Just saw it on your Instagram… Very, very nice pic! Thanks for sharing would love to sit there and watch the sunrise

Jules recently replaced her iPhone 7 with an iPhone 11 and is experimenting with its many features. An example of one of the many photo effects . . . .

The pic on the left is your first day at the job and the one on the right is the day you put in your notice

More fun with Jules' iPhone 11. The second image was taken moments after the first but with the addiction of camera effects.

[Jett129]

Cool,fun stuff.

Been doing some surfing photography lately.

Nice shots @Jett129 judging by the framing you’ve either a boat or some monster zoom lens in your arsenal of camera equipment.

I was on the shore shooting with a 100-400 at 400,and they’re heavily cropped. I shoot in Raw,and the files come in at about 38mb,so I have some wiggle room. Shot at ISO-2000,f14 and about 1000/second.

Thanks for sharing @Jett129 the shoot settings, it’s the layer of detail I love about photography. This canon ad I saw years back resonates.

Thanks for the settings info @Jett129 . I’ve never done well at oceanside shots and your data encourages me to try it again at the next opportunity. Never shot RAW either. When you shoot RAW, do you necessarily have todo do color postprocessing? I’m hopeless at that bit.

[Jett129]

When you shoot RAW,it's sort of presumed that you will be doing some level of post processing,if nothing else,just to convert the file into a usable jpeg. I use a photo editing software by a company called DXO. I find that it makes it really easy to do color corrections/modifications,and cropping. They offer a free 30 day trial,which I would recommend.

Storm rolling in as the Sun was setting at the Belmar,NJ pier. Shot with a 100mm Macro lens,Polarizing filter at F4,ISO 2500 and 1/800 sec.

Very nice @Jett129 love the colours and the brooding atmosphere.

[Jett129]

Thank you. I use that pier to anchor a lot of my sunrise/sunset pictures and had been getting bored as of late,so I decided to experiment and use a lens that you would normally use for doing extreme close-up photography. Had no idea the storm was on the way when I set out to take the pictures. Took about 100 shots before I had to get out of there. This was probably the best one.

[dinobarnesberlin]

Looks nice the way that macro compresses things – nice capture

[Jett129]

Thanks. It’s a really sharp lens that I had gotten for my son when he was getting into photography. I don’t use it, so I thought let’s see what happens.

[dinobarnesberlin]

You can for sure get some interesting shots with it.
Your stuff looks good .

Today was a holiday here and the weather was promising for photos: little wind, good light. So I sat waiting for some birds to come for water and food. Not artistic, mostly just descriptive type bird pics…

Common thrush around here. Local name “jichi taruma”

Two tanagers; the green/bluish one is far more common and called ‘sayubu”.

This small guy, a parula, is an insectivore and moves in lightning fast bursts.

I was sitting in my kitchen having beers with a heavy lens on a tripod…lazy afternoon. Good relaxation.

(Nikon D500 and a 600 mm lens)
