A follow-up from yesterday. Now that I think of it, the water lilies from the day prior were from the same site. Tomorrow will probably put a night shot.
Shortly after dawn, making a hundred-gallon batch of Brunswick Stew at a local hunt club in southern Virginia.
Hours of constant stirring with oak paddles keeps the stew from sticking to the cauldron and subsequently burning.
I had never seen this done before, and enjoyed participating in this traditional activity. Plus I really like Brunswick Stew.
Not being originally from the country, I have grown to appreciate the patience, wisdom, and general lack of pretense manifest in this community of multigenerational farmers. A significant shift in my perspective, which had been based on second and third hand information.
I am grateful and honored to be welcomed into this fine community.

From a trip to Wales.
I'm sick of seeing grey skies and rain so decided to post an older picture to remind everyone what the summer once looked like.
Comments appreciated.

Beautiful. I’m sick of the rain as well. Looks like a dry week coming though.
Just some tea mugs with my new iPhone Xs max in portrait mode.
Played with the depth of field effect. Clever stuff.

Thanks for looking,

Upon my covert entry into the abandoned amusement park I was greeted with this poor old merry-go-round in tatters.

Enjoy the bigness of your new toy regardless!

Being a pedant here, but I see they still haven't quite got the masking down-pat yet for these sorts of effects! The handle on the left mug hasn't quite worked out correctly. On my 8+ I've always found it to erratic at best, where I have found it to be consistent is with a hard edged subject against a dark background.

Sometimes interesting photo subjects aren't so pretty..... Spotted this in a local store, pulled out the iPhone X and fired off a shot (should've used portrait mode to get at least some bokeh blur for the background but didn't think of it at the time). Clearly Hallowe'en is on the way!!
Your right it’s not perfect, but it’s bloody clever when you think how quickly it’s done. To do something similar in PS would take me ages, and still not be perfect!
Btw I think your merry go round horses have escaped!

Not much of a looker is she? I don’t really get Halloween. More of an American thing.

I spotted a rose in our garden yesterday. If I get some light, I’ll pop out with my camera.
Normally closed in the evening, but a couple times a year will have special "Moonlight Concert." Provides new photo opportunities, just remember to pack the mosquito repellant.
Lets hope so, the only thing worse than driving to work in the rain, is driving back home in it too!
This is one of the overflow shafts from Ladybower Reservoir. Usually the water is up to the rim if not actually cascading down, but due to the hot and dry summer the reservoir is very very low.

Not a one. And, hard to believe, since living in the rural south, I have met maybe one person who goes by the name Bubba. Go figure.
It is a lot of money. And if there was any chance of a holiday at all in this house I'd much rather spend the money on that.
But the truth is I'm generally well off enough that I can treat myself from time to time.
I spend a lot more time on my iPhone than I do with my camera, so it was a no brainer for me. Plus I tend to upgrade every other year or so.
Do you use portrait mode much? Which phone did you have before (aka - did your old phone have portrait mode)? I had a 6s+ for nearly three years and upgraded to an 8+ a couple of months ago. I was planning to wait till now, but my husband wanted to upgrade too, and my son wanted an Apple watch, so we did some phone swapping with a BOGO option (my son didn't have a phone so got my husband's old one). Anyway, I wasn't expecting an upgrade until my husband said let's go do this today. I keep forgetting I have the portrait mode on my phone. I feel like I should use it more often, but honestly thought it needed a person in the frame for the algorithm to work properly.
Anyway, my point is that I probably out to try to use portrai mode a bit more often. I'm not looking to know the difference in your old vs new phone if it's better on the Max because I won't be upgrading for another two+ years again! Just wanting to know if it's worth experimenting more with it.
I have clearly not had enough coffee this morning as I know I am rambling and not writing cohesively. Sorry.
