Saturday & Sunday, July 15 & 16, 2023 - Dave - 07-15-2023
It's not quite Saturday for me, but it is for most of you, so I'm starting a Weekender before I catch some sleep.
Another oldie (June of 2023) here; it's some drought-resistant flowers from our front yard which I "Ortonized."
The softening and glow of the Orton effect seems to work best on images of the kinds commonly called Nature photography: flora and landscapes and seascapes.
Have a great weekend, everyone.

I like what you did to the flowers Dave.

Very nice image to start the weekend Dave. Bright colors on a dark background - classic.

Another hot one here, should reach the mid 90's F. I took an early morning ride before it got too hot. Also finished up a song project. An Internet friend and I have been collaborating on it - I did lyrics, rhythm guitar, vocal and lead guitar, she added drums, bass, strings, and vocals on the chorus. Fun project. I guess that is the next best thing to playing with friends in person.
Here is a photo of my new tent that I am anxious to try out. I can even stand up in it, not like the first one. I'm getting too old to be crawling in and out of a tend on all fours. The left side of the tent is supposed to be a place to park the bike, but I will likely use it as a patio if it rains, with a chair in it.

A tent with a patio. Luxury.

Thank you, guys.
Don, the new tent looks ideal for bike trips that involve overnight stays. I imagine it is quite compact when packed.

Good morning all. Dave, it packs up to about 24"L X 11"W X 6"H and weighs a little over 15 lb. Not as compact as the first tent but so much more room. I ordered it from Amazon and 2 days later during Prime Days it was about $35 less expensive. So I ordered another one at the Prime price and sent the first one back. They would not adjust the price of the first one, which had not even arrived yet, so I did the next best thing.
Playing around with the Panasonic Lumix this morning. Still learning all the focus modes, etc. This one is hand held, 100 ISO and 1/20 sec. Maybe I'll shoot at 200 ISO to get a better shutter speed. I was trying to use macro mode. Not totally successful with this shot. This was in my back yard and I was rewarded with numerous mosquito bites for my effort.

Pomegramite flower buds, Don?
I didn't have a fast enough shutter speed for to catch the bird.

Dave, cool Orton processing.
Here is one I did

Beautiful effect, Grant. Of course it's always good to have an excellent photo to start with, as you did.
