ProRAW. Won't be replacing my dedicated camera/lenses, but the iPhone has become a tool I would consider using for my photography.

Well, let's try this again......I mistakenly posted this image at the end of the October thread, forgetting that today is actually November 1st! Oops!

Any idea why it's called a Green Heron? It looks to be a mixture of blue, grey and red

According to Wiki:

The green heron (Butorides virescens) is a small heron of North and Central America. Butorides is from Middle English butor "bittern" and Ancient Greek -oides, "resembling", and virescens is Latinfor "greenish".[2]

Someone back in time must have had color vision issues when naming these birds. ?

Love every aspect of this picture. Colours, angle, perspective, lighting. The fog and the whitish sky in the backround. Gave me immediately a good feeling. Thanks!
