Taken 08/14 in Central Florida. This mature crane and junior are part of a non-migratory trio I see on the nature trail behind my house almost daily. For those who don't know about their call, I'd liken it to a metallic-sounding rooster! Over time they let me get close with some patience and proper positioning. This was shot with a 70-200mm but they have also given me some 35mm portraits in the past!

Was out walking the dog just before sunrise and noticed some fat dew drops, so I decided to finally set up for this kind of shot. Macro can be a pain, even with still subjects, but quite rewarding!

I found the colors interesting and the synchronized walk.

I shot this pic with my phone of the time, which was an Oppo A74.

The pic is unedited. What do you think?

I'm not the best at astrophotography, but I really dig it and I'm working on getting better.

I was hoping to get some more shots on my trip but I had to leave early due to wolves crowding entirely too close (within 50 yards and less than 10 when I hopped into my car) while I was taking my shots.

I have a version of this that's 9x20 compared to this one's 9x16. It has a bit more ground so it fits better as a phone wallpaper compared to this one IMO.

Edit: Mt Adams is the little bump in the bottom left of you're curious.

Took a walk around Cliff Falls Park in Maple Ridge this morning. Might be worth a re-visit in the fall, once the water flow is stronger.

Hello everybody. I'm planning to get my first camera body and lenses but I'm not quite sure on what lensens to get. I think I'll get a LUMIX DMC-GF1 which I can find for fairly cheap prices so I can spend most of the money for some good lenses.

What lenses would you recommend me buying? Is there some kind of "general lenses" I can use without having to switch them according to situations? I'm very new and confused by all the technical terms and stuff

I'm sure a lot of regular photographic techniques apply, but what might be some specifics to keep in mind with smartphone cameras in particular?

For example, would camera app choice make much difference, or is stock preferred as being more likely to have the most access to the camera's hardware/sensors? What are some ways to mitigate or prevent any automatic "improvements" to photos taken via smartphone outside of whatever simple settings stock camera apps may provide?

Regarding that last question, might that be the breaking point where one might prefer a more dedicated camera over a smartphone's camera?

Unfortunately I can't repost here because there's no option to reduce the photo size. So I put a link to my mastodon. Appearently you can buy these things from eBay and Amazon but I made my own for a few bucks and a 3d printer. The results are fun lomo 3D. Well not really that lomo at all actually. Pretty cool photos in my opinion.

Testing out my new macro lens on an extremely hot day. This guy didn't seem to mind the baking ground and, in fact, seemed quote noble on his perch! I'd like to think this would be his official portrait.

My wife recently got this cool houseplant that has these almost silver leaves. At macro the texture looked even cooler!

Got the bug (heh) for macro photography this weekend and picked up a good lens for it that also doubles as a nice portrait lens. Overall, I found it to be hard but pretty rewarding and cool! I think I'll be looking at the tiny world often.

Summer sunrise once again, this time from Barnet Marine Park.

Hiking a very dry Menzies Trail in Golden Ears this morning, came across a few bunches of what I believe to be Buffaloberries. I like the leaf lines in this a lot.

Hi all, I'm looking for a resource or book to get further into photo editing. Preferably something that explores a handful of scenes and/or portraits and outlines or builds on basics to advanced techniques. I hope that's not too generic of a request...

Anyone here have any tips?

Taken for the 52frames.com challenge last week. I have a few more shots on my (relatively new) photo site.
